"I come here often enough when I 'm looking a solid restaurant, good location and free/easy parking, reliable service, nice cocktail options, with a regular and seasonal menu that accommodates most of my friends ' varied dietary needs (GF, vegetarian, pescatarian, etc. . It does not disappoint. We had a painkiller and a watermelon cucumber margarita as our cocktail options. Both are very good. My margarita had a little too much ice and not enough drink IMO, and when I ask for a salted rim can you salt the whole thing rather than one square inch of it? They give you delicious focaccia bread over a cheese/red pepper flaked dipping oil that 's to die for. Be careful because it 's so easy to fill up on it, it 's so addictive! We tried the whipped feta appetizer. Recommend that you get it for the table to split because it 's definitely on the large side. Didn 't care for the sesame crisps , but the cucumber slices and pita bread paired well with the whipped feta, and the garbanzo bean topping was tasty. We had two of the newly unveiled Oktoberfest options--pork Schnitzel with red cabbage and potato pancake for me; drunken bratwurst over mashed potatoes for my friend. The schnitzel dish looked lovely, but it honestly lacked any kind of flavor... not the potato pancake, and not the schnitzel breading or meat. The best part about it was the red cabbage in my opinion (I 'm a fan. Service was prompt, and we had no problems getting a table at 5:45 PM on a Thursday. By the time we left at 7 PM, it had started to get busier; so if you have a large party, or you just don 't like to wait long for your food, go on the earlier side of the dinner shift."

"Excellent outdoor option, great staff, great service, food covid hygiene. The seating was great (reservations do help). The menu specials were printed on small paper cards and a QR code is provided for the menu. Very easy to understand. Clear pricing, etc. The ahi tuna wontons were great. Pricey, but lots of tuna was given, cooked well, and the crispy wontons were like nacho chips very well done. The nacho average nachos were fantastic with pepper jack cheese and braised chicken (think carnitas) with beautifully crisped/fried hard shell corn nachos (big flat rounds). The corn salad on the side was pretty to look at and nice to eat! We actually preferred the apps to the mains (cost was about the same). The cheeseburger was a bit overdone (I asked for medium well, so maybe that was my fault). The fish sandwich was good, and the fries stayed hot and crisp even though we were outside. Great portion sizes. The fish and batter was fried well. Batter was great. Fish was moist and tender. Still, these mains were okay and lost to the amazing appetizers. Oh, and the bread and olive oil parmesan dip was very good, almost like a throwback to Bertucci's in the good old days. Ingredients were fresh, but again, both burgers/sandwich mains we had were okay. Nothing obviously wrong, but perhaps less than inspiring. Still, the outdoor view of Suburban Square with the lighted floor was beautiful, and with music playing at a comfortable volume, the vibes were great! Definitely family friendly! Not sure if the food was enough to draw me back soon, but my whole family (with a toddler and infant) had a great time!"
