The Bad Apple has truly turned bad. This used to be my go-to burger spot and overnight their food…read morequality seemed to go down. The unfortunate thing is that when you have expensive food, like The Bad Apple does, the expectation of consistently good food is higher and they haven't been able to deliver. The last few times I've had a burger from here I've been left underwhelmed. My go-to burger is the Da Bears Burger which runs $18 when you order from GrubHub. The last two times I've had the burger (once at the restaurant and once at home) the smoked brisket has been dry. On my last occasion the bottom half of the bun was burnt. It was barely edible without drowning it in sauce. I've reached the point that the price outweighs the food quality. We have too many delicious burger spots that are priced similarly or less to keep feeling like I'm wasting money,

Third time at cobblestone and this time was for Valentine's Day. We wanted someplace cozy and cute…read moreand Cobblestone set the bar high with a candlelit dinner. They had a terrific Valentine's Day dinner $95 for two people which included a small amuse-bouche each, an appetizer to share, individual entrees, and a dessert to share. We loved the crispy broccolini and were fighting over it. The entrees were huge portions and packed with flavor. I consider myself a scallop connoisseur and in all the restaurants we've ever been in, these scallops were cooked beautifully. They had a perfect sear to them on the outside but cooked perfectly on the inside as well, 10/10 no notes this is the scallop I will compare all future scallops to. And the duck confit, oh my...we also fought over this dish which paired incredibly well with beans to our surprise. Chocolate cake had a beautiful strawberry sauce on the bottom. Everything was incredible including the service. Cobblestone remains our favorite in the area and is loved by all the locals. Thank you for a perfect Valentine's Day dinner.

Went here for NYE. I was really disappointed by the food. It has good reviews and a friend had been…read moreand liked it. I got the pre fixe menu. The pickled deviled eggs were tasty. It was not an "Amuse bouche" which is a single bite item, it was much more but I'm not complaining about that! The appetizer was grilled octopus over sweet potato mash. I learned that day that sweet and grilled octopus is not a good mix. It was nearly gross. I picked the octopus up and tried to brush off as much of the sweet potatoes and possible. The octopus tasted good but was over cooked. My main was the branzino. It was charred to a crisp and full of bones. It did not taste good and was extremely difficult to eat. I did not taste the German chocolate cake for dessert but was told it was dry and people barely touched it. My husband and others are our table got short rib goulash, which was served like a steak with gravy. It wasn't tender like short rib should be. He said the flavor was good at least. Someone got the fish and chips and said it was flavorless. Someone else got the burger and said it was also charred and over cooked. Over all, pretty disappointed. Cute place with decent service. Hopefully this was just an off night.

This is a smaller location and you can sit and eat inside but it is along the window. So if you are eating with a large group, you can eat outside (weather permitting). We ate inside. The service was great! The person taking our order was very nice and helpful. The food came out in a timely fashion. We forgot to ask to remove the mayo on our burger (egg allergy) and they quickly remade one with no questions asked which was very nice. The food was delicious as normal and I've mentioned this before, the best fries. I got the veggie burger and it was spot on. Small Cheval will slays be one of my favs. The shake was good, I got the shake off the month (espresso). It was thick. My only complain is the straw (it kept cracking). Overall, great food, great service and even better company!!! Thanks!

There is also a nicely sized back room as well. There are plenty of TVs for sports if you want to catch a game. There are a good number of beer and cocktail options, which I was happy about. One area I think could be improved is the number of food options. Right now, the options are somewhat limited, especially if you want vegetarian options. Overall, this place is off to a good start and I'm excited to see what's to come!

Don't go...yet. Arriba needs time to figure itself out…read more Truthfully, we wanted to love Arriba so badly because we really like Farm Bar downstairs, so even when we saw that all the reviews were awful, we still wanted to make the call for ourselves. It has so much potential with a breezy look and feel and great service, but the drinks just miss the mark on everything from taste to presentation and value. My husband and I stopped by on a Saturday evening (there are no reservations, just first come first serve) and were seated right away. We ordered a raspberry margarita and the drunken cafe de olla. Both drinks tasted unbalanced, and I couldn't finish mine. We decided not to order food because we were feeling skeptical at that point and the drinks were quite expensive for the quality. I hope that Arriba will take the time to reimagine and their drinks menu and bites that are offered - otherwise Arriba is on the skip list, which is unfortunate.
