Been coming here since I was a kid! The portions are still huge, perfect for sharing with a group. Got the beef stew and plantains this time &ndash; so good. The staff is super friendly and brings everything right to your table. Prices are fair.

The brunch here is so relaxed. I love how fresh everything tastes, you can tell they put care into the food. It just makes for a lovely, easy morning.

Been coming here for years, their Thai tea is the best. Always get it with the crab rangoon. The pho is solid too, my usual order when I&#39;m not sure what else to get.

The drunken noodles here are something else. The sauce has this perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the wide rice noodles soak it all up. The chicken was tender, not dry at all. That&#39;s the dish I keep coming back for.

The buffet spread is really nice, salmon and steak were both good. What stood out for me was how comfortable the booths are&mdash;you can actually relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. The desserts were a treat.

Even picky eaters will find something here. The menu has good variety and everything tasted fresh.

The wings are a must-order here. They&#39;re always fresh and crispy, never soggy. The fried chicken is cooked just right, juicy inside. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

As a vegan, I appreciate having so many options here. The pumpkin whoopie pie was a nice treat.

Been coming here since I was a kid. Taste is exactly the same. That&rsquo;s the whole point.

Parking was tricky, but I found a spot eventually. The historic building near Yale is lovely. What really stood out was how comfortable the booths were&mdash;plenty of room and nicely padded. Made for a very relaxed meal.

They fixed a last-minute cake mix-up right away, gave us a free one on the spot. The Marjolaine and chocolate mousse were both really good.

Grilled salmon was spot on, flaky and moist. Sat outside and the vibe was just right, not too loud. Good for a date.

Cajun shrimp penne was my pick. The portion was massive, honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. Flavor was on point, really hit the spot. Solid deal for what you pay.

Met up with friends here after a campus thing. Got a burger and a beer. Honestly, the burger was fine, but for the price I was expecting a bit more on the plate. The area&#39;s vibe is chill though.

The smoked salmon crepe was so fresh, you could taste the quality of the ingredients. Love that they make everything right in front of you.

The broth is just right, and the meat is always tender. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The pasta dishes at Villa Lulu are outstanding, particularly the black linguini, which is a must-try. The staff is friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant meal.

The slices are huge, definitely a meal in themselves. I was glad I ordered a bold red wine to stand up to the hearty toppings. Solid value for the quality.

The Yogurtlu Adana was really good. That smoky beef from the charcoal grill with the butter and yogurt sauce just hits right. The whole place has this warm, rustic vibe that makes it feel cozy and relaxed.

Been coming here for years. The pistachio cake is the real deal, moist and not too sweet. Chicken salad sandwich is solid, always on fresh bread. It&#39;s a reliable spot.

The noodles are cozy and the dumplings are crispy. I really liked the comfortable seating here.
