"As is my tradition, I ordered the lasagna, which serves as a good benchmark for any restaurant that specializes in Italian cuisine. The lasagna was creamy with a nice sweetness from the ricotta, but I found the sauce to be somewhat sweet as well, and the cheese was under-melted. I believe the dish would have benefited from a bit more garlic, a touch of more acidic tomato, and a stronger infusion of oregano to balance the sweetness of the ricotta. Other members of my party ordered beef dishes, which were cooked slightly over but otherwise offered very satisfying flavors and sauces. I would recommend Serafini to anyone visiting Frankfort, especially after a bourbon distillery tour or a day at the Kentucky Horse Park."

"I wanted this place to thrive, but In the last year, dwindling stock and several entirely empty shelves has overcome this mini-market. If you talk with the lead worker there..... the empty shelves are because of the pandemic and problems acquiring stock from our supplier. However, every minimarket or even the smallest liquor stores in the immediate area have fuller stock and range of goods at cheaper sales prices.. Example..... no more milk products, no more bread, no more etc etc etc. So i am completely not buying their answer/excuse of supplier issues . If it 's a supplier problem, get a new supplier....... so simple."

"Well, eating in for the Chinese food was rather disappointing, service wise. We received our water glasses and then ordered our other drinks and food at the same time. Our hot and sour soup was as delicious as the last time I had it, but it came out before our drinks. Then the fantastic crab Rangoons came out, again before our drinks. Next came our 2 awesome sushi rolls (tiger and jazz), again before our drinks as well as the chopsticks typically used to each sushi. Upon requesting our drinks again, my husband's beer was promptly brought out in the bottle with a pint glass on top. No apologies for forgetting the beverages and offer to pour the beer. Waited a little while longer for my hot sake. This was some of the worst sake I have ever had. I have enjoyed it plenty of other times at various locations, including this one and this was just bad. Finally, we received oit entree of general tsos chicken. Again this was some awesome chicken! BUT, apparently they were short on the fried rice and were in the process of making more. Unfortunately, it didn't make it to the table before we were finished eating and the chicken was cold. Not sure if they were shirt staffed, if our waitress was having a bad day, or what. Next time, we will get it to go. The food is 100% worth getting again, we just will not eat in again."

"Last night we had a party of three and decided to eat in Ruven's. We've been having breakfast for a long time and last night, for the first time dinner guests. Our server was attentive and accommodating. Our meals were served, a dinner was unacceptable. Half a roasted chicken was boiled and the green beans burned. I decided to discuss this with the manager. When I told him that the meal was overcooked, he informed me that he saw my wife cut into the chicken and told me that the white meat of the chicken will be dry. That was an interesting feedback considering that they were busy, and he never saw our way. I found his comments unacceptable, and an apology was never offered. In addition, we were calculated for the side salad and ice tea that was part of the dinner. That was also unacceptable. A manager who does not accept feedback tells me that I'm basically wrong doesn't belong to the business. This was our last time we feed at Ruvens and I will share our experience with friends and family. Totally unacceptable and insulting behavior. There are many other ways to eat in the area and lose customers will not build your business when you take care."

"I’m not someone who usually goes to higher end restaurants, so this was a pretty unique experience. They do have animal skins and similar decor throughout the place, which is less than ideal. however, they do have a vegan and vegetarian menu. I recommend getting the guac, it’s filling and a good start to the meal. personally, I wish I would’ve asked for them to add more seasoning. so, don’t be afraid to taste test and give honest feed back! I got the veggie paella, and I wasn’t a huge fan. my sister got the margarita flatbread and really enjoyed it. my mom got the enchilada verde, which was delicious! make sure to clarify your vegan preferences when you order."

"Yesterday, my cousin and I dined at this restaurant for the first time, and we were truly impressed by the decor, service, and delicious food. Our waiter, Simson, was incredibly attentive, friendly, and quick. All of the appetizers and main dishes were fresh and flavorful. We started with shumai and gyoza, which are pork dumplings, and for our main course, we enjoyed crunchy tuna and crab rolls, a volcano roll, a shrimp tail roll, seafood fried rice, and General Tso's chicken. The restaurant's interior exuded a cultural Japanese ambiance, with beautiful furniture, art, and seating. We will definitely be returning to this place again; the food and service are outstanding."

"Exceptional food in an authentic, non-demanding environment. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful, which added to the great experience. For bread lovers, there are 3 different breads, all of which are made there and are all wonderful. I stop on the way out of town to pick up bread and take it home to friends. My salad was fabulous and the vodka chicken pasta (a specialty) was cooked perfectly with a wonderful sauce. The specials change with the seasons. Desserts are all made there and everyone looked great. We share the ice cream on Sunday with homemade caramelized marshmallows and chocolate ganache. It was wonderful. You can share it with 4 people as it is very large. We will definitely have dinner here again when we return to Mayo and Golf."

"Not very exciting Chinese food; NYC has much better to offer. Disappointing overall; I had a carryout order and couldn't find the restaurant as their sign shows 2 different names (A.A. Jing and Pearls Asian Cuisine), neither of which are the name on their website, ordering site, and map sites (Amazed Palace). One item of our small order was incorrect. I asked for chopsticks with the order but they didn't include them. The food was of mediocre quality, including small shriveled shrimp, shrunken dumplings, and huge quantities of soupy sauce that seemed to be trying to make up for the small amount of food in the dish. Their staff was friendly but I think that's really the only positive. I don't expect to go back."

"Best bagels on the UWS. I see people here complaining about prices and wait times. Most of the time I don 't get my bagels with anything on them, which may explain why I don 't have these issues?I usually buy just the bagels, get cream cheese separately from the supermarket (or sometimes a 1/4 pound container of their specialty cream cheese, usually garlic herb), and perform the necessary procedures at home myself. This is the old Upper West Side way of doing things, dating back to when the old H H Bagels on 80th Broadway ruled the UWS. (The new one on Columbus 85th 86th belongs to the H H Bagels East company, which is different and not as good).The old H H sold both bagels and cream cheese, but would not assemble them together for you. You were expected to do this yourself at home. I guess I just got used to doing things that way.Anyway. Ever since H H closed, Tal Bagels has consistently had the best bagels in the neighborhood. The everything bagels are absolutely perfect, and they have whole wheat everything too.The staff is rude because they are relentlessly overworked and always exhausted. Please try to be patient with them, and consider maybe dropping a few dollars in the tip jar. The guys who show up at 4 AM or whenever to open are the same guys who close in the evening. On top of that, there 's usually only 2 of them serving customers, and the place gets pretty busy.This is also why the closing time listed here is not quite correct (6 PM every day? LOL). They close early as often as they can, occasionally as early as 2:30 PM on Sunday. Go as early as possible, and don 't count on them being open after 4 PM."

"I enjoyed a quick lunch at Swallow and was impressed by the outstanding Apple Cranberry Mixed Greens and the delicious Swallow Sandwich. The cozy cappuccino was a nice touch, but the seating arrangement is quite a challenge, as it's a self-service setup. They don't offer diet sodas, so you'll need to bring your own water, and utensils seem to be finders-keepers. The dessert experience was intriguing with a candy bar selection, but there were no pastries available. One thing to note: there are no restrooms on site. Overall, the food was fantastic, but the service definitely needs improvement."

"I was here on Monday with a friend and we both liked our meals (she had pork katsu and I had the chicken katsu don). The chicken katsu don was very good, although I wish it had been crunchier. Generous portions, too. We ended the meal with the red bean tempura fried ice cream (Amazing and the banana tempura. I recommend both highly. The service was underwhelming but not bad. I will definitely be returning to this place for what I'm sure will be another delicious meal."

"Delicious food and great service! We sampled their Ginger Grouper special and the Sa-Sa sushi roll, which includes salmon, sweet potato, snow crab, and some other ingredients I can’t recall. We enjoyed these dishes alongside Jasmine green tea, and concluded our meal with banana tempura over the weekend. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful here. We really adore this cozy little restaurant; they maintain a clean environment and the service is typically speedy. However, it can get quite busy at times, which may lead to occasional fluctuations in service quality."

"Nice spot in Downtown Hammond. Great ambience. Very friendly and courteous staff. The family was in the mood to try another place to eat. My son had been here before and so we hopped in. We had the crawfish pies for appetizers. No complaints here and they give you some dipping sauce to go with it. Wife and son ordered some sushi rolls and clear soup. I ordered the hamburger steak with string beans and fried garlic potatoes. The wife had sirloin tips with broccoli plus rice&gravy. We had a good time."

"First time coming here since I live in Aurora but decided to make the drive to Ft Collins and visit some people. I also wanted the chance to see the owners to see if they'd recognize me or not. I was one of their first customers when they opened up a sushi place on Prospect just after the train tracks basically a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Prospect Plaza apartments. I did happen to see Ji Yoon(sp? but not her husband Sung Won. Sadly, she didn't recognize me which I didn't wholly expect her to. My friends and I ordered a lot of food trying to sample a little bit of everything. We had the kimchi pancake to start. It was a bit mild for my taste but overall good enough where the kimchi didn't overpower the dish itself. We also ordered a rainbow roll and a candy cane roll. The candy cane roll was phenomenal. I was feeling a little risky ordering this since I'm allergic to shrimp, but luckily I had some Claritin in the car and popped a couple before chowing down. The description alone sold me on it. There's a piece of Fuji apple in it that gives the whole roll a bit of sweetness to it as well as subtly changing up the texture with the crunchiness from the apple. I wanted to try the Suh Special but decided against it as it felt like it would put us over the limit. We ordered a plate of sliced pork belly which was crispy, almost like bacon. I ordered a bowl of the Army Soup (budae jjigae which was pretty good, but not as good as a place in Denver that I frequent. Maybe since there wasn't any melted cheese in the soup? My friend didn't know what to order since she's leery of seafood because of the taste and texture of it, so I ordered a dolpang bibimbap for her. In hindsight I probably should've gotten her the dolsot bibimbap instead. The dolpang bibimbap is massive! It's so massive that I don't even think I could finish it which is saying a lot. Needless to say, she had to box it after finishing maybe a quarter of it. According to my receipt, Tao was our server. She was very helpful in providing insights into the differences between the dolsot and dolpang, but I wish she would've mentioned how big that dish was! Drinks were always topped off and she made the standard checks on us to see if everything was ok. If only I didn't live so far away, or if this place existed while I was going to college there, I'd frequent it more. I'd highly recommend this place if you live in Northern Colorado or if you're passing through!"

"A great experience at Tsunami is the standard. I’ve been to their BR location, Lafayette location, and frequent their NO location. Their rolls are delicious, the atmosphere is unrivaled, and the wait staff is consistently kind. They do get busy, so the occasional hiccup is unavoidable, but that’s OK. Recommendations: Green Monster is a MUST. I cannot say that enough. However... I don’t understand the cream cheese, so I always order without. My other favorites are the Lava Roll (light on the aioli and the Don Tuan (again, why cream cheese in a roll? . Word of caution, the spicy edamame is pretty intense and bathing in the pepper sauce. Miso is the best I’ve had anywhere. Enjoy!"

"This is the best sushi restaurant I've ever visited! I hadn't been here in about six years, but since I had a great experience before, I decided to give it another try. I'm so glad I did—it was even better this time! My boyfriend and I enjoyed several amazing sushi rolls. Our waiter, who I suspect might also be the owner (I think his name was Sam), was an excellent host. He ensured we had everything we needed—and more! Such a nice guy. I can't comment on the hibachi just yet, but this has definitely become our new go-to sushi spot!"
