Fantastic ramen. Decent sushi. Family friendly. Great service and fantastic vibe. Check out the hand painted murals inside and don't forget about the bathrooms. I hear first time visitors tend to take pictures of them (in a nice way... not a weird way).

Great Italian tapas that are so big I'm surprised they are called tapas. Fantastic Sunday and Saturday brunch specials. Noisy and fun vibe. A relatively small space and fills up early. They have outdoor seating.
