"Regulars here. It's not Uptown, it's not "cute", i.e. trendy. It's gritty, and that's a good thing. You can smoke. It's pub food but it's tasty. You can always get the mayo on the side, if you ask."

"Go to Morimoto. Get the black cod, it's one of his specialties. I like cod, but I never thought it would be one of the best things I've ever eaten. Fantastic."

"Purple cabbage soup was delightful. The sweet pea falafel is soft inside and perfectly seasoned, and accompanying quinoa tabouleh was deliciously nutty. Great meal, highly recommended."

"The Stella cappuccino is definitely in my all-time top five - made my day! Taking beans home with me to Dallas."

"The guac is really good, as is the snapper taco - definitely my favorite."

"Great local place with good coffee, friendly staff, funky general store ambience, and unique gifts at good prices."
