Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Downtown

So, I’m a huge fan of this group of restaurants. Bestia and Saffy’s are my favs. We went to Bavel in 2018 and didn’t love it. We decided to try again last night and were so glad we did. The food was amazing. Every dish a feast for the senses. The services was impeccable. The Somm had know how and guided us to a couple of great picks. Our group couldn’t land on a single favorite. The bababganoush, dates, and osobuco tangine were top of the lists. We’re going back!

Food was excellent, service was amazing! The cornbread, pork chop, and Caesar salad were awesome!

Our server was knowledgeable and very helpful. Food was excellent and ambiance was noisy but comfortable and appropriate for our birthday celebration

Very good place, very good service, I loved the person who served us, his name is Victor, very good person, 10/10 service, I recommend him to 💯

I took my mom here for her birthday who is half Japanese and she had a wonderful time! We all really enjoyed experiencing flavors that were unique and fun to share with each other. We all ordered the omakase and ordered the almonds and chinmi separately. Maybe the only ding in the experience was the servers mispronounced omakase, which was weird considering it's a high-end Japanese restaurant. They don't put the emphasis on "ma", rather they make it sound like kamikaze which is off-putting at the ordering stage. I loved the Grilled California Holstein Beef Strip the most. It was so simple to look at, but the flavor of the beef with the salt crystals was divine. Loved the fresh seaweed shot with grapes! This made all of us say Wow! The omakase came with a mackerel sushi roll which wasn't on the menu, but it was a flavor bomb. The steamed rice was beautiful with the pork jowl. I could eat that rice on its own though! The miso soup was super tasty! I would skip the shiitake tempura but it's part of the omakase. Too oily, don't eat the whole thing. The new katsu with wagyu beef is a huge amount of food. My mom ate 1/4 of it and had to take the rest home, but my boyfriend ate the whole thing! The cocktails were fantastic, along with the sake pairings throughout our meal. The bartender was stellar. Loved the Yuzu Reviver (vodka) and the Old Fashioned. We left feeling full and satisfied, but not stuffed. It was all delicious! Expect a 2 1/2 hour delectable experience! Enjoy!
