The swordfish was the standout. Perfectly cooked, tender and flaky. The flounder appetizer was also good, but the fish itself was the star. Prices felt fair for the quality.

I lived in Italy for a bit, and the food here really takes me back. It&rsquo;s that authentic, family-run vibe you don&rsquo;t find everywhere. The service was spot-on, too.

Been coming here for years with friends. It&rsquo;s our go-to for a chill night out. The carne asada tacos are always solid, and the margarita pitcher is just right for sharing. A reliable spot when you want something tasty without overthinking it.

Came here after work and the fire-roasted oysters totally hit the spot. The smoky flavor was just right. Sat on the patio watching the boats, super chill vibe.

The BBQ pigs feet and turkey wing were fantastic. They had a solid bourbon selection, which paired nicely with the rich flavors. The okra soup and collard greens were spot on. Some of the best soul food around.

This place is a lifesaver for our group dinners. My friend is vegan, and I&#39;m gluten-free. We both found multiple options that felt thoughtfully prepared. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, which I really appreciate. The menu is clearly labeled, so ordering is stress-free.

Late lunch, fish sandwich and coconut shrimp tacos. Solid food. Server nailed a custom drink I had in mind, really hit the spot. Good service response.

Stopped by for a beer and ended up playing darts for a couple hours. Solid local spot, nothing fancy. The vibe is just right for a casual hang.

The lunch buffet is a solid value. Good variety of dishes to sample. The attached grocery is handy for picking up spices and ingredients on the way out.

Decent deal on the personal pizza, you can load it up with whatever toppings. The blackberry lemonade was a nice touch. Crust could&#39;ve been a bit crispier, but for the price, it&#39;s solid.

My first time trying Thai food was pretty good. The steamed chicken dumplings were nice, and I really liked the spicy chicken noodle salad. The place is clean and has a pleasant, low-key vibe. Service was sweet. We ended up wishing we&#39;d ordered a bit more.

The fried chicken sandwich is a solid choice. I love the crunch of the mixed greens salad with it. The space has this relaxed, airy feel that just makes a casual lunch really pleasant.

Jason handled our wedding reception. Super responsive. The mini roast beef sliders were a huge hit. Everything was on point.

The blue cheese coleslaw on the Cosmic Dog was the star for me. You could really taste the freshness of the cabbage and the quality of the cheese. A nice, lighter take on a classic. The Blue Galactic was good too, but that slaw made the first one stand out.

The vintage breakfast sandwich is a delicious, messy delight. Their coffee is consistently good, and the iced version was a perfect pairing.

The staff were really sweet. But the best part was the sun coming through those huge windows by the booths. Felt so cozy and warm, just perfect for a lazy afternoon.

Rebecca surprised us with a treat and a candle for our early celebration, which was so thoughtful. I really appreciated that the dessert was light and not overly sweet. The fresh berries on top were a nice touch.

Fun, bright spot for lunch with the kids. Their little meals were a total win. I ordered the shrimp and grits and really liked them&mdash;creamy grits, nice plump shrimp. A solid choice for a family meal.

Erica was our server and she was great. Super friendly, knew the menu well. Took her advice and got the Southern Smash Burger. It was a solid choice. Made for a good, easy lunch.

The patio is so nice for a chill evening. They had a live band playing, which really added to the vibe. It&#39;s a good, low-key spot to hang out with friends.

Leslie and Taylor were super quick and friendly even during the rush.

Stumbled in after walking around. Got the Cuban panini with that Caribbean sauce - really hit the spot. Potato salad was solid too. Just a good, simple lunch.

Loved the vibe here. The brick walls and old industrial feel of the historic building made it a really unique, cozy spot for dinner. Felt like stepping back in time for a bit.

Nice patio for a sunny day. The latte was smooth, and the biscotti had a good toasted almond flavor. Just a chill spot to grab a coffee.

The chicken salad was so fresh, with crisp greens and a light dressing. I&#39;ll definitely be back to try their other flavors!

The staff here are always so nice. Last time I ordered a lot for takeout, and the person helping me double-checked everything to make sure it was all correct and still nice and warm when I got home. Really appreciated that.

The menu has a lot of variety, which I liked. Tried the birch beer&mdash;it was a fun find. The space itself is really open and airy, with high ceilings and big windows. Felt relaxed just sitting there.

The Frito pie is my usual order, and it&rsquo;s pretty good. Burgers are consistently solid, too. Staff is friendly, which is nice. A decent spot for a casual bite.

The ginger lemonade here is really something. I get it every time. They have a solid drink list overall, cocktails are interesting, good wines too. It&#39;s a nice spot to just sit and have a drink.
