I went here the other night for a Fresno Beer Runners meet up. I was hungry after my run so I got an appetizer. I landed on their Eggplant, tomato dish drizzled with vinaigrette and topped with arugula. There were mozzarella balls that came on the side. It was really good. It looked beautiful too. The bartenders and servers were really nice. Good service. Their patio is nice, especially on warm nights. Def a place to go back to.

What the heck...I've been coming to this place since 2000. I'm going to give it a 4 because I'm guessing the gross/burnt Apps we had was a fluke. Always a cool relaxed vibe. Of course I'll be back! Its more about the atmosphere...hoping they don't start to let that slip too.

Pretty good place with great drinks . Sit out side . It was ants on the table but food was really good and come out hot. I would definitely have a better sign outside. Easy to drive pass.

Phenomenal food and service...we have always wondered but never wandered and time well it tick-tocks away. This is an absolutely fabulous experience, the ambience is relaxing with a touch of old world flair. The food is plentiful and savory the wine list pairs perfectly with the menu. As you can tell from the picture i made it halfway through the plate (just to be sure) prior to posting. Highly recommend

Grilled Eggplant and Vine Ripe Tomato Pave

There's a lot to like about Veni Vidi Vici, but there's also some things that need improvement. The food was pretty great; while the menu is fairly small, everything we tried was really yummy, with the spaghetti being particularly good. The drinks are also good, especially the Singapore sling (something that's actually hard to find, but this place does it right). Everyone else in our party also liked their food too. Finally, it was great that the patio was open. The real downside to Veni Vidi Vici is the service. First of all, it was super slow; it took forever for someone to come over to help us, a long time to get our drinks, and then even longer to put our food order in...we wanted to order earlier, but it was more than an hour after sitting down that we were able to order dinner. Our mains actually came out fairly fast after we finally ordered, but it was still almost 1:30 after sitting down. Finally, the server completely forgot what our order was when we tried to pay, and it took forever and multiple "confirmations" for them to get a correct check to us. After all of that, they had the nerve to put a 20% service charge on the bill (we did have a large group, but with that service, 20% was not appropriate). While I really like the food here, I'm not so sure I would come back because of how lousy the service was.

Andouille Sausage with Portobello Mushroom & Mascarpone Cheese Ravioli

Set in the heart of Tower District, I am used to coming here for drinks so it was fun to come for dinner for my friend's birthday. It's a low lit industrialish vibe inside and the bartender/server was attentive. Their menu offerings are clearly thought out and higher end. I got a sausage ravioli that was outstanding. The sauce was rich and the dish filled me up easily with eating only half of it. I would love to go back and try a couple other things, everything people got looked so good!

Chicken, mashed, potatoes and asparagus

Came for my friends birthday dinner. Our servers were very attentive and kind. They kept checking on us. I ordered the chicken mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was delicious!

This is the most amazing little gem! I found it randomly as I was traveling home from Yosemite…read more The menu looked amazing on line, and it was as great as it sounded. The service was welcoming and engaging. I was by myself, and I'm 70 years old. I sat at the bar, and it was cozy and a nice spot. Everyone treated me great! The food was delicious! I usually can't eat a whole prix fixe menu, but I was hungry since I didn't eat all day, so it was wonderful. I did take a lot of extras home. Definitely give this place a try. Worth the expense, especially if you are tired of the burger, Caesar salad fare. Wines were delicious too, and everyone is very knowledgeable.

Many high end restaurants serve their dishes with a side of snobbery, but not Trelio!…read more You can expect a relaxed, casually sophisticated atmosphere with genuinely warm and attentive servers along with superlative dishes, crafted with care. Both Trevor (the sommelier) and Kelsey go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, and they happily explain all of the dishes you can't pronounce. Our celebratory birthday dinner last night was amazing, from the individual Enzo olive oil focaccia rounds to the spectacular pistachio Basque cheesecake with coconut pandam whipped cream There were many tastebud tickling and delectable combinations of spices and flavors, bursting through at different moments to brighten your culinary experience, and my first course selection of the watermelon, pickled beets, cucumber, goat cheese cream, pistachio dukkah, with cilantro lime vinaigrette was a perfect example of that. The trumpet shaped pasta (trombe) sweet corn, and Gouda was a surprisingly delightful sweet/spicy dish and the risotto of mung beans, kale, beech mushrooms, shrimp and exquisitely slender crisps of onion (the delicious is in the details!) dish was tantalizingly and especially memorable. There was so much attention paid to the little details that make meals exceptional. The palate cleansing watermelon sorbet surprise served in the middle of their prix fixe menu was perfect. Last night was one of the finest of the many times we've been there throughout the years. Trelio is for you if you enjoy amazingly delicious and creative dishes served with down to earth graciousness and elegance. Thanks again to Trevor for making us feel so special on my husband's birthday.

It was a DREAM. As…read moresomeone who loves to cook, experiences like SKADI are what I dream about. If you love food, appreciate incredible ingredients, and enjoy truly special dining experiences, you have to visit SKADI. From the moment you walk in, the entire experience is top tier. The restaurant is intimate, beautifully decorated with Norwegian and Baltic art, and the open kitchen lets you watch Chef Ian and his sous chef masterfully execute dish after dish. It's calm, composed, and honestly just fascinating to watch. The staff is exceptionally well trained, but what impressed me most is that if they don't know an answer, Chef Ian is happy to come to your table himself. He spent time talking with us, answering questions, and making sure we were enjoying everything. He even told us he doesn't have a single wine on the list that he doesn't personally love. Every course was beautifully prepared and perfectly portioned so we could enjoy each one without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. My husband and I genuinely loved every single thing we ate. If you're anywhere near Mammoth Lakes, make a reservation. (No kids under 10, but I promise it's worth getting a sitter.) This is one of those meals you'll be talking about long after it's over.

Good sized wine list and a few good single glasses of wine. Modern inside with an open kitchen to finish dishes.

Overall a great restaurant to try if you are in the area!

It's definitely time to update this review!…read more It's safe to say that we love this place. We have had our share of to-go dishes that haven't really delivered. After leaving some feedback through the mobile app, we haven't had any issues since then. The service is always considerate and top-notch, although I will say sometimes to-go really feels like a drive-through. Just getting you in and out. Which I can respect because they are so busy. Hopefully with the opening of their new location, everyone will go over there lol. The one thing that I will say is such a bummer, especially on the nicer evenings, is that they do not have a dog friendly patio. Even though they have a gorgeous outdoor space, we have to gravitate to places like Annesso's, Mad Duck, and other local favorites to bring our pup with us. I respect their decision, but it's just such a bummer. Absolutely in love with the cashew cauliflower, the brie and loom bread, and the salmon. Servings are plentiful enough where I can easily get another meal out of it. So happy for this place growing and even expanding with their new coffee shop location.

When we arrived the place was packed and we were told there were no tables available all evening. We had to wait for seating at the bar. We were told that all the people at the full bar had been there for hours and so hopefully someone would leave so we could sit. We waited for about 20 minutes and were about to leave, but a few people finally got up to leave. We were thrilled and hungry! The place has an old fashioned, classy feel to it. We were not dressed for a nice place, but no one made us feel like we were out of place and the staff was so good to us all evening. Our server, Lauren, was excellent and we received the best service I've had in a long time. We started with the Beet Salad which was refreshing, crisp and very tasty. We ordered the Lobster Mac and cheese, which is very flavorful but I wish it had more lobster on it. I ordered the prime rib, which came came with a nice, grilled sear on it. The meat was perfectly medium rare and great seasoning on it. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy, while the asparagus with the lemon brown butter sauce provided a good balance to the dish. My friend ordered the filet mignon, which I didn't try but he loved it. I did get to try the crab Wellington on top, which was basically a really good crab cake. For dessert, we had the key lime cheesecake which is light and fluffy. I'm not sure I get the key lime flavor so much, but it's citrusy. Also, it's delicious. Great experience here and highly recommended!

It turned out to be such an enjoyable spot to dine, and we really appreciated their effort. Our server, Olive, was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail of her service was handled beautifully. A big thank you to Olive for making our evening so enjoyable! As for the food, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Our steak had a wonderful smoky flavor from being cooked over an open flame, although we weren't particularly impressed with the meat itself. The salad and potatoes, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, the chocolate dessert served in a glass was disappointing. I understand the idea of balancing chocolate with salt and pistachios to create a more complex flavor profile, but this dessert was surprisingly not sweet at all. It genuinely tasted like salty chocolate, which I found unpleasant. Definitely not something we enjoyed. One other thing stood out to us from a hospitality perspective. We were seated directly across from the pizza chef and the chef working the open-fire grill, yet neither acknowledged us throughout the evening. Not even a smile, eye contact, or a simple "How's the food?" I completely understand that chefs are focused on cooking and that guest interaction isn't necessarily their responsibility. However, when you're working in an open kitchen with guests sitting right in front of you, a little acknowledgment goes a long way. What made it particularly noticeable was that they were chatting with each other throughout the evening while seemingly ignoring the guests just a few feet away. It felt rather unwelcoming, especially in an otherwise excellent hospitality environment. Overall, we loved the atmosphere, the hostesses were wonderful, Olive provided outstanding service, and most of the food was delicious. A little more guest engagement from the open-kitchen team would make the experience even better.

My wife and I had an amazing experience last night- from the appetizer to our main dishes. Everything was executed just perfectly- I wouldn't change a thing with the food. We started with the arancini,which are deep fried risotto balls with mozzarella and pesto embedded in. These little delights are a must try as they are the perfect blend of creamy , salty and crunchy. For our entrees, we ordered the Margherita pizza and rigatoni with sausage. First of all, the wood fired pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of sweetness from the pizza sauce and crunch factor from the dough. The homemade rigatoni pasta was to die for with the sausage ragu working its magic including a subtle spice added throughout to give it that nice kick of flavor. Well done team Annex! As a Sicilian who grew up on the real stuff, I can tell you that this place hits every mark. 5 stars from me and I can't wait to come back! P.S This isn't fast food- expect to wait a bit. Trust me it will be worth the wait! And oh, the dining room is freezing. Bring a coat , and eat fast so your pizza doesn't get cold.
