The fried banana cheesecake is why I keep coming back.

No reservation on a Saturday night, but they found us a spot at the bar. The steak was cooked just right, really hit the spot. Service was good, no complaints.

The Reuben is a standout. That grilled pastrami on rye with a cup of tomato soup just hits the spot for lunch. Love the cozy, mom-and-pop feel in here.

The mahi tacos are the reason I keep coming back. Fish is always cooked right, not overdone. The jicama slaw and mango salsa add a nice crunch and sweetness. The wasabi cream gives it a subtle kick. Solid choice for a quick business lunch.

The soup sells out so fast. Got lucky and snagged the last bowl today. That&rsquo;s the reason I keep coming back. Just a perfect little treat.

Portions are huge, we always end up with leftovers for lunch. The shrimp polenta is the star for me &mdash; so creamy and rich. A bit heavy, but totally worth it.

Loved the patio, my dog was welcome too. The hummus appetizer came with a nice spread of sides. Pizza was a solid thin-crust Italian style. Good spot for a casual bite outside.

The staff handled our big group so well. Appetizers, main course, dessert&mdash;everything came out at just the right time. Made the whole evening feel relaxed.

Marlee at the bar really knows her stuff. The corned beef sandwich was spot-on, just like I remember from my last trip to the city.

The happy hour is solid, and that $15 margarita pitcher is a nice touch. I found the booths in the back corner to be really comfortable for just relaxing with a drink.

The pepperoni pizza was pretty good, and the pretzel was decent too. Friendly staff, but the place got a bit loud later on.

The garlic naan here is a must-order. It came out hot and bubbly from the tandoor, with just the right amount of garlic and butter. I could honestly make a meal out of it alone. The rest of the buffet looked solid, but that naan stole the show for me.

Been coming here for years, and I always get the flight of four. It&#39;s the move if you&#39;re into their wild flavors&mdash;cereal milk, chocolate cayenne, you name it. Lets me try the new stuff without the risk.

Met up with an old colleague here. The pizza crust was nicely charred, and the wings had a solid kick to them. Game was on the big screen, which was a nice touch. Server was on point. Good spot for a casual catch-up.

Came for a casual dinner by the river. The cauliflower bites were solid, but the real star was the house red they suggested. It paired surprisingly well with the veggie burger, which had a nice char. A bit pricey for the portion, but the drink made it work.

Stopped in for Sunday breakfast. The pancakes were fluffy and the bacon crispy. Coffee kept coming. Felt like a classic diner, just what I needed.

We were wandering around Grandin and just had to follow that incredible smell. The Great Italia sandwich was so good, the bread was perfect. The calzone was a real treat too. Really nice, comfortable spot to take a break.

Nice clean spot. The portion for the pasta was a bit small for the price.

Been a veggie for years and this is my go-to spot. The dishes are always fresh and they&rsquo;re super chill about allergies. Portions are generous for the price, which is a big deal for me. I never leave hungry.

The service here was so pleasant. Our server, Ryan, took the time to explain the sourcing of the local greens in my salad. Miranda checked in later, just to see if the dressing was to my liking. That level of attention to the ingredients made the meal.

I appreciate the staff&#39;s thoughtful recommendations on the local beers. They really know their taps.

We had our baby shower here. The team handled everything, super responsive. Food was good, pricing fair. Made it easy for us.

The chai tea was incredible, honestly the best I&#39;ve had. It had just the right spice and warmth. A fantastic pairing with the Chicken Vindaloo and garlic naan. The whole meal came together with that final cup.

Great spot with a fun vibe. The live band was solid, and their house red actually paired nicely with the charcuterie board.

Tried the Tuesday line dancing. Lively crowd, good energy. Music was solid. Had a couple drinks, stayed longer than planned. Fun spot for a casual weeknight out.
