Softub: Their pizza is made with only with the freshest ingredients; you'll taste the difference. Their rustic presentation is playful, and pleasing to the eyes.
Emily Hayes: I had lunch there last week. Ambience, loved it. Cozy and rustic. Service, great. Food, out of this world. We split the squash blossoms, Brussels and lasagne. I'm still dreaming about them!!!
Bop Design: Any Orrin Swift wine they have by the bottle - The Prisoner, Papillon, Saldo or Palermo. Pair that with the Forage Mushroom pizza and Caprese Salad. Delicious!
Bobby Myers: Amazing craft beer selection with arguable the best prices in the city. Also a great bodega specializing in healthy food, wine, and spirits. Very helpful and friendly staff.
Jennifer Juckett: Small store w Excellent wine, craft beer, healthy and gourmet snacks. Make it a pit stop on way home from office! No TJ/WF/grocery madness !
Jennifer Van Grove: This downtown bodega has a surprising number of vegan treats!

Phil Ohme: Amazing food, especially the all-beef meatballs and fresh-made pasta.
Ruslan Fazlyev: Squid pasta is amazing, mussels are great, so is tomato/burrata bruschetta. Tried the calamari, would not recommend them. Great place overall
Juan Lalinde: Amazing service! Super helpful with kids and the food is super tasty! I had the bolognese and it was scrumptious
Susan King: Bisque is thin but rich & yummy; Spare ribs are awesome! Pork chops were huge serving; crime bulee & cobbler were both fabulous
Kate McCormley: If you're watching your carbs, ask for something "Pablo Style". My turkey burger was to die for!! (Yes I got fries. Don't judge me) :)
Kate McCormley: Great place to stop for a power lunch. Service and food are excellent, and there are free newspapers for your reading pleasure. Love Dobsons!

Kendra Norwood: Really romantic place, i like the music and their wine selection. Perfect place.
Lisa Merzwski: Monday nights there is live jazz (Duke's People). Jazz + $20 bottle of wine = happiness!!
Serge Chable: Thinking of enjoying a bottle of Puligny-Montrachet from Jomain, anyone care to join me?
Janine Ramos: Head straight upstairs. Burgers are amazing, sides are rustic. Order a drink and mozzarella bricks or wings while you wait. Atmosphere is awesome! Sit at the bar with friends or make some new ones :)
Adrian Lau: I haven't ordered yet and I love this place. The sizeable selection of beers come in tall glasses. Get the create-your-own burgers, which have a million possibilities. Considerate and friendly service
Dan Taylor: The burgers are made with the ingredients cooked into the meat...enough said, it's delicious!

Erin Pawlowski: Fantastic food, reasonable prices, great service & a beautiful back patio to make out date night complete. Especially loved my husband's tortellini and shrimp special. Can't wait to go back!
Monique P.: $1 beers and $6 pizzas every Monday! Best service and cozy environment.
Ocean: If you're a dude watch your knees. Tables are small and chances are you will buck them unintentionally.
