The sweet and sour chicken was crispy, not greasy. Paired it with a local Riesling, the acidity cut through the sweetness nicely. A solid choice for the main.

I always stop here when I&#39;m in town. Their coffee is fantastic, but I really appreciate the fresh ingredients in their pastries. You can tell they use quality stuff. The lemon tart was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. A nice spot for a mindful treat.

Lobster and crab were super fresh. The dill potatoes and coleslaw were good too. But the chocolate cake with mocha frosting and vanilla ice cream was the real highlight. Saved room for it.

The blackened salmon was the star. Cooked just right, flaky and moist with a nice crust. The menu&rsquo;s heavy on seafood and pasta, which I like. Atmosphere is simple, like a classic diner. Service was solid, no complaints.

Good spot for live music. Came on a Thursday, the performer was solid. Enjoyed the set with dinner, made for a relaxed evening. Sound level was fine for conversation. Would go back for the music.

The chowder was the best I&#39;ve ever had. Creamy, packed with fresh clams and potatoes, not too thick. That&#39;s the main reason I&#39;d come back. The local wine was a nice surprise, went well with it.

Don&#39;t be fooled by the name, it&#39;s quite upscale. The scallops and flatbread were lovely. The cheesecake was the best I&#39;ve ever had.

The salmon tataki and spicy sashimi bowl are always fresh and well-prepared. Consistent quality on every visit.

Michael was our server and he&#39;s just the best! So friendly and quick, made our girls&#39; night out a breeze. 🥰

The wings were tasty and the prices are fair. The booths are comfortable, which is nice for a sports bar.

Those lobster-stuffed mushrooms were the best part. Seriously considered swinging by again the next day just for another order.

The hot wings had a nice kick, not too vinegary. The pizza crust was spot on, sauce tasted homemade. Our server was friendly. I appreciated their wine list - found a nice Pinot Noir that went well with both dishes. A solid spot.

The paprika schnitzel was spot on. Juicy, with a really nice crust. The sauerkraut cut through it perfectly.

The lobster here was a standout. It was so moist and tender, cooked just right. Really enjoyed that first bite, the flavor was spot on. A bit pricey for the portion, but that dish alone made it worth it.

The lobster roll is so good! The bun was nice and toasty, and it was absolutely stuffed with big pieces of lobster. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Perfect for sharing with a friend.

Cozy booths, nice and open space. Not too loud like other downtown spots. Good for a relaxed drink with friends.

A cozy spot with a lot of character. The decor is filled with plants and art, which I liked. It felt warm and inviting. We had the mushroom risotto, which was pretty good, though a little rich for my taste. A nice place for a quiet dinner.

Great coffee, but it&#39;s mostly grab-and-go. There&#39;s a small bench outside, which is nice when the weather&#39;s good.

The pierogies were spot on. I liked how the specials are just written on the wall, felt very cozy. The dessert was clearly baked in-house, you could tell. Menu had some really interesting ideas.

The cornbread with honey butter here is so good. Came with friends and we ended up ordering a second basket. It&#39;s warm, a little crumbly, and that butter melts right in. Honestly, the highlight of our catch-up.

The cocktails are pretty good, and they have a nice non-alcoholic soda. The wine list is decent, though I wish there were more by-the-glass choices.

Hannah was super helpful with the menu. I got the pasta she recommended and a glass of house red. The portion was huge, I had to take half home. Good for the price.

The focaccia for their Italian sandwich is made fresh daily - you can really taste the difference. The staff even gave us a little map with their favorite local spots, which was a nice touch. Coffee was good too, they walked us through the bean options.

Been coming here for years, the pizza with the works is always solid. Got the chicken platter last night, the portion was huge, easily enough for two meals. For the price, you really can&#39;t complain.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. Place is spotless, which I really appreciate. Nice vibe for a quick bite. The burger was solid, came out fast. Exactly what I needed on a busy day.
