Grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and bacon was solid. Fish tacos had fresh, lightly fried cod. Service was efficient, got our order quickly. A bit pricey for what it is, but convenient for a quick business lunch nearby.

Wood-fired pizza was solid, pepperoni in particular. Fresh and hot. Service was efficient, got our order in and out quickly for a business lunch. Convenient spot near the office.

Saturday night vibes were on point with live music. The place was packed, but our server kept things moving. Tried a flight of their flavored whiskeys &ndash; the maple one was a fun surprise.

Stopped in on a whim. The carbonara was so good, creamy and rich with just the right amount of pepper. My husband is still talking about the pizza. A really lovely, unexpected find.

They brought out a little cake for my birthday, which was a nice touch. The staff was really friendly and didn&#39;t rush us at all.

The staff are super nice and helpful when you&#39;re trying to pick something from the menu. It makes going out with friends way less stressful.

Christian was great. Knew all about my allergies, handled everything perfectly. Felt safe ordering here.

Stopped by for a drink and some apps. The vibe was lively, cool vintage interior. Nachos were solid, margarita hit the spot. A bit loud for a quiet chat, but good energy.

Cozy little spot with a nice neighborhood feel. The tables are comfortable and not too close together, which I appreciate.

Loved the tasting menu concept. Picking any three dishes for a set price is such a fun way to order. The bluefish was a standout, and the venison was cooked just right. A nice, relaxed way to try a few things.

Came here on a Friday, it&#39;s close by. The hummus plate was massive! Honestly, it could easily be a meal for two. For the price, the portion size really stood out. Everything else was tasty and service was quick.

Server was super friendly and knew the menu well. They suggested a nice red that went perfectly with the steak. The free cotton candy at the end was a fun surprise, my wife loved it. Good service makes a difference.

Nice spot for a date. The rustic decor with all the plants makes it feel inviting. Food was decent, service was prompt. Prices are reasonable for the area. Might be a bit tight when it&#39;s busy.

The sourdough with rosemary butter was a standout. Really liked the crust and the butter had a nice, subtle herb flavor. The hand-cut fries were good too, crispy and the black pepper mayo was a nice touch. Solid start to the meal.

The fried calamari is a solid choice. Really crispy, not greasy at all. Got it as a quick bite during my lunch break. Service was fast, which is what I needed.

Cozy spot with an ocean view, nice for a casual bite after the beach. The burger was good, but honestly, for $24 I was expecting a bit more on the plate. Fries were fine, just not a huge portion.

The bartenders are always so friendly, really makes you feel welcome. Just stopped in for a drink at the bar and had a nice, relaxed time.

Love the tradition of adding dollar bills to the walls and ceiling. It gives the place a really cool, lived-in vibe.

Ethan was a great server, really knew his stuff. He suggested a nice red to go with the steak, which was a solid call. The whole team seemed on it.

Breakfast spot at Hampton Beach never disappoints. Staff is super nice and the food is always solid.

Just the two of us for the omakase. Chef Chris prepared each piece right at our table. You could really see the focus on the quality of the fish and rice. The tuna was incredibly fresh, and the rice had a perfect, subtle warmth. It felt very authentic.

The menu here is huge! I was torn between the shakshuka and the sweet pancakes. Went with the shakshuka and it was so flavorful, perfectly spiced. My friend got the French toast and it looked amazing too. Definitely a spot where you can find something you&#39;ll like.

That fried chicken and biscuit came in a little box, which was a fun detail. Chicken was juicy, biscuit was flaky. The whole food court spot felt clean, which is a plus. Solid lunch.

Came in for a quick dinner. The vibe was lively, which I liked. Got the salmon entree&mdash;it was pretty good. Tried a couple sushi rolls too, but they were just okay. Entrees are the move here.

Server was on point tonight. Super friendly, remembered our drink refills without asking. Suggested the pork belly special, which was spot on. Made the whole vibe just right.

The brisket and cheese spring rolls were a great start, super crispy. The Pitmaster platter for two was the real star though. The meat was so tender it just fell apart. A solid spot for BBQ.

The bang bang shrimp taco was really good, the shrimp had a nice crisp to it. The tortilla was fantastic too. I just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, the chairs are a little hard for a longer meal.

I&#39;m a regular for the eggs Benedict. The French toast is pretty fluffy, and the breakfast egg rolls have a nice consistency. I like trying their different spicy sauces on the side. It&#39;s a solid spot for brunch.

Tried their Italian-Latino fusion menu last night. The pasta with chorizo was interesting, a bit spicy but the sauce was rich. The arancini were crispy outside, creamy inside. Solid spot for something different.
