“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!“

“Perfection! Delicious mediterranean food, great cocktails and fun glassed-in dining area looking over a waterway. highly recommend it. i had a great Caesar salad and tuna tartar with potato chips. Hubby had Garlic shrimp and Swordfish. Delicious.“

“We brought some old friends who hadn't been in awhile. Their response was pretty funny. “What's the matter with us. Why have we not been here.” Spectacular seafood salad special. Cacio Pepe which is the best anywhere in Westchester. Make a reservation. Go. You can thank me later.?“

“Hashonash is a very special restaurant. From the minute you enter, you feel as if you’re in a luxurious location. The menu is replete with interesting options. The food is exquisite and plentiful. The waitstaff is attentive and always goes the extra yard to ensure a wonderful experience.Vegetarian options: There are choices for vegetarians, and the staff is willing to make adjustments.Dietary restrictions: There are choices for every special diet, and the staff is willing to make adjustments, as necessary.“

“Wonderful dinner. Gracious owner. Great creative cocktails and desserts“

“Attractive Moraccan restaurant. Food interesting and well-prepared. Attractive, tasty "Argana Flavors" appetizer. Servers were well-meaning but somewhat disorganized (for instance, they took our drink and food orders on their tablets but the drink order never made it to, or was ignored by the owner who doubled as the bartender; I had to tell him we'd placed our drink orders as he was walking around the tables, he then asked me what we wanted. As I said, disorganized.) I'll still return for dinner, though.“

“A special thank you to Rita and Natalie, who always treat me with kindness and warmth every time I visit Rye Ridge. Your hospitality and friendly service make each visit a delight, and I appreciate you both so much!My favorite lunch spot @cava , conveniently located near my workplace, not only serves exceptional cuisine but also showcases a heartwarming photo of one of my 'silver sisters' from our community, I am compelled to express my gratitude and admiration! It's a wonderful feeling to see our community being celebrated and recognized in such a thoughtful way. Kudos to this fantastic establishment for their excellent food and inclusive spirit - they truly deserve a shoutout!“

“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“

“I want everything on the menu! The food was just wonderful. The ambience is adorable and the servers were lovely. Plus it's pet friendly there were puppies everywhere. Definitely coming back.Dietary restrictions: So many great vegan and vegetarian options!“

“A great homy place with good eats. The souvlaki was nicely charred, bronzini was so fresh, the dessert were a hit and you must try the cheese flambé. Super friendly family run place that makes you feel like you are part of the family. The decor could use an update but there is a certain charm to it.“

“Came back a week later to bring my husband he was super impressed. He's a hard one to please as he is really picky about his chicken parm, but he did LOVE it! I already was blown away by the food, and we haven't even had dessert yet. Ready to come back for more!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Modern on the Rails for my daughter’s bridal shower brunch. I had great feedback on the venue and the delicious food. The staff was attentive and so helpful, my guest’s drinks as well as the buffet selections were constantly filled. The atmosphere is unique and so pretty with exposed brick and beautiful chandeliers. I. borrowed their cart to do a bouquet bar that turned out to be a hit with everyone. The shower was everything the bride to be had hoped for. Thank you to Lori, John, Julianna and Kevin for making this an stress-free, perfect day for us.“

“had 2 kids (ages 5-11) tell me it was their favorite restaurant. The adults loved it too. Solid place. A noticable Greek influence on the menu, and notnin a bad way! Orzo as a side of the main courses (especially the shrimp bowls) is a GREAT addition. Quality, quality place to bring ypur kids on a Friday/Sat night out.“

“This place is amazing! Ignacio and Miguel were wonderful hosts and super gracious. Old school hospitality with a smile.????Food was excellent - try the scallops and the Sea Bass -Yum! Finished off with a great dessert - Flan with chocolate sorbet and a great cappuccino! Great music selection as well - they pumped Gnarls Barkley - Crazy! Called up some friends from Nyack who loved the place as well!“

“Chef Anthony Gonҫalves has done it again! Every single time I dine at Kanopi I am delightfully surprised by his creative, original and delectable dishes that pay tribute to Portugal. Add to that a wait staff second to none in terms of knowledge, generosity and personality, and breathtaking, sweeping views from over 40 floors high in the sky, and you can clearly see why this is my favorite tasting menu in all of Westchester. I’ve had a more pleasurable dining experience at Kanopi than at some of the many Michelin rated restaurants I’ve visited in the New York City.The last time I visited was in the summer so I was excited to sample the entirely new menu. I will admit that with my carb restricted diet, I am a sucker for good bread service that is worth the carb macros. We started with two types of broa, a kind of Portuguese corn bread that had fantastic density and flavor that really handled the bold flavor of the solar almeidnha olive oil. The purple broa was made with purple potatoes. It was beautiful in color and lighter in flavor. Both were grilled and the perfect warm greeting to start a fabulous meal.The pan seared scallop with citrus-quince marmalade and mondega piri piri oil was the perfect texture, soft and succulent, with a nice crisp on the outside from the caramelized marmalade. The piri piri oil is such a fantastic addition to the dish, being a touch spicy, a little salty, but also both sweet and sour. It really brings a nice complexity to a dish that could’ve easily been relegated to the single note of sweetness from the marmalade.The sea bass, marinated in an aguardente, soy, ginger and garlic marinade, was my date’s favorite dish. The fish was firm but flaked easily and really served the marinade well. The game changer, however, was the pureed fava beans with chourico! The chourico brought the spice to really liven up the dish, but was tempered by the earthiness of the fava bean puree, which added a very nice creamy, mouth feel juxtaposed against the texture of the fish.My favorite of the night (by the way, very hard to decide on a favorite), was the grilled octopus. It was cooked to the perfect consistency. The gorgeous burnt-orange colored romesco sauce brought a rich, peppery smokiness. The unexpected pairing with dried, crispy pata negra was genius. The salt and light fat, similar to an impeccably crisped high-end bacon, gave the dish even more interest and intricacy.The whole wheat creste di gallo pork and wild mushroom ragout was another surprise. Cooked in pork fat, without any pork in the dish, the pasta was surprisingly light for a ragout. The robust aroma and dense mushrooms gave the illusion of a hearty, heavy food but it wasn’t at all! Which is good, because there was still a beef dish and three more desserts to go!I’ll skip to my two favorite desserts. One of the most unique combinations I’ve had for dessert was the queijo, a mini seia cheese cake floating in bath of pretty pink pineapple foam with chunks of pink pineapple and pecans hidden in the foam. It could have easily been too sweet, but the pineapple had a touch of tartness, and the richness of the cheese plus the nutty flavor of the pecans cut the sweetness, and made a really lovely multifaceted dessert. My favorite treat however, has to be the bolo de bolacha. This is the stuff dreams are made of. Fantastically rich and sweet, the caramel colored almond cream was fashioned into the shape of golden oreo cookie (it was even imprinted and ridged with a design similar to an oreo cookie). I had to stop myself from licking the plate to get every last molecule of deliciousness! It was paired with delta cafes coffee ice cream and cookies.Clearly, I could go on and on about this phenomenal dining experience, but seeing how lengthy this is already I’ll stop here and suffice it to say this spot has one of my highest recommendations. I’ll be counting down the days until my next visit.“

“This is the sister restaurant to Cafe Alaia, just up the street. Vincenzo Alaia keep a close watch on both venues and sees to it that they adhere to the same high standards. The food here is superb (there's a new chef from Italy who is even better than his predecessor) and though the wait staff (in the absence of the wonderful Cesar) is a bit green and easily overwhelmed, it's still a very satisfying place to spend an evening. Great food, a little overpriced, in a warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“This is the third time we take our food at Fez. Before this we tried meze sampler, baba gannoush and chicken wrap. The food here is very tasty and the portions are quite big. A few days ago we also went to the store itself, there are a lot of interesting products and a great selection of oriental sweets. I am definitely happy with this find and we will go back there more than once. I also absolutely recommend a visit.“

“Although we rarely eat at Turquoise, it is our go-to place for healthy delicious dishes to take out. Chef Mustafa is a master at his preparation of chicken and lamb. Turqoiuse Chicken and a side of Esme are favorite dishes. The TC is consistently tender and flavorful. An annual rite of spring for me is having an alfresco lunch w a crisp glass of white wine with my book of the moment. I look forward to those warm days!“

“Really is 5 Stars. I have been here several times and every time you leave with a smile and talking about the food. The Pappardelle Bolognese, Vitello Martini, Pollo Scarpariello, and of course baked clams. By the way, the broccoli will be the best you ever had. (I know that's a weird call out but you'll understand when you try it) Drinks are great, especially the espresso martini (order it without Bailey's). Service and ambience are what you would expect at a fine dining Italian restaurant...really well done. Not stuffy...just really nice.“

“Excellent authentic food!“
