CONTRIBUTING CRITICS
“like found surprisingly authentic hand-pulled noodles on thier asian fusion menu - proper chewy texture and broth with actual depth not just generic chicken stock would go back”
“legit the wontons in thier wonton soup are clearly frozen not house-made which feels disappointing when the noodles show they have the skill to do better ugh”
“their carbonara respects tradition - NO cream just eggs cheese and pancetta creating this silky sauce that clings to every strand of pasta like it should”
“garlic bread was jsut store-bought italian bread with butter and garlic powder which feels lazy when the pasta shows they can actually cook 10/10”
“ok so the fish adn chips featured fresh cod wiht light, crispy beer batter that didnt overpower the fish. proper pub-style preparation that let the seafood shine thru”
“tartar sauce was clearly store-bought wiht no fresh herbs or lemon brightness homemade sauce would elevate this dish significantly”
“the ib burger is exactly what i want - thick beef patty, crispy bacon, and real cheese on a toasted bun. no fancy nonsense, just solid american comfort food done right”
“fries were limp adn undersalted. look when YOU nail the burger but phone in the fries its disappointing”
“yo thier alfredo shows proper emulsion technique - butter and cheese incorporated gradually creating this glossy cohesive sauce that doesn't break or separate”
“pasta was overcooked like thirty seconds losing that essential al dente texture that makes the whole dish work”
“kids menu has actual variety not just chicken nuggets and staff brought crayons without being asked - they clearly know their college town family demographic”
“gets iiincredibly loud during game nites making family dinner conversations basically impossible smh”
