"Majestic Deli is an amazing place to grab a bite. The prices are quite reasonably and the service is quick all day long. I tried the spicy chicken hero sandwich and it was heavenly."

"Great location right in Greenwich Village. They have a covered outdoor seating area that adds a few seats. We didn't have an issue getting seated, though on a weekday night for dinner. They have an outdoor seating area on the street. Despite being outside, the service was still attentive.Sushi plate $25) This included 2 pieces of tuna, 1 salmon, 1 yellow tail, 1 white fish, 1 ikura, 1 tobiko, 1 shrimp, and 1 salmon avocado roll. I picked to have it with miso soup on the side. The sushi wasn't anything special it was decently fresh but nothing to write home about. I liked the ikura and the salmon avocado roll. It was an alright value for $25, but you can definitely get better quality fish elsewhere."

"The coffee was incredibly flavorful and served warm, just as I requested. I also ordered a delicious cinnamon biscuit shaped like a pretzel, which paired perfectly with the coffee. It’s a fantastic spot to grab a nice snack! I stopped by after a bike ride over the Brooklyn Bridge, and there were plenty of outdoor benches nearby where I could sit and enjoy my treat. Great café!"

"For our meal, we started with some fresh oysters and I loved the creative approach of putting the mignonette sauce in a dropper bottle. The eggplant labneh and olives from the mezze menu were also delicious. The heirloom tomato starter with feta was perfectly seasoned with spices and olive oil. For our entrees, we shared the chilaquiles and the green omelette. Both dishes were fantastic. The chilaquiles were great for sharing and the omelette was simple yet packed with flavor. The Smokey tahini that came with the omelette was a nice touch. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience at Lighthouse and I can't wait to go back."

"The Godmother is the best ever. This is my first time ever trying out this sandwiches. The chicken is tasty very crispy the sauce is amazing and absolutely out of this world. Unbelievable. This is gotta be the nest sandwich shop ever. Subway is so lame but this, this will be my go to lunch special. Thank you Gusto!!!"

"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."

"Had a six o’clock reservation before the show. They bring out sliced focaccia with olive tapenade which was delicious. Started with calamari to share it was good. I had the snapper it was nicely done it came on a large bed of spinach. I gave my husband half of the spinach and I still had lots. My husband had the grouper he really enjoyed it. We also ordered a side of roasted potatoes which were good. But had we known the portion sizes there was no need to order the potatoes. We had no room for dessert. We made it to our play Moulin Rouge in plenty of time, it is very close by."
Cheese • Drinks • Chicken • Waffles
"I came here with a buddy to watch the Saints game. This is an unofficial bar for Saints fans in NYC. The vibes were great and there was a live DJ getting the crowd hyped up during the game. If you don’t want to be in the thick of it, you can sit in the back (like we did) and still enjoy the game while also being apart of the atmosphere. The servers were on point and attentive the entire time. The fried chicken on a biscuit and fries were really good. Can’t wait to come back for another game!"

"I was there on a Friday night with couple of my friends visiting from another country, Because we did not have a reservation we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table to open up which made my friends a bit impatient, but they handed couple of complimentary drinks to make up for the wait so it all worked out fine. The food was just top notch. They prepare salads just as you order so makes a alot of difference. We will return as long as we are in New York in our next business trip."
Sushi • Asian • Chinese • Vegetarian
"The restaurant's prices are too high for the quality of the food. I paid $30 for dumplings and fried rice, which was just average. When I ordered takeout, they forgot to include any sauce or a fortune cookie. When I went back to get more dumpling sauce to add flavor to the rice, they charged me a dollar for small, half-filled containers (as shown in the picture). Being charged at all for sauce is frustrating, but charging a full dollar for each container is outrageous. I would have expected to pay around 25 or 50 cents instead."
Pizza • Cheese • Pizzeria • Chocolate
"Nice little neighborhood pizza restaurant for a casual evening meal. Good pizza (we had the Brussels sprout and a custom vegetarian pizza). The custom pizza came out a bit undercooked the first time but the staff replaced it with a fresh one with no fuss at all, and the second one was delicious! Quite noisy but we did go on a Friday night. Not my favorite pizza in NYC but not a bad option either, cute decor in the restaurant."

"Had several allergies and hadn't eaten sushi in 10 years. I did a chatgpt search for restaurants that don't use peanuts in their kitchen this one popped up and I placed an order with several allergy notes and also called them. They were so patient and wonderful and I was able to. have sushi for the first time in a decade without a reaction! Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Dietary restrictions: Allergy friendly!"
Bagels • Cheese • American • Bakeries
"Eating in this bustling bagel shop was a true New York experience. It was almost overwhelming to choose what bagel to get, but you honestly couldn’t go wrong. The Jalepeno Cheddar Everything bagel was arguably the best tasting bagel I’ve ever had I highly recommend trying it! It completely filled me up for about 6 hours, so be careful, it is heavy! If you want to try something new and have a craving for something sweet, order the rainbow bagel with its rainbow cream cheese it’s essentially a sweet bagel with icing in it!"
Thai • Soup • Asian • Salad
"Here's my take on what to order: I highly recommend this place! The service is excellent, the prices are reasonable, and you'll get a generous amount of food for your money. Start your meal with the MANGO SALAD as an appetizer for two, and if you're a fan of shrimp, I suggest the KOONG PAD PHED. It's a bit spicy, but you can ask for it to be milder if you prefer. This dish is absolutely incredible! I haven't come across any other Thai restaurant that prepares the mango salad and koong pad phed quite like this one. If you arrive early, take advantage of their lunch menu, which still offers large portions at a lower price. I hope this review helps someone out there! - Scotty"

"Things escalated when they followed me outside in a threatening manner, trying to “retrieve” the order. One man even started to grab my backpack and got in my face, as if to provoke a fight. A woman blocked my bike with her legs, making it impossible for me to leave this distressing situation. I ended up calling the police, who intervened, and they returned the food, but I lost out on my trip. By the time the delivery was canceled, the customer’s food was likely cold. The staff were unprofessional, resembling thugs rather than businesspeople. I reported the incident immediately, and the police confirmed that they were in the wrong. There was no sense of decorum or remorse from the restaurant. It’s disappointing that Uber and DoorDash delivery drivers kept your business afloat during the city shutdown, only to be met with hostility and aggression. I urge both couriers and customers to avoid this establishment. They are terrible!"

"We loved the atmosphere and ambiance. The only complaint was the background music was too loud and energetic for a brunch atmosphere. I think it would be better to have something more mellow and would fit the atmosphere of the restaurant."

"We enjoyed a lovely Sunday brunch featuring eggs Benedict and an omelette Lorraine. The service was outstanding—truly top-notch. The atmosphere was great, and we appreciated that we were allowed to eat and chat without feeling rushed or constantly asked if we needed anything else. Thank you for that! The eggs Benedict were excellent, and the coffee was hot and flavorful. Unfortunately, the omelette was a bit overcooked and rather dry, but it was likely just a one-time issue. Overall, we will definitely be back!"

"A true oasis of tranquility with delightful Chinese cuisine. This isn’t your average takeout spot; everything is skillfully prepared, and the service is exceptional. The background music is subtle and adds to the atmosphere. We will definitely return!"

"AMAZING!! This restaurant is a hidden treasure in the bustling city. Sal provided exceptional service and personally delivered our pizza to us! The Italian pizza here is the most authentic I've tasted outside of Italy. The bread was superb. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was phenomenal. I highly suggest dining here! I'm seriously considering coming back tomorrow!!"
