“The ingredients matter. Chef Guo uses the best organic & fresh ingredients to cook them to their best natural flavor. I love the magic he does with these ingredients. The presentation and restaurant decor just put his cuisine to the next level! Highly recommend this place to folks who appreciate nature, organic and yummy food and fine cooking skills.“
“If you live in Northern NJ and have not been to The Venetian you are truly missing out! The Venetian is one of the top wedding venues in New Jersey and they make that very well known! With their amazing staff ready to help you with everything to their top level food you will not have a bad time!As a wedding photographer one of the worst things that can happen is going to a wedding venue where there are no photographic opportunities especially when it is raining outside! Thankfully the venetian is filled with wall to wall beauty that if it is raining you will still end up with amazing photos (see photos i have taken attached to this review).I HIGHLY recommend this wedding venue, you will not be disappointed!“
“It gets loud here, y'all. Make a rezzie for dinner time. There's usually a wait. But it's good eatin'. And I really wanted to try the Banana Pudding dessert, but they were all out. The 3 meats combo plate was enough for two of us to get full, even though it's meant for only 1 person. I have no complaints. Must say the brisket, ribs, and pulled pork are delicious ?Kid-friendliness: There were lots of kids present enjoying their meals with their families. Somebody celebrated a birthday, and the whole restaurant joined in to sing.“
“Best pizza to get when ur faded as a mf I highly recommend coming here drunkVegetarian options: Yeah but u a bxtch if u a vegetarianDietary restrictions: Just hit the gym if u fatParking: Jus walk u lazy fxckKid-friendliness: Yes but fk them kidsWheelchair accessibility: Yea“
“My sister and I went to Urban Vegan Kitchen for the first time this week. We both absolutely loved it. The food, the service, the vibe…all great. I had the “chicken” and waffles and my sister had an empanada and chips, salsa and guacamole. All delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu.“
“I love coming to this location! The service is always on point. Attentive waitstaff and fresh tasting food. The drinks are delicious as well. The ambiance is so nice and the music was a nice mix of Spanish music. If you're lucky enough to have Luis as your server he is amazing!“
“NO JOKE! The best empanada I've ever had!!!Its golden, flaky pastry shell was perfectly crisp. The filling itself was chock’full of seasoned meats, onions, and a hint of spice. Every bite was a burst of savory goodness, making it a memorable and must-try treat for anyone seeking an exceptional empanada.Vegetarian options: Cheese all day! Plenty of options for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: Some of the nicest people in the world run this store. They are friendly and what kid DOESN’T like empanadas????!!!!!“
“The best place I’ve been! Absolutely best food ! The sandwiches are amazing, the bread is perfect (made here) everything is wonderful, warm and nice people, welcoming people!I wish there was more stars to give!!!מקום מספר אחת באמריקה ! ללא ספק !!“
“Worked with DMC for a work event and they were top-tier in their communication and presentation. The event went off without a hitch and leading up to the event, the team was incredibly helpful and great with communicating the moving pieces and parts. They also provided great recommendations and their top recommendation was the biggest hit at the event! They're not the cheapest, but they're great at what they do and I would definitely work with them again.“
“Just A Nibble made our daughter's bridal shower PERFECT! From the minute Nicholas walked through the door on the day of the event, he put me entirely at ease -- I knew that everything would be great, and it was. Just A Nibble's waiters and bartender had the perfect touch, seeming to float through the crowd, unperturbed by tight spaces. They made everything easy and fun. And the food was delicious (and abundant!). I can't recommend Just A Nibble highly enough.“
“TipsyScoop was so much fun! I attended the SundaeMaking class where we made two sundaes: The Tequila Sunrise and the Whiskey Dreams. They provide all of the materials and you get to leave with a tipsy scoop glass! I honestly enjoyed sampling every flavor in the store, just as much as creating the sundaes. Tipsy scoop is known for having the highest alcohol content in their ice cream and this was not a lie. I definitely felt a little buzz when I left but overall it was such a fun experience. I did it as a solo date, but would highly recommend this as something to do with friends or as a couple. Make sure you try every flavor even if it sounds like it's something that you wouldn't like. My favorite flavors were the Coquito Dulce De Leche, Oreo Old Fashioned, Vanilla Bean Bourbon and the Gingerbread Martini. I'm planning to head back for another class in March. 10/10 recommend!“
“Fallier Foods is absolutely amazing!! From the moment I started communicating with Sharon, she was awesome, very patient, kind and extremely professional. She treated me like I was a l I ng standing clients and she delivered the food, 37 minutes earlier than the discussed time, which was amazing. She came in set up and was out of the way after her instructions. And all of our wedding guest were in awe of the presentation and the flavors of all the food. The guest were raving about it, there was plenty left over and I thought they were going to fight over who got the last bite, it was so delicious. I will always use FALLIER FOOD for my future events.“
“Kenneth and his staff made my husband’s 60th birthday party spectacular. Everyone raved about the food and we had such a good time and were able to enjoy the evening and not worry about a thing. They took care of everything. We will definitely use Kenneth and Kemited Kitchen/Tour Catering again.“

“Their Gluten Free Bagels are amazing. I ordered online which was a mistake - it said it would take 45 minutes to be ready but when I walked over there 5 minutes later it was ready (phew!) and I think I was charge a fee. So ORDER but not online!Love love love the bagels.“
“Beautiful Irish bar in the Bx. I was there to play darts one night. I shoot in a league so we travel around. Dart board on site of course, and away from most people so you can play in peace. The drinks are reasonably priced as well and the bartenders are good too.“
“I am Italian living in Texas and was looking for a legit Italian restaurant. Oh my.. what a treasure we found! As I was eating the cacio e pepe it was so good I was closing my eyes almost in tears.. all so genuine and believe me really really authentic! I was missing those authentic and familiar flavors… and the branzino..simply favoloso! The owner was so nice to us, and the service was impeccable. The place atmosphere is familiar and at the same time every detail is well taken care of and classy. Oh and I can’t not mention the bread they make… hard to find such bread anywhere! I’ll definitely come back next time I’ll visit NY!“
“We walked by this place yesterday and came back to try it before we left to go back home. I’m so glad we did. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and everything is baked on site and delicious. We had the pastitsio (ground beef, pasta, cheese) that we all loved (parents and 11 y/o) and the frittata with spinach, dill, eggs, and tomato that the kid thought too spicy, but parents thought was perfect and light and fluffy. We also took home some small bakery items for later. The tiropita was fantastic- crispy and even better with a little sugar sprinkled on top.Atmosphere was clean, cozy with a Scandinavian flavor which was cool. 10/10 recommend.Kid-friendliness: Many choices kids would be happy with including Nutella baklava“
“We contacted Dish on short notice to help us with a reception we were hosting and they provided exceptional service and food. The Event Director and Producer provided great guidance in our food selections, handled all of the details seamlessly, and were even able to secure a permit on our behalf. All of the reception attendees commented on how great the food was. Highly recommended for corporate events.“
“If you're searching for a culinary haven that combines traditional Italian flavors with a modern twist, look no further than this Pizzeria. Nestled in the heart of downtown, this gem of a pizza joint delivers a dining experience that's nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the inviting aroma of freshly baked dough and savory toppings. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making it ideal for intimate dinners or lively gatherings with friends and family.“
“Wow this was incredible, there service was amazing. After getting a free sample of the coffee cheese cake a day before we knew we had to come back and try the food and it didn’t disappoint. Make sure to try a slice of the best cheesecake when your in town you won’t be “
“This shop is spectacular! The flavors are so sophisticated and unique. I bought a box for my husband for Valentine’s Day. He was so delighted and we’ve enjoyed a few pieces every day. I love that it’s on the 9th floor. Does it get more NYC than that? This place was such a lovely surprise. This is my new favorite spot in Chelsea. Love, love love!“
“Our company held a 2 day conference and we ordered catering for breakfast for 1 day and lunch for 2 days. Everything was great! The food was very tasty and flavorful. There was a lot of food that served everyone and a variety of options. Delivery was on time and communication was very professional. I would definitely recommend Gotham Catering for your catering needs. This will be the go to catering for future events.“
“We are so happy that we chose heimsh catering to do our sons bar mitzvah the food was excellent. All our guest asked if it was homemade!!! Joel was also a huge help the day of he stays and makes sire all his staff is doing what needs to get done.“

“Jeffrey and his team were exceptional. They arrived right on time and hit the ground running. The food was delicious; dishes were well executed. They were courteous and took great care of our guests. They thought of all the little details and the kitchen was left spotless. We will definitely use them again.“
“We recently got married at Deity in November 2023, and we couldn't be happier with the entire day – it was perfect! From start, when we first visited the venue in December 2022, to finish, our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we wanted to share our thoughts and gratitude.The venue itself is simply breathtaking. The moment we stepped into Deity, you could tell it holds so much unique charm and elegance. The space comes already beautifully designed, which was helpful as we did not need tons of floral arrangements/extra decorations. We were thrilled to receive countless compliments from our guests about the ambiance, and the different floors really gave the whole night a special type of vibe. The stairs were not a problem for our guests.The food at Deity was outstanding. From the initial food tasting to the reception, every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. We received numerous compliments from our friends and family about the quality and variety of the menu.A special shout out is for the bridal suite – the top floor area that we reserved for the entire day. We cannot understate how great this space was – we spent literally all day there, starting at 10am, for getting ready, photos, etc. It is so perfect and everything you need!We also want to give a special shoutout to the DJ BenHaMeen who absolutely crushed the music throughout the whole evening. The energy and enthusiasm translated onto the dance floor and our guests had an incredible time dancing the night away, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.Lastly, we want to express our appreciation to Anna, the onsite coordinator at Deity. Anna's professionalism, attention to detail, and excellent communication made the entire wedding planning process so much more manageable. She was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance. Thank you, Anna!Truly – our wedding at Deity was an absolute dream come true. It had everything we were looking for – in NYC, inclusive and with character. We highly recommend Deity to any couple looking for a wedding venue that exceeds expectations in every way.“
“The service was amazing. The space invites an almost intimate setting, like eating breakfast in the back of a grandma’s kitchen. The food was excellent, and the server Claudia took great care of all the customers, making us feel welcomed and full.“
“Gottscheer Hall is a fixture of Ridgewood and has been for decades. It does an excellent job at bridging the gap between the old neighborhood and the infusion of the new crowd in a way in which everyone feels welcome. The food is excellent and reasonably priced and their selection of German beer pretty much guarantees something for everyone. The bartenders are also the best in the area, friendly, personable and great to chat with while sipping on a cold one. I've made many memories and friends in that place from all walks of life. I recommend it to everyone. Easy 5 stars. Check it out!“
“My boyfriend and I went out to eat today, we always love supporting small businesses. We decided to check this place out and we loved it, the environment was very nice, the food was great. I loved the drink that I got, I bought the raspberry lime beverage and it was amazing, it reminded me of my favorite childhood drink. I also ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel, it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this establishment to any other couple, we really loved our experience and I look forward to eating here again. The service was amazing as well, I loved everything.“
“Thank you so much to the chefs and staff of Food Trends for a really delicious luncheon for the staff and faculty at our professional school yesterday, a party of 80+. We did a "themed menu" and the chicken, fish, and vegetables were all delicious. So often the vegetable dishes and sides are afterthoughts but the beans and potatoes were scrumptious and perfectly cooked. I appreciated that they brought cards that identified the food items and indicated if the food was vegan, gluten free, etc. (most caterers haven't done that in my experience). The staff who dropped off the food were prompt and friendly. And Kelly, rep from the catering team who assisted me with the order, was helpful and responsive. All around I had an exceptional experience with Food Trends.“
“Ate here twice last weekend. We are hooked! The pork and vegetarian spring rolls are great, the pork and chicken entrees are scrumptious and the baked goods / desserts are outstanding. I can't wait to try the eggplant entee and dishes which come with garlic rice. Extra kudos for the staff. Service was amazing. Our new favorite restaurant“
“I was blown away. I got the beautiful tri-colored tofu with spicy pork and had some of my friend’s perilla seed and mushroom sundubu. You can definitely taste that this tofu is house-made and so special. The staff were very attentive and my overall dining experience was wonderful. I will be craving this again until I come back!“

“What’s the Kitch? Catered my husband’s 75th birthday party for 24 people in our apartment in Manhattan. From my initial contact right through til the end of the party, I knew this was the caterer for us. Jeffrey and his assistant were extremely professional. I loved his “if you want it, we can make it happen” approach. We had a wonderful selection of light bites that were all outstanding. They were prepared and served (and cleaned up!) right at home, making it a very intimate and fun evening. We were so impressed that we have already booked him for our holiday party in December. Five stars all the way!“
“Spacious with a lot of seating availableThe food is ordered cafeteria style where you pick up a tray and tell them what you want. Extra plates,sauces utensils, and wet naps are easily accessible. They have a jug a water you can freely take from as well.The food was amazing. We order the BBQ XL package,which costed $163 after taxes which comes with 1lb of pulled pork 1lb of brisket and 1 whole rack of ribs 4 pieces of cornbread and 4 small sides (we chose mac and cheese and baked beans) the meal comes with potato bread ,pickled red onions and pickles to make some bbq sandwiches out of itThe meal was so filling split 4 ways and definitely worth another visit to try thier other menu items“
“I've used Chris now for three events and have nothing but remarkable things to say about the guy. He's easily the single most professional, efficient and all around best caterer/chef I've ever com across. From planning an intimate 20 person get together to a 4 hour, 150 person rooftop carnival, Chris can take a 30 second conversation and turn it into something beyond your wildest dreams. The man is an absolute legend and the only caterer in NYC you need to consider using. He's sharp as a tack and has a staff unlike any other ready and will to help in any and every way necessary.“
“According to my friend who lives here, Greek is the way to go when you're in astoria. So we ordered some gyros and other delicious bites from Frankys and I was not disappointed. I got the beef suvlaki plate and omg the meat was so flavorful and freshly grilled you could still taste the smoke from the fire. The white sauce was great and veggies were fresh. I'd definitely make this spot a regular stop if I lived here“
“We used Thomas Oliver's Catering for a private event and everyone enjoyed the food. Gary was very easy to work with and flexible with any changes for dietary preferences. He was communicative throughout the entire process and his staff were pleasant and professional. We enjoyed working with them and would recommend it to anyone! Portions sizes were great - great value for money. Thank you!“
“Our Christmas Eve was a huge success thanks to them. Their Chicken Francaise was perfect along with delicious Cavatelli & Broccoli. Enormous portions. And their subs by the foot were the best. Everyone raved about them. Highly recommend“
“These are the best!!! The owner is the sweetest person I've ever met in my life and she really puts her all into what she does and she does it the right way!! So stop thinking about pulling the plug- just do it. You won't regret it!“
“Our favorite place for dinner!!! Ate there three times in four days! The plates and bowls were incredible. Shrimp. Chicken. Avocado. Coconut rice. And the sweet plantains!!! Nicest hostess ever — Catalina is a ray of sunshine! Makes us sad to return to Indiana.“
“We recently had our wedding catered by Pheasant and they are truly the absolute best. Lola and Cat were wonderful during the entire planning process - so communicative, easy to talk to, and thoughtful with all their ideas. They helped us with planning our menu, handled all our rentals for furniture, linens, and serve wear, and worked with our planner to create a timeline for cocktails and dinner that flowed perfectly. We were blown away on wedding day - our tables turned out so beautiful and everything that was served was absolutely delicious. We even had many guests tell us it was the best wedding food they've had! We loved that everything was served family style and featured gorgeous, in-season produce. We are so thrilled with our experience with Pheasant and cannot recommend them enough!“
“It's impossible to sum up into a concise review how spectacular The Liberty Warehouse is. From the breathtaking views, the absolutely top tier staff, and incredible food selection - the LW was by far our favorite wedding vendor (& that says a lot because our day was perfect!)Jeff, we are forever grateful for your guidance and vision aiding us in perfecting our wedding day. Your vendor recommendations, food suggestions, timeline, etc. - I'd trust you with any choice! Hugging you right before walking down the aisle with my father was the cherry on top of being a Liberty Warehouse bride. Andrea - thank you for also always being so comforting, welcome and kind. You answered EVERY silly little email or question we had - big or small. Your energy is contagious and seeing your smiling face the morning of my wedding was all I needed to know our day was going to be perfect. My bridal attendant Alexandra ... where do I begin?! She was absolutely phenomenal. She anticipated my needs, made sure I ate and drank (both water and champagne), removed random stains that appeared throughout the day, bustled my dress in what felt like 30 seconds, and made sure everything was perfect.We knew the food and drinks were going to be fantastic from the raving reviews we heard through family and friends - but the LW blew us away. People STILL talk about how good the food was and I'm sure they will for years to come. From the tasting 2-3 months before, you are hidden on-site and try everything that couple is having that wedding night. Most of the options we ended up choosing for our own wedding, too! (pro tip- get the beef lo mein station!!!) Having our cocktail hour food set up for us with our signature drinks the moment our ceremony ended was such a blessing. We ate and giggled and we were simply in awe at how perfect it all was just before freshening up and entering our reception.The staff at the LW executed an absolutely perfect evening and timeline. They coordinated dances and dinner with our band, ensured the bridal party was where they needed to be and when, and took care of our parents, grandparents, etc. all day long. From the valet and bathroom attendants, to the coordinators and management, and whoever helped gather my belongings at the end of the night - thank you, THANK YOU, thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, our wedding day was absolutely, undeniably perfect. I'd recommend the Liberty Warehouse for any upscale event and can chat about it for hours on end.“
“I recently had a large corporate event catered by CSW and all I can say is WOW! Sean was a delight to work with from start to finish and the attention to details when it came to our restrictions/requests were impeccable. The food was not only delicious but fresh and healthy. I highly recommend using CSW for any event!“

“My friend and I had wonderful dinner at Na RATH Thai restaurant. We shared everything as Thai family styleDecoration is colorful, vibrant flowers and bustling. Surprisingly the ambient sound wasn't to loudDelish, authentic and flavorful Thai food. You can't go wrong with Thai food at this restaurant. Also, I love all decorative and garnishes all dishes with flowers. So creative and beautiful !The service was friendly, had excellent service minded and fastOverall everything we ordered was great. We finished the dinner with a piece of coconut chiffon cake and a piece green tea crape cakeI would suggest anyone when people ask me a good Thai restaurant in Queens“
“Rarely do I feel compelled to leave a review, but I came into this store recently and received outstanding service. Melinda was so kind and cheerful - it really made my day. It’s rare to have such an encounter and she was truly a gem that made me want to become a regular. Not to mention the smoothie was delicious and the store extremely clean.“
“Pastrami is very good. Moist and fresh. The quantity will vary depending on on who is making it but most are decent portions. They also have tasty home cooked dinners, perogis , potato pancakes and other things. But it’s all about the pastrami.“
“This place is very nice but very small. There is one bathroom for everyone and the lights there are very dim. It looks larger on the pictures than reality. We enjoyed our avocado rolls and dumplings on the patio. It is a very limited menu for food and drinks. The positive is that it is very cute and they have a train caboose that you can also dine in on the street.“
“This is the only place in the entire city that I would recommend people go to if they want an authentic New York pizza experience. The slices are massive (take-up-an-entire-plate HUGE), the sauce is zippy and flavourful, and the pepperoni is to die for. I would personally recommend a slice of the pepperoni and bacon, or the Sicilian deep dish. The workers are all very nice and service was quick and efficient. They also have a nice selection of cold drinks to get with your pizza. The joint was right across the street from our hotel so it was very convenient for us to grab a couple slices whenever we wanted. The best bonus is that the place is open late, which meant that we were able to get pizza at about 12:30 at night after catching Billy Joel at MSG. Overall, this is a fantastic pizza place and I would highly recommend it.“
“Jam Cakery made the cake and desserts for our wedding and they did an absolutely fantastic job. The cake itself was delicious and it was what we asked for in terms of decoration. The other desserts were REALLY good, especially the cake pops and tiramisu. Our guests raved about the desserts. Would hire again and we’ll be returning for a cake to celebrate our anniversary!“
“After a horrific day at the airport We were transplanted to The Wyndam Garden Hotelwhere we were " revived "by the over whelmed yet attentive and friendly waitstaff at The Gaur/La Parrillas Bar! We started with fresh guacamole and plantain chips, then the Mixed meat Chaufa !!! For a restaurant full of patrons hangry and paying with airline food vouchers" the waitstaff maintained professional service in spite of being "in the weeds"The meal was prepared authentically, plated to impress, and seasoned deliciously.We quenched our travel stress with "old fashioned" style Margaritas perfectly crafted by the charismatic and entertaining bartender "John" !Please note, we ended up at this restaurant/bar by accident but ended up being truly grateful for a enjoyable and flavor-able meal!Even if you aren't staying at the Wyndam Gardens, treat yourself to a Latin dinner and drink at The Gaur/Parrillas Bar!“
