Tried the tuna tower and shrimp limoncello. Both were solid, fresh options. The G cosmo cocktail was a good start to the meal. Service was prompt, which I appreciate when I&#39;m on a business lunch schedule.

Grabbed the Mac Daddy platter on my lunch break. Fried seafood was hot and fresh, came out super fast. Exactly what I needed for a quick bite.

Still our favorite in town. We always try to get seats at the bar when we can. Got there right at opening last time and snagged two spots. The burger was cooked just right, and the fries were crispy. Solid wine by the glass, too.

The garlic naan was so fresh and fluffy. I really appreciated the generous amount of fresh garlic on top, you could tell it was just minced. It paired perfectly with my simple dal.

Solid egg white scramble, good for a quick, healthy bite.

Found this spot for authentic Portuguese food. The seafood stew was rich and satisfying. Their wine list had a nice Portuguese red that paired perfectly with it. The Pastel de nata was a great finish. A solid meal.

First time here and the seafood pie was a real find. So much lobster and scallop in there, plus haddock and shrimp. Felt like a solid deal for what you get.

The old train station vibe here is pretty cool. I snagged a window seat and just liked watching the world go by while I ate. It&#39;s a nice change from the usual.

Always find something new on the menu. Their wine list has some interesting pairings that really work with the seasonal dishes.

Been coming here for years, and the kitchen never misses. Even with a big group, every dish is just spot on.

The cafeteria line is a fun throwback. I could see the food being scooped right at the steam table before I even ordered. It was quick and the whole setup felt efficient. The portion for the price was solid, I left full without spending too much.

Busy Saturday night, but service was on point. Server checked in regularly, water glasses stayed full, and the bill arrived promptly when we were ready. Good to see a place that handles a full house efficiently.

The clam chowder was spot-on, creamy and packed with flavor. Paired it with a crisp local lager, which cut through the richness perfectly. The clam cakes were good, maybe a touch dense for my taste. Solid spot for the classics.

The tiramisu was a nice finish. It wasn&#39;t overly sweet, which I liked, and the texture was really light and airy. You could definitely taste the coffee.

The hummus wrap was a nice surprise, fresh and packed with flavor. The oat milk dirty chai was a cozy touch on a chilly afternoon. Just a quiet, simple spot to unwind.

Shea was a great server, really knew the menu and checked in just enough. The Portuguese-Caribbean seafood dishes were interesting, tried the grilled octopus. A solid spot.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. The gobi Manchurian appetizer was the highlight, really tasty. Service was fast, got my order in and out quickly. Perfect for a short break.

Grabbed the trio appetizer to go. Everything was still crispy and packed with flavor. 👍

The baked stuffed clams are a real treat for seafood lovers. The stuffing is great and there are plenty of clams. The booth seating was comfortable, which made for a relaxed start to the meal.

The scotch egg was cooked just right - crispy outside, perfect inside. Service stayed friendly even on a packed night.

The clam chowder is a must-try. It&#39;s among the best I&#39;ve had. The fries are also excellent&mdash;served hot and crispy, with no broken pieces.

The Lexie Burger was solid, but those fries are the real star. Super crispy and just salty enough. Perfect for a quick lunch.

Been coming here for years, and the pizza&#39;s always on point. The crust has that perfect crisp, and they never mess up an order. Just a solid, reliable neighborhood spot.

Solid spot for a casual bite. The loaded fries and Nana&#39;s Meatballs were on point. It&#39;s reliable for standard bar food, though the service was a bit slow during the lunch rush.

Perfect for a quick breakfast. The staff is friendly and service is fast. Grabbed a coffee and a breakfast sandwich to go. The coffee was surprisingly good for a place like this, really hit the spot.

I really appreciate the vegan and gluten-free choices here. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the portions were quite generous for what you pay. It&#39;s nice to find a place that makes it easy to eat well.

The eggplant stack appetizer was good, but for $18 I expected a bigger portion. It&#39;s literally just three thick slices with cheese. Tasty, but felt a bit light for the price.
