sad to report we've had more than 35 covers cancel for a 24hour period with not much notice, please think of your small independents and try not to cancel last minute

Can everyone stop saying 'hot girl summer' and start saying 'pizza on the beach girl summer'? Please and thank you.

A little snippet of yesterday's super natural restaurant shoot in the new Sister Bao on S Clerk Street. This is a female owned and operated authentic Chinese restaurant specializing in bao, dumplings and noodles... and it belongs at the top of your takeaway list!
