This was a fun race. The obstacles weren't tough and geared towards fun rather than challenge. The course was well designed. My competitive side wished there was a way to see how I compared to others in my wave and age group. I didn't see a ton of vendors which was nice because corporate America hasn't taken this event over like warrior dash. It would have been nice to gotten a free beer at the end of the race though.

4/16/14 - Quick update: received a note from BSBC management addressing the problems - they're genuinely interested in making things better, so I'll be back soon to give them another shot. Take this review for what it is, and expect an update soon. So.... I've been back a few times since my first visit on 2/2/14. I'm sad to say that things aren't as rosy as they were a few months ago. - The bar service is *terrible* - it takes *FOREVER* to get anyone's attention, let alone a drink. The bartenders are friendly - it's just that there aren't enough of them, and they're not terribly efficient. - On my last visit, I ordered (at the suggestion of our server) the "chocolate macadamia nut donut." Our server said that this donut was "amazing" and "unreal." What comes to mind when you hear the words, "macadamia, donut, chocolate, amazing, and unreal?" I'll give you a second.... now - cold splash of reality - did you picture a semi-stale raised donut with dried chocolate glaze and 4 - count them, four- dried-out macadamia nuts on top? Well, that's what you'll get. - The egg dishes have become over-cooked, dried-out, bland shells of what they previously were. The Chilaquiles were previously bursting with crisp chips and an awesomely smoky guajillo sauce. The last visit presented us with soggy, grease-laden chips and nary a sign of the guajillo sauce. Our server apologized for it, and brought a tin of salsa to help add flavor. :-( - The bloody mary's are meh. Man, they were so good not that long ago... now they're watery, boring, and unexciting. The extra spicy version is acceptable, but you have to remember to ask for it. - Parking... it's not really under their control or their fault, but - the ramp is *always* full, so you're left to hunt around for a parking spot. To compound the challenge, during my last two visits, the "FULL" indicator didn't work on the ramp, so you were enticed to approach the gate, only to discover that it was full via the little ticket dispenser. By then, another car would inevitably pull-in behind you, so you had to do that awkward hand-wave thing to show that the ramp was full and try to get the other guy to back-up to let you work your way out of the entrance... grr. I'm afraid this place has fallen victim to success. It seems like they're *soooo* slammed on the weekends that they simply can't keep up. Severe lack of seating, super slow bar service, crummy donuts, slow table service (although the servers are super friendly), and lackluster food... Top it off with the fact that our 4-top's recent brunch bill totaled $81, and I'm left scratching my head. Oh - also, that $81 didn't include a $27 bar bill that we incurred while waiting for our table. All prices were pre-tip... for $108 before tip (for four), I'd expect *much* better. *sigh* It's such a cool spot and a great idea. I hope it turns back up.

They broke almost as much as they fixed. Had my Honda in to fix a power steering pump. They fixed it,and a motor mount they claimed was broken, but when I got the car back it made a scraping sound whenever it hit a mild bump. That noise was not there before. Now they say it might be the front struts. They gave an estimate of $900 to fix something they broke. Called national Honda, but no help there. I am not going to pay them to fix something they broke, as that only rewards incompetence.

I love Toyama with all my heart & soul. The food here never disappoints me (possibly because I always get the same thing). The food is reasonably priced and you get a great helping of food, I usually split my meal up in order to finish it all. It is very busy around lunchtime and closing time at night. Only reason I am not giving five stars is because it is a small restaurant, so when waiting for your take out order it is very awkward finding somewhere to stand.
