    Angelica’s is the restaurant of choice for my family. It was nice to have brunch there today to enjoy good food and bottomless mimosas. We had one of our fave appetizers today, calamari, before enjoying the breakfast burrito, steak tacos, and taco salad. It was our first time having the tacos and taco salad. So delicious!

    I hadn’t been to Evvia in years and it was so great to go back. My friend and I shared a bunch of appetizers: meatballs, octopus, roasted beets and the butternut squash. The octopus was fantastic as were the meatballs. We each had a glass of wine and the whole meal was $100. Will definitely do that again.
