The bowl gave us the perfect opportunity to try a little bit of it all. Staff member was friendly and did not skimp on toppings. We did 1/2 falafel and 1/2 mushrooms for the protein - both SO good. And the zesty feta is a must! The tahini milkshake was the icing on the cake... I'm not ever a fan of milkshakes but WOW - so creamy and delicious without being overly sweet - perfection... just don't look at the calorie count, lol!

I chose Pita bread - they spread 3 types of Hummuses (I chose Harissa, Tzatziki, and Zesty) with beans, spinach, Chicken Shawarma, toppings (Onions, cabbage, Beets, tomato, etc...), and dressing... you can choose whatever you want out of their spreads, proteins, toppings, hummus - it's cool...mind it- their hat sauce can be really hot. Sweet owners, helping you to choose cause let's accept it, it can be confusing sometimes. Yes, it was so messy while eating - but I loved it. On a busy day, there could be a cleanliness issue - just ignore it. they are trying their best. The portions are generous and very satisfying, and the menu is all very fresh and healthy. This is a great take-out spot that I recommend to everyone.

This was the worst customer service experience I have had in a long, long time. After joining the…read morewaitlist online, we checked in, were told it would be 15-25 minutes and were 17th in line. 25 minutes later, we were told the same thing, even though the online system said no one was ahead of us. 25 minutes later we were told we had never checked in ... by the same young lady who "checked us in" the previous 2 times. We were seated after about an hour wait after our 1st check in. After 10 minutes our server - who explained she was training and it was her 1st day came to the table without the server training her. Needless to say, she didn't know the menu and needed to come back again to get details on our meal (this is not her fault, and who made the decision to have a trainee work her 1st day on a holiday without supervision). We did receive our food, but couldn't get a refill on my iced tea because our server never check in on us. I didn't see our actual server until I had completed my meal. I asked to see the manager. I explained all of this to the manager and she had zero empathy for our situation. Instead, she defended the ladies at the front and said the training server was one of her better servers. All she offered was a faint, half-hearted apology. I've worked as a server and can understand when someone is in the weeds. In this case, it was just horrible service, and a manager who didn't appear to understand what quality service is. The food was fine ... not sure if it is worth the hassle.

On a search for a healthy-ish early dinner before a local event, Yelp brought me to Ocean Cafe! I…read morewas actually looking for a cafe/coffee shop that serves food, but luckily the "cafe" search added this spot to the list. They were not too busy when I stopped in, so I was able to get my order in right away. And I do have to say the woman that took my order was so kind and helpful! She even helped me track down another open spot to grab a coffee! I went with the salmon sandwich and it was SO GOOD!! Salmon was perfectly cooked and so flavorful and all of the sauces and other bits in it were delicious. It came on soft french bread with mango, avocado, dill, cucumber, tomatoes, mixed greens, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Kind of my perfect sandwich. They have half and whole sizes, the whole is most likely going to be perfect for two meals, if not one big and very filling meal. They are a block from the beach so I know parking can be tough in this area in the summer, but on a December weekday it was easy! The vibe inside is clean but very casual. Perfect for a quick, easy and delicious meal. Enjoy!

The staff are super friendly…read more The menu has so many good options, so I went with the seasonal special which was a tomato vegetable soup with a kimchi seasoning. It was great and I normally do not go for tomato soup. This was so flavorful and not so tomato-y. The seasoning with a slight kick put this on the map of good soups. The soup came with a scallion pancake grilled cheese which I loaded up with cucumber kimchi and hot sauce from the kimchi bar. The fusion came to life here, picture a quesadilla, but use a scallion pancake instead of a tortilla - most importantly, delicious I ordered a freshly made cantaloupe aguas Fresca and that was the perfect sweet balance to this meal. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique concept, seasoned food and a friendly vibe. Bonus - thud place is right across from the actual ocean. So, if it's nice weather, you can walk over there and enjoy it.

While all of the tacos were delicious and fresh, their fish tacos have become my new favorite! I loved the tangy flavor of the pickled onion, paired with a soft fish and a bit of spicy mayo. The wings were also just as good as last time. Our side of chips was nice and crunchy, and tasted great with their Asian pear sauce. Service here was really quick! We visited on a December Sunday, so it wasn't really busy. The employee at MOGO was nice and checked in on us during our meal. It was easy to find a clean spot to eat. Additionally, they had a bit of cute holiday decor inside. I look forward to coming back!

Follow up, I came back the next day. Management stepped up big time and made everything right! They doubled my order and gave an extra coupon for a 3rd Lobster sandwich, which are delicious!

The ambience is absolutely beautiful warm, inviting, and the perfect atmosphere whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a nice night out. I ordered the dry-aged bourbon ribeye, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. It was so tender it practically melted in my mouth, like cutting through butter. The flavor was incredible, with the perfect balance of smoky richness and a subtle sweetness that made every bite unforgettable. What really made the evening special was our server, Mark. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of our questions about the menu. His positive attitude and genuine hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you get Mark as your server, you're lucky and guaranteed to have an excellent dining experience. To top it all off, we ordered the Chiro Bowl for dessert, and because it was my birthday, they surprised me by putting it on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect ending to an amazing meal. If you're looking for an outstanding steakhouse with incredible food, a beautiful atmosphere, and exceptional service, Butcher's Block is the place to go. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be coming back!
