9. Armistice Brewing Company

I can't review Armistice's food. I had heard about their beer from a nearby Mexican restaurant.A patron waiting for his order asked me what kind of suds I liked, and recommended "Grunt" (Per their website: "English Bitter: Brewed with locally grown and malted malts from Admiral Maltings, in Alameda, CA. 4.8% ABV"). They filled and capped a 2-pint can for me to take home (Don't drink and drive!).I can testify, now safely at home -- (1) that's a LOT of beer!* and (2) it is a great brew!! NOT bitter, contrary to description. Very smooth and tasty.___________________* I laboriously poured about 12 ounces into an empty water bottle that I could seal securely (we'll see how that works). My wife and I unevenly split the rest.

Located in a new strip mall, La Lupita is very new and clean looking with interesting wall art. The staff is very friendly and solicitous. However, the food was not very good. (Maybe because it was a Sunday evening.) When evaluating Mexican food, the "gold standard" for my wife and myself is carnitas. My wife ordered the carnitas tacos and I ordered the carnitas super burrito. Unfortunately, the carnitas were dry and tasteless. Interestingly, on the wall were taped pieces of paper and a white board with East Indian food items listed. Apparently, there is an East Indian connection to this restaurant, but we could not find out due to the language issue. We will not return.
7. Romano's Macaroni Grill

Reviewed By R H
Family meal, kids menu ok, and they enjoyed it. Adult menu lots of choices, Chicken parm really nice, lasagna good, Alfredo fettuccine I ate one bite, it was underwhelming. Lobster bisque, so-so, lobster ravioli good, the baby asparagus, best bite of the night. Calamari, was very good first time I actually liked it, and both dipping sauces were really good, That all said it was just average. Service was very good, but the coloring on the table, not so good, teaching kids to right on things is just the opposite, of what we teach at home, we looked up and my point was made for me someone has already colored all over the wall behind us, and I could just see the kids going but we could color at the restaurant. Atmosphere was ok with the exception it was quite loud, a bit to loud for me.

Brew Pub with oven fired pizza and a variety of other food
Reviewed By Arotake
Late lunch as a family on a Saturday. Nice feel to the place especially outside. Good range of beers for an American restaurant/bar. Service is pretty good but food itself only very average. The Caesar Salad and the wedges were poor but the pizzas were good. So, OK just overall.

4. Rialto Cinemas
Reviewed By Jim B
This is one great local cinema. You can see a movie while having a hamburger and a beer delivered right to your seat. The food at the Rialto is pretty good. Not gourmet, but definitely better than your average McDonald's/Burger King variety. Pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries; that sort of fare. The movies are first run and on selected occasions they rebroadcast current shows from the National Theater of London. This is a great place to spend an evening.

Went here for the first time with no expectations. It was a fun and lively place. Very friendly and efficient service and good food. The menu is interesting. We only had an entree salad which was excellent. My friend had a beer which she said was very good. I really liked the local feeling. Will definitely return.
