Ginger is a great spot, and the bar side has an especially hip atmosphere with great lighting and comfortable booth seating. This time I ordered one of my favorites - the tofu and quinoa salad with extra dressing on the side, because that dressing is the bomb. It's the perfect meal. My partner got the lettuce wraps, which also come with a delicious sauce. He ordered a vodka with their scratch ginger ale while I had a nice pinot noir. Great service, ambience and excellent food. Ginger always delivers.

We had the most delightful evening in Ashley's care. Delicious food, delicious beer, and warm and friendly service. We were also happy to engage with a nearby diner, a local couple who are welcoming. We felt like we were in a local spot. Well done!

We ordered the artichoke dip, a full order of drunken clams and sausages, and Alaskan scallops in a curry sauce and rice. All 3 dishes were rich but delicious. The portions were huge, enough to feed at least 3 to 4 people. Service was very good and the servers were friendly and attentive.
