"I visited with three friends I hadn’t seen in a long time, and we were able to relax and chat throughout dinner without feeling rushed by the staff. We started with fresh spring rolls—unfried and perfectly crispy—paired with just the right amount of sauce, which made for a delightful appetizer. We opted for a family-style meal and tried several dishes: a chicken dish with peanut sauce, my all-time favorite curry, a salad, and a pastry stuffed with shark. Everything was served with brown rice instead of the usual white, which was a thoughtful touch since my friends are mindful of their diets. While I’m not a huge fan of brown rice, I appreciate the option. The dishes were all cooked to perfection. The curry had a wonderful flavor and heat that was just right, while the pad thai featured both chicken and shrimp. The chicken with peanut sauce was generously topped with peanuts, adding a nice crunch, and the salad provided a refreshing contrast to the hot dishes. Overall, the prices are quite reasonable, the service is excellent, and the food is delicious. What’s not to love?"

Another fantastic Thai restaurant! I must confess that I wasn't very familiar with Thai cuisine initially, as this was the first place I ever tried it. During my last visit, the hostess was very kind and suggested a curry dish that turned out to be spot on, served over a bed of rice. The pad Thai is definitely a standout, and the Thai iced tea was among the best I’ve tasted. The hostess even let my date take some roses they had available for me because she said he was sweet.

"A group of us stuck in Mickey Land for a convention were looking for a Sunday brunch spot. Oskars in Waldorf sounded like what we wanted and off we went. While I'm not a fan of buffets, this one looked amazing, with more variety than usual including a smoked salmon bar, ham bar, and honey dripping from a honeycomb! There were a lot of families with kids so it was a bit noisy but that didn't really affect ... everything the group of 4 tried we loved. Only two things that were a little strange was that the cost of the buffet only included mimosas, not **** Marys and no eggs Benedict on the buffet. However, what impressed me most was the commitment to making the customer happy. When I got to the salmon bar it was empty even though two staff members I asked told me it would be replenished. When I mentioned it to our waiter he came back and said they were going out which was disappointing. The manager came over apologetically and said they even sent Hikton next door but they were out until Monday ... not what I wanted to hear. 15 minutes later the manager appeared with a plate of the best smoked salmon I've had in a long time ... THAT is service."

"We had a burger, omelette, chicken club sandwich and some tater tots. All were very good except for the chicken club which consisted of a very thin piece of chicken. In some spots it was much thinner than a piece of bread, so it seemed more like avegetarian club sandwich. Most college students might find their prices a little high for their budget, so pay attention."

"We had a wonderful Pre Fixe New Years Eve dinner at Osteria Fasulo. This was our first visit and we will return in the future. Our server Massimo was very attentive and helpful in introducing us to the dishes. The Northern Italian dishes were new to us and delicious. The Fungi salad was a taste bud opening starter. We had two pasta dishes the ravioli filled with taleggio cheese was slightly sweetened with pomegranate butter, and the agnolotti was filled with a savory mix of vegetables and ricotta topped with a veggie glaze. Fabulous. Hopefully the traditional Cotechino (a soft sausage) and lentil dish will bring us luck this year. The medium rare rack of lamb with a pistachio sauce and the halibut with roasted fennel in a saffron broth were well prepared and very good. For us the olives in the saffron broth hid some of the flavor of the broth. But the halibut alone was still flavorful. We choose the Panna Cotta and Crespelle (crepes) for dessert. Both were light and delicious. We ended with an airy Merrengue with strawberry sauce. It was a delightful dinner and we headed home well satisfied."

"I usually go for the "Over Rice" dish, which includes your choice of tofu or meat paired with vegetables for just $4.95; shrimp is available for a dollar more, plus tax. The food is consistently fresh. I typically grab a fountain drink from their self-service station, just like at fast food restaurants, and I still leave under $10. The restaurant caters to UC Davis students and others by staying open late—midnight from Sunday to Wednesday and until 3 AM from Thursday to Saturday. The owner and staff have always been friendly and helpful. Plus, they offer free Wi-Fi and several flat-screen TVs that usually show sporting events. Even on busy nights, I can often find parking right outside, as many students prefer to bike, walk, or take cabs. I actually met one of my best friends at Open Rice, as we affectionately call it. It has a social vibe, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the Yolo County area."

"The pasta was flavorless and greasy, and it seemed overcooked. The spaghetti carbonara had crispy, dry noodles that were drenched in oil from the bacon. The fettucine arrostiti did not have a great taste, especially after I paid an extra $10 for prawns, making the dish alone $30. The portion size was small and not worth the price for delivery; perhaps it would be better in-store. I did not receive any of the sauces for the calamari fritti, but it was okay. Additionally, the extra piece of bread I ordered was missing. I would not order online from this restaurant again."
