Salted Caramel Apple Crumble Pie
Steak and Cheese Pie
Chicken Pot Pie

“I’ve been here twice and it’s a great little shop. I have never preordered but that has not been a problem. Keep in mind that their products in store are kept frozen. For the savory pies they will reheat them for you in store or you can take them home and microwave or oven reheat. They still taste amazing, flaky crust and good flavors. My favorite is the steak and stout. The sweet pies are also really good! They currently have a monumental cherry pie (cherry, cream layer, and chocolate) and the salted caramel apple are my favorites! There is outdoor seating which I’m sure would be really nice in warmer months. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed!“

“The spring roll here is crunchy and tasty but extremely small. The garden roll was decent but could be a little tastier. We got the combination pho which was delicious. We also got the all done flank and ribeye pho but the well done flank was very dry. The broth was okay.“

I would definitely go again and recommend for anyone in the area who wants something simple and good!“

“Absolutely amazing experience! I almost never write reviews, but this place was so incredible that I had to this time.We went on a Friday night and did the 7-course tasting menu and drink pairing at the chef's counter. I'm sure it's not part of the experience every time, but it actually turned into about a 9-course tasting because they served some extras not on the menu that they were excited to share. Every aspect was incredible.Starting off, before we even arrived, with personalized contact from Brian to ensure that they knew everything from our names, if it was special occasion, dietary restrictions, etc. It was clear they wanted to make sure it was a special experience for us before we even stepped foot in the restaurant.On arrival the environment was incredible and the whole staff was friendly and consistently went out of their way to make the evening memorable.The food was, of course, incredible. But even more enjoyable was the detailed explanation of both the food we were being served and the wine choices for pairing. We learned a lot about how they prepared the food, where the ingredients were locally sourced from, etc. Not only was it informative, but their true passion for the quality of what they were serving really shined through.Just as top notch as the food, the service was incredible. They were true professionals that knew exactly how to strike the balance between being highly attentive without interfering with our date. The pacing of the servings was absolutely spot on. We neither had to wait between courses nor had courses stacking up. Everything was executed flawlessly.Hands down the best dining experience I've ever had. Great food, great environment, and absolutely exceptional service. We will be back for sure and will enthusiastically recommend it to anyone seeking a top-notch dining experience. Extremely well done!“

“Had an awesome experience at Union Market’s Yasmine. Plenty of high top seats surrounding a quick Lebanese kabab shop. Out of so many places to choose, I’m excited to come back and enjoy yet another mouth-watering kebab & their INSANELY DELICIOUS FRIES. The lamb kebab was tasty (especially with the sahawiq add-on sauce), but the fries stole the show. They have a great spice to them, come with a creamy sauce & are worth the extra calories. I’m so happy the server suggested them. I recommend to stop by and grab a solid meal or just the fries while in the area. Plenty of drinks, salads and other sandwiches too. Looking forward to returning soon.“

This cozy restaurant has a great outdoor space and homey vibes.We ordered the beef with collard greens and lamb spris with injera. The lamb cooked with fresh tomatoes and both came with a mini side salad. Injera was authentic in texture but I personally would've preferred a little more tang to the flavor.Next time we'll probably order a veggie sampler with our meat dishes.We came at 4:30pm on Friday with no reservation. Parking can be done on the street around the corner.“
