Vanessa at the counter was so patient helping me with the kiosk and my coupons. Really appreciated her help.

Been a regular for ages. The vibe just feels familiar, you know? That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. Food&#39;s been pretty consistent over the years.

Matzo ball soup was so good, the chicken tasted super fresh. Pastrami on rye hit the spot too. Staff was really friendly, made the whole lunch feel easy. Just a solid meal.

The clam chowder was really flavorful. I appreciated how fresh the clams tasted, and the broth had a nice, rich texture without being too heavy. It&#39;s a good portion too, definitely not skimpy on the main ingredient.

Liz was our server and she really made the night. She suggested the special pasta and checked on us just the right amount. It was our first time here and service like that makes you want to come back.

Found this little Italian spot and the Caprese salad was the star. The mozzarella was so fresh and creamy, paired perfectly with the tomatoes. A simple dish done right.

The accessibility was good for my wheelchair. Staff were very kind when I had a special request. The chocolate lava cake was the real star - perfectly gooey center, not too sweet.

Been bringing friends here for years. The grilled octopus appetizer is still my favorite thing to order for first-timers. It&#39;s always tender and has that perfect char.

The double wagyu smash burger was decent, but for the price, I expected a bit more. Fries and curds were good though.

Solid Thai place. Their green curry has that perfect balance of heat and coconut cream, really hits the spot. Pad see ew noodles are nice and smoky from the wok. Good for a quick takeout meal.

Been coming here for years. The place is always spotless, especially the salad bar. Staff keeps it stocked and fresh, never looks tired or messy. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Chili relleno was solid. Lots of cheese. Beans and rice were fine. Salsas are good. Got my order in under 10 minutes, which is key for a quick lunch.

The food always arrives piping hot and fresh, which I love. Even when they&#39;re slammed, the staff stays friendly and attentive. It&#39;s the little things that make a difference.
