Great Atmosphere for Sand Volleyball
I recently started my first sand volleyball league here and the atmosphere is unlike any other in the area! They have a very nice setup. You can watch the games courtside or up on the patio.
The only issue can be trying to find parking, but I bike there so it is not an inconvenience for me.

Overcooked Pizza, Big Disappointment
I remember this place use to have really good pizza, but my recent experience on Friday was disappointing. I ordered their buffalo chicken pizza, and it was overcooked and under sauced, making it super dry. For $23, I definitely didn't feel it was worth the price for a 12-inch pizza.
Usually, I enjoy leftovers for the week, but I only managed to eat two pieces at the restaurant before tossing the rest, knowing I wouldn't eat it later. It felt like a total waste of money. Perhaps I visited on an off day, but given the cost, I wouldn't risk it again as the pizza is not cheap here.
