Let me tell you about our experience. If you don't have time, I'll recap: bad experience with confusions of servers, so delicious food I dreamed of it.
Here the long form: We walked in and were pretty much ignored for the first three minutes. We were then told to sit anywhere and it took nearly 10 min to get 4 waters. If my company wouldn't have asked another 10 min later if we can finally order drinks, we'd probably still be waiting. It needed 3 servers to tell us which beer is on tap and also took 5 more minutes to figure it out themselves. Extremely chaotic start! We were brought nuts as a little snack which was nice. We ordered food and a server had to come back to ask a question they forgot to ask. The good took pretty long to prepare and bring out even though it wasn't busy yet. Once the food was brought out, half of our party had to wait almost 15 more minutes until they finally received their food which seemed like very poor planning. Now to the good part: the food and drinks were so f*cking delicious, you could've almost forgotten about all the stress in the beginning. Seriously delicious and would consider to come back despite the service. A shot was gifted to us before leaving which we appreciated and took as an apology for all the stress. I like when people make up for stuff like that, not gonna lie 🤣 the servers were super nice though, it was just a lot at once for us.
Now additional information:
Parking is plenty, recommend to park behind Luky Luke's in the public parking lot. They had ONE VEGAN OPTION which I almost went for cause it sounded delicious so, if you're vegan and in the mood for an indian inspired dish, you could go without worry about only getting three carrots and one black bean. They have a pretty small and selective menu but due to the extreme quality you'll get, I understand and appreciate that. It's a little bit pricey but very worth it (food $14-25ish a person, drinks $8/+15ish a person) as in comparison to other bars and restaurants around the boulevard who charge the same but are not worth it! The amount of food is generous as well so, even more worth it.
I hope this helped, I'm happy to answer any questions. Here's a quick picture of my drool-icious salad! (Sorry, bad jokes slip in...
Read moreWent for the first time to a "Tiki Takeover" on Saturday evening. Cover charge $10 pp was reasonable. Outdoor seating was very limited, I cannot begin to express how frustrating that would be to pay and not even have a seat. We managed a 2 top table - if we were even 10 minutes later, we would have been standing- we asked if we could get an additional chair for a friend who came later and was told they would work on it but that never happened. About 20 people were left standing. Entertainment was 10/10. I told our waitress I do not est onions or anything with onions, and she said we can ask for it without onions. I said great and if they cannot accommodate that, I would order something else. We ate hawaiian sliders and fries - excellent 10/10; shrimp and pineapple skewers -8/10 shrimp didn't taste fresh at all, but the sauce was delicious. I was considering their lemon dessert. The problem with food was with the Hot Honey pizza I ordered around 8/8:30 - there was still good daylight when I ordered so likely closer to 8. Long story short, I ended up asking to cancel the pizza and settle my tab at 9:50. Waitress brings out my tab and the pizza boxed at 9:53. She tells me she just charged me $10 (took $ 7 off the bill). I came home and the pizza has long strips of onion throughout. I ended up throwing it out. What could have been a fun night was one with frustrations. Our whole tab was $70.33 which isn't too bad, IF I JUST HADN'T ORDERED THAT BLASTED PIZZA OF...
Read moreLike the other reviewer said, (btw I cannot believe there's only been one review!) Zelda's has an inviting ambient atmosphere. Somehow, we stumbled upon these eccentric looking doors off of Lancaster Blvd during the Thursday Farmers Market, and these huge doors opened up into what we would call a James Bond movie scene from the 30's-40's era. The Art Deco design with a large back lit water wall feature led us to a live electric guitarist with a jazzy type mellow vibey seductive sound.. The decor is what drew us in, and it was the music that kept us here. Walking through this outdoor patio we opened another set of double doors to what defined this establishment as a bar lounge, with few appetizers, local craft beers on draft, and a large array of mixed drinks available. We are now sitting outside in the soon to be summer weather, with our draft beers, and a large cheese and meat tray (enough for 2-3 people) and wondering 1. How have we ever missed this wonderful place, after all of the Blvd. Farmers Market visits and 2. When will we plan our next visit, more than likely on a hot summer weekend night in the very near future! In closing.. If you want a great place to bring your first date, or have a romantic night out with your significant other, with live music and the ability to converse without yelling, this should be on your list, may I suggest at the top? And say hi to Nate the bartender; He's very conversational, yet doesn't forget a...
