Nice spot for a casual meal. The high ceilings make it feel open and airy, which I liked. Grabbed a seat on the patio in the afternoon sun, no wait. Just a simple, easy lunch.

The lunch menu has a lot of options. I went with the sweet basil and fried tofu&mdash;the seasoning was spot on, and the portion was generous. They had a nice selection of local craft beers that paired really well with the dish. A solid lunch spot.

Adrian was our server and he really made the night. He knew the menu inside out, suggested a wine that paired perfectly with my steak, and checked in just the right amount. That kind of thoughtful service is hard to find.

Solid spot for a casual dinner with friends! The steamed wontons were so good we ordered a second round.

Cozy spot with those comfy banquettes. Staff was genuinely friendly and knew the menu inside out. They timed the courses just right without hovering. A solid, professional service experience.

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.

Olivia was great. She really knew the menu and kept an eye on our table without hovering.

Curbside pickup is a decent option here. I&#39;ve used it a few times during busy lunch rushes and it&#39;s usually faster than the drive-thru line. My order has always been correct, which is nice. It&#39;s a pretty good system.

Our waitress was awesome! She brought out a few sauces for us to try before we ordered, which was so helpful. The chicken parm and manicotti were huge portions, perfect for sharing with the table. We all left stuffed.

Our server was so friendly and really knew the menu. She suggested the braised short ribs, and I&#39;m glad she did. They were rich and tender, and the dry stout was a perfect match for them. Made for a really nice dinner.

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.

Came for the pork shank dinner. The meat was so tender it fell right off the bone, and the gravy was rich without being heavy. A really satisfying, hearty plate. The vibe in the room was warm and lively, which added to the experience.

The drive-thru is so quick, even when they&#39;re packed. Staff always have a smile. I appreciate that my order is accurate every time - really helps when you&#39;re trying to stick to a plan.

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.

I love the selection of organic and gluten-free items here. The wine section is particularly nice. It&#39;s a comfortable place to shop, and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

Restaurant week menu was a solid deal. The three courses were nicely plated and felt a bit upscale, but the portions were on the smaller side for the price. Still, a decent value for the experience.

The chicken salad croissant is fresh and has a nice crunch. The space itself is bright and cozy, perfect for a relaxed bite.

The space has such a cool, historic feel. I love that they kept the old grocery store vibe. It&#39;s a unique spot to grab a meal. The booths were comfortable, which is always a plus for me.

The wine list is huge and they really know their cheese pairings. We spent a whole afternoon here just trying a few glasses with different boards. Perfect for a lazy catch-up.

It can get pretty busy, but the wait wasn&#39;t too bad. Once seated, the service was quick and friendly.

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.
