My dad alway said if you cant say something nice… but I think this place is one of the most mis-managed places out there, I mean I have seen worse, but this is one of the top 20 places where things will go wrong. I wish it wasnt the case, cause the place looks nice, and sometimes there may be a good vibe going on, but everyone I know that goes comes back with a horror story. I myself had my bday screwed up where they ran out of Amstel Light, and some vodka what place that sells liquor runs out of it before the middle of the night. Girls I know also complained about there only being 2 bathrooms in the entire place, and this includes the gents washroom. Its a pity cause the place did have potential. The only thing that can probably save them is the pizza, the pizzaman can make 1 hell of a pie, but its never open on time to serve anyone, so if your lucky enough to give them business, you can try that out.

Design: Beautiful décor. Soft setting. A real knockout. Dinner: Really delicious menu and the pizza is amazing(although the oven looks really stupid behind the bar)! Minus a star for the fact that the waiter didn’t warn myself or my date that gratuity was included and I tipped(scumbag)! Since when is tip included with a party of two? Straight grimey tactics! Nightlife: If you could call it that. I really never had a good time during the parties here. Underage crowd, music was not pleasing, and I once busted my ass on the«dance floor» cuz it was all wet(that part was hilarious though)! I’d say try it once for dinner, even twice. However, don’t count on it for a party.

I went here last summer and I only stayed for about half an hour. I ended up checking another place out. The place itself wasn’t bad. I just didn’t like the crowd. At first, it was just the ppl on line but when I walked in… it was even worse. It just didn’t seem classy enough for me. Maybe it was the night I went. Honestly, ppl looked cheap and under dressed. They kinda looked like bums. I dunno, maybe it was just me. A friend had a party here last Friday night and they all seemed to have fun. I don’t really know the details but it might have changed. I guess it all depends on the night. If you’re a hookah fan, then this is the place for you. I’ve never tried the restaurant though, someday. If the place didn’t look decent, I’d only give it 1 star.

I went to the vivacious«Via» for a birthday party last weekend. From the bongo player to the carnival dancer to the hookahs to the upstairs VIP room swathed in brightly colored fabrics, everything at Via that night was hot and«spicy.» I’m not sure what it’s like on a regular night, but I’d definitely keep it in mind for parties.

I was here one day for a business event. This is a bistro dining & nightlife experience. There is the mezzanine level with plush burgundy couches and soft leather walls with candles surrounding giving it a soft touch. On the menu has a mix of 30 different kinds of brick oven pizzas, calzones, southern Italian style pasta & entrees. If dessert is what you crave, you must try their chocolate calzone. I know you’re probably thinking what? It’s a hazelnut flavored chocolate stuffed calzone served with fresh berries along with home made whipped cream. Don’t knock it, till you try it. Late night comes, DJ will spin the hits, sip your drinks, single ready to mingle. Lol Drinks are fairly priced, must try their Blu– Raspberry Mojito. No cover charge if you only want to chill at Via.
