“Incredible Israeli food. Ignore the fake 1 star reviews from individuals who have never even eaten here and came to the reviews to spew hate. The Salatim were on point, the lamb/brisket was incredible, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and had us laughing the whole night. The fries with the tahini ketchup were also incredible! If you complain about the price then you didn’t come to the right place, do your research. This place is priced for the high quality food, world famous chef, and experience. Thank you to the whole Laser Wolf crew! We had gotten engaged the night before and our meal was flooded with extra treats from the staff, they went out of their way to congratulate us and make our dining experience 10/10. A reminder for Google reviewers to limit your comments to the food and your personal experience at this restaurant. Food should unite us, not divide us.“
“From the moment I walked in the Rolos team impressed me with how accommodating they were with the seating for my older father. The experience continued with a warm welcome from the staff and a delicious brunch. Polenta with eggs were fantastico but don't miss a chance to taste the burger. Will be back for that French toast !“
“if you want to have tasteful food in a great location with good service look no further! oysters are super fresh. Egg Benedict in nice variations and the banana pancakes are just a blast!Dietary restrictions: they will ask you prior for allergies etc.“
“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings～The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“
“Wow, what a night, with flavors that can barely be described. They are so perfectly crafted. The almond miso soup packs so much flavor. The skewers are delicate. But the star of the show is the mazemen. I'm not sure I've ever had a dish like this and not sure I'll have one again. Definitely add the egg to give this dish and edge you will tell everyone about. The staff also deserves a shout out as everyone is so pleasant, knowledgeable and they make it seem like they've all been working together forever.“
“Immediately as we walked in, we were hit by an amazing aroma of food to Billie Holiday playing. I was immediately impressed. Service was good, food was quick to come out, and servers were kind and speedy! Would rate this 10/10 if I could, definitely coming back!“
“CHILI has been my recent favorite discovery. It has a beautiful old-world charm and a delectable sichuan fare. LOVE THE FOOD! It’s authentic and delicious! I would say this place is a good choice for a date night, casual meetup, family dining or just a solo meal. It’s kid-friendly too! So many repeat visits here already and I cannot get enough!Ensure you make a reservation before you go. This place can get quite busy especially on Fridays and weekends. During odd hours, you can do a walk-in too.“
“Well, this is a Chinese restaurant that is truly worth visiting. We went on New Year's Eve which shows how important it was to us. The collection of food, how beautifully they are presented on the plate, how cleverly the interior blends the West with the East - these are elements that you should appreciate in person.“
“This top-heavy menu can make the meal’s start somewhat chaotic. By the time the main courses rumble to the table, though, it’s clear that Le Rock’s heart lies in the roll-up-your-sleeves, tuck-a-napkin-in-your-collar bistro tradition. There is steak au poivre, of course, but the peppercorns are pungent pickled green ones and the meat is a big pan-seared hunk of bison filet with a tenderness you never find in beef.“
“wanted to check out a speakeasy while in town and came across the newsroom on tiktok, due to their “stuff your own empanada experience”. nestled in a quiet area of queens, with easy access.lovely speakeasy ambiance with an aerialist performer & live vocal performances. the music they play is all jazzy covers of hit songs, so it fits the vibe so well.the empanadas and the filet mignon taquitos, were so tasteful and delicious.they give you a very decent amount of time to be there, in order to make room for more people. our server Alberto couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating to our preferences & needs while there.would recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back speakeasy outside of the hustle and bustle of the major city or times square.“
“We held a private party at Casa Ora and had a wonderful time. Food was delicious, cocktails amazing, restaurant beautiful and service impeccable. I highly recommend it as a venue. Special shout out to Gonzi (private event host) who was attentive to all our needs during planning and on the night of the party.“
“First time there- and went for a drink. Ryan G was the 2nd person I encountered from the establishment and he was attentive, personable and very cool to watch as he made these unique and great tasting drinks. The drink I had was worth it. I shall return. Thank you Ryan for a good experience.“
“The food was delicious! Had the short rib hummus bowl and the babka. Drinks were well made also. The only thing that left a little bad taste was the way the waitress just dropped the check on our table towards the end and walked off. Felt like we were getting pushed to leave which she could have done more “
“Ridiculously good views of Manhattan and very easy to reserve a table in advance. Drinks were expensive, but understandable as you're paying for the view which you'd struggle to get elsewhere. Didn't receive table service, however, which you'd expect in a place like this.“
“Amazing dinner experience for valentine's day. It was packed when we arrived but were promptly seated as we had a reservation. We had the prix fixed menu which consisted of 3 courses. The apps were amazing and almost stole the show before entrees arrived. We were so taken aback how great they were and couldn't stop raving about ever so tender and flavorful octopus and Cavatelli duck ragu. For entrees, we chose duck breast and the American wagyu steak cooked properly to medium and medium rare and had amazing tenderness and flavors with a beautiful presentation as well.Only minor gripes were the cocktails we had ordered were a tad too sweet and fruity for our enjoyment and we had to switch it up to something off their menu and classics which they accommodated gladly. Service was attentive although it was a hectic night for v day. The desserts could improve and didn't live up to par like the apps and entrees. Flourless chocolate cake was rather dry but Panna cotta was beautifully presented and scrumptious. Overall it was definitely worthy of a former 1 michellin star restaurant experience in my heart. Wish them the best of luck to getting back their hard earned michellin star.“
“A lovely dine-in bar-restaurant in UWS. I have been there during the happy hours (3:30 to 6 PM) and I would recommend the same. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, best for a group or an intimate date. I would highly recommend the Consulate's Old Fashioned which has Mescal. The French 85 is also good.“
“Lobster saffron risotto was yummy. Hubby’s red shrimp spaghetti was apparently rather salty for his liking but this is NY. We find NYC’s food quite salty compared to our food back home.Concierge was very kind to offer us a glass of bubbly. We were severely jet lagged and needed somewhere to quickly grab our supper. So we went to this place as it was near from our hotel. It is not the cheapest restaurant in NYC but food quality (lobster was cooked perfectly), service by Genara and Concierge made our dining experience so memorable.The only downside was the restaurant has two dining areas and we were seated in the most inner part. It was highly rowdy..! I wanted a quieter/ more intimate ambience as the restaurant oozes out this romantic atmosphere. Maybe next time?Will def return.“
“Best experience!! We had a private event at American Brass in January for about 20 people. Everything was perfect! The restaurant is gorgeous, and the food was delicious! We loved the style and atmosphere of the restaurant. Our menu included a champagne toast, appetizers, their amazing focaccia bread, steak frites, the polenta, passed desserts, and a cake. They were also able to accommodate a vegetarian option. It was all so good!! Everyone really loved their food, as well as drinks at the bar afterwards! The staff are all incredibly friendly and accommodating. Tegwyth, American Brass’s Events Manager, was so thoughtful and instrumental to planning our event! She worked closely with us for months leading up to the party and had great suggestions. Ellen, American Brass’s Executive Pastry Chef, made us the most beautiful and delicious cake. Everyone was raving about the cake! Juan, our server, was also phenomenal and went above and beyond. The restaurant is directly across from the Gantry Park Piers, great for photos. Everything was beautiful and polished. It felt fancy and well put together. Highly recommend American Brass and their team for small weddings and events! Thank you again!“
“This is probably our favorite bar in the area. The cocktails are always changing and always delicious. Lisa does a fantastic job and never misses a beat. Also don't sleep on the food. The spicy chicken and truffle fries are phenomenal. It can get crowded because it's so good so getting in early is best to get a good seat. That being said, the atmosphere is lively but chill. Highly recommend it.“
“Williamsburg needed this vibe. My friends and I were in the neighborhood and stumbled upon this place. Had a large party of 10 and they were able to accommodate. Food was 10/10 and atmosphere was 10/10. Didn’t realize they had an upstairs and rooftop as well. Will definitely come back when it’s warmer for the rooftop. Also, I rate bathrooms and give them 10/10, since there were no lines with as busy at it was and they had many. Dane and Josh went out of their way to ensure everyone was taken care of.“
“Otis is a go-to staple in the neighborhood that I bring all of my guests to! I haven’t yet had a dish I didn’t love. Most recently, I visited with someone who wasn’t so sure about mussels. Otis has one of the best mussel dishes I’ve ever had; the mussel-questioner left with a new outlook on how good they can be. Burrata is also a go-to favorite. The bread is made in-house and so delicious…. And the cocktails are fabulous too! The staff and service is the cherry on top. Big love to Otis!“
“I was really excited to finally try this place, had high expectations, and it was just alright. The whipped feta was kinda too thick, almost like cream cheese? Idk I wasn’t a huge fan. Ordered the Barbari bread to eat with it and it was fantastic, but not even feel close to enough bread for the amount of feta (for two people). Then we had the eggplant & yogurt kashke bademjan - I enjoyed the flavor on this but it was a little too saucey for me. Lastly, tried the short rib and definitely liked this one the most. It was tender and flavorful but the combination with beans was unexpected and slightly weird. Our waiter was helpful and attentive, and the atmosphere was fine. We sat in one of the back rooms so it’s sort of tucked away from the rest of the restaurant. Overall this place kind of missed the mark for me!“
“I hosted 25 people here, in the back patio, and Avoca was fantastic. So accommodating, allowed everyone to have separate tabs, got the heaters out, and lent us speakers (it was a trivia night). The food and drinks are excellent (get the truffle fries and the Smokey Oaxaca cocktail!), and the service truly could not have been better. The vibe inside is swanky but chill, cozy and also a little fancy, not like a pub. Avoca is definitely one of my fave UES bars and restaurants.“
“Greeted by Feliko ( hope i spelled his name right), perfect host mannerism, who also happily ended up being our server. Excellent service!We orderedEggs benedict- hollandaise sauce was superbFrench toast- a real thick piece of toast which had a slight crunch on the outside and pillowy soft inside, delish.Ricotta toast - was awful, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Toast was too chewy, bread tasted too hard. And def not worth the price(i believe it was around $15 )Loved their victorian like bathroom decor“
“I had such a great time at Cozy Royale yesterday! I had been wanting to visit this spot for a minute and I was finally in the neighborhood so decided to slide by. Service was excellent, and the cheeseburger definitely lived up to the hype! I have to come back and try the famous martinis, they look sooo good! My one recommendation is to make a reservation especially if you’re coming on the weekend! ?“
“Our first time trying Georgian food. We asked our waiter for recommendations and he suggested the cheese bread, chicken in walnut sauce, cauliflower, mushrooms, and taste of Georgia plate. We added in dumplings. There were 3 of us so we got all the recommendations, all delicious!! He brought us a great wine to pair after listening to our taste preference. Entire staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.“
“What an incredible find! I love Thai food and this is hands-down the best Thai restaurant in NYC. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating and took great care to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Even the chef came out to greet us and make sure he got the spicy levels right for each of our dishes. I had the Pad See Ew with vegetarian duck, which was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend!!!!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian duck (in the pad see ew) is the best I have ever had!!“
“This is a new bar/ restaurant in Bellmore. We were here on Wednesday night for dinner. Our server CiCi was great and very personable. We ordered the fried calamari with a side of Chipotle sauce as an appetizer. 3 out of 4 of us ordered the Heritage Burger and my husband ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese. Everything was delicious. We are back again on Saturday for the Espresso martinis made perfectly by Maggie & Martino the bartenders & another order of that amazing calamari. This will definitely be our new spot for dinner& drinks!“
“A true gem of Sichuan delights sending tingling sensations straight to your taste buds. A sultry and classy atmosphere perfect for a second date or surprise visit from your step-mom — the vibes here are top notch. Recommendations are the Ma Po Tofu (best in NYC) and Diced Chicken with Chili Pepper, both providing a one-way ticket to tingle town.“
“Not gonna lie the food was pretty good, there’s a nice ambiance in the spot, over looking the view of the city from queens but the thing that really did it was the waiter, Gary. Not gonna lie top 5 waiter I’ve ever had an encounter with and I’m a chef in the food industry. If you ever come here make sure Gary is your waiter, I promise he will not disappoint !!!!!“
“I was in NYC for a short visit and was able to find this treasure bar. It has unique Manhattan cocktails like French and Indian Manhattan. The owners are very knowledgeable and great people. Indian shrimp cocktails is delicious. Highly recommended to visit and enjoy the experience.“
“Everything was lovely from the hostess to the buss guys. The food came out at decent time hot and ready to chow down. I have the pralines pancakes which was more than enough( great portion) for one person. The Honeybear on holiday drink was very tasty a little small and lethal. Can’t wait to be back.“
“My friend and I went here last minute as a walk-in and this place did not disappoint. Usually a tequila girl but ordered paper planes & it was really good. The music was fire, they played hits mostly from the 90s/2000s so it was a vibe. Limited food menu but what they do have was decent.“
“As per most of my other recent reviews, I went to this Southern spot several months back. We went here after they had unexpectedly gone on the best new restaurants list having barely heard about the restaurant otherwise. The lighting was nice here and the staff was friendly giving good recommendations. They have ample space as well. The spot has a fun creative cocktail menu which are reasonably priced with some drinks having rather humorous names. I went with the A Complex Cocktail For Bitter People for $15 which is their take on a Negroni with roots of ruin gin, saffron liqueur, and vermouth di torino bianco which was excellent. The cocktail had a nice presentation with the vivid off yellow and the flower and it had a nice balance of bitterness, citrus, and herbal flavors. This was excellent though not on the current drink menu. They also had the opposite named A Bitter Cocktail For Complex People which was their take on a Manhattan along with plenty of other choices. As per usual for food, we split a lot of dishes. For smaller plates, my favorite was the Country Fried Baby Back Ribs for $16 with dill & vinegar and jezebel sauce. This sauce in question contains fruit jelly and combined with the dill and vinegar; it was a nice mix of sour and sweet with very tender ribs which weren't too heavily fried. Excellent. Also tasty was the Hush Puppies for $10 with jalapeno, cheddar, popcorn, and remoulade. They were lighter than expected with a little kick and the popcorn was fun for presentation. I think the remoulade should be on this side and not presented on top but I guess it's more artful that way. OK was the Crab Cake for $24 listed as corn flake crusted with whole grain mustard, radish, and herb salad. It was a bit pricey and the flavors didn't pop as much as the other appetizers. The mustard was a fun spin but perhaps don't order this as this is probably one of the only overpriced things on the menu outside of perhaps the steak. We ordered two main dishes; the Roasted Rib Cap and the Crispy 1/2 Chicken which were both fine. The former for $42 with bourbon worcestershire caramel consisted of a very tender steak though maybe a bit small. The sauce indeed had some sweetness but there was a bit of salt on the steak so it was pretty well balanced. The latter dish for $26 with`bama white sauce and herbs was solid. Tender fried chicken with a fun presentation. No real major complaints though I am not exactly sure if it is half a chicken (probably is though.) The restaurant is also known for it's desserts so we got both to share which are both $12. Of the two, my preference was the Key Lime Tart with toasted coconut and candied lime zest. I haven't had many good key lime tarts in the city and this was excellent as it wasn't too sour or sweet. The candied lime zest on top as well as the coconut just added extra pizzazz. I almost found the latter Banana Pudding Tart with caramel and vanilla wafers to be a bit worse. It was well presented as per the other dessert and it was plenty rich but it was perhaps a bit too sweet with the amount of caramel they put on top. This is a fun spin on Southern food which isn't exactly a cuisine you find commonly enhanced. The desserts and appetizers were definitely better than the entrees but the entrees weren't too shabby either. Upper 3/low 4.“
“My wife and I went on a rare date to Fausto and it was honestly one of the BEST dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The food was excellent, the wine list was extensive, and the staff were so incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive without being overbearing. I would highly recommend!“
“The crispy eggs Benedict is a treat for the morning - the preparation is a bit of an improvement of the poached egg on this classic style Benedict. The French toast perfectly done with a thin outer crisp and fluffy inside. Great way to start the day!“
“Feel a New York vibe in this iconic restaurant. Holders of priority pass get a voucher!my friend had the hummus platter and was pleasantly surprised since this is an airport . I go for the drinks and the bartenders are always pleasant and pour generously. Alexis brought me good luck as I received a great piece of news while sipping a gin and tonic! And Sabin greets with a gentle smile and makes you feel like a VIP.. as wonderful as Bobby vans is- the restrooms across the walkway are the worst welcome to New York - find another location“
“It is always to come back to this great place. I love stuff there and the atmosphere they are making there. Unique drinks, with great flavors you'll never think off. Amazing food, always tasting delicious. Highly recommended to visit while being in Greenpoint.“
“Lovely spot, came for brunch on my birthday. Same great food and great service as always, but I was surprised to find the Yemenite Pancake renamed (which is the best thing on the menu).I always thought they were cool for putting aside differences and shouting out their southern neighbors… I mean, Yemenis food is delicious.“
“929 is hands down my favorite bar in nyc - the place is cozy and full of personality. The drinks are also simply amazing. I highly recommend Not the Melon You Know and Natsu No Breeze if you are looking for cocktails that are refreshing and sweet (but not too sweet)! I also love their fried platter.“
“An absolute gem of a vegan mexican inspired restaurant! Jajaja Mexicana has an amazing menu of so many classic and traditional Mexican dishes, while adding their own spin of modernism! They had so many options to choose from I had to try everything! Everything I had was absolutely delicious! The space was beautiful with plants and flowers! We got here around 6pm without a reservation and it was pretty empty then it quickly filled up around 7pm! The service was amazing; all staff was quick, tentative and overall great! I'd definitely come back whenever I visit the city! ??Vegetarian options: All vegan menu“
“Lilia is our favorite restaurant in New York!! It is worth all the hype and more! Not only is the food fantastic, the service and management team is amazing as well! They have gone above and beyond for us! Anyone looking for an amazing experience, this is the place to go!“
“Ama raw bar is a Gem! Recently had a private event at Ama East village for our wedding after party and the food, drinks and space was amazing. Carly was an amazing resource and helped us cater the food and drinks menu from day one. Would recommend for a night out or an event! Thanks so much team!“
“Natalia our server was amazing , she provided her suggestions with wine options and they were great! She was very attentive and sweet , the place was very clean , food was great suggest the meatballs , Spaghetti Bottorga, Garganelli and Agnolotti.. Enjoy ❤️“
“I was lucky to have received a recommendation for this amazing Mexican restaurant when we visited NYC. For us, this reunion was very important, friends that feel like family and who we wished to pamper. Rika, Chef Zack, and the whole team made us feel right at home. Excellent food and service. A place that, as a fellow Mexican, makes me proud of how our culture is showcased. Thank you all. Can't wait to come back, guys!“

“My cousin had her 40th Birthday here and it was amazing. The manager Glen and his staff were top notch. We definitely kept the bartenders busy. The atmosphere is cute sitting was booths and also high tables & chairs. I would highly recommend this place for a private function. Thanks again to Glen and his amazing team.“
“Nestled between Bryant Park & Park Avenue on E 39th Street, Raines Law Room at The William is a really lovely spot for a great cocktail + a cozy, speakeasy atmosphere. My partner & I came this weekend on a whim for a drink and a bite (after making a quick reservation on Resy) and it was a great experience!! The vibe in this place is so lovely - it’s very intimate, a great spot for a date. I tried the Desert Bloom and it was so delicious!! My partner had the Active Spin for a take on an Old Fashioned and he loved it. We tried a couple bar snacks, too - the Crispy Goat Cheese + Spiced Nuts were perfect small plates for sharing (and tasted so good)!! Similarly to Raines Law Room Chelsea, I highly recommend this spot.“
“I had an incredible experience at Consulate restaurant in midtown Manhattan. The escargot and bone marrow were amazing, offering a true taste of French cuisine. The restaurant's beautiful design and atmosphere added to the overall experience. Okan, our server, was incredibly hospitable, and KAT, the manager, was fabulous and even helped me book an event. I also have to mention the fantastic Martini made by bartender Kiril. This place is definitely a hidden gem. Highly recommended!“
“This is the last Bar on College Point Boulevard & you know what? they're doing a heck of a job to stay around!!! Good laughs, drinks, Food, friendly Jukebox, Pool Table, Bar scenery & neighborhood. i give much props to all the bartenders, Debbie, Claudia, Beckzz & Jimmy.“
