"Great place to get a burger and fries. The prices are outstanding for what you get. Perfect amount of fries not too much or too little and you can upgrade to curly fries for cheap, like $1 more or something. I got the biggest burger they have with curly fries and a drink and it came out to $14! You can't beat that anywhere. And my order was ready fast. Not too fast which lets you know that it wasn't sitting around. Double thumbs up for this place, if my feet had thumbs I would give them four.Parking: Lots of places to park, enough room to roll up and park with my trailer no problem with other people parked and another guy parked with his dump trailer."

"My family and I frequently go on trips to Lancaster but we never managed to try out Latte Luv. However, recently we decided that it was finally time to try it out and I wish we had done so sooner. The staff there is incredibly nice and welcoming. Their patience and attentiveness is what so many other shops lack. The coffee was fantastic. The cinnabon flavor was certainly there, but it was not unbearably sweet. They had recommended the peach scone so we tried it out. It was absolutely delicious. The texture and taste were perfect. It didn’t really taste like peach specifically, but it was so good. Definitely would come again. We came back again recently service was amazing, if not miraculously better. We stocked up on baked goods and coffee because of how delicious they were our first time. The scone, again was delicious, along with everything else we got."

"Ate here w our kids and had a nice meal. Kids had a buffet designed for them which worked out great and. Ore higher end restaurants should heed this call. $15 each but included lots of choices which kids love as well as deserts and a drink. I had the swordfish which was a bit overdone and a bit tasteless. My wife had the filet which was served over a tomatoe based medley of zucchini and squash which really didn't go with it very well. Read reviews and told side of Russell sprouts was roasted but they arrived steamed and again tasteless. All in the best part of the meal was our excellent waiter. Ate at pacific grille the night before and that meal was a lot tastier."

"I had made a reservation for 7:30. It was my son's birthday. We also stayed at the River Crab hotel there . We were seated at 7:45 At 8:05 No one still had come to.our table. Had to ask for water and 8:15 a boy brought us water and said he would send over a waitress. 8:30 still no waitress Got up and told the hostess to please send a waitress. 8 :40 still no one. Every waitress passed out table like we were not even there. I.was so upset that we got up and left the restaurant and went somewhere else.to eat. There were 4 of us and my son's birthday was totally ruined!!!!!. I have never in my life treated so poorly at a restaurant. I will be sure to tell my friends of the horrible service we received. NO EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF SERVICE!!!!!!!!!"

"I booked an early dinner and wanted to try this place out for a while. After reading some of the reviews I was a little reluctant, but we were seated immediately. Ordered drinks, the bar was a little slow but nothing to complain about. My wife ordered the steak salad which was good. I ordered the prime burger and sweet potato fries and a salad. Burger was really good, two patties made to order, they brought fries instead of the candy but they corrected the mistake and the sweet potato fries were yummy. Would have been better hot. The salad was fresh with two large strips of bacon. Overall, the food, the service and the ambience of the restaurant were somewhere between fair and good. Could give them another shot but wouldn't rush back."

"Excellent ! We loved the food and the drinks! Innovative and interesting menu and the dishes are as tasty as they sound. Four of us shared a sampler appetizer plate, Mantoo, A vegetarian plate, and Beef Kofta kabob with saffron rice. The portions were ample, but not huge, and had distinctive, well balanced flavors. We will be back!"

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."

"Have eaten here several times. Was surprised that with a reservation we were still sitting at a booth looking into the kitchen. We could have asked to be moved, but we didn't want to. The waiter was very enthusiastic, but failed to fill glasses of water without being asked. My husband's lasagna was a huge brick in the middle of an unadorned plate. A little salad or something green and crispy would have been nice. Not an à la carte fan, especially when it comes to the price of the main course alone. The room was very dark and a bit noisy. I would ask not to sit in this area another time."

"Placed a special order and did receive what I ordered. I called them and informed the said to be manager who took my order and she said she will write my name down and when I return they will correct it. This is not a location that I often visit so when I attempted to get my order corrected and the now said to be only manager Jimena said you only have 3 days after the error to pick it up. (This was not stated when I spoke with the lady on the phone who I also told I am not in the area often) she was extremely RUDE. She told me that she was the only manager so I asked for the number to corporate and she gave me a 702 I called it as she texted the person that she gave me the to and no one answered so I left a voice-mail explaining what was happening and Jimena tells me that I was lying about my order date and said they have cameras with you saying the wrong date (this conversation was being had as I was leaving the voice-mail). I would not recommend going to this location that offers HORRIBLE SERVICE. The number Jimena gave me text me back after I texted it requesting a call back ASAP and stated Ok, I will call you as soon as I finish with a meeting . As I 'm now reading the responses from other reviews I see they send you a link to submit a complaint so I should start that process now. Hopefully I get a better response since I was later told that the that was given to me was not corporate but her manager and this is a franchise so they don 't have corporate which seems weird because the link that 's being provided is jack in the box website (corporation). Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Dietary restrictions: Make sure you check your order because they will mess it up."

"It had been a few years since we last dined at Zocalo, but our recent visit proved that it was just as excellent as we remembered. While some of our favorite dishes were still on the menu, we were pleasantly surprised to see some new options as well. The selection at Zocalo stands out among the many restaurants in Charlottesville, offering innovative and exciting choices. I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked duck breast with a delicious sauce, braised chard, and an onion manchego bread pudding. My wife was more than satisfied with her salmon dish. My starter, the tuna tartare, was absolutely divine and had a flavorful kick. I highly recommend dining at Zocalo for a memorable and delicious experience."

"This charming Italian restaurant has a nostalgic feel that transports you to another era. Despite the snowy day, the lunch crowd was light but the food was fantastic. The bread was fresh and tasty, the homemade minestrone was light and aromatic, and the shrimp were top-notch. It was my girlfriend's birthday and our waiter surprised us with a delightful dessert accompanied by a personalized message in chocolate. We will definitely be returning in the future."

"We drove two hours for my husband's birthday brunch on Sunday. We had hoped to sit outdoors and watch the freighters go by. The outdoor patio was closed and that was sad since it was such a lovely day. This was not mentioned on their website. Our server, Tony was personable and perfect. He was the best thing about our dining experience. We won't be going back since the food was just fair and a disappointment. There were several choices but the fish was mushy, the beef and peppers were chewy, the eggs Benedict were overcooked, the bacon was too salty. The desserts were substandard. The peach cobbler was made with canned peaches, the eclairs and strudel were still frozen. My husband did like the waffles, roast beef, ham and breakfast sausages. Others had told us the food wasn't that great but we wanted to dine outdoors so we took a chance. We should have listened to our friends and family."

"Stuck in Mickey-land for a convention, a group of us were looking for a Sunday brunch spot. Oscar's at the Waldorf sounded like what we wanted and off we went. Although I'm not a lover of buffets, this one looked amazing, with more variety than usual, including a smoked salmon bar, prosciutto bar and honey dripping from a honeycomb! There were a lot of family's with kids, so it was a bit noisy, but that didn't really detract...everything the group of 4 tried, we loved. Only 2 things that were a little strange were that the cost of the buffet only included Mimosas, not **** Marys and there were no Eggs Benedict on the buffet??What impressed me most though was the commitment to making the customer happy. When I got to the salmon bar, it was empty, although two staff members I asked told me it would be restocked. When I mentioned it to our waiter, he came back and said they'd run out, which was disappointing. The manager came over an apologized, said they'd even sent over to the next door Hikton but they were out til Monday...not what I wanted to hear. 15 minutes later the manager appeared with a plate heaped with the best smoked salmon I've had in a long time....THAT is service."

"I took my mother to the Two Sisters restaurant for her birthday last Sunday. We were immediately greeted and informed about the brunch options (i.e. buffet versus brunch specials and other adjustments, such as turkey bacon instead of pork). I think this is a great place for a relaxed brunch and definitely for a mother-daughter date. We loved the food and the service. We drove to a Groupon and will definitely drive again without the Groupon. Worth it."

"Our family enjoyed the outdoor seating and the waiters did a great job of quickly pushing other tables in when it was raining out of the blue. We were under an umbrella and a big tree and didn't have to move and the rain stopped quickly. Our teenage kids weren't in many nice restaurants and they loved the creative starters, especially the homemade croutons on the Caesar salad, delicious! We all had very good meals and were too full for dessert, which is unfortunate because I have eaten the chocolate bread pudding with baileys before and it is divine! There are so many tasty options and we enjoyed the scallops as well as the duck, key lime chicken and the flank. You can't go wrong!"

"I just picked up our delicious dinner orders from Maria's Kitchen in Paradise and added an additional order for two dozen of Maria's fantastic delicacies. I've been feeding Maria's Kitchen well in front of the Camp Fire and never really disappointed. Her food is always excellent, freshly made and reflects the love and passion she has for cooking. I have lived in paradise and in the upper comb since 1972 and the numerous Mexican restaurants come and go, and have experienced both good and non-so-good cuisine from all. Some lost their passion, some lacked the knowledge to cook excellent food, and some bent under the pressure of constant competition. Maria and her hard work team, including members of her family) are obliged to offer an amazing menu that reflects her culture, and are obliged to offer phenomenal meals for our community. Thank you Maria for holding with our Ridge Post Campfire, and for sharing your completed and skillful cooking with us all."

"I ordered the breakfast burrito, and I was pleasantly surprised by its size—it was huge! It was full of flavor, with delicious chorizo inside, and they even have Cholula hot sauce available if you like a little extra kick. My friend had The Sailor's Delight, which was another generous portion and just as tasty! He also got a coffee, which was your typical diner brew. The bathrooms were clean as well. Overall, we had a great experience. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"We made reservations for an anniversary dinner. Ruth's Chris doesn't disappoint. Food was great, service was awesome and the ambiance was nice. This was a first visit to this location on LaCantera Parkway. Downside was my vehicle being broke into and ruining the rest of our evening plans. Signs said surveyed by camera - no necessarily true. The buildings are surveyed. Of course, not really the fault of Ruth's Chris but waiting an hour to report it since we live just outside SA was definitely a downer. Next time - UBER for sure."
