    Great place to getaway and just hang out with the fellas, watch a game, play chess or backgammon, pool & just relax. They also have some very cool events like a monthly steak, scotch & cigar social at a steakhouse close by. Beer & cigar pairing event at a local crafty brewery, & they periodically throw potlucks.

    We decided to walk in and give this place one last chance. Still no customer service. A very lax attitude as the employee was visiting with the customers as if he was one. We tried asking some questions but again the employee was too busy in a conversation with one customer after another as if visiting with old friends. We did not feel welcomed. In fact we felt as tho we had walked into a good ol boys club where we were intruding and a nuisance. I would have liked to have had a good experience. Hoping this place would have turned around and ready to take the opportunity redeem themselves. Unfortunately that is not the case. So sad. This used to be a favorite stop for us. It's all so unfortunate. It's been a year and I thought it might be a good idea to see if anything had changed. It hasn't. It's so sad. The previous owner did such a beautiful job with the place. In my humble opinion it's going to hell in a handbasket. Again in my humble opinion the owner has no clue what he's doing. I tried asking an employee for some adviceBut they were too busy schmoozing with the good old boys club. It's not like we are dependent on them for good cigars. Just thought I would check the place out and see if it had changed for the better. Unfortunately not.

    The vibe is great. A huge selection of cigars. The people are super friendly. I wish my area had a spot like this. Definitely would pay these guys a visit when I'm in the area! Cheers!

    I'm glad I found this place. I'm not a smoker, but wanted to try a cigar, the owner recommended the Davidoff Cigarillos. Excellent choice!

    San Cristobal Revelation  is a brand of Ashton. This cigar produces plenty of smoke with a nutty flavor that is pleasing--try one.

    I can't say enough good things about this shop. The owners are always welcoming and make sure you are comfortable. They will make recommendations and even sit down with you and have a smoke. If your looking for a great atmosphere to smoke and enjoy yourself this place is for you.

    Great cigar oasis in the desert, plenty of seating, large humidor and even a pool table. 4 flat screen tv's and drinks available. Patrons are super friendly, respectful and welcoming even if you're not a local. The owner was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely be returning when I'm in the area again

From the moment we walked in, the place was a whole vibe. The atmosphere was fun, lively, and exactly what we were looking for. The service was excellent, and our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. I always appreciate when a server can confidently make recommendations and answer questions. For food, we ordered the Brussels sprouts, ahi crudo, potato tacos, and cheese fries. Everything was delicious, but those cheese fries?! Whew, baby! ‍ They were the star of the table. Crispy, cheesy, and absolutely addictive. If you're debating whether to order them, this is your sign. The drinks were also on point and paired perfectly with the food. Overall, everything we tried was flavorful and well-executed. As for parking, I honestly couldn't tell you much because we took a Lyft and were fully committed to enjoying ourselves responsibly. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an even better atmosphere. What more can you ask for?

    Part 2 of last night's date night was around the corner at Copehouse Bar. It had started raining,…read moreso we were grateful for the short walk to arrive. We seated ourselves at our favorite raised table in the corner on the far side of the bar. My husband and I stuck to traditional cocktails, and old fashioned and a Negroni. Our friends chose signature cocktails: the Turbo Granny and the Electric Feel. Now the Electric Feel was not just a drink, it was an experience. Our server explained to our friend that he should sip a little of the drink, then chew the Szechuan buzz bud for about 15 seconds, letting it coat his whole tongue, then enjoy the rest of the drink which would taste different afterwards. Our friend went through all those steps and said it was incredible, like all the flavors were enhanced along with different sensations in his mouth, kind of numb and tingly. His wife was not satisfied with his description of the experience, so she bought a Szechuan buzz bud for $2 and she said it was kind of like pop rocks. These buzz bud looks just like a little flower bud like the end of a dandelion once the seeds are blown away. It comes from a plant. Totally fascinating! We enjoyed our one cocktail each here and just had great conversation. It was a fun night because of the company, and also because we had a little adventure going to two amazing places!

We decided on weekend brunch, especially since there were endless mimosas. Our kids have a recollection of being down the class umbrella alleyway, so they were amazed when they saw it. A short while later, we were in front of the restaurant and were quickly seated by the staff. They didn't ask if we preferred outdoor or indoor seating, but we were seated inside right next to the kitchen. We heard that indoor seating was better for service anyway. The interior of the restaurant was "very fancy," and my daughter thought we were in a date spot. We knew we wanted French fries and opted for the garlic Parmesan fries. At first, the kids were weirded out by the arugula, but my daughter ended up enjoying it, noting the bitter and salty notes. My son devoured the entire plate (not the arugula) and asked for another round. We also ordered the lemon ricotta French toast, made from Brioche bread, lemon blackberry butter, whipped lemon ricotta cream, blackberries, mint, and maple syrup. They perfected the crispy exterior, which contrasted well with the fluffy bread. My wife ordered the breakfast pizza--a focaccia pizza topped with marinara, ham, spinach, fresh tomato, red onion, a sunny-side-up egg, and herb-infused maple syrup. This was really delicious with the tart, fresh tomatoes, the salty ham, and the sweet maple syrup. I ended up eating the sunny-side egg by itself, so we didn't get to try the pizza with the egg. Lastly, I ordered the steak and eggs, but it was sadly a small portion. I ordered it medium rare, and it came out medium. The seasoning was a bit strange and would have been better with simple salt, pepper, and garlic. The mimomas really made my wife happy. She started feeling it pretty quickly. She chose the pineapple juice while I got the traditional orange. Not sure if the alcohol made the food better or the other way around. I was brought to reality when I saw the expensive bill, though.

One, I came in on a weekend lunch in the summer and there was no AC. Practically every other establishment in downtown Redlands has AC running. I had to ask the waiter about it, since it was so hot inside. On top of that, ice water wasn't served but room temp water. Two, the actual pizza was very oily. We ordered the pizza with Italian sausage and peppers, and it was a good size for two people, but when I went to fold the slice, practically half the cheese and toppings slid off. It was goopy, salty, and dripping with oil. Pizza should not be that oily. Third, our waiter asked if we wanted chili peppers on the side, and we appreciated that, but he forgot to bring them. I am not giving one star because the waiter was actually very friendly in the beginning and gave recommendations. Overall, sad to say but I wouldn't return.

I was there with my family and all the TVs were on different sports everything from hockey to Bull Riding and some MMA fights. My family and I are all practicing martial artists.

I asked my server about it and could he change one of the smaller TVs that I could see back to the fight. He left, came back and was told by his manager this was a family establishment. I'm not one to make a scene so I finished my meal, tipped my sever well as I do when they deserve it and I left a review stating my grievance on the tablet at the table as I paid my bill. The idea of it's a family establishment is bogus. I'm literally there with my family and every one of us trains BJJ and I myself train BJJ and judo and have had multiple professional fights in my younger years. My kids know this, and sometimes pull me up on YouTube to watch "Daddy fight" there's nothing virtuous about excluding one family because the unrealistic idea that another family might be offended. I was very disappointed and will not be back because I am a man of principle. I guess me and my family are just barbarians how dare we enjoy pugilistic contest. I spent a significant portion of my hard earned money to take my family there. Gas is $6 a gallon and everything is expensive, finneys needs to appreciate every customer that spends their hard earned money in their establishment. I will not be back.

I look back nostalgically at those meals, and we occasionally look for a fondue restaurant around the time of our anniversary on December 28th. We've tried the Melting Pot and Rok N Fondue in the past with some success. Being in Redlands on the 27th, we made reservations for Rok N Fondue. I was worried as their Open Table link was not working, but I left a reservation request on their phone and they were quick to text back a confirmation. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted and taken to our table. We ordered their Rok N Cheddar cheese fondue to start. It was served with cubbed bread, tortilla chips, granny smith apples, carrot, celery, and cauliflower. The cheese consistency did not seem to ever properly coalesce. We did a lot of twisting a tearing of cheese to get the provided dippers covered and out of the mix. The taste was good, but the celery and cheese was not a good mix. I ordered the chicken breast, and Robin tried the Bourbon Street - Cajun seasoned petite filet, chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage. The fondue entrees come with potatoes, mushrooms, and broccoli. The chicken was okay especially using their provided dipping sauces - Chimichurri, Teriyaki BBQ Sauce, and Sweet Chili Wasabi. The vegetables cooked up well and were tasty. Other than the precooked andouille sausage, there did not seem to be noticeable Cajun seasoning with the Bourbon Street entree. Overall a good meal, but not great. The service was attentive and friendly and the building itself is beautiful. They provided us a tasty New York Cheese Cake for our anniversary. It was a nice overall experience.

During the meal I had to repeatedly ask our server for drink refills and for extra dressing. The salad was just okay, the prime rib was dry and tough, and the pork chop was good. What I didn't enjoy was having to watch others at the table eat while waiting for my food, and then feeling rushed while eating because I was one of the last people served. No one was actually rushing me, but it's still an uncomfortable feeling. Overall, it wasn't a good experience and I won't be going back.
