Given the company's other ventures, odds are the music is really loud.

Judging by these establishments, safe to also assume heavy use of institutional mayonaise coupled and "everything is better with extra garlic, right?" - sort of a TGIFridays for the 21st Century.

Looks like they are trying to lure in ironic hipsters that can't cook.
The misuse of the word "kobe" is my new pet peeve. There is no way meatballs made of REAL Kobe would be just $17. Its probably beef from Wagyu cattle in the US.
From the web:
Kobe beef is beef made from cows that are fed a diet enriched with beer and massaged lovingly by attendants in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. Japanese Kobe Beef is well marbled and very tender. The attention and time given to the cows is said to produce the best beef and gives Kobe beef a high cost. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_beef

kobe or wagyu, why would you turn it into a meatball. Just like Presidio Social Club's "kobe" sloppy joe, a waste of good meat...

Food might be okay but I'd be very skeptical. If you look at their other places you'll see the target market. Seems like they have a formula down for drunk disney type venues. The name "Mas Sake Freestyle Sushi" should tip you off.

Okay, I was curious so I did a Yelp search. One review wrote about Mas Sake, "Hooters, now serving sushi in the Marina." That probably sums things up enough to avoid.

If you haven't been to Mas Sake, that quote from Yelp sums it up perfectly. And the sushi is terrible.

OK, I deserved someone dredging that up.
Never did make it back to Impala for food. The chef at Jones worked at Scott Seafood. I'm guessing the drinks are good though based on my Impala experience.
Is there no place recently opened for the likes of me?
I'm probably too old for Jones and ... hopefully ... too young for the reopening of Julius' Castle this weekend. I'm thinking I'm not looking for lobster thrermidor without the irony ... though I'm having hopes that brunch might be decent ... good brunch and a view ... priceless.

I'd go to the Myth cafe for this kind of concept instead. Same idea of elevated comfort food executed at a high level. The mac & cheese is great.
