A bit of a splurge, but that banana bread pudding is worth it. Warm, gooey, and not overly sweet. I&#39;d come back just for that.

Huge wall of taps. Bartender was super helpful, let us try a few samples before we picked. Went with a local IPA. Solid spot for the beer selection.

Tried the tasting menu. Each course was well-executed, with clear attention to detail in the preparation. Service was efficient and matched the pacing of the meal. A solid choice for a business dinner downtown.

Came in for a late lunch. The pita bread was so soft and warm, it just melted with the baba ganoush. That little detail made the whole platter.

As a vegetarian, the prix fixe menu was a great find. Four courses for $60 felt like a steal.

The cocktail with the five-spice rim was a standout. They&#39;re doing interesting things with toasted sesame and yuzu. I paired it with the duck, and the drink&#39;s spice notes complemented the dish perfectly. The bar program is definitely the highlight here.

Aaron and Ellen are the best! They remembered my name from my first visit and always check in without being overbearing. It&#39;s the kind of service that makes you want to come back.

Ceviche was fantastic. Really fresh, great texture. The sushi was solid too, fresh fish. Miso soup was a nice touch. That&#39;s about it.

Trendy spot, super casual. Came with friends and we all loved the fried bologna sandwich appetizer! The brussels sprouts were a hit too. Great for a chill group hangout.

Been coming here for years, and the octopus appetizer is the one thing I always order. It&#39;s consistently tender, never chewy, and the char is just right. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

They accommodated my friend&#39;s vegan and gluten-free needs from the dinner menu, which was helpful. Her quinoa salad was fresh and well-prepared. Service was efficient. Good option for dietary restrictions downtown.

Kristina was a great server, kept our drinks topped up. The strawberry flips were the highlight, really fresh and not too sweet. Solid spot.

Been coming here for years, and the steak street tacos are still solid. Fresh cilantro and onions, corn tortillas that don&rsquo;t fall apart. Simple, but they get it right.

The liver and onions here is a game changer. Soaking it in milk first totally gets rid of that weird metallic taste. And the onions? They give you a whole mountain of them, all sweet and caramelized. Really hit the spot.

Had a birthday dinner with a big group. The food was spot on&mdash;the steak was cooked just right, and the sides were fresh. Becky remembered our table, which was a nice touch. A solid spot for a celebration.

Still my go-to for Chinese food when I&#39;m in the area. The flavors are just as I remember them, which is a comfort. The place itself feels unchanged, a little worn but familiar. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

I appreciate how clean this place always is, even the restrooms. It&#39;s a small spot, but they&#39;ve made it feel really comfortable and welcoming. A nice, relaxed place for a quiet meal.

Stopped by for trivia night on a random Tuesday. The staff was super chill, and the menu had enough options for everyone. Good vibes all around.

The shrimp and grits were pretty good. The grits were creamy and the shrimp had a nice flavor. The peppers and onions added some good texture. Service was fine.

The frozen strawberry margarita was my pick. Loved how fresh the strawberries tasted, not overly sweet. Just the right balance of tart and fruity. The generous size was a nice touch too.

The sushi is fresh and reasonably priced for downtown. Happy hour has some good deals too.

The veggie sushi section is a solid idea. Tried the avocado and cucumber rolls, both fresh and tasty. Portions are decent for the price.
