Stumbled upon this spot and had to try the spicy tuna. It was so fresh, with a nice kick from the chili oil. The place is tiny and gets packed, so we had to wait a bit for a table. No regrets though!

Been coming here for years. That dark chocolate with olive oil and sea salt? Sounds weird, I know. But it&rsquo;s the one thing I keep ordering. They&rsquo;ve had it on the menu forever, and it&rsquo;s always just right.

I&#39;ve been coming here for their tea flights in the afternoons. It&#39;s a nice spot to unwind solo. For what you get, the price is pretty fair&mdash;each flight comes with three generous samples and a little snack. Makes for a solid, relaxed treat.

Their brown sugar and matcha lattes are my go-to. The coffee is well-balanced, and they don&#39;t overdo the sweetness.

The chicken and waffles are a must for brunch. The chicken was so crispy and the waffle had this perfect hint of sweetness. Those $3 mimosas just made the whole vibe feel right.

The retro Jetsons vibe is pretty fun. The burger was decent, tasted more homemade than fast food. The milkshake was super thick, which I liked. They slice the fries fresh, though my order took a little while.

Order at the counter, they bring it to you. Simple. Big windows, feels open and airy. Good for a quick lunch.

Been coming here for years. Their egg drop soup is different, not the usual style, but I like the taste. The noodle sides are generous, good for the price.

Soup dumplings were a bit smaller than I expected, but they came out piping hot when I dined in. Perfect for a quick lunch craving.

Corinne has such a nice, modern feel. The pancakes were fluffy and cooked just right. The staff was really friendly and made us feel so welcome. A lovely spot for a relaxed brunch.

A bit on the pricier side, but you can really taste the quality in the ingredients. The portions are huge, and you can tell everything is made with care. My plate was packed!

Vanessa was so nice! She remembered my name from the reservation and checked in just the right amount. Felt like a regular on my first visit.

The ceviche was the highlight for me. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, and the citrus marinade was perfectly balanced. I appreciated how light and clean it felt. The cabbage in cashew sauce was also nice, with a good texture.

The morning light through those old Victorian windows just hits different. Their poptarts are still my favorite, flaky and warm. The art on the walls feels like it belongs there, you know? A quiet, lovely start to the day.

Found Bandol on their wine list! That&#39;s a rare bottle even in Europe. Can&#39;t wait to come back in the evening to try it.

Hestia offers an incredible dining experience with a unique concept of cooking over a wood fire. The flavors are bold and smoky, making every dish a delight to savor. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience.

I was blown away by the creativity of the menu at Gonzales Bistro. Every dish we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented. This place is definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for a memorable meal.

I had an incredible anniversary dinner at Lutie&#39;s, where the 8-course tasting menu was a delightful seafood journey. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, making it a memorable culinary experience.

I had the best Waygu beef burger here! The food is unbelievably delicious, and the artsy decor adds to the overall charm of the place. The staff is attentive and engaging, making the experience even better.

I had a fantastic brunch here! The homemade sausage and soft scrambled eggs were wonderful, and the Grand Marnier crepe was a delightful addition.

Hank&#39;s offers a chic and inviting atmosphere with spacious seating and beautiful decor. The service is exceptional, making it a great spot for gatherings or casual dining.

Prices are totally fair for what you get. My plate was huge and didn&#39;t cost a fortune.

The chicken fried steak was spot on - crispy coating, tender meat, good gravy. Fried mushrooms were a nice side, not greasy. Liked that the bar area is separate from the tables, keeps the dining room quiet. Solid spot.

The patio over the Guadalupe River is something else. That sound of the waterfall below while you eat? Unbeatable. The wine list had some solid local picks that went perfectly with the river view. A bit breezy later in the evening, but that just added to the vibe.

Been coming here for years. That breakfast sandwich with bacon and the runny yolk? It&#39;s always spot-on. That&#39;s the main reason I keep coming back.

The sampler plate is my go-to for lunch with friends. Perfect for sharing and trying a bit of everything!

First time here, I tried the crustless quiche and a side salad. Really appreciate the focus on fresh, simple ingredients. The staff was so nice, they even gave me a sample of their berry smoothie. Great to find a spot with so many gluten-free choices.
