The red curry with tofu here was solid. What stood out was the amount of veggies in it&mdash;way more than I&#39;ve gotten at other places for the same price. That alone made it feel like a good deal.

Good spot for a quick bite. The yuca fries were fresh and crispy. Service was a bit slow, but fine for a casual meal.

The pupusas are spot on, just like back home. Grabbed a table early, so it was pretty chill. Their house margarita is a solid pairing, not too sweet. Service was quick and friendly. Good spot for a casual bite.

Been coming here for years. They&#39;ve always got water bowls out for the dogs, and even sell treats. The walls are covered in photos of local pups, which is a nice touch. Makes the whole place feel like a neighborhood hangout.

Love their double-walled cups for takeaway! The espresso takes a minute, but you can tell they really care about each drink.

The vegan turkey dill havarti sandwich was a nice surprise! The cheese texture was spot-on, no weird aftertaste.

Been coming here for years, and the Juicy Lucy burger never disappoints. That molten cheese center is always spot-on. Also, you gotta get the fried pickles &ndash; perfectly crispy and tangy. The cheese curds are solid, too.

The server was so nice and helpful. She suggested a few dishes we wouldn&#39;t have tried otherwise, and they were spot on. It really made the whole dinner feel effortless and enjoyable.

Bulgogi and marinated ribs were spot on&mdash;really tender and packed with flavor. The BBQ portions were decent, not huge but enough for a solid meal. Just a heads up, the side dishes were a bit basic today.

Cozy basement with comfy couches is the best spot. Grabbed a latte and just chilled with my book for an hour. Felt nice to unwind.

Solid spot for a quick business lunch. The family-style seating is efficient for group discussions. Menu has a good variety, and the service was prompt. Prices are reasonable for the area. Convenient location near the office.

Got here right before closing and they were super nice about it. No rush at all. But the real star was the hash browns &mdash; honestly the best I&#39;ve ever had. Crispy and golden all the way through.

Been coming here for years, and the patio is why. It&#39;s just a chill spot to unwind. My go-to is always the fish and chips. The fish is consistently fresh and hot, and that house-made tartar sauce is the real deal.

The staff is so friendly and patient, which makes dining here a really comfortable experience.

The veggie burger was solid, patty had a nice char. My friend&#39;s mushroom risotto was creamy but could&#39;ve used more seasoning. Staff was friendly, they checked in just enough. Good spot for a casual dinner.

Solid spot for a quick lunch in Excelsior. Ordered the sashimi platter. Fish was fresh, cuts were generous. Got my food fast, which is key for me. Place was pretty chill too. No fuss, just a good, quick bite.

Love the big screens and the communal tables here. It&#39;s such a fun, lively spot to grab a beer with friends. The energy is just right for hanging out.

Been coming here for years, and their mocktails are always on point. The non-alcoholic options are seriously thoughtful. Had the adobo pork ribs again last night, and they were just as good as I remember. That consistency keeps me coming back.

The lobster roll was solid. I grabbed it right before closing, and the guy at the counter was still super chill about it. The hot sauce they have on the side is a nice touch. Quick, easy bite.

That pimento cheese breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel is a must. The flavors really work. Had it with a strong black coffee, which cut through the richness nicely. A solid start to the day.

As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options. The flavors were well-balanced and everything tasted fresh. A solid spot for plant-based eats.

Good spot for gluten-free. Had the lentil dishes, flavors were solid. Nice to have options that don&#39;t rely on flour.

The smashed onion burger was cooked just right, and the portion was generous. We started with the perogis and deviled eggs, which were a nice touch. The service was friendly and made the whole meal feel very relaxed.

The outdoor seating is so nice. It&#39;s a popular spot, so it can get crowded on weekends.

Been here a few times now. The burger and grilled chicken salad sandwich are always hot and come out quickly. What really makes it a nice, easy meal is how friendly the staff is.

The whole kitchen is gluten-free, which is a huge relief. Menu&#39;s creative and they actually pull it off.

Connie&#39;s a great server, really on top of things. She even brought us a dessert with a candle, which was a nice touch.

Woodfire salmon was solid, big portion with sprouts and potatoes. Got the Saturday shrimp special too, sauce was nice. Just a bit pricey for what it was.
