“Excellent cafe .Always stop in when its open. Place to relax ,have a sandwich, ice coffee, perhaps a danish or pastry , use WiFi etc. Comfortable.“

“We got a food promo 1 appetizer with 2 entrees for $25 both taste good my fave was the one the had chicken and bacon, we sat at the bar and the girl there was very nice but there was this other guy the came here and there and every time he would come to the bar side it felt like he was being very pushy with us to get drinks, which it made me feel very uncomfortable and rush to finish my food but anyway aside from that everything was good.“

“Best breakfast ever in New York!“

“I don't usually write reviews on Google but I feel compelled to write in support of Lisa, Dan and The Tasty Table. My husband and I are frequent weekend guests at The Tasty Table because we like the food and the way we are treated as guests. I've noticed some less than positive reviews focused on difficulties getting a table during their busiest weekend times. This should indicate to all who are interested in going to The Tasty Table of how wonderful a restaurant it is. My suggestion is to take advantage of the 30 minute call aheads that are offered. You won't be disappointed!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Freddy's Restaurant, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The retro-style atmosphere immediately caught my attention upon entering the restaurant. The owners, Matt and Christina, have truly created a unique and inviting ambiance.To start off our evening, my wife and I decided to indulge in some delicious cocktails. She opted for the spicy martini, which packed a flavorful punch, while I enjoyed a classic old-fashioned that was expertly crafted.For appetizers, I couldn't resist trying the deviled eggs, and they were absolutely divine. The creamy filling and perfectly seasoned eggs left me wanting more. My wife decided to go for the French onion soup, and it was nothing short of amazing. The rich flavors and melted cheese on top created a perfect harmony of tastes.Moving on to the main course, I decided to try their burger, but without the bun. The patty was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. But what really took it to another level was the sweet bacon jam topping. It added a delightful twist to the classic burger and left me speechless.My wife opted for the French onion short ribs, and I must say, it was a game-changer. The tenderness of the meat combined with the unique flavors of the French onion sauce created a taste sensation like nothing we had ever experienced before.Overall, Freddy's Restaurant is a must-visit for any food lover. The culinary skills of Chef Matt are truly exceptional, and the attention to detail in every dish is evident. I wish I could give this place 10 stars because it deserves every bit of praise. Don't miss out on the opportunity to dine at Freddy's Restaurant and indulge in a culinary journey that will leave your taste buds begging for more.“

“I played here for Blank-Fest 2022... great room! Great Staff ...Great Fun!!!“

“I just stopped for lunch. Not from the area and never heard of this place. I work construction all over Connecticut. We were working right down the street. Being pressed for time I decided to stop. I ordered a burger and fries to go. Within 10 minutes I was walking out the door. Food in hand. And I have to say for the same price as a meal deal from McDonald’s I had one of if not the BEST burger ever!! This place is awesome!! I will be back!“

“New restaurant very good food, staff was very polite , for my first time I’ll give 5 stars !“

“Arriving at 6:00 on a Saturday evening without reservations, my companion and I were delighted to be seated at a small booth in the bar area. Great seating, as it was comfortable and felt private. We each enjoyed a special cocktail, and appetizers of delicious cauliflower and truffle pizza and popcorn shrimp (complete with tiny crumbles of popcorn!) We then really enjoyed the chicken pot pie and cucumber and broccoli entre salad. Service was friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Very fine experience. Look forward to returning soon.“

“Delicious food and nicely decorated interior. Bathrooms clean and waitstaff friendly. About eight beers on tap, and others, bottled. Parking streetside or in nearby lot. In May 2024, Libertarian presidential candidate Lars Mapstead met supporters at this location.“

“There's a good reason you see so many 5 Star reviews - this place is awesome! The food is fresh, menu is creative and the staff are v nice. I promise anyone that goes that it won't be their last visit.“

“Food was delicious! Waitress was so friendly. Prices are fair. This reminds me of a mom and pop breakfast spot and I was happy to give them my business! Definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the area! I would definitely return here.“

“Great food , amazing service!“

“We had a wonderful experience having our post-wedding brunch at Mint Premium Foods! We worked closely with Alberta, who created a beautiful, personalized menu with our food and drink selections. The owners stayed on site during the event and were very detailed oriented. Ben and the waiters were attentive and responsive to our requests and even helped move tables so friends could sit together. Alberta played soft background music from the bride's culture to add to the atmosphere. The overall vibe of mint is unique and you feel like you're at a shop/restaurant in the Mediterranean with it displays of gourmet cheeses, olives and bottles of wine.The food at Mint is absolutely delicious, plentiful, perfectly cooked and attractively presented! For our customized brunch, we had four courses: For appetizers, we had family style cheese & charcuterie boards and calamari, followed by individual choice of specialty salad, individual main course and family style desserts (Baklava, Pannacotta, Bread Pudding, Creme Brulee). Everyone raved about the food, from the outstanding cheeses to the Wagyu meat burgers, sandwiches, salads, Moroccan chicken, risotto, etc. We highly recommend Mint for a meal or a place to host a special event!“

“We had a wonderful experience and meal. Fresh food. Great wait staff and friendly.“

“Wowsa what a meal!!! Friends had posted beautiful pics of their meals from their tasting menu. It's cute: half the restaurant is a traditional dining room and the other is take out fish and chips. You can have a delicious meal a la carte or the tasting menu. I could not convince my husband to do the 15 course chef's tasting menu. But we did do the tasting menu with wine. Every dish was light, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. We enjoyed the wine pairings which were different (portuguese and spanish wines rounded out some American and South African wines). I am excited to come back to try more of their traditional menu and their namesake (fish and chips). Well worth a visit.“

“This review is about Cafeteria at Stone Barns: Lunch Tray. They have one daily menu featuring their produce from the farm. Lunch tray is consist of small plates priced around $50, which sounds a bit pricey for the portions, but I assume the ingredients are fresh and high quality. When I went there, the lunch menu was some pickles, cured meat, taco and bread - everything was sour - even the dessert looking cake was sour. Balance of the meal was a bit disappointing, so got a small apple for $2, which was soggy and bruised inside, but I liked their coffee.It is a beautiful place for a getaway from the city - an hour drive from Manhattan. The lunch tray could be hit or miss since they only offer one set menu, which you don’t know until you get there, but they have pretty outdoor tables surrounded by nice garden. I would come back for another try later.“

“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!“

“Joey's Sports Bar & Grill is the best bar in the New York area. Neighbors, friends, and the community get together, laugh, enjoy themselves, and listen to live music in this warm friendly atmosphere that feels like home. Food is great, drinks are great, and the service is great. Tuesday, Thursday night jams with bands and Fridays, Saturdays bands play. Joey’s has got it going on.“

“Food was good. The service was not. Our waitress did not smile much. She was playing with her cell phone when I approached to the service desk with computer and other billing stuff. She name starts with a C.I observed how she treated other customers, she was not warm nor smile either. I told myself, it was not me.“

“Great local place for lunch, after work, whenever, or like we recently did - take out. Friendly staff. They have been a mainstay of Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow since forever.Kid-friendliness: No loud music, not a "bar scene" with rowdy customers.“

“I've only eaten there once, but I can see myself visiting again. Service was very good, and friendly. The "Alvin" Grilled Chicken Sandwich was tasty, though the Chicken was a bit chewy. The French Fries were very good. The menu looks very ambitious, and I look forward to trying their other offerings. The bathrooms are tiny, but clean! It's a safe bet that you'll get an enjoyable meal at Strawberry Place.“

“I have been to some great places but this is the best place I've been to in New York, hands down. Every single menu item was AMAZING! Farm to table at its best. And the chef is a super friendly great guy and the waiter was awesome. My new go to spot!“

“Thank you for being so professional and delicious! My son made a mistake and made a reservation for Monday at 12 instead of Sunday ( Mother's Day ). Not only did they arrange a table, I was greeted with "Happy Mothers Day" by everyone and receive a free Mimosa. On top of great food and service, attention to detail is everything. Thank you!“

“their salads & pizzas are great!“

“We tried the breakfast burrito, strawberry pancakes and avocado toast. All tasted really good! Oh and the fresh baked muffins and croissants were delicious too!“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food at great prices“

“Great experience at Kee Oyster House. I booked a reservation for 11 people for the same night and had to change the time and number which they easily accommodated. We had a table in the front and ordered oysters, tuna tartare, and scallops to begin with. They have a great list of cocktails and everyone enjoyed the gin and tequila specials. They also have a nice wine list both by the glass and by the bottle. I ordered the branzino and we ordered family style sides of potatoes, creamed spinach and broccoli - believe it or not the broccoli was a standout! Service was great, they kept water glasses filled and brought bread to the table. At the end of the meal we waited a bit for the check but otherwise we had an outstanding experience with service and food. Ambience is also great, with industrial lighting and chic but accessible decor. It was a bit loud but we were a big party so that probably contributed. Highly recommend!“

“Really nice neighborhood bar and grill.Place is close to local business and a few highways.Went there at lunchtime with three others. We all had some type of cheeseburger. Food was really good and we all enjoyed.Place is very clean and there is paper towels in the bathroom to dry your hands.Server was very nice but everything was very slow. Time to take an order was slow, the time the food came and getting the check.“

“It was Great recommended for all ages“

“Great to return to The Turning Point, this time for Bill Kirchen (played with Commander Cody years ago) bringing his rockin' show to Piermont, NY. Easy to park across the street( big lot by the pier and condo complex). Kim was my witness and a delight, best service. Small comfortable room for listening and dinner if you want. Me. Just needed some tasty salsa and chips! Great time was had@“

“We had an amazing dinning experience at Otto’s. Not only was the food scrumptious, but the service team was also impeccable. They really went above and beyond to make our whole experience unforgettable. Our server William and his helper were attentive, accommodating and made our night of celebrations a special one. We will definitely be back!“

“The Candlelight Inn is an awesome spot for tasty food that's quick to grab and super delicious. They've got amazing wings, waffle fries, and burgers that are just out of this world! It's the perfect place to hang out with friends and enjoy some top-notch local eats. You won't be disappointed!“

“Went here with my Mom and Sister for Mother's Day. Never been before. The food was out of site! Everything we ordered was incredible. Service was great. Everyone was kind, attentive, and accommodating. We sat outside and enjoyed watching ppl prep their boats for the season. Such a nice ambience. Definitely recommend.“

“Arriving at 6:00 on a Saturday evening without reservations, my companion and I were delighted to be seated at a small booth in the bar area. Great seating, as it was comfortable and felt private. We each enjoyed a special cocktail, and appetizers of delicious cauliflower and truffle pizza and popcorn shrimp (complete with tiny crumbles of popcorn!) We then really enjoyed the chicken pot pie and cucumber and broccoli entre salad. Service was friendly and attentive. Prices were very reasonable. Very fine experience. Look forward to returning soon.“

“Our family has met here for years. Solid restaurant. Good food, kid friendly. Lots of areas for that group of 10+ without feeling you're on top of the table next to you. ,$16 for 8 wings seems a bit much, but I'm cheap. Keep on keepin' on!“

“Food was excellent, loved the Rigatoni with a nice Red vino. The potatoes and fries we had were great. Service was super professional and quick. Really pleasant ambience and setting. We don't go too often because it's $$$ but we willingly certainly be back soon!“

“The first Original Pancake House I visited was in Woodbridge NJ. And I left a raving review for them. The managers came to personally greet us and welcome us and they gave us a run down of items on the menu. This location had the same good food. Everyone was polite and courteous but Woodbridge went that extra mile.“

“Great spot!!! This place is easy to drive right past but it's definitely worth checking out. Professional friendly staff, nice decor with art the pays homage to the local Westchester area, and the food is delicious. This place definitely has its "regulars", but I've never felt unwelcome. Check this place out if you find yourself in the Thornwood area. Enjoy!“

“Was in town for a wedding and stopped here on a whim for a quick bite. Hands down the BEST avocado toast I've ever had!! Generous amounts of avocado, arugula, and feta, with just the right amount of zing from the lime juice. The eggs were cooked perfectly. I'm not even from the area but would make a trip back just for the avocado toast!“

“Kelly’s has the perfect formula for a hometown local bar. The staff and patrons welcome everybody. No matter how packed it is. The Basar always serves everyone within five minutes. The food is genuinely good and consistent. The atmosphere is always inviting and welcoming. You cannot go wrong going there for a drink or two.“

“Great atmosphere very nice and attentive wait staff would definitely visit again“

“Gigante is a wonderful place to have a special event. The food, service, and staff are all great. Professional and kind people to work with who really pay attention to detail and the needs of what their guests want. My baby shower and birthday party were a success and everything I asked for! Thankful for Gianna who managed it all and came through at 100%!“

“Some of the best greek food I've ever had in my life!!! On top of that, definitely best customer service I've ever experienced. Some of the nicest people I've ever been served by!!!! Would 100% recommend this place and will definitely be going back frequently from now on! Thank you guys!!! - Jason G“

“Black Cat Cafe was awesome! Came in just as they were opening on a Sunday morning with my 2 year old. Service was great, and the person working was very accommodating of the young kid. Highly recommend getting breakfast here and then checking out the framers market just up the hill. Parent pro-tip, the Ivington location for the farmers market is right next to a playground.Kid-friendliness: I'm definitely calling this one kid friendly. They even had some toys on hand. Also, other patrons were not put off by the presence of a young kid.“

“Food was great! Service was greatI had the lobster roll with Broccoli as a side, it came with coleslaw as well (I don't even really eat slaw but this was pretty good).Lobster roll was loaded and flavorful. Broccoli was good as well, a tad bit salty.I also ordered a dessert to go because I was so full. I got the creme brulee which was great as well.He also gave me a little Berries and cream dessert since it was my birthday❤️Restaurant was a tad bit cold“
