"We started with crostini, which included flavors like tomato and basil, goat cheese, and white bean—everyone particularly enjoyed the white bean variety. One of our friends ordered the kale Caesar salad, which they liked, while my husband thoroughly enjoyed his gnocchi. The tagliatelle ai funghi was delicious but a little too salty for my taste. The panna cotta was visually appealing but lacked the flavor I had anticipated; it was also unexpectedly firm, without any wobble, although it thankfully didn’t have a rubbery texture. Overall, the service was attentive without being intrusive, adding to the pleasant dining experience."

"Came to Roosevelt Island to try the tram and enjoy the cherry blossoms, which was in full bloom. On a gorgeous day, Roosevelt Island is pretty enjoyable. So enjoyable that you forget you have walked quite a bit and you get hungry. We walked by Main Street, passed the flea market, and chanced upon this Greek resto. We had the fish chips, shrimp po boy, and shrimp grits. They were pretty good filling. Hearty huge portions?Took a while for the food to come, ergo one star knocked off. There are indoor and outdoor seating, a bathroom for patrons to use. Our server was so nice. We sat there for a while just yapping away, and they didnt shoo us out. They have desserts by the main entrance and we wouldve tried had we not been embarrassed to have forgotten the time???. Come by if you happen to be at RI."

"Cool place with a casual chic atmosphere. Not too trendy, not too classic, just the perfect mix. Vichy tablecloths, red leather seats, copper and wood. Fun monkey illustrations on the wall. The room in the back is a bit fancier. Good cocktails, decent selection of wine. Live piano when we were there on a Saturday night. Service was not enthusiastic but good enough."

"I had dinner there with my family after receiving rave reviews of the restaurant. Our server was very nice, but marginally incompetent. He didn't know many details about the menu when asked for details. One of the starters was served without any of the 3 ingredients (olives with canned citrus and fried parsley - served without the fried parsley - not the waiter's fault). The waiter presented the special as an appetizer, but it was actually an appetizer. My main course (or should I say "starter") was served about 5 minutes after the rest of my table had already served their main courses. I was able to order another main course when it was clear that I had ordered an appetizer, but by then the rest of the table was done with the main course. The rest of the people at my table enjoyed the food and the beers were delicious, but overall my experience was not great."

"The Tagliatelle had a flavorless bolognese. The Spaghetti Pomodoro was very bland. The squid ink pasta was okay. It had far more flavor than the other sauces. The salad was the absolute best thing I ate. The vegetables were cut perfectly and the vinaigrette was delicious. The crostini with the salad was equally delicious. There was no plastic ware included. They should also include Parmesan cheese"

"Went there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and everything was amazing! The cheesecake was like heaven on a plate, creamy and light enough to make the perfect dessert, even after a heavy dinner. For breakfast I had their Lumberjck meal, which had 2 griddle cakes that were so fluffy, and came with bacon, sausage, and your choice of home fries or grits (I got the grits). For lunch I had the Reuben sandwich which was packed in with corned beef, but again, so delicious! For dinner I only had the disco fries with the cheesecake. All of it was *chefs kiss*. The staff were super friendly and the restaurant has a Brooklyn theme (as that's where the original location is from) but it made me feel super welcomed and at home. I would absolutely recommend and definitely go again!!"

"The E10. Prosciutto and Burrata with Fig Jam was fantastic and looked exactly like the picture, which is rare, so I was really impressed. It was also a substantial sandwich, which was a nice surprise! Great value for the money. The bread was a bit soggy upon arrival, but the delivery took a while because the driver had another drop-off, so I’d suggest that if you live far away or if there’s heavy traffic, the bread might be a little damp. Otherwise, I highly recommend it!"

"The food is a three, the service is a five, so I’ll assign four stars. No-frills pub with pub staples like fish n chips, shepherds pie, hot chicken sliders, crab dip, tater tots, fries, burgers, and other types of sammies. I had the smoked Gouda Mac n cheese (wish I had remembered to ask for bacon). It was hot and creamy, but I think it could have used some seasoning. I also had the Nashville hot chicken sliders. I understand what they were trying to go for with the breading, but my patties weren’t terribly cohesive, and the breading fell off after a couple bites. I had the cucumber cooler, the Paloma, and another drink at the recommendation of my server. All of them were pretty good, especially at 15 dollars, but none were breathtaking. My server was understated, but very attentive. She gave me recommendations on the menu. And when a large 10 top was sat right next to my single table, she astutely noticed how that might diminish my dining experience and moved me right away. Prices were very fair, especially given the area. Most things were 12-15 dollars. The most expensive thing is the fish n chips at 23 dollars. Would I got back here again and again? Nah. It’s basic bar food and decent drinks. But the service was excellent and it was a convenient snack on a long day out. I definitely don’t regret stopping in."

"Picked this spot for a client lunch. Couldn’t have been more pleased. Great service, beautiful tasty drinks and delicious food to boot. Great sharing menu options. Ordered every dim sum on the menu and nothing was a miss. Only wish they served the Duck and short rib for lunch… just means I’ll have to come back for dinner. (Made reservations already)."

"Great atmosphere and ambiance. The setting for outdoor dining-along the river with a wonderful deck and patio-makes for a wonderful summer dining experience. Our waiter was excellent. The food was very good, but not amazing. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Bend."

"After years of indulging in premium chocolates, I didn’t expect much when I ordered from Li-Lac. I was completely mistaken—this chocolate is extraordinary. The milk chocolate is, without a doubt, the best I’ve tasted in over 60 years. It’s creamy, rich, and incredibly satisfying. Despite my initial concern about the smaller size of the bar, it truly hit the spot and satisfied my chocolate cravings like nothing else has in years. Although I can’t comment on the customer service, I found the online ordering process to be simple, and my order arrived within just a few days. The cold pack didn’t quite make it intact from New York to South Carolina, but that didn’t affect the quality of the chocolate at all. As long as they keep making this delicious chocolate, I’ll continue to place orders!"

"My colleagues and I had reservations at 12 noon and was seated promptly. Since Burmese restaurant are rear in the area, we were really looking forward to this experience. While we weren't in a hurry, the restaurant was. Drinks were ordered and they pushed to have a food order at the same time. We choose to wait to order the food until the drinks were brought to us. We ordered the Burmese style beef and goat stew as well as the Moh Hin Ga (Fish Noodle Soup). While the sauces of the meat stews were nice, it wasn't spectacular! The stew meats were definitely not tender. If you enjoy tough meat, then these dishes are for you. Additionally, the Moh Hin Ga was lacking in flavor and in my colleagues words: "would not order it again". Also, soft drinks and iced tea and refilled complimentary. Given the rush and the below average experience, will not be going back. Given there their great Yelp ratings, there seems to be a lot of patrons that like it. Maybe we just attended them on a bad day or the normal Chef was not present that day..."

"This is my go-to spot for lunch delivery in the Financial District. The sandwiches are consistently delicious and delivered quickly with a friendly attitude. The portion sizes are just right - not too much, not too little. I highly recommend trying the pastrami Reuben, the hot roast beef sandwich with mozzarella, and the Italian hero. And if you're in the mood for something sweet, don't miss out on the apple turnovers. Just be sure to get there early before they sell out, as they are baked fresh daily."

"The food was delicious, service was impeccable, and they took great care of us for my husband's birthday. Loved the signature scampi pasta and the red snapper ceviche especially. Highly recommend! And a shoutout to Lera behind the bar who is fabulous and so knowledgeable. A terrific experience."

"This is a lovely old world Italian restaurant that reminds of another time. It was a snowy day and the restaurant wasn't crowded for lunch, but the food was great. The bread was fresh and delicious. The homemade minestrone was light and fragrant. The shrimp were excellent. It was my girlfriend's birthday, and our waiter, on his own initiative, brought a delicious dessert with a message in chocolate. We will come back in any case."

"Caviar Russe has become one of the top high end restaurants to dine at in the entire city. There is certainly no better place to go if your a caviar lover. I've eaten here a handful of times over the years and feel that the experience has gotten better each time. The room is beautiful, the service is impeccable, and the food is outstanding. Also Caviar Russe has just taken space on the first floor that is a little more casual than the second floor dining room. I look forward to trying downstairs next time. In any event this restaurant is highly recommended and a must try!"

"Wonderful relaxed ambiance, romantic and great service. Offering general Mediteranean foods such as humus, we were more interested in the specifically Afghan dishes. Hubby adored the lamb shank with saffron rice. I found many vegetarian choices including Kudu (pumpkin w yoghurt available without meat), Sambosa (pastries with chick peas that remind me of British pasties, my favorite). The desserts were absolutely decadent. I had the mini chocolate cake and hubby had the custard flavored with cardamon and rosewater. Fantastic! I have already recommended Nora to 8 of my friends. We drove 1.5 hours to eat here but we will be back."

"I made a reservation for 7:30. It was my son's birthday. We also stayed at the River Crab Hotel. We sat at 7:45 am. At 8:05 a.m. nobody had come to our table. Had to ask for water and 8:15 a boy brought us water and said he would send a waitress. 8:30 no waitress got up and told the hostess to please send a waitress. 8:40 no one yet. Each waitress distributed the table like we weren't even there. I was so upset we got up and left the restaurant and went somewhere else. There were four of us and my son's birthday was totally ruined !!!!! I have never been treated so badly in a restaurant in my life. I will be sure to tell my friends about the terrible service we received. NO apologies for this kind of service !!!!!!!!!"

"This is one of the few Sichuan restaurants in midtown Manhattan, and it's worth a visit if you find yourself in the area and craving good Chinese food. While it has received quite remarkable reviews, I found the interior to be a bit lacking. The food, on the other hand, was solid; I have a feeling they do a great delivery business, even though we chose to dine in. We decided to share an appetizer along with three main courses: Kung Pao Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, and String Beans with Eggplant. This was probably more than enough for two people. The food was typical Chinese fare but prepared very well. The Kung Pao Chicken featured Sichuan peppers, which can cause a numbing sensation on the tongue, but it was packed with fantastic flavor. This place leans towards the pricier side, even for midtown standards. It has a nice ambiance suitable for a work lunch or a date. As for myself, I likely won't return, but that's only because New York has so many outstanding Chinese restaurants. Unfortunately, this one doesn't make the cut for my list of repeat visits."

"This place was super cool if you like history. My head was turning in all directions just looking at all of the history. Every room is amazing and you feel like George Washington is going to come around the corner. We only stopped in for a drink and asnack. We mostly wanted to see the place. We tried the scotch egg and it was probably one of the best I’ve tried. Usually theyare kind of dry but this one was moist, cooked well and had a great flavor. Our server was better than most NY servers we’veexperienced on our trip. She actually talked to us, made good recommendations and returned to see how we were doing. She eventold us they have live music and we should come back. Overall it was a nice experience and I bet it would be a fun place tohangout if I were a local."
