Parking is a mess here. I swear, I circled around for so long and they don’t start valeting til 5 PM. That’s my excuse for the 3 stars.

Other than that, their french onion soup is pretty damn good. So is their french dip and salads. Everything is pretty healthy here, but good.

Every time I go to Laguna Beach, I crave food from this restaurant. The view is amazing… regardless if you are, you always feel like you’re on vacation whenever you eat here because of the view of the beach.

The service is great and everything on the menu is good.

seriously, the pizza is so freakin gooood. i went during the day when it wasn’t crowded at all, but i think i’m going to try the garden city location in long island.

pizza isn’t your typical slice. first, you can’t order by the slice anyway and the brooklyn location only takes cash. the pizza has real mozzarella cheese on it. yum yum.

the decor/ambiance is nice… portions are not that big, but what do u expect from a japanese restaurant. the one in tribeca is really nice. good for big groups / special occasions.

the waitors actually help you order, so if you look at the menu and don’t know what you want … your waitor will take care of you.

fresh fish and chips. also serves beer too.

downside is limited seating. but it’s a hole in the wall place and i did see a park down the street. the bench outside seats 4 and the seating inside is at max 6? so be prepared to know that.

glorified white castles. i got the 2 pop burgers and when i looked in the box i felt like i was at a upscale fast food joint. perfect round burgers. a lil pricey for my taste, but in the back there’s a lounge area and a bar… the decor in the front is what drew me here in the first place.

good place to go for a casual, but non-scrubby experience. :)

i was attracted to this place cuz the sopranos and a scene from a beautiful mind was filmed here… but I think i overhyped it to myself.

pros – ambiance, helpful waitors, good date spot

cons – portions, only takes cash

definitely order the avocado brushetta – an off menu item. and ask about their specials cuz their menu selection isnt’ that big.
