Incredible food options, one of the most beautiful low-key bars in the area, and live music that actually fits the room. On any given night, you might be sipping Johnny Blue with expertly crafted sushi (trained by a local master) while the person next to you is enjoying a Michelob Ultra and a slice from the legendary Sal's Pizza--and it all just works. Think upscale Cheers. The service is a huge part of the magic. Bartender David is phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and somehow remembers what you like. Ray, the manager, keeps everything running smoothly and effortlessly, while owner Mico is always present, setting the tone and making sure the place feels genuinely cared for. Bonus: local artist Robin Lore hosts an open mic night every Wednesday at 7p - 10p, which perfectly captures the neighborhood vibe. More than a bar or food hall, it's a true melting pot of the neighborhood. You never know who'll walk in next. Highly recommend.

If you give me a place with a "build your own hot dog" vibe, I walk in with HIGH EXPECTATIONS. The Angry Dog exceeded our expectations. Our experience started with "Hector's Poutine" which had the added intrigue of chorizo. They have a decent wine list, and I selected a glass of cab. I ordered my dog bacon wrapped with grilled mushrooms, grilled jalapeños, chili, and cheese. It was S-tier. My wife got the club sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Service is great, they were busy, but not over-crowded. Overall, it was a delightful find, and near the top of my list for hot dogs!

I've done the burgers and the Hot Dog, both are great. But the Fried Chicken Sub Buffalo Style is a damn good chicken sandwich. I haven't been here in 10 years and it is still great. Crispy bacon, fresh avocado, crunchy chicken on a crusty, but soft bun. It's freaking great. Tomato and lettuce on the side were really fresh. Great for dipping in the sauce. I ask for ranch and they always bring two. Great for dipping that sub into. It does come with a house sauce, but I actually like to dip my fries that I get fries.

I came across this place while searching for a quick spot to meet my daughter near her new job. The…read morevibe of this restaurant is really cool and laid back. But perhaps maybe a little too laid-back for a quick work lunch. LOL. It took our waitress a while to check in on the 3 of us. My daughter had arrived first and when we got there, there was already three waters on the table, but I wanted to order a drink and we had to hustle since my daughter was on her lunch break. By the time the waitress showed back up from her initial visit with my daughter, we were all ready to order our food. Luckily it didn't take too long for the food to come. My daughter and I shared the chipotle pork tenderloin. We were torn between the tenderloin, fried chicken thighs, and blackened redfish étouffée. Unfortunately, they were out of the étouffée, so the waitress suggested that between the chicken thighs and the tenderloin, that the tenderloin would be the best choice. And it was AMAZING! I'm not much of a pork tenderloin person, but it was fantastic. Very tender. Very flavorful. My son had the toasted Cuban sandwich and he said it was very good. I also got a cocktail called the Blackberry battery and it was amazing. I almost got the old-fashioned, but decided on the blackberry battery because of the description mentioned it had muddled blackberries. Their dessert choices looked amazing particularly the Keylime dessert. Unfortunately, my daughter had to head back to work, so she wasn't able to stick around for dessert. As it turned out, that was probably for the best! I told the waitress I wanted to order the Keylime dessert and she said they didn't have it so I wasn't gonna get anything but my son insisted that we get the ice cream puff dessert. And although they ended up being fairly decent, it was the 20 minutes to get the dessert that was a problem. The waitress said twice that our dessert would be out soon but it took 20 minutes for it to finally come out. Luckily my son and I didn't have any additional plans and so we weren't in a rush, but this could be a major issue for someone who was trying to get back to work. I definitely would consider going back because the food/drinks were wonderful!
