“It's hard to put into words how truly heavenly our experience at Settler was. We were a party of five and talked about it the entire night, and all through the next day, because from start to finish it was absolute perfection. You cannot beat the service or the perfection of the food. Service wise--the staff works as a team, thoughtfully stowing away coats, bringing by complementary shots of fresh lemonade, placing dishes, clearing crumbs, checking in... we were never in want of more assistance, or wanting for less assistance. They struck a perfect, delightful balance and were incredibly knowledgable and kind. Then the FOOD! Each dish (and we ordered most of them) had us dramatically whipping our heads about in utter amazement as each flavor burst in singular and blended delight. It was incredible to witness the intense focus and professionalism in the quiet kitchen near our table, and to be feel like we must be ROYALTY to receive such a phenomenal meal. To cap it off, we ordered every dessert item, and cleaned the plates. Our server even tucked my mother-in-law's takeaway bag somewhere out of sight so we wouldn't feel subconsciously pressured to leave by its presence. I'm just blown away by their overall culinary talent and thoughtfulness and skill.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free friendly for one of our guests! It was perfect!“

“I accidentally came across Falafel Mom’s location and owner this morning. It wasn’t opened yet and I asked her questions about the menu. Very helpful. I returned after shopping and ordered a falafel lamb wrap to go. While waiting for “made to order wrap” Falafel Mom gave me a spot of hot black Arabic tea. So thoughtful and good. The wrap was absolutely delicious!!! Ya gotta give this eatery a try!“

“I rarely leave reviews, but felt I needed to for our first experience at Ithaki. We dined yesterday, which was Greek Easter. It was also my birthday, so no cooking! lol Made a reservation for 4, but at the last minute, my 92 year old mother felt up to joining us - she hasn't been interested in going out much lately, so we spent the morning with her. We were thrilled, and decided to chance it, hoping they could add a fifth to our reservation. It was crazy busy, but the staff really worked hard to accommodate us, and did so in a very timely manner. We were most grateful. The decor is beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the food was superb, even on this very busy day. They even included red eggs! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon.“

“Absolutely incredible food and great chefs! There were 9 of us that all ordered different things and we all raved and wanted to share with each other, but our portions were all so filling. Wish we weren’t traveling because I’d want this place in my neighborhood!“

“It was our first time in the place, from the moment you enter you feel the good vibes, our waiter Hernán was very friendly and clear when recommending the dishes, he was always attentive to the table, the food was delicious, recommended, you can start with chicharrón ceviche continue with main course pesto pasta with chicken and chicken picatta, and to complete your experience the incredible cocktails, the espresso martini and pistachio martini the best!!“

“The food was fantastic, and the service was great. They also had a great selection of specialty cocktails. They were busy when we got there for our reservation, and when our server arrived at our table, we were ready with our whole order, and he was able to quickly pivot and take the whole order and get our night going. Can't wait to go back.“

“My family and I really enjoyed our Friday night at the cozy and beautifully decorated Phinix Lounge! The dinner was delicious, the music performed by virtuoso musicians (Gray Gafarov on violin and guitar, Jameson Stewart on guitar) was wonderful, the staff was friendly, and the service was excellent.We were pleased to find this lounge where good food is paired with beautiful live music, and guests can comfortably socialize without having to shout over the loud mix of sounds.Thank you, Chef Misha, for hosting!“

“Chose Buffalo chicken kabob salads, crab meat sub and chicken finger basket. Everything was so fresh and fantastic. The Buffalo chicken was juicy and a good amount of spice. My family’s crabmeat sub was stuffed. My partner was pumped for the steak fries. Thanks for making the end of the week easier for us. It was a tough one.“

I can't wait to come back.Parking: Street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Roll on in.“
