| - I went to Dive Bar last night for dinner before a movie. I've been there once before for late night drinks, so I wanted to try their food before giving a review.
Walking in, you seat yourself and then get waited on. Service was quick and super friendly. It almost fell fake friendly but I will still take that any day over poor, unfriendly service.
The temperature inside was absolutely freezing. Having come from the frigid Temps outside my friend and I shivered through our meals. We asked if the heat could be turned up and we're told it already was, although they did try to turn it up some more.
The menu is varied with many options. I decided to try the grilled ceasar salad and added grilled portobello and shrimp for an upcharge. While they did not add on a LOT of mushrooms or shrimp, I thought their upcharge was super fair and I didn't feel slighted at all.
My friend got a fry bowl and she said it was ok but couldn't really taste the different flavors. Too much going on in the bowl.
All-in-all it was an ok experience. I would never rush to go back. There was absolutely nothing different, unique, or remotely memorable about the place. But if I was getting a pedicure next door and wanted a cocktail before or after, I MIGHT stop by.
5/5/17 - came here with a friend the other day for a burger. it was half priced burger night, and all I can say is, thank goodness because the burger was a huge disappointment. I got the Cali burger and requested medium well. the burger was described as having fresh mozzarella, avocado and sundried tomato aoli. it was so over cooked that it was crumbly, there were just 3 very small, over melted/rubbery blobs of cheese, avocado on the side, and so little sundried tomato aoli, it was lost. what bit I found had 0.0 flavor.
I would come back for the salad, but I mean, there's too many other places to go that I enjoy both the food and the atmosphere better.
