My daughter and I are foodies. We simply love traveling and experience each city's unique vibe. Our Uber driver highly recommended this place and he was spot on. The husband and wife team has provided their authentic on Thai cuisine. Go and sit back and woof down a bowl of noodles. We ate #15 and #28. So many locals love this place and there is a great reason why.

We happened upon this great little bakery while waiting for a family member having a test in the Gonda Building at Mayo. It's connected to the clinic via walkway and is amidst some other restaurant options. Like most, we were visiting Mayo in a stressful situation, so finding this hidden gem was a perfect way to passify our emotions during a tense time. Their cookies are almost too beautiful to eat, their cinnamon rolls were amazing (the secret frosting trumps all others) and the carrot cake cupcakes hit the spot too.

I enjoy having lunch here. Making a decision is not easy, but everything is really fine. Exceptional sandwiches, soups, salads...selection always perfect. While the staff is minimally cordial, it certainly is not helpful and is obviously there to slap together orders and go on to the next person. And, those who are "regulars" are pushy and rude to others not as familiar with the routine. While I was there, a nice, older couple gave up in the mix of things and left. One of the employees thought their confusion was funny, and it saddened me to see his rudeness; the couple turned and walked out. I left as well.

We finally decided to give this restaurant a try. Unfortunately it lived up to my low expectations. The service was incredibly slow, from start to finish. The high point of the meal was the bread and butter, which they brought to the table immediately. It took a half hour for the salad to arrive. I expected them to bring the wine earlier, but no ... At least the salad was tasty.My wife had the New Zealand lamb chops, which were very good. I had the beef short rib, which was barely recognizable as such. I expect short ribs to be meaty, juicy and flavorful. This time, I was quite disappointed. It was literally the least enjoyable beef short rib I ever had. The service remained ridiculously slow to the end, even as the restaurant emptied out.

Tonic is a neighborhood gathering place. Itâs the perfect place for meeting friends for a cup of tea, enjoying a smoothie made with locally sourced ingredients, or feeding your entire family. We know our community. We know our suppliers. And we know that

We shared the $15 Avocado Cobb salad and it was terrific. We also shared a Very Very Berry Smoothie that was equally tasty. Service was a bit slow even though we arrived after the peak lunch time, but everyone was very friendly and trying to help. And the food is so good and healthy that we will plan a return visit to try something else.

We had a great brunch last Sunday. Restaurant was crowded, always a good sign. Super nice server, quick efficient service. Didn't feel rushed at all, even though it was busy. Best of all, the meals were delicious. Has a local vibe, but is clean and clearly has been a local favorite for some time.We are so grateful for your kind review.
