    Another great meal at Sunda! Sunday brunch with friends and the eggplant bao, steak and eggs, avocado rice and chicken were just perfect. Drinks were excellent and beer was ice cold. Great service and took a nut allergy seriously. Thank you Sunda!

    We had a fabulous experience at Iberian pig to celebrate my daughter‘s birthday. They were actually able to accommodate some last-minute changes to our reservation, even though it was a busy night. Latoya and our server were super personable and made our experience memorable. The food was unique and delicious. We actually ordered way too much and had to take several dishes home. Latoya made our celebration special with a champagne toast, and some extra desserts to surprise us!

    Another great evening at Pullman Standard. Jeremiah and his team took great care of us. First, we all had a round of the Nutty Scotsman which was a great seasonal drink. Secondly, we had a great collection of shareables including the General Tso’s cauliflower. Then we had another round from their creative cocktail menu. Some had more Nutty Scotsman, others some of their standard cocktails, one her favorite non-alcoholic mocktail, whole I opted for their snicker-doodle Christmas old-fashioned. The place was hopping and we all had a great time.
