“We CAN'T BELIEVE we haven't dined here in all these years. With one meal, Traditions has risen to the top. Service was professional and eager to serve. Dinner was tasty, hot, and nicely presented. My wife and I met with the owner Lisa on our way out. Lovely lady!!! We can't wait to come back!! I had the Veal Chop and my wife had the Shrimp with pasta. Dessert was sinfully delicious!!!!“

“Great Food. Friendly service. One of a kind. Definitely going back!“

“Fantastic experience here! Cozy, warm, and with friendly service, and everything we ordered was excellent. Definitely will be back.Kid-friendliness: Go early with a well behaved kid, and they’ll be well taken cars of. There’s a kid’s menu with appropriately priced kids classics, and the staff dote on kids. Just go at the beginning of service, I’d say.“

“There was some construction right outside today (not the restaurant's fault obviously) but the staff was very nice and made sure we sat in a place that was further away from the noise :) The food was really good! And the wait time on the food was not that bad. Would definitely recommend and come back again!“

“The did was fantastic!! We enjoyed the French onion soup, the hot dog and the smash burger!!-absolutely delicious!! For dessert… wow! The pretzels with chocolate syrup were great! Not too sweet, just right!! And the hot chocolate lava cake was wonderful! A great time to spend with friends!!!“

“I ordered the wrong thing and though I didn’t expect them to refund me, they gave me a massive discount on the food I intended to order. Very kind of them. I’ve gone here a lot and the food and service is always exceptional. Great for dine in and take out.“

“Tried this place for the first time today because my daughter wanted chicken tenders and this was the closest restaurant at the time of search. Service was great, even when they had a large party in a separate room. Chicken tenders had more dough than chicken and were over cooked but my daughter enjoyed the challenge. Mixed feelings on the steak tips sandwich... great, tender steak, but 'pepper sauce' was more vinegar than it was pepper. Will try again.“

“Countryside Kitchen was a nice place to go for a great Mother's Day breakfast. The staff were all very pleasant, and the food was luscious. They have a large variety of dishes to choose from, and plates were overflowing with an abundance of wonderful food ?!! If you haven't been there, give them a try, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.“

“Found this spot for lunch as we were in the area and very much enjoyed everything we had! The offerings were abundant, the service was great. Everyone was very kind to us. We got to eat outside on a lovely day. I am very health conscious and was grateful to find an organic, gluten free option restaurant. And better yet, everything was delicious. I wish there was more around like this!“

“Service here is phenomenal. Sometimes it gets a little slow but trust me the food is worth it. It's just a small diner, they do a bunch of homemade baking and it's always a hit. Love the Biscuits and Gravy and the cheddar chive scone is to die for. Everyone's always happy and the two owners really make the experience so get there before 2!“

“great food, location and service“

“My partner and our 3 children just love coming to burger barn! What a tasty treat this place is! The service is always friendly and prompt. The burgers are out of this world, very creative and juicy. Would definitely recommend to anyone that’s craving a burger“

“The staff is very accommodating for my grandmother who is 99 and hard of hearing. They let me pick the table that would be best suit us. Our waiter John was friendly professional, and very patient. We enjoy all that Lexington Cafe has to offer.“

“Very good quality food for a concession stand style burger sandwich shop. Definitely a huge few steps above your average park/beach stand. Has outdoor chairs with umbrellas and a large playground for kids next to it. Ball fields, tennis courts, the manager is kind and professional. Real bathrooms with running water not a beach cafe by any means! They offer kids meals with whole wheat bread, hummus for vegetarians, avocado to add to sandwiches. The fries are good. Ice cream for kids. Nice family friendly place.Kid-friendliness: Anything for kids here! Whole wheat bread options. Great place and playground and fields on site.“

“Awesome date night spot with amazing food and super lively vibe. Cool bar scene and main dining area has a fireplace. Our group shared a bunch of appetizers and starters (oysters and lobster cocktail). The Clam Chowder was great and refreshingly had an appropriate portion of clams. The Big Eye Tuna, which also has spicy shrimp over vegetable fried rice was incredible and cooked perfectly. No question I'll be back. Highly recommend.“

“My family hates trying new places, but Moderne Barn impressed on all fronts. We came for brunch and had a mix of entrees. I had an absolutely delicious burger, with thick-cut bacon that was scrumptious.The space is lovely, with a light, airy feeling and a lot of charm. Parking is also very easy. The staff were attentive throughout and we didn’t have to wait long for our food despite the popularity of Sunday brunch.“

“The food was very good, the service is ok, but the staff clearly wanted us to leave so hovered over the table towards the end of the meal. Not exactly what we were looking for. The decor leaves something to be desired - it is tired and the room is a bit musty. Could use a real refresh asap.“

“I have nothing but fabulous things to say about Mobile Pie Truck. The food is absolutely wonderful. Authentic wood-fired pizza that rivals NY and CT pies, which are already some of the best. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Frank and all of the staff were so warm, friendly, and helpful. Looking for a good excuse to book them again!“

“We walked in early on a Saturday evening to see if they had a table for 4 (after the restaurant we had originally booked looked grim...) and were immediately greeted with warmth and professionalism. They offered to create a 4 top for us in a quiet corner and whisked us to the table. The service and food that followed were both terrific. A great lesson in hospitality. Make people feel welcome and feed them terrific, straight forward food with attentive but not overbearing service and reasonable prices!“

“Making a delivery for Uber which is funny I came to this place for the first time. Looking around I knew that this was a place I wanted to try. So I went back and how amazing is the food. A healthy option for good. I came here twice already and did the hamburger the first time and it was so good. The staff is friendly and always have a smile to help seat and serve you. The food came on time and hot. The second time I went then I had the chicken sliders and man oh man so flavorful. This is a place I would recommend and also take my family to for any function.“

“Love, love, love this place. They are constantly changing up the menu. Awesome food. The carrot ginger soup this past week was amazing! Always look forward to weekend food!“

“The food was great. I ordered the pork chop with spinach and roasted potatoes. The food came out hot just the way I like it. My friend ordered the chicken Mona Lisa. I tried my Friends entree and I will say what I tried was fabulous. I love Norca the bartender and she gives wonderful service. Norca makes you feel like you don't want to leave, she is very welcoming and warm. I like to visit this restaurant when Norca is working. When Norca doesn't work I don't show up and neither does my friends. Very nice decor comfortable atmosphere great vibes all the way around. The pizza is also great too. If you're in the mountains kisco area. Happy eating and Happy dining“

“If you haven't been to this local slot, do stop in! Monday is Jam Night where area musicians play together. It's a showcase of the talent in and around Mahopac and the Hudson Valley.The food is elevated bar food with burgers served on brioche and homemade potato salad.Vegetarian options: Veggie burger“

“I was just at the Muscoot Tavern lastnight and the food was sooooo good. The Service was great. I highly recommend the Muscoot Tavern!!!“

“Hubby and I came here to meet our friend for brunch. It's a spacious, cozy, pleasant cafe with enough room for small and big groups. Alexa was our server. She's fast and attentive. Good! We'll eat slowly. We ordered mussels for appetizer. Then I had a wild fish taco, Hubby had a Village burger, and our friend had a duck quesadilla; I am not kidding; it's a duck quesadilla! Of course, I had my hot green tea! I love my hot tea during brunch or lunch. The mussel was phenomenal! The food was exceptional! We loved everything that we ordered. The homemade creamy sauce that they used on top of my taco was fantastic. I don't usually like creamy sauce or anything with my food, but I definitely enjoyed this one. We want to come back and check out more dishes. Everything's excellent! Thanks!“

“Great Food at very reasonable prices. Also. Great quiet atmosphere..Our family had wonderful time.“

“I used to go here quite often many moons ago, but for some reason haven't been there in quite a while. But was meeting an old friend who lives in New Caanan, and we chose this place. I opted for the Fish-n-Chips which was pretty tasty, but somewhat oily. But I ate every bit of it. The atmosphere is very "dive" bar ish, which is a bit of a charm in itself. We were able to eat our food and enjoy a couple of beers with some good conversation without them trying to turn over the table. After all these years CSE still has tasty food, and I'm sure I'll be back.“

“Everything was great, but I would recommend the place knock down the smell of their floor cleaner. I found it overwhelming throughout the place. Some people like me are sensitive to chemical scents and it conflicts with the aroma of the food and drink.“

“These guys go above and beyond. I live in Phoenix az and they packaged my order so I could take it home on the plane and then when I ordered for my family for valentine's day they separated the portions to go to 2 different places for me. They are great and the chicken francese is just awesome. Thank you guys can't wait to get back there, you're my 1st stop for dinner. ❤️ ?“

“Nice place, excellent service. The scallops were awesome, the baked lobster tails were very good and only a little over-done. They did have trouble not overcooking the snapper, but they were very gracious and accommodating when it didn't work out. Will try this Eatery “

“Such a great dining experience and at a time when they were insanely busy! Wonderful staff, delicious food and excellent service! Ask for Annie A. She was our awesome server!!! I highly recommend this place. Tatiana is very personable and welcoming!Vegetarian options: So much to choose from it's hard to decide! I had the veggie grilled cheese with tomato soup. It was delicious! Will try the eggplant sandwich with vodka sauce next time. The deserts and milkshakes look spectacular and delicious too!“

“Warm & welcoming, and a really nice meal. The turkey meatloaf is off the charts excellent, which is hard for turkey meatloaf to do but you will thank me later. The space feels in need of a modest makeover & the physical menus were a little beat up. I'll definitely be back, but hoping a few of these minor details aren't signs of complacency.“

“We visited The Benjamin for lunch on Saturday. The dining room, beautifully decorated for spring, was quiet with only one other table.We enjoyed the Burrata and Beet Salad, a delightful mix of pickled and roasted beets, hazelnuts, and creamy burrata on a bed of greens. I loved the composition of this spring salad.While the Wagyu burger was flavorful, the excessive dressing on the bottom bun made it somewhat messy to eat. The bun was also cut very unevely, the bottom bun wet from the dressing and there was just too bread on top. DH thought the fries were very salty but I like salty fries.Nevertheless, service was efficient, and we're eager to explore more of the menu on our next visit.“

“The burger was the most delicious in the area! The servers were so kind and elevated our experience through recommendations & replacements for a vegetarian in our party.We arrived 30 mins early for our reserved time and the host sat us down at an empty table, served us drinks, and made sure we were alright (but we were EARLY and they accommodated US - you never see this).What a wonderful place. 5/5!“

“Food was exceptional and our server Santiago was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience for us!!“

“Loved the outdoor deck if only I84 wasn't so close as there was a bit of road noise. Food was great - American Bistro with Mexican dishes. Burgers were too large and cooked perfectly. I appreciate the local CT microbrews. Fun place to have lunch or dinner!“

“Food was good. Service was quick the location is nice but it's a little small. I only had typical El Salvadorian pupusas. They were very good. I would go back for those again but seems like a lot of people came for the soups. Which I didn't try. It gets busy but mostly take out. I would order the Spanish food since everyone there is Spanish. I don't think the Italian side of the kitchen will be as good as the el Salvadorian one since there is not Italians cooking it.“

“This local gem offers well-priced and generously portioned meals. The combination of value and portion sizes ensures a satisfying dining experience without breaking the bank. A go-to spot for delicious food that won't disappoint your taste buds or your wallet.“

“I stopped at the ancient mariner to grab some fried clam strips to go. Folks running the place are very nice. The food was ready on time and delicious as expected because this place was recommended by people working in the area that I know. I will definitely be back here again in the future.“

“We have been going here for years, and have always had great food and above par service. We’ve tried many of the items on the menu and have never had a meal we didn’t love. It’s great for a special occasion, or for burgers and pizza!Vegetarian options: Pizza, bean burgers, pasta, etcDietary restrictions: One of us is gluten free, the other a vegetarian. There are plenty of options on the menu for both of us!“

“The place was packed and we were happy to get a table, as they don't take reservations. Drinks, food, service all very good. Keep in mind, it is basically a pub kinda place with many great food options. We had fun and enjoyed our dinners. We will return!“

“Great food. The appetizers were delicious. We had fried calamari with chorizos in a tomato based sauce that hit all the right notes. The ceviche was smooth, light, and delightful. We brought our own wine. One of the bottles cork broke and the manager was kind enough to remove the broken cork and put the wine in a decanter. Main courses were delicious and the churros and tres leches dessert were out of this world!.“

“first time visitor. food is excellent! Gyro delicious and the tabbouli, perfect! Staff very pleasant, will be back! Do yourself a favor and check it out you won't be dissapointed.“

“I love the Horse and Hound Inn. I grew up 1mile from it. they have great people working here. Sue Val’s the owner is a mother to me/friend. i highly recommend the Horse and Hound Inn!!!“

“Visited One Twenty Three Restaurant after a tennis match. The exceptional waiter made our experience memorable. Indulged in delightful chocolate martinis and savored a delicious filet mignon. Special mention to the accommodating staff for promptly fulfilling my daughter's request for a second serving of pasta.“
