Came for a late bite with friends and the staff was so chill about it, even though they were closing soon. Got the grilled chicken wrap - it hit the spot. Perfect for a casual hangout.

Been coming here for years. The thin crust is always crispy, and I like that they have pesto as an option. They don&#39;t skimp on toppings either, plenty of spinach and those red peppers are really good. Solid choice for a quick dinner.

The crab-stuffed salmon was my pick. Really appreciated how generous they were with the crab meat&mdash;it tasted so fresh, no filler at all. The salmon itself was cooked just right. A solid choice for a healthy, satisfying meal.

The crab shack vibe is exactly what I was hoping for. Brown paper on the tables, cold beer, and that busy energy. It&#39;s a comfortable spot for a relaxed meal. The servers were really friendly and kept things moving, which I appreciated.

Menu&#39;s small but solid. Shrimp paccheri was good. Mushroom bolognese too. The hummus starter was the best part, really liked it.

Been coming here for years. The menu keeps things interesting. You&#39;ve got your solid pastrami, corned beef, but they also throw in new stuff. Keeps me from getting bored.

The staff here really knows their stuff. Asked for a wine pairing suggestion and got a spot-on recommendation that matched the lamb perfectly. They&#39;re attentive without hovering. Makes a difference.

The upstairs seating has a nice view of the park. Good for getting some work done. Coffee&#39;s definitely better than most places around here.

Validated parking in the nearby garage is a lifesaver in Ballston. Grabbed a quick lunch and didn&#39;t have to stress about circling for a spot. Makes the whole thing way easier.

Adam was a great server, really friendly and on top of things. Food came out fast even though it was packed.

Been coming here for years, and the stuffed cabbage is still the same generous portion. That spiced meat and tomato sauce just hit the spot every time.

Finally tried the lentil burger after hearing about it for ages. It&rsquo;s got this great texture and the fries were crispy. Just a solid, cozy spot for a casual bite.

As a vegetarian, I was really happy with the menu here. They had a whole section just for us, which is pretty rare. My wife doesn&#39;t eat fish either and she found a few things she liked. The grilled halloumi salad was a solid choice.

Great Bollywood vibes and super creative decor. The space is just visually fun, really sets a lively mood. Perfect spot for a group dinner or celebrating something.

Been coming here for years, and they&rsquo;ve always been great with private events. We booked the downstairs room for a family gathering before a funeral. Staff made everything simple, no stress. The room worked perfectly for our group.

Jasmine&#39;s wine pairing suggestion was spot on. It really brought out the flavors in the ribeye and the ceviche. Chef Gregoria&#39;s cooking was solid. The cr&egrave;me br&ucirc;l&eacute;e was a nice finish, though a bit sweet for my taste.

The shaded courtyard is such a peaceful spot. I had their smoked salmon brioche there for a late breakfast. It was fresh and tasty, and the whole vibe was just really relaxed. A nice place to unwind for a bit.

The bread basket was nice to start. I had the Caesar salad and pasta - both were pretty good. The chicken portion was generous. Service was attentive, though the pacing felt a bit slow between courses. A solid dinner overall.

The service here is solid. Staff is professional and attentive without being overbearing. They kept the water glasses full and cleared plates promptly.

The sommelier really knew his stuff. He suggested a perfect wine for each of our small plates, which was a game-changer. Staff was super friendly too. Made the whole tasting experience way better.

Family-friendly spot with indoor and outdoor seating. The kids menu is limited, but my little one enjoyed the grilled chicken. I appreciated that it seemed freshly made, not just reheated. Parking downtown was easy.

The tavern burger was solid, but honestly, the portion of fries for the price was the real win. Came with a huge basket, crispy and salty. My kid didn&#39;t even finish his, so I got extra. That&#39;s what I call value.

Caught the game here. TVs everywhere, which was perfect. The beer list is solid, nothing crazy. Vibe was lively, maybe a bit loud for a quiet chat, but that&#39;s the point. Good spot for the energy.

The patio is huge, really nice for a group. Had a couple beers and the burger there last weekend. Staff was on it, kept the waters filled. Place looks good after the refresh.

Service was solid. Our server knew the menu well and helped us pick. Got our food fast, which was key for a quick lunch. No complaints there.

Rigat behind the bar is the best. My chicken panini was solid, crispy outside and the chicken was actually moist. Felt like a regular even on my first visit. A good neighborhood spot.

Service was quick and friendly. Eduardo and Francisco were on top of things. Got my order in and out fast, which is exactly what I need on a short lunch break.

Been coming here for years, love that it&#39;s still family-run. Their homemade vanilla is the real deal. A bit pricier now, but you taste the quality. Grabbed a scoop after dinner last night, simple and good.
