What a lovely surprise this restaurant was as I found the staff to be quite charming and the food to be absolutely delicious! For lunch I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries and I thought the meal was fantastic. The sweet potato fries were the best I have had to date and the chicken wrap was quite good. My partner has the avocado toast which was quite wonderful and full of flavor! The interior of this restaurant is quite charming as it used to be an old post office and the owners have taken steps to ensure they preserved the old charm of the building. Overall I really enjoyed my dining experience here and would come back without a doubt!

The staff here was incredibly friendly and the service here was spectacular as always! For an appetizer we started out with the calamari which was quite delightful as I love the white sauce it is served with as it compliments this dish perfectly! For entrees we ordered the chicken Marsala and the steak salad. The steak salad was incredibly delicious as always and had the perfect proportions of different ingredients to make it an outstanding tasting salad. The chicken Marsala on the other hand was rather dry and lacking flavor and I would not recommend ordering this as it was quite a disappointment.

While I found the restaurant to be incredibly clean and the staff to be incredibly friendly, I did not taste any peanut butter whatsoever in my strawberry peanut power plus smoothie which was quite a disappointment as I get this smoothie every time I visit a smoothie king and it is usually excellent. Hoping this can be fixed in the future!

This has to be one of my absolute favorite spots in New York City! Each time I come here the service is spectacular and the drinks are delightful! I order the hummus cauliflower salad each time I come here and it is incredibly refreshing and full of delicious flavors! I love the salad that much that I make it a point to stop here each time I travel to New York as I cannot go without the delicious food served here! You must absolutely try this place.

This store is such a disappointment as the hot bar always has old and tasteless food on it, and the quality of the pizza has went downhill. I have had mixed interactions with the staff as some are incredibly helpful while others would not give you the time of day. With regard to the actual grocery shopping experience, they do sell good food however, the food also happens to be incredibly expensive. When comparing this to whole food I really do not understand how they will stay in business as the hot bar and pizza is nowhere near the quality of Whole Foods while the organic produce is actually more expensive in some cases than Whole Foods. Rumor has it they're filing for bankruptcy and I would not be surprised if that turned out to be true as this place has been a consistent disappointment time and again.

I visited this restaurant with my family on Father's Day and it was a delightful experience! The restaurant is located right on the water and the back patio is a wonderful place to have a Sunday lunch as the breeze feels wonderful while eating some delicious seafood. While here I tried the seafood cobb salad and it was delicious! I thought the portion size was just perfect and the portion of lobster given to be very generous especially for just $24. The only suggestion I would have for this dish is to add some type of crunch to it as I found myself wanting this throughout my time eating the salad. I did happen to try some of their fried chicken and Mac and cheese which were both outstanding as well! Overall this is a wonderful place to come for a bight on the weekend as the location is just wonderful and the food is very good!

I was excited to try this place as it is relatively new in the area and I have a love for this type of food. Upon first entering I found the restaurant to be very clean and decorated quite nicely. The staff greeted me when I first walked through the door which I found to be quite nice as most places ignore you until you get to the counter to order. I ordered a bowl with white rice, black beans, their spicy chicken and shrimp. I topped this with pico, cheese and their jalapeños. I also had a side of their chips and guacamole. I found the rice to be tasteless and in need of some seasoning and the beans were just bland. The shrimp reminded me of store bought frozen popcorn shrimp and were quite disappointing, however, I did find the chicken to be quite good! Overall, I found the bowl to be rather mediocre at best and I would not rate it better than a Chipotle bowl, or even close to the freshness of a bowl from Poppo's Taqueria. The guacamole was truly the biggest disappointment of all as it tasted several days old, and like it was store bought guacamole that had sat in the refrigerator way too long. I found this to be the most disappointing part of the meal as the chips I was given were quite good, but I had nothing to dip them in except a truly disheartening guacamole. Major improvements will need to be made in the food quality if they want long term success!

It is always a wonderful experience having my hair cut at Modern Gents in Lakewood Ranch! Alberto is one of the best barbers I have had and his service along with the rest of the staff's is always outstanding! The shop is always very clean and their product line is some of the best I have used to date. Prior to trying their product I had an incredibly dry scalp and was frustrated each time I tried different products to combat this. Alberto recommended the Modern Gents shampoo and conditioner and my scalp has been healthy and well hydrated ever since! I look forward to coming back in the future! Try their product line, it really is outstanding!

I visited this establishment following their reopening after being closed due to COVID. I ordered their fish of the day that being the red snapper and it was quite good! I in general am a big fan of red snapper and really enjoy eating this fish whenever I can. Unfortunately I found the fish was inconsistently cooked as some portions were blackened (as I ordered) and others were quite lacking with regard to blackening. Additionally the sweet potatoes were quite underwhelming and the asparagus was not very exciting. Given the price of the dish and what I received for the price I would not reorder this unfortunately. I am giving three stars as the service was excellent along with the drinks I had, however the fish was quite disappointing. In the future I hope to try future menu items to see if there are more exciting menu items as some of my colleagues dishes looked quite delicious!

Have been coming here several times a week for months and the food has been consistently outstanding! I usually order the Caesar salad with garlic herb chicken or the tulum quesadilla with grass fed steak and love both meals! The staff here is incredibly friendly and provide consistent and excellent customer service. One of my favorite snacks to get from here are their chocolate chip cookies as these taste great and because of how they're made, I do not feel guilty about eating them as they don't break my diet. I look forward to continuing to visit here as the food is outstanding every time!
