Great atmosphere, like always. Last meal I had wasn't that good 3-4 years ago. We thought we'd try again. My daughter's shrimp pasta was good, but my NY strip was tasteless. I usually can't handle sodium at all, but this had absolutely none on it- in fact, I think it was sitting in water.
We recently dined at Reality Bites for the first time in years and it’ll probably be awhile until we go back. The food here to my memory was amazing before but last night was just bad. I ordered the “jalapeño steak” tacos and expected the steak to be flavorful but it was anything but. While I expected “jalapeño steak”, I got steak pieces with diced jalapeños. On top of that, the steak was completely unseasoned and was way too chewy. I thought maybe I just got a bad plate but another person in our party ordered the same and had the same disappointment and didn’t even touch his third taco. Maybe it was just an off night but it will definitely be impacting our desire to return.

My husband and I attempted to get a drink here and I was SO excited to try it because the Fall cocktail menu looks phenomenal. However, we walked in exactly one hour before closing time and were greeted by the bartender at the bar doing a shot with the only 4 customers in the place on a Friday night. After she finished her shot, she greeted us by saying "Hi can I help you?" in a tone that strongly implied "How dare you be here so late?" Again, it was a full hour before closing. We said we were just there for a drink and she told us we could be seated at the bar or at a high-top table, so we sat at a high-top. Then a waitress immediately came over and told us we couldn't sit there because the kitchen was closed. We told her we were just there for a drink and she said that it didn't matter, we would still have to move to the bar because she was closing the seating area down for the night (once again, a whole hour before the place closes). So at this point we felt very unwelcome and just left. How a bar that was completely dead on a Friday night (literally 4 people in the place) could afford to turn away 2 paying customers is quite shocking to me. The menu is very intriguing, but not sure whether or not I'm willing to try this place again.
Cool trendy downtown bar/restaurant. Good service good food. Outdoor patio dining also.

Had dinner with some friends from work and they told me about the restaurant. Reality bites is such a nice place with a calm atmosphere . I had 3 Salmon tacos and they were delicious. I would certainly visit again

Best fish tacos I have ever had. The lime crema was fantastic. My friend had the shrimp tacos and was equally impressed.

Been here several times. Always good! My salad had one sliver of avocado on it. Bummer! A little slow today, got a parking ticket for exceeding the 90min park time.
