About buddy

Buddy is a cozy neighborhood spot with a veg-forward menu and a great happy hour deal. The staff is warm and skilled, and the owner is friendly. The cocktail selection is extensive, with the bitter milk punch being a standout. The roasted trumpet mushroom dish and smoked whitefish tonnato are highly recommended, and the brownie is surprisingly delicious. The small plates offer a variety of seafood and veggie options, with the trumpet mushrooms being a favorite for their mix of flavors. On Sunday nights, the Ilna pop-up features chef Maz, who cooks with passion and uses ingredients from local farmers' markets. He also shares his family's Lebanese origins through each dish, with meatballs and prosciutto being particularly popular. The restaurant has a nice sidewalk seating area for warm evenings and a charming setup with an alluring wine selection on the shelves. It’s a great place for enjoying food and drinks with friends, offering a fun ambiance and friendly staff. The portions are small but mindful, making it a perfect spot for classy snacks before heading to a nearby film.
