I arrived a bit ahead of the reservation, and my friend was 5 minutes late. When delivering my iced tea in that interval, the waitress sighed heavily when I asked for a glass of water, too. When she returned to take both food orders, she sighed again, more audibly, rolled her eyes and checked her watch when my friend was not ready to order. After maybe 5 minutes, the waitress was back and my friend was ready. Waitress sighed impatiently once again when my friend asked what the side options were. Rather that rattle them off, she pointed at the back of the menu. Apparently we took too long to eat our entrees. The waitress grabbed my plate without asking if I was finished. I hadn't actually decided if I was finished and there was lots of food left on the plate. Nor did the waitress ask if I wanted a doggy bag. The bill arrived promptly, before we had a chance to ask about desserts. We were still working on our drinks, when the waitress shut off the electric lights over us. I asked, "Are going to sweep us out the door with a broom next?" She responded petulantly that the would start vacuuming soon and, looking at her watch once again, said the restaurant was closed. Now, perhaps this was the case of one rude waitress. But I will never go to SB&L again.

From the moment we walked in, the service was prompt and friendly, but it was the food that truly made it. Every dish was absolutely spectacular. The coffee was exceptional.

Highly recommended.

Crack one open and be generous with their signature green sauce. It's just heaven. I've eaten around the menu a bit and I have good things to say about their kitchen overall. Definitely recommend their beef empanadas. And also their bowls. And also fried yucca and plantain. I mean just throw a dart man, you can't go wrong. Their menu is solid and their execution admirable. I really like their flavours and I find myself thinking of that Papa Rellena at least once a week...

Well thank goodness I finally decided to nip in to 3rd Generations Grill last evening for a hot meal and a cold beer after a long day. I was quite happy with the experience. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but the dining room is large, open, and features a nice bar at the back with a decent selection of draft beer (sadly no dark options for the porter- and brown ale-loving crowd) and sundry spirits. The walls are plastered with rock & roll posters (they get extra credit for the Ziggy Stardust poster on the left side of the room as you enter) and the space is clean and well lit without being antiseptic and blazing. I think with a larger crowd (it was a bit sparse on my visit) the room could be a bit loud, so if quiet is your thing maybe plan for a low traffic time. After negotiating a workaround for the QR code-based online menu (I deduct a full star if that's my only option for ordering because I think it's poor service), I ordered the Generator burger from my very friendly, helpful, and service-forward bartender. What's great is I told him what I was looking for and he competently guided me to one of the best burgers I've had in a while. Double smashed patty, double bacon, cheese, onion. I added lettuce and tomato because I want to dupe myself into believing I had a vegetable that evening. Comes with side of their hand-cut fries and is a hearty portion of well prepared food. When I say this is a two-handed-eat-over-the-plate-like-a-caveman burger, that's exactly what it is. Thing is a monster of beautiful beef and bacon and cheese (sorry vegans, try again). Oh, and the food came out in good time--not fast food, but good food fast. I have a minor quibble with the fries which, while hand cut and nicely seasoned, were a bit under and kinda soggy. Not inedible, but could be better. I think if they blanched the fries before the final cook they'd achieve a crispier outside with that nice cushy potato centre you want in a French fry. But that's the only quibble. Service: six stars Food: four stars Ambiance: four stars Value: five stars I'll be going back again, for sure. No photos this time because I am a pig man and I tend to eat half my plate before my brain says, "hey! Yelp review inbound!"

Fortunately, this outlying location is only a 15 minute drive or so away, which deprived me of peak freshness. However, this mishap did not deprive me of quality food. My lentils and spinach were hearty and spicy, my samosa chaat was gigantic, and the bread I got to mop up the lentils had a pleasing herbal aroma. They had abundant options and I would be happy to go back and try the one in Staunton. This location is in a more banal strip mall but was doing good business and was open on a holiday.

My friends and I went to Afton this past weekend for a quick getaway. Before the trip, I did some…read moreresearch on local coffee roasters, and Happ Coffee was easily at the top of my list. On our way to our Airbnb, a friend and I stopped by Happ, which is located inside an industrial-style building that's incredibly spacious. There's plenty of seating, along with a dedicated area where beans are available for purchase. The barista was really friendly, and we ended up having an in-depth conversation about drink recommendations. When I settled on a cappuccino, he walked me through how each milk option paired with the espresso. I ultimately chose whole milk since it doesn't have an overpowering flavor like almond milk, which allowed the light-roast espresso (an optional upgrade) to really shine. I didn't fully enjoy the cappuccino during the first couple sips because the mouthfeel of the whole milk felt a bit too thick, which didn't pair well with the light roast. However, it became more harmonious as I continued drinking, and the highlight was definitely the bright sweetness of the espresso. I really appreciate a coffee shop that pulls a light-roast espresso well. The barista asked for my thoughts, which I shared, and he then pulled me a shot using their South Paw (house espresso blend) beans to try. I thoroughly enjoyed this light-medium espresso, which was bright and strong, without the unpleasant acidity or bitterness that often follows. I don't typically recommend ordering a straight espresso shot at most coffee shops, but Happ does it well. Overall, it was a great experience -- lovely coffee and friendly baristas who genuinely care about their craft. I left with one of their limited-release coffees (a Peruvian Geisha), which I'm looking forward to trying as a pour-over at home.
