“Service is okay but not great but food is very good”

“We had an event catered at Callies back patio, the food was superb, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive, drinks were good and plentiful! If you’re looking for informal outdoor location - Callie’s is the place for you. The best!”

“I was visiting friends in NY, and on the day of my return to FL, my girlfriend took me to Panino Rustico, where I met JACK, he was excellent and authentic New Yorker, with accent and all (adorable).. The menu choices are excellent, we had truffle fries, I had the P48 Panini (steak, mozzarella with peppers & onions) and to cap off as a desert, I had the Iced Nutella Latte... All were excellent. I love a Hot Panini and it was perfect, flavors were cheesy perfect. Even the ambiance was charming and the Service was impeccable. I truly cannot say enough. So when you go, say HI to Jack!! The address is 161-16 Cross Bay Blvd., Howard Beach, NY 11414”

“Holy moly , can I eat here everyday of the week? What an incredibly perfect meal that was so well thought out and presented. Everything was incredibly fresh and prepared to truly showcase the flavor of the fish!”

“Beautiful food and very sweet people! Came here for a birthday and they really took care of us from start to finish. Such a lovely evening! Can't recommend enough”

“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.”

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!”

“Great and delicious pizza, excellent friendly customer service and cool space.”

“Wow! 🔥 This place was absolutely incredible.

The food was beyond delectable—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. And honestly, the food deserves to be mentioned twice because it was just that good.

The service struck the perfect balance between warm, welcoming hospitality and true professionalism. The atmosphere is the ideal blend of chic and rustic, creating a cozy yet elevated dining experience.

We had a small mix-up with our reservation, but the manager handled it graciously and quickly got everything sorted out, which made an already great experience even better.

Part of me wants to keep this gem a secret, but it’s too good not to share. Then again, I don’t think they’re hurting for customers—they were completely packed on a Monday evening, and after dining here, I can see exactly why.”

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.”

“My husband and I have been going to Daphne’s since we moved back to Brooklyn. While food and service have been excellent without fail, Jackie is who keeps us coming back month after month. Her warmth, kindness, and knowledge are unparalleled, and we can’t imagine having a better time at dinner with anyone else.”

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!”

“Lived nearby when this unassuming place opened and we were very impressed. Excellent food and very professional service each time we went which became often. Not surprisingly this great restaurant has outlasted its notable nearby neighboring spots. We always felt welcome and got good value for the money. Now I wanna go back soon!”

“SERVER AT CAFE ERNESTO'S WHEN I WAS IN MY MID TWENTIES. I STILL DREAM OF THE VAST DESERT MENU PASTA BOLOGNESE AND SPECIALITY ESPRESSO AND CAPPUCCINO DRINKS. THANK YOU AND GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. NANCIE LEE DAVIS-HERRERA PREZA I”

“Had a fabulous first time at Il Gigante. Sat at the bar - shout out to Matthew and Kayla for taking such good care of us. Great ambience, not too loud, but still a fun atmosphere. Food was exceptional. The pasta and all the ingredients were fresh and portion sizes were hefty! Great price for the food and drinks. Just all around fabulous! Cheers!!!”

“Great Thai restaurant in downtown Brooklyn fort green park.”

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service”

“Great food and very friendly staff!”

“Love this diner. It's small so it feels cozy and the all the people are sweet and warm from the woman at the cash to the waiters, just a pleasant vibe overall. The food is standard diner stuff but on the consistent side all the times I've been there which is all you can ask for really.”

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.”

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅”

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!”

“Probably best hot dogs i’ve had. Been here a couple times. They’re thick and very juicy. I’ve had the chicago style, new york style , and chili dog. Their chili is spot on! Service is amazing as well. got to meet the owners Joe and Jay, very friendly and humble. A++”

“Really good flavors! The tuna toast and leek salad were highlights. Also had the bottled pilsner which was great. Love the space and service as well.

Two notes: 1. I felt the “light” cocktail was a bit too watered down 2. The lamb dish is super flavorful but steep at $50 given portion size”

“Had a group dinner for a friend's birthday and absolutely LOVED the place! The ambiance was so cool and I could have stayed there all nice. Friendly attentive service. Great neighborhood spot!”

“Hart’s has been one of my go to restaurants in the past couple of years. Love both of their sister restaurants in Manahattan. Food is always amazing and service is excellent. Their clam toast is delicious and their sharing plates are some of my favorite in NYC.”

“I recently had a delightful dining experience at Leland Eating and Drinking House in Brooklyn. Starting with a refreshing porter beer from the tap, I then savored the incredible Japanese sweet potato, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Porchetta Sandwich with ZA'ATAR CHIPS. Encased in their soft and freshly made bread, the sandwich was a symphony of flavors, perfectly complemented by the crispy and tasty house-made chips. Each bite was a testament to their commitment to using high-quality ingredients and crafting memorable dishes. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, making it a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy exceptional food. I look forward to returning to Leland Eating and Drinking House to explore more of their enticing menu offerings! 10 star review!!!”

“Good place, to eat dinner, everything you want and good French wine.”

“They accommodated our walk in party of 4 around 6pm on a Saturday and told us we had an hour and 45 before their reservation (plenty of time!) even gave us their “favorite table” in the house. Buzzy, great music, and overall vibe. Highly recommend!”
