The Chinese chicken salad is packed with chicken, which is nice. The pumpkin pancakes are something else, though.

Pizza was solid, and the mozzarella sticks hit the spot. They had a guy playing guitar live, which was a nice touch for a Thursday night. Service was okay, nothing special.

The host was so nice and efficient. He got us seated right away, even though it looked busy. Made everything feel easy and relaxed.

The spinach and artichoke dip was fantastic. The atmosphere is lively, but the booths are a bit snug for a comfortable, relaxed meal. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

The vibe here is just so welcoming. It&#39;s a neighborhood spot where everyone seems to know each other, and the staff makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. That friendly buzz makes it a really nice place to just hang out for a bit.

Clean, modern spot. Really liked the decor, felt comfortable. Inviting place to just sit and have a meal.

Server Jes was on point. Quick with recommendations, handled a busy Friday night well. Food came out fast. Solid service.

Parking is much better now, which I appreciate. As a regular, I know to expect a wait at busy times. The freshness of their ingredients always keeps me coming back.

The open kitchen is a nice touch. You can see the chefs working, which adds to the cozy, neighborhood vibe.
