Currently at the top of my list for places I would recommend in the city. It's a corner pub, and tight on space, but they do have outdoor seating, and the food is simply terrific. Different specials and menu items each night add to the enjoyment, and the wait staff is friendly and attentive. I can't give enough praise to this restaurant.

I've been to Gecko's dozens of times, and have yet to be disappointed. My personal favorite is the BBQ Chicken Chipotle Enchilada, but I've tried most of the menu, and it's all been terrific. I've always had nothing but friendly service while there, too.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a really nicely done interior as well. It's one of the places I recommend to people new to the area. A very cool hidden gem.

I was a member here for about 3 months, and I got out. It's like working out in a mall. The free weight and machine area is really small, with limited options, so if you're looking to do any sort of resistance exercises with weight, I'd highly recommend looking elsewhere (the area also gets overly crowded in prime time).

They are also selective in how they enforce their policies. The no cell phone rule is posted all over the place, but I saw people using them all the time, including someone using one while a gym employee waited to talk to her.

Add in the parking, which is a major hassle, and it's simply not worth the money. It looks good when you walk in, though!
