This was a one time experience. Restaurant is on the side of a bar. Decor is ok, you get the vague feeling of entering a small village near the ocean...Was seated by a very nice hostess, waiter brought salsa/chips. Salsa is tasty/warm, chips stale. Order very simple combo dinners, tacos/tamales, cheese enchalada/chile rellano. Waiter screwed second order up presented me w/ enchalada/tamale. He corrected his mistake,but took him 10 min, served me the same rice/beans on the original plate. Tamales not home made, came from a box of tamales, that you could buy at Costco or Sam's. So on that note we decided this was not a place we wanted to eat

Was excited to go see the drive in movies tonight but there are a few things that will keep me from going again. The positives: inexpensive, comfy in the car, wore my jammies, took our own snacks and drinks, and fairly good sound system with the radio. The negatives: --if your car rides low, look out - if you don't angle it right trying to find your spot to watch the movie, your car will scrape the hills and grades. YIKES. Cars were traversing to not scrape the underside of the car. You can see where cars have leveled the tops of those mounds and ridges. Nerve-wracking to say the least. --we also were a little confused if we were in the right movie. Our movie didn't have barrels with the number to let us know we were in the right place. --the popcorn was cold and stale and tasteless. --not the best movie screen or quality. --very confusing how to get out of the place when the movie is over. There were no exit signs. Cars were just turning around and driving back up the mounds and hills. --mainly I was afraid we were going to damage the underside of the car. If you have your lights on, the shadow makes the hills and mounds seem steeper. Some mounds are steeper than others. The cheap price is not worth worrying about all that. I grew up going to drive in movies and have been them in different cities and states. None had that horrible drive trying to find your spot or when leaving.

I've been here twice now, it used to be Pug Mahone's. They have a nice selection of craft beers and they've done a reasonably nice job with the interior. The low rating comes from my experience on my second visit. Wanting a late-afternoon burger, I sauntered over to Baldwin St. Grille. Upon entering I noticed immediately that it was quite cold, maybe 55 degrees and that the place reeked of smoke from the wood stove. This is not what you want on a cold and clammy April day. I sat down at the bar and noticed that everybody in the place was fixated on a soccer match, blaring from two large screen televisions, and that they all seemed to be somehow buddies with the owner. I got no service until the owner directed the bartender to help me. I ordered the special, the black and blue burger and fries. The burger was absolutely excellent. I can't complain about the food, but the cold was really getting to me and I was completely put off by the clubby atmosphere. I felt very much like an outsider in some other guy's basement. No one ever asked me how the food was, if I wanted anything else or if I wanted a second beer. When I finally decided it was time to go, the bartender was busy dawdling at the other end of the bar, paging through a catalog and futzing with some other thing. I would say that the experience was definitely one of the least professional restaurant serving/bartending experiences I've had and that the bizarrely cold, clubby, dark and oddly smoky atmosphere will keep me from going back again unless someone drags me there.

Good: 1. Food is pretty good. 2. Prices are reasonable for Indian food. 3. Good service. Bad: 1. If you get there at a certain time they will make you wait until that time's menu is available. I'm not a fan of Indian food. My tongue cannot handle the spiciness this food typically contains. However, I was in Vegas and this town is about leaving your ol' self at home and trying new experiences. So, I walked in to the restaurant and they were celebrating an event. They server told me that I had to wait 'til 10 pm to place my order. I waited patiently, and one of the owners came over and apologized. He went ahead and took my order. I tend not to eat fish anywhere, so he recommended the Old Delhi style corn fed chicken tikka makhani prepared with ground spices and fenugreek flavoured tomato makhani sauce, served with pulao rice. I took it to go. When I got back to my hotel room. I seriously prayed it would not be too spicy. I grabbed a spoon and went for taste: Ummm, not bad. Hot ,but not... wait, crap, spiciness coming in... where's the rice? Found it! oh! yeah... that's better. Not bad. Ok, let's continue. So, it was basically like this for the rest of the meal; 1 or 2 spoonfuls of Old Delhi chicken and rice. Overall, I would def. come here again. It is the only place I've found myself liking the food. I've gone all over the world trying Indian food, except India.
