Smallman Galley is a cool concept with rotating chefs. Had a great meal, though one dish was just okay. Fun way to try new food ideas. | 4 |
Love the vibe at Federal Galley. The outdoor seating is a huge plus. The food from the different kitchens is usually very good. Solid choice. | 4 |
The Church Brew Works has a really unique setting. The beer is good and the pierogi pizza is a must-try. Food is solid, if not spectacular. | 4 |

Went to Mad Mex for a burrito. It was decent and the portion was big, but nothing special. The margaritas are the main draw. It's fine. | 3 |
The Cheesecake Factory has a massive menu, which is a bit overwhelming. The food was okay, pretty much what you'd expect. Service was slow. | 3 |
Tried a sandwich from Peppi's. It was a good, solid sandwich but I wasn't blown away. The bread was a little soggy. It filled me up. | 3 |
The Yard has interesting grilled cheese, but it felt a bit greasy. The tomato soup was good. A decent spot for a casual bite and beer. | 3 |
Dinner at The Capital Grille was standard steakhouse fare. The steak was cooked correctly but lacked seasoning. For the price, I expected more. | 3 |
Burgatory is fine. The custom burger concept is neat, but the patty itself was just average. The shakes are better than the burgers. | 3 |

It's a very popular spot, so we had high hopes. Unfortunately, the food was just average. Nothing was bad, but nothing stood out either. | 3 |
The pizza was decent, but the crust was a bit doughy for my taste. Toppings were sparse. It's an okay option if you're in the neighborhood. | 3 |
We tried the brunch buffet. There were a lot of options, but most of them seemed like they had been sitting out for a while. Quantity over quality. | 3 |
The coffee was good, but the pastry I ordered was stale. I might go back for the drinks but would skip the food next time. A mixed bag. | 3 |
The ambiance is better than the food. It's a cool-looking place for a drink, but I wouldn't recommend it for a full dinner. Just average. | 3 |
Our server seemed overwhelmed and forgot part of our order. The food we did get was okay, but the experience was frustrating. Just average. | 3 |
The food was incredibly salty. I could barely finish my meal. The chef must have had an off night. I don't think I would return again. | 2 |
Waited almost an hour for our food, and the restaurant wasn't even full. The meal itself was cold when it finally arrived. Disappointing. | 2 |
My burger was overcooked and dry. The fries were limp and greasy. Not a good experience, especially for what they charge for a simple meal. | 2 |
The place looked dirty. Our table was sticky and there were crumbs on the seat. It made me question the kitchen's cleanliness. Poor. | 2 |
The chicken in my salad was tough and rubbery. Seemed like it was precooked and reheated. The rest of the salad was just lettuce. Bad. | 2 |

Found a hair in my food. The manager apologized, but it completely ruined my appetite. There's no excuse for that. A very bad experience. | 2 |
Overpriced for what you get. The portions are tiny and the food is mediocre at best. You're paying for the location, not for quality food. | 2 |
My dish was swimming in oil. It was so greasy that it was hard to eat. I felt sick afterward. I would not recommend this place to anyone. | 2 |
The sushi didn't taste fresh at all. The fish had a strange, fishy smell to it. I was worried I might get sick. I will not be going back. | 2 |
The whole place smelled like stale beer and cleaning supplies. It was very off-putting. The food itself was bland and forgettable. Just bad. | 2 |
They automatically added a 20% tip for our party of two, which seemed excessive for the poor service we received. I felt ripped off here. | 2 |
The decor is extremely dated and the seats are uncomfortable. The food was just as uninspired. The whole place needs a major overhaul. | 2 |
An absolutely terrible experience. The food was inedible and the service was somehow even worse. I would give it zero stars if I could. | 1 |
This was, without a doubt, the worst meal I've ever paid for. The chicken was raw in the middle. A health hazard. Avoid this place! | 1 |

I've had better food from a gas station. Everything tasted like it came from a freezer and was microwaved. Just disgusting. Avoid at all costs. | 1 |
Our reservation was not honored and we had to wait 90 minutes for a table. No apology was offered. The staff was dismissive and rude. | 1 |
The place reeked of cigarette smoke, even though it's supposed to be non-smoking. The food tasted like an ashtray. A truly awful place. | 1 |
The pasta was a mushy, overcooked mess. The sauce tasted like it came from a can. It's an insult to Italian food. I can't believe it. | 1 |
The definition of a tourist trap. Terrible, overpriced food and a staff that doesn't care. They just want your money. Never again. | 1 |
Our car was broken into in their 'secure' parking lot and the restaurant staff refused to help or even call the police. An absolute nightmare. | 1 |
The calamari was so rubbery it was like chewing on a tire. A truly disgusting texture. We sent it back and left immediately after that. | 1 |
The server spilled a full tray of drinks on my friend and didn't even offer a real apology or to pay for dry cleaning. Unbelievably bad. | 1 |
Do not go here. This was the single worst dining experience of my life. I am still shocked at how bad it was on every single level. Awful. | 1 |
