Been coming here for years. Menu&#39;s huge, but I always get the same burger and a beer. Just feels like home.

The bread with lemony pesto and chili oil was a pretty good start. Pasta was cooked nicely and had decent flavor. A solid meal overall.

The dining room is so cozy and beautiful, really nice atmosphere. Staff were pleasant and welcoming.

The birria tacos are the real deal here. The consomm&eacute; has a deep, slow-cooked flavor, and the beef is incredibly tender. Just the right amount of greasy. The corn tortillas hold up perfectly. That&#39;s all I come for.

The French toast plate was huge, especially for the price. I ended up with leftovers for lunch the next day. A solid choice if you&#39;re hungry.

The 50/50 clam chowder is a great idea. You get the creamy New England and the lighter Veracruz in one bowl. It&#39;s packed with clams, really hearty. A bit on the pricey side, but it&#39;s a solid portion.

The garlic naan with the tikka masala is a solid choice. The curry had good flavor without being too spicy. The lassi was a nice, creamy drink to go with it. A pretty good meal overall.

Been coming here for years. The shrimp and grits is still the one to get - smoky, spicy, with that good bacon. Shrimp are always cooked right. Po&#39; Boy is huge, but the grits keep me coming back.

The spicy margarita is a must. Perfectly balanced heat with the tequila, and the presentation is a showstopper. Great spot by the beach.

Been ordering the saut&eacute;ed tofu side for a while now. Noticed the portion size seems to change every time. Last visit, it was definitely on the smaller side. Just hoping for a bit more consistency.

Came for the weekend dim sum and was not disappointed. The variety was impressive, but those pork buns really stole the show for me &ndash; so fluffy and flavorful. A solid spot for a lazy Sunday.

Been coming here for years, and the outdoor patio by the harbor is still my favorite spot. Just a simple, reliable place to grab lunch and watch the boats. The view never gets old. It&#39;s a bit breezy sometimes, but that&#39;s part of the charm for me.

The empanadas were fresh and hot. I liked the variety of fillings, especially the vegan ones. It&#39;s a decent spot for a quick bite. The only thing is the seating area is a bit cramped.

The staff really knows their stuff and gave great suggestions. They even customized a dish for my friend&#39;s allergy, no problem.

The chips and salsa they bring out are pretty good. The red one has a decent kick. You can ask for the green salsa too, though it came out a bit later than the chips.

The gumbo was so fresh, the ingredients tasted just-picked. We devoured it before even thinking of a photo!

Came here for brunch with friends. The breakfast burrito was solid, and the view from the patio was perfect for catching up. A bit of a wait for a table, but worth it for the vibe.

The clam chowder here is my go-to for a quick lunch. It&#39;s thick, creamy, and actually has decent chunks of clam in it. Gets me in and out fast. 👍

Been coming here for years. The staff is always on top of things, even on a packed Friday night. Our server tonight was quick, knew the menu, and gave a solid tip on the special. That kind of reliable service keeps me coming back.

The crab cake sandwich was the real standout for me. The patty was so fresh and crispy, and the sauce had a nice little kick. Everyone at our table kept stealing bites of it!

Been coming here for years, and the soups never disappoint. Had the spicy beef noodle today - broth was rich, noodles had a nice chew. Perfect spot when you just need a solid, no-fuss meal.

The seasonal bread was warm and fresh, which was a nice start. It came with a decent olive oil dip. The rest of the meal was fine, though the bread was probably the highlight.

The mango lassi was solid, but the real star was the Indian iced coffee. Perfectly spiced, not too sweet. It was the right note to finish with after a rich curry.

Fun spot for a group hangout! The music was great, and the staff even did a little dance number at one point. 😄 Made the whole night feel like a party. Just a heads up, it does get pretty loud in there.

Been coming here for years. Food&#39;s always solid, and the place has a nice vibe. But lately, some of the plates feel a bit small for what they charge. Still, you&#39;re paying for the quality, I guess.

Good neighborhood spot with consistently good food. The location in the Shores area is nice, though I miss the old place.

Service was quick and friendly. Ruben was super nice when my drink order got mixed up - he brought over some cookies to make up for it. The busboy also helped me pack up my leftovers.

As a celiac, it&#39;s a relief to have a 100% gluten-free kitchen. Their house-baked bread makes the sandwiches really solid.

Solid whiskey selection. Happy hour margarita was well-made and priced right. That&#39;s all I needed.

The squid ink paella really caught my eye. That rice had a deep, savory flavor I haven&#39;t had elsewhere. Seafood was spot-on, not rubbery at all. A solid choice for something different.
