Hungry Like the Wolf … and Latin Cabaret Rock Opera!

What's New 16 Oct 2014
It was another AMAZE show today! This time I had my first encounter with the Big Good Wolf named Damu. He was absolutely ADORBS and so chill. (Although he did try to eat my microphone.)

Funiculì, Funiculà, Funiculì, Funiculà!!!

Elvis Karaoke with George Lopez

What's New 22 Aug 2014
Hey, hound dogs! Other than sumo wrestlers and woof woofs, there's nothing that puts a bigger smile on my face than belting it out with a buncha Elvii (while wearing the the most ridiculous wig ever). Throw in George Lopez and it really doesn't get much better than that.

Hot New Pick: Barton G

What's New 12 Aug 2014
It's been open for about a month and already Barton G is making quite a scene. Of all the hundreds of restaurants I've visited, I think this is the only one where people actually get out of their seats and take pictures of other people's meals and it's totally OK, expected even. It's social dining at its best.
