The crab fried rice here is loaded with flavor. Seriously, the portion was huge and it was the best thing we ordered. Couldn&#39;t finish it all.

Tried this spot for the first time. For a chain, the ingredients really do stand out. The beef patty tasted way better than I expected, and the veggies were actually fresh. Pleasantly surprised.

The seafood green onion pancake is the only thing I think about here. The outside is super crispy, but the inside stays fluffy. They don&#39;t skimp on the shrimp and squid either. That&#39;s the whole review.

Been coming here for years, and the Greek yogurt parfait is always spot-on. It&#39;s my go-to when I&#39;m at the hotel.

The vegetarian combo is huge! We&#39;re two people with decent appetites and still had leftovers. It&#39;s definitely a shareable dish.

Been coming here for years, and the service is always on point. Even when it&#39;s packed, they keep things moving smoothly. Staff&#39;s friendly without being overbearing.

Late night cravings sorted here. The space is clean and actually looks nice, which is a bonus at 1 AM. Portions are huge for what you pay. Service was fast, got my food in under ten minutes. Solid spot when you&#39;re hungry after hours.

The wagyu beef and lamb slices are the main draw. Good marbling, tender texture. They cook quickly in the broth and hold their flavor well. The quality of the meat justifies the price point for me.

The kufta kebab plate was a good size for sharing. The owners were really nice, and the service made the whole meal feel relaxed. It&#39;s a comfortable spot.

The pastries are definitely a splurge, but you can taste the care in every bite. That flaky croissant? It was something else. More of a treat-yourself kind of spot.

The team was so nice about a mix-up with our main. They fixed it right away and even threw in a dessert. Really appreciated that.

Prem and La Jon were attentive without being intrusive. They handled our table well, even with a full house. Service was efficient, which is what I look for. Made the evening smooth.

Marco and Vonz are always so friendly. They remember what I like and check in without being overbearing. Just makes the whole meal feel easy.

Came here with a group of friends last Friday. The oysters Rockefeller were so good&mdash;warm and cheesy, just the right vibe for sharing. We ended up ordering another round!

Been coming here for years, and their cocktails are always creative. The Hummingbird with the cotton candy is my go-to.

Been coming here for years. The tomatillo martini is still the best in town, hands down. They make their own chamoy, too. Wish I could buy a bottle of it.

The weekend brunch buffet was pretty good. The chef&#39;s creativity shows in the unique twists on each dish.

The owner imports a lot of ingredients from Italy, and you can really taste the difference. The pasta had such a fresh, simple flavor. My only small note is that the chairs are a bit hard for a longer meal, but the food is spot-on.

Portions are medium, but the black cod and spicy crab noodles were flavorful. Service was friendly and not rushed, which I appreciated.

Great spot for a quick lunch. The staff speaks Italian, which adds to the authentic vibe. Got my pasta in under 10 minutes. Cozy corner to eat and get back to work. Solid for a fast, no-fuss bite.

The filet mignon tacos were delicious. I have a nut allergy, and the staff was really thoughtful&mdash;they swapped out the sauce for me without any fuss. It made the whole meal so much more relaxing.

The service at Shearwater Tavern was exceptional, especially from our server Christian, who was personable and professional. His recommendations made our meal even more enjoyable.

The service at Mastro&#39;s is top-notch! Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It really enhanced our dining experience.

Impeccable service and a beautiful atmosphere make this place a must-visit. The King Salmon with prosciutto-wrapped asparagus was a highlight of my meal!

The Baby Giraffes IPA was so crisp! Really hit the spot. The free taffy at the end was a cute touch, and the vibe was perfect for catching up with friends. Just a fun, easy spot to hang.

Been coming here for years. The green tomatillo sauce on the chicken enchiladas is always spot-on, never watery or bland. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

The house-made tartar sauce on the fish and chips was great, with a nice dill pickle kick. They suggested a crisp lager to go with it, and it really worked.
