    Great soup and sandwich place at the Roosevelt library. You don't have to buy admission to enter the cafe. Anne Marie was very welcoming!

    This has become a favourite local stop. Delicious clean food and drinks. You can order a made in house sandwich/meal or a grab and go. My go to has become the chicken salad on croissant with a side of their potato salad. They sell these refreshing refreshers (lol) and the mix of flavours are all GOOD ! Staff are friendly and kind. Location is superb it's in the visitors center of a historic homestead of one of the nations greatest leaders. Roosevelt's

As soon as we were seated, the staff provided detailed explanations of the menu and offered excellent wine pairings for our choices. The freshly baked bread with oil was outstanding--absolutely delicious. For our starters, we went with the watermelon gazpacho and asparagus salad, and both were exceptional. For the main courses, we couldn't resist trying the Kala channa hummus, which was absolutely fantastic--I could eat it every day. We also ordered the grilled eggplant, which was equally impressive. Everything was just perfect! Also, I had a guavarita and it was great.

The Bounty's Butcher Board was delicious with cured meats, pate, and a jam. 10/10 The Asparagus with Sheep's Milk Panna Cotta was a star. Layers of flavors did from perfectly cooked chicken cutlet asparagus, olives, Panna cotta, and greens. It delighted the palate. 10/10 The Duck Duo was recommend a student sitting next to us but received mixed reviews. My husband found the meat a bit oily.

The diner has a nice retro feel and was very clean. We ordered the Eveready breakfast with three fluffy buttermilk pancakes topped with two farm fresh eggs, two strips bacon and two sausages, a feta and spinach omelette, and two coffees. I asked for the omelette to be made with egg whites but received a regular omelette instead, which was fine--it was still really good. Everything was delicious, but the fluffy pancakes with strawberry butter were definitely the highlight. We all loved them! The coffee was good as well. Service was attentive without being overbearing, which we appreciated. Our total came to a little over $40, which felt reasonable for everything we ordered. Would definitely come back if we're in the area again!

Today was a different experience; altogether! Some of the booths need to be reupholstered, the menus are starting to come apart, the waiter we had, could barely get the orders straight and to the table in a timely manner. It was if we were in a Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Nightmares episode and didn't know it. Pastrami could've been used as roof shingles, it was that hard. My order was supposed to come with potato salad and he brought macaroni. Duh. My friend ordered the pastrami with lettuce and tomato on the side. They put hot pastrami on top of a cooked tomato and no lettuce. Double Duh! Another friend of mine had the sliders. Yeah, they could slide just like a hockey puck can slide. They were just as hard and tough as a hockey puck. The Cole slaw looks like someone put it through a mixmaster. It had the consistency of sawdust; you couldn't make out the coleslaw from anything else that was in it. It looks like they're riding on their long existence and the Guy Fieri visit from DDD to bring in the diners. Come to think of it, it was odd that it was the dinner hour, and the place was practically empty. Doubt we'll be back.

    Fun Sake brewery that offers a tour and tasting experience! The staff on hand were super friendly,…read moreand our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was very patient with all our questions and walked us from beginning to end of the Sake brewing process. The walking tour lasted for ~45 minutes or so, with the guide ending with a tasting of three different Sakes and pieces of Sushi to pair with. The building itself was quite modern looking (they just built it recently) and very well-kept. You get to see the entire brewery and the equipment they operate with, and there's also a good amount of seating at the front for after the tour. There's also an area where you can look at Sake for sale and buy to take home. Overall, it was a very fun and educational experience, and I would definitely recommend if you're into learning more about Sake!

The setup started a little late, so we had to wait a while for our rice balls, but we ordered the sampler and it was worth the wait. The presentation was adorable and visually beautiful, with the onigiri decorated with flowers. While we waited, we decided to get a table and share a sake flight along with some sushi made fresh by the sushi chef. The sushi was delicious, and we really enjoyed the sake flight as well. It was interesting to notice how different the sakes tasted before eating compared with after having some food. My son and I also explored the gallery upstairs, where we could see some of the vats used to make the sake. The entire space is beautiful--high ceilings, light wood, and a bright, modern feel. Service was attentive overall. Our server initially seemed a little dismissive when she realized we were there for the pop-up, but she became much friendlier once we got a table. From there, everyone was very attentive. I especially appreciated that they brought my son water in a plastic cup shaped like a stemless wine glass so he didn't feel left out while we had our sake flight. Such a cute and thoughtful touch! The sushi chef mentioned Dassai Blue hosts different pop-ups, including ramen on occasion, so we'll definitely keep an eye out for those. Overall, it was a really enjoyable first visit, and we look forward to coming back!
