Fantasy Kitchen Co.

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 Unbelievably delicious food for very reasonable prices. Owner is a kind man hustling well.

👍👍 My wife and I chose this company to do a food tour because of the great reviews, the choices available, and that we could book with our Chase points! The fusion tour we did was fantastic.

CKB Restaurant

Italian restaurant

👍👍 One quick glance is what it all takes to get pulled into this land of magic potions. Just hand over the decision making to Nicole and Nathan, and they would charm you with their cocktails.

Bar Notte

Cocktail bar

👍 We came here with reservation on a Friday evening. When we arrived it was pretty quiet but as the night went on it became pretty busy and loud. The booth seating on the left hand side of the restaurant was very uncomfortable. They didn't have any cushions there and my back was aching all night. Than...
