Katana Teppanyaki & Sushi
📍 Address: 3345 Lenox Rd NE, Atlanta
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)
I was surprised to learn this business has been around for some years. Because I stay in the area, and pass by houston, and mariott on a daily basis and always assumed this was a closed establishment or about to open. There are hardly ever any cars parked. Their location is great, so I am surprised why it always seems deserted when in comparison, houston's next door is always at full capacity. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised when a friend took me out to dinner. I enjoyed the vibe, the service was great and food was pretty good. I will be going back for sushi! It is a must visit and could turn out being a fav.
Andina Restaurant
📍 Address: 1314 NW Glisan St, Portland
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
Andina has it going on. From the food, to the drinks, to the service and colorful ambiance, This place does the sences good. The food and drinks are truely amazing as you can read from all other reviews but my reason for 5 stars:The service. The service is amazing- I never feel like I'm an inconvience to any of the staff there. I simply sit down and listen to the server explain the specials for the day and when I ask for some further explaination on any menu item, I'm always given perfect description of what the dish offers. At Andina I stay glued to my seat, and I just let the servers do what they are hired to do, serve. I truely do feel like a guest here and weather I stay just for one cocktail or sit through a full meal, I never feel rushed, and that my friend is a true dinning experience. & the environment is so welcoming, come in for a fancy dressed up date, or come in straight off Bolt Bus, it doesn't matter... there is no code to dine at Andina, come for cocktail hour, come to dine with family, just come hungry, and ready to relax as you should.
Broder Café
📍 Address: 2508 SE Clinton St, Portland
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
We waited for 2 hours, 1.5 at the bar next door. 30 minutes to get our first cocktail from the bar when only 2 drink orders were in front on us. The bartender informed us: "I don't even work here." How hard is it to find experienced bar staff in Portland? When we finally got next door to order our mouths were watering with anticipation. Our group ordered a few varieties of hash as well as some of the dumpling type fritters. The dumplings were vastly undercooked, no crispy exterior and pure uncooked dough in the center. Very disappointing. The trout and beef hashes were both virtually devoid of flavor, with the beef hash having a rancid taste, and the trout being almost entirely lacking; 1 sliver of trout!? When our service staff paid a visit and we expressed our concern we were rebuked gruffly by his assertion: "I'm sorry your palette doesn't agree with our food." What sort of response is that? No offer to fix or assist, just the check and a smug attitude. An overall disappointing experience that pales in comparison to my own kitchen.

I think people come here for the fun, not for the food.... way to sweet and overpriced
The Berry Tavern
📍 Address: 2 High St, Danvers
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐ (3)
Brand new. Must still be working out the kinks. Waiting almost 10 minutes at the bar. Waiting another 5-7 minutes staring at my draft beer waiting for me where it was poured. Heard others complain as well around me. I want Danvers to have another successful restaurant so I will wait and try one more time. Owners engage or you will be another Danvers failure. Good luck.

We stopped in for lobster and clam chowder and the food was awesome. Great menu and extensive beer options. We sat at the bar and the bartenders kept us laughing. Great experience.
