“First time at Zesti, for my birthday and we will be back as a regular in the rotation for sure. The menu is diverse and nicely different than other restaurants. A great choice of pastas, salads, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, pizza and deserts. Full choice of beverages with a great wine list and a surprisingly inexpensive evening! Also, Brandon was our server and did a great job explaining dishes and taking care of us in a very casual, friendly way. Thanks Chef Feker and crew!“

“Everything here is always so good.

Chicken pot pie: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Veal meatballs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are some of the best meatballs I've ever had

Shortrib tacos: ⭐⭐ These were fine I guess, but the meat was flavorless and the sauce was light on flavor or heat. The excess of pickled onions couldn't even overcome the lack of flavor. I just mixed the meat in with the meatballs

Bacon hot honey bread: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Drinks: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Had our team dinner here for 17 people on 8/28/25. Per my request they seated us in the back so we'd have a little privacy.
Everyone said the food, drinks and deserts were fantastic. Special shout out to Shannon M. for the great service.“

“Juan was the best bartender ever!! Tatum was our server and she was also amazing. They not only provide excellent service but are so engaging and friendly, and went above and beyond to make my friends 25th the best day!“

“Hot House is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that this place isn’t just about the food or the ambiance—it’s about an experience that’s truly elevated by their exceptional hospitality. The staff goes above and beyond in every possible way. I was blown away by how accommodating they were, anticipating my needs before I even had to ask. It’s rare to find a team so in sync, and it speaks volumes about the strong culture they’ve cultivated here. Every interaction, no matter how small, was met with genuine warmth and attentiveness. They’re not just serving customers; they’re creating lasting, meaningful connections. It’s refreshing to see a business so tuned in to the needs of its guests. Clearly, Hot House knows the importance of putting people first, and it shows in every detail. The standard they set for hospitality should be the benchmark for the industry. An absolute must-visit!“

“Let’s start with 5 stars***** We visited Tally’s Tap on Wednesday October 8, 2025. This was our first visit. We spoke to a man on the way in, and he recommended the BBQ Ribs which was the ‘Homemade Dinner’ special - his name was Stan (a once a week regular). Inside we were promptly seated, and it was busy, with a full parking lot. Mike was our great waiter, and we also met Chad (another super friendly and knowledgeable waiter). I ordered a full rack of ribs, with Mac and cheese, fresh green beans, and corn bread for $24 (I think). Stan and Chad were right - the ribs were super tender, great BBQ sauce. I shared them with my husband and daughter and we all felt they were absolutely outstanding. Corn bread was very tasty as was the Mac and cheese. My husband ordered a wrap with grilled portobello, and a cilantro sauce - he said it was good. My daughter ordered a salad, with fried chicken sliced on top, and substituted the menu dressing for the green goddess. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was a lovely first visit, and we will be back! Thanks to the employees, and owners for making this such a great experience. By the way - I am very picky. I know good food because I worked in some great restaurants on the East Coast. It is tough to have me really love a meal - but you guys made that happen!“

“Liena was an amazing server and gave genuine reviews of our questions regarding multiple menu items. She had an awesome energy from start to finish and was super accommodating to all our request. Would definitely request her as our server on our next visit.“

“Wonderful brunch experience with friends-food was delicious“

“Amazing hidden gem. The building has to be one of the oldest in the area. Food is soup, salads, and sandwiches, but all unique and very tasty. Only difficulty is the hours, they are only open until 2pm. Highly recommend checking out this quaint little local restaurant.“

“Very nice family restaurant with very friendly staff!! The food came quickly and was delicious! Definitely would recommend to everyone“

“Tried the BLVD Royale Burger, and it was perfect! Juicy, flavorful patty cooked just right, with a soft yet sturdy bun. The frizzled onions added a great crunch, and everything was well-balanced. Had some Micheladas, and they were spot on. Great service, perfect food temperature—definitely coming back!“

“Happy Hour at Bar Louie was great! Good specials on appetizers and drinks. I tried 2 different specialty martinis. Excellent! Friendly bartenders too. It was a business happy hour and I will definitely go back! David was very professional, friendly and made great recommendations.“

“What a great place to hold a party! Thank you for making my brother T-Bone’s birthday special. Great food , amazing service and the perfect space!“

“Overall a very good experience. Food was tasty and arrived hot. Portion of food was good. Service speed was very good. Our server (named Ella) was excellent and very friendly - great personality for this kind of work. Only critique might be the stark light colors on the walls. Acceptable but maybe a tiny bit too bright?“
