Tela's Market & Kitchen

The butternut squash soup was good even though I preferred less cheese. The pan roasted salmon was mostly good -- except the salmon was a tad too salty for me. Nevertheless I still give 4 ⭐ for the food. Server was friendly and welcoming, but overall I give 3 ⭐ for service because two things: 1) no one gave me the proper cloth napkin for dining (after the soup came out, I had to go get my own square paper napkins at the bar), and later when the entree came out, the kitchen staff was about to walk away leaving me without utensils (and still no napkin), and I asked to request them. This is not a nitpick -- it is essential situational awareness that a guest cannot eat without utensils :) 2) it took ~25 minutes for the starter soup to come out, and ~37 minutes for the entree. For context it was Halloween, and there were ~18 other guests inside and perhaps ~6-8 outside, and 2 servers; I don't know if this was super busy for them -- the place was only at maybe 40% capacity though -- but the wait time was definitely on the longer side of the spectrum, which frankly was starting to bug me. All that said I still think the restaurant is worth another visit, hopefully similar issues do not repeat. EDIT: After posting the review above, I looked at a handful of other <4 ⭐ reviews and several mentioned slow service despite small crowds. Maybe this suggests a slow kitchen? One review was from a few months ago, so maybe things haven't changed enough.

You never know what you're gonna get but I gave it a shot. So nice. Spotless clean. Super friendly. Good music at a good volume. And the food was great and came out at a good time. I look forward to coming back. They are open till 3pm.

Lovely quaint place, very modern type atmosphere. I had the pancakes, which you'd think can't go wrong, right? They were easily the most memorable pancakes I've ever had, they were like biting into a cloud. We also got an omelette and potatoes that were also amazing. I was happy to see they also had a fully working bar open at 11am lol. I planned on treating myself to a cocktail and they made me a super sweet and fruity cocktail that I was extremely pleased with. Definitely a great place to check out in the neighborhood. Mind my horrible picture of the outside.

Went here alone for the first time on a Friday morning/afternoon and easily is one of my fav spots now to study/eat/drink. They had lo-fi type music playing which makes it study friendly. Plenty of people had their laptops open doing work so I felt comfortable chilling there for a minute. Most of the seating is cozy. The highlight of everything I got was the espresso martini, so good! Definitely recommend to spot by :)

Walking in, I loved the space and decor inside. Got seated right away without a reservation. Unfortunately, service was so slow even on a Tuesday afternoon. It took 40 minutes to get our food and the place wasn’t packed. Food was pretty bland, nothing had salt or pepper on it. Once I doctored it up, it was better but nothing special. Potatoes were crispy though. Also, the breakfast taco was a burrito? And bacon was undercooked.

I would have given a 5 star but had to do 4 because of an incident I witnessed. I was there for the eagles parade and had a great time. The staff was clearly working hard and I got my drinks in a timely fashion, and grabbed a cheesesteak which was amazing. Unfortunately I saw a man that looked like the owner cursing at his staff and it really rubbed me the wrong way. Otherwise I had a great experience.

I love this place!! It is my new favorite brunch spot and since I first went, I have recommended it to so many of my friends. However, I realized that the vegan options are awful! I wanted to take my close friend who is vegan here and upon looking at the brunch menu, I realized there are only two vegan options: the seasonal fruit plate and the brown rice bowl. Do better!!

Stopped in to grab brunch with my daughter. We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to be seated right away (on a Sunday:) She had the grilled chicken sandwich and mac and cheese. I had eggs benedict with smoked salmon. So good!! Nice crowd, great music, and super friendly staff…
