We came for a late lunch on a Friday. The place wasn't crowded and we could choose were to sit. I had a lamb burger which was OK but not great (I like mine thicker and medium, but the waitress said they do it more towards well). The fries were tasty. We also had chicken wings which were nice. Overall everything was nice and the prices are fair, but I can't say anything was extraordinary. Update: We came again on a busy Saturday evening. Everything was fine except for the fact that it took them almost an hour to serve us the food. They were very nice and apologized, but still an hour is too long.

Thanks for hosting my event yesterday. All of my friends had a great time and your food, service and set-up were perfect for the occasion. Highly recommend the nachos and the beef dip sandwich which were big hits with our group 👍 We will definitely return!

Perfect service! Spent a Sunday evening there for a birthday and Pooja did absolutely amazing. Attentive and did wonderfully with timing out the birthday cake and food. She made our experience extra special and the food was also 100/10! Portions are quite large and tasted fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful evening!

This neighborhood restaurant seems to be a popular spot among locals, offering a pub-style menu with something for everyone. Unfortunately, my experience fell a bit short of expectations. After finding out that my first two choices were unavailable, I settled on the Korean Crispy Fried Chicken Sandwich. While the sandwich wasn’t terrible, it didn’t live up to its name. It wasn’t crispy, and the “Korean” element was unclear—it tasted more like chicken coated in sweet BBQ sauce. The dill pickles were sparse, leaving the sandwich lacking in textures. Thankfully, the sweet potato fries were the highlight, although it would’ve been nice if the chipotle mayo didn’t come with an extra charge. Another person at our table ordered the Power Bowl, which was described as decent but basic, with an overwhelming amount of dried cranberries throwing off the balance. The third dish, Soy Ginger Glazed Tuna Street Tacos with edamame, was also underwhelming. It lacked flavor, with red cabbage and a few dollops of avocado mayo as the only toppings, leaving it feeling uninspired. On the plus side, the second floor featured a party room with several pool tables, and there was a corporate Christmas party happening while we were there, which added a lively atmosphere. Overall, the meal didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The two ethnic-inspired dishes we tried could benefit from some tweaking to feel more authentic. That said, it’s possible the menu is tailored to suit local tastes, which might explain the simpler flavors. While it wasn’t my favorite dining experience, it could still appeal to those looking for a casual spot with a laid-back vibe.

Safari Bar and Grill is a hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for a casual night out or watching a game. The food exceeded my expectations — everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and served hot. The wings and burgers are a must-try, and the drinks are reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back.
