The month i went, December, gave me a choice of a soup, an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The soup was delicious: Lightly spiced and warming for the weather outside. Same with the fish. I wish I got more of these. For my meat entree, I chose the guinea fowl as my entree. I was disappointed in this one because it was dry. Sorta like chicken, but all the way from New Zealand. Service was exceptional. The restaurant was dark, and the couches looked comfortable. I just wish I got a seat on one of the couches.

Her pasta was crunchy (sorry but that means RAW) and my burger tasted like it came from a packet. Not what you expect when you're paying these prices. They didn't have oat milk so Courtney couldn't have her iced latte and that basically ruined the whole evening. She sat there saying the "vibes were off" which as her mother I could immediately tell was TRUE. Staff were friendly but a bit too laid back if you ask me. This isn't a festival, it's a RESTAURANT. Won't be rushing back. Courtney says she's "never eating here again" and honestly I stand with my daughter. DO BETTER. -- Sharon x

Nil Bleu: "You don't have a reservation, but we can seat you if you are done by 8pm." Great care was put into quality food, and the tej was quite good and perfectly chilled. This could certainly be a place to sample Ethiopian cuisine for the first time if you were uncomfortable going elsewhere.

Everything about Kwizinn was impressive and more than expected for the price. The ambiance was so comfortable and inviting. The service was excellent. I had the Lobsta Pasta and was wowed.

The goat, lamb, and oxtail were absolutely out of this world, flavorful, tender, and perfectly executed. Huge shoutout to the bartender as well, as he clearly knows exactly what he is doing and crafts excellent drinks. Unfortunately, the table service was subpar and dragged the experience down. Our server was highly inattentive, left us waiting for long stretches, and never introduced herself. She also missed the opportunity to see if we wanted another round of drinks once dinner arrived. Most disappointing of all, they completely looked past the note on our reservation about celebrating my mother's birthday. Go for the incredible food, but the front of house service needs a lot of work.

We quickly disappointed when the papaya salad was just julienne sliced papaya topped with sweet and sour bottled sauce. The rest of the dishes (chicken in satay sauce, fish in brown sauce, beef) tasted the all the same and the meat didn't taste fresh. The calamari was hard and I felt like chewing rubber. The only dish we like is their soup. In terms of service, the server just placed the dishes on the table without telling us which one which. They didn't say anything when we said thank you. I don't like giving a bad review but I feel they need to improve. If you're looking for an authentic Thai food, I'm afraid this is not the place.

Very cozy, perhaps too cozy... I made reservation and I am glad I did as it was packed inside. I ordered the cheesesteak sandwich with the side salad.

The vinegarette was balsamic, it was good but the salad did not have a lot of dressing on it, 4/5. Service was prompt and courteous. Prices are decent. Definitely recommend
