Had an amazing dinner at Four 29!…read more The oysters were fresh, the broccolini was delicious, and the New York steak with peppercorn sauce was incredibly tender and juicy--cooked perfectly medium. The cocktails were excellent, and the bar has a beautiful upscale vibe. My girlfriend ordered a Buena Vista wine that was so good I'm already looking for a bottle. Great food, great drinks, and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! Thank you Jose!

We got to the restaurant around 6:14pm and didn't get our food until about 7, which was longer than…read moreI expected especially since it was pretty empty when we arrived. There was only one waiter, and while he was really nice, he definitely seemed a bit overworked. The place itself is small but really cute, and the decor is gorgeous. The food presentation was great, but my chicken ended up being a little dry. Everything tasted good overall, but for the price, I was hoping for a bit more depth and complexity. I thought about getting dessert, but honestly didn't want to wait that long again since it was already getting late. Also, the Riesling wasn't my favorite, they only had a sweeter one, and I usually prefer dry. Not a bad spot by any means, but probably not somewhere I'd go back to especially if I'm really hungry lol. I'd give it a solid 4/5, mainly because of the wait time and the dry chicken.

What a neat find at Haven City Market! Located adjacent to Native Son, Raffael's is a step into a…read moreSouthwestern vibe where guests can relax with their drinks away from the lively atmosphere of HCM. One of the coolest things about a speakeasy is the transition into the space. Here, there's a walkway and corner, then turn into the candle and subtle lit space. It's a small thing? But that bit of walk helps distance the mind and feel open to the special space. There is a bar with seating, a long high top, and bench & table booth-ish type seating. The colors are warm, reminiscent of sitting in a western sunset. Music plays - jazzy, alternative, happy music. We were greeted and seated by the friendly hostess, then welcomed warmly by the magic maker himself: the bartender! And what delightfully unique, and dare I say daring, concoctions he made! The cocktails each had a spin, an ingredient, something *different* from the norm, making it challenging for my friend and I to narrow down which delights to try! Even the popcorn was unique, with chili and nutritional yeast savoriness that was the perfect complement to our cocktails. My friend felt the Silver Cloud was quite the adult version of a smoothie dessert! She got ideas...I adored my Last Word. It was refreshing with the green chartreuse and incredibly not-put-down-able. Next up, she had the Bandolier. It was a very unique taste to her, pretty puckery, so the bartender - who checked on us regularly for impressions - added a bit more pineapple. That did the trick! My next was the Boulevardier, which was uniquely and deliciously twisted with the coffee and salt. Absolute yum!!! Even though there's a 90 minute limit, on this Thursday night there was plenty of space between imbibers, and we weren't pressured in any way to move along. Thank you, as we were due for a proper catch up. One thing we did notice, is that once there were more folks chatting and laughing, it became a bit echo-y and harder to hear. On a busier night, I imagine the ambience we first experienced- quieter, mellow, chill vibe - likely changes to more robust and lively. Either way, this place is a feels-far-away retreat worth "traveling" to.

From the reviews I had really high expectation for this place. Its in the corner by Native Sons…read more You sign in at the podium. They dont allow any food to be brought in which is crazy because you are in a food hall. So plan accordingly. They do serve unlimited amounts of their popcorn which tasted pretty good. They have some heat to them!! This is like an Arizona or Mew Mexo themed type speakeasy. I love their decor. With the fireplace and the animal skulls and animal skins everywhere. I just love how it looked. Theres an exit to the outside patio area which is nice, since this place stays open longer than most of the shops in Haven City. Only problem is if theyre playing music outside, every time the door opens it is so loud!! Like annoyingly blow my ear drums loud. Their drinks are very southwest themed. They have a lot of drink options to choose from. We ordered their blue sky and silver cloud. Presentation looked pretty. But the drinks were not that great. I had their silver cloud which had a mango foam on top. Tasted great, till you mixed it into the drink. The drink was way to smokey. It was so smokey it was almost bitter. I get a little smoke. But it was way too much. Any notes of mango or fruit or sweetness was lost in the smoke. The blue sky looked pretty. But after having a sip of the silver cloud it killed my taste buds. I couldn't taste anything in the blue sky. After our first round of drinks we were done. Had to go home and make myself an extremely sweet drink to get my taste buds back..... its a great concept. The price point is reasonable. 16 dollars for each drink. I do love the decor. But the vibes from the outside is distracting. If your into mezcals and smokey drinks this place is for you. But it unfortunately was not my cup of tea.

I visited on Sunday night and surprisingly there was no wait and we got sat immediately…read more I've come a few times before so this spot is one of my favorites. I was sad to see they took the market jambalaya off the menu so I tried the blackened chicken and it was really good. Drinks were great. They have such a massive selection of drinks.

My family and I were invited to a 50th birthday party at this restaurant/bar…read more The event was held in the large, outdoor patio to the rear of the location. Over one hundred guests attended the party. The entire event and experience were fun and memorable. The bar area and the outdoor patio were vast, clean, and well-maintained. The outdoor area offered guests cabana-like seating with very comfortable padded chairs, as well as bar-like tables. Employees were very hard-working, friendly, and super nice. The food, which consisted of salad, lasagna, and pizza, was EXCELLENT!! And full of flavor. The adult beverages were well-made and easily available from the waiters and waitresses. This was a GREAT event.

The pizza here was delicious. We ordered the Zio, featuring pepperoni, basil, and hot honey--the…read moreflavors were spot on, and the crust had that perfect balance of chew and crunch. If I were rating on food alone, this would be a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The atmosphere was great, featuring a cute bar up front and a large, comfortable back patio. We caught a live set by Zone Trooper Charlie, who played a fantastic two-hour gig outside. While most seating is comfortable, some of the plastic wicker-style chairs could be improved. This service--or lack there of--is where the experience fell short. While the staff was friendly, they were clearly overwhelmed by the Friday night crowd. The salad never arrived, we waited 30 minutes for water, and we had to hunt down our pizza after 45 minutes because it was never delivered to the table. Additionally, the beer list was IPA-heavy with few other options. The owner seemed genuinely nice and was walking the floor checking on guests. I hope people provide honest feedback so they can iterate to success. It's a good spot with good pizza--they just need to dial in the logistics to match the quality of the kitchen.

I'm not a super wine lover but I take a sip every now and again so it was nice to get a few words of advisement before I selected a glass to try. My husband and I each tried a glass which we enjoyed. It was nice to just sit outside and take a sip of wine. Anyway, my husband said he'd definitely go back. I would too if they are hosting an event that I'd like to go to.

Was craving Italian food and picked this place on a whim. It is located in downtown Upland so…read moreparking can be challenging, depending on the time and day. I went for dinner on Wednesday so the restaurant wasn't packed. As soon as you walk in you get git with that Italian restaurant smell (idk how else to describe it) so I was hopeful that it would be good. The restaurant is dimly lit so it creates an intimate atmosphere. Very cozy. Our server was friendly and helped me choose between two dishes I wanted. We started with bread service which includes a few different styles of bread along with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. For my entree I went with the clam linguine. It comes with chopped clams, garlic in a white wine sauce and also has a few whole clams in shell. It was so good. It was very "seafoody" which was just what I was craving. I also got to taste the carbonara, which was also very tasty. It had plenty of pancetta and the sauce was rich. Overall a good experience.
