The place's vibe seems to be somewhere between a local pizza shop and a rundown upscale restaurant. That said, our food was fantastic.

We also overheard the waiter for the table next to us ask them if they could pay their bill in cash, which seemed to be a strange request

Sign as you walk in says "carry out only," but there's a couple highchair tables that allow you to wait for your food. It's a small place, meant for you to order takeout.

The steak was well seasoned and had a good amount of gooey melted cheese on top. This is a solid sub and I would definitely come back to have it again. I'd also return to try some of the other food that looks delicious on their website.

Right next to the 7-11 in Burke lies a hidden gem that serves so much delicious food! If you are…read moreever in the mood for wraps/sandwiches/burgers, this is the place for you. What also makes this place stand out is definitely the hours. For someone that's a night owl, this is great for late night food in Burke. There's not much options either and I think we could always use more options like these. I got the BBQ Wrap which was a wrap filled with Chicken Tenders, Fries, Cheese, Lettuce, and BBQ Sauce. I can't really complain about the portion you are getting. It is a lot for the price alone and it's worth every single dollar. You may need to be patient as I only saw one person manning the whole store and I think I came at a time when it was near closing. Please support this place. We need more places like these in Burke!

Wings | Bar | Vibes…read more Wings -- The wings are definitely one of the highlights here. They come out hot, flavorful, and cooked with a good balance of crispiness and sauce. It's the kind of place where you can easily order a few baskets for the table and keep the conversation going for hours. Great option if you want quick food that still feels satisfying. Bar -- This spot feels like a true neighborhood bar in the best way. The drinks come out fast, the bartenders keep things moving, and the atmosphere is relaxed without feeling chaotic. It's an easy place to stop in for a casual drink, watch a game, or meet up with friends after work. Vibes -- The overall vibe is what makes this place stand out. It's casual, social, and comfortable -- the kind of spot where people actually stay and hang out instead of rushing through a meal. Good for conversation, catching up with friends, or just spending a laid-back evening without needing anything overly fancy. Pro tip -- This is a great "meet in the middle" type of place for groups because the menu is simple, the service is quick, and the environment makes it easy to linger for a while. Pro tip -- The menu works especially well for sharing, so ordering a few appetizers for the table is probably the best move.

First off, this place oozes timeless, upscale elegance. The warm, sophisticated ambiance, expertly crafted cocktails, and attentive, old-world service make every visit feel like a celebration.

The wine list is curated to perfection, with an incredible selection of vintages that pair flawlessly with every cut, and the cocktail program is top-tier, with hand-shaken martinis (just like in the photo!) that are smooth, balanced, and absolutely delicious. Every side, from the creamy lobster mac to the crispy fries, is made with the same attention to detail as the steaks. The service here is next-level. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure every detail of your meal is perfect, from recommending the perfect wine to remembering your favorite cocktail.

Sweetwater is a great place to go for good old American food and fresh fish. Although I didn't get it this time, my friend did, the Hickory burger is the best! This coming from a person who doesn't understand why people order hamburgers at restaurants. I too enjoy that hamburger once in a while. It's the best!

Whether I'm there for brunch, lunch, or dinner, I have to order the mussels in garlic white wine sauce every single time. I still haven't found mussels that beat Trattoria's, and I've tried quite a few, even in Maine. If you're indecisive about your entrée, don't worry. I promise, no matter what you order, you're going to love it. The pasta is freshly made, and you can truly taste the difference. Their espresso martinis are also one of a kind. The staff is always attentive, welcoming, and makes the whole experience feel special. From the outside, the restaurant may look small, but once you're inside, there are different rooms, multiple floors, and even an outdoor dining area that feels like it transports you straight to the streets of Sicily. This place is truly Italy on a budget, and if you get addicted like I did, don't say I didn't warn you.

When I called, they were not super busy and the hostess easily reserved us a table for our arrival. I ordered their signature dish, the homemade tagliatelle with Bolognese...I have to say that I was disappointed by the Bolognese. It wasn't made with the traditional beef/veal/pork mixture. It was made with an Italian spiced sausage. The flavor of the Italian sausage dominates the dish. It's too strong. I hope management reads this and possibly makes a change. The rest of the food was good as usual. Our server did a good job.

It's in a newish shopping center, which, for us, had a bonus-- there is a Harris Teeter there. We needed to pick up some items, so we did before having dinner. We were here for an early dinner. Now that it's getting darker so early, we try to avoid driving after dark, when possible. Thus, we were here around 3 p.m. and were glad to see they were serving dinner at that time. To drink, I chose a mocktail called "What a lychee" which consists of "lychee, pineapple juice, club soda". It was garnished with a lychee. I did enjoy this drink. My husband had a non-alcoholic Stella Artois. Upon arrival, we were greeted and seated immediately. Having looked at the menu before arriving, we each knew what we wanted. I chose to try the "Blackened Pan Seared Yellow Fin Tuna" which (supposedly) consists of: "Topped with jumbo lump crab meat, sundried tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, creamy lemon sauce served with rice." My husband chose the "Shrimp platter," which (supposedly) consists of: "crispy beer battered shrimp, coleslaw and chipotle sauce served with hand cut French fries." It took a while for our food to come out. As I was eating, it dawned on me that there was no crab meat or sundried tomatoes. Also, the sauce sure was a creamy lemon sauce. It was more like a miso-flavored sauce. Hard to say if the menu got changed, but no new menus were printed up to fix it. Or was it that the young man who cooked the food wasn't familiar with the entrees? Still, despite the discrepancies, I did like this dish, although it would have been even better if they had prepared it correctly. My husband noticed that there was no Chipotle sauce on his dish. Instead, there were two small containers: one with ketchup and another with tartar sauce. He, too, thought that his shrimp was well prepared, although the breading didn't cling to the shrimp. This experience left us with mixed feelings. On the one hand, we appreciated the friendly, attentive service. Yet, on the other hand, we wonder whether it's worth going again, given the possibility of not getting all the ingredients for one's entree. We liked the ambiance, which evoked images of the beach. They have some nice paintings on one wall depicting the seashore, a lighthouse, and beach houses.
