Bortolami's is a semi gourmet pizza joint, really good choices for pizza options, kind of a lesser better version of Julianos. Inside, its themed in all bicycles, kind of loud and noisy. That part was annoying, but the food was good enough to stick around and enjoy it. I do love gourmet pizza :)
The service was okay, they were fairly quick for being so packed, level of friendlyness was just okay. There were kids running around the table, but that is not fault of the restaurant. They have 3 tvs, one is really big. Lots of sports going on! Too noisy, but too delicious. I definately recommend this place. The pizza was perfectly spiced, and lots of flavor, the crust was crispy and thin and perfect. I was really satisfied. It was filling, we split a medium, had 3 slices each, and we were full.

Wingman is a great place to go if you want to watch the local sports games and eat some boned hot wings. With choice of bbq, mild, medium, spicy, extra spicy, and honey, there are many different options and choices of wings. They also have other varietys of food available, I believe cheeseburgers as well, as is check out the menus wide variety for many other choices outside of wings. Its VERY relaxed and casual dining, It kind of looks like a fast food joint inside, the service was friendly and fast. Yet when your sitting there, visiting, and eating, it certainly doesnt feel like a fast food joint. I was very impressed, being a wing fan, I guess its typical. The mild was good (im a bit of a pansy) and the extra spicy was also good, for being a little business, they sure had a lot of variety for food you could get. I reccommend it to anyone feeling like some wings, served with fries, a soda, and a side of celery sticks :). The sauce on the wings were a lot, i mean, there was a pool sitting at the bottom of the plate/tray. It tasted really good with the french fries cleaning up the extra sauce. Messy, but worthwhile. I wouldnt take a date here, but its still a great place to go.

Sakura of Japan on the outside, looks a bit like a dive, on the inside, its beautiful autentic Japanese food. They grill it up and cook it right in front of you as you sit in these square tables (an share your table with others), the service was okay, the people were quick, nice, efficient. Quiet, but a lot of them I personally believe had a language barrier gap. The dining was fairly casual, the foood was delicious! Menu items consisted of different types of chicken and beef, a really interesting vinager salad, and many different additives and what you would expect from an authentic Japanese food place.
I totally reccomend it for an authentic Japanese experiance, bring the kids, and the parents. Enjoy it!
