"Food: The table-side guacamole was a highlight, allowing us to customize it to our preferences and dietary restrictions. Unfortunately, the chips seemed to be store-bought, which detracted from the overall flavor experience. Homemade chips would have significantly elevated the dish. Service: Our server was polite but seemed to lack knowledge about the ingredients and preparation of the dishes. At times, it felt like we were testing his patience. Atmosphere: The noise level increased as the evening progressed, making it difficult to have a conversation."

"I ordered a Grilled Chicken Club with guacamole spread and a side of chili cheese fries. The chili on the fries was overly sweet, and the meat had a mushy texture, reminiscent of Manwich or Sloppy Joe. The sandwich itself was just okay—lacking in flavor—while the guacamole spread tasted bitter and was starting to turn gray. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish the meal due to the taste. On a positive note, the packaging was good, and nothing spilled."

"This relaxed corner restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating options. You order at the counter and wait for your name to be called. We sampled the sashimi wrap, which is like a sushi burrito (we chose to leave out the jalapeños), and the kali nachos. The wrap was packed with ample pieces of fish and was quite tasty. The kali nachos featured wonton chips topped with surimi crab and a drizzle of soy sauce. However, the sauce was a bit too strong, making the dish a touch salty."

"Osteria fusoli It's been over 10 years since I first visited and always longed to return, hoping it would stay true to its roots. Happy to report all is as I remembered it to be as they celebrate 20 years in business. A true trattoria experience with an elegant atmosphere at a reasonable price. It's the only Italian restaurant I'd recommend in the entire Yolo county. My appetizer polenta con piselli was excellent. Grilled polenta cakes topped with melted buffalo mozzarella, peas, and pickled lemon. They offer an incredible selection of other appetizers plus fresh soups and salads. This evening's entree was il pesce del giorno. A pan seared sea bass with roasted fennel, fresh herbs, beurre blanc and tomato. Outstanding and delicate. The dessert menu didn't really wow me, so I asked them to make an affogato which is always a pleasure. Beer and wine only, no liquor so no aperitif or digestif here. This is my only gripe. Elegant atmosphere without being too stuffy. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Service was excellent and professional. Thanks Mateo."

"Having grown up in a culture where hospitality is paramount, this experience was disheartening. I felt deeply hurt by the interaction. Instead of offering any guidance on the menu, the staff member quickly said no, which felt more like an attack than a service. It would have been better to receive a polite refusal with an alternative suggestion, but instead, I was met with a brusque rejection. The staff member seemed to take pleasure in making me uncomfortable, and I left without even having the chance to try the place out. The encounter deeply affected me, leaving me feeling dehumanized. As someone on the autism spectrum, social situations can be incredibly challenging for me, and this experience left me feeling overwhelmed and hurt."
