Franchise toasted is my favorite
Salmon + Rice Bowl was incredible and all the other food was excellent too
We grabbed a table at Olive et Gourmando on a quiet Tuesday evening and the duck confit sandwich was honestly worth the wait. The staff were warm without hovering, even checking in to recommend the soup of the day when we couldn't decide. It's a tiny spot so the atmosphere felt cozy and a little loud in the best way, with everyone clearly enjoying their meal. We left already planning a return trip for brunch with the rest of our friend group.
