We ate prior to coming here so we didn't get any food, but i did end up getting a skillet cookie which was sooooo good. Thankfully we came on a warm day, so we were able to sit outside on the patio. The inside was super cute as well, but slightly cold. Which i understand because the weather has been super back and fourth. Our waiter was super nice and helpful. Next time i go back i would like to try their food to see how it is.

This spot definitely got a nice date night vibe to it. Darkly lit. Super chill hostess but limited seating. There are maybe 6 to 8 tables total including a L shape bar that you can pull up to which is exactly where we sat. The bartender was really on point the night we visited. Immediately took our order, gave us a quick perusal of the drinks, and then promptly poured three different types of spirits, a wine for my first brother, a vodka and cranberry for my second and a whiskey flight that they had on the special for myself. We enjoyed all three. In terms of food, we ordered a couple of different appetizers, including the pizza. And I actually was hoping we were going to order dinner because all of the entrees that we saw hit the bar around us looked fantastic. We ended up connecting with a really cool local business owner by the name of Sonny, who is also at the bar having a bit of dinner before heading back to his Shop. That made the overall night even better. This is definitely a spotI will be checking out when I'm back in town.

Possibly an old Victorian home transformed to a dining area with patio seating. Then there are stairs going up to their "inns" which one of the reviews indicated are available via Airbnb. Table setting is cute with tiny dinosaur figurines. Live plants on window sill. I came at around 5 minutes after opening time. The staff clearly wasn't expecting the "just opened" order. I ordered their Greek kessiri cheese served with crackers and rose jelly. It was great, cheese was just right firm. The tofu came out piping hot. It's spiced with good mix of spices, definitely not bland and healthy (baked not fried). The owner Erin (her husband is co-owner) indicated they've been open for 5 years (how come there's not been a lot of publicity that this place deserves???) It's definitely much serene and my type of place for solo dining! Come patronize this gem before they sell the business off!

The atmosphere is inviting, and the service was wonderful and accommodating throughout our visit. I also loved the shorter, thoughtfully selected menu. Sometimes you don't need endless choices you just need really good ones! The crab dip was so good I could not stop eating it. We also ordered the Pesto Chicken and pepperoni flatbreads, and everything from the starters to the entrées was delicious. I loved the raspberry peach sangria. I especially enjoyed learning about how their wines are created in-house, which added something special to the experience. From the coastal atmosphere and great service to the food and wine, Waters Edge Winery is a gem that I highly recommend.

First off, the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous--bright, beautifully decorated, and spotless. It has such a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your time. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our waitress truly made the experience special. She was so knowledgeable about the wines and took the time to guide us through our tasting right at the table. We started with the sangria flight and then let her surprise us by choosing our second flight, and she absolutely nailed it! For lunch, we ordered the shrimp taco appetizer, the steak panini, and the grilled chicken & prosciutto panini. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a lighter lunch. It was one of those meals that leaves you feeling satisfied without being overly heavy. Overall, this was the perfect lunch date. Between the beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, delicious food, and fun wine tasting experience, we had such a great time. I would absolutely come back and would definitely recommend it for a date, girls' day, or even just a relaxing afternoon with friends!

The bookstore is so inviting and the staff is so welcoming. The mood is calm and relaxing. There are many types of seating arranged for sitting and reading. Other sitting for talking quietly about what you are reading with a friend. I enjoyed a great Americano coffee and purchased a new bestseller during this vist. Okay, now this is an example of how nice the owner is to customers. I was in there sitting. reading, and drinking coffee. I found out as I am leaving that the club was closed when I arrived but she welcomed me with a smile anyway! Awesome coffee, great environment, comfy seating and alcoholic beverages. I am coming back when The Book Club is actually open with my girlfriends. Smiling as I type. Enjoy!

The pictures on Yelp did not do it justice…read more We got there 10 minutes before happy hour ended so we were able to squeeze in $7 strawberry mojito and $9 ceviche Mahi Mahi. The mojito was great. Not too sweet and you can taste the mint. My husband got the Oaxaca old fashion which he said was good. The ceviche's presentation looked disappointing but the flavors made up for it. The sauce was very flavorful and complimented the mahi mahi very well. My husband said it was the best ceviche he's ever had For entrees I got the 10 oz picanha. They actually give you two pieces of steak and I took the other one home. It was cooked perfectly to a medium rare with great smokiness. The green beans were a little salty. The yuca was good. My husband liked the filet but I think the picanha was better. Out of all the sauces we chose the chimichurri sauce which complimented the steaks very well. Service was really quick and attentive.

The inside set up is a bit wonky and sometimes the sun comes in through the windows blinding you. We had to move tables. I'd go back!

Yiannis always gets it right no matter what is thrown at them. The optional chef's choice offering (similar to Japanese omakase) provides a relaxing, catered-to experience when decision fatigue is high. We love the subtle Greek twist on the dishes, particularly how well it works with the lamb lollipops. While the food is amazing, the incredible service is what keeps us returning. It is always impeccable, with knowledgeable servers and eager sommeliers, and Yiannis himself frequently stopping by. We were even treated to a tour of the kitchen on our first visit. It is this above and beyond attitude that always makes me recommend Yiannis.

The broth was flat and still had a wine taste to it. When I told the owner, he agreed that the wine taste was overpowering and told me they got a new chef who tried a new recipe and that they will go back to the old recipe. For entrees I got the lamb chops with risotto and she crab soup. The lamb was very tender but the flavor was lacking. It was also luke warm. The she crab soup was good but too salty. The owner also acknowledged that as well. The risotto was okay. Nothing special. My husband got the grilled bronzino and broccolini. I tried some and I liked the taste but he said it could have used more flavor. Broccolini was steamed and I wish they had grilled it instead. The bread pudding was the star of the entire meal. It was made of donuts. It was moist, sweet, and delicious. Drinks: We got a bottle of champagne and two cocktails. Drinks were all very good Service: This is probably why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 3. The service was very good. First, they called me prior to my reservation and asked if they could pre-chill any wine or champagne for my husband's birthday and I was very appreciative of that. When we got there, our drinks came out a little slow but our waiter comped that immediately. Throughout the night, the owner checked in on us several times and that stood out to me. Overall I will come back once they fix some things with the new chef. Hopefully the food will get better
