Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in The Junction

My wife and I visited that place for the Christmas theme and it didn't disappoint at all. That's such a beautiful restaurant / bar. We will definitely come back more often. The food was excellent but what made the different was Eleanor , she took care of us like we were her friend coming over to her place. What a great experience , thank you everyone at Aleria for making this a fantastic evening.

This was an exceptional experience all around! Our server Andrea A was so attentive, she was super knowledgeable and friendly, great server! The food is unreal and the ambiance was perfect, we will definitely be going back!

Mamakas is an absolute gem! The vibe of the restaurant was fantastic, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made our evening even more special. The food was nothing short of delicious—every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about all the dishes on the menu, which made our dining experience even better. My party of four opted for the Chef Tasting Menu at $75 per person, and it was worth every penny. It allowed us to enjoy a little bit of everything they had to offer, and each dish was better than the last. If you’re looking for a place that combines amazing food, great ambiance, and excellent service, I highly recommend Mamakas. We’ll definitely be back!

I sat at the counter and felt it was the best seat in the house. I got to see the chefs in action, preparing the food and offering to answer any questions I had about the menu and what they were cooking. Very friendly, relaxed and welcoming restaurant. I felt the food was very good, and that I got good value for the price. Would recommend the restaurant, and plan on visiting and having a few of the other dishes which looked delicious. Very different vibe than many other places, which was refreshing, you felt like you were being hosted at a friends home.

We had a very fun and festive evening. Room was packed and lively so a little noisy but it added to our overall enjoyment.
