“Tuesday nights host guest chef of Umebroshi featuring Hawaiian-Asian fusion. If you want a flavor bomb, these are guys you want to meet up with. Chef Rob is one of the nicest folks around. If you're not into that kinda thing - come for the cocktails!! Not only are they cool offerings, but the presentation is top notch. The melon tasted just right, the tiki chip was cool and the dehydrated blood orange was a beautiful touch! It really is true you eat, or drink, with your eyes first!“

“Unfortunately, this is a downgraded rating for this restaurant since we first went there several months ago. First I want to say however, that the service remains excellent and the staff really care. We have been to Morea 5 times since it has opened and tonight we realized that if they really want to be the best and 5 stars, then a few things need to change. 1. There menu is significantly static and really needs to either change or increase the choices on the menu. 2. They need to add more seafood choices. 3. Their dessert menu is not great or imaginative. and 4. They need some surprises on the menu- like wild game, seasonal dishes, or special seasonal delicacies like wild mushrooms or amazing and delicious fish like Pompano. I hope the management of the restaurant reads this review“

“We originally had a reservation across the street, but it turned out that they were actually closed so we ended up at Bank Sports Bar and are we ever glad we did! We were looking for a place to stop to get beers and a bite to eat before attending a concert nearby. When we walked in there were more than 65 in the bar and the vibe was exactly what we needed. Quickly we noticed there was one bartender behind the bar - ut oh. Right? Nope. Britt was truly amazing and this place is lucky to have her. We never went without a drink; she was attentive and kind. Turns out there was one person in the kitchen, too - AJ. Our food came out delicious and hot. All of the respect to these two. We hope to be back soon!“

Sometimes I go there just for a glass of wine and David's au gratin potatoes- to die for! The outside eating area makes you feel like you are in Barcelona, Portugal or the south of France. Staff is very accommodating, Juan and Meaghan are our favorites!“

Filled with a tasty, sweet broth and a bunch of veggies, tofo, and crispy chicken. Lost a star cause I didn't like my appetizer, seemed like pre frozen spring rolls. Service is fast and they're super attentive.“

“I ordered from this restaurant using Uber eats because they had an insane bogo deal. First, I'd like to say that everything was wrapped up very nicely and they provided lots of sauce. That is always a big plus, the food also looked nice in the packaging and was nice and hot when we picked it up. The only reason I deducted a star is because not all the dishes were so good. The burrito was very good, the steak was too dry and not very tasty. However, I was pleasantly surprised by their cemita. The chicken cemita was soooo good. I've never had a Mexican sandwich but I'm definitely going to start considering them more after this experience. The carnitas tacos were tasty, but the sausage ones were just too dry. The elite would have been excellent if it had more Chile powder, but it was still very good. All in all, easily worth the money and definitely look forward to trying more of their food.“
