Well deserved rating. Was not expecting much from a lunch salad, but was surprised with my grilled chicken salad and my wifeâs grill shrimp salad. We were full but ask to see the dessert menu. Wow my wife loved her chocolate/hazelnut cake. My choice of pistachio cake was outstanding
2. Memo's Place

Locals will know this as the former Stewarts, and boy, no dog from Stewarts holds a candle to the great food from Memo's. Front and center is the barbecue ribs, chicken and brisket, seasoned on their own, they're great, but Memo's does a homemade bbq sauce that's out of this world. if you're feeling adventurous, mix it with the serious zing of the chipolte sauce. The sides are all to die for. My fav is the coleslaw, which is odd because usually I avoid, it but this like everything in the place is homemade and delicious. I've also have the fries, beans, rice, and the salad -all of which are standouts over your typical restaurant fare.Can we talk about the salads? I cringe every time I go into a typical diner and face a side salad of iceberg sitting in a puddle of water. Memo's salads are all fantastic, made from mixed greens with enough of the other accompaniments. It is absolutely okay to go into this bbq joint and order a one of the entree salads. The shell on the taco salad is fried to order and I've had it more than once.I can also highly recommend the burgers, paninis and cheese steaks. Memo knows how to cook and there isn't anything on that menu that he doesn't do well. The apninis and round roll sandwiches often feature the bbq items, but don't pass up the Cuban panini if you're feeling inclined. If you stop by on a cold day, the soups are homemade and delicious. My mom stopped by all winter to buy the awesome potato soup. And if that isn't enough, the appetizer menu is also worth your time. I've had the fried empanadas, bacon cheese fries and the grilled garlic shrimp and would recommend them all.The seating area is small but plenty of space for a family meal. The place is also very clean. That being said, they know how to pack up take out. I can't count the number of times we've ordered the bbq family meals with rice and coleslaw.

We had a great time getting our fill of sangria, beef and seafood. The Flan was excellent.Pricey, but huge portions. The pitcher of sangria was $31 but it is very tasty.I thought the seafood was a better choice. One of us had the paella and the other a jumbo shrimp dish. Both were very generous with lots of lobster and jumbo shrimp, and the yellow rice that both were cooked in was extremely flavorful and moist.The 2 guys both had the filet mignon. It was cooked as ordered and it was huge. We each ate about half. It was very good, and moist, however it wasnât a knockout. I guess for $51 bucks I expected it to be a home run. It wasnât. The table over from us had the prime rib. It looked amazing. Next time!

We understand that NYE is particularly busy and it won't be an identical experience to a regular night. However, while the food was delicious as always, we felt rushed and our waitress was downright obnoxious. We usually make 5 PM reservations because it's a small place and you can barely hear others at your table when it is full. We made 5:30 reservations and certainly by the time we left at 7, it was packed and extremely loud. That is always to be expected on weekend evenings and holidays here so that's fine. Just be sure you're fine with loud, somewhat crowded restaurants (for example, there were people sitting within 2 feet of me on either side of the wall bench). They left the outside door open for some reason so anytime someone came in through the second door which usually buffers the cold, a freezing wind rushed through the establishment, especially because there is nowhere to stand at the entrance besides in the doorway if you are more than 2 people.We had a nice table and were seated almost immediately. The waitress who came over was some combination of overly-familiar and rude, however. We had a couple of questions about the menu and at the second question, she said she was going to add a tip to the bill for each question. I assume this was meant to be a joke but it came off sounding like she was annoyed and using "humor" to veil it. The NYE menu is the full menu but it's 3 items for $45 - however, it's more complex than that because the meats and cheeses count as one item for 3 of them, as do the spreads, the empanadas are two for one, etc. Our questions were entirely valid. She also interrupted us to ask if we were vegetarian after we ordered four of our items, then started basically making fun of veg*n diets, though again, using her idea of "humor" which was still quite rude. Hilariously, after several times saying "just kidding" after saying she was going to add a tip to the bill - she DID add a tip to the bill! 20% mandatory tip which was not mentioned anywhere though the owner (?) had called the night before to outline prices and details of the menu in detail. I found that an interesting omission. We always tip 20%+ but I feel like she knew she was being obnoxious and would potentially not get her desired tip so it got tacked on. Who knows. Oh, and she also scoffed towards the beginning of the meal when we said we weren't drinking. Sorry, one of us is sober - what business is that of yours? Ugh, anyway, that is the only negative experience I've ever had with waitstaff here. We otherwise adore this place and the food is to die for. One gripe, as I mentioned, was how rushed we felt. We were required to order all 6 items at once (to rush us out, I'm sure) and indeed, they pretty much all came out quickly. At one point, we had FOUR items on our tiny table! I had to tell the woman bringing them out to wait a bit. Of course, they just kept the ready items in the back longer so the last two came out cold and lukewarm respectively. Sigh. There was also this mute young man who hovered creepily behind us several times, waiting to snatch up plates he considered empty. On more than one occasion, he snatched plates that we were NOT done with. Maybe ask if the customer is done before you take plates away? Dessert was to die for as usual. Again, no complaints about the actual food which is some of the best I've ever had (gnocchi, eggplant, empanadas, spreads, cheese board, onion rings). I won't let this one rushed, rude experience affect my opinion of this establishment as a whole! But this one experience was not ideal and I'm not sure if the food would be enough to make me come back if this had been my first/only experience. Owner/manager (whoever she is) is pleasant to customers but always seems a bit snippy with staff.
