The staff here is always on point. Molly remembered my usual order, Terry&#39;s quick with the refills, and Barbara just has a way of making you feel looked after. It&#39;s the service that keeps me coming back.

Chef Julio&rsquo;s plating is stunning. Sat at the bar watching the open kitchen&mdash;felt like being in The Bear. The wine list is solid, found a nice Rioja that worked with the duck. A bit loud, but that&rsquo;s the vibe.

Tried their Tuesday Surf and Turf special. $45 for steak, lobster, a starter, dessert, and a glass of champagne. The lobster tail was a decent size, not tiny. Felt like a solid deal for what you get.

The spinach and artichoke bagel with scallion cream cheese is my go-to. They don&#39;t skimp on the spreads here, and the variety is solid. That combo is just a winner.

Sushi was fresh, rolls well made. The scallop and uni appetizer was a highlight&mdash;rich flavor, balanced well. Service was efficient, which I appreciate for a business lunch. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

Stopped in for a cocktail and a small bite. The cosmopolitan was really good, one of the best I can remember. The staff is genuinely warm and friendly, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable.

The burger was cooked just right and super juicy. I liked that the toppings were simple, so you could really taste the quality of the meat.

Loved the tea smoked duck here! Skin was super crispy, and that smoky flavor was just right. The eggplant in garlic sauce was also really tender. Perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends, and the prices are fair.

The nachos supreme here is massive, easily feeds two. Good flavor, the portion for the price is solid. I&#39;ve seen places charge more for half the amount.

Been coming here for years, and their tomahawk is always spot on. Medium rare, tender, every single time.

Been here a few times. The hibachi show is fun, chefs are entertaining. Steak and chicken cooked right in front of you, came out just how we like it. Good spot for a casual dinner.

Came here for a quiet dinner with friends. The space was perfect for our group of eight, no crowding at all. The vibe was relaxed, not too loud. Good spot if you need a place that can handle a bigger table without feeling rushed.

Been coming here for years. Their flatbreads are huge, great for sharing. The Middle Eastern taste plate with the three dips is always a solid choice. Lemon cake dessert is just right for two. Drinks are creative - tried the black Manhattan, it was good.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s the consistent, friendly service that keeps me coming back. They remember my usual order, and it just feels like a neighborhood place that cares.

The blueberry lemon scone was fantastic, honestly the best I&#39;ve had. The whole place has this great neighborhood vibe, really cozy and welcoming. Just a nice, relaxed spot to enjoy a coffee.

Happy hour is a solid deal. Their cocktails are well-priced and the small plates hit the spot. Just the right vibe to unwind after a long day. The lighting was soft, which I really liked.

The pork belly bao was a great start. I really appreciated the fresh pickled vegetables, they cut through the richness nicely. The bun itself was soft and warm. A solid, balanced little bite.

The bing wraps are massive, basically burrito-sized. Got the roast pork one, it was stuffed with fresh veggies and had good flavor. Solid for the price. Staff was nice explaining the menu.

The gluten-free lobster roll is the reason I come here. That soft, buttery roll actually holds together, and the lobster itself is fresh and generously portioned. You don&#39;t taste the &quot;gluten-free&quot; at all. Hard to find done this well anywhere else.

The spring rolls were a nice surprise, and the fish and chips arrived perfectly hot. But what really stood out was our waiter&mdash;so friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal feel relaxed. A comfortable spot for a quiet dinner.

The cocktails are creative, but the food is the real star. The grilled octopus had this smoky char, then a hit of lemon and chili oil. Layers of flavor in every bite.

The swordfish special was cooked just right, not dry at all. Really fresh seafood. That&#39;s the main thing for me.

Nice casual spot for breakfast. Service was quick and friendly, prices are reasonable. Got the avocado toast and a coffee. The toast was good, but the avocado was a little underripe. Coffee was solid.

Tanya was our server and she was so attentive. She noticed I was asking about the ingredients in the salad dressing and brought me a list from the kitchen. Made me feel really comfortable.

Cozy historic pub, perfect for a late lunch. I had the fish and chips and was really impressed with how fresh the fish tasted. The batter was light and crispy, not greasy at all. The portion was generous too. A solid, comforting choice.
