Came here for a casual dinner downstairs. The burger was huge, honestly could have split it with someone. Fries were a generous portion too. Felt like a good deal for what you get.

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.

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

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.

Came here on a rainy evening. The sushi selection was impressive. What really stood out was the freshness of the fish&mdash;you could really taste it. The tuna and salmon were particularly good. A solid, healthy choice for a cozy night in.

Huge portions here. Got the loaded fries and a pepperoni pizza. Couldn&#39;t finish it all, had a whole box of leftovers. Good bang for your buck.

Great spot for groups. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for a long lunch with friends. Food came out quick, which was a plus. Could be a bit loud inside when it&#39;s full.

Always my go-to spot in Iowa City. The menu&#39;s huge, and they get your food out in like 5 minutes flat. Honestly, it&#39;s way better than you&#39;d expect for something that fast.

They took care of our big group without any fuss. The space is really open and the tables are spread out nicely, so it never felt crowded even with a full house. We shared the fish nuggets and crab Rangoon dip easily.

The breakfast was fantastic, but the portions were a bit small. Loved the quaint downtown vibe though!

Sam was on it all night. Refilled my water before I even noticed it was low, checked in just enough without hovering. That kind of attention makes a difference.

The group room was perfect for our big lunch. It felt private but still had a nice, airy vibe. The mango sticky rice was a great way to end it.

Jessica and Rachel were so attentive and kind. They remembered our drink orders, checked in without being intrusive, and just made the whole evening really nice. That kind of thoughtful service is a rare treat.

The pho broth here has such a deep, savory flavor. I always get extra bean sprouts and herbs to pile on top&mdash;the fresh crunch against the soft noodles is the best part.

One of the few downtown spots open before 7am. Their coffee is solid, and the pastries are fresh. I just wish they had a bit more variety in their drink menu&mdash;maybe a rotating single-origin option. The vibe is good for a quiet morning.

Lobster and corn pizza is my go-to for a quick bite. The wood-fired crust is always nicely charred.

Nice spot to catch a game. The Hawkeyes stuff gives it a chill, local vibe. Music wasn&#39;t too loud, could actually talk to my friend.

The Philly cheesesteak and sweet potato fries were fantastic. The house red was a surprisingly good pairing for such a hearty meal.

The Italian beef was really tasty, and I appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted. The aviation theme is a fun bonus!

Nice spot for a casual business lunch. The historic decor and antiques give it a real neighborhood pub feel. Service was efficient, got in and out in under an hour. Solid choice for a straightforward meal downtown.

The tasting menu portions were just right, and the pork belly was cooked perfectly. Very comfortable spot for a relaxed meal.

The burger was really juicy and cooked just right. I appreciated the comfortable booth seating, made it easy to relax. The fries were crispy and went nicely with their honey mustard. A solid, straightforward meal.

Been coming here for years, and the arcade games are still the main draw for me. Missile Command and the TMNT machine feel like the real deal, just like I remember. Always brings back that 90s arcade vibe.

Hosted a group dinner here last week. Staff handled our big table well, no fuss. The space worked for our crowd. Food was solid, drinks kept coming. Good for events.

The burger was cooked just right, medium-rare and juicy. The bacon was crispy, and the brioche bun held everything together without getting soggy. That&#39;s what I come for.

Had the loaded potato soup on the patio. They had a heater going, which was nice. Soup was really creamy and rich, just the right amount of toppings. Service was quick and friendly.
