"What truly distinguishes this place are the flavors. The Eggs Benedict with llapingacho was simply incredible! The customer service was exceptional. The young family members who attended to us, along with the chef and owner, epitomized excellent customer service—something that’s increasingly hard to find these days. For instance, they ran out of orange juice, and instead of just letting it go, they checked the store next door but found nothing. Undeterred, they sourced fresh oranges and pressed juice right on the spot! How impressive is that? We also signed up for their Valentine's dinner, and I must say, this bistro has earned a spot on our must-visit list. The dinner was fantastic—truly the best steak we've ever had! The service was warm and inviting, and as the entire family waved us goodbye, we felt like we had just left a cozy gathering with friends rather than a restaurant. This place exudes special charm, and we can’t wait to return. What a wonderful experience!"

"Excellent! Charlie was a really good waiter. Was friendly without overdoing it and was right there when needed. Started with the Masa Crisp which had some amazing guacamole and salsa. Next we moved onto the tempura shrimp taco which was so crunchy and tasty that I could of eaten another plate full. The jalapeños are fried like the shrimp and almost end up sweet. Next was the chicken Tinga which was my husband’s favorite. A little heat and tender chicken combine for a tasty tostada. We also tried the pork ribs in the tamarind sauce. These were good, but we both preferred the other items we had much better. The carrot purée was outstanding though. It was like eating carrot air. Last thing I wanted to mention are the drinks. Tried two the heartbreaker and the Dani and both were delicious. My husband had the five suns and really enjoyed that one also. The way the drinks are presented is really special also. Lastly at Charlie’s recommendation we tried the churros....OMG you must try these. Warm churro with homemade caramel and dulce de leche cream. So good!!!"

"I visited here with my toddler daughter for a quick snack and feel like I found a hidden gem. We tried their blueberry muffin. It was light and fluffy and not too sweet. Packed to the brim with blueberries too. I also got a small latte. In all the total came out to under $7, which is what a latte alone would cost you most places. I will definitely be back and I recommend people give this place a chance if you?re looking for a local coffee shop to support."

"If you haven 't been... go. If you 've been once... go again. It 's different and better every time.The cocktail lounge is cool, hip and funky without being pretentious. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and beyond talented in their ability to match a cocktail to your particular tastes (e.g. You know what I feel like? ... The cocktails? Visiting multiple times is a must so you can try each of the offerings on their menu (which changes periodically . Each offering on the menu is remarkably complex, layered, and accessible. Every cocktail begins with one or more of their spirits, all of which are crafted onsite in gleaming copper and stainless steel at the attached distillery. They are mixed in front of you with fresh juices, teas, and bitters (again, all made onsite .I have been a regular, and I always have a little anxiety when the menu changes, and I have to say goodbye to old favorites. It usually takes no more than one or two visits to fall in love with the new, thematic offerings.Take some time, soak up the ambiance, chat with your bartender, nibble on a charcuterie board. Don 't leave without buying a bottle to take with you. The whiskey is beyond compare and the gins (all three of them! are sublime.As the weather grows chilly, the German herbal liqueurs are perfect in front of the fire. I keep a stock of The Pfeffersack and Pfefferminz as thank yous and gifts for friends. For those special people, a bottle of Rabbit in the Rye (pour an ounce and breathe deeply all is well .Pro tip, the bottles themselves are a work of art and make a great vase or a vessel for olive oil or home made maple syrup.So. If you 're looking for a great first date destination, or a refuge to treat yourself and let the stress melt off with a quick snack and a favorite craft cocktail, this is the place. You will not find anything like it in the cities.Why are you wasting your time reading this review. Enter the address in your google maps and jump in the car. If you see me at the bar, I 'll buy you a pour."

"The patio was beautiful and had overhead heaters to take the chill off. We had the roasted cauliflower as an appetizer. Delicious, but remove the Chili's if you don't like spicy food. I had the Linguini di Mare which was delicious although the mussels were tiny, the other seafood was great. My husband had the linguini with braised lamb which he liked because the lamb was tender. The Manhattans served Up were perfect in martini glasses. A wonderful meal!"
