Nice little BYOB spot. The lamb korma was the star for me&mdash;so creamy and had this subtle nutty flavor that really came through. Ate the whole thing.

The Cajun mac and cheese was pretty good, and the chicken and waffles were solid. The French onion soup was definitely the highlight for me. The fritters are a decent shareable starter.

Their Old Fashioned was fantastic! It&#39;s the kind of drink that makes you want to linger and chat with friends. We ended up staying way longer than planned just because of it. 🍸

The 15-course tasting menu is a commitment, but I&#39;m glad I did it. The prawn ceviche was a standout, so fresh and bright. Portions were actually pretty generous for this kind of place.

The Mariachi trio tacos are solid, but I really like the vibe here. It&#39;s a nice spot to just hang out.

The bourbon pecan cheesecake was so good we all ordered it. Perfect for a group lunch.

Our server was great, really knew her wines and made a spot-on pairing suggestion. The check-in was a bit chaotic at first, though.

The spiced pear gin cocktail was a standout, with a nice balance of ginger and botanicals. The mocktails were solid too.

Our server always takes the time to explain the details, like the dough fermentation.

We&#39;ve been coming here for years, the paella is our go-to. The portion is huge, easily feeds two people. We always have leftovers to take home. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The rooftop seating was a nice surprise. Perfect for a mild evening. I appreciated that they had a few lighter, veggie-focused dishes on the menu up there too. The greens in my salad tasted incredibly fresh. A lovely spot to unwind.

The crepes were crispy on the edges and soft inside. Really fresh fillings, and the booth seating was so comfortable.

The bread is really good here, fresh and warm. I had a simple pasta dish, and the sauce was decent, not too heavy. It&#39;s a nice spot for a quiet dinner, though the tables are a bit close together.

Nick was super helpful when my order got mixed up. He fixed it quickly and made sure everything was good.

BYOB is a nice touch. The vibe is cozy and casual, great for families. We brought a bottle of red and the staff opened it for us without any fuss. Food came out at a good pace. A solid, relaxed spot for a weeknight dinner.

Classic dive bar with a solid patio. The shaded tent area was nice on a hot day. Just grabbed a beer and hung out with my dog for a bit. Pretty chill spot.

The passion fruit green tea was just right, not overly sweet, and the boba had a nice chew. The Vietnamese noodles were a solid choice. The space itself is really nice, with a kind of industrial but warm feel. It&#39;s a comfortable spot to hang out for a bit.

The online ordering system is a lifesaver during the lunch rush. I grabbed my usual spicy chicken sandwich in under five minutes from the kiosk outside. Makes a hectic workday much easier.

The chips and salsa were so fresh, you could taste it. The avocado with the Tortuga wings was a nice touch, really balanced the spice. My Pollo Mole was packed with flavor, loved the depth. Just a really solid meal focused on good ingredients.

Grabbed a plain cheese pie near campus. It&#39;s a solid spot for a quick bite. The crust was just right, not too thick. Simple but good.

Lunch was solid. The Birria Disco Fries were the star &ndash; the cheese and consomm&eacute; were just right. Chicken Pot Pie was cozy and flaky. Yari, our server, was on it. Parking cost a few bucks on a Sunday, which was a bummer.

Grabbed a seat at the chef&#39;s counter and watching the kitchen hustle was the best part. Love the open layout.

Efes is my go-to for a casual hang downtown. Love that it&#39;s BYOB and you can bring your pup to the patio. The ezme and falafel sandwich totally hit the spot. Service was quick, which is great when you&#39;re just catching up with friends.

The BYOB policy is such a win for a casual night out with friends. We brought our own wine and split the eggplant parm and a pizza. The portions are huge, so sharing is definitely the move. It just makes for a really easy, relaxed dinner.

Stopped by for a hot chocolate. Got the Parisian one and a chocolate chip cookie. The place has a cool old-school pub feel, really clean. Staff was friendly. Just a solid, cozy spot downtown.

The lemon macaron is really good. The desserts all look lovely, and the seating is quite comfortable.

Convenient spot near Princeton campus. Grabbed a quick lunch, the place was buzzing. Solid local staple.

Been coming here for years, and their dark chocolate ice cream is still the reason. It&#39;s got that deep, rich flavor without hitting you with too much sweetness. Just smooth and satisfying every single time.

The baba ganoush here is my new obsession. So smoky and creamy, and the pita bread is always warm and pillowy. It&#39;s the one thing I keep coming back for.

Gluten-free noodles are a solid option here. I went with the &#39;N0&#39; spice and added cilantro - it had a nice, gentle kick. The broth was clean and flavorful. A good spot when you&#39;re craving something light.
