“I put together a professional event for my approx. 40 direct reports each year. It's basically a day of education and team-building. I had my event catered this year by Cafe George By Paula and they did an EXCELLENT job. The breakfast and the buffet lunch were fantastic and Paula's team provided excellent service without ever disrupting any of the day's activities. I cannot recommend them highly enough!“

“Very quiet restaurant in hotel lobby. Service was very friendly and attentive. Slightly overpriced for quality of food. Menu was very limited, with really the option for dinner being a burger, taco, or turkey sandwich. Food was very good and not greasy. However, it was expensive for the quality.“

“Came here for New Year's Eve with my boyfriend. The menu was prixe fixed at 90 pp. The food was okay. Some of it had too much going on in it. Overall great service and nice ambiance and romantic atmosphere with a nice view as it is on the 19th floor of the hotel. Would come back and try it on a non-holiday day. Or for lunch maybe. Nice looking bar also.“

“We tried Bella’s Cafe a few weeks ago and had to go back! The food is incredible (the creamiest, most delicious cheese grits I’ve ever had). The strawberry rhubarb French toast special was next level. Staff is so friendly. If you are looking for yummy comfort food in a warm and inviting place, check out this spot!“

“Parking: I’m handicap and I had to get a parking spot down a way from the actual restaurant.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible at all. Very popular diner therefore it was a very busy place. I use a walker and could barely fit.“

“Ordered wings from here for a party and they were the best as usual! Everyone at the party kept asking where the wings were from because they were so good! Very fairly priced too! My son went to pick up and they helped him bring to the car, great service!“

“First time here and went with a traditional cheese pie. YUMMY!! The sauce is amazing and for us it had just the right amount of cheese. Some will find the flop factor a negative but I truly didnt care as the taste made up for it!! We will for sure be back to try more menu items!“

“3 of us came to watch my granddaughter play in a basketball tournament at SCSU. We had Googled 'dive bars' on the way. We were not disappointed. The neighborhood atmosphere was evident. From the 3 friendly patrons who greeted us to the genial bartender. A 'Cheers' atmosphere. The 'melt in your mouth' burgers were the best ever. And we were pleasantly amazed with the bill! A definite place to return.“

“Cute little place, but bigger than it seems when you first walk in. easy to miss trying to find it but NOT to be missed out on. Only critique: asked for a Jager bomb and got a guiness with a shot of Jager in it. If you don't know how to make it, don't be afraid to ask.“

“Mory's has great food. I can't get enough of the moule frites. Mussels topped with French fries and this amazing mustard sauce. It'll make you want to lick the plate. But please don't. Caesar salad is also a huge portion and can be topped with an add-on of chicken, salmon and even tofu. There are vegetarian options as well.“

“Cozy atmosphere, really extensive wine list and comprehensive tasting notes. I love to do a wine flight (3 2 oz. glasses) and do a blind tasting with a partner, then try to match them to the wine based off of the tasting notes. We also tried the chocolate lava cake, which was decent and a good pairing with the drinks. Service was attentive and excellent. A wonderful experience overall, and an underrated gem in the neighborhood.“

“Morning and night time staff is always excellent and proficient!!“
