    We just tried the new menu at OK Omens. It’s long been one of our favorite restaurants and after last night, it will remain one of our top choices. The new menu is different in style and in flavors, with a couple of holdovers. The wine choices are still unique and described so poetically. We were very happy with our choices and look forward to trying some of the other new dishes on our next visit.

    The food at Yalla was all delicious, the hummus with burnt ends and radicchio salad to start were so incredibly flavorful. The short ribs, skewers and delicate squash were all wonderful. Cocktails were well made and good wine as well. This place does not disappoint, so lucky to have it so close to home!!!

    Tavern on Kruse has such a great menu with a diverse collection of dishes that I am always sure to find something that I will love. But the Ahi Tuna Burger is the only thing that I have ever ordered. It is absolutely delicious, and the crispy avocado is a special surprise added to it. I hope that they never take this off the menu.
