(There was a surprise party going on and when they came pouring out of the back room to take over the front it got to be a few too many people for me.) I don't get to make it to as many Yelp events as I would like because of my work schedule, but if you're trying to decide how to prioritize - libations and vibrations is the way to go.

It's perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date where you want something a little different.

I really enjoyed mingling with other Yelpers and playing games together. Thank you Oche and Janice.

We get to play shuffle boards and digital darts. The sway was a Yelp-branded bubble blower. The All-Stars get a choice of a Yelp-branded tumbler or a Yelp-branded star-shaped water bottle. Thanks Oche and Janice of Yelp Toronto for this opportunity. There was popcorn on each table at the very beginning. There is free WiFi. The place is not wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-217

It was exciting to be a part of this event. Big thanks! We've been to Stack Burger twice before and…read moreenjoyed the experience both times. The Yelp perk was very generous. A burger, small fries and a milkshake was offered. How fun is that?! My choice of pistachio milkshake came first to the table. We couldn't resist and finished it before even thinking it was supposed to be a dessert. It was delicious - the best part of our meal. My Yelper Burger was topped with Stuck Sauce, cheese, and egg. Homemade salsa verde came on the side. It was good only because I like eggs in general. I should have added some salt, but the salsa spiced everything a little. I'm not sure what was wrong with the fries. It tasted like my home kitchen fiasco when I tried to make a healthier version using an air fryer. Unfortunately, the fries were dry and shriveled without much flavor. The whole experience would have been much nicer, if my partner's order wasn't screwed up. Also, his favorite burger was a lame version of what he got twice before -- a big disappointment. I didn't see the owner at the time of our visit. Something has definitely changed for the worse since our first visit. It's a very casual place and the main focus should be on the food and its quality. Come on Stack Burger! Don't let all the awards for best burger be just history.

Anthony, I believe one of the owners took care of us who was friendly made us all feel welcome, explained are available choices and more about the restaurant and how the Demon burger won at Taste of Buffalo. My choice was the Salsa Verdae burger which was unique with ingredients and flavor. My small chocolate milkshake was creamy, not to thick. The fries were average, little cold, and too spicy for my taste. Overall everything else tasted great Thanks Stack Burger, and our former CM Alex for setting this up as his last Elite Week perk prior to moving to Long Beach, CA .

Hands down one of the best I had, not sure what sauce was added to the handroll, but it elevated the tastee. Then, I had the homemade ginger ale, it wasn't tooo sweet, had a good punch of ginger flavor, and I liked it. Now, let us talk about the service. The server was friendly. I honestly could not tell the ingredients of the dish based on the name of the dish (I wasn't too familiar), so I asked the server. He was helpful explaining which dish had pork, chicken, etc. As for the atmosphere, it is modern and sleek, with a cozy vibe that is perfect for a date night out or social gatherings with friends. I loved watching the chefs work their magic in the open kitchen. And, bonus, it is super accessible by public transit. It was just a 5 minute walk from the college station. I am grateful for the complementary meal; I made sure to leave a generous tip because, well, great service deserves it. Also, it was lovely to meet fellow yelpers at the place. Thank you Yelp for the chopsticks and thank you to Yelp and Afuri Ramen for this opportunity. Overall, I am coming back here. I would like to try out the mini spicy tori karaage, and the tonkotsu tantan Ramen bowl.

Thank you Yelp for introducing me to another awesome restaurant! Toronto has no shortage of great…read moreramen, but this is definitely on my list of to-go's now. The salmon poke taco was a fantastic start to the meal, tangy and crunchy and absolute stirring up my appetite. I also couldn't resist the crispy ramen eggs after reading the rave reviews, and they were indeed excellent - the combination of runny egg yolk and fried outer layer was on point. However, the highlight of the meal was certainly the hazelnut tantan ramen. What a unique vegan offering! The nutty, creamy taste was offset perfectly by the sharp spiciness of the broth, delivering a flavour bomb. Despite the dish being on the edge of my spice tolerance, I savoured every last drop (albeit very slowly). I chose an off-peak time of just past 11am to arrive, but I can see how the seating can get a bit tight when the space is full (particularly at the long table). The waitress was SO sweet, and food arrived extremely quickly. That being said, I only saw one staff serving the entire place, so I'm not sure how they would deal with a restaurant full of customers. I think the prices are a little on the more expensive side, but I would still drop by for a revisit when I crave that specific ramen again!

Thanks to Yelp Rochester for the 2019 Maker Faire tickets! I have seen advertisements for this…read moreevent in the past and always thought it looked interesting, so I was really excited to check it out this year. I didn't realize that Maker Faires are a worldwide event. The Rochester Faire featured a ton of local businesses, interest groups, colleges, and more. The Riverside Convention Center was the perfect place, as you could walk through the various rooms and hallways to take in all of the booths without it being too crowded. I mean, it was definitely full of people, but the large space made it more manageable to move around. There was food for sale and many of the vendors were also selling some of their works. I had a great time taking everything in! There were so many different creative things to see, from a puppeteer to robotics groups. My favorite was Save Zigby, which was an escape game created by a 4th grader. It was neat to see so many kids running around and engaging in STEM activities. This was a really fun event and great for families and solo visitors like me. I will definitely return next year!

First of all, thanks to Yelp for the tickets! I was unaware of this event until I saw it on Yelp…read moreEvents. As Stanley M. reviewed, it is "a science fair on steroids" is the best description! It was our first time here and there was LOTS to see and do for all ages. Two floors of different stations displaying electronics, robotics, inventions, and all creative and techy things. There were defined areas on the map provided to us that were for kids. Our 3 y/o was glued to the main entrance area at the hands-on tables. We stayed longer than anticipated because there were so many things to check out and thankful of the food trucks parked outside the convention center for a quick lunch. Later on we found a small food area in the back of the first floor, but didn't know until we made our way back there. I suggest leaving the big stroller at home and using a carrier for little ones. Try to get there early for this family friendly event so your kids get a chance at the hands-on stations. I anticipate this event will only get bigger each year!

This festival truly has something for everyone! The performance art ranges from music, to plays,…read moreart exhibits, dance, acrobatics, and comedy. These events can take place all across the city of Rochester, as there are many different experiences over the course of the festival. I've seen impressive large scale performances at the fringe festival such as a performance by Bandaloop on the side of five star city bank. I've also seen modernized Shakespeare as well as Drunk Shakespeare (Shotspeare). All of these experiences were top notch. I'd highly recommend attending at least one event each year! Check out the festival schedule early to grab your tickets for headliners before they sell out!

Mangia & Bevi has this nice and cozy vibe and it is a perfect venue for a gathering of new and old Yelpers and have a sample of what they offers. Since there were so many first time attendants and the lack of communication, I believed a lot of people came here expect to have a "brunch'. As an experienced YEE attendant myself, I do know that 90% of YEE is more about socializing with peers and sampling what our host offers. I had chicken and waffle at Cluck Cluck and dessert at Neo before attending this event. As I did not really have a chance to get near any food, aside from this one mouthful of nutella pizza sample. Teresa C also nice enough to offer me a spoonful of quiche which I was really thankful. I kind of feeling sorry for Mangi & Bevi's waitstaff when everyone trying to attack them for food. Ended up they just leave it on the 2 big tables and just let hungry yelpers fought it out. It was a mob scene. I hope moving forward we can all learn from this experience and organize future event accordingly. Good thing was there was never any line at the drink station. I ended up just drinking glasses of "juice" and chilling out with new and old friends near the bar area. Hoarding the pitcher of drinks and boxing out others....

4 Stars for the venue and event but sadly 2 Stars for the other Yelpers…read more The first YEE kicked off for 2016 in a restaurant where I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at. It's located in office building and I was thinking whaaaaat?! No good could come of this! Did they want us to secretly photocopy some stuff on the side?! Well when I entered the space I was amazed - it's so gorgeous inside! Definitely my design aesthetic- exposed brick walls, dark and sexy lighting, gorgeous light fixtures- I was in home decor throws of ecstasy! Lovely drinks to start off the mingling and put you in a good mood....cuz you'd need it in a few minutes....just wait for it... Sadly I'm not sure what animals some of these people were raised by but I'm pretty sure this restaurant will never host a Yelp event again. It was like people hadn't eaten for days the way they attacked the food! Scavengers! Following the servers around with a hunger in their eyes that I've only ever seen on The Walking Dead. I only managed to try some blueberry dessert thing and the quiche...and only b/c another kind yelper gave me one of his! I was too scared to try and even attempt to forge my way in to get anything- i didn't want people mistaking my hands for chicken fingers!! I needed my hands to drive home later. A pack of hungry wolves was surely disappointing to me and my plus one, but at the same time we also got to see a horror show....so maybe it was a win? Great job Chantal and Kris for picking this restaurant as I would probably never have gone to it on my own. It was a great event regardless of the vultures circling about.
