The cauliflower rice and garbanzo bean salad are so fresh. Love the vibe in here, it&#39;s really bright and airy.

The Bookbinder soup was really good. They brought us a nice dessert on the house, which was a pleasant surprise.

The lamb chops were cooked perfectly. Our server Magdalena was really patient with us as first-timers, answering all our menu questions without any rush. It made the whole dinner feel relaxed.

Strawberry waffle was solid. More importantly, they held my credit card after I left it. Called me right away. Quick and professional. That kind of service is appreciated.

The rotating pizza selection is great, and I appreciated being able to try a small slice of the blueberry sage. The booths are very comfortable, too.

The space is really open and clean, which I liked. Ordered takeout, and the packaging was neat. It felt comfortable just picking up my food there.

The over-medium eggs were cooked just right. Really appreciated the comfortable booths, made for a relaxed breakfast.

The chicken was really juicy, and the fries were good. I like that it&#39;s self-service, keeps things easy. The whole vibe is just... relaxed. Nice for a low-key dinner.

Isidro at the bar knows his stuff. The Samaritana with hibiscus was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Just a really solid drink.

The mushroom soup was so rich and creamy, I could&#39;ve had a second bowl. And that whipped ricotta with blueberries? Had to take the leftovers home for breakfast the next day.

Solid lunch spot downtown. Huge dining area, easy for a quick bite. Got the chicken sandwich, came out fast. Tried one of their mocktails too, decent. Good for a no-fuss meal.

Came by for happy hour, the spicy tuna and edamame were a nice little bite. The booths are super comfortable, which is a big plus for me. I could just relax and enjoy my time without feeling rushed.

Owner was super helpful with the menu. The patac&oacute;n was crispy and filling, perfect for a quick lunch. Mora juice was refreshing. Outdoor tables are a plus. Good spot for a casual meal.

The tres leches was super moist. But the real star was the maiz dessert&mdash;looked exactly like a cob of corn, which was a fun touch.

The bartender really knows his stuff. Their seasonal fried squash blossoms were a great match for the wine list. Solid patio spot.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the vegan sushi at PLANTA. The flavors were bold and the presentation was stunning, especially the Torched and Pressed sushi which was a highlight of the meal.

Love this cozy Chinatown spot! Came on a Tuesday for their half-off noodle special. The portions are huge, perfect for sharing with friends. Flavors were on point. A bit of a wait for a table, but worth it for the deal.

Huge bowl of ramen here, couldn&#39;t finish it. Broth is really good. I like that they give you the spicy paste separately so you can make it as hot as you want.

The staff was really nice. Our toddler was having a moment, and our server was so patient, even brought over a little extra bread to distract him. It&rsquo;s that kind of attention you notice. Made the whole dinner much smoother.

Solid spot for a classic Chicago Italian beef. It&#39;s a messy, juicy sandwich, just the way it should be. The meat had good flavor, and the bread held up. Got mine dipped. No frills, but hits the spot.

BYOB is a nice touch. The kimchi fried rice they make at the end was the best part for me, really tasty.

The chive crepes were perfectly crispy. The satay sauce was the best I&#39;ve had in a long time.

The bistec in salsa here is my go-to. So tender, and the maduros are just sweet enough. It&rsquo;s the perfect spot to catch up with friends over a big, comforting plate. The vibe is always relaxed, and you never feel rushed to leave.

Cash only for dining in, but they do have an ATM inside. I was craving their spicy tofu, so I just went with it. The food came out hot and hit the spot. The ATM fee was a bit of a bummer, though. Next time I&#39;ll remember to stop at the bank first.
