“Love this place! Every sandwich is delicious! Plz update your website with a better quality menu. You can’t really read anything on it, your website is great besides that. Every time I’ve ordered it’s been a guessing game, but that’s how I know everything is great!”

“I have the avocado lotto and it was plenty so much that I have enough for supper. The fruit was fresh and plentiful. The tunafish and cottage cheese were excellent. The patty melt with onions was cooked perfectly. It came with a cup of soup and a generous portion of coleslaw. We will definitely come back here again.”

“It's actually a gift store with tons of beanie babies and garbage from eBay. There were some items called 'antique' probably in the literal sense, it's been sitting there forever. I did buy some stuff though like Porcelain fisherman for my dad and some musicians with odd expressions”

“Best Venue in Batavia, the owner Melissa is a Godsend. The food is outstanding and the staff are all super welcoming and fun. We love playing here every year. The Beer Garden is #1 if you haven’t checked it out yet… what’s wrong with you???”

“My wife and I eat regularly at Estancia for dinners and lunch. IMO it is tasty with reasonable portions and good prices. Overall it is better then some of the larger Mexican restuarants in the area with a casual atmosphere and great customer service. Too many persons fall for the ambiance of a place and don't get quality or authentic Mexican food. In warm weather their small patio is very inviting with plenty fo parking nearby.”

“We visited BZ Red Hots at Brookfield Zoo today. We had a wonderful time at the zoo and the best part in my opinion was taking a break for lunch at BZ Red Hots. Service was awesome! Ellise helped us with ordering our food and drinks at the kiosks. She was such a pleasaure with a big smile on her face. I'm sure she's one of her manager's favorite employees if not THE favorite. Thank you again for all your help Ellise. Food was great too. 😊”

““It’s important for young employees to receive proper customer service training. Today the cashier’s attitude wasn’t the best, and it showed a lack of experience. I believe the company should provide more training to young staff so they can offer the same quality of service an adult would. Good customer service makes all the difference.””

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3”

“Delicious and beautiful pieces, mainly nigiri though there was a sushi roll piece and a hand roll. This place focuses on clean flavors and quality over quantity but we were both quite full by the end. The sushi chef was very personable and fun. Great spot for a special date night. Do not recommend for groups based on the seating.”
