"What an incredible use of Sibley’s. The restaurants are local and friendly folks. The building is worth the trip alone but you won’t be disappointed in the food selection either. Come support these wonderful downtown businesses!"

"A wonderful venue I recommend to anyone .. many businesses inside. Too many really to choose from.. I also recommend making a day of it .. take your laptops and get some work done, plenty of food options and a great atmosphere. Jenna and the Crew at La Bola are just wonderful. Worth a stop to enjoy a moment."

"This former retail shopping space has been turned into a bustling food culture center! My parents tell stories of shopping here for clothes back in the 80s. Now, I am eating the most comforting spaghetti, pho, and BBQ. How neat is that? Ordinarily, the one meal I am not willing to travel over is spaghetti. Nobody makes the gravy better than my Nani. However, the aroma of ripe stewed tomatoes simmering for an eternity had me floating through the air like a cartoon. Intoxicating. The subtle distinct sweet smell of basil, oregano and thyme filled my nose. Liberating. Spaghetti is the ideal meal for heartaches, stress, and happiness."
