Value (5.6 out of 10)
mentioned by 17% of the guests

Mixed Feelings: Good Food, Bad Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of good and bad. For the 49er game, it was a great place to be. The food was great, though the mushroom burger was a bit small 🤔.
However, my experience with the gambling at the bar was disappointing. I lost $50 and they couldn't even comp me 1 beer 👎. It felt a bit greedy, as they told me I needed to spin $1.
25. I'll be going to other places that aren't as greedy. I used to go there often, but I'm moving on 💪.
