That angry sauce lasagna is the only thing I ever get here. The sauce has this slow, deep heat that builds up, and the cheese layers are just thick enough. Can&#39;t even remember what else is on the menu.

The bagel sandwiches are pre-made now, which is a bit of a bummer. But the coffee is still fantastic, and the staff is always so pleasant.

They have bun bo hue and banh canh, not just pho. Tried the banh xeo - super crispy, with a ton of fresh herbs and a really good sauce on the side. Solid spot if you want something different.

Hosted a small gathering here last week. Staff was really helpful and the place was spotless. Made the whole thing easy.

Daniel&#39;s wine pairings were thoughtful, and the dessert surprise was a nice touch. I really appreciated how fresh the ingredients tasted in each course. The service made the evening feel special.

Been coming here for years with my crew. They always handle our big table smoothly, never feel rushed.

Decent portions here. The queso dip with grinder meat was pretty good, and the sandwiches are definitely large enough to share. Got two meals out of a few things, which is nice. A solid spot for a casual lunch.

The screens are perfect for game day, and the DJ keeps things fun. I just wish the seating was a little more comfortable for a longer stay.

Cool little spot. The Scotcheroos are a fun local treat.

The bacon and onion mac and cheese. The savory from the bacon, a little sweetness from the onions, and the salty cheese sauce. They got the balance just right. That&#39;s the one I keep coming back for.

Their scotch list is seriously impressive. The bartender knew his stuff, walked me through a few options without rushing. Ended up with a fantastic pour I&#39;d never have picked myself. That kind of guidance is hard to find.

A decent neighborhood spot. The burger was pretty good, and the service was friendly. Prices are fair. It&rsquo;s a welcoming place for a casual meal.

The corn nuggets were a nice change from the usual breadsticks. They had a good crunch and were actually pretty filling. A solid starter.

The vegan soft pretzel here was fantastic, so fresh and warm. The Korean BBQ cauliflower wings had a really nice texture and flavor. Appreciate how the menu clearly marks all the vegan items, makes ordering easy.
