The new soft shell crab in Thai coconut curry was so good! Perfect for sharing with friends, the curry had this really nice depth to it. We just kept dipping our extra rice in it. 😋

The lobster roll was solid, mayo and dill with a good crunch. The fish and chips had that light, flaky batter I like. What really stood out was the family running the place&mdash;super pleasant and made the whole vibe feel welcoming.

Had a quick lunch meeting here. The club&#39;s historic setting is impressive, but the real win was the speed. Got a solid sandwich and salad, and we were in and out in under an hour. Perfect for a busy day.

Love the retro vibe here! The counter seating is great for watching them cook, and I appreciate seeing how fresh the ingredients look.

Came for dinner and got the pasta alla Norma and shrimp scampi. The food was good, but the portions were on the smaller side for the price. We ended up grabbing desserts to go from their store, which was nice. Just wish there was a bit more on the plate.

The fried zucchini and carne asada were good, but the portions felt a bit small for the price. I did love the whole wheat bread they bring to the table, though.

A pretty good spot for a casual dinner. The vibe is lively and fun, though it does get quite loud when it&#39;s busy in the evenings. I had a decent time.

Service here is seriously on point. Our server was so sweet and helpful - she even noticed my friend&#39;s jacket button was loose and quietly offered a quick fix. Made our girls&#39; night feel extra special.

The potato pancakes were a solid choice for breakfast. Really crispy outside and the flavor was on point.

Dua and the team were really nice. They made sure we were taken care of, and even gave the kids some cookies, which was a thoughtful gesture. Service was attentive without being overbearing. A solid spot.

The St. Anthony&#39;s pizza with sausage was a real standout. Generous slices, and the fennel in the sausage came through nicely. Paired it with a local red that worked surprisingly well. Could&#39;ve been a touch crispier on the bottom, but no real complaints.

Nice covered patio with plants and TVs. Good spot for drinks and appetizers. The fried pickles and chicken fingers were solid.

The burgers were cooked just right, juicy and not dry at all. But the real star was the ranch dressing&mdash;so creamy and herby, I ended up dipping my fries in it too.

Service was prompt and friendly. Our server was attentive without hovering, which I appreciate. They checked in at the right times and handled the bill quickly. A solid experience on that front.

Grabbed a quick burger and a beer here. Solid classic burger, cooked just right. Place is bright and clean, staff were chill. Got my food in like 10 minutes, perfect for a lunch break.

Love the deck seating here, you can actually hear the waves while you eat. Had the lobster roll, it was solid. The meat was fresh and the bun was buttery, just the way it should be. A bit pricey, but that&#39;s the waterfront for you.

Cozy dark spot. Curry chips were solid, crispy fries with a nice curry sauce. The whiskey chicken panini was good too, filling. Staff stayed friendly even when slammed.

Quick lunch spot. Staff is friendly and efficient, tables are always clean. They explained the cooking process when I asked, which was cool. Got my food fast and was out the door. Perfect for a quick bite.

This spot is tiny and quirky, but I keep coming back. Got the eggs with smoked salmon and caramelized onions on a bolo today. The sauce on it was just right, not too heavy. Owners are always so nice.

Service was really nice - they checked in just enough but never rushed us. Felt relaxed the whole time, could actually enjoy the conversation.

The thin-crust pizza was a real find. The edges had this great crunch with a hint of basil. We also tried the fried mozzarella, which was a solid side. A good spot for a casual bite.

Valerie the hostess had the best smile. Our server Amos was super sweet and attentive even though they were packed. I tried the steak and sushi option - the scallops in the spaghettini were fantastic.

The chicha morada was a really nice, refreshing drink. I also liked that they had a good selection of Peruvian beers and juices to choose from. It made for a relaxed and easy choice while I was waiting for my food.

Been a regular for years and the steak teriyaki never disappoints. It&#39;s the perfect spot to catch up with friends over a reliable, tasty meal. The scallops are always a solid choice too.

Tatte and Caffe Nero are always packed, so I came here for some quiet with my coffee. Got the affogato and a strawberry waffle. The portion on that waffle was huge, definitely enough to share. Good variety for the neighborhood.
