Solid dairy-free choices, which I always look for. Line moved fast even with a crowd. Staff seemed genuinely happy, made the whole vibe better.

Dog-friendly spot. That&#39;s the main thing. Got the decaf cold brew. Solid. Just a chill place to hang out with the pup.

Love their popcorn selection. Tried the caramel and cheddar today. Quick stop, perfect for a snack. Always something new to grab.

The corned beef hash here is pretty good, homemade style. I liked it enough to get a third portion to go. The eggs on top were just fine.

I&#39;ve been coming here for years and the eggs Benedict are always perfect. The hollandaise is just right, not too heavy. It&#39;s a cozy spot for a quiet breakfast, and the staff is very friendly.

Burger was solid, but that toffee bread pudding is something else. Honestly, they could just serve that for dessert and call it a day. Stopped in on a whim, glad I did.

First time trying Moroccan food, and it was a great intro. The lamb tagine was so tender, just fell apart. They serve it on these gorgeous painted plates that make the whole thing feel special. The mint tea at the end with the little cookies was a lovely touch.

The pistachio gelato was the highlight for me. Really creamy, with a nice nutty flavor. I&#39;d come back just for that.

The atmosphere at James Hook &amp; Co is charming and laid-back, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal. The lobster rolls are top-notch, and the large portions ensure you won&#39;t leave hungry.

A nice relaxed spot in Chinatown. The vegetables were fresh and the vegan options looked good. I had the tom yum soup, the broth was pretty tasty. A solid choice for a casual lunch.

Solid spot for a family dinner. Beef coconut curry was flavorful, bhindi aloo was good. Portions are generous, so sharing works well. Mango lassi was a nice touch. Service was efficient, got us in and out without a fuss.

A classic diner feel, and the coffee was refilled promptly. I appreciated that the eggs tasted fresh, not like they&#39;d been sitting. The hash browns could have been crispier, but it&#39;s a reliable spot for a simple, no-fuss breakfast downtown.

Been coming here for years. The roast beef sandwich is always solid, and the soup is just right on a cold day. Place gets packed, but they keep things moving.

Such a cozy little spot! The hanger steak was the star for me &mdash; cooked perfectly, so tender and juicy. Definitely book ahead, it fills up fast.

While O Ya is on the pricier side, the creativity and execution of the dishes justify the cost. Each course is a delightful adventure, showcasing inventive flavors that are hard to find elsewhere.

The appetizers and pastas were pretty good, but the portions felt a bit small for the price. We were sharing, and it left us wanting just a little more. The flavors were nice, though.
