Found this spot on Pratt Street. The Irish stew was pretty good, hearty and flavorful. Staff is friendly, they remembered my name from a previous visit. A bit on the pricier side, but a solid choice for a decent meal.

Sitting at the bar was the best part. Chelsea and Kyle made a great espresso martini and suggested the coconut cream pie&mdash;so rich and creamy.

That garlic bread starter is so good. Really crispy, lots of garlic flavor. The marinara for dipping had a nice tang to it. The Brussels sprouts were a solid side, too.

Randy was great, super chill. The mac and cheese bites were incredible. But the Cajun voodoo pasta portion felt a bit small for the price, especially as a main. Still good for a date night.

Solid pizza. But the chicken tacos are the real deal. Fresh ingredients, really good. That&#39;s what I&#39;ll be coming back for.

Love the vibe here for happy hour. $9 small plates and $5 wines are a solid deal. The live jazz band was a nice touch, really adds to the relaxed atmosphere.

The Turkish coffee is definitely the highlight. Small cups, but the flavor is so rich and intense. You can tell they use really fresh, high-quality beans. A perfect little treat after a meal.

Been coming here for years. The owner still walks around to say hello and ask how things are. It&#39;s a small thing, but you don&#39;t see that much anymore. Makes it feel like a neighborhood spot.

Booked ahead and got seated right away on a packed night. The noise level was a bit much when the place filled up.

Their chai and matcha lattes are top-tier. Got my usual oat milk matcha today, and it&rsquo;s just so smooth and not too sweet. Really hits the spot. The coffee drinks are always solid too, never a miss.

Sammy&#39;s usually here, which is nice. You start to feel like a regular after a few visits. The food is always solid. It&#39;s that kind of place you&#39;re glad is in the neighborhood.

Been coming here for years. Their smoked then fried chicken wings are the real deal. Got the hot honey flavor last time, crispy outside, juicy inside. Just the right amount of heat and sweet. Keeps me coming back.

I&#39;ve been coming here for years, and the service is always the same&mdash;really attentive without being overbearing. It&#39;s why I keep driving back. The pasta&#39;s solid, but honestly, it&#39;s the staff that makes it feel like my spot.

The food was fresh and the seasonal iced tea was a nice touch. It&rsquo;s a bit of a hidden spot, but they have a good menu. I appreciated the comfortable seating&mdash;made it easy to relax.

Great spot just steps from the beach. Came here after a walk and the fish tacos were super fresh. Perfect for a casual bite with that ocean view.

The garlic pepper onion pizza here is so good. Thin crust, crispy, and the toppings are fresh. We ate every last piece.

Service was really good on a quiet Tuesday. Everything we ordered tasted great. The place could use a little sprucing up, though.

Huge menu, so many options. I got the daily special, some kind of white fish in a lemon butter sauce. It was solid. Friendly staff. Just a heads up, it&#39;s cash only but they have an ATM.

We sat in the gazebo, which was a nice spot. The hot dogs and fries were just fine for a casual lunch. Staff was friendly, and the view of the marshes is really lovely.

Crispy brussels sprouts and tuna roll were solid. Happy hour drinks are a good deal. Food is a bit pricey, but it&#39;s a satisfying quick bite. Got my order in under 10 minutes.

The burger was cooked just right, and I really appreciated how fresh the lettuce and tomato tasted. My husband enjoyed his Nashville chicken sandwich too. Diana, our waitress, was very kind and gave us some helpful tips for our visit.

Cozy spot with nice wood interiors and a fireplace. The historic details from its Taft Hotel days are pretty cool. Food was decent, though the tables are a bit close together.

Been coming here for years, and it&#39;s always a solid spot for a quick bite. The food is reliably fresh. That passion fruit mango juice is my go-to &ndash; so refreshing on a warm day.

Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Just the right amount of check-ins.

The portion sizes are huge, which is great for sharing. I appreciated that they use fresh, quality ingredients. It&#39;s nice to know you&#39;re getting good value for the amount.

The Figgy Piggy burger was spot on, and those truffle parm fries were a great match. Burger was juicy, fries had that nice crisp. Solid combo.

The chicken parm sandwich is a generous portion and really tasty. The booths are comfortable, which is a nice plus.

The fries were good tonight, but honestly, the seasoning was a bit uneven. Some bites were perfect, others were just... plain.
