The meatball sub was delicious with plenty of meatballs and extra sauce on the side. We also tried an Italian sub which was flavorful and fresh.

The owner explained that his brother was in the military and that they decided not to offer any discounts, including military discounts, because they want to be fair to everyone. Very philosophical. Everyone fights for our country in their own way, I suppose, including when choosing pasta. The staff and owner joked with us a few times while we were there, and we want to share in the laughter. A kind thank you for your service is free and always truly appreciated especially for those who have sacrificed something more than just their time in the service.

The issue I had with other things, I wanted to buy like their garlic sauce and babaghanoush was that they don't have expiration dates on them, so wasn't sure how long I could keep them before they go bad. They also no longer sell cooked falafel and the frozen falafel they sell were not great.

Recommend the Byblos labne as the others tend to have pectin, which makes the labne taste watered down. Also, attached to the Wooden Bakery, so lots of good fresh pitas available. Large, small, regular, and whole wheat pitas. If you time it correctly, you can even get a pita while it is still hot. Not too many fruits and vegetables when I went but it had just opened, so I'm hopeful.

You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, and it's easy to see why Venchi has built such a strong reputation. Liliana was incredibly kind and helpful, offering plenty of samples so I could find the perfect combination. The gelato is clearly made with care, and the overall experience feels like a little slice of Italy. Definitely a spot worth savoring and coming back to.

I wanted some ice cream or gelato after dinner but before seeing a movie, and friend said this spot…read morealways had a line. I had actually been to a couple of Venchi locations in airports for chocolate, but hadn't realize they served gelato and had never had theirs. It was a very strange experience, though. We walk up to the ice cream counter to look at the flavors and they say we have to stand behind the register. We inquire as to whether we can taste flavors and they say yes, but only after you've purchased your ice cream. The issue with that is how do I know if I want one or two flavors until after I've tasted the gelato? I assume kids were coming in and tasting a bunch without buying anything, but then ask for a deposit or something. It doesn't make any sense to not be able to look at or taste the flavors before you have to order. I only tasted two flavors because they were making me so uncomfortable, and selected the second one I tasted--a dark chocolate flavor that wasn't honestly pretty darn excellent. So 5 stars for the actual taste (and their chocolates) and minus a star for the service.

While everything looked beautiful, it honestly didn't feel worth the price. The tea itself was decent, nothing too memorable, but still enjoyable. I haven't tried their lokma yet, but it looks amazing and is probably what I'd go back for. The staff were very sweet and welcoming, which made the experience better overall. The space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine in. Parking is also a bit limited, so it's something to keep in mind before going.

The place is really just carry-out, they have fresh made, hot pastys to go, which they can sell, as well as frozen pastys to bring home. They also have a large selection of snacks directly from England. Service was helpful, the guy working the counter was descriptive and helped me with how the various pastys were made. Also, when walking in the amazing smells of all the workers in the back making food smelled incredible! I opted for some of nearly all their offerings of pastys. A couple of days later I made the chicken masala for lunch. I used their directions for baking, not the microwaving to get it ready to eat. They were spot on and the pasty came our perfectly warmed up and ready to eat. The crust was outstanding! None of it was dry or tastless, the whole thing was flaky, perfect, buttery, and tasty! The filling was very nice, though it had no flavors that resembled Indian or "masala" to me, so I'm not sure what they consider masala, but that's not a bad thing as the filling tasted great! I'm looking forward to making and eating all the rest, I'm sure they'll be great too!

Chicken Masala: decent flavor, probably my favorite out of all the oasties I got here. Moroccan lamb: decent flavor also. Chicken cordon bleu: not sure If I got a bad one but yea, hard pass. Sausage rolls: decent flavor. Price point is ok as the oasties were quite filled. It's just that a lot of them just didn't have that taste that I gotta come back for more taste. It was just.... Eh.

Vienna Vintner is a cute European looking line standing building across from big shopping plazas. It's built like a tavern with a partial loft/second floor upstairs with seating. The space is divided into a "tasting room" on the right and a wine store on the left. They apparently have wine tastings on the regular (I've been missing out!) Overall a really friendly place that's relaxed and pleasant. We were given a tour and helped immediately. We ended up winning an award for one of our wine choices, so these recommendations really hit the mark! Will definitely be back. I was also surprised by how affordable these wines are. I wasn't expecting to find any wines under $25 but ended up seeing quite a few in the $15 range. They also gave us a generous discount.
