“We eat here fairly frequently, food is always clutch, drinks always delicious. Service is positively stellar, kind, and prompt, Angelica tonight was no exemption. She was very welcoming and provided excellent service. We'll keep coming back!“

“We had a wonderful time on our anniversary and again when we returned to celebrate a friends birthday. The drinks were delicious and beautifully served. And every part of the meal was incredible! The apple and kale salad was amazing. The duck frites are so delicious and we have had the salmon dish and the pork chop dish. The portion sizes are generous and you won’t be disappointed!“

“Kanela (New Haven) is my absolute favorite place for coffee! Their prices are reasonable, the staff are always super friendly and helpful, I’ve never waited more than 2 minutes for my coffee, and the quality is spectacular. You can’t go wrong with Kanela 🩷☕️“

“Rudy and I celebrated our 40th anniversary there on 7/27. This was our first visit at the new location. Mickey was our Server and she is EXCELLENT at taking care of customers. We had a full menu with some leftovers for later. I splurged on a Blackberry Smash Mocktail. Interestingly different... We shared the Calamari appetizer. I had the Chilean Sea Bass and Rudy had Filet medallions! So much flavor!!! Portions for us gave leftovers. We didn't want to be miserable and wanted to save room for dessert - Creme Brulee (me) and Carrot Cake (Rudy). We even took some dessert home! It was a wonderful evening at a Hideout 125! For us, Hideout 125 is one of our special places for special events!“

“The pho is delicious! If you like savory soups, definitely try it! The spring rolls are the best I've ever had- I order them at other restaurants, but they never measure up to Kim Vu's. The owner is so kind, and the whole family works so hard.“

“Stopped in from out of town with little time to spare before the Komets hockey game, almost didn’t go thinking there was no way we’d have time for a sit down restaurant on a Saturday night but called ahead about 15 minutes out. They got us right into a table, our server was with us right away. I never leave reviews but Tonya was so attentive and swift with our service that I felt obligated. In a world where it seems every time you go out and spend your hard earned money to enjoy a nice family meal you end up feeling like a burden on your server or put on the back burner, she was the exact opposite. You could feel that she was genuinely working to ensure that my family was well taken care of and had an excellent experience. We never had to wait for anything, she paid attention, anytime my wife or I thought of something we needed she would pop up and ask before I could even wave her over. (Yet she managed to not be that overeager, constantly asking you if you need anything to the point it becomes obnoxious server). She had several tables and I could see they were all receiving the same attention we were. There was no stopping to play on her phone or going out to take breaks, or talking with coworkers, we were a priority. Our drinks never ran dry and the timing was perfect. We got there and got sat right away, quickly got our drinks, salads immediately after, and by the time we were done with the salads and bread the food was there and PERFECT. The prime rib was amazing and the Ribeye was out of this world! Everything was cooked perfectly the first time out of the kitchen, our couple little requests were immediately addressed by Tonya and she returned quickly. She was great with our kids and even helped pack up our leftovers for the dog. We made it to the Colosseum with time to spare before the puck drop. 5 star food, accommodated quickly, and It was so refreshing to have a server that actually cared so much for her job. From the hostess, to the server, to the kitchen- 5 star service all the way around. We will go back whenever we’re in town.“

“Absolutely love the food. I’ll gladly drive an hour from Ohio to come here and eat some great vegan food. 11/10“

“I would recommend this place to everyone. It was superb food, a great cozy atmosphere, and the service was excellent. 5 out of 5 stars for sure!“

“Beautiful space, excellent staff and truly unique cuisine! We loved our lunch, especially the Bob Marley tacos! And very affordable for such a great menu and experience!“

“We celebrated our two year anniversary here and it was very intimate with rose pedals and everything. Our server made us feel special and we had a private romantic booth. The food was delicious.“

“I just tried Ziano’s for the first time ever Saturday and it’s sooooo good I’m blown away! I can’t believe I never heard of it before🤯 Great food, great portions, great prices. That’s what I’m talking about‼️🍝🥗🍤🍇🥖🍅🧄🧅 me and my husbands new favorite restaurant💗 we will bring the kiddos very soon. Rachel was an excellent server and brought our food fast and treated us so nicely.“

“I always enjoy variations of Sashimi. Service is always very good.“

“Literally the best curry in town - the masamam curry is my fave. The restaurant is adorable and the entire staff is always happy and friendly. Great food and great service!“

“We were here last night, and overall, it was a pretty solid visit. The place is visually impressive and family-friendly, serving up everything from hand-rolled sushi to dim sum and pan-Asian favorites like Mongolian Beef and Chang’s spicy chicken. Our server was friendly and the vibe was relaxed, which made for a comfortable dinner out. We had some classic dishes - Kung Pao Spicy Beef, Pork Dumplings and Egg Drop Soup. I also got myself a mojito. The presentation was pleasing, which added a nice touch.“

“My husband and I went to Bistro Nota a couple of weeks ago on a cold rainy Friday night. We went because one of the owners/chefs is Jake - formerly of Chop’s Wine Bar (when it was at it’s best). As is Jake’s forte, the the food was fabulous! We tried several different things. We ordered a bottle of the “house” red wine from their varied wine list. It was a great wine, far superior to what I expected from anyone’s house wine! The Pain et Fromage was delicious-Homemade Sliced Rosemary & Sea Salt Focaccia served with Roasted Pepper Cheese Dip. For dinner we tried their delicious Bistro Mac & Cheese - for an “a la carte” item it was a large portion. We ordered Low country Shrimp (GF) from the “small plates” portion of the menu - my husband doesn’t eat pork so they graciously omitted the bacon. We ordered Beef Teres Major entree -Petite Shoulder Tenderloin, Roasted Garlic Marinated, Potato Veloute, Sofrito with Grilled Focaccia. The staff is engaging, congenial & professional. The atmosphere is comfortable, urban, slightly industrial. We will go back to Bistro Nota again and again !!!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, wonderful staff, wonderful drinks. The very first time I went there on Saturday right after we ordered our first drink the electricity went out and half of downtown Ft. Wayne. The staff brought out a bunch of candles in the atmosphere, was so beautiful and unique“

“Great service, delicious food and gotta love their support of local artists!“

“Delish, creative - and the ONLY Mexican joint I know - anywhere - which lets you mix-and-match tacos! Also, the Oaxacan old fashioned is my favorite new cocktail.“

“Always pass by Courtney’s bakery but never stopped in until today! Very good , PRICED VERY WELL! Absolutely adorable building , will be back!“

“Great place for ice cream! We don't get over here often, but every visit has been fantastic! We came in tonight and, even though they were busy, the service was perfect, the girls working the counter were very cheerful and made the whole experience great! Huge variety of flavors and options, and every flavor we've tried has been outstanding!“

“So yummy. We came for Savor Ft. Wayne and the menu what great. Lovely flavor to everything we got. We will be back!“

“Friendly staff and good flavors“

“Today was my first time in, just found them via random Google search for breakfast locations near me, while I was visiting the Fort Wayne area- I'm all about supporting local small businesses, everywhere I go, especially when it comes to food... the food was so delicious and you could tell that it was cooked with purpose and soul, not just left under a heat lamp till someone ordered it, and so delicious... highly recommend the pancakes, they are super light but full of flavor! Personally I'm vegetarian, my friend is not, but we both ordered the breakfast sandwich special of the day, and I was able to substitute with impossible sausage, they also offer turkey sausage if you don't do pork. And the food isn't even the best part: it's what I found out from the owner while we were eating- it's what the cafe means to her! The owner is the sweetest, most genuine women you could ever meet. She explained that she's not exactly had a great history of making choices in life and been in some rough spots herself, and has overcome the odds that got stacked against her to get where she is today. Not only did that story touch my heart strings, but she then went on to say that also her staff is mostly those who that society mislabels and judges before knowing their stories, and she is willing to give them a place and chance do better for themselves. Unfortunately two of the people working that day didn't come in, but you would never know because she ran everything so smoothly!! If you're in need of breakfast or lunch in the Ft Wayne area, definitely stop in! You won't be disappointed! Once you become a regular they'll even greet you by name as we saw several times during our time there!“

“Our family loves having this icecream shop in our neighborhood! It is fun to walk down and have a special treat to close to home.“

“The NY STRIP WAS AMAZING!!“

“Fresh food, good portions, the menu has pretty healthy options too.
Boba drinks are a nice sweet treat as well, the matcha tea has a good flavor and is not too sweet or too bitter like a lot of other places I’ve tried, it’s just right.
Great place to come for lunch especially if you’re working on eating better but enjoy takeout 👍🏽“

“Everyone I know who has been to this fabulous restaurant over the years absolutely loves the food and the staff, the cocktails are out of this world. Today, home in Connecticut I was just picked up by an Uber driver, we were chatting and she said she just moved here from Fort Wayne to care for her parents, when I mentioned the restaurant she said she's been there many times, the food is fantastic, the interior is beautiful and the neighborhood is incredible!!! Easy to believe!!“

“firefly is such an incredible place. it feels safe. it feels like home. Great atmosphere, diverse crowd. staff are always welcoming. they always have great coffee. it's a wonderful place to go with yourself or friends.“

“A one-of-a-kind building and delicious dishes!“

“love love love!“

“food and drinks are delicious and our server was the best!! she had a ton of tables and still made sure we had a great experience!! I can't remember her name but she has bright pink hair :)“

“Caliente has evolved a lot over the past couple years. One thing that is consistent however , is the awesome food. Priced well and worth the money. Anytime I'm working in downtown fort Wayne , I make it a point to stop in for lunch at least once a week!“

“TLDR: Delicious food in a vintage, local place. Great for catching up with friends

FOOD
The duck ragoon appetizer or something I didn't know I needed until then. It comes piping hot, and totally worth burning your mouth for --please be careful! The inside is molten goodness with small bits of duck. It comes with a sweet chili dipping sauce and the outside has a thick crunch.

? For pizza, we ordered two 10-in regular crust pizzas to share. One was the Porky Pig and the other was the Bahn Mi. Porky Pig was our favorite of the two. The Bahn Mi did actually taste like the Vietnamese sandwich, but beware, there are little bits of jalapeno on it so there's a kick. The only issue was that the toppings on the pizzas had a hard time staying them as we had to tear the slices apart.

The next day though, cold leftovet pizza out of the fridge though was superb.??

I also got a cup of soup: Irish Stew. I felt like it might have been under seasoned.“

“The staff, food, atmosphere, and beer were amazing!“

“Great!!! Amazing site, good drinks“

“I eat here pretty regularly because all toppings are included in the price. Considering I order with no cheese, it's really nice they will pile as many toppings as possible on top. Other local places charge up to $2 (sometimes more) for just one added topping such as spinach. It's affordable and really good. Sometimes they burn it, and sometimes there's way too much dust on the bottom, but it's still 100% worth it.“

“the whole staff was awesome. our cook Mark was one of the nicest people I have met and is an awesome cook . thanks so much! 5 stars“

“A great place to have a nice relaxing meal, the food is always delicious, plus the servers are very friendly and attentive. And there’s always great 70s music playing.“

“Atmosphere was subdued and elegant. Music was at a nice level. Server was excellent and very friendly. Our experience was fantastic. Food was served quickly and correctly. Food was hot and delicious. Overall an excellent experience. We will continue to to eat at Baker Street. Great job!“

“We love this place! We aren't in New Haven nearly enough but when we are, we make a point to have a pizza night! We used the online order system- super easy to use! And the staff was so sweet to accommodate our late night order last night.“

“Ate at Bagger Dave's Tavern this weekend with our family. The service was great and the waitress went out of her way to please us. I highly recommend the veggie pizza with the pico it was amazing! We definitely will eat there again!“

“"My visit to Olive Garden was absolutely amazing! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a great dining experience.

The food was delicious and fresh, with generous portions. The breadsticks and salad were unlimited and so tasty! My main dish was perfectly cooked and full of flavor.

The service was top-notch—our server that was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience! 5/5 stars for great food, excellent service, and a wonderful ambiance. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Good place good love the atmosphere“

“The atmosphere was very pleasant and clean. It was a bit dark for lunch, just my opinion. The men's room was orderly and operational. The meal I had was ok. It was not exactly what I had ordered. The waitstaff was informed of the discrepancy, but at the end of the day, there was no discount from the bill or offer to remake the meal.
REVIEW UPDATE- The owner of the restaurant called me personally, and we had a fantastic conversation . Rob is truly passionate about his restaurant, and he took my feedback as an opportunity to reach out to a customer and truly make it right. My wife and I will definitely be going back, and I let the three stars stand for my calzone. However, SIX STARS FOR ROB.
UPDATE TWO - Rob sent us a gift certificate and told us to let his staff know when we came in to eat again, and he would stop by and chat with us. He stopped by and talked with us for about ten minutes just like he said he would. The moral of the story is he does what he says he will do, and he really cares about the people he serves. His sincerity is genuine, and it really shows through when you talk with him. We would all be even fatter and happier if there were more restaurant owners like him.“

“My husband and I used Pint & Slice's upstairs rental room for our wedding rehearsal dinner and we're so glad we did! We were able to book the space ahead of time and provide our order via email. The staff introduced themselves so we knew who our point of contact was and all the food was ready right on time. There was something everyone enjoyed (we even got a GF and vegan cheese pizza for those with dietary restrictions) and the pizza, salad, and drinks went quickly. The staff was super accommodating (even on a really busy day) and we were even able to add a couple pizzas last-minute when we realized how quickly our guests were smashing the ones we previously ordered. We will obviously keep stopping in for slices and pies, but would recommend anyone to book the room for your special event as well!“

“A large menu. The employees are friendly. The burgers are very tasty. Fries & onion rings are made to perfection.“

“As the great Nandor the relentless said: “Listen to me, little man. From Panera Bread you came, and to Panera Bread you shall return”.

Was I expecting the atmosphere and taste of a small French bakery hidden in the foot hills of the Grande Casse? No.

But is that what I got? Also no.

Was it suitable as a light meal while on a road trip to a place with better food? Debatable.

Will I return to this, or any, Panera Bread again? Likely yes, as all Americans must, at some point.“
