Brunch is by far the most delicious in the valley and a little slept on imo. Their breakfast flatbreads are cooked to perfection and frenxh toast is soo delicious. Lunch and dinner is wonderful also-- love their pizzas and salads! OH and the best cake ever, seriously don't pass it up... ANY flavor is amazing and you can tell it's made from scratch and not too sweet. Staff is always so welcoming and nice! We love sitting on the patio for the vibes and to see beautiful downtown. I would for sure recommend making reservations because this spot fills up fast!

This time, I had the Alfredo di Buffala, and it was amazing -- creamy, well-seasoned, and the added chicken breast was the perfect touch. We also ordered the Gambas al Ajillo, which had incredible flavor with just the right amount of kick and acidity. Miguel helped us, and he's always super friendly and attentive. Overall, it was such a nice lunch experience. We'll definitely keep coming back!

I ordered the braised short ribs, which were phenomenal. tender, richly flavored, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The veggies on the side were spot on, cooked perfectly, not too soft or too firm, just the right balance that let their natural flavors shine through. My guest had the steak, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. What impressed us most was that the waiter even asked us to cut into it right away to ensure it was exactly how we wanted, so we could keep it hot and enjoy it at its best. We also tried their special cocktail, the Blue Fog, a wild creation topped with a bubble filled with smoke. It turned heads all around us; everyone was asking what it was. It didn't just look incredible,it tasted amazing, too. Throughout the meal, our waiter made sure everything was to our liking and even asked for our honest opinions on anything they could improve, which showed they really care about their guests' experiences. This place set the bar high, and I'll be back every time I'm in town. Highly recommended!

I'd give Sebby's a 3.5, rounding up to a 4! I had dinner around 8/9pm on Valentine's Day so the…read moremenu I got was a little more pared down than their usual. What worked: -- servers and staff were all very kind -- there's decent menu variety and something for everyone to enjoy -- the music and vibe inside was a nice mix of busy yet intimate, it's a great place for a date or fancy night out What didn't work: -- I think this is likely due to it being Valentines Day, but the service was pretty spotty. Servers almost gave us someone else's food twice and it took a while for our food to get to our table. -- my dish (shrimp primavera) could have had a little more going for it! The pasta and veggies could have been a little more seasoned (and I would have loved more veggies), and the shrimp was waaaaay too salty, it was difficult to eat it all. It definitely wasn't a bad dish but a few small tweaks could have made it really wonderful Overall, I'd come here again! I think this might have just been an off night and I'd love to return to try some of their other dishes. The environment was a pleasant one to be in and I enjoyed the meal (and, of course, the company).

The wine selection was really nice also and the price for a bottle is the same as 3 glasses so it is more practical to buy a bottle. Ordered the artichoke dip to stay and it's absolutely fantastic! Warm cheese and garlic bread to dip into it! I ordered the strings trio and it was definitely a large portion but it was worth the price because it's basically 2 meals! The Alfredo sauce was so creamy and the stuffed shells were delicious. The chicken Parmesan was seasoned perfectly and crispy! Great service, though I cannot remember the waitress name. It's small so it was a little noisy but I don't think it's enough to make the night not enjoyable! I definitely recommend it!

A Local Gem for Pizza Lovers…read more If you are looking for great pizza locally, The Planing Mill is absolutely it. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take their craft seriously. Between the freshly made dough and the perfect char from the wood-fired grill, the taste is consistently top-tier. I am particularly picky about texture; I love my pies to be flavorful but with enough substance that they don't crumble or flop over. There's nothing worse than a pizza that is too wet or undercooked, but The Mill nails the bake every time. The Highlights: * The Food: We went for The Kitchen Sink for our date night pie, and as always, it didn't disappoint. It's loaded with toppings but maintains that perfect structural integrity. * The Drinks: They have a solid tap list to complement the meal. I washed my slices down with a crisp sour, while my wife opted for a cider. * The Vibe: It's the perfect spot for a casual yet high-quality meal. The night started and ended perfectly. It is always a pleasure to visit a place that stays so consistent with its quality. Whether it's a date night or just a craving for a real wood-fired crust, this is the spot!

The food was absolutely amazing! No complaints about the food whatsoever!…read more BUT the service... is... weird, unfriendly and confusing. When we walked in I smiled at the hostess and was greeted with RBF lol not really a big deal, I understand not everyone is friendly. We were quickly seated with menus. Our server came over to take our drink and food order. We were able to do a half and half pizza which I appreciated. Our food arrived in a timely manner and everything, down to the marinara sauce was delicious. While we watched other customers be given drink refills, even though the soda machine is out where the tables are, so we were confused on if we were to get our own refills or our server would do that for us. I could have asked what the protocol was but felt really stupid doing so when our server was the only one not getting drink refills for her tables. Our server may not have refilled our soda but we watched her refill her soda from the machine and head to the back haha When we were ready to leave we were again very confused on what the protocol was because it took a very long time for our server to come to our table with our bill, I wasn't sure if I needed to go to the register was and pay there or if our server would bring the POS to our table like other servers were doing to their tables. We were unsure if we needed to get our own box or if our waitress would bring what we needed. We also didn't see to-go containers for our leftover salad, so I asked the waitress for a container for that and asked if we just grab a pizza box or if she gets it for us. She said she could get it for us and seemed fine to do so, but again I felt dumb because I watched her walk over and grab the pizza box and a to-go container for the salad that was right next to it. I feel like there should maybe be more communication like "go ahead and help yourself to soda or I'd be happy to refill your drinks for you" and "I can get you a to-go box if any are needed", you know something along those lines. Even a sign above the soda machine and to-go containers would work so staff doesn't have to tell each customer. We were kindly acknowledged by one of the other servers as we were walking out which was nice. The restaurant is comfortable with large tables with a bar that is in the corner so you don't have to listen to loud drunk people.

I recently tried the arancini and the house-made rigatoni with chicken cutlet at La Piazza, and…read moreboth dishes were phenomenal. The arancini were perfectly crispy on the outside with a warm, creamy center. They were topped generously with fresh parmesan and paired with a rich pink sauce that really elevated the flavor--definitely a standout appetizer. The rigatoni with chicken cutlet was just as impressive. The pasta tasted fresh and perfectly cooked, and the chicken cutlet was tender, crispy, and full of flavor. The pink sauce (labeled as spicy vodka) was absolutely delicious--more savory and creamy than spicy, which made it super enjoyable and well-balanced. Overall, everything was cooked beautifully and full of flavor. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend trying both dishes.

I wish I had read El J.'s note before coming here on Mother's Day. La Piazza added a 20% surcharge…read moreto the bill, which felt like a blatant cash grab rather than a reasonable holiday policy. If a restaurant is going to add that kind of charge, it should be clearly disclosed upfront before customers order or make reservations. Unfortunately, the experience did not come close to justifying the extra cost. The steaks were badly overcooked, the food was mediocre at best, and there were large flies throughout the restaurant, which made the meal even more unpleasant. I understand that Mother's Day is a busy day for restaurants, but being busy does not give a business a free pass to surprise customers with excessive charges or deliver poor food and service. The 20% surcharge felt unfair and left a very bad impression. I willnot return, and I would strongly recommend that customers check their bill carefully before paying.

I really wanted to love the meal at BrewBakers this past Friday, but unfortunately, the kitchen…read moremissed the mark on a classic. I ordered the French Dip, which should be a slam dunk for a pub-style spot, but it lacked the basic execution that makes that sandwich great. The Main Event: French Dip * The Bread: This was the biggest disappointment. It wasn't toasted, grilled, or even brushed with a little butter. It felt like an afterthought, leaving the texture of the sandwich completely uninspired. * The Meat: The tri-tip was sliced thin and seemed okay, though it had that "pre-cooked this morning" vibe rather than being fresh off the block. * The Au Jus: A French Dip lives and dies by the dip. Unfortunately, this was essentially bland beef broth--watery and lacking any deep, salty, or beefy complexity. The Silver Lining The meal wasn't a total wash, thanks to the sides. The fries arrived piping hot, crispy, and seasoned well. Paired with a side of their ranch, they were easily the best part of the plate. Final Verdict: If you're going for the atmosphere and a cold beer, it's a win. But if you're craving a high-quality sandwich, you might want to look elsewhere until they step up their bread game.

For brunch, I ordered the steak and potatoes, and it was sooo good. Everything was cooked really well and had great flavor, definitely felt like a more upscale brunch compared to your typical spots. One of my favorite parts though is the pastries they bring out -- such a nice touch and always super good. I also tried their cappuccino and it was just okay, nothing amazing but not bad either. The service here is always amazing, which honestly makes such a difference. I think the brunch is better than dinner, oops hot take! But everyone is super attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels classy but still comfortable. Definitely a solid spot for a nicer brunch or dinner, I'll for sure keep coming back.
