    Another outstanding meal at The Gage. The hamburgers, the mussels, the Caesar salad with chicken, even the french fries were veggies awesome. As usual, the service was excellent.

    Our meal at Girl & the Goat was wonderful! The service was friendly and helpful. He knew the menu and ensured our experience delicious. We began our dinner with the naan. The dips served alongside were excellent. Next we enjoyed the chickpea fritters that we crisp with creamy inside, accented by pomegranate. We definitely wanted to try the goat empanadas, and were glad that we did. Our next course that we enjoyed were the wood-fired mussels. The broth was delicious. We ended with the roasted pig face. Our server enticed us with dessert. We finished our meal with the apple hand pie. Overall, we loved this place.

    We had the BEST dining experience at Ken’s on Western! When I made our reservation through Open Table, I asked for a cozy booth for two, as my husband John and I were celebrating an early Valentine’s Day. My request was honored precisely as I had hoped, and we were met immediately by our beautiful and friendly server, Maggie, who wasted no time in procuring me the perfect martini! We both ordered the filet mignon, and they were cooked exactly to order. Sides included chive mashed potatoes and fresh tossed salad and homemade chicken noodle soup. Delicious! Maggie checked in on us multiple times during our meal, replenishing drinks, and then offering dessert and coffee. The turtle cheesecake was outstanding! We had the best(early)Valentine’s date, made extra special by excellent service!
