This new location, established in 1940, featured a hidden gambling room above the restaurant, adding to its allure as a last chance for patrons to try their luck.The grand opening of Café La Maze in National City became a star-studded event, attracting iconic actors such as Bing Crosby, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, and Johnny Weissmuller.

    We celebrated my wife’s birthday with friends. We had a wonderful evening with amazing food. My wife and I shared the 32oz aged Tomahawk steak and it was exceptional. We ordered the mashed potatoes, the cream spinach and the mac and cheese as our side dishes. This will be my new “go to” steakhouse.

    Second date and again it was a great experience. We were seated by the window overlooking the mountains and the darkening vista was spectacular. Food was absolutely amazing, especially the wild mushrooms and calamari I had. Wait time was also considerably less this time around, so very much happy about that.

    Sessions by the Bay was absolutely awesome, fantastic and amazing. The experience from the moment you enter is immersive, customer focused and gives the vibe of a hugh end store. The staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and cool. I was checked out by a really cool staffer named Chance! The products were top of the line. The prices were reasonable and because I spent over $100 I got a free sweatshirt. In addition, that purchase got me free entry to the lounge. The lounge was sooo cool. The decor was Rainforest modern, complete with a DJ booth spinning vinyl and a sound stage where the owner Pearl sang like an angel. Such a vibe. The food was GREAT! The churros were my favorite and the euck wings were hitting! This place is absolutely the bomb! I recommend it highly!

    Went with a group of 6 for a birthday celebration. At first I thought I would be disappointed when the hostess went to find my reservation and never came back but when I entered the restaurant, the waiter was extremely attentive. The staff were accommodating, service was super fast, the drinks and food were amazing. Would definitely return.
