I'm so glad to hear Pandora's is opening their doors again! I don't know about the soft opening on Friday night, but the Sweaterpuppets have been booked to play Saturday the 5th.

What time?

Well,I met the new manager @ Pandora's- Michelle Mitchell. She was quite personable and was very welcomed to the local critics and arrival.

Pandora's will be a soft opening- breaking in the "newbies" and readjusting the "old folks". Some old faces, mostly new...:boxing::boxing:Be nice!

If you can- spread the word and give Pandora's a second chance. Hey, based upon the former managment, it can only get better! Right??!!

Looking forward to seeing the "long lost locals" who would not return because of the former management.

What time are you going? Me and posse can only make an appearance as we already had dinner plans for somewhere else.

Probably 6-6:30 if I don't get scared and freak out. I could get to the parking lot and circle the place a few times. Like when I get weirded out if I am the only person at the barber when getting my haircut. I'll bring peep/s that usually calms me. Or is 5:00 the recomended?

Big haps at the outside bar

and the steak was super good. I was mildly put off by the older guy in very casual dress who asked "Can I help you with something?" when my party was entering. He looked more like a tourist/patron who got lost on the way to the bathroom. Mumbling "yeah you can help us find some professionalism" it was posse to the hostess stand so big we walked in twos we're getting dirty looks from those other sucka crews..whoops sorry got my wires crossed. We were seated in the room nearer the outside bar, the other room smelled like it was being painted. The pretty and recently prego bartender restored our faith by doing a fine job hostessing. The kitchen looked much cleaner btw as we passed. Drink orders were taken by Gina(sp) and the dude running the bread out should be running the show in my opinion he was by far the most competent. A woman who seemed to be in a management capacity brought a beer out very promptly when asked.

Our food arrived and was cooked perfectly. Really when they are on their steaks are increible! with the light smokiness. I can only rank McGuires higher on the ribeyes (not always), and yes I have eaten everywhere else also. Bones were gnawed, checks were brought, and tabs paid. Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I am glad they are reopened and hope they keep the place clean and the attitue positive. It is such a cool place--their parking lot is more interesting and has more ambience than most other places insides. Have the guy that was bringing the bread (I should've gotten his name) train the other staff and put the polish on them. I'll be in weekly.

Bread guy was J. T.- aka J. T. Seriously, he was "Aubbie" @ Auburn (in his youth) and as for the casual guy...I just don't know- well I do but... Nikki was the prego bartender/hostess and has always been a sweetie!

We ate there tonight as well and I am so very pleased with the changes in attitude that I can't control myself! The Boner, I mean the bone in ribeye was fantastic! as was the bacon wrapped scallops! Our server was so kind and dispite a few minor things ( hey, it was the FIRST night! and soft) was perfect and genuinely cared about our experience.

Sam and Sheri (owners) were so very gracious and pleased that the locals came out to support Pandora's... I was pleased to see locals who had not been there since the "former manager whose shall not be named" showed up and commented on how wonderful the place looked. I had to agree.

Congratulations Pandora's! Sam, Sheri, Tammy, Nikki, Jesse, Robert, Michelle (outside bar), the Steenos and to the new employees for a job well done! Thanks locals for coming out and supporting them! BTW- welcome back locals who have not been there for quite awhile! We missed you but are glad you've come back home.

Sincerely and love to all,
Beach Princess

P.S. Special kudos to sowalgaiboy and elgordoboy. Keep coming back!:love::drink::chill::party: Se y'all tomorrow- same bat time, same bat station!

The STEENOS...Bobby and Lisa...always wonderful and entertaining Management might want to consider bringing back DALLAS!!!! and GENE Mitchell!!!!
