Quick and delicious!! Ordered at the kiosks up front. I had the chicken tempura combo, which came with chicken, some lettuce, miso soup, and rice. The chicken was delicious and crispy! Very generous portion size as well.

I also ordered the dashi negi oroshi takoyaki, which was just okay. It came with soup, which made the takoyakis soggy at the bottom. Not the biggest fan because of the texture.

I had the wonderful opportunity to dine at Osteria Via Stato for a business dinner. The servers were extremely attentive, accommodative, and lovely despite the massive party.

The food was pretty solid! Firstly, the bread was phenomenal. It tasted fresh and NOT stale whatsoever. The accompanying garlic oil and cheese were also super delicious.

The main standouts were the crispy potatoes and the cheese cake. The potatoes were light, yet crispy, and the cheese cake had a refined flavor from the ricotta.

On the other hand - I wasn’t the biggest fan of the fillet mignon. It was a little dry for my liking, and I didn’t feel like the arugula salad was doing any favors. I felt like the dish needed a sauce to round out the whole plate.

Overall, if you are looking for a place to accommodate a large party, Osteria Via Stato is definitely worth looking into!

Solid coffee shop! There is a good amount of space to work/study (outlets too) or socialize. The inside is modern looking but with cool, unique touches to it.

I got the Carmanilla latte. The latte art was very nice! The drink had good flavor, but was just a tad too milky for me. I wish the coffee flavor was just a smidge bolder.

The branding and overall aesthetic of Blue Bottle Coffee stood out to me amongst other coffee chains. After passing by a location in FiDi, I just knew I had to stop by!

The minimalist, neutral design with a pop of blue and clean lines give the place a modern and upscale feel, which I absolutely loved.

I ordered the Three Africas Cold Brew. The barista asked if I wanted milk with my order. I said yes, which in hindsight, was a mistake on my end. I think I would've enjoyed my cup a lot more had I ordered just the cold brew by itself, or an actual latte instead, because the milk and Cold Brew combination just tasted like a very weak and milky latte. Despite the mishap, it was still an OK cup of coffee.

One thing that stood out to me though was the simple syrup that was available on the counter. I love that Blue Bottle offers this so you can adjust the sweetness to your preferred level. It might seem like a small touch, but I've seen plenty other shops charge extra for additional syrup.

Overall, while the coffee may not have blown me away, I still enjoyed my visit to Blue Bottle coffee. The sleek and modern aesthetic of the cafe makes it a chill place to hang out. However, I don't recall seeing much space if you want to work or study.

Tried Little Greek for the first time through catering. We had the gyro and chicken wraps. We all thought that the food was really delicious. The pita was puffy and yummy and was the perfect vehicle for all the ingredients wrapped inside. Everything was packed neatly. Would definitely be down to get Little Greek for catering again.
