Nice to see gluten-free and vegetarian options clearly marked. Tried the GF pasta, it was decent. Menu could use a few more of those choices, but it&#39;s a start.

Good spot for a group. The chefs cook right at your table, which is entertaining.

Took a big group here for a friend&#39;s birthday. The staff was so sweet and accommodating! They even sang for us and took a few pics. 🥳 The wings were solid, especially since it was BOGO night. Good spot for a group hang.

Matt B was super helpful when we came in! A few things were sold out, but he walked us through the menu and suggested a pasta dish we ended up loving. Really friendly and patient service. He&rsquo;s definitely why we&rsquo;ll come back.

The staff handled our big group without a hitch. Food came out fast and hot for everyone.

Sashimi lunch was a solid deal. Got a big plate of fresh fish, plus some marinated edamame on the side. Hit the spot for a casual weekday meal.

They sat us right before closing but never made us feel rushed. The filet mignon was cooked just right, so tender and flavorful. The service was really nice and relaxed, which made for a comfortable evening.

Crab cakes were solid - all meat, no filler. Fresh, served with smooth mashed potatoes and a rich lobster sauce. A bit pricey for the portion, but the quality was there.

The crab dip and Brussels sprouts were so fresh. Comfy seats and friendly service made it a relaxing meal.

Jonah&#39;s service was so thoughtful. The cheese board had this great aged cheddar and a blue cheese I&#39;d never tried, with the crustiest bread. It was a nice, quiet spot downtown.

The staff was so careful with my gluten-free order, even bringing out special bread. It made dining out feel easy.

First time here and the pasta was a standout. The server was super attentive, which made the whole meal feel really relaxed. We&#39;ll be back for sure.

Came for a business dinner. The pork chop was cooked well, good seasoning. Short ribs were tender. Coconut cake was a nice finish. Service was efficient, which I appreciated. Solid option for a client meal.

Server was on point. Attentive but not overbearing. Courses came out just right. Manager sent over a lava cake on the house. Nice touch.

The server was so nice and checked on us just the right amount. There was a small mix-up with my order because of an allergy, but they fixed it right away without any fuss. It made the whole dinner feel really relaxed.

Service was really friendly! Even when it was packed, our food came out super fast. The server took time to explain a couple of the specials to us, which was nice.

Omg! First off all, the servers are AMAZING! Most of them know us by name because we come here often.  But if you love crab cakes, they have the best bar none.  Seriously. Check this place out

This place is my regular spot. The hot dogs with chili and coleslaw are always good, and the fries are crispy. The vibe is just right for a quick, no-fuss meal. Prices are fair.

Our go-to spot for a quick family lunch. Kids always finish their chicken tenders and fries. Service is fast, we&#39;re in and out in under an hour. A bit noisy, but that&#39;s expected.

The lunch special thali is a pretty good deal. Portions are decent and it&#39;s a nice way to try a few things.

The chicken caesar wrap is a solid lunch for the price.

The Alice Springs Chicken is always a solid choice. I tried the new combo with a steak this time. The chicken was pretty good, and the steak was decent, though the latter was a touch overdone for my liking.

Been coming here for years, and the seasoning is always spot on. Just had the grilled octopus last night&mdash;perfectly charred, tender inside. That kind of consistent execution keeps me coming back.

Tried the Hop Frog and Black Cat burgers. Both cooked fresh, which is nice. The Black Cat with chili and cheese was my favorite. Solid spot for a burger.

Perfect for a break during the loop walk. Grabbed a flat white on their patio before heading to the beach. The coffee was solid, exactly what I needed. The outdoor seating is the real draw though &ndash; a nice, quiet spot to just sit for a bit.

Been ordering from here for years. What keeps me coming back? They actually call you if the restaurant is out of something you picked. Saves a lot of hassle.

Service was attentive and made the birthday dinner nice. A bit on the pricey side, but fine for a special occasion.

Juicy burger, and they didn&#39;t charge extra for the gluten-free bun. Nice spot by the water.

The handmade tortillas here are fantastic. You can really taste the care in the food. My only small note is that the seating is a bit tight, but the friendly service more than makes up for it.

The everything bagel is no joke here. It&#39;s massive, and they don&#39;t skimp on the seasoning&mdash;coated top to bottom, not just a dusting. The chew was spot on, just the right texture. Really hit the spot for a weekend breakfast.
