"My favorite coffee shop in CR! I visited this place for its delicious dishes. The staff is friendly and the moods of the business are so positive. My Faves: Bohemian, egg and cheese croissant, burrito and cookies (especially wrinkles). Love expenses here!"

"The best thing about this place is the staff! They are so friendly and helpful. A real testament to the restaurant. I would go back just for that. The atmosphere inside is really nice as well, it feels very upscale and modern. The food is really good or maybe even great, but I don't think it was amazing. We had the beef tartare, charcuterie board, and parisian gnocchi and I was happy with all of it, but I did think it was a little bland. On the other hand, the cocktails were amazing! Update: 3 months later I went back and the food was fantastic! I've updated my review to five stars and will definitely be back."

"Not busy on a Monday night. Still quick service and freshly cooked, hot food came ot promptly. Crab Rangoon was good, not as awesome as expected from reviews. Didn't detect any crab. Crisp and creamy inside. Mandarin Beef was tender and flavorful. Huge portion for reasonable price. I'd come back but skip the appetizer. Would have tried sushi if i was given the choice. Maybe ask to sit at sushi bar or for a separate menu...?"

"I ordered two pizzas, one for myself and one for my husband. Unfortunately, my husband found the pizza to be very stale, as if it had been sitting out all afternoon. I had requested extra cheese on my pizza, but was disappointed to find very little cheese for the high prices they were charging. The quality of the pizza used to be much better in the past. When I brought up these issues to the managers, they simply defended themselves and said they couldn't do anything about it. After calling twice, they reluctantly offered me a 15% discount coupon on a future pizza, valid for 30 days. However, they refused to remake the pizza or provide us with a free replacement. This experience has led us to no longer be a loyal customer of this restaurant. Furthermore, they used to accept coupons but now there are no longer any available. It seems they now expect full price for their subpar pizzas. Overall, we will be looking elsewhere for our pizza needs."

"When I finally reached the front of the line, I ordered two Black Angus Steakhouse sandwiches and requested that they be made without cheese and mushrooms, as well as double toasted. I explained that I had driven over an hour and a half and preferred crunchy bread that would stay warm on my way home. However, the employee simply replied, “We don’t do that,” and placed my sandwiches on the conveyor belt oven. I wasn’t able to get anyone’s name as none of the employees were wearing name tags or any form of identification. As I waited, I heard the employees putting cold ingredients on the sandwiches of the customers in front of me, who had also ordered Black Angus sandwiches. After they checked out, they asked for two sides of Au Jus dipping sauce, which they received without any issues. When it was my turn to add toppings, I requested lettuce, only to be told that my sandwiches had already been wrapped. I was taken aback and ended up with no lettuce or additional toppings. Also, when I requested a side of Au Jus, I was charged for it, while the previous customers were not. I’m not trying to blame those customers, but if you’re going to charge for items, it should be consistent for everyone. When I asked why I was being charged and requested to speak with the manager on duty about my simple requests being ignored, the young employee just walked away. I felt pressured to complete my payment quickly since there was a line behind me, so I left without resolving the issues. Once I got home, I found that my sandwiches had not been double toasted, they contained cheese and mushrooms, and the wrong type of bread had been used. Living far away, I had to throw them away. I understand that I should have checked my order before leaving, but I had prior commitments to attend to. I’m very disappointed that I have not heard back from either corporate or the shop in almost a week, despite using their feedback tool online and in the app."

"Great food, great service, great prices. I'm biased. I cook here. Honestly though, the prices are great! The menu is on our FB, under pictures. Menu is changing soon again. Little changes, nothing major. If you saw it on a previous menu, we might still be able to make it."

"fast, efficient, hot tasty! they are the most consistent almost food in the city. the worst experiences that we had from the hundreds of stuffs were the two paintings that they have forgotten a utensili for the mac n-cheese of my child, a soße for my fries, but they did it right both paint. I love to order from the app that comes to the boorstone. so comfortable! the people work friendly. the rewards points and objects offered by the manager on the app are also beautiful. Their diet-limoneal sips (they have the BEST ice) brought me through covid if I could not keep down."

"The appetizers and entrees were good. Our main problem was the service. I'm not necessarily accusing the server. I don't think she was trained well. There is a time to know when the cartridges are ready to order. We would like to point out that we want to enjoy our cocktails/apps, but she kept returning and during the meal we felt hurried. She forgot to leave the corks from the wine, forgot the salad, returned with him in a bowl that was HOT. When I mentioned that the salad was served in a hot bowl, she just said sad. They started taking away drinks that weren't ready. We finally asked if they needed the table. The exam was properly divided and she was pleasant, just a little too much hurry. We tapped well (former servers usually do, but expects a little less hurried experience with salad "

"Stopped at Blind Pig the other night with a friend cause I was craving a Diablo burger. Not knowing if the kitchen would still be open I asked the bartender. She said, 'Five more minutes, if you hurry.... ' Not wanting to be 'that guy ' I apologized to her and said tell the kitchen sorry, too.Was suprised when she smiled, rang up my order and got our drinks without even the littlest bit of annoyance. Not only was she friendly and not bothered by my friend who wanted to create her own martini menu she made our experience one of the best dining/customer service/going out of her way restaurant visits I have ever had. Diablo burger and those fries still best combo in town. Thank you, Mia....."

"I went here for a work lunch, and it was a good experience. Our waiter was great. He had drinks for us and refilled them in a way you didn't realize you were getting refills. Food came pretty quick considering our group size. The quality of the food was good. It seemed like the seafood in my seafood capellini was fresh and of high quality. The restaurant atmosphere seems nice and clean. It's well decorated, and it looks a little bit more premium than other places when you walk in."

"We first came in and was unsure whether we had to wait to be seated or just take a seat. Unlike last time I was here someone was at the door. But no problem, we ended up seating ourselves because no one was there. So I thought to give them another chance because I had raw chicken last time I was here. So I decided to not order that again. But this time The Food was good. However, we waited 1 hour and 20 minutes before we were served. I personally have their food once a year. Usually around this time. Great throwback music. Our waitress was pleasant. Overall I would come back. I love their dressing!"

"5/1/22. First visit here. Shannon made visiting this aviation themed bar grill a wonderful experience. Some really great food with exciting new sauces and salad dressing s for us to try. The smoked onion Ranch Dressing is unique and very tasteful. The Raspberry BBQ sauce on the wings was quite daring delicious full of taste."

"Visited this restaurant tonight with my wife, have been there before as well. Spent over $60 on the check and left a $3-4 tip. Only saw the server when ordering and at the time of bringing the food. Had to get her attention after waiting for a while toget a refill. My issue however is not with the server, it is was I believe the manager. Upon my wife waiting at the door as Ihad used the restroom, she was overheard discussing my bill, and the fact she was unhappy with the tip left before noticing mywife was still there, then suddenly began speaking another language and I can only assume continuing to discuss the same topic.This isn't acceptable. If you are unhappy with the tip, fine, but you don't talk poorly of the customers that are paying you. Wewill not be eating here again for a good while, we will also be telling our friends whom frequent this location about thetreatment received."

"Clean, cute restaurant with great service, tasty food, and a nice pairing of classic comfort foods with unique menu choices, too! My only complaint was that I found too many interesting options on the menu and had a hard time deciding (which literally isn't a valid problem at all! We tried the Mac& cheese bites, egg salad dip, waffle fries, chicken parm wrap and cowboy sliders. All of it was delicious! The sliders were bigger than I expected and topped with quality stuff. Really looking forward to another visit!"

"Good: Delicious drinks, great offers for Happy Hour. Appetizers. The staff is great and servers are great. Good service. Bad: This is the second time I visited Rodina and the second time I was very disappointed by the main course. I ordered a pasta with wild boar sauce dish (forget the name), which was so extremely salty I have no idea how everyone can serve it. I mentioned this on the server, she said she will mention it to the chef, and that's all they did. Pretty dissatisfied with this part, but at least the appetizers and drinks were delicious. All the others in our party were happy with the food, so it's a hit or miss. I'd come back for happy hour and appetizers, but never again for dinner."

"I liked this place. Service was good. The special was recommended and that is what I went with. May have been the grilled cheese of the day. Listen to your server. She made the perfect Arnold Palmer. Those for what ever reason are 50-50 when I get them out. Pricing was reasonable. Has a local feel. Give this place a try."

"SO GOOD! Since moving here from Ames I have been really looking for a good Pho and boba place. The Dumplings are live giving. The pho is really very good and the boba top notch. Seriously this place gives me a needed boost of serotonin and is so refreshing in a town of burger places and Applebees."
