“Screw Taco Bell, try the Caddywampus crunch wrap supreme, it slaps! Imagine a crunchwrap supreme with lots of ground beef, veggies and perfectly crisp tortilla. Made with care, this is the crunch wrap supreme that dreams are made of!!! They also have a chicken and Caesar salad crunch wrap. This is a restaurant inside of gold point bar. Great place for a craft cocktail and a crunch wrap. Try it, you won’t regret it.“

“We had a Bachelorette party staycation! We came the first morning, AND the next morning because it was sooo good! The wait time was shorter than quoted both times, food and service was so good. We will all be visiting again! Highly recommend!“

“Excellent Pad Thai. Very well balanced spice without overpowering amounts of Tamarind. Fresh bean sprouts. Food made by a craftsman! If you want to muscle it up with chili spice the blend they prepared lit the fire. The mango sticky rice for dessert really is memorable.“

“Best chicken in town, these guys don't Cluck around.“

“Recently scheduled a reservation for my executive team at Whit's End and was very pleased. Seamless from start to finish. Easy to make a reservation, and staff was great at communicating when I called and adjusted our reservation twice based on our fluctuating team needs and attendees. Was the perfect spot for our team to unwind after a long day of meetings, and the food was superb. Recommend for both personal dining or team outings.“

“Pho & Bar is a really solid Vietnamese spot with a modern, trendy atmosphere and a menu that goes beyond just basic pho. The pho is definitely the standout. The broth is flavorful without being overly sweet or heavy, and they have some more interesting options like curry pho, short rib pho, and duck pho that you don’t see everywhere. The curry pho in particular is worth trying if you want something a little different.

The appetizers are also surprisingly good. The dumplings, pork egg rolls, wings, and crab cheese wontons are all solid choices, and the happy hour makes it much easier to try a bunch of different things without spending a fortune. Portions are generous too, especially with the vermicelli bowls and banh mi. They definitely don’t skimp on the meat.

Service has generally been friendly and helpful, even when the restaurant is busy. Staff seem happy to explain the different broths, make suggestions, or bring extra basil, lime, or cilantro if you ask. The atmosphere is fun and casual, with good music, a nice outdoor area, and a more modern feel than the typical neighborhood pho restaurant.

There are a few downsides. Prices can feel a little high for pho, especially once you add drinks or appetizers, and the portions of herbs and sides that come with the pho can be a little skimpy. Service also seems like it can be inconsistent. Most experiences sound very good, but when something goes wrong, the wait can be frustratingly long.

Overall, though, the food is what makes this place worth coming back to. The broth has real flavor, the menu has some creative options, portions are good, and the happy hour is a nice bonus. It’s a good choice if you want Vietnamese food in a more lively, modern setting rather than a traditional no-frills pho shop.“

“I’m obsessed over the turkey sandwich. The pickled onions and what I think is a horseradish sauce really make it above all the others. Highly recommend!“

“I chose the Smoked Salmon Benedict and it was a 10.
Salmon perfect
Capers and dill. Outstanding
Hash browns a suggestion from the amazing waitress again 10.
This kitchen is doing things the right way and not missing for a second. Treat yourself to this restaurant.“

“My wife and I tried the meatball sub and a chocolate-strawberry cannoli. We’re not usually big cannoli people, but this one looked great and tasted even better. The strawberry flavor was fresh, not too sweet, and the shell was perfectly crunchy. The meatballs were flavorful, the sauce was solid, and the bread had a nice crust with a soft interior. We didn’t try the pizza, but everything we ordered was really good. The guy who took our order was also very friendly.“

“We've been bringing food tour guests to Cornicello for years now and we love it. I'm disappointed people don't know that the flavors are seasonal and all gelato is spun in house. I know the Milk Market can be chaotic sometimes but staff at Cornicello have always been helpful to us and our group. Chili Mango is my recommendation if its in season.“
