Prime rib was so tender! But the real star was the cheesecake with caramel whiskey bacon - my friends and I were fighting over the last bite. Perfect for sharing (or not sharing, haha).

The buffalo cauliflower was a pleasant surprise, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Solid veggie options for this neighborhood.

Nice spot with live music on one side and a chill bar area with a pool table on the other. Staff was friendly and attentive. A pretty good place for a casual evening out.

The square pizza was a nice surprise, crispy and flaky. Their house red was a solid pairing for it.

Been coming here for years. The lattes are huge, and the pastries are solid. Good amount of seats inside and out. It&#39;s my go-to for a quiet morning coffee. Prices are fair for the area.

Miranda was so patient with all our questions, even while juggling a ton of tables. The cashier offered us a slice of pie on the way out, which was a nice touch.

Family-run spot, you can feel it. Staff&rsquo;s always nice. That fruity pebble donut though&mdash;never seen anything like it. Kinda sweet, but fun.

The upstairs dining area is pretty nice. It&rsquo;s cozy and you get a decent view of the lake. Made for a relaxed dinner. The food was fine, though a bit on the pricier side.

Grabbed a beer here after our morning hike. The vibe is so cool with all the old photos on the walls &mdash; perfect for catching up with friends. The tap list was solid. A nice, easy spot to hang out.

The portions are huge, seriously. I got the chicken parm and it was like two meals in one. You can see them making the pasta fresh in the back. Staff was super nice too.

Our server was really attentive and gave some solid menu suggestions. Food came out quickly and looked nice on the plate. Just a good, smooth experience.

Server was on point. Knew the menu inside out, gave solid recommendations without hovering. Made the whole meal flow nicely.

I was so happy to find a place with so many gluten-free choices. The breakfast sandwich was really good. The staff was super friendly and patient when I had questions about the menu. Made for a very relaxed morning.

Loved the pepperoni roll here! The dough was perfect, and the pepperoni had this nice little kick. It&rsquo;s the kind of spot you bring friends for a chill bite and a good chat. The little market section is cute too.

Been coming here for years, and the quality never dips. The ingredients are always top-notch, like the fish in their signature dish. It&rsquo;s not cheap, but you get what you pay for. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

Huge chicken parmesan portion, easily shareable. The house salad was crisp and fresh. Their wine list had a nice Chianti that paired perfectly with the rich tomato sauce. A solid choice for a casual dinner.

Been coming here for years. The crabmeat is always real, not that imitation stuff. You can really taste the difference in their salads. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

The staff here is so welcoming, they treat you like you&#39;ve been coming for years. It&#39;s a nice touch that makes the whole place feel cozy and relaxed.

Asia was so sweet and professional. She really took care of us, and it made the whole evening feel just right.

Busy Friday night but snagged a table outside. Perfect for watching the street scene on a warm evening. The outdoor space is surprisingly spacious even when crowded.

The pizza here is solid&mdash;fresh ingredients and ready in 20 minutes. The staff was really nice, too.
