Decent grilled chicken spot. Meat was juicy and well-marinated. Service was attentive too. Portion size felt a little small for the price, but overall fine.

The apple dessert was the real highlight&mdash;sweet but not too heavy. I had it with a glass of Riesling and it worked surprisingly well. Korean mains were solid, though they&rsquo;ve clearly dialed back the heat for local tastes. Service stayed friendly even when the place got busy. I&rsquo;d come back just for that dessert again.

Nice rooftop spot with a small fountain and greenery. Quiet enough to actually have a conversation. Good break from the noise downstairs. Service was fine, nothing special.

Solid pour-over. Nepali beans, high altitude stuff, really clean taste. Iced coffee was smooth too. Place is small but fine for a quick stop. Coffee quality is the main thing here, and they get it right. Nothing fancy, just good coffee.

Ramen was solid, big bowl and the pork was really tender. Got the katsudon too, decent but the ramen&rsquo;s the one to get. Green tea ice cream was a nice way to end. Place was busy but food came quick. Good spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and hungry.

The open momos are still as good as always. That peanut sauce hasn&#39;t changed one bit. Cheese balls were a solid side too. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints.

Came here for dinner last week. The greenery and the whole boho-brutalist mix really stands out. Felt like I wasn&#39;t in the city anymore. Evening lights make it even better. Just sat there longer than I planned. Food was okay, nothing crazy, but the vibe carried it.

Stopped by for a quick bite and the place has that no-fuss vibe. Seating&#39;s basic but fine for a short meal. Had the chicken curry&mdash;decent heat, not too heavy. The rice was a bit dry though. Portion size felt fair for the price. Nothing fancy, but it did the job for a casual lunch.

The steam buff momo was solid, and I liked trying the different chutneys with it. Prices felt fair for what you get. A decent spot for a quick bite, though I wish they had a better wine option to go with the spice.

Really liked that they let us customize the pizza&mdash;half without sauce for my kid, no questions asked. That kind of flexibility goes a long way. I had a glass of their house red with mine, and it paired nicely with the margherita. Place was a bit busy, but the staff handled it fine.

Tried the smoked salmon steak and honestly the portion caught me off guard&mdash;way bigger than most places. Fish was fresh, cooked just right. The space is airy too, not cramped like other restaurants around here. Manager came by to check if everything was okay, which was nice. Juices were solid, though I wish they had more options.

Stopped here for a quick bite since it&#39;s right on the main square. Coffee was decent, nothing fancy but did the job. Service was friendly and fast, which I appreciate when I&#39;m on a short break. View&#39;s nice if you grab a seat outside. Good spot for a quick stop, nothing more.

Stopped by for a quick bite around noon. Got the red bean paste bread and some tofu. Bread was soft, filling not too sweet. Tofu had that fresh, homemade taste. Place has been here for years, you can tell. Service was fast, in and out in ten minutes. Good spot if you need something light and quick.
