The Iskender kebab was the star for me. The meat was tender and had that perfect smoky char from the grill.

A cozy little spot, nice and quiet. The chickpea fritters were spot on, and the gnocchi was just right. They had a really interesting selection of natural wines by the glass. Picked one that went surprisingly well with the fritters.

The coffee&#39;s good, but it&#39;s the baked goods that keep me coming back. That lemon-thyme scone? Unusual and absolutely nailed it. The Star Wars stuff is a fun touch, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for the pastry case.

The back area near the restrooms has such nice lighting, really soft and flattering. It&#39;s perfect for taking photos without feeling like you&#39;re in a spotlight. Made our group dinner feel a bit more special without being fussy.

Been back a few times for the Halal Burger Combo. Love that you can really customize your burger with all the toppings. The place just has a nice, easy vibe to it.

A bit pricey, but the seafood selection is solid. They had some really fresh scallops and the tuna was spot on. Student discount is a nice touch.

Busy spot, but they keep things moving. Perfect for a quick lunch. Got the banana split - classic diner dessert done right. Service was efficient even when packed. Just what I needed.

Came for a late lunch on a Saturday. The space is really nice&mdash;lots of natural light from the big windows and the tables aren&#39;t crammed together. Makes it easy to just relax. The food was great, honestly some of the better Italian I&#39;ve had.

Connected to the Holiday Inn. Menu&#39;s got a solid range. Food was good, decently priced. Staff were friendly, service was quick. They had a nice local IPA on tap that went well with the burger. A bit noisy from the lobby, but fine for a casual bite.

The pho broth was really good, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. I was still a little hungry after. The beef was tender though.

The Eggs Benedict is the reason I keep coming back. The eggs were perfectly runny, hollandaise rich and buttery. That side of fresh fruit was a nice, sweet contrast. Just a solid, classic brunch plate.

The French martini was really good, but honestly I just loved the vibe here. The lighting was warm and the bar stools were actually comfortable to sit on for a while. A nice place to just unwind.

Stewart was a great server. He knew the menu inside out and steered us right on the wine pairing. Food arrived fast, which we appreciated with a curtain time to hit.

The beef quesadillas were nice and crispy, with a little parmesan on top. The jerk chicken had a good kick to it. I really appreciated how the server checked in just the right amount&mdash;not too often, but we never had to look around for a refill.

Server Mitsuko was super helpful with the menu. Got my order fast and the food was really good. Perfect for a quick lunch.

The basil fried rice was the standout. Fresh, fragrant, and just the right amount of wok hei. Pad see ew was solid too. Great spot for a casual group dinner.

You can really taste the real fruit and nuts in every scoop. The hazelnut and Sicilia flavors are my go-to. Quality ingredients make all the difference.

Lovely spot to relax. The staff were really friendly, which made the whole visit feel easy. I tried one of their plant-based drinks - it was nice and light. The decor is beautiful, very calming. A comfortable place to sit for a while.

The space has a really cozy, warm vibe. I love how it feels inviting as soon as you walk in. Perfect for those long, lazy dinners where you just want to relax and chat.

Lemon meringue pie is the one to get here. The cupcake version was good too, but the full slice is just better. Place was packed, had to wait a bit for a table.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always remember my usual order. That kind of consistent, friendly service is what keeps me coming back. It just feels comfortable.

Love the quiet, lived-in feel here. It&#39;s the kind of place where you can just sink into a corner booth. The old pool table and those slightly faded prints on the wall give it a real sense of history. Just a nice, easy spot.

Been coming here for a while. The Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Biryani are consistently well-prepared, spice level is just right. Staff is always polite and efficient. A reliable spot for a straightforward meal.

Came with a group of friends and we all agreed the crispy beef is the star here. Seriously, so good! The rest of the menu is solid too, so it&#39;s our new go-to for a reliable dinner downtown.

The falafel plate is a solid choice for a quick lunch. Freshly made, you can tell. Good veggie options too. Got my order in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a fast bite.

My go-to is the kimchi soon tofu with beef. The broth is savory, tofu is soft. Side dishes are a nice touch &mdash; the bean sprouts with sesame oil are particularly good. A solid spot for a reliable meal.
