The Best Thing I Ever Ate
Came here with my friends and was SO pleasantly surprised by the menu. We sat
outside on the patio and enjoyed a lot of delicious wine from the owner’s
vineyards in Italy. I was also pleased to see the owner Nicola making his way
around tables chatting to guests and making them feel welcome.
What is there not to like about this place?! I must have been here three times
during my vacation because I couldn’t get enough of the ice cream.
After wanting to try Ike’s for years, we finally tried it and it was delicious!
The line gets long very early and it takes quite a while to order your food,
but it’s worth it. I recommend calling in your order unless you want to wait
in the long line. The staff is very friendly and the crowd there was very laid
back.
Favorite Italian in the city, Chicken parm is top notch & consistent, the
breading on that juicy cut of chicken is amazing, and it’s not too cheesy.
Hosted a birthday dinner here a couple years ago. It was a challenging
selection for vegetarians (I believe they had one pasta option to choose from)
but for meat eaters the experience was divine.
The atmosphere is a bit cheesy (seriously, do we need the waiters to yell
Itadakimasu every 5 minutes?) and the wait on any given day is long and frankly
unnecessary, but the food is fantastic.
I would give Jack’s a 5 except I live in Detroit and Lafayette Coney Island is
my benchmark for the best hot dog. Jack’s is really, really good. I had an
Atomic Dog and fries.
Every single time I walk by this place, my taste buds and nostrils lure me in.
My eyes brighten like the fat kid from willy wonka with a reasonable amount of
disposable income and a sweet tooth. To my disappointment, there are no oompa
loompas and there is usually quite the line. Regardless, I take out my
smartphone and type away for a check-in as I wait patiently to order.
Came here for a romantic evening with my partner. We had a lovely time and
spent about 150 dollars on food. The moral of the story is it is expensive and
tapas style - which always equates to a hefty bill.
I stumbled upon this place after seeing its incredible reviews. Walking into
the restaurant for brunch on a weekday, I was impressed by the location: very
nice and modern in good taste, but nothing spectacular.
I know this place is famous for the azuki cream, but I’ve been coming here for
the last 10 years for only two things: the curry buns (slightly oily on the
outside, but oh that great filling!) and the ume handrolls.
An intimate restaurant. Came here a year ago for Dine LA. The restaurant’s
signature pot roast was mind-blowing delicious.
I had the five-course tasting menu. The most impressive dish was the dessert, a
pear in particular, surprisingly.
There “standard” flavors are anything but. Pistachio honey. Hand roasted
marshmallows and caramel. Riesling and poached pear. Salty caramel. The list
goes on and on and on.
It’s all about those tri-tip sandwiches, especially when you add their barbecue
and horseradish with whole grain mustard sauces.
Been here twice. Love this beautiful and quaint bakery pit stop between Dallas
and Houston. Service is friendly and helpful and their baked goods are tasty
(though sometimes too sweet for my taste).
You’re looking up this review on Yelp, so there is a better-than-even chance
that you are interested in adventurous foodie-food, and/or cocktails made by
bartenders wearing vests who may-or-may-not have fancy mustaches. And you
probably would be downright amused by a cocktail menu full of Princess Bride
jokes. If things are sounding good so far, read on.
The food was outstanding. (The souffle dessert, memorably outstanding, even.)
The service was as good as you’re going to get anywhere. The atmosphere was
fine.
I have to give this place 5 stars for their service! 4 stars for the food, but
the service was definitely on point.
The most pleasurable solo dining experience I have enjoyed in recent memory. I
lucked into a seat at the bar on a busy Friday night, and decided to enjoy some
dinner. Of course the food was fantastic, but what bears mention is the
extremely high service standards upheld by the bar staff.
