The patio was perfect for a glass of wine. The complimentary bread with olive tapenade was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years, and the dessert case is always a treat. The strawberry orange cheesecake is my go-to.

Came across this old silo turned restaurant. Sat outside for dinner, the summer breeze was nice. Food was decent, nothing crazy. Kinda pricey for what it was, but the setting is cool.

Steak tartare and lemon cheesecake were both solid. But honestly, the portion sizes for the price? I left still feeling a bit peckish. The little extras are nice, but I&#39;d rather have a more filling main plate.

Came for a work dinner. The vibe was relaxed, parking wasn&#39;t an issue. My steak was cooked just right, really tender. The service was a bit slow getting our checks at the end, but overall a solid spot for a group.

Stopped in for a beer after work. The rotating taps are cool, always something new. Got an imperial pint of Guinness, solid pour for the price. Just a chill spot.

The mango lassi cuts through the rich curries perfectly.

This place is a solid neighborhood spot. The wings are the real deal - crispy skin, juicy inside, the sauce has a nice kick. Tried the vegan burger too, it was surprisingly good. A bit pricey for a casual meal, but you get what you pay for.

Sam the bartender was a lot of fun. She suggested the new Big Ditch JEST vodka teas, and we liked them enough to grab a variety pack on the way out.

Lobster pasta was creamy and rich, just how I like it. The lemon drop martini had the perfect balance of sweet and tart. A really nice spot for a cozy dinner.

The dessert menu here is wild. I tried the lavender honey panna cotta - so unique, and the texture was spot on. Great spot downtown for something a little different.

Food&#39;s always solid here, service is chill. Snagged a table by the water this time, which was a nice bonus. Just a reliable place to grab a bite.

They handled our large family order perfectly. Everything was spot-on and delivered with a smile.

Cozy spot, friendly staff. The short ribs were really well done, great flavor from the marinade. I had a nice glass of red with it, a solid pairing. You can tell they care about the food.

Stopped in after skating on a Bills game day. The vibe was pretty good. We shared the bases loaded nachos with chili - they were decent. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive.

No wait for lunch, which was nice. The chicken parm sub was solid, and the garlic parm fries were the real star. They were crispy and loaded with flavor. Portions are definitely generous.

The staff really knows their stuff. Asked about the wine pairing for the lamb shank, and the server&#39;s suggestion was spot-on. Made picking the right drink simple.

The owner gave my little cousin the cutest little teddy bear! 🧸 It was such a sweet moment. The whole place just felt really warm and welcoming because of that. Made our girls&#39; lunch feel extra cozy.

The bartender was really good, even when it got busy. The Pinot Grigio was nice, and my food was pretty tasty. I&#39;ll probably try the baklava next time.

Been a regular for years, and their ice cream is always rich and consistent. The inventive flavors are a real treat. I just wish they had a simple dessert wine or port on the menu to pair with it&mdash;that would be perfect.

Been coming here for years, love the all-day breakfast. Their lamb chops are seriously good for the price. Tender, cooked just right. Only thing is they don&#39;t take cards, so come prepared with cash.

Our server was so chill when a huge group walked in. Our food still came out fast and tasted great, even with the kitchen slammed. Perfect for when you&#39;re out with friends and don&#39;t want a long wait.

I came for lunch and got the burger with Gouda and bacon jam. It was really good. The view from the table was lovely, made for a very relaxed meal.

Came with a group and the portions were huge, we ended up sharing a couple of pastas. My gluten-free spaghetti was actually really good! Everything came out hot and fresh. Perfect for a casual dinner with friends.

The patio has a nice view of the river, especially at dusk.

Stopped by for a quick bite. The hummus with fresh pita was solid, creamy and smooth. The crispy potatoes were good too, nice and crunchy. They change up the menu with the seasons, which is cool.

That Caesar salad with Spanish sardines was a nice surprise. Really fresh, and the sardines added something different. Probably the best one I&#39;ve had in a while.
