"??????? The worst Customer Service experience ever!! We walked in at 10:34PM confirming with the security that pizza will be available (Keep in mind that we only went there for the pizza. Upon ordering immediately with the bartender, we waited about 30min for our order. It never showed up! So we asked the bartender what’s going on. To our ultimate surprise, the bartender whoclaimed to be the manager ultimately, was quite rude and kept interrupting us trying to shut us down. She rudely interrupted ourconversation between us and our friend and started yelling at us for addressing our situation Eventually, she said we were donefor the night and closed our tab because we were talking to our friends and told them what happened to our orders. As one of thenew property owner in this town, I felt extremely violated. We felt our tone of our skin(brown l played a major part in thebartenders behavior. We don’t play race cards but that’s the only conclusion we could’ve possibly came up with for thebartenders behavior! ??????????? We couldn’t believe how we was treated in this place. The worst!! We are extremelydisappointed. ????????"

"Last night was no exception. Despite the restaurant buzzing with diners, including a celebrity group at the large round table beneath a whimsical mural of a giant octopus attacking a ship (I couldn't help but joke about enjoying one of its relatives as I waited for my appetizer), the atmosphere remained lively yet welcoming. Chef Mike oversees the kitchen with passion and creativity, making it a point to personally greet guests, often alongside his sous chef Sarah. Their visits feel like a warm addition to the dining experience rather than an interruption, and they are always eager to share insights about the dishes and their inspirations. You never know who might be dining nearby, adding to the restaurant’s charm. The “captain’s table,” known for its lazy Susan, was occupied by notable figures like actor/comedian Tate Donovan, AMD's senior vice president Forrest Norrod, and actress Sadie Sink, among others. They were enjoying their evening as we arrived and continued to do so as we wrapped up our meal. I started the evening with a delightful passionfruit cocktail, followed by Korean fried octopus and wild Hokkaido scallops that nearly made me swoon. The octopus was incredibly tender—best I’ve ever had—coated in a delightful sweet, savory, and spicy sauce that complemented it perfectly. Free of heavy breading, the octopus truly stood out. The scallops were cooked to perfection, accompanied by a potato strata, homemade blue potato chips, and a creamy sauce elegantly poured over the dish by our server. My companions enjoyed the yin yang roll, onion baddies (which I sampled and found indescribably delicious!), as well as the Long Island Duck and Fisherman’s Stew—all reported to be excellent. Chef Mike certainly excels at fusion cuisine! For dessert, we knew we couldn't hold back, as all desserts are made in-house by Sous Chef Sarah. We shared the Cherry Poppin' toffee pudding, carrot cake, and Rhubarb Rose. Unfortunately, due to a chocolate allergy at our table, we missed trying the Choc Daddy, but I fully intend to return soon to sample it. The Cherry Poppin’ offered a delightful twist on toffee pudding, using tangy dried sour cherries instead of the usual dates and brightening the dish with Meyer lemons in the sauce. The Rhubarb Rose was a visual masterpiece reminiscent of Willy Wonka: bright and colorful, built on a gluten-free almond cake layered with poached rhubarb, a rich vanilla-rhubarb mousse, lime streusel, and charming curls of rhubarb crisps. Absolutely delicious! The carrot cake was undoubtedly the best I’ve ever tasted, showcasing Chef Sarah's ability to deliver desserts that are nuanced and balanced—decadent yet never overly sweet—a perfect finale to a truly delightful meal shared with great company, all while overlooking a gorgeous view. Just go already! (However, if you dislike waiting, be sure to make a reservation, and for a quieter experience, consider visiting on a Thursday or Sunday.)"

"We started with a seafood salad that combined freshly squeezed citrus and olive oil with shrimp, crab, and calamari. It was incredibly fresh and had a delightful, refreshing taste. Next, we enjoyed a salad of baby arugula, dried cranberries, blue cheese crumbles, red onion, candied pecans, and sliced pears, topped with creamy balsamic vinaigrette. This was paired with skirt steak, which was cooked to perfection—again, very fresh and delicious. We also tried grilled Spanish chorizo and shrimp sautéed in garlic and olive oil, served over potatoes, and it was simply wonderful. The menu is small, but the daily specials are enticing. We definitely plan to return!"

"If you’re someone who enjoys mediocrity look no further. This is the best place for bland food and slow service. My eggplant wrap had ingredients on it that I didn’t ask for, and my husbands chicken cutlet wedge had zero flavor. Even though the place was next to empty, it took the woman working behind the counter a solid 10 minutes to even acknowledge our presence and hand us our order which we had called in BTW. Needless to say, we won’t be returning unless there’s a zombie apocalypse and every deli closes, except for this one…"

"This restaurant is very humble and easy to miss if you are not paying attention. However, if you like Middle Eastern food, it is worth making the effort to visit. We got the lamb gyro and a lamb wrap for a quick snack, and also bought some pantry items. The meat was flavorful and the pickles and sauce complemented it well. In addition, the prices are fair and the service is friendly. Just note that they open at 2:30pm if you are planning to go for lunch. Overall, it is a local spot that I would definitely recommend supporting."
