Problem: Review for Bar/Scene Only: My mom says my crackface cousin (she doesn't call him that) raves about this place. My random childhood friend's boss told me I should come here to meet interesting people. I went for drinky times. I brought a City Paper with me, as I was alone and needed some entertainment. I sat at the bar for about 20 minutes, watching everyone around me get served. Two large, bald headed gentlemen sidled up and were taken care of immediately by the bartender. Still nothing in front of me. Eventually I was asked "Are you OK?" at which point I requested a drink list. Now, I don't really go in for too much mixed alcohol or sweet stuff, so I ended up just ordering a Pearl (cold-unfiltered) sake. I'm not sure what people see in this place. I mean, the bar scene is almost all large and/or old(er) people who usually happen to be bald if they possess a scrotum. I mean, that's fine, that's cool. Just not what I consider a "happening scene". Also, my bartender made me taste the sake before giving it to me. I thinke maybe he thought I didn't know what I was ordering. To be fair, I was the only one in the whole bar drinking sake, so maybe they don't sell that much of it. The food may be tasty, but I was warned that it would "give me the poops". Can't verify that though. Has anyone else noted the playing cards stuck to the ceiling? That's pretty cool. I also like the exposed pipes. It's really not so bad from a design standpoint. Just a Pittsburgh kind of place, I guess...

Problem: Valle Luna Chandler My wife and I were kid free the other night and were deciding where to go and deducted down to Valle Luna because of the lakeside setting. We got there and parked in the lot and the very first thing you see in the front parking lot is an overflowing open gated nasty dumpster with boxes and rotton food spewing out. We nearly turned around and said S@REW THIS, but we didn't. Inside we asked the host for patio seating which she said was booked; however, there was first-come-first-serve on the bar patio. Scored a ringside seat next to the lake! Yippie! I'm so gettin' some tonight with this setting. However, the ambiance was really marred by 2 things. First was the wafting of clouds of cigarette smoke lofting into our serene spot. Ewww, not to be a hypocrite as I smoked like 12 years ago..no check that cigarettes are gross. The other issue was the EXTREMELY INTOXICATED middle aged foul mouthed trashy cougar hooker seated behind us. Her and her skank girlfriend sat down about 1/2 hour after we did and she was friggin' hammered upon being seated. She later exclaimed to her friend about how she'd been drinking wine ALL DAY...yea really, you handle and hide it well. I totally shook my head as I watched the server dude take her order and thought, "Dude you're not really going to serve that sloshy puddle more booze are you?" and he did - and multiple times. Unbelievable! Where's the Liquor Board when they're needed. The other issue about the facility is the stank in the bar area. It has the aroma of a high school boys locker room. They really need to address this as it's nasty...carpet looks like it hasn't been cleaned this millennium. You can't go wrong drinking a Corona Light in this atmoshere and my wife had a Don Julio Blanca Marg Rocks that was good to. Later she prdered teh same but with a Chambord shot in it...awesome drink! My wife loves that they serve a bean dip with the chips and I thought the salsa was very tasty and chunky. I hate it when the salsa is watery thin. Chips were good ny wife said as I don't eat them. My wife had red cili enchiladas that were just ok...nothing special. I was pleased to see sea bass on the menu...yea! Ordered it but the server forgot to ask me which of the 2 sauces I wanted or about the sides. I flagged him down and told him the sauce and also said that I didn't want any rice. Food comes, there's the friggin' rice all over my plate. I'm not really picky but seriously I asked specifically for no rice and there it is and it's not like you can just push it aside as it crosses the international borders into the veggies, beans and fish sauce...forced to have a re-make. 8 minutes later and my wife is 1/2 done and here it comes back out. Looks good...taste is stone cold...what a shame as it was a good looking piece of fish. Without that lake...we would never come back.

Problem: I am a huge fan of the Light Rail. I mean, how can you really beat a $1.50 for a ride? The train cars are clean and they run just about every 7 mins during peak hours. They even have sections to store your bike if you need to. I just would like for it to travel at a faster speed. Thats all. It stops right at the Epicenter and Bobcats arena. Jackpot! PS. Im not sure if the Gold Rush Trolley falls under CATS but that is pretty sweet too. Free shuttle around uptown!! Niiiiiiiiice. -Ian M.

Problem: Just ate here for the first time on Saturday and totally loved it. Some friends had been recommending it to us, and we had seen it driving by, but it wasn't until Saturday that we actually got out there. I was totally impressed by the atmosphere (we sat outside because the weather was nice and the scenery beautiful, but there is inside seating also). I had the bacon burger and it was delicious -- can't wait to go back!
