Delicious rolls and noodles! 12th Ave roll and the yakisoba noodles were amazing and definitely a favorite from our group. The noodles were spicy and very flavorful. The 12th Ave roll was delicious with shrimp tempura and spicy tuna. We also ordered the Madison roll but weren’t huge fans of it. Other things we ordered were the miso soup, rainbow roll, and the crunchy cali roll. Service was great and the food came out fast. We also ordered the jasmine tea and hibiscus berry tea. The center garden area in the restaurant is beautiful and the overall ambiance is very calm and inviting. Overall a great dinner!

We came for bottomless and didn’t have a reservation, but they were able to seat us as a party of 6 which was very convenient. We tried both the bottomless sangria and mimosas. The mimosas come in pitchers that are already premixed with their different juices. The pineapple was definitely my favorite. For food I ordered a chicken quesadilla which was filling and a good size, but nothing amazing. We ended with sharing the beignets which were really good and came with strawberry ice cream. Overall it was a decent brunch experience. The food was ok and the drinks weren’t bad.

We came for their happy hour which goes till 7pm. There were 4 of us and we walked in and grabbed a table right away. All the servers were very friendly and checked on us throughout our time there. We each got a beer/cider and for food got the cheeseburger sliders, Buffalo wings and barbecue wings all from their happy hour menu. We also ordered a side of their garlic Parmesan fries which was from their regular menu. The sliders and fries were both delicious. We needed to kill some time while we waited for a table at a different spot for dinner, so this was a great place to grab a drink and light snacks while we waited!

Love Wydown! Their pumpkin syrup is delicious. My friend and I both got an iced pumpkin latte and asked to make it a little sweeter. The drink came out amazing and was the perfect amount of sweet for us. We also noticed their postcard station where you can send anyone a postcard with a note for free! They stamp and mail it for you which is a sweet gesture. I’ve heard they have good pastries but we weren’t able to try them this time. Hope to come back soon!

I love Simona in Arlington so was excited to get another chance to have it, this time in noma! I came early Wednesday morning about 30 minutes after they opened. It was pretty quiet so I decided to eat there. I got an iced coffee with milk and a chocolate croissant. The employees were so friendly and welcoming, and I love when cafes have actual plates and mugs for customers that eat there. My iced coffee was great and my chocolate croissant was delicious! So warm and soft. I like that each table has a little flower pot which has the Wi-Fi password listed. It makes it convenient to not get up to find the password at the counter or asking someone. Their fall specialty drinks looked good too, especially the brown sugar pumpkin. I hope to come back and try it before it’s gone!
