"I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this coffee shop; there’s an impressive amount of artwork on display, and I'm even considering purchasing one of the pieces. While I was wandering around the café, I noticed a large dining table where five students were deeply engrossed in their laptops and textbooks. It’s worth mentioning that schools are closed for Christmas, which likely explains why they were there. I’ve been to coffee shops that impose time limits unless you’re actively making a purchase, but this place felt much more inviting. The iced coffee I ordered was amazing, and the staff was very courteous. Ultimately, it’s all about creating a space that makes people want to return, and we definitely plan to come back. Best wishes to everyone there! – J.V.N."

"Took my mom out to lunch here. It was a beautiful walk up to the door. Lots of flowering bushes and greenery. Not impressed by the hostess. She was a bit short with us and not at all welcoming. Our server Kelly on the other hand was amazing. Just theright amount of professional and fun. This is not a cheap place to eat. Appetizers are minimum $17 and the sirloin I got was$31 for a 10 ounce. It was tender and while I realize its not the most flavorful cut it was their cheapest cut. I normally payaround $22 elsewhere for a New York cut. They go very light on seasoning. I had a baked potato and Mac and cheese for sides. Mymom had the baby back ribs, mashed potatoes coleslaw. She didn't like the coleslaw and said the ribs were but I heard her talkmore about having so many bone pieces to watch for. The gave us delicious corn bread for snack and the brought these tinycomplimentary donuts. My mom liked the donuts but I did not. I felt they were oily and left a film in my mouth. It was ok and Ididn't refuse the food but honestly I wouldn't go back. I will say the guy at the next table over got the nachos appetizer andit was a huge plate if you are into nachos. This place to me was too expensive and I expected to be wowed by the taste and Iwasn't. I have had much better steaks, even sirloins cheaper elsewhere."

"Stopped here for dinner to go and it was easy to order online, fast service and a friendly delivery to the car, guy. The only thing was, when I checked the order after already arriving home it was missing sauce...YES, as in, NO SAUCE over the pasta and no side sauce, which were both requested. Talk about upset!!! I contacted the Manager immediately and he made it all better for me as his apology was sincere and he returned my charges plus, gave me a gift to grab another dish. You ROCK!!! I 'm not going to lie!!! Everyone who knows me, knows that OLIVE GARDEN IS MY SPOT so, I was no longer upset once he addressed the problem. I unfortunately, had pasta with no sauce so I saved it. The next day, I went to grab sauce to complete the meal, even though, I didn 't want to go outside but, I also didn 't want to toss it either). We all know that pasta can taste better the next day therfore, it was yummy I 'm honestly not sure what these cook 's were thinking‍‍ Hooray to the a manager Andrew I believe, that 's his name) Thank you for taking care of the #1 OLIVE GARDEN FAN!"

"Looks shady but damn the Pho is good. I got the meatless bone broth Pho and my husband got the Bun Bo Hue.I think this was the first time I didn't need to add anything to the Pho since the flavor was perfect. It was rich and fragrant. You could taste the lemongrass and the beef stock. So good. My husband's dish was fantastic as well. He really enjoyed all the meat (except the tendon) and the spicy broth reminded me of my Viet friend from elementary school who's mom made the exact same thing and it was always so good even if you end up sniffling for the rest of the day. The waitress was nice and prompt. The only issue is it is not a very comfortable atmosphere. Its a little too dark and there is some broken furniture in a heap in the corner. But, everything was clean and with the delicious food, we will be going back."

"To avoid writing an essay in this review: I'm going to start by saying this is the best restaurant when it comes to sushi in the valley. I have not found a single restaurant that even competes. Sekai has an amazing range of items to order from, each presented in a simplistic yet refined way. Beyond the exceptional quality, the price points for the menu items are more than fair; I can come in on a lunch break, eat, and be out without any wait and for the effort and passion put into the dishes, I hardly feel like I'm paying enough! Swing by here for a most memorable meal, and to support one of the best establishments in the valley."
