Seafood medley was fresh, and the sushi hit the spot. Ice cream bar had a ton of options.

The charcuterie board was the real star. The cured meats had that perfect salty bite, and the cheese selection was spot-on. Just what I needed for a midday snack.

The staff was so nice helping me order a diabetic-friendly meal without bread. Really appreciated that.

Been coming here for years. The patio is my spot - love watching the campus buzz. It&rsquo;s a great place to just hang out. Can get a bit loud inside sometimes, but that&rsquo;s part of the vibe.

Been coming here for years, and the steaks are always on point. Perfectly cooked every single time. That consistency keeps me coming back.

The sushi here is so fresh! You can really taste the quality of the fish. It&#39;s surprisingly affordable for that level of freshness. I appreciate that.

Been coming here for years, and that beef tongue sandwich is still the reason. The meat is always so tender, almost melts. That buttery flavor, just right. The sauce never overpowers it. Keeps me coming back.

Solid neighborhood spot. The broasted chicken was juicy, and the dinner salad is a huge portion for the price. Their house red was a decent, uncomplicated pairing with the chicken. Sandwiches with a side are a good deal.

Friday night fish fry is my go-to. Quick, hot, and the coleslaw is crisp. Live music was a nice touch for a solo bite. Got in and out in under 30 mins.

The Nutella croissant here. Flaky layers, buttery. The dark chocolate filling is rich, not too sweet. Reminds me of a good Parisian bakery. Ate two.

Prices are fair for what you get. The attached shop has good deals too - their hibiscus tea is a nice touch. Solid spot for a quick, tasty meal.

Love the cozy, authentic vibe here. The walls are covered in old newspaper clippings and photos &mdash; it really tells a story.

Eli at the bar is a pro. Got a Bloody Mary with a good kick to it. He&rsquo;s quick and makes you feel at ease. Perfect for a solo lunch break.

The teriyaki chicken and yakisoba were really good. Portions are definitely generous here, so you won&#39;t leave hungry. It&#39;s on the pricier side, but you&#39;re paying for the amount of food.

The bartenders are seriously impressive. They&rsquo;ve got the whole menu memorized, and my cocktail came out so fast. Plus, they&rsquo;re just genuinely nice. Really smooth operation here.

They threw in a free slice of their chocolate lava cake with my pasta order. Wasn&#39;t expecting that at all, such a nice little surprise. The cake was still warm and gooey in the middle. Really made my night.

The elote tamale here is fantastic, so fluffy and creamy. I really liked the cozy, laid-back feel of the place. Just a nice, simple spot for good food.
