As a vegetarian, I was surprised by how many vegan and gluten-free options they had. Tried the lentil curry and it was actually pretty good, not bland at all.

The pasta is definitely homemade, you can taste the difference. Everything just felt so fresh. I liked that you could see into the kitchen a bit from our table, added a nice touch to the whole vibe.

The seafood tower was a showstopper! So fresh and perfectly chilled. The cr&egrave;me br&ucirc;l&eacute;e had the best crackly top.

The courtyard and beer garden out back are really nice. Grabbed a seat outside when the sun was out. Good spot to just hang out and eat.

Been coming here for years. The unlimited small plates are always fresh and come out fast, perfect for a lazy Sunday.

Cozy, rustic spot with a great neighborhood feel. The outdoor patio is lovely, especially with the fans going on a warm day. Feels like a classic, no-frills crab house. My only note is that the tables could use a more thorough wipe-down between guests.

Stumbled upon this cozy spot. Their mol&eacute; poblano was the real deal, tasted just like a family recipe. Really hit the spot on a chilly evening.

The table-side carving of the New York strip was impressive. Walter&#39;s wine pairing for it was spot-on.

The cheesecake here is always on point. Got the tiramisu cheesecake this time and it was so rich and creamy. A solid way to finish dinner.

Been coming here for years. Alex and Dennis at the bar always remember my usual order. It&#39;s that kind of consistent, easy service that keeps me coming back. Never feels like a production.

Angie was our server and she was great. Super friendly and quick with everything. Made my lunch break feel a bit nicer. She&rsquo;s definitely a plus for this place.

Had a little get-together here. Our server was super nice and checked on us just the right amount&mdash;never felt rushed but never had to wait for anything. It was a chill vibe for catching up with friends.

Been coming here for years. The $35 three-course meal is a solid deal. Food&#39;s always good, but you might have to wait a bit.

The chickpea fries were a total surprise - crispy outside, creamy inside. The fried oysters were fresh and briny. That whole plate just worked.

Been coming here for years. Camden always remembers us, and the complimentary dessert they do for regulars is a nice touch. It&rsquo;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years. That Cuban sandwich is still the best I&#39;ve ever had&mdash;always perfectly pressed, never greasy. It&#39;s the one thing I order every single time.

Just pho on the menu, but they do it right every time. Perfect for a quick, no-fuss catch-up with friends.

The buffet&#39;s a steal for $15. They kept bringing out fresh, hot naan to the table, which was a nice touch.

Been coming here for years. The steak&#39;s always done right, medium with a good char. That sauce they serve with it is something else. The endive soup is a solid choice too.

Love their happy hour. The bacon &amp; egg fried rice is so comforting, and the sticky ribs just fall off the bone. Perfect for a low-key evening.

The $5 happy hour cocktails are the move here. Sat outside under the overpass, which was a cool vibe, but honestly I&#39;m just here for the drinks. Solid deal for the price.

The self-order kiosks are a game-changer! So much easier to browse the menu without feeling rushed.

Stopped in for a burger and fries. They were phenomenal. The patty was juicy, and the fries were crispy and salty. Just what I needed.

The AYCE menu is a solid deal for the price. We went with a big group and could try a bit of everything without breaking the bank. The portions are generous, honestly more than I expected.

The traditional music and decor really made me feel like I was in Nepal. The vibe was warm and welcoming, which was nice. The food was good, but the music was a bit loud for conversation.

Came here on a Tuesday and it was packed! Our waiter had us laughing the whole time. Definitely coming back for that chicken piccata.

Drove an hour for the oysters. They were fresh and tasty, no regrets. Quick service at the bar, got my order fast. That&#39;s what I needed.

The fire pit table was a nice touch on a cool evening. The pond view from the outdoor seating is really lovely. It felt upscale but still pretty relaxed.
