A beautiful way to spend the Memorial Day weekend. Perfect weather and temps. My handicapping not…read moreso good today... but with views of the San Gabriel mountains who cares. I was actually surprised at the size of the crowd Monday, very well attended. For those new to Santa Anita go to the Frontrunner for a restaurant experience overlooking the stretch run. Serious horse players go to the "Room" - it's next to the Chandelier room. Used to be called the Sports Book but now it's just unnamed. The clubhouse side has outdoors table seating just past the finish line. Plenty of bars and food venues throughout for those so like to walk around and visit the paddock and walking ring. Check it out!

We came here this past Sunday. I haven't been to horse racing since I was a little kid, when I…read morewould go with my Dad. Like those childhood memories, Santa Anita Park is a place frozen in time. The bones of the place are utilitarian, lots of metal in the building. It's an expansive horse racing park, but in a way, it also feels like you could be on a Navy battleship. I'm just processing that thought now, in retrospect. The park is nestled right beside the Angeles National Forest, and the view of the mountains is magnificent. The race tracks are dirt or grass. Between the view of the mountains, and the colors of the horses and jockeys, and the beautiful horses, it's a visually appealing spectacle. We sat in a small box in the grandstand with 3 seats and a tv so you can watch the horses when they are on the far side of the track. You can also change channels on the tv as they apparently are all hooked up to cable tv. We watched the Dodgers game for a while! They offer food service and the food wasn't anything special, but the serving sizes were generous. You can also order cocktails, wine & beer, champagne and soft drinks. Admission was only $10 and you go and make an afternoon out of it. Obviously, most people are betting on the races. We didn't understand a lot of the betting, so we just made simple $2 bets on whichever horses we liked best. I think at the end of our day, we had won $10. Definitely a worthwhile and fun way to spend a day in LA.

Okay Derby Room! I was very impressed that they allowed me to bring my dogs in here and allowed…read morethem inside if I kept them under the table where they were for the duration of my visit here. The food here wasn't bad. Not the best place to get pho but they do give you a very big serving of it. This place is bar food mixed with an American food and an Asian flare which is really weird but hey it works! And I dig it! The service started off good but then it tailored off and you didn't know who was serving you because at one point we just flagged anyone down for another drink. And the servers got super busy so it was a hit of a wait. I would really have like to give them a 4 1/2 star if I could. It's just the service was really good and then boom it changed. But all in all I would definitely be back.

My family and I spent the day walking around Lake Perris and decided to stop by The Derby Room afterward. First and foremost, Tabitha was an AMAZING server. Despite being completely overwhelmed and handling more than seven tables on her own -- while also bussing tables -- she still managed to provide excellent service and made sure our food arrived in a timely manner. She truly did the best she could under the circumstances, and it did not go unnoticed. The reason for the 3-star rating is primarily due to the establishment being severely understaffed during our visit. In addition, the overall presentation and cleanliness of the venue appeared neglected, likely from the UFC fight night event held the evening prior. I do want to give credit where it's due though -- Tabitha remained professional, attentive, and hardworking throughout the entire experience. The food was very delicious which my children could attest to! Thank you!

I was completely lost trying to find my way over to a nearby venue, looking stressed, when Emmanuel stopped to ask if he could help us. What blew me away was that he was completely off the clock--wearing his backpack and clearly heading out to his car to go home. Instead of just pointing, he went out of his way to walk my husband and me all the way in the right direction and was just incredibly kind and helpful the entire time. Selflessness of this level is such a rarity these days! I'm not a big casino visitor, but the next time I am in the area, I'll definitely be dropping in--if only to play some slots and thank him again. Management, please give Emmanuel the recognition he deserves; he is a phenomenal asset to your team!

Super unprofessional and shady. After the event ended at 11 PM, it took us 2.5 HOURS just to get out. Workers were standing around doing nothing--no direction, no traffic control. The only reason things finally moved was because a cop showed up and stepped in. It was so bad we had time to walk to In-N-Out, get food, come back, eat, and STILL hadn't moved. Total chaos. Never again.

UPDATE. We rescheduled our Vow Renewal from May-Dec, which seemed easy enough to do at first when…read morecommunicating with Chris, who was going to be onsite manager for our event. It proved more difficult when dealing with the owner Scott. I'll start by saying the end result was us rescheduling at the same rate that we booked & our event went well, however it wasn't without hiccups. When rescheduling, we were specifically instructed by Scott to cancel our booking in Peerspace & rebook the new date. That's when issues started. Before cancelling I mentioned how Peerspace won't refund our full amount & Scott replied that whatever isn't refunded will be credited toward the new date. That didn't happen without us constantly reaching out via text, email, & Peerspace. When you request a date on Peerspace it's pending review/approval from Blush, however it charges you immediately. Since we opted for the payment plan that required about half down & remainder later, we were waiting on our refund to book the new date. It never came. When we were finally able to have a phone call with Scott, I couldn't get one word in the entire time he was mansplaining the world of business. He was very patronizing & I swallowed my pride because we just wanted a resolve & to not lose the deposit. I asked very clearly whether he was going to uphold our agreement. He did, but under the condition that we pay the remainder of our balance upfront in good faith to them. We did & that was that. Thereafter, it was back & forth whether Chris would still be working our event which Scott said he was. Chris was the saving grace of Blush in our opinion. Customer service & how you treat people is king, so it put our hearts at ease. But not for long, since it was changed later to Jin. Getting Jin to respond was difficult. We requested a final walk through with our coordinator about a month before our event. Jin told us he wasn't feeling well & wasn't present for most of the walk through. So we asked questions via email instead. I specifically mentioned a clean facility is important to us. The place just wasn't as polished as we first saw it. He was responsive only after I'd send text follow ups. The week of, not at all. I was waiting on confirmation about our drink selection which I never got & we just hoped it would all work out the day of. Day of our coordinator arrived first. The bathrooms were clean but the bar, cocktail tables, mirror hallway, & front door were full of fingerprints and sticky as if not cleaned from a previous event. We were told there would be 2 staff & that they'd be able to help us move cocktail tables. We weren't aware one of those people would be Jin & he wasn't helpful at all. He completely ignored our coordinator & aunt, but jumped to help our DJ with the sound system. We can only conclude it's because our DJ is a man & as a same sex female couple that leaves such a bad taste in our mouths. Our coordinator & aunt ended up cleaning everything with the one rag & spray bottle he gave after we repeated asked. Coordinator, wife, son, & I moved the heavy tables/ottomans. The drinks didn't taste like our selections. But the worst part was that he started charging our guests upon arrival. My wife & I stepped away to change our clothes. We were there 1.5hrs before start time & Jin never approached us or our coordinator for our card. He also had our itinerary ahead of time and met our coordinator. FYI on top of booking fees, you're also required to use their bar service for ALL drinks alcohol/nonalcohol which is included info on Peerspace. We agreed we'd cover the required minimum of $2500 & once we reached that amount it would turn into a cash bar. Our guests approached us confused about the bar so my wife personally went to Jin & asked why people were being charged, to which he responded "I couldn't find you guys." They immediately include their tip, which we weren't aware of, so drinks totaled to about $2100 w/ the remainder being tax/tip. They continuously ran out of cups & had zero cups for the water dispensers. We were refilling used water bottles to give to the kids. My aunt & cousin were busing tables. Bartenders didn't care to stay quiet or hold drink orders during vows. Every video we have of our vows is them shaking drinks & slamming glassware. There were good things too, kinda. It wasn't communicated to us that the front bathroom was for staff only & we had a outfit change planned, so after first saying no, Jin ended up letting my wife & I use the front bathroom. Also him assisting our DJ resulted in the music going well. It's sadly overshadowed by all the other things that needed improvement. It comes down to a lack of customer service & professional decorum, because the venue itself is beautiful. We gave a final 3 STARS because everything came together. Those missing components are just so vital. A work day for them is literally someone else's most important day that they're choosing and paying to celebrate at Blush.
