"A few weeks ago, we received two cheesecakes from family members. I typically don't enjoy commercial cheesecakes, but these were as good as any homemade version I've ever had! The texture was wonderfully soft, and the taste was delicious, completely surpassing my expectations. We kept one in the fridge for a few days before enjoying it, while we stored the other in the freezer for a New Year's dinner party last night. Everyone who tasted it raved about it, even those who usually don't like cheesecakes. Bravo, Cheesy Eddie! I will definitely be ordering from you again. In fact, I think I might save a piece for later!"

"What a fantastic restaurant! The service was absolutely fabulous, the restaurant is beautiful clean, the food was just to die for! The appetizers were so delicious. The goat cheese was my favorite! I had the vegan stroganoff it was great. It was hearty, I brought home leftovers. It was fine dining, but without the pricetag. They were warm welcoming. The flavors were dreamy. We were carried away in our conversation stayed longer than we realized, still they treated us so well. I can't wait to go back! You have to check this place out."

"The cheeseburger platter was absolutely delicious, and the coffee and ice water were great as well. The waitress was very kind and genuine, so I decided to give her the entire $20. It really brightened my day, and I felt full until about 6 PM. I'm so glad this restaurant is still around. Thank you so much!"

"Absolutely heavenly! Whenever we're in the mood for a fantastic experience, we make our way to Tapas. We've never had a bad meal there. The owners are amazing—friendly and genuine. We've sampled most of their menu and appreciate the diverse options they offer. Without a doubt, the Tartar Napolean is the best you'll ever taste! And the Mussels with Fries? Pure delight in a bowl! We adore the atmosphere—it's romantic, intimate, and comforting. If I could own a restaurant, it would be Tapas!"

"Let me start with the pros, because there weren 't many. First, since this was our first time here and I have been looking forward to eating here for years, it took a little bit longer to order. The waitress was kind enough to get my two children 's orders in first since they were hungry. Their food came out as expected. Second, my Chicken Piccata was outstanding. End of pros. Cons: The moment we get there, the host and waitresses are bickering about where to seat my family consisting of me, my wife, my 4yr old, and my 1 yr old who needs a high chair. Worst yet, they are bickering where to seat them because they don 't want the high chair at certain tables (this place was half empty, and there was plenty of space to walk around a high chair at any of the tables). So, they stuck us in the corner of the restaurant. The atmosphere was quiet, but quite a dark setting. The men 's restroom was unkept with a door that had tape on the door handle lock and the cover to the back of the toilet was hanging half-off. We get our food, and my wife 's gnocchi were a little tough, but the red sauce was the worst of it. I 'd compare it to a little more than a can of Ragu sauce. My 4yr old even said the sauce is not good . Again, my Chicken Piccata was excellent, however, from the many reviews I 've read from here, the portions were supposed to be large, and this was not (and would have been nice if there were more than four mushrooms on it). Before the worst part of the meal, I 'm going explain what my wife and I did during our time here. When we were seated and throughout the course our meal we made sure that our table was easy to clean up by putting down placemats down where our children ate. Furthermore, we made sure plates were stacked when finished, and the table was properly bused before our waitress would come to take them. This was the worst part: after we all finished, we waited a good long while and my kids were getting impatient. We apologized for the mess that my 1yr old made under his high chair, but it 's not abnormal for children to make messes. Waitress finally came over and handed us the check, but had THE NERVE to say to my wife, oh your [oldest] son is making it worse, he 's grinding the food into the carpet, here 's some napkins clean it up. My 4yr old was not stepping on it on purpose, and I find it absurd and rude to tell a paying customer to clean your floor in your restaurant regardless of the level of mess. I didn 't see the waitress tell the old man sitting next to us to get down on his hands and knees to clean the spaghetti pieces and bread crumbs he left around his chair. Sadly, this first experience will be our last here. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3"
