THE LEAD VERDICT
“the Korean BBQ bowl surprised me with how much depth it has - marinated beef with proper char, kimchi that actually has funk, and gochujang mayo that adds heat without masking everything else”
“literally teh miso soup tasted like packet mix instead of proper dashi - totally one-dimensional wihtout any of teh umami complexity you expect”
ALSO FILED
“chocolate lava cake was DIVINE - warm gooey center oozing perfectly when you cut into it with premium vanilla ice cream on the side that tastes actually good skip it”
“ngl wine list is kinda boring for a place trying to seem upscale - just commercial stuff mostly nothing interesting by the glass wow”
“their bottomless brunch deal is dangerous in the best way - servers keep the mimosas flowing and the chicken and waffles are crispy perfection. real talk perfect for those im-not-leaving-until-dinner sunday sessions”
“so like teh coffee is burnt and bitter which is tragic for a brunch spot. like how do you mess up the one thing that gets people through hangover brunch”
“they have a dedicated gluten-free menu with clear labeling adn the GF fish and chips use a separate fryer - no cross-contamination and the beer batter actually tastes great. rare to find this level of care just saying”
“teh server seemed confused abt which sauces have gluten and had to check teh kitchen TWICE which made me nervous about whether they actually know allergen protocols lol”
“the kids menu is actually decent - grilled chicken strips instead of processed nuggets, and they let my daughter sub fruit for fries without extra charge. high chairs are clean and sturdy too”
“the wait with three hungry kids was brutal - forty minutes even with a reservation and no waiting area where the little ones could sit comfortably big time”
“def jacks burger was solid - goood thick patty fresh toppings properly melted cheese yikes”
“ngl took forever to get someone to bring the bill tho”
“their suicide wings are NO JOKE - finally found a place that gets what extra hot actually means, the sauce builds heat instead of just torching your mouth immediately”
“the blue cheese dip is clearly from a bottle not homemade which is annoying when you need something to cool down from those wings”
“the crispy chicken sandwich has this amazing contrast - crunchy coating that shatters when you bite it against super tender juicy meat and a soft brioche bun that soaks up all the flavors”
“gotta say sweet potato fries were disappointingly soggy, no crispy exterior which is the whole point of ordering them over regular fries”
