Stopped by for a quick bite. The stone walls and decor make it feel really cozy inside. Just a chill spot to grab some food and unwind for a bit.

Just a heads up, they only take cash. The picnic tables outside are nice though&mdash;they wipe them down right after people leave, so it always feels clean when you sit down.

A solid choice for a family meal. The kids&#39; menu is well thought out, with simple options that actually get eaten. Makes the logistics of a dinner out much easier. Service was prompt and handled the chaos well.

Finally found a decent deep dish. The sauce is the star here, really good. Wings tasted fresh, not like the usual frozen stuff.

My wife and I are vegan, and we keep coming back for the rotating specials. The flavors feel authentic, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. It&rsquo;s nice to have a spot where the menu actually changes.

First time here for my wife&#39;s BDay/Father&#39;s Day, I ordered Steak au poivre which was undercooked and lacked any peppercorns- the au poivre part mind you! Service was extremely slow for us and several other tables spoke of that as well. Prices were Litchfield - very expensive. Several friends had recommended the Grille previously but have since stopped going there due to meagre quality and quantity issues. I have 10 years of high end a la carte food service in both front/back of the house and do not recommend dining here.

I was really impressed by their strawberry Bellini mocktail. It had that perfect balance of sweet and tart, and it paired surprisingly well with the rich pasta I ordered. A great option when you&#39;re not drinking but still want something special with your meal.

The all-American burger was so fresh, you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. A nice, solid choice for a healthier option.

The four cheese pasta was rich and creamy, just right. The steak was cooked exactly as ordered. But the real star was dessert&mdash;the salted caramel cheesecake was incredible. I&#39;d go back just for that slice.

Came in near closing, staff didn&#39;t rush us at all. That was nice. The burger was the real story though. Patty was juicy, cheese was melted just right, and the brioche bun held up. Could&#39;ve used a bit more seasoning in the meat.

The boneless wings and shrimp are always solid. I like that the bar area is separate, so it&#39;s quieter than other chain restaurants.

The truffle burger on an English muffin was pretty good. The meat was tender and the truffle sauce had a nice flavor. The hand-cut fries were a decent side. It&#39;s a solid choice for a casual meal, though the price felt a bit high for what it was.

Came here for dinner last night. The food was really good, each dish felt like it was made with a lot of care. My only thing is, for the portion sizes, the price felt a bit high. It&#39;s more of a special occasion spot for me.

Stopped by for dessert. The Basque cheesecake was unreal, super creamy and just the right amount of burnt on top. Shared a few profiteroles with a friend too. Solid spot to end the night.

The waiter was really on top of things, kept my water glass full and checked in just enough. Friendly guy, didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. That kind of service makes a meal.

Lauren and Matt at the bar were so fun! They remembered our drink orders from last time and kept the vibes chill. Perfect for catching up with friends. The blackened shrimp tostada was delicious, but the live music on Sundays is the real draw for me.

Been coming for years, and the veggie gyoza is always solid. A reliable spot.

Been coming here since I was a kid. The place just feels familiar and comfortable, you know? The booths are still those big, cozy ones. Menu&#39;s got endless choices, which is nice. Good to see it&#39;s still going strong.

The arepas and barracuda nachos were very good, a solid Colombian take. Service was efficient, which I appreciate for a business lunch. The location near the financial district is a major plus for meetings.

Perfect spot for a quick lunch. The pizza crust is super crispy, just how I like it. Got my slice and a drink in under 5 minutes. The small shop has some chill jazz playing, which is a nice bonus. Exactly what I need on a busy day.

Love the old-school vibe here, feels like stepping back in time. The service is always friendly and efficient, which makes for a really relaxed meal.

The burger and fries were spot on, and our server was really attentive. It&rsquo;s definitely pricier than your average diner though. I did appreciate their short but thoughtful wine list&mdash;found a nice red that paired well. Just know you&rsquo;re paying for the quality.
