★★★★★ 5.0 Never trust a Bunny · Jan 2026

It all started with the hostess! She was amazing. Very detailed..and personable. Her presence at the front door was so inviting! Atmosphere = calming-homelike... Food = scrumptious (seafood pasta special) Drinks= knockout (spicy paloma) It's an experience you have to try.

Saw this place and popped in cause I’m always gonna be curious about a bakery. Was not expecting it to be tiny store front and I was kinda taken aback about how messy the displays were covered in plastic wrap. So I’m not sure if everything was baked fresh this day. Service was fine. I made a panic purchase and grabbed a blueberry oatmeal cookie and it was one of the best oatmeal cookies I’ve had. I wished I had grabbed. Couple.

I went there to see a musician playing for dinner time...and though they had no patio seating available- they made a makeshift area for me to sit to watch him sing.

Really well prepared meal well worth the price. We visited on a very busy Tuesday fall night for an early dinner.

The dish was very good, with bold favors from lots of Parmesan and garlic. Maybe the chef is showing a theme here, although it may be a little too much bold for some. We also had the Cajun spiced Tacos with chicken that were nicely cooked and v

Slates has good food, and our meal was no exception. But something was wrong with either the kitchen or service because the time between our salads and our main course was about 30 minutes. I was only halfway through my dish and the server was clearing plates and bringing coffee. We definitely felt rushed. For starters we had the crab cakes and aioli which were great, although slightly dry. The bread is awesome and it’s a generous portion. The seafood risotto is very tasty although this one was swimming in olive oil. The flatiron steak was delicious- great sauce and perfectly cooked. The lobster roll is also a great choice. The sides of mashed potatoes and roasted carrots are awesome. We finished with a M&Ms cookie and a lemon bar. Both were just okay- seems like they weren’t super fres
