The food and the service are great. I really enjoy the combination burrito. The salsas are also very good and full of flavor.

Food: love that the menu is simple and straight to the point. Almost wanted to try multiple food…read moreitem but went with the Prawn Linguine and husband went with the roasted chicken. Price is decent for the quality of food. Pasta is made fresh! We also tried the Burrata appetizer, bread was delicious, and flavor was there. Service: awesome, our waiter made some recommendations such as the rigatoni bolognese. I'll have to get that next time. Ambiance: cozy, clean and intimate. Perfect for date night. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Mushrooms - not a fan. The in-house made tagliatelle was loaded with them and in a lemon cream…read moresauce. Not sure what kind of magic they used in that sauce because those pinche mushrooms didn't stand a chance - they, and the entire dish we're pretty phenomenal: rich and creamy sauce, tender, lemony shrooms, and perfect tagliatelle. Also had thei spicy salami pizza. I don't know where to start as it was friggin stupid delicious, a work of art really. To start, it's easily one of the best crusts I've had hands down: crunchy yet soft - I was amazed as i couldn't figure out how they did that without a wood oven. The crust had a great flavor too. Now for their toppings: spicy salami, hot honey, caramelized onion puree and ricotta. Man, this was such a great and unforgettable pizza. Want a pizza you'll always remember, get this one! Garlic knots - such a incredibly, tasty starter. Subtle garlic flavor on that butter bread, man, what a treat. And their marinara sauce was so good. We downed all this with a bottle of wine. We didn't fonish the bottle vefore our meal so we went inside to the bar and finished it there. We discovered they made carajillo and had one of those AND ordered tiramisu so the carajillo wouldn't be lonely. Both were pretty fantastic. The staff was super helpful and polite. They had really good insights into the dishes and ingredients as well as the wine list. Turns out, this was one of the best dinners I've had this year.

We were seated right away but it was about 15 mins before someone came to our table to greet us and provide water. Once we ordered the waiter was very attentive. She provided us a palette cleanser (the spoons) which tasted like a lemon spice. It was really nice but had a kick at the end. We also ordered the probiotic appetizer which was gut healthy fermented veg. I wasn't a big fan of it, but my friend loved it. We also ordered the cilantro coconut guacamole and corn tortillas. This was very interesting! I've never had fruit in my guacamole. I loved it. And the corn tortillas were fresh and homemade. Next, I ordered a saffron date golden milk. They offer this hot or chilled. I got the chilled version. This is to die for if I could drink this every day I would. It is very comforting and as you drinking it, you get this like warmth all over. The spices are very balanced and it comes with oat milk so it's creamy. For the meal I order the akaushi beef tacos. Which was Barbacoa over a cashew cream trust with fermented, cabbage, and cilantro. It also comes with a side of salsa. These tacos were very filling and delicious. The flavors pair up so well. I did add some of the gauc to it for a more creamer taste. Overall, the food experience was a 10 out of 10. I am gluten-free and the whole restaurant is 100% gluten-free! They have vegetarian options and from what I could see also dairy free. If you're trying to expand your taste buds, this is definitely a place to try. The only thing I didn't like was the chairs lol the edge of it was so uncomfortable because it was putting pressure into my legs my friend said the same thing with her chair.

Thx for the great meal, and thx Luke not for the good customer service... But the memory.

My husband made our dinner reservation six weeks ago, for a post-graduation family celebration, and…read morehe chose perfectly! Our twelve guests ranged in age from 14-79 years, and everyone had a wonderful experience. We began with waters for the table, soft drinks, and cocktails/mocktails (Man Walks into a Bar, Amba No. 5, Don Alberto, Green Shug Collins). Due to our large party, we had booked a chef's tasting experience, which was spectacular. The appetizers were plentiful, flavorful, and unique. Our server, Anissa, did a wonderful job of explaining each dish-- its components, highlights, even suggesting that after finishing the beef dumplings, we stir the oil and yogurt together for an amazing pita dipping sauce. Our meal included four meats-- actually five, considering an off menu chef's creation for our pescatarian guest. It was such an immersive experience, I never took out my phone to capture photos of the food (or our group, sadly). Three desserts topped off the evening. When (not if) we return, we'll certainly request Anissa again. She made the evening a complete delight, even bringing out celebratory candles for our honored guests.

Finally made it to Ladino. The food was good overall and the flavors were solid across everything…read morewe tried. The hummus with the fresh pita was probably my favorite part of the meal, and the grilled skewers had a really nice char without being dry. The Turkish coffee was also strong and really good. Service was quick and servers paid attention to detail. Great place for date night or hanging out with friends. Plenty of great food options to choose from. Glad I tried it because the quality was amazing!

Cullum's Attagirl didn't just hit--it crushed…read more Tucked just off S St Mary's, this spot nails that country-store nostalgia with a clean, modern kitchen vibe. Super casual, no pretentiousness just serious flavor. Let's talk wings... because yeah, this is where your wing obsession levels up. These aren't your typical pieces the drum and wing come together, and they're loaded. Pro tip: cap it at 3 pairs unless you're ready for a full-on food coma. Price might feel mid-to-high, but one bite and you'll forget you even cared. Deviled eggs? Just order them. One or two... and you'll get it. And the J.A.C. Burger messy, bold, and absolutely worth it. The kind of burger you don't even try to keep clean. Shoutout to Irissa for being an elite host dialed in recommendations both visits. That kind of consistency matters. Yeah... we're already planning round three.

Let's take a minute to just talk about these sweet potato fries. They were so well seasoned and…read moreeverything you could want in fries. The burger was also amazing, but the fries stole the show. We sat outside, and it was so nice. There is plenty of parking. Overall, a great experience, and I can't wait to go back.

A true champion family gem or just another place that didn't quite win the race? Here's a closer…read morelook. Parking We visited The Cove for the first time after hearing a lot about it, and admittedly, our first impression was a bit uncertain. The location and shared space with a rundown car wash and laundromat gave off a slightly sketchy, almost "Knockturn Alley" vibe. That said, once we found the dirt parking lot in the back (which isn't immediately obvious), there was actually plenty of space, much more accommodating than the front. Seating and Playground The outdoor dining area is large and offers plenty of self-seating options. It has a relaxed, country style atmosphere that's great for enjoying a meal outside. Just keep an eye on your food, as birds are definitely part of the experience. The playground was in good condition, and the kids were clearly having a great time, which is a big plus for families. Ordering The indoor ordering area is...unique. It somehow felt both clean and not at the same time, with a noticeable odor upon entering. The menu offers a solid variety of options, which is a positive. However, the drink station looked dated, and the ice machine had visible mildew, which was off-putting. I skipped the ice for that reason, though the soda itself tasted fine. The Food Overall, the food was just okay, nothing particularly memorable or worth going out of your way for. The roasted salsa stood out as the highlight, with great flavor and spice, but the portion felt small for the price. It came in a tiny ramekin alongside a large serving of chips, so it ran out quickly. The Good-a burger was well-cooked and enjoyable, but not something I'd crave again. The shrimp and fish tacos were comparable to the burger, with the fish taco being the better of the two. The shrimp taco had a strong earthy flavor, almost like eating a garden, which may appeal to some but wasn't a favorite. The fish taco was more balanced. Surprisingly, the fries were the standout side, outperforming both the tacos and the burger. Final Thoughts In the end, the kids had a great time, which is really what a place like this is about. The food is decent, but not a major draw on its own. If you're okay with the salsa portion for the price, it's worth trying. While we likely won't return, mainly due to the distance and lack of standout dishes, it's still a solid option if you're nearby and looking for a family friendly spot where kids can play and everyone can grab a casual meal. Not quite a champion, but definitely not out of the race either.
