We were looking for a place to take our out-of-town friends for lunch yesterday -- somewhere with…read morean outdoor patio -- and stumbled across Joy Hill. The inside of the restaurant had a mid-century modern feel that reminded me of my childhood home. After sitting down and reviewing the menu, my friends decided on the frozen rosé, while I stuck with a Coke since I was driving. The soda hit the spot, but my friends found the frozen rosé a bit bitter and weren't fans. For starters, we highly recommend the garlic bread and pepperoni rolls. The sauces served with them tasted fresh and were packed with flavor. After appetizers, we ordered three pizzas and a Caesar salad. The restaurant got busier after we sat down, and our food took a little over 30 minutes to arrive. When the pizzas finally came out, they were absolutely worth the wait. They were visually appealing, and we couldn't wait to dive in. I ordered the veggie pizza, and it was so good. Our friends got the White Tiger pizza and added prosciutto, while my husband ordered the mushroom pizza with added sausage. It took us a few years to finally try Joy, but I can confidently say they make an awesome pizza in a relaxed, chill atmosphere.

My first time, I had a salad, which was decent, but it needed something. I mean, it IS a pizza place - so probably not the best choice. My co-workers got the jalapeno pizza (or something like that - a spicy pizza) - they all raved about it. My second time I did not fail and got the mushroom pizza. I don't remember the actual name, but it was definitely delicious. And again, service was friendly and attentive. I am a fan.

When I calmly asked why we were being refused, instead of receiving an explanation, I was threatened with pepper spray by staff/security. As someone who is used to dealing with high stress situations, I found the interaction especially concerning because this situation never warranted that kind of response. There was no professionalism, no clear communication, and no effort to de-escalate the situation. If you're looking for a place that treats customers with respect and communicates professionally, this was not my experience. Based on how we were treated, I cannot recommend MDE Lounge. (I have included pictures of the security that threatened me and denied me and my associates access)

The cocktails were definitely the highlight of the experience. Really cool atmosphere that almost makes you feel like you're in another country. I was disappointed to hear that one of the bartenders who really helped make the place special is no longer there. They had a great reputation and were a big part of why people enjoyed coming in. (My reasoning for a 4 star review, instead of 5) I'd still recommend checking it out for the drinks, but I hope they continue to maintain the level of service and personality that made the bar stand out! They do have a wonderful team here.

I grabbed a seat at the bar where the bartender was friendly and engaging. On a recent Wednesday at 7:15, the restaurant was packed. When I left around 8:30, it was still busy. That's usually the best review a restaurant can get. Loyal customers don't keep coming back out of habit. They come back because it feels like home. The all-day happy hour margarita for $9 certainly doesn't hurt. The second one arrives before you've had time to argue yourself out of it. I ordered the enchiladas with carne asada and their house mole. If you're expecting one of those intensely complex moles with enough ingredients to fill a pantry, this isn't that. Adelitas' version is comforting, approachable, and deeply homey. It tastes less like a culinary experiment and more like something your abuela has been making for decades. The carne asada was tender, the rice and beans were exactly what they should be, and every bite reminded me why comfort food never goes out of style. Before leaving, I made the smartest decision of the evening. Tres leches to go. I devoured it later at home while Netflix asked if I was still watching. The cake somehow manages to be light while completely satisfying. Don't skip it. Better yet, don't pretend you're saving it for tomorrow. Adelitas isn't trying to impress you. It's trying to feed you well, welcome you warmly, and send you home happier than when you arrived. Whether your abuela was Mexican...or Greek...you'll understand exactly what they're serving here.

Seating consists of clubby booths, small tables, high tops, and the bar. You can make reservations, but we managed to snag a table on a Friday evening as a walk-in. Tiki drinks are notoriously strong, but there are also sections of the menu for low ABV and non alcoholic drinks, which is good for me! I got the El Presidente, and my husband had the POG mocktail. Both yummy! Also yummy was the chocolate Kaluha toffee mud pie, which was awesome but very rich so the perfect thing to split. We didn't have dinner here, but we heard the next table going into raptures about how good their food was. Since the space is rather cramped, you will hear all the gossip from the drunk people at neighboring tables, which got hilarious after a while. Our server, Alex, was friendly and on the ball. Overall, a fun spot for dinner, drinks, dessert or all three. Mahalo!
