    Amazing venue for a concert! Small and intimate (at least compared to Northern California venues!) There's even a great view from the bar area!

    Came for the Gospel Brunch, which is a really nice splurge, since you get entertainment and unlimited mimosas. Go back early and often for seconds and thirds.
