WHAT !! In the world did I just experience? This restaurant just WOW !! Has to be one of the best places I’ve ever been to. We had meatballs , mushrooms, fried chicken& paella. Hailey was just the best! Next time we have to order the tacos , banana donuts, the menu is as creative as it is pretty massive. Come early my best advice!

This tapas place on Greenleaf feels like a neighborhood secret. We tried the bacon-wrapped dates and the short rib tacos—both were excellent with a nice balance of flavors. The wine list is small but thoughtful, and the servers actually know the pairings. Music is upbeat but you can still talk without shouting. Make a reservation on weekends because the bar seats go fast.

Was in town for a conference and stopped in while exploring and was phlown into anoter dimension of taste and experience. Had the best server ever, Hayley. Make sure you request her. I had to call my colleague who does copywriting to ask for a eulogy because her jokes killed in the best way possible. Maybe I'll send a bill for the stitches in my side I got from all the laughter?! Can't wait to come back. Definitely on my list to become a regular at.

Hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is unreal! We got the wrapped dates, corn, vegan taco, mac and cheese, the Phlight burger, and the crème brûlée. I can’t even decide which is my favorite since everything was so delicious. Highly recommend!!! You absolutely must try this place. It is more of a communal ordering situation so everyone can try each dish.

This restaurant was amazing! The flavors were incredible—definitely a comfort food haven with a menu that makes it hard to choose just one thing.
One must-try item is the bacon-wrapped date. These bite-sized treats are perfect to pop in your mouth and let melt on your tongue. The sweet, rich flavor is unforgettable.
Another standout is the pork belly taco. The soft tortilla pairs perfectly with the crispy pork belly—the textures complement each other beautifully. The meat is tender and cooked to perfection.
I highly recommend this place if you’re looking to explore a variety of bold and delicious flavors

I’ve eaten here multiple times and the food and service is always outstanding!
Cool decor. Really great tasting food. Great service.
Will go back whenever we can!
Great atmosphere and decent enough food, but the servers were kind of rude and the wait time was over an hour with no pre made appointments

Great place
The food was delicious and the party i was with very satisfied, even though the place was busy we were seated right away.
I absolutely loved this place... Had the skirt steak and it was ridiculously good!! A little pricey, but sooo worth it!! Portions are the perfect size...
The food here is absolutely phenomenal. Everything I've tried has been flavorable and beautifully presented. I highly recommend the pork belly tacos, the corn, and the dates they're my personal favorites every time I come.
What really made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. Our server was incredibly attentive, always making sure our water glasses were full, clearing empty plates promptly, and bringing fresh ones without us even having to ask. She checked in often to see how we were doing and whether we wanted to try anything else. Her kindness and friendly attitude made the meal feel extra special, she genuinely went above and beyond.
Can’t wait to come back!
The food is fantastic!
My GF and I have been here on several occasions, and each time it wows.
It's tapas style and there are a lot of wonderful items to choose from.
We started with the white sangria.
It's crisp, fruity and has a nice acidic kick to it.
It's not overly sweet.
Our first menu item was the goat cheese and arugula salad.
It has toasted pumpkin seeds and strawberries with a vinaigrette dressing.
It's a great mix of sweet and savory with some different textures as well.
Our second course was the Brussels sprouts.
I don't know how they make these taste so good, but they're delicious.
Crispy leaves with tender full sprouts with a wonderful sauce.
Next up was the Mac and cheese with Spanish chorizo (a much harder chorizo than the more crumbly Mexican style).
This was very flavorful but not too rich.
A lot of "fancy" Mac and cheese entrees tend to be overly rich.
This was just perfect.
Lastly, we split the burger.
It was rich and meaty served on an airy bun.
It comes with a balsamic vinegar reduction that really contrasts the meat well.
We were too full to get dessert (a rarity for me).
Our server was friendly and helpful.
The food arrived hot and quickly.
If you like tapas, or flavorful food in general, I would highly recommend Phlight.
