"My husband saw the Grilled Italian Chicken with Fettuccine Marinara Sauce on their menu and was super excited to try it! he ended up getting it spicy and said it was delicious! there was enough chicken left to even make a chicken Parmesan sandwich as leftovers!!!! I tend to get Angel Hair with Meat Sauce or with marinara and its always delicious and they always follow instructions when I request sauce on the side!"

"I used Albero to deliver food to my brother's wake. I was extremely stressed trying to plan everything from St. Louis on a tight timeline, and Hassan could not have been more professional or helpful. He made great suggestions and was available to answer any and all questions. The food was wonderful, and the gentlemen who delivered the food took the time to make sure everything was set up correctly. He even helped me get the chafing dishes that I brought set up correctly! Just a whole other level of service beyond what I was expecting. I can't thank them enough for everything they did. My only regret is we didn't have enough time to visit the restaurant before we had to drive back, but we definitely will on our next visit."

"I was invited to lunch by a friend who frequents Manna Wok. He talks about how great the food is all the time. He eats there at least once a week. Anyway I came expecting Pho. However, I did not find it on the menu, so instead I opted for teriyaki chicken and fried rice. The chicken was delish! Perfectly cooked and tender. I can tell that the teriyaki sauce was made from scratch, so was the soy sauce. The fried rice wasn't as fried as I expected it to be, but it was also surprisingly delicious, so I still wasn't disappointed! My meal came with choice of soup or salad, of which I chose soup. Egg drop soup to be exact. Added my own salt and pepper and and scarfed it down pretty quickly! I will be back to try other stuff, for sure!"

"As a Gluten free couple and myself being only a fish eater (no meat) there are very few quality restaurants my husband and I find that we can truly enjoy in the city of Wichita. Most places do have one or two choices for those with my dietary requirements, but often they seem like an afterthought. The Belmont is now added to our short list of regular places we plan to dine. We met Tory, the owner who sat us to our cozy booth, and immediately began to offer creative GF takes on several of their dishes. I was offered a decontructed bruchetta where the fillings were served on a lettuce plate and in place of some of the meat component was offered a side of nice smoked salmon for protein. I added the olive snack and was delighted with the red and green selection. My husband had the burger (hold the bun) and loved his meal. We splurged on sharing a dish of homemade vanilla ice cream for dessert. It was fresh and tasty! My only suggestion would be to keep some rice or GF flour on hand in the kitchen to possibly offer some of the breaded or fried dishes as GF options. (Yes even with a shared fryer, there are many such as my husband and I who are not celiac who have found shared fryers make no difference) Fully 30% of the public considers themselves GF. It is so easy to get a box of quality GF pasta or sub out some GF or Rice flour to dredge for frying. I find Rice flour to make for a crisper dredge anyway! I truly wish more Wichita restaurants would attempt to provide more varied dishes for us GF restaurant goers. Wouldn't you like 30% of your client base to be thrilled to head your way for good GF dish options? Just offering starchy GF sandwich buns (not what the Belmont does) is not a creative answer."

"Larcher's Market was a last-minute choice, but I ended up having an amazing breakfast there. I originally planned to have lunch, but I was getting too hungry to wait an hour. I went for the B.E.C. Sammie, which included bacon, scrambled eggs, Havarti cheese, Larcher’s sauce, and arugula, all sandwiched between two slices of rosemary garlic focaccia. The focaccia stood out as some of the freshest, best bread I’ve ever tasted—it truly made the sandwich. The arugula was dressed in a red wine vinaigrette, showing the extra care Larcher's puts into their dishes. The eggs were incredibly fluffy, and the bacon was cooked almost perfectly. Saying I enjoyed this sandwich is an understatement. Seriously, that bread was unforgettable. As for the atmosphere, I’d give it 30 stars if I could. I’m slowly becoming obsessed with this place. Larcher's Market has a friendly staff and a space that feels both modern and cozy. For a late breakfast, I tried the Crispy Chicken Biscuit, and once again, Larcher's nailed it. The biscuit was clearly baked fresh that morning—light and buttery. The chicken was hand-breaded, juicy, and had the perfect crunch. The sunny-side-up egg was cooked just right, and the pico de gallo was fresh. The cheese was simple—a slice of American, from what I could tell. My only critique is that the sausage gravy could’ve used a bit more seasoning and perhaps a touch more butter. Other than that, the Crispy Chicken Biscuit was outstanding. I love Larcher’s so much that I brought my friend Brooke for her first visit. She ordered the Turkey Club (not pictured), and I had the Breakfast Sammie. Her sandwich looked great, but I can only speak about mine, which had pork sausage, hash browns, over-hard eggs, a brioche bun, American cheese, and jalapeño jam. The sausage had a unique flavor, and the sweet-spicy jalapeño jam really elevated the sandwich. The brioche bun was freshly baked, soft, and fluffy—something I haven’t had in a while. The hash browns were crispy and the perfect finishing touch. After trying their food, I’m convinced Larcher's Market serves some of the best breakfast in Wichita. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
