Just came here tonight for the Jazz Under the Stars event and it was awesome. Got to hear some cool music from Danilo Perez and had a great time with Katie C., Sam M., Keith Y., Brian Q. and my other friends that showed up.
Sure, there may be signs that say no alcoholic beverages, but almost everyone had out a bottle of wine or some other alcoholic beverage. The event actually starts at 8, but people actually start showing up at least 2 hours earlier so you can start securing your spot or area out in the lawn with lawn chairs and blankets.
If you happen to break your seal a little early in the night there are plenty of port-o-potties out next to the road.
Best thing about the event is that it's free and you can bring your own food and booze! -

I just love coming here on Thursday evenings! It's so cheap, it's free!
I love the live music playing, the kiddie section where you can make your own art, and the colored light exhibit. I like the fan that's swinging from the ceiling, if you stand straight under it while it's coming at you it kinda freaks you out the first time. I actually ducked even though it was flying like 3 feet above my head. I also like all the art works that feature boobies. Who doesn't like a statue that has big boobies?
Only problem on my last visit it that I came with impatient friends, so I was kinda being rushed through the exhibit. If you like taking time to look at art I suggest coming alone or with people who have the same appreciation as you. -

Generally the DMA is pretty fun. I used to come here on Thursdays back in the day and enjoy the free entry after 5 and listen to some live jazz bands. Good stuff.
However, Katie C. and I came up here to check out the King Tut exhibit on a Saturday. Everyone was there! It was almost too crowded. As we were going through the maze of artifacts, it was like being herded right before the slaughter. I actually got uncomfortable being around so many people. With my ADD I wanted to go here and there looking at whatever caught my eye, but that was hard to do because of there being so many people.
There were plenty of artifacts to see, but the thing that I liked the most was the ancient bling. I really wanted to see some mummified people or cats or the guts inside the jars, none of that was there. I was sad.

I've only been here for drinks so far, but I've gotta say that from my experience of all the other Korean bars around town, the bar tenders here know how to make drinks. Drinks, as in the kinds that any Caucasian person would order. Karis, one of the bartenders does a good job of serving it up. Other than mixed drinks they've got some beers and surprisingly a wide variety of wines.
With this new bar/restaurant I will mention it's really spacious inside and I hope that this concept works well in addition to his other bar in K-town, DanSungSa.
I can't wait till I try their food next time!

The bruschetta looked really healthy with lots of diced tomatoes to just barely even notice that it had any cheese and basil in it.
The pici pasta with the Bolognese sauce is something that probably took some time making it was evident that the pasta was hand rolled. The thick pasta made a good accompaniment to the chucks of meat, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
You can call me a weirdo, but I'm usually not a fan of shrimp. Maybe it was the type of shrimp that I needed to try before I made a disposition against it. The Campanelle came with the rock shrimp variety and was covered in a creamy sauce that made it very enjoyable for me. I definitely will have this again!
Another dish we all shared was the herb crusted Chilean sea bass. The thick cut of fish on the bed of angel hair pasta was okay, but I think it was the herb crust that made this work.
For dessert(s) we got to try some of the tiramisu, but they supposedly didn't have enough made so they offered us some bread pudding. I'm actually glad that I got to try the bread pudding since I think I might have enjoyed it more than the tiramisu. Not that the tiramisu was bad, but the bread pudding was just that good! I had a port wine to go along with all of this, but I think I should have opted for some thing a little lighter.
Throughout this mini food festival at our table the service was on the spot. Drinks were filled, new plates for every dish that came out sequentially (dishes were served family style), and even our questions were answered by waiting staff, chef, and owner.
Although my gf wasn't able to join us tonight for dinner I was sending her pics of our food while she was at work. I think I might have tortured her. She demands that I bring her next time and so I will!

I came a little early and as I was looking around I immediately saw a bunch over in the VIP room so I knew that would be us. That's how Yelp rolls! I'm actually glad we were over in the VIP room since there was a live jazz band in the main dining area. I think the music volume was just enough so I able to chat with some awesome folks. Ben L., Roxanne K., David P., Scott P., Blanca O., Karl, and Frances G. it was great to have dined with you all! There were more peeps and familiar faces, but they were at the other table.
Fedora + Frances = Fun times. Can't wait for the next event!
Well I found out about this place after one of my friends posted up a picture on facebook of their Pompis wrapper vehicle (Hummer? can't remember this detail). I didn't know what the big deal was until they told me what Pompis meant. Pompis = booty. So it's one of "those" places. We now have Hooters and Twin peaks and now there's Pompis. What female body part themed restaurant is next? I can only imagine.
I guess they're still fairly new and I'm not sure if they've campaigned themselves very well yet since we went for lunch and our group was the only one there. At first we weren't even sure if they were open. Once we stepped in, pompis greeted us, pompis were behind the bar and pompis served our food. As a dude, I feel compelled to let the other dudes and lesbians know that these pompis were... very well defined.
Anyways, since they're still new, they haven't received their TABC license yet, so they're giving away two free beers with ID. If you want some, hurry up and check it out before it's too late.
I had the beef tacos which seemed very authentic to me (so heavy on the cilantro), and a side of elotes. The elotes minus a couple ingredients that the street vendors serve up, tasted plain, but quelled my elotes craving. The chips and salsa seemed never ending to me since I was munching down on them from start to finish. The service from the pompis was pretty good since they weren't too busy.
I'd say that if you're into football or as we Americans like to call it "soccer", Pompis is a great place to watch a match with your crew if you're in the Mesquite area. They have a big projector screen and TV's all around.
The reason why I like their version of jjajangmyun is because their noodles are a bit thicker than anywhere else. I'd say they're thick as if not, are udon noodles. The black bean sauce has very acceptable amount of veggies and pork meat. If you're not into swine, they also have beef and veggie based options available,too.
Also, if you get the combo number four, in addition to the jjajangmyun, it comes with a heaping portion of tangsooyuk which are batter-dipped and fried strips of pork meat in a sweet and flavorful sauce. The veggies in it are cut into big chunks, but nothing your chopsticks can't handle; has a lot of bell peppers, onions, and carrots. The way they make it tastes like my mom's recipe. Mmmm, fond memories.
Every time I've dined here it's always near closing time after I've been studying at a near by cafe. Once it hits 10pm they kind of hint that you need to gtfo. Nevertheless, I'm just glad I got to eat some of my favorite food.
There were some healthier alternatives like fruit, but I don't go to breakfast buffets for fruit.
We also got some of the fresh made to order waffles and omelets, but we had to wait a while for the cook to show up from the back. The cook didn't seem to thrilled that we were making her work.
I've had better breakfasts for the price
Like Mike C. says, the porters come, make sure you're at the right place, you have all your luggage, and sends it to your ship. They do a good job of handling lots of luggage at the same time and mine came back unscathed at the end of my trip. Tip, they expect it.

The people at Katy Trail Ice House had a warm welcome for us Yelpers and invited us to write more reviews and to come back for more awesome times. I'm cool with that. Oh, and supposedly they're gonna be getting some heaters in for the winter time, so that'll be nice.
As you can see from the pics we all got some neat shades! I wear my Yelp (stunna) glasses at night...

There was a part of the exhibit that kind of creeped me out. They have plain faced mannequins with moving faces projected on to them. I think some of the projectors need some adjusting so that the projections align with the faces. Other than that there were a lot of very unique costumes/dresses/art.
The Yelp event page says it goes until January, but according to the museum the exhibit will be there till February 12.
