Melissa&#39;s been there forever and always knows the right wine to suggest. Makes the place feel like home.

The 1/4 meat pizza is a fun idea, four meats in one square pie. It&#39;s definitely unique. For the price, the portion was solid&mdash;my friend and I split it and left pretty full. Could see it feeding three lighter eaters easily.

The chicken gyro platter is huge and tastes great every time.

Love their special rolls! So many fun options to share with friends. The vibe is chill, perfect for catching up over some fresh sushi.

Coffee&#39;s top-notch here. I&#39;m picky about my pour-overs, and they nail it. The new space is a nice upgrade, feels more open. Grabbed a sandwich too, solid. Wish they had a few more wine or cocktail options to pair with the food, though.

This little spot is a total gem. Their country fried steak breakfast special is the real deal - eggs were cooked just right.

Parking was tricky, but I found a spot eventually. The historic building near Yale is lovely. What really stood out was how comfortable the booths were&mdash;plenty of room and nicely padded. Made for a very relaxed meal.

Grilled salmon was spot on, flaky and moist. Sat outside and the vibe was just right, not too loud. Good for a date.

Been coming here for years, and that white clam pizza never disappoints. The crust is always spot-on&mdash;crispy, chewy, just the right amount of char. It&#39;s the one thing I keep coming back for.

Huge outdoor patio, great for a casual lunch. Got pretty busy on a Saturday but the lively vibe was actually fun.

Stopped by for lunch and had the Tuna Mac salad. The flavors were nicely balanced, not too heavy. A pretty good, simple meal. The place was a bit crowded, but it was fine.

Solid spot for a quick lunch. Their pasta specials are legit homemade, and the beef cheek was surprisingly good for the speed.

Came for a late lunch. The Murphy sandwich (chicken cutlet) was absolutely massive, couldn&#39;t finish it. Fries were good too. The portion size for the price is really solid here.

Sophie was such a great server, really knew the menu. Her tip to try the sidecar cocktail was spot on. The beef bourguignon was fantastic, so tender. Made for a really nice dinner.
