"This is our second time eating here and it was just as good as the first time. The food was fresh and hot (even though it was very cold outside on the patio where we sat) and was delivered quickly. I also tried the blackberry limeade mocktail and it was delicious! Even though we waited for 30 minutes for a table (it was a Sunday, after all), our server was attentive and kept checking in with us. Thank you!"

Amorelia Mexican Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (939) • $$

"I wish this place was 5 stars but honestly its really an overly hyped cafe. I had high expectations due to the reviews and I left disappointed.I ordered the green pazole and Mexican fluffy pancakes.First red flag- they charge you for chips n salsaThe food is NOT bad, its just not amazing either. Pay $15-$17 for 3 regular pancakes ( nothing fluffy amount them) a sliced half of a strawberry lol cmon guys. Now the pazole verde- I REALLY wanted to love this because I was craving it, but unfortunately super disappointing. Its not terrible but its just blah.For $17-$21 for pazole, I would hope its bomb but it wasnt.$7-$10 drinks ( Arnold Palmer and Horchata) Overall I was disappointed because I couldve made 3 "actually" fluffy pancakes at home , and made my homemade green pasole rather than paying $60 for 2 meals that were just blah.Can I cook myself... yes! But I didnt want to. I wanted to treat myself and my son and instead I left feeling robbed of money for a mediocre placeThis is a 6/10 place"

The Corner

★★★★☆ 4 (950) • $$

"only writing a review because of the current 3.9 stars when they absolutely deserve at least a 4.5. we came here one night when we had to wait for sushi at the spot in the lot and now crave this place regularly. I think we've tried most if not all the appetizers including the 48 hour fries, chips and dip, deviled eggs, tuna tartare, tostadas, and bacon wrap dates. The dates while a common place that many restaurants are so good here for really what stands out is the deviled eggs with the crab. When it comes to entrées, we order the halibut every time, the celeriac purée is so good it will have you licking the plate. Desserts and drinks are also incredible here just truly can't go wrong"

"This bar and restaurant was a perfect place to dine, drink, mingle with friends & family, and watch the game. Many screens to view at various angles, generous serving portions, and friendly servers. Only expected complaint from two of the kids in our party was loudness due to the game."

Oak & Coal

★★★★★ 4.5 (728) • $$$

"Oak and Coal has been on my list for a while, thanks to TikTok. It was also on my husband's list to try. Finally made it out with my husband and toddler one Monday evening in October, and we were not disappointed! There was no wait, but the steady foot traffic showed we were in for a treat. Here's what we tried: * Chicken Karaage: Perfectly cooked with a crispy, flavorful batter. The hint of lemon zest in the batter was a great touch, so we didn't even need to add extra lemon. * Chashu Bao Buns: Delicious, fluffy bao buns with pork that was tender and flavorful. Everything in it was perfectly balanced. * Kurobuta Sausage Skewer: The sausage was juicy and flavorful. Can't go wrong with it. * Snake River Wagyu Beef Skewer: Cooked to perfection. The flavor was fantastic, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. * Seared Hamachi: Good, though we've had slightly better. The grilled asparagus was a nice addition, pairing well with the fish.For drinks, my husband tried a bartender's choice cocktail, which was deliciously refreshing. I went with the lychee spritz--light, refreshing, and not overly sweet.Overall, Oak and Coal was an awesome dining experience, and we can't wait to return and explore more of their full bar in the back (reservations only). Highly recommend!"

Andrei's Conscious Cuisine & Cocktails

★★★★☆ 4 (847) • $$$

"Had a fantastic dinner at Andrei's! The cocktails were a perfect start - I had the Good Vibes, a great mix of jalapeño-infused tequila and citrus, and the Lady Lavender, which was light and refreshing with grapefruit and lavender syrup.For appetizers, the Ahi Tuna Tartare was super fresh, and the taro chips added a nice crunch. The Filet Mignon was cooked perfectly, tender and full of flavor, while the Short Ribs were fall-apart delicious with Brussels sprouts and blue cheese whipped potatoes that hit the spot.I also had the Andrei's Chop Salad - fresh, full of roasted chicken, avocado, goat cheese, and candied walnuts. It was a nice, lighter option.To finish, I tried the Lemon Butter Cake, which was tasty but a bit on the dry side, and the Chocolate Budino, which was rich and amazing. Paired it all with a great cup of coffee to end the night.The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was spot on. Definitely recommend this place!"

Bello by Sandro Nardone

★★★★☆ 4.4 (653) • $$$

"Una cena che bello! New year, another visit to bello. Last date here was 7 months ago, and probably 3 months ago when we brought the kids. It again managed to meet expectations and serve authentic quality and delicious food. This is the food you would hope your Italian nonna would make with heart and flavor but elevated for a restaurant atmosphere.Again we enjoyed the limon bello spritz which is served in an incredible large glass. Balanced and lemony.We of course had to have the pizza margarita which is perfect. The crust is chewy and airy and the tomato sauce is imported San marzano that taste so fresh. The lasagna Bianca with the spinach pasta is rich and creamy and decadent while maintaining that comfort you would expect. I admit after trying it last time I booked this reservation knowing I had to order it again. We ordered the special which Sandro should consider adding permanently to his menu: scallops wrapped in prosciutto over a saffron risotto with asparagus and made with fish broth instead of the usual beef or veggie for Milanese style. It was delicious! Only note would be for $54, I would have hoped for at least 4-5 scallops not the three it came with. Had to finish with the lovely hazelnut chocolate tart which is both smooth and creamy yet chewy with the crispy cereal crust."

"Our waiter Jakhori 100% made our experience amazing. He was so attentive and he made my friends experience amazing. They did not have chocolate chip pancakes on the menu. He went to the store across the street and came back with chocolate chips so that the chef could put them in my friends pancakes. That's crazy! Jaws dropped. Wallets open. I recommend due to the outstanding service Jakhori provided. They've got a great team if they let a waiter go and do this. Everyone seems super chill and works together happily. Thank you BR for a great experience. I like your egg chairs outside too."

La Traviata

★★★★☆ 4.2 (604) • $$

"I highly recommend making a reservation as this place is quite small and very popular. The service was excellent. We've been here many times and it never disappoints us. I ate the complimentary bread too quick to take a picture of it. The berry salad is seasonal so if it's available you need to order it. The salad is enough for two people to share and is very refreshing. The lasagna is very hearty and full of flavor. I love how they use two sauces a ragu meat style and a white creamy sauce. My husband ordered the spaghetti carbonara which was as equally delicious. We wouid of loved a dessert but were too full. There's nothing better then homemade pasta. If you haven't tried this restaurant you need to go soon."

"Really enjoyed my Sunday lunch here.We were the only customers here around 1pm but people started trickling in thereafter.Live pianist was playing and he was good. You can make reservations for outside patio on Reesy online. I think outside seating is preferred but with live music I think either are great. Enjoyed my coffee, lasagna, and tried the branzino--all of which was great. Service and view were great and I see myself coming back for dinner sometime."

There is a cute shop area with local home goods and drinks.They have plenty of delicious plant based food, as well as meat so you can bring the whole family / friend group. Our group tried a variety of items from salad to avocado toast to grain bowls. I also ordered a matcha which was actually delicious. You can even come in and order coffee or matcha at the coffee bar.I highly recommend"

The Goldfinch

★★★★☆ 4.2 (576) • $$$

"I'm not typically a fancy food type of guy, so places like this are usually off my radar. But my friend wanted to surprise me with a dinner place, so there I was!PARKING:There's a parking structure where you can park - be sure to validate! It was free for us, but I'm seeing other reviewers say they still had to pay so I guess it only covers a portion of it. But for a quick dinner, we made it out in time.WHAT I ORDERED:Brussels sproutsKnife & fork burgerPicanhaTHE FOOD: Brussels are a MUST! From the first bite, we knew this was going to be a good dining experience. The glaze and bacon made it so addicting. Though I do have to say the brussels here are a little bit more well done than some other places, so if you don't like crispy and some burnt parts, it might be a pass. The knife and fork burger was delicious - the toppings made the burger so luxurious, and the onions were very unique. The picanha was nice and tender, and I can totally see myself ordering that again. Fries were pretty standard, nothing unique, but solid.SERVICE:Our server was SUPER attentive and friendly, and food came out quick. He was more than willing to help us choose what to order - perfect for us undecisive folks.VIBES:Definitely fancy and I would dress up at least a little, but it was still comfy enough for me to walk in with my Crocs on. I can imagine coming back here for a birthday dinner or a date night for sure.BOTTOM LINE:Honestly, I wouldn't say this place blew my mind, but pretty solid dinner spot!"

PALENQUE KITCHEN

★★★★☆ 4.1 (581)

"Finally went here to celebrate birthdays and it was so nice inside. Apparently they are strict on the reservation because one of the girls kept making sure I would be able to make it since she had to reserve with her credit card. This place wasn't even busy and there wasn't even live music that my friends were waiting on. They were very disappointed and kept asking the waiters and all they kept saying was it depends on the night and the crowd. The food was good and even got the patron tower. It was super light with the alcohol so I was able to actually drink it, haha. So many photo opps which we definitely used to our advantage. I would definitely recommend this for groups."

Daimon Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (630) • $$

"12/28/23 This was my second time here. Both early dinners. Last time I was here, we did the teppanyaki, but this time, we just sat at a regular table. It's a must to try both. The teppanyaki chef was very entertaining! Food was delicious. I believe my share was around $80. Looking at the menu, I'm sure I ordered the filet minot but we had many drinks that night so that explains it. All I remember was that the service/chef was amazing and the food was so delicious. Today's order was more simple. We ordered the shrimp tempura, Nigiri/sashimi special, and the Friki Tiki, which is crunchy roll topped with seared albacore and 2 bottles of Kikusui sake. Everything was simple but perfect. We made it on time for happy hour so the food items were a little cheaper. Parking lot is limited. I'm sure you can find a spot on the street. If you're using gps, slow down before you come up on the restaurant because it's on pch - a very busy highway. You might miss it! Overall, 10/10. Great food, great service and love the hole in the wall type of vibes. Will definitely be back to try all their other sushi's."

Wood & Salt Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.2 (514)

"Went to Wood and Salt Tavern to celebrate my friend's birthday and have to say this was a great choice! We picked the carajillo for our drinks which was a great recommendation as we both wanted an espresso martini. The short rib hash was perfect. Juicy and and tender the meat was amazing with the egg and hash! The chicken Parmesan was a great choice too! The cheese on top was just the touch that made it next level! We were so surprised when our server brought in the birthday ice cream even though we didn't mention it to him! Although he did see our IDs when we got our drinks, it made us feel good that he was attentive!"

The Crab Cooker

★★★★☆ 3.6 (693) • $$

"I haven't been to the Crab Cooker for a couple of years and driving by decided to stop in for a quick lunch. It was a bit after 2pm so maybe 20% full. I ordered the steamed clams which were delicious. Of course at the Crab Cooker all food is served on paper/plastic plates with plastic utensils. My clams arrived steaming hot in the broth they were steamed in. They were delicious with the melted butter. As all steamed clams lovers know the best part of the meal is dunking fresh bread in the clam broth. None was brought with the meal so I asked my server if I could have some bread. She advised me that bread didn't come with it so if I wanted some I'd have to buy it. She brought out a loaf of bread, sliced, I said she could slice it, in 10 big slices. I was by myself so I did enjoy 2 of the big slices dipped in the broth. The price of this loaf of bread is $4.95. on top of the steamed clams. I understand if a person wants bread for the table it would be fair if a restaurant wants to charge for it. But I don't think it's good customer service to serve a dish like this without a slice or 2 of bread. I left the majority of the bread on the table. I could have taken it but I'm not a big bread eater except when I want it for special meals. I live alone and there was no one to share with. I'm very disappointed with the "chicken poo poo ' attitude of this restaurant and I'm taking the time to call them out."

Joe’s Italian Restaurant & Bar

"Where to start! Too bad they don't allow for 10 stars. It's a place that is welcoming and truly has the Italian feel. FAMILY. That's joes, when you're here you feel comfortable, attended and the kids get to be kids. The wine selection is top notch and let me start with the food, it's amazing! There isn't an order I've put in that has disappointed. Thank you Joe, you bring a quality product to a family neighborhood. We appreciate you! And to those reviews any less, I think Olive Garden is a great alternative. Give that a try. You're not meant to appreciate small businesses. The liberal tears can shed elsewhere."

"Hubby and I decided to stop by for lunch instead of going to Chan chan after I saw the sign said $4.99 margarita on Monday. We ordered ceviche, and trio fajita plus 3 margarita for 2. They have free chips and salsa as well. We couldn't finished what we ordered and had to pack it home. Flavor wise is good. Ceviche can be with a bit more salt for me but tasted fresh nevertheless. Margaritas were good but could use a bit more of tequila. I saw tacos Tuesday $1.5, will definite come back with my boys to try that and also Sunday brunch $40/person."

"My family and I met here for dinner tonight to celebrate our father's bday since we couldn't meet at our parent's graves we met for dinner. We have been here quite a few times. My Dad's step son used to work here a couple years ago too. It's a nice restaurant it's always busy, the food quality is really good. You can cook in front of you or ask them to cook in the back, which is what we did tonight. There were 8 of us for dinner so we ordered 2 orders of Bulgogi and Beef Brisket. They give you a good amount of banchan too for side dishes. We also ordered Kimchi-jjigae my sister and I shared that, it's our lifelong favorite growing up. A lot of seating in here, but sometimes it gets totally filled up. Our server's name was Kaitlyn, she was really nice. She was her server the last time we came here as well. I just didn't take pictures the last time we came. She's really sweet and got everything we asked for thank you so much, she actually overheard our conversation about my sister and her kids telling us their story about their experience in the fires and how terrifying it was, she felt so bad, asked if we needed anything else she was just really empathetic and kind thank you so very much. It was pretty empty so they were able to hear our conversation easily which we didn't mind. It was really nice of her to ask if we were all OK. What my family went through and what everybody has into during the fires is truly devastating and heartbreaking so our heart goes out to everyone affected by the fires. All the employees here are friendly. It wasn't very busy tonight so we got seated right away. It's very nice restaurant. I highly recommend trying this restaurant if you haven't already. The food is delicious they are pretty quick with getting you everything you need. My one only thing I wish the barley tea was hotter, everything else amazing! Thank you so much for our delicious meal, and excellent customer service.Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :)Aloha"

"I recently came for a company event, and we had the outdoor patio as well as the side party room designated for our group. I had not been here since it was previously the Auld Dubliner, and was pleasantly surprised with the upgrades. I was impressed with the outside patio upgrade, it is very modern, open, and shaded. The patio seems like a great outdoor place to dine in day or night especially when it's warm out. I really enjoyed my experience here because of the great service, food, atmosphere, and mariachi band. The live mariachi band had the house packed, I believe they come on weekend nights. They were really good, and not overwhelmingly loud. The event preset menu had some great options. We enjoyed some of the restaurant favorites, the birria tacos and suiza enchiladas, and they were on point! The birria tacos were delicious, and and great flavor. My margarita was delicious as well.I will definitely be back for those birria tacos!"
