    We had a wonderful first visit to Pots. Lovely server who explained everything very clearly. Lots of options and customization for different dietary & spice preferences. We loved the marinated beef, pork dumplings, and happily enjoyed broth soaked broccoli with the ramen toward the end of the meal. We’d love to go back with friends in the future.

    Café Paradiso never disappoints! The freshness and quality and variety of food offerings is outstanding. Kudos to one of the best bartenders ever, Kim, thank you for some really wonderful drinks consistently! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The staff makes you feel like part of the family. It’s one of our favorite places.
