The hot stone steak was fun to cook myself. Got the filet and shrimp combo, cooked it just how I like it. Salad was big too.

A real find. The burrata e crudo was the star, so fresh and simple. Just a lovely, quiet spot.

Been coming here for years, always for the shrimp and grits. It&#39;s my go-to. They&#39;ve never messed it up, always that same creamy texture with the perfect kick. That consistency keeps me coming back, even on busy nights.

The mango lobster roll with wasabi dressing was the highlight for me. Really creative combination, the wasabi kick was a nice surprise. The Nano roll was solid too. Just a good, interesting spot for sushi.

Been coming here for years. The cocktails are always on point, just like they were on my first date night here.

Came for an anniversary dinner. The staff was really nice, brought out a free dessert plate which was a sweet touch. My surf and turf was cooked just right. Felt like they actually paid attention.

The staff here is really nice. They noticed we were out of bread for our dip and brought more over without us having to ask. It&#39;s a small thing, but it made the meal feel relaxed and well taken care of.

The shared platter concept works well for a business lunch. Good for groups, easy to talk while eating.

Been coming here for years. Staff is always friendly, even when they&#39;re slammed on a Saturday morning. You don&#39;t feel rushed.

The market fries were pretty good. Fresh, with a decent amount of crab aioli and meat on top. A solid choice if you&#39;re looking for something to share.

Grilled prime rib was spot-on. They handled our group of eight really well, still had a good vibe for talking.

Loved watching the chefs work from our table. The food was solid, and the staff knew their stuff when I asked about a wine pairing for the grilled fish. A bit loud for a quiet chat, but the energy was fun.

Richard was a great waiter. He was really attentive and even played the congas for a birthday song at the next table. Made the whole place feel friendly and fun.

Chicken crisp and fish wrap were fresh. Mango smoothie hit the spot. But those potato wedges... crispy outside, fluffy inside. Could eat a whole plate.

The blackened fish tacos are really good, and the avocado slice was a nice touch. The booth seating was comfortable, too.

Solid teriyaki chicken for takeout. Generous portions, still hot and tasty when I got home. Packaging held up well, no leaks. Good for a quick dinner.

Been here a few times and they&#39;re always packed. That&#39;s usually a good sign. Ordered the steak again last night and it was cooked just right. Service is solid, they keep things moving even when it&#39;s full. A reliable spot when you want a good meal without surprises.

The staff here has such a warm way of making you feel at home. It&#39;s in the little things, like how they remembered my name from the reservation. That genuine welcome made the whole evening. The gallo pinto was good, too.

As a vegetarian, I was really happy with the options. The dal makhani is my go-to, so rich and creamy. The homemade strawberry ice cream was a perfect, not-too-sweet finish.

The Mimosas were nice and cold, perfect for a hot day. My Caprese grilled cheese was tasty, but the bread got a bit soggy in the middle. Still, a solid lunch spot.

Came for a quick lunch. The view of the lake is nice. Server was friendly and fast, which is what I needed. Got the grilled chicken salad. It was fresh. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area and short on time.

Been coming here for years. The fried calamari is still the best in the neighborhood. Light, crispy coating, and the squid itself is always fresh. Never greasy.

Been coming here for years. Their burgers are a solid choice if you&#39;re not feeling BBQ. The patty is always juicy and has a good, rich flavor to it. Not fancy, just reliable.

The cappelletti pasta was fantastic, fresh and perfectly sauced. My only note is that the wine list felt a bit limited for pairing with such rich flavors. Still, a great dish.

Came for lunch before it got busy. The yucca fries were so filling we ended up taking some home! I really liked the vibe in here, it&#39;s got this nice, relaxed feel with the wooden tables and big windows.

The wings were a solid choice. They had a nice crisp and the seasoning was just right. Everything came out hot, which was good. Portions are a bit on the smaller side, though.

The cheesecake case always looks so good. I tried the strawberry slice this time, it was nice. The tables are a little close together though, makes it hard to relax.

The owner came by to chat, super passionate about the food. The chicken and lentils were perfectly spiced, tasted just like a home-cooked meal. Really authentic vibe.
