Philly cheesesteak was solid, one of the better ones I&#39;ve had. Solid craft beer list to go with it. Made for a good, quick business lunch near the office.

A nice casual spot. The hummus with fresh pita and pickles was a good start. Lamb gyro was flavorful and hit the spot. Service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it.

Angler&#39;s Trio was the move. Blackened catfish, tilapia, shrimp. All cooked just right. Catfish especially. Juicy, not dry at all. That&#39;s what I came for.

Stopped by for a beer by the lake. They had live music on a Saturday, which was a nice surprise. You can actually pull up in a boat and dock it. Pretty chill spot for an easy evening.

Solid lunch spot. Got the brisket platter, huge portions for the price. Came with two sides, more than enough for a quick bite. Got in and out fast. 👍

Stopped by Louie&#39;s for brunch. The SCB burger was solid, bacon jam was a nice touch. Added an egg, got a carafe of mimosa. Good vibe for a lazy Saturday.

As a celiac, I&#39;m always nervous eating out. Their gluten-free toast is a real treat, and the staff actually understands cross-contamination. They changed gloves and used a separate toaster. It&#39;s rare to feel this safe. A bit pricey for toast, but worth it for the peace of mind.

Lewis at the counter was on it. Made the whole thing smooth. You can tell he actually cares about the job.

The little gift shop is a nice touch. Grabbed a bottle of their house wine while browsing. It was a decent red, went okay with the steak later. Prices were fair. Made the wait feel shorter.

Good spot for food and drinks. Gets very loud on game days, hard to have a conversation. Service was solid.

Server knew the menu inside out, even gave us some local tips. Steaks were cooked just right, no complaints there. Cocktails were solid too. Good spot if you want someone who really knows their stuff.

Nice spot by the river. The view was the main event for sure, saw a bald eagle swoop down and snatch a fish right out of the water while we were eating. Pretty cool. Food was decent, nothing crazy.

Great beer list, and the lighting is just right for a relaxed evening. My IPA paired nicely with the vibe.

Cozy spot with a fun treehouse vibe. We tried one of the heated igloos outside on a chilly night. It was a nice touch, kept us warm. The igloo itself was clean and the setup was cute. Made a regular dinner feel a bit more fun.

Been coming here for years, and that tomato basil soup never changes. Still hits the spot every single time.

Quick lunch spot. Falafel and chicken shawarma are solid. Gets packed with students around noon, so the line moves a bit slow. Still, got my order in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a fast bite between meetings.

The pasta is fresh, you can tell. Grace knew the menu inside out and suggested a dish I&rsquo;d never have picked. It was spot on. A bit of a wait for the table, but the food itself came out quick.

Nice spot for a casual meal. The high ceilings make it feel open and airy, which I liked. Grabbed a seat on the patio in the afternoon sun, no wait. Just a simple, easy lunch.

They make the guac right at your table. So fresh. Best I&#39;ve had, hands down. That&#39;s the whole show.

Been coming here for years after my appointments. Always grab their chocolate mousse to go. It&rsquo;s just the right size, never too sweet. The consistency is spot-on every single time. That&rsquo;s why I keep coming back.

Their happy hour double-pour wine is such a solid deal. I just sat at the bar, sipped on that, and watched the light change outside. It was exactly the kind of low-key, cozy vibe I needed.

Food came out fast, which was nice. The kitchen did miss our appetizer order, but our server was on it. She took it off the bill without any fuss. Solid service there.

We booked the private room for our group, which was nice and roomy. The food was really good, plenty of it, and the desserts were a highlight. Our server was great&mdash;she even snapped a photo of our whole table for us.
