The Glass Door

2009-11-15T07:22:00.001-08:00

My wife's friend decided that she wanted to go somewhere in Little Italy last night and so, we came up with The Glass Door. I've been wanting to check it out for a while as I heard some great things about it. It's on the 4th floor of the Porto Vista hotel and has a great view of the airport, bay and skyline.

We made reservations for 7pm with a request to sit on the patio. We got there right on the dot and sure enough there wasn't any open tables. What's the point of a reservation right? Finally, after a cocktail at the bar, our table was ready. The hostess set the table for only two, though we had four in the reservation. She said, no problem we'll get some extra chairs. She brings back a couple bar stools with no backing and super uncomfortable. The patio is pretty clastrphobic and narrow; it's normal to get bumped into more than twice while you're there.

We finally got situated and opened the menu. Wow, now I know why their menu isn't on their website. There's about eight dinner items to choose from and items range from $22 for chicken to $33 for a steak. Everything is a la carte too. I wasn't about to spend $22 on a chicken dish so we went with a $12 burger, but then you have to add $1 items to your burger (only comes with lettuce and tomato). Now, we're at $16 for this burger. Also, went with a wedge salad (small amount of dressing and the smallest wedge I have ever seen).

Burger came out overcooked and with barely any blue cheese. I asked if we can get more bleu cheese and the server came back with, "sorry, we're out of bleu cheese." Well, no wonder there was 5 crumbles on the burger.

The bill I figure was $100 more than what it was worth. Oh yea, add $20 more for the two drinks we had at the bar while we waited for our table.

All in all, go here for the wine and the view. The food was horrible, overpriced and service was the slowest I have witnessed in a while. I heard they have a great happy hour though.

THE HHM STORY

2009-08-11T20:32:00.000-07:00

Happy Hour Magazine was founded in San Diego, November 2006 and the first issue was published June 2007. Brad Nemire, Founder of the concept, created the publication when his parents came into town and wanted to visit a happy hour. With no clear idea of where to go, the idea came to mind about publishing a guide to the best happy hours that San Diego has to offer.

San Diego was a perfect platform to start the publication. There are three key variables in a city for Happy Hour Magazine to be successful. The city must be a big tourist destination, a big business city, and a big college city. These are the demographics that are attracted to happy hours, in which would be interested in Happy Hour Magazine.

To be successful in today's world, you must have a niche that distinguishes and makes you unique from others. Happy Hour Magazine is the ONE & ONLY Happy Hour Magazine in the WORLD! With the idea of putting together a print publication, the idea of a happy hour website came soon after. HappyHourMagazine.com is San Diego's most popular website and continues to strive. We do much more than the typical print publication. Besides the print publication and the interactive website; we publish a weekly E-Newsletter, we have pages on all the popular online social networks (MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn). We are also integrating in using text marketing as well as mobile phone applications.

Every city in America needs a Happy Hour Magazine!!
