First time here for my wife&#39;s BDay/Father&#39;s Day, I ordered Steak au poivre which was undercooked and lacked any peppercorns- the au poivre part mind you! Service was extremely slow for us and several other tables spoke of that as well. Prices were Litchfield - very expensive. Several friends had recommended the Grille previously but have since stopped going there due to meagre quality and quantity issues. I have 10 years of high end a la carte food service in both front/back of the house and do not recommend dining here.

I was really impressed by their strawberry Bellini mocktail. It had that perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it paired surprisingly well with the rich pasta I ordered. A great option when you&#39;re not drinking but still want something special with your meal.

The four cheese pasta was rich and creamy, just right. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered. But the real star was dessert&mdash;the salted caramel cheesecake was incredible. I&#39;d go back just for that slice.

Found this spot on Pratt Street. The Irish stew was pretty good, hearty and flavorful. Staff is friendly, they remembered my name from a previous visit. A bit on the pricier side, but a solid choice for a decent meal.

Came in near closing, staff didn&#39;t rush us at all. That was nice. The burger was the real story though. Patty was juicy, cheese was melted just right, and the brioche bun held up. Could&#39;ve used a bit more seasoning in the meat.

The boneless wings and shrimp are always solid. I like that the bar area is separate, so it&#39;s quieter than other chain restaurants.

The burger was juicy and flavorful. I had it with the French onion soup, which was fantastic. The booth seating was comfortable and made for a really nice, relaxed lunch.

Tried the calamari and grilled chicken sandwich for dinner. Calamari was light, not greasy at all. Sandwich was seasoned just right. Service was quick and friendly. Solid spot.

The samosas and butter naan were great. The booths were really comfortable, which made for a relaxed meal.

The bar was perfect for a quick solo dinner. Bartenders were friendly, and my martini was spot on. It&rsquo;s a nice, lively spot to unwind after work.

Sitting at the bar was the best part. Chelsea and Kyle made a great espresso martini and suggested the coconut cream pie&mdash;so rich and creamy.

The waiter was really on top of things, kept my water glass full and checked in just enough. Friendly guy, didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. That kind of service makes a meal.

That garlic bread starter is so good. Really crispy, lots of garlic flavor. The marinara for dipping had a nice tang to it. The Brussels sprouts were a solid side, too.

Randy was great, super chill. The mac and cheese bites were incredible. But the Cajun voodoo pasta portion felt a bit small for the price, especially as a main. Still good for a date night.

Been coming for years, and the veggie gyoza is always solid. A reliable spot.

Solid pizza. But the chicken tacos are the real deal. Fresh ingredients, really good. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll be coming back for.

Been coming here for years, their eggs Benedict never disappoints. The hollandaise is always spot on, eggs are poached just right. For the price, you get a solid portion that keeps me full till dinner. A good deal for what you get.

Love the vibe here for happy hour. $9 small plates and $5 wines are a solid deal. The live jazz band was a nice touch, really adds to the relaxed atmosphere.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. The pizza crust is super crispy, just how I like it. Got my slice and a drink in under 5 minutes. The small shop has some chill jazz playing, which is a nice bonus. Exactly what I need on a busy day.

Love the old-school vibe here, feels like stepping back in time. The service is always friendly and efficient, which makes for a really relaxed meal.

The Turkish coffee is definitely the highlight. Small cups, but the flavor is so rich and intense. You can tell they use really fresh, high-quality beans. A perfect little treat after a meal.

The burger and fries were spot on, and our server was really attentive. It&rsquo;s definitely pricier than your average diner though. I did appreciate their short but thoughtful wine list&mdash;found a nice red that paired well. Just know you&rsquo;re paying for the quality.

Spacious inside and out, and they&rsquo;ve got a big private lot. That alone makes it a solid pick when you just don&rsquo;t want to hunt for parking.

Been coming here for years. The owner still walks around to say hello and ask how things are. It&#39;s a small thing, but you don&#39;t see that much anymore. Makes it feel like a neighborhood spot.

Booked ahead and got seated right away on a packed night. The noise level was a bit much when the place filled up.

Love coming here with friends! The vibe is perfect for catching up, even if you&#39;re not ordering drinks. The music&#39;s just right for conversation. Food&#39;s always on point. My only note is that the tables are a bit close together, so it can feel a little crowded when it&#39;s busy.

Their chai and matcha lattes are top-tier. Got my usual oat milk matcha today, and it&rsquo;s just so smooth and not too sweet. Really hits the spot. The coffee drinks are always solid too, never a miss.

Been coming here for years. Their smoked then fried chicken wings are the real deal. Got the hot honey flavor last time, crispy outside, juicy inside. Just the right amount of heat and sweet. Keeps me coming back.

Cozy stone walls and a fireplace set the mood. We had a nice bottle of Malbec that went perfectly with the steak. A solid spot to unwind after a long day.
