Although it was me & another girl at the bar, I didn't feel uncomfortable, just disappointed that it wasn't more diverse seeing how Bloomingdale is pretty diverse (for the most part). I like that there are more options in the neighborhood & will probably go back, but my concern is that the pricing is a bit much. The service was fine, the atmosphere was fine, I just hope we continue to get options that EVERYONE can enjoy safely & responsibly. If there isa forum or place to go to advocate for more options & our neighborhood, please let us know.

It's cute an all, but a bit pricey for a neighborhood spot. All I got was a glass of wine ($5.00) and a pizza ($9.00) after tax & tip, I ended up spending $18+ which sucks during happy hour pricing. The food was good, but the prices can be better. The location good, but I can go to Ella's during HH, and spend $10.00 for the same thing!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-49161033590573261842010-10-07T13:53:27.261-04:002010-10-07T13:53:27.261-04:00And that I agree with!

I am a black male and I was in there with another black male.<br /><br />The staff, which was about 7-8 people, all seemed to be looking at us like "When will they leave!?", immediately as we sat down. They continued to peer at us the entire time. <br /><br />I do not think I will be back.<br /><br />On another note, they didn't have Heineken, Stella, or anything of that nature.

I "thought" my comment was informative. Anyhow, a Totino's pizza is like a personal pan pizza, here's a link: http://www.totinos.com/products.aspx. As far as the person commenting on my tipping, well I apologize for being a cheap ass, if that's what you truly think. However, as the person above states, it is almost a 19% tip. I usually leave a %20 tip, but I didn't have a drink, and it was carry-out, since there were no seats available. So in all, I gave the guy a $3 tip when I really didn't need to. It's like going to Pizza Hut for carry-out and tipping. Anyhow, the place is still great. I've been back since, and actually got a seat this time at the bar. I plan on frequenting this place a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-63509156924641551242010-09-28T16:22:48.523-04:002010-09-28T16:22:48.523-04:00You only tipped 3 bucks?

Which wouldn't be bad had I not paid $16 and some change for it (I added two toppings at $2 a piece). I didn't mind that the toppings were $2 extra, that's the norm. However, I was expecting a pizza bigger than the one I got. After leaving a $3 tip, my bill was close to $20, and I was still hungry. Anyhow, if I had to have a complaint, that would be it, oh and that I wish it was bigger. Overall, this place is just what the doctored ordered, and I will continue to go there. A restaurant/bar is long overdue in this area. I'll just make sure that I don't go there hungry in the future :-). <br /><br />p.s. I didn't make it in time, but they have happy hour prices from 4-7 EVERYDAY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17267242.post-31718472418252358742010-09-26T06:46:20.412-04:002010-09-26T06:46:20.412-04:00Two words to describe the food: AWE SOME!!!
