“If you've been around NYC and vegetarian, you have almost definitely heard of Dirt Candy. It's the epitome of vegetarian fine dining in NYC.I will preface my review by stating that I have not grown up in the fine dining realm; there is probably some level of "appreciation" that I lack. That being said, the food here is great. Presentation, creativity, flavor experience are all on point. However, I couldn't justify the price for the food. I think if you are very curious and want to knock it off your bucket list OR you are someone into fine dining then this is perfect. Otherwise, there are restaurants that I think you get much better bang for your buck for in NYC.“
“Had such an amazing time. Honestly this place deserves two Michelin stars. The service was tremendous. We were celebrating a friends graduation and everyone seemed to know. We did the vegetarian prefix and our friends had the normal menus. The vegetarian menu was fantastic and I never felt like I was getting a second class meal. Drinks were also top notch. Would recommend.“
“This is my favorite Los Tacos No. 1 location because it's right next door to their seafood restaurant. I was able to have my favorite, a grilled chicken taco, along with a spicy shrimp taco and fish taco from next door as well. I was in taco heaven.“
“A very good Italian address! Thin and delicious pizzas, be careful they are very large, in the photos they are the small ones! Possibility of having a half & half pizza: one recipe on one half, and a second on the other. Very friendly service. Booking is recommended !Vegetarian options: Lots of meatless pizzas“
“First time I went early and quality was impressive but second time quality was off. Got the Alaska, spicy tuna and tunascallion and it was okay. The green tea creme brulee was not my favorite as it was so fatty and sweet. Would not get that again. Got the Madi which was my favorite fish. Spicy tuna was my favorite out if all of them and the eel cucumber special was okay.. Not again“
“It's my first time in New York, I wanted to try a good coffee. I was greatly surprised by the waiter Carlos, he is very kind and gentle, he made me feel welcome, he was very attentive, I recommend the place for Carlos' attention to me and for his coffee, people like him make you want to come back. Thank you very much Carlos for giving me this great experience!!!“
“Had a girls night here. 5 of us, outside table, drinks and dinner before going out on Saturday. Definitely make a reservation. Drinks were average price for WV - 18. They were all excellent tasting (see note below though). Service was great - sirloin sandwich was delicious and well priced. We were not rushed out and vibes were great. We had a great time and I will be back. Note to the restaurant -- the espresso martini was great BUT please change the design, the coffee grounds on the top were cute but they ruin the drink halfway through and get in your teeth.“
“Delicious BBQ in Industry City, Brooklyn, NY. The brisket and cornbread were too die for!! So good. The pastrami, thick cut bacon ? was very flavorful but super rich and filling, so please share!! It’s a self-serve place, so if you’re looking for table service you won’t get it. Be the food was very good.“
“I love this Craft Beer and Burgers but this place is amazing is like you were in Disneyland roller coaster of flavors and I’m very thankful to my Server Kendra L. Briggs to take care any time and how she’s rolling this place from the beginning to the end great food experience and service as well!!!!!“
“I normally recommend this bakery to everyone. However, yesterday morning I went to your Brooklyn location to bring home bombalones for family. This morning the strawberry on top on one is literally covered in mold. This is absolutely unacceptable! Unfortunately I'm already back out of state so I can't even come back to get an exchange. I spent around $75 yesterday.... and I get MOLDY food.“
“I have eaten alot of falafel, shawarma, and other sorts of middle eastern cuisine. This is THE BEST falafel ive had in my life. Literally everything here was great. I had the baklava aswell, it was also the best I've ever had. This is a must visit for anyone in town“
“Before actually visiting Dante, I had featured them in an article on the low ABV revolution for Drinks International. Dante is a shining example of an industry shift towards lighter aperitivo-style drinking establishments. Inspired by their travels in Italy, the team wanted to promote the European style drinking experience to New Yorkers, accustomed to sipping Old Fashioneds, even before dinner. Original founder Naren Young says that customers often hang out for hours, sipping four of five of Dante’s sessionable drinks like the Garibaldi, Americano, Spritz or lighter versions of the Negroni.Dante is an Italian aperitivo hangout done well. Think Bar Termini but on a larger scale. A staff with positive energy, comforting natural lighting throughout the bar, and skilled and happy bartenders making a better rendition of the Garibaldi than in Italy. I had such a great experience at Dante that I was tempted to visit a second time the following morning before my flight back to Milano.“
“I absolutely love these cookies. The line was down the block on a nice fall Saturday afternoon but it moved so fast. 15 minutes from start to finish. Amazing cookies, by far the most unique chocolate chip cookie. They are massive, 1 cookie is like having a large piece of cake with icing. They are not the “grab a handful” type of cookies. They are baked crisp on the outside and gooey melty in the middle- all the time every time! Extremely worth it!!“
“Second time here, both for lunch, and both delicious!Had the meatballs over rice with salad and a mint limeade. I asked the server for drink recs and he let me taste all of his faves.Need to come back for the dukka fries because they look amaaaazing.They also still have outdoor seating - Happy to have!Vegetarian options: Lots of flavorful vegetarian options and sauces!“
“I've wanted to try gelato for the longest time but had no idea where to begin, especially given the abundance of options in NYC. Thankfully, I came across a fellow Yelp friend's glowing review of Figo and knew this was just the place. We came on a dreary day, and there were no customers when we arrived, but honestly, I was too excited to care. The interior was cute and green and gave major spring forest vibes. I did my research so I knew exactly what I wanted. My sister, on the other hand, contemplated between pistachio and caffè and ended up going with the latter. Their prices have risen slightly. It's now $7.50 (instead of $6) for a regular cup of gelato, with up to 2 flavors. The portions are huge though, so two people can easily share a cup. * Ferrero Rocher I was dead set on ordering this flavor, and it was everything I imagined it to be. Sweet, smooth, rich, and creamy, with blended Ferrero Rocher bits. I found an almost whole Ferrero Rocher piece at the bottom of my cup and loved the added crunch. * Caffè Absolutely divine and exactly how I like my coffee. This flavor perfectly balanced the sweet and creamy elements of gelato with the rich and subtle, bitter notes of dark roast coffee. Highly recommend!“
“Love this place. I used to live nearby and the place was in a different space a lot smaller. Now is a very nice open restaurant. Food is fantastic, service is great. They allow dogs inside. I was very surprised for this and will be back with my furry friend.“
“What can I say about this place?!? It is beyond adorable! My friend and I were roaming around in the rain and stumbled upon this gem! We had a couple of glasses of bubbly and a snack to share, gambas! The shrimp were sooo fresh and perfectly seasoned. The space itself is soooo cute and rustic! The service was impeccable. I can’t wait to go back and visit!“
“Really great sourdough baguette, I'm still thinking about it! I got the tahini spread and it went well with the baguette. My friend got the Mediterranean quiche which was vegetarian and had zucchini, feta, tomato, and onions. She loved it! They are very sweet even though we can in and out 30 mins before closing and they didn't have many other customers. It's a warm homely space and smells delicious!“
“Anthony was an excellent server. Very attentive. Pleasant and outgoing person.Made our meal Pleasant. Great personality. We will be back to see him. We usually go to Hackensack but found Wayne to be much tastier and portions just right. Closer to home too. We will be back.“
“Absolutely loved this restaurant! Service was superb! Great vibes … felt very safe with distance of tables . Service and head waiter was so welcoming ! Lentil soup and Salad gelato with shrimp Delicious! Salmon , lasagna and homemade pappardelle so yummy . I just returned from Italy and felt like I was right back there ! Will be back !“
“I recently celebrated my birthday at Vic’s with a group of friends, and it was an absolutely fantastic dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance was lively yet intimate, setting the perfect tone for the evening.We started with the ARANCINI, which were fried to perfection and surprisingly light, with a delightful balance of lemon and fontina cheese.The VODKA pizza was special, featuring unique toppings like guanciale and marjoram that perfectly complemented the gooey fontina cheese.The MAFALDINE pasta was a revelation, with its inventive combination of pistachio, chive, and bread crumbs creating a symphony of flavors and textures unlike anything I’ve ever tasted.And of course, the CHITARRA pasta with lobster and spicy tomato sauce was fresh and indulgent.To top it all off, the TIRAMISU dessert was the perfect sweet ending to a memorable meal.The service was friendly and attentive throughout, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. I highly recommend Vic’s for any special occasion or simply for a delicious meal with friends. Be sure to make a reservation, as this gem fills up quickly!“
“If you're searching for a dining experience that transcends the ordinary, look no further than PF Changs! From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. The ambiance was both inviting and elegant, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.But what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service provided by bartenders Quenta and Danny. Their professionalism and attentiveness elevated my visit to new heights. Their mastery of mixology was evident in every cocktail they crafted, each one a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. Their genuine enthusiasm and friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening.I must also commend Giussepe, the manager, for his excellence and attentiveness. He ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was nothing short of perfection. His dedication to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the evening, and his presence only enhanced an already stellar experience.In summary, PF Changs, with its outstanding service and delectable cuisine, earns a perfect 10/10 in my book. Whether you're seeking a romantic dinner for two or a memorable night out with friends, this establishment is sure to exceed your expectations. Don't hesitate to pay them a visit—you won't be disappointed!“
“I added salmon, green onion cream cheese, and tomato to the Everything Bagel and it was super delicious!! Be sure to ask for the bagel to be toasted. There was a lot, so I bought one and shared it with my boyfriend, and it was perfect. I'm going again tomorrow.“
“Mamsitas offers an authentic Mexican dining experience with vibrant decor and a lively atmosphere. The menu features standout dishes like handcrafted tacos and rich mole poblano. The service is friendly and efficient, making for a pleasant meal from start to finish. With reasonable prices and delicious margaritas, Mamsitas is a fantastic choice for anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors in a festive setting. Highly recommended for a casual dinner or a festive night out!“
“When a craftsman takes pride in their work, it shows! Let me tell you that this pizza has "craftsmanship" written all over it! To begin with not many pizzerias make grandma slices, whereas they had an abundance when I went in. To top it off the taste is just an explosion of flavor! This is besides a variety of pizza styles they have ready. I'm definitely coming back and can't wait to try out other craft slices!“
“Ordered the Charred Chicken Bowl, and I must say, it was phenomenal. It had a flavour that was unbeknownst to me in a bowl. The coconut ranch mixed with the habanero sauce, really do create a unique flavour profile. Also, the chicken marination was something that was brand new to me. Do give it a try!“
“The food was rich in flavor and expertly prepared, making each bite a pleasure. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service provided by Carlos, our attentive waiter. His friendly demeanor and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect.“
“We were in town and found this restaurant after visiting the Brooklyn Library. We were pleased with the food and service. We also had mimosas and an espresso martini which was great. We made a reservation and was immediately sat with no wait when we arrived. I would've liked to see them cater to a more diverse crowd. Lacked a bit in diversity regarding patrons but I don't know if that's the restaurant's fault. We were the only minority there when we went. Overall we enjoyed our visit here.“
“Great meal and overall time here! Our server was super nice and friendly/helpful he really guided us through the menu and gave some great suggestions. The restaurant itself is super nice and cozy while being spacious, but oh man the food is unreal. We had the meatballs (so big and flavorful and smothered in sauce), the mushroom pizza which was loaded with mushrooms, super flavorful and unique. Also got the vodka pizza which was really great, we got extra vodka sauce on the side so we could really drown it and loved it. My friend got the gluten free and she said it's the first gluten free bread she's had that actually tastes like real bread and loved it.“
“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“I ordered catering for my birthday event last weekend and the food was amazing! I’ve been a true fan of this restaurant ever since I’ve moved up to Bloomfield a few years ago and I always bring my friends and family to this restaurant. Whether it’s Brunch or dinner, the food never disappoints! Hence why I thought it was a good idea to ask for them to cater for my bday! Anthony and his team were very accommodating and brought out the rest of trays as the previous ones started emptying out which I greatly appreciated due to the lack of space we were given at the venue. We ordered the chicken empanadas, beef empanadas, broccoli rabe, mixed greens salad, Mac and cheese, chicken parm, eggplant parm, pasta vodka, meatballs and potato croquettes. All dishes were excellent and everyone was excited to pack the leftovers home as well! I also ordered catering from here back in February for my galentines party and the food was also a success during that time. I know I can count on them for providing exemplary food as well as service. Thank you, Anthony and his team for making my birthday memorable!“
“Good place for brunch with the friends! My friend made a reservation for the 4 of us a week before and thankfully we did - it's a relatively small restaurant with limited seating. I got the Turkish eggs and it was good, although I would recommend ordering a bit more if you're coming for lunch.“
“Everything is as delicious as it sounds to be honest! Ran by Koreans, the taste reminds me of my mom’s food but restaurant level quality and aesthetics. They pack their to-go food like a cute little lunch box, a piece of fruit, and a brownie that’s deceptively yummy and chewy/fudgy. Their to/go hot teas are also SO nicely packed. I love their attention to quality in an amazing neighborhood hidden gem.“
“Cute little bakery, a little pricey for what you get, but the pastries all look almost too good to eat. You can buy your treats and enjoy them outside across the street at Lt. Petrosino Square.Strawberry cheesecake was $6, flavor wasn't anything extraordinary, but the service was very welcoming and kind.“
“Today, we stopped in to sample our first slice of NYC pizza. The gentlemen behind the counter quickly made us feel at home and not like the tourist from Kentucky who were aimlessly wandering Little Italy trying different foods. The building may be small, but the food is authentic. We opted for a large slice with fresh mozzarella, basil, and a crisp thin crust. Folks it was delish! So head on over to Nolita Pizza at 68 Kenmare St., New York, and tell them the lady from Kentucky sent you.“
“Service and atmosphere were cool, but the cookie I had was not good. Was really looking forward to trying as the other reviews of this place are amazing.I tried the Birthday Party cookie. For a cookie with so many flavorful things in it (cake batter, Oreos, sprinkles, 2 types of chocolate) it had little flavor profile and was dry and hard. Maybe I just got the wrong flavor.“
“Phenomenal vegan fare but its so much more than that.Vlad is an excellent host who really focuses on a fostering a real sense of community, encouraging evenings that focus on muscicians, writers, activists or just hanging out and having a good time!“
“ABC Kitchen is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. The decor is stylish yet cozy, creating the perfect ambiance for a memorable dining experience.Now let's talk about the food – wow! Each dish that graced my table was a true work of art, meticulously crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients that burst with flavor. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delightful journey for my taste buds.One of the highlights of my dining experience was the impeccable service. The staff at ABC Kitchen are not only knowledgeable about the menu but also incredibly attentive, ensuring that every need is met with a smile.Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a gathering with friends and family, ABC Kitchen is the perfect choice. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!“
“I just can’t get enough of this place, it’s sooo damn good. I came to vacation here in New York once again after coming here once during wrestlemania 2019. I immediately came here during the cold raining storm drenched just wanting my key lime pie!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT! Everything tastes very high quality.I just got everything on the menu . I don’t care how much it cost.The chocolate is smooth, creamy and dark. It pairs really well with key lime pie. You can actually taste the graham cracker crust, I’m shocked because so many pies mask the flavor of the crust with their artificial sour tart lime filling. Not this pie!! And last but not least, the key lime filling is perfect. Not extremelySour or tart, just right and creamy. With a hint of lime flavor.Prior to our arrival, my sister was angry and upset that I made her walk with me to Steve’s during this crazy cold windy storm. Her mood changed once she tried the pie. Saved me the stress of having to deal with it.Ugh I’m leaving today morning back to LA. I’ll miss this place very much. I wish there was a Steve’s in Los Angeles. My trips to NY are not compete without a key lime pie from Steve.“

“My wife and I have been eating at Cavany since it opened - we live in the 235 Grand building. Alejandro and his staff not only cook amazing food, but they are welcoming and have turned the restaurant into a wonderful space for a casual meal with an upscale feel. Our favorites are the Ropa Vieja and tostones!“
“I have been craving sesame-flavored things, so I had to go here when I saw that it has sesame ice cream. It was good--not too sweet, a good combination of sweet and savory, and subtly fragrant. Although I stopped tasting it after eating it for a while. It did feel expensive for a scoop of ice cream on a cone ($6.30) but at least the scoop was pretty big. There are a lot of cool flavors so I hope to go back sometime.“
“Visiting from Kentucky googled best pizza and seen the rave reviews had the hubby find a parking spot. So jealous that we don’t have any pizzerias in my hometown of Louisville. It was delicious we had a slice of Nonna and pepperoni w/ jalapeño and some garlic knots. Price was fantastic. Loved the location, atmosphere, and quick friendly service.“
“Stopped for coffee and a menu item. Wonderful food. I had a latte and house toast. Spoke with the owner who was there. If it was wrong, he fixed it for a different customer. Wait time to get seated was about 10 minutes as restaurant was full.“
“When I entered the store, I saw a simple decoration and a few pots of flowers, but it was very comfortable and peaceful. I could sit there quietly and enjoy the coffee latte made by the boss. I really liked this coffee latte. I took a sip and tasted it slowly in my mouth, feeling the taste of coffee and milk mixed together. Then I just want to say, Wow, it tastes good. I like it. And the boss is very nice.“
“I worked with Holly at Deborah Miller to handle catering for a 130 person client breakfast. Holly was such a pro with knowing how much food for the group would be appropriate while also taking into account many different allergies. She made the entire process so easy. And delivery/setup on the day of the event was seamless. I would highly recommend Deborah Miller Catering and plan to use them again for all my client catering needs!“
“Really impressed! We asked Stuff by SJ to make a custom cake for a pizza-themed birthday party. Working with them (Drew) was super easy and stress free. They were helpful, responsive, well priced and even delivered our cake to the restaurant ahead of the party. Everyone complimented the design and taste of the cake so it was a big hit. I’d definitely go back to them for our next cake.“

“What a fantastic meal. Extra special if you avoid gluten but still go, even if you eat gluten. Started with amazing calamari (since I don't eat gluten, I hadn't had this in decades) served with side of tomato sauce, branzino (couldn't be any better and we shared molten cake with ice cream and an Eclair. The waiter was very helpful with suggestions and the room was great with high ceilings and chandeliers with some lively music playing.“
“Still having dreams about my steak, the pataras bravas, and crispy golden brussel sprouts. Our waitress gave us a dismissive nod when we requested our steak cook preference - and I guess it didn't matter because it came out perfect. The space itself is small and intimate- perfect for any kind of gathering big or small.“
“A vegan friend invited me here for the first time, and I’ll continue to come here for lunch! The food is fresh and innovative, and feels like comfort food. Walk up to the counter, most of the options are dished up while you’re placing your order, some they grab from the kitchen. It’s quick and delicious. Staff is friendly. It’s also reasonably priced for such high quality food.“
“Delivery was fast and not delayed from the original time (like most places are now). Got the brick oven personal pizza and garlic knots. Garlic knots were the right texture and taste (can't beat the price either) and pizza was delicious. I've tried a lot of pizza places around the area and this is one of the better ones.“
