    Clams & Nduja
    Paulina D.

    Our local spot! Great for a bite before Tuesday night movie night at the next door Cinelux. Tonight we dined in early on a Sunday night holiday weekend and enjoyed a nice meal watching the Olympics from a table by the bar. Great date night atmosphere. Service was attentive and timely and friendly. Got two drinks and the burger and clams. We enjoyed both! Some menu items are better than others, but we know what we like at this point. Glad this place is here!

    The receipt does not have the exact name. Sorry.

    My friend & I were looking for a place with excellent flavor with a great location, so we decide to come here once again. We loved the decor of the restaurant & knew we would be back for the ambiance, flavor, & location. We both agreed on so many items & a lot of the items that stood out to us were already sold out, sadly! So we went with the Peach & Burrata that was flight, refreshing, & full of flavor. The fish dish was absolutely phenomenal & could've ordered a whole new entrée after devouring the first one, made to perfection! The Justin Cab was an excellent paring with the appz & entree.... mmmm... hmmm... mmmm... GOOD. Cannot wait to go back & would love to have Nolan H. as our serve again, he was attentive, excellent on the decision making, & kind above all.

    Stop by and checked out their new food and drink menu. My experience this time around was great and the shrimp bao bubs are a must. It comes with two buns and a side of fermented/viniger veggies. Staff are super friendly as usually and we did come in a Friday night before our movie. I would recommend calling and do a reservation as it can be packed. Parking is easy as the parking lot is huge and they are right by the movie theater. Though my first experience here was not that great, it has improved so much since then. Not to mentioned the restaurant is cute and cozy.

    Inconspicuous spot in a shopping center with a completely different vibe once you walk in. Very modern and inviting with great service. Really liked the menu, offered a nice variety and did I mention the full bar. It could be 3 or 4 stars for you, but it was a 5 star for us. We were greeted with a smile, our questions about the cocktails and entrees were answered with thought and clarity, and everything was excellent. The chicken and croffle was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, the flank steak was slightly overdone, but still excellent. Service with a smile, water glasses filled, great cocktails and delicious food; 5 stars in my book. They also have happy our Monday & Thursday-Saturday 8-9 pm and Sunday 7-8 pm, but was told looking at a 4-6 pm which is more my speed. Also liked the peanut butter bananas foster bread, though I didn't taste peanut butter. However, enjoyed the sea salt and ice cream accompaniment. Not my fav is tip options of 20, 22, 25%. Let's get real and return to 15, 18, 20%.

    Bao buns with pork belly and kimchi. There should be 4 but we ate two before the photo. Awesome!

    Once again, East End hits it out of the park . This is a fun place to have dinner either before a show or just a Friday night out. We stopped in for an easy dinner before movie on a Friday night and we're seated promptly my very pleasant hostess. Water is on the table minutes later and we began to peruse the menu. Nolan, our wait person for the meal, guided us through the menu choices. Even though the menu is not expensive, everything is delightfully and well prepared. We shared almost everything... The house salad with succulent, grilled chicken. Special note that the salad ingredients were exceptionally fresh. Then the fried chicken bow buns, and I actually started with the gazpacho sans chili oil. Every bite said have some more! Small but good wine, selection, and notable choices for beer. A few comments... Service here is impeccable. The ingredients are always fresh. It's a fun atmosphere and can be really crowded on some nights with the line out the door. I don't believe they take reservations for parties under six. The management is very family oriented to not only their staff, but also their customers. The only thing I would change is put the pork belly back in the bao buns, please. That's just my personal preference. We look forward to coming back again to explore their other menu choices. Thanks again for a fun evening.

    Good food. The ambience is upbeat and service is friendly. They have rotating selections so, things change from season to season. They experiment but come up with good outcomes.

    Egg Sandwich
    Brian L.

    I have been here several times with my family for weekend brunch and it doesn't disappoint! The menu is limited for brunch but what's on the menu is solid. I always get the Egg Sandwich which is yummy! It comes with a brioche bun, two sausage patties, scramble eggs, cheese, and arugula. The service was great minus the person who brought us waters and put the glasses down with his fingers on the rim of the glasses like a claw machine at an arcade. The restaurant is long and narrow with two levels of seating. If you come for brunch I promise you won't regret it!

    BBQ chicken pizza
    Cathy P.

    Ambience- the location is tucked away in the corner of a parking lot mall, so you really need to know where you're going. But once you step inside, you're welcomed with a warm smile and greeted by a sleek, modern vibe. Service- I would rank high: prompt and professional, with a friendly and attentive staff that made the experience seamless. Food- I recommend the shrimp bao buns- packed with flavor, cooked a little differently than our last visit but still tasty. My husband went with a double cheeseburger and said it was one of the better ones he had in a while. I ordered the barbecue chicken pizza which I wouldn't recommend the heavy pour of barbecue sauce, overpower the dish and completely drowned the pizza. We enjoy the restaurant and will be back

    Chilaquiles. Very yummy!
    Roo K.

    Awesome place! Came here for my sister's birthday. We enjoyed a couple of their salads, some burgers, bao buns, and chilaquiles. Everything was delicious. The service was fantastic! Folks genuinely seemed so nice and helpful. Looking forward to coming back.

    Margherita pizza and burger
    Maricarmen C.

    Stopped by for an early dinner, unfortunately this place does not have happy hour but still has a decently sized menu! Although it was a weekday, it was still pretty busy. We were seated quickly and given water, but it did take a very long time for our server to check in and take our drink/ food order. Once we finally ordered, it took some time for our food to come to the table. I did notice that some of the guests around us who got there after, got their food first. We tried their margherita pizza and burger. Both were delicious! The Parmesan cheese for the pizza was soo good too. There is plenty of parking and it is located in a shopping center with a theatre nearby. Besides the lengthy wait, everything else was fine and I loved the food!

    This is our second time here. We didn't have a good experience a year ago so we decided to eat dinner before the movie. Food is okay, it very expensive for the quality of food. Service is good but then again, appetizer for $18? and Small portion also. That's how much you pay for a 4 star restaurants. Drinks is also over price. $16-18 for cocktails.should be $13 for this kind of location and quality of food.

Brightly painted in beachy colors with beautiful enormous rattan lighting, and a clean and friendly atmosphere.

We got to meet super charming Brittany, the owner, and ordered a fried chicken sandwich/fries which was crunchy and yummy and the pile of fries were crispy which we love. Also had buffalo chicken wings - they were so perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. They truly were the best I've had in the area. BUT I cannot say enough how incredibly perfect the Martini that Brittany made me was - A Vodka martini with jalapeño-infused olive juice with two blue-cheese stuffed olives served in an icy fogged martini glass. I think it was called the Spicy Christina. Refreshing and a sipping pleasure. We'll definitely be back for all the above and to try their Waffle-Chicken sandwich. We also got to hang with our favorite local bartender, Christa! She'll make you feel at home with her chatty ways, bar games and good pours!!!!
