    Portobello mushroom appetizer
    Marge M.

    The food was overall pretty good. We started with appetizers-fried calamari was a generous portion, contained tentacles (yum) and fresh; the artichoke and spinach dip was delicious and served in a large fried tortilla bowl; the portobello mushroom was okay. The skirt steak was good, and we chose rice and veggies. The swiss mushroom burger was good but different. It was a portobello on the burger with Swiss cheese on top of that big mushroom cap. I didn't care for the bun, but I was already full so it worked out. The place is decorated so cute with a beautiful Christmas tree, nutcrackers, and decorations and lights galore. We were the only ones in the dining room which was nice. The outside tables and bar were full and there was only one server. This made the service a bit slow to order and not overly attentive. Our server was pleasant but we felt bad as there was only one person for the whole place. I give her credit that she didn't loose her cool with how busy it was for her being the only one with alot of tables to get to.

    Everything was great. They had a live musician and karaoke and bingo. The food was amazing quality.

    I came here on Friday night with friends for the first time. This is an absolute gem. The portions are very generous along with the price point. Service was great and there was even a live band. I will come back here again when I am in town.

    Heard about this place and my wife an I decided to try it today for lunch. We are local and are always looking for new places to eat. Evolution is a hidden gem set in a strip mall which is easily found. Atmosphere is warm, service was great. Met one the owner's Joe who greeted as and explained the restaurants concept and menu. We had two appetizers the rock shrimp and chicken siracha meatballs. The shrimp were freshly breaded and cooked perfectly. The chicken meatballs you can tell were made from scratch. Both were very good. I had a nice Caesar salad . Very fresh and delicious. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich which she said was good. No scrimping on the portions. Fun vibe . They offer wine nite, happy hour, live music, bar bingo nights. Seems like a great place to hangout with friends and enjoy.

    Never thought I could have gourmet artichoke dip. OMG. Divine. Must try to Malbec too. The music, the vibe, the staff... Magical night. I have had the bass and the Ahí Tuna here too. Just amazing.

    This place has been on my radar for a few years but I never had a reason to go. I recently decided…read moreto come here for a wedding anniversary dinner and was blown away by the service and the food quality. Started off with oysters, wine and fresh bread. I could tell that the butter was house made and asked for extra because it was that good. Had the beef duo as the main course. I found it to be satisfying and also much better value than the steak frites. All of the items I received were very detail oriented and as well as fresh. We were seated on one side on the restaurant that I believe was blocked off for more special occasions. The other side of the restaurant seemed to have tables placed more closely to one another. Our server consistently checked on us throughout the night to make sure we were okay. Overall I was very satisfied with the service that I received here as well as with the food.

    I was walking to a Japanese restaurant down the street and simply couldn't walk by. The vibe pulled…read moreme right in and after a long, busy work and travel day, it was exactly what I needed. Cool atmosphere, great energy, and good food! I also got super lucky with Hailey as my waitress. She sold me on just about every item on the menu... to the point where I completely handed over the decision-making to her. Yup, that's right, I told her what I liked and trusted her to pick my three dishes. And listen, when your name is on the menu for crafting a cocktail, I'm going to trust you to pick my meal too! Now for the food: the grilled octopus was amazing. Great flavor, perfect texture, and a really nice balance with the lentils. The shishito peppers were delicious, and the sauce that came with them added the perfect pop of flavor. The beet salad, however, was a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, it didn't have much flavor, so that one left me a bit disappointed. And then there was dessert. Oh man! Hailey did it again. She brought out the sweet corn cheesecake. Sounds weird, I know, but I had to try it. And yes, it definitely had sweet corn! It was a little too weird for my taste buds, but I'm glad I tried it.... Then came the Madeleines. Bite-sized, warm, and absolutely delicious. Fair warning: if you don't tell them to take the bowl away, you WILL eat the entire thing. Man oh man...so good!!! Overall, a really fun experience with a great atmosphere, good food, and a waitress who genuinely made the experience memorable. Kudos to Hailey for the great service and for knowing exactly what to recommend! She definitely made my night.

There is outdoor and indoor dining but since it was blazing hot out I opted to stay inside in the cool AC. Came for brunch on a Sunday so had to try their sangria. It was really refreshing and perfect for a warm day. For entrees, we ordered the short rib hash, chicken and waffles, and the steak and eggs. I had a little of each, but my favorite was the short rib hash. Great flavor and the sauce was fantastic. The steak had a perfect cook on it, and the fried chicken was crispy and flavorful as well. The server was friendly and extremely attentive. He recommended a good dessert which we ended up splitting. When in doubt go with the chocolate brownie Esther vanilla ice cream !

We didn't have a reservation, but they were still able to seat us in the dining room as long as we could wrap up before 1:30, which we appreciated. I wasn't super hungry so we shared the crispy cauliflower and lamb ribs from the appetizer menu. The crispy cauliflower was excellent -- hot, actually crispy, and not drowning in sauce which I really appreciated. The lamb ribs came over labneh (a yogurt base) and the first plate arrived with the lamb cold. I asked our waitress if that was intentional and she said only the labneh should be cold. They immediately replaced it with a fresh order and handled it really well, which I appreciated. Great service recovery and overall a really enjoyable brunch spot with a lively atmosphere.

We decided to have lunch as first-timers at their Wayne location situated in the Wayne Towne Center (Route 23 South). As one steps inside, one is greeted by the staff in an energetic ambiance, with multiple TVs showcasing live sports and an inviting bar stocked with an impressive selection of local craft beers and cocktails. The host led us to a booth in the main dining room. The decor radiates a modern yet cozy vibe, making it the perfect setting for a casual family dinner or a night out with friends. Their sizable menu features their specialty wings, burgers, coal-fired pizza, sushi, salads, and sandwiches. It also offers an extensive craft beer menu, whiskey selections, and specialty cocktails. As an appetizer to share, my partner and I opted for the Breaded Wisconsin Cheese Curds with marinara sauce. We ordered the Veggie Crunch Sandwich and Grilled Chicken Sandwich, accompanied by fries. To wash them down, we decided on the Hugo Spritz and Pomegranate Spritz. Food was fresh, hot, and flavorful. Every dish was perfectly made. Portions were healthy and the price reasonable. Our server Kelly was friendly and professional and wanted to make sure we were happy. Additional personal touches, such as management checking in on tables, left us feeling valued and appreciated. We had a wonderful experience.

We walked over and were delighted to see the enomatic wine dispensers, with lots of wine in them. We started doing our own little wine tasting and started to like the wines we were tasting. Given that this was my son's 21st birthday and now legal to drink, I called him up and told him to finish his arcade experience. Since he doesn't really like drinking (I've tried to educate him at home at times) the tasting would be a good entry into wine. We had him drink a sweet moscato which we all liked. This is now his favorite wine . Not bad for a first timer. Elvis, I think he was the owner, heard our celebration and offered a bottle of Prosecco for the group. We all enjoyed a good toast and continued to go down the rows of wines. I love tasting flights of food and drinks so this place really was heaven to me. If you're thinking of hanging out and not sure of what wine to drink, definitely check out this place. You won't be disappointed.

At Vinoteca, you get a card to tap for unlimited wine to try. A bit on the pricier side especially if you're doing the smaller tastings. If you know what you like, would recommend getting full glasses - more value for your money. The service was great. One of the rosé wines were warm and they swapped it out for a colder one right away. They mentioned they are revamping the place with different wines and pairing menus. Looking forward to coming back.

    We visited Fleming's for a work happy hour. It wasn't our first time there and everyone likes it…read more Their Social Hour menu is a pretty good deal. Some cocktails have special pricing and they also offer bar bites at decent prices. The food was awesome this last visit. With our cocktails, we scarfed down the steak sliders, chicken sliders, Korean chicken bites, meatballs, chips and dip, plus some shrimp. All of the food was outstanding. The steak sliders were juicy and had pink in the middle, which is tricky to achieve with sliders. The Korean chicken bites are sooo good and loved by everyone. Really, nothing was bad. Cocktails were all great too, including my $9 Olive A Martini's. Someone had an espresso martini and couldn't stop talking about it... even the next day. Our server was also the bartender and did a great job tending to us, even while we were all seated at the outdoor tables. We'll definitely be back again!

    We started coming to Fleming's early into the summer and our first thought was, "Why did it take so…read morelong to come here?!" We don't typically go to chain restaurants, so weren't sure what to expect, but are SO glad we didn't let snobby preconceived notions get in the way of what's become a regular Saturday spot. First, the space is gorgeous - so many windows so it's incredibly bright with a separate bar and dining area. We are bar people, so gravitate towards the huge bar - and a plus of Fleming's is that all of the area around the bar (tables/high tops) plus the huge outdoor space gets bar service and access to the bar menu/happy hour. Okay - the happy hour!!! It's EVERY day from 3-6:30 PM with some of the best deals I've ever seen. They have select $9 specialty cocktails (a tequila based one, take on an old fashioned, variation of a G&T, and a dirty martini), $9 glasses of wine, and deals on small bites. The menu is also constantly rotating by the season with some mainstays and things that have changed out. Regardless, it is an absolute deal. A great happy hour and small plates is obviously a huge draw, but what keeps us coming back to Fleming's is the people. From the moment you arrive, there's someone to open the door for you and greet you at the front without fail. The bartenders are incredible - friendly, attentive, great at making drinks for what becomes a PACKED bar, conversational. We genuinely love sitting at the bar and chatting with the team (sometimes for too long, sorry guys!). All in all, Fleming's will continue to be a regular spot, not just for the value of the social hour (and just all around great food and drinks when you step outside of that more limited menu), but mainly for the incredible staff and the feeling of appreciation you get as a guest at Fleming's.
