“NOCO has quickly become our go-to date night spot. The food is absolutely delicious, the drinks are crafted perfectly, and the whole experience just feels special every time. We also want to highlight Livia, the bartender, who has taken such great care of us during our last two visits while sitting at the bar. She’s warm, knowledgeable, and her recommendations were spot-on. She genuinely made our time there even better. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“Sunday afternoon and we stopped in for a bite. Our server Charlie was very busy but did an awesome job. The food was really good. My dish pasta arrived hot and perfectly cooked. My wife's steak was tender and well seasoned. Very good experience“

“We had an amazing night celebrating my wife’s surprise 60th birthday celebration. Not only was the food, service and atmosphere amazing…..we could not have pulled this off without Elsa. She was there every step of the way and so pleasant. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was flawless! Elsa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You made us feel like family.“

“It's just an event space. Perfect for meetings and medium sized events. There was food served but it was catered by someone other then owners.

Parking: Location was difficult to find parking and the way the parking lot is very difficult to maneuver“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“

“Vincent and his team are top notch. Could not have asked for a better experience! The food was incredible and my guests were excited and super pleased. The interactions from Vincent and his staff made the party rock. Highly recommend for your next gathering, you won't be disappointed.“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“Our meal at Chatter's was great! The service was top-notch, thanks to Amanda. The food was served quickly and the presentation was great. Amanda really impressed us with her customer service skills! Chatter's is lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.“

“Had breakfast with a friend. I can’t say enough about the quality of the food. I will definitely return.“

“A small venue but the food was delicious. Tasty grilled cheese sandwiches, good burgers, and they serve many kinds of crepes for desert.“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Wonderful place !!! Nyasia the best barmaid in the place !!!!“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“Another first timer... Took my family for dinner. Food was good, service was excellent. Wish there a bit more seafood options. Environment was good. School names was a good touch to feel a neighborhood atmosphere. Reservation was not needed when we went there. Not sure about Sat Sunday...“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“Great restaurant ‼️💕🦋💕Beautifully decorated and the food was delicious ❤️“

“I absolutely love the attention to detail, the care and love of food that these chefs prepare. Love the surprise of not knowing what you get. They work with dietary restrictions.“

“We love Brooke! Me and my friends come to this Applebee’s at least once a week, and she’s hands down one of the main reasons we keep coming back. Always friendly, on top of everything, and remembers our usuals like we’re regulars at a hometown diner. Brooke’s vibe is just unmatched—genuine, patient, and quick with a laugh. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your server, your night’s already a win. Give that girl a raise!!“

“Endless shrimp 🦐 🍤 $20 yum 😋“

“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“Oh my goodness, my family went to Billie’s for Easter Dinner last night! The food was out of this world. Everything we got was spot on from the appetizers to the dessert! The service was amazing, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg to enjoy a night out. I’m looking forward to going back when the weather is a bit warmer and eating on their back deck. I consider myself a bit of a foodie and this place was top-notch! Definitely give it a try. Oh, and it wasn’t packed like every other establishment town Port!“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“Fantastic place, friendly staff, magnificent food, plenty of tv’s for sport events.“

“The Food is so so good. Always hot and fresh. I havt tried anything on the menu I didnt love. But the customer service is what makes them set the bar so high for others. Im hurt and cant walk. The grubhub guy forgot my kids food and one of the employees drove it to my house bc she felt so bad. They are the best!“

“We are very pleased with the professional way Catering Manager Lisa Morgan packaged our catered order. Ms. Morgan made sure we had everything needed to make our celebration a success. The food was delicious!“

“Went there for the first time. We made reservations and were promptly seated by friendly and polite staff. In spite of being quite crowded and busy, i was surprised it was noticeably quieter than other places we frequent. An enjoyable experience with a wide range of food and prices for every budget. Definitely will add to our “ go to” list. Highly recommend reservations as it is quite popular.“
