Decent portions for the price. We got to try a few different things without breaking the bank. The crispy squid was a solid pick.

The specialty rolls are a good deal, but I was hoping for more generous portions on the basic nigiri. The fish itself was fresh, which I always appreciate. Just felt a bit light for the price on those simpler pieces.

Tried the Hello Newman on an Asiago bagel. The steaming makes the bagel so soft, and the pastrami with bacon just works. A really nice twist on a classic.

Loved the cozy underground vibe here. Perfect for curling up with a book for a few hours. The lighting is just right&mdash;soft and warm, not too bright. Felt really welcoming.

We were a bit late for our reservation, but they were super chill about it and sat us at the bar. The bartender, Michael, was really nice and made us feel welcome. The bar area had a cool, relaxed vibe that was just right for a casual dinner.

Been coming here for lunch for years. The tempura is always crisp, and their classic rolls are consistent. Takeout is quick, which I appreciate. Prices are fair for what you get. A reliable spot when you just want something solid.

The staff here really knows their stuff. David and Zsolt were great at explaining the menu and helped us pick a couple of dishes we wouldn&#39;t have tried otherwise.

I always get the honey-drizzled croissant as a side. It&#39;s the best part of the meal, honestly. Flaky, buttery, and just sweet enough. I&#39;d come back just for that.

The chile relleno on the combo was fantastic, super flavorful. Nick was a really solid server, knew the menu well and kept things moving. The enchilada was just okay, a bit dry for my taste. Solid spot for a quick dinner.

Been coming here for years, and the ribs are always spot on. So tender they just slide off the bone, and the flavor is consistently good. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every single time.

The chopped pork sandwich is a standout. The pork is tender and has a really deep smoky flavor. It&#39;s exactly what you want from good barbecue. Also, it&#39;s not messy to eat, which is a nice plus.

Tenley was our server, and she really knew the menu inside out. Her suggestions were spot-on, and she made the whole evening feel relaxed and easy. Just a really nice, attentive experience.

Good selection of prepared foods to grab and go. The hot dishes were decent, though the cold ones could have been a bit fresher.

Wasn&#39;t sure about the bread pudding. Not my usual pick. But wow, it was actually really good. Rich and full of flavor. A nice surprise to end a quick lunch.

Cozy spot, good for families. The back room has high ceilings and big wooden tables. Nice for a casual lunch.

Cozy spot with a nice patio. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

Came here with a group of friends for a birthday dinner. They surprised us with a free dessert at the end! It was such a sweet gesture and really made the night. The vibe was perfect for a little celebration.

Been coming here for years. The shepherd&#39;s pie is my go-to, always just as good as the last time. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The desserts here are the real star. We tried the chocolate lava cake and a seasonal fruit tart - both were spot on. Diane, our server, kept us in the loop on timing, which was nice. A solid spot in Anderson.

The lychee martini was really well made, smooth and not too sweet. The wine list is huge though, almost too many options to choose from.

The sauces are the star here. The menu rotates, but the consistency in execution is what keeps me coming back. The pan-seared scallops had this incredible brown butter and herb sauce that was just perfect with the sear.

The ranch dressing here is something else. It&#39;s got this fresh, herby flavor I haven&#39;t tasted before. Really made the burger and fries feel like a better choice. The staff was nice and everything came out quick.

Solid Tex-Mex spot. Our waiter was on it, kept the drinks coming and had a good sense of humor. Made the whole dinner relaxed. The food&#39;s the real deal, exactly what you want from a place like this.

Came here with a few friends and that water view is just so nice for chilling. We shared the fried fish basket - crispy outside, flaky inside, really good. The vibe is super relaxed, perfect for a long catch-up. Drinks stayed cold the whole time, which was a plus.

Just moved to the area and this bakery is a real find. Their whole grain English muffin with my morning coffee is a daily ritual now.

Perfect for a quick bite. The mushroom flatbread came out fast and was exactly what I needed. Paired it with a glass of Cab. Good spot when you&#39;re short on time.

The grocery section has a solid selection of local produce and cheeses. Good for picking up quality ingredients.

Grabbed lunch at the bar. Bartender was cool, kept an eye on my drink. Jalape&ntilde;o cocktail was the standout. Spicy kick, really good. Chips were top tier too.

The lamb and beef kabobs with Kabuli rice were the main draw. Both meats were tender and well-seasoned. The rice portion was generous. Solid meal for the price point.

The sampler was a solid start. Helped me pick what to order next. It&#39;s that kind of cozy, comfort food that just hits right. Felt like a hug in a bowl, honestly.
