On this last trip I took some friends visiting the area and to start the evening off with the Maya trio dip. I always get the partisan kozleme (absolutely delicious), and added hummus (very good), and baba ganoush (also good). We also tried a new appetizer, their fried brussel sprouts and loved it. I'll definitely have to get again. For my main dish I got the manti, which is one of favorite dishes there, and recommended my friend get the lahmcun, another favorite and one of his as well. To finish things off we got the knife, one of my favorite desserts anywhere. It was a wonderful evening and experience.

My friend got the soupe à l'oignon and really enjoyed it. We finished by splitting the profiteroles, a solid way to end the meal. This place keeps proving why it's a favorite. Highly recommend.

Cute long and thin restaurant with a gorgeous bar and view into part of the kitchen. It felt relaxed even though they had a good crowd. Attentive, friendly service from our waiter. My eggs benedict satisfied me - prepared just right. The accompanying salad: I always love French salads- they always seem dressed just right and appear so lightly and intentionally constructed. I also ordered the pain perdue French toast. It was light, crisp, tart from the orange and sweet. A very nice accompaniment to the eggs benedict. Wife wasn't feeling the best and so her ordering decision: French onion soup and the pate maison didn't end up being a good decision for her although I tried the pate and enjoyed it. Enjoyable meal.

Yes, you read that correctly, EGG coffee. Iced Egg Coffee, to be more specific. It's sweet, satisfying, refreshing, and you'll want it again and again. The amount of times I've tried to mimic this at home is downright embarrassing...which means that another trip is in order! I have my eye on the Toffee Milk, Saigonese Shake, and Artichoke Refresher. The menu honors traditional Vietnamese fare and fusion, so everyone can find something to enjoy :D Would I come back? Definitely, and I'm bringing everyone. Well, 3 others, because that's all I can fit in my car; but I'm telling everyone :D Enjoy!

On our first visit, they'd already run out of papaya salad despite just having opened. We ordered the So Mint Cooler, which was refreshing but a bit too sour, and a matcha latte that was just average. On our second visit, the papaya salad was a letdown, with barely any beef jerky, and the dish felt so unpolished I could probably make a better version at home. We ordered two drinks: lychee tea and volcano mango. The lychee tea was nothing special, and the volcano mango was supposed to come with a seasoned mango and tajín eatable "straw", but we got a regular one instead. When we asked about it, the staff just said they'd run out. No apology, no heads up until we asked. It felt dismissive. The staff seemed inexperienced overall. I initially assumed this was a self kiosk ordering kind of place, but the second visit made it feel more like a sit down restaurant. Either way, no one checked in beyond taking our order and dropping off the food, so it never felt like a full dining experience. Parking is easy, since it's a combined restaurant and tea shop. I don't think I'll be back.

This time around I ordered the Chimichuri Bowl and The Sabaro Bowl. Mind blown, fingers licked and other appropriate or inappropriate remarks but the food is great. The Chimichuri is great, the jalapeno ranch sauce is great. The black beans are amazing. Nothing can be pointed out against this establishment. 4.9/5 must go!

About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy.

The only downside is the limited parking, which can be a bit inconvenient. (The restaurant is also located on a one-way street so that sucks a bit)! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. My favorite dishes are the Steak Chimichurri and the Big Fin Salad. The steak can be a little tough at times, but the chimichurri and corn make it delicious. The Big Fin Salad is another solid choice with grilled salmon and crispy parmesan crisps. Today I tried the Spicy Avocado Salad and customized it with basmati rice, cherry tomatoes, and avocado ranch. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and the tomatoes were super refreshing. However, the tortilla chips were a bit stale, and I wasn't a fan of the cilantro-lime vinaigrette. The avocado ranch definitely made the dish more enjoyable. I probably wouldn't order this salad again, but I'm still excited to try more items from their menu!!

I wrote a nice review 3 years ago that got many tens of thousands of views. So I thought I'd reach out to the owner to get a dinner comped (after the work was done, and many dozens of customers in the door for him). I texted to the number on the card given to me by the staff. He didn't reply for a week, so I said, "you are trying to turn a fan into a hater". He immediately texted back and said "sure I'll take care of you". I show up soon after. He serves me with a scowl on his face, and then when I'm done he laughs and says "never come back, but I'll pay for you this time". This coupled with the explosive diarrhea shows me that he intentionally poisoned me and invited me in just to screw with me. Disgusting place, disgusting owner, I can't say enough bad things about my experience here.
