Those small each, and every piece was so quality and had layers to flavor. The short man behind the bar was absolutely pleasant Ant and made jokes with us and welcomed us from the moment we walked in. All service members were pleasant. Atmosphere is calming yet lively and fun.“

“If you're a One Piece fan, 100% come and enjoy this food. I really thought it was going to be overpriced, mediocre food with One Piece all over the place, but I was wrong. The food is amazing and actually really affordable. I definitely recommend 2 dishes, the Sizzilin Pork and the Navigator Steak. Both are amazing and I could eat them all day!“

“I ordered the petit filet medium rare; when the waiter brought it to our table he saw that the meat was well done. Without my asking, he offered to have it done again, but I declined his offer. The manager then came to our table and. apologizing, offered again to have it redone. I again declined and was told there would be a significant reduction in my bill - which there was. I really felt like I was well taken of by servers trying very hard to do their best.“

“Had a great experience. Croissants were amazing and after we finished, our waitress came up to us and gave us 5 different pastries to take home for free!!!! Thank you.“

And if you are feeling romantic, Just 2 blocks away you will find the Executive Airport Hotel with sexy and romantic suites!“

“We reserved a table for 10 for my daughters birthday. Initially they had a table set up for us in the bar area. This was an issue due to my father being deaf and the noise level although wasn't too bad was a lot for him because of his hearing aids . I asked to be moved to a quieter section and the staff was amazing . They went above and beyond to assist us and we ended up with the best waitress. She was on top of everything and made sure we were well taken care of . I believe her name was Marcella . Deylia the manager and the rest of the staff also made this a wonderful birthday for our family making sure all our needs were meet. Thank you for accommodating our request so last minute, you guys are amazing ! N good job with higher ups for hiring such great people 😊 *** apologies if names were mispelled or forgotten , drinks were had as well as good times and some things get forgotten 😅*** again thanks for an amazing family night !“

“Mike, Jody, Chu and the entire Mariposa team are top notch. From being warmly greeted at the door by Ronaldo and the host crew to every other detail it was the most pleasurable dining experience. The tuna tartare was wonderful and it was complimented by a warm chocolate chip cookie at the end of the meal. Can't wait to come back again.“

“A good place to enjoy tasty food in the best Venezuelan style! Very tasty indeed, one begins by delighting the palate but at the end of the dish one feels the excess of fat, which is not to my liking! But in general the service and atmosphere are good! Needless to say, it is highly recommended.“

“This was my first visit and the food was very good. We had reservations so there wasn’t a wait. I had the chicken and waffles and the portion was so much that I couldn’t eat it all. Would definitely eat there again.“

“Man, what a find! I was driving around after a brutal early morning of Amazon deliveries (you know how it is!), and I was seriously craving some good grits. I actually Googled "grits near me," which is how I stumbled upon this place. I'd seen a review that mentioned "classic diner vibes," and that totally sold me. Walking in, it was like stepping into a different world although it's a bit dated, everyone was so friendly – not just the staff, but the other customers too! I got a bunch of "good mornings" from complete strangers, which was honestly so refreshing. It felt like a real community, a family kind of atmosphere. My server was a total sweetheart. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and was super helpful in guiding me to the perfect breakfast. I ordered the Chuckwagon with eggs over medium, pan sausage, home fries and a side of cheese grits. My server even pointed out a way I could save a few bucks, which I really appreciated. It's awesome when servers are that considerate. The food came out fast and was exactly what I was hoping for – hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I got over-medium eggs and grits, and when I poured the grits over my eggs, my server gave me a knowing look and said, "Now that's how you do it – the classic Southern way!" That just made my day. It brought back all these memories of having breakfast with my grandparents – those classic diner breakfasts that just feel like home. It was a real nostalgia trip. Seriously, the whole experience was just what I needed – good food, good people, and a great atmosphere. It just felt… good. I did notice the prices were a little higher than what I saw in some older menu pics online, but honestly, with everything going on these days, it's not surprising. Even with the slightly higher prices, I absolutely loved this place. I'm definitely going back soon. It's the perfect spot for a comforting, classic breakfast that just hits the spot.“

“We were looking for a nice place to have good food and nice ambience- we found that at Cheddars Scratch Kitchen🤗. So the food: hot when it arrived at the table - that’s a good sign because. It wasn’t sitting And getting cold / the portions were nice and the descriptions on the menu were accurate. The drinks are “Full- Size” and not just high - fructose syrup —- oh and nicely priced 🤗. Love the ambience - atmosphere - very comfortable. We’ve been looking for a nice place in Kendall to get good food / drinks and we have found it ‼️“

“Servers all said they knew nothing about the Thursday 1/2 rack of ribs special that they said it isn't offered anymore. Well flipping through the adds attached to the table flip add list, we showed it and she said she would have to speak to her manager. She returned saying they can honor it. People don't all know to flip through that and just get handed a regular menu with no extra attachment or notification. Open to all customers!!“
