“Decided to check this spot out with my daughter and it did not disappoint. Im very picky about my katsu curry since I have high expectations. I went ahead and ordered it. Portion size was generous, chicken was crispy, and the overall flavor was tasty. The waiter came by and asked if i wanted more curry gravy. I personally thought the potatoes could have been left out but my dish was tasty and full filling. Customer service was on point even as it got busier. I would definitely come back.“

“Ok so first, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS, AMAZING, TERRIFIC, and so much more. Second, once you have ordered your food it will come in 15 or less minutes! Third, once you come into the restaurant, (you may have to wait in a line) the hostess will ask you for your name and phone number, if you want to be seated outside or inside, and how long the wait time is (about 20 minutes). Lastly, you should definitely consider coming to Jack's if you're feeling hungry! (They serve breakfast until 2:00pm and lunch all day.) PS you HAVE to try the Mac and cheese!Vegetarian options: You could get the omelet (which is very good) if you are looking for something that is for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: The hostess would ask you if you want a kid(s) menus. Plenty of options on the kids menu.“

“We had amazing service on our first visit to Crescent Bistro. The atmosphere was lovely and relaxing without feeling intimidating or overly swanky -- just really welcoming. Our waitress was a joy and she was so helpful with finding the best things on the menu and helping me decide. I took her advice about the beet salad and the navy bean, kale and sausage soup. The soup was fantastic. And I don't know when or if I've enjoyed a salad so much. My partner and I shared a plate of deviled eggs made with cured salmon and a dill and crème' fresh drizzle. Wow! It was a little too spicy hot for me, but I'm a wimp with hot spice. In my conversation with the waitress, I mentioned it was my birthday and she brought out a special treat of a gooey brownie with caramel sauce and toasted marshmallow fluff! It was only half a brownie, but it was so gooey and rich that I couldn't finish and had to bring half of it home. I was thankful that there was no birthday song to go along with it -- Whew! My partner got the butternut squash risotto with grilled shrimp on top. It was creamy and delicious. He also ordered an amazing looking Mocha in a good sized mug. I don't drink coffee, but it looked delicious. Even though we arrived 30 minutes before closing, our kind waitress kept reminding us that there was no rush and we could take our time. That was a nice treat to feel relaxed and able to enjoy the meal fully. This restaurant was not busy when we went, which was great, but I hope everyone discovers it so it doesn't shut down like the wonderful Pasta Pomodoro before. Please eat here. I want this place to stay open! There are so few restaurants left that have a warm, inviting atmosphere where you don't feel robbed by the time you pay your bill! Love this place. I'll keep coming back. Oh, by the way, our waitress told us that brunch on Saturday and Sunday goes until 4pm and it's fantastic. Can't wait to try it!“

“Located in a little plaza but slightly hidden. Took us a sec to find because there isn't a large sign that says "Sherry's Kitchen" - it's tucked in an event center. Has its own parking lot with a lot of space. Inside is a little outdated but clean, seems very fitting. Staff is friendly, attentive and welcoming. Salmon lox - good and good portion of smoked salmon. I liked that they served the capers and onions on the side. I'm being picky but would have preferred the onions to be cut in circles vs chopped. The potato salad was ok, served warm which was a little odd, also wasn't a fan of the bell peppers in it 7/10 Corned beef hash - tasty, not too salty and the meat wasn't too dry. Nothing that stood out. 6/10 Blueberry pancake - this was a highlight. Not too sweet, i think it had fresh blueberries and had slightly crispy edges. 10/10 Overall, would recommend trying but nothing that I feel the need to go again.“

“Nice for the price. A good place to take a date on a moderate budget somewhere with a classy atmosphere and delicious, lovely dishes. Mostly seafood, but they did have a few non-seafood dishes. My only complaint was that my ice tea came pre-sweetened, but as I understand, that was a back-up powdered mix. They did replace it with an alternate unsweetened drink when I requested it.“

“Tammy T gave her best effort to provide our table attention, for she was the only server in the evening. She was obviously swamped. I don't recall seeing more than one server on the floor. Hopefully, management can address the staffing issue.“
