### Question: The beef noodle is excellent and it arrives less than 30 seconds after you order. I had the hand pulled noodles this time, but I'll be back to try the chopped noodles. It was cheap and good value, but a bit out of the way for my normal Chinatown shopping route.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.347222222, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.502777778, rating is 3, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: This place was amazing! The garlic bread was AMAZING! We had the Lasagna and the spinach and garlic ravioli. They were both good. We would come back again! (It is not on the Main Street which was nice because we could look at the menu without them bothering us),Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.901111111, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.875555556, rating is 1, ### Answer: Spam

### Question: I had the bun bu hue which is hard to find in some Vietnamese restaurant. It was very tasty here. Also for dessert I had the cha ba mau which was the best I've ever had.

### Question: The food deserves a higher rating than 3, but... The noise level on the top floor is too much for me, as I have tinnitus.

### Question: Surprisingly better than you'd expect from the street view, lots of options, but a little too brightly lit. I get the whole "special" thing being across the board to include the beverages, but sometimes I just want a normal diet coke or Coors Light instead of some off-brand soda/beer. Maybe that's your thing though. I've had better french fries and fried pickles, but I guess you feel like you're doing the right thing by eating at this place. I like the build-your-own burger option, and the lettuce wrap burger option. The best part: she said the salad was the best she's had in a long time. The ingredients were all very fresh. Will return, but might opt for a more traditional burger place if that's what I want.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.359084821, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.503571429, rating is 3, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: During a moment of self-loathing, anger, and having a sad pity party I didn't want to do anything at all for my birthday. Which was over a month ago so this review is way over due. I was persuaded at the last second into getting dinner with a few good friends. I didn't actually pick the place but I said Brooklyn and I had this place bookmarked for awhile. Also, barbeque at the end of the summer is always a swell idea. The whiskey and bourbon selection here is fantastic. Beer choice not so much and it is over-priced. The cocktail menu is also kind of lame. Wasn't the biggest fan of their gin based drink with the muddled blueberries. The gin had an over-whelming bitter taste and "good gin" shouldn't do that. It should taste like liquid gold. The second drink I had was the Texas sweet tea with bourbon and it was substantially better but tasted just like alcoholic sweet tea in a mason jar. Their cocktails are priced around $9-11. You could be enjoying a good glass of Widow Jane or Buffalo Trace with your meat instead, so do that. The good parts about this place is that I love that it is conjoined with The Elbow Room. The macaroni and cheese here is pretty tasty and very share-able. We ordered a couple different versions. I only tried the Mushroom Mac with crimini mushrooms, spinach, and gruyere cheese. It was very creamy, the wilted spinach and decadent mushrooms with perfect shaped elbow noodles encasing all of that cheese.The only complaints with this may be with that I'm not partial to having an enormous amount of breadcrumbs crunched on top. Others feasted on Margherita Mac with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil. This was noted as not being cheesy enough or as good as hoped for. The Old School Mac with NY State Sharp Cheddar, béchamel, and garlic breadcrumbs. - Good, but not the best macaroni ever had. For meats I had the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of cornbread. What I don't like about dining here on the weekends is that a side costs you extra as opposed to weekdays when it is free. LAME. The coleslaw was basic. The brisket even though it was a fresh new batch that we waited an extra 20 minutes for before ordering, since the kind waiters happened to mention they were making a fresh new batch up, wasn't the best quality that I've ever had. Some people complained that the dry rub was extraordinarily spicy. Spicy in the sense of way too much black pepper and seasonings. Not burn my face off heat spicy. I was in the middle on it but agree that less on the rub could have been so much more. The best meat I did happen to sample a small bite of thanks to my buddy Anton and his friends was the GINORMOUS BEEF RIB. I say that because that is the best meat on this menu hands down and you should order it immediately. Between the two of them they ordered two orders of it so I did not feel guilty in the slightest in taking this extra morsel of fatty delicious fall off the bone meat. I never knew in my life that rib meat could be made of not pork and still taste mind blowing. The cornbread lastly was quality with little nuggets of diced up bell pepper and had a hint of sweetness. Finished the meal with an obligatory and embarrassing 'happy birthday brownie' that got passed around. It was okay. But I'd skip on ordering desert here. Overall, decent bbq that could use a few fine tweaks to make it perfect. The Elbow Room definitely helps this place out a bunch with upping its star rating though.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.192358714, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.495544048, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Very happy that if I feel the urge to treat myself, I can have lobster roll anytime for lunch!! This is just blocks from my office, and I've been wanting to try the UES location forever, but now I don't have to! Yes, $15 for lunch might be slightly pricey, but honestly a lobster roll even up in New England is gonna be like $12. So a $15 roll in NYC in my opinion isn't terrible at all. It looks small, but actually I found that there was a lot of meat. Just a small amount of mayo and a sprinkle of delicious spices on top without overpowering the lobster itself. It was really tasty! The roll was buttered and toasted. mmmm... I do wish the roll had more buttah though! I had had Ed's lobster roll just a few days before, and I think personally Luke's was better. If you're more of a lobster purist, you'll like Luke's better too. Ed's had more mayo mix, which I thought I would like more, but it surprisingly didn't have much flavor. The roll was better buttered and toasted though. So overall, I definitely will be back for more lobster roll, and also to taste the crab and shrimp rolls as well. The express window serving only lobster rolls is convenient and helps things move along during peak times nicely. This could be dangerous!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.223955068, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.504179728, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Who can say no to cheap dumplings? I'm a fan of this hole-in-the wall place. On top of the 12 dumplings for $3, you can also get 50 frozen dumplings to go for $9, not bad in my book. Didn't get to try the noodles, but from the loud thumps in the corner of the restaurant, I can say with confidence that they serve the good stuff. My only drawback is that their dumplings were a little bit on the salty side, but meh. I accidentally reverted back to "we're in China so speak Chinese" mode and it actually made communication a lot harder...I'm thinking it's because I just speak terrible Mandarin. I probably brought shame upon my ancestors. Minus one for embarrassment.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.063541667, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.497222222, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: First time to this Chelsea location. Love that it's a little bigger and could easily handle our group of 6. Every time I eat at Westville I am reminded how amazingly fresh their vegetables are. I really like all of the menu items I have tried, but I keep coming back again and again for the market sides. Go with the parmesan asparagus, beets/goat cheese, soy-glazed green beans, and roasted Brussels sprouts, and you won't be sorry. Also love the homemade Oreos. i Love Westville!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.160069444, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.497222222, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: There is a lot of hype about this place so the lines are LONG. Get there before 6pm if you don't want to wait. I haven't tried weekends or lunch though...might be a good idea... Over the course of 2 visits I've been able to sample about a dozen items on the menu and most were disappointing. Here's a breakdown: - My favorite dish is the tsukune (chicken meatball) on a stick with raw egg. It tasted just like Japan, albeit 2x the price. I could just sit down and just eat that. Unfortunately, it goes downhill from there. - Tori nanban was cold and had a strange sauce. I've never had it prepared that way in Japan or any other Japanese restaurant in N.America. - Tongue, flavorful but overpriced given the quantity. thin style. I prefer it thicker. - Katsu , excellent breading, thick and juicy cuts. more fat pieces though. very similar to Japan. Luckily the curry sauce was on the side because it was dreadful. I've never tasted curry like this. It was almost clear and soupy, not thick and brown like regular japanese curry. It also had a strange taste...just get the katsu, no curry. - Miso soup real veggies and pieces of meat. Homestyle. Some people will like it. - Egg steam custard, chawan mushi - they were pretty stingy with the meat/veggies in it and it came out lukewarm, thumbsdown :/ - Tomato pork: haven't had something like this before but it was really good. definitely recommend to try! - Wagyu skewer: well we all know it's not kobe but it's pretty tender and flavorful. - Pork neck skewer: very good. recommended! - Hamburg: good texture, but something a bit off with the sauce. - Katsudon: see katsu comments above - thick and juicy cuts. more fat than i would like and the egg part had a bit too much water. - Draft beer was a bit pricey. The glasses were narrow and small and you could finish it maybe 2 or 3 healthy sips. Waitstaff are average but not as attentive as some Japanese restaurants. Some waitstaff are not Japanese as they do have a little bit of trouble with the menu but it's not a big deal. I would recommend a la carte skewers and not the set meals. I would come back every now and then but I won't be raving about it.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.056826705, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505490145, rating is 3, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Fun spot. Really cute Irish server at the bar gave great service. We went for lunch before theater. There were 6 of us and tables only hold 4 comfortably so we sat at the bar. But we did at least get a corner spot so we could see each other and talk. I had steamed vegetable dumplings which were quite tasty, and we shared nachos which were very very loaded with toppings. The others said the mussels were very good. Cesare salad and slider burgers got mixed reviews from the group. Drinks however were generously poured so we all left happy. I would return when back in NYC.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.253214286, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.496071429, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: There seem to be a long line at artichoke pizza at all hours. Why? Perhaps, they have great pizza! Long lines typically translate to good stuff right? Well, based on my experience - they give you a jumbo sized (Airbus A380) like slice for under $5 dollars and maybe that's enough for some, but it didn't work on me. By the way, it could have been my slice, but there was maybe two small pieces of artichoke? haha For the experience, if you are near-by why not give them a try, but good luck finding that artichoke on your pizza.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.952619048, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.900285714, rating is 1, ### Answer: Spam

### Question: The atmosphere in this place is great. Great for dates, dinner with couple of friends, or small groups We got the tofu salad ( you can totally skip this appetizer, not worth it), grilled cod ( pretty good but for $20 appetizer dish I expected it to be better), monk fish liver (pretty good, 4/5), sushi ( fresh and tasty but only a few selections: amber jack, tuna, salmon, & red snapper), kamameshi with eel and Ikura ( we wanted to try the uni and Ikura but they were out of the uni - at 7pm on a Friday ( this is the best dish and I will totally go back just for this). They suggest to make reservation for the uni kamameshi and of course if you wanted to sit at the bar area in the front. For dessert we got the sesame ice cream which was delicious and the regular green tea ice cream where you can get from any supermarket.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.27, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506346154, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: Advice is to sleep in & skip or stay home & make a much bigger/better cheaper breakfast French toast is huge & dry, no amount of pure maple syrup or nutella is saving this from being the worst dollar for dollar french toast around ($15) Blindfold test would have that miniature Penny egg sandwich confused with one served at Dunkin Donuts, don't let that little pesto twist fool you, dosn't even come with a side of those small portioned $5 extra burnt looking home fries If someone is cruel enough to roll you out of bed for this place then definitely get the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice ($5.50), wish I ordered 3 instead of that french toast It's a cute setup, like a house Mary Engelbreit would live in but definitely overrated, adding to this mornings delight was somehow there was about a 15 minute wait,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is -0.060711438, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.494736842, rating is 1, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: As a celiac, I've been here quite a few times, and finally I'm annoyed enough to review, as I find it overpriced and overrated. The seating is tight and the service impatient, but I don't mind that as much as their risotto, which is not merely al dente, but the rice is grainy, hard and uncooked (inside each grain--not enough time to soak up properly boiling broth). Also, the ingredients for the many combos on the menu are tossed in at the last minute, rather than cooked into it, making for a flavorless hodgepodge. It's nice to offer 100s of combos--and to make each "on order" but better would have been 3-5 properly made and flavored risottos of the day. The salad was OK but way overpriced for unimaginative lettuce with some bell peppers. The cookies and desserts are overly sweet, way too frosted, using some GF mix that's gummy and grainy. Bottom line: I make better risotto at home, and FAR better desserts. The only thing that's good here are the breadsticks!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.152380952, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.497567288, rating is 1, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: Couldn't care less for this place. Sure, a nice grilled Gruyere cheese sandwich and a meager square of mac 'n cheese, but what's the appeal of that? What's with the vintage 1970's high school metal shop tables and stools? I guess they could have spent less on the decor, but not a whole helluva lot less. Other than the ginger ale, not a lot to speak about. Do yourself a favor, skip the attempt at shabby chic, simple food you can probably make at home, and check out the Pollos a la Brasa Mario next door.

We sat at the bar where a chef served us our sushi. I must say, this place has the BEST TASTING SUSHI EVER. Their fish was very fresh and each piece was better than the last.

### Question: Yes, the decor is nice, it's inviting and the food menu is awesome. BUT... their coffee is not consistent. I ordered an iced americano that was so strong and good and even had the crema of the espresso and decided this place would be my morning coffee place. YET, the next few times I went, I got watered down shit that tasted burnt and awful. When I commented on it, the first time they remade it stronger. The second time, the guy just told that's how they do it. You're telling me you put a shot of espresso in a glass full of ice and water???? No wonder it's watered down.

### Question: They should franchise and have 1 location in every borough. The Chicken Shawarma is absolutely amazingly delicious. Very scrumptious!!! And the Falafal too. Large and fried to perfection for a nice crispy outside and soft fluffy inside. Love that they put Hummus and Tahiti in pita. The red cabbage adds extra flavor and crunchiness. I substituted Taboulli for the LTO in Shawarma. Their spicy red sauce is bursting with flavor and intensity. Just hot enough that it does not last forever nor make you sweat bullets. Tunisian style med pitas, entrees and desserts with a little hint of French culinary flair. Food is fresh and hot. They have a self serve water urn on the shelf. The ambience is lovely bright and relaxing. The tables are beautiful solid wood raw cut wood with a light stain and varnish. Cool Mediterranean decor and artwork is priceless.

### Question: What a strange experience - and I mean that as a compliment. Self-contradictory: intimate despite the airy soaring ceiling, cozy with a breezy outdoor-patio not-in-NYC vibe despite the concrete & exposed pipes etc, genuinely friendly warm & efficient staff despite trendiness, and low prices despite such creativity, quality of presentation and ingredients and loving attention to detail. It must be noted that the great company at my own table, as well as possibly the handsomest man I have ever seen in my life being seated at the next table, may have unduly influenced my impression of this place. I had: -- the Public 75, and would like to have it again, repeatedly; -- "salad of braised fennel, kalamata olives, orange, and cotija cheese with smoked almonds and sun dried tomatoes". I could have done without that last (just because I don't like them ever), but the savory-sweet mixture entertained and it was sized like a (generous) entree; and -- "Snail and oxtail ravioli with pickled shiitake mushrooms, oven dried tomatoes, pea shoots and smoked paprika oil." As good as they say: earthy, intriguing, engrossing. ... AND! not oversalted, which had to be a temptation given its components. I know I say this about most places, but I can't wait to come back and hang out at the bar.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.200543478, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505253623, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: I'm gonna go ahead an give Coppelia 4 stars although my most recent visit doesn't quite warrant this many. I have been here several times for breakfast, but my prior visits (which would have been rated 4.5 stars) were more than a year ago. I recently was out in NYC late night which is quite rare for me these days. As we were celebrating a BDay in the Meatpacking, I knew the perfect 24 hour venue for a hangover prevention meal was nearby Coppelia on 14th St in nearby Chelsea. There was no wait for a seat although nearly all tables and bar stools were occupied upon entering. This place has a more fun vibe at night than I have experienced during the day. Long story short, one friend ordered food to go which came out promptly; 2 other friends and myself ordered a total of 2 apps and 1 sandwich to dine in but unfortunately 2 or 3 of us were overlooked!! My first friend received his yummy Flautas right away. At the time they were delivered, I inquired if our food would be coming out soon and received confirmation as such. Needless to say I had to inquire with the manager after 30 minutes had gone by and still no food! I get that they were busy, but geesh! You get a pass this time Coppelia, but next time it might be a good customer service decision to apologize for the delay? We eventually received our food: Nachos and a Torta de Milanese sandwich. Clearly nothing that should take 40 mins to receive. It was yummy, and gone in 60 seconds as we were starved by then!! We eventually ordered a round of Yucca Fries as well and those came out hot crispy and tasty. Food still good, I can give them that.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.162857143, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.494246032, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: Definitely a 5 Star Burger joint and quite possibly the best burger I have ever had. That's all I have to say...Just kidding :P, here are the details: I have gone twice now recently and it seems the hype has died down and the wait time is average (seated within 10 mins during Sunday lunch / 30mins for dinner, also on Sunday). As others have said, they have an electronic system that lets you know how many people are in front so you don't have to nag the hostess anyways. First time going there, party of four ordered truffle fries and french fries as starters. The waitress also brought out four different sauces in porcelain soup spoons (interesting.) ranging from garlic aoili to a spicy "Diablo" sauce. The truffle fries were very disappointing, they did not have as much of a truffle flavor and the fries were a bit soggy. Our group enjoyed the plain french fries much better and favored the garlic aoili sauce (we needed a second soup spoon of aoili!) On to the highly regarded truffle burger! It exceeded my expectations as I bit into the "U" stamped burger and enjoyed the unique flavor. The garlic Aoili and the truffle sauce complemented the melt-in-your-mouth, super fresh patty very well as it did not overpower the patty or buns. The buns...THE BUNS! I wish I could have every burger with their buns from now on as they were very soft and fluffy yet delicious and have a toasty crust. The buns were definitely the highlight of the burger for me. I will have to keep coming not just for the burgers but also the good selection of drinks and great service. Maybe I'll let the Umami Gods choose my meal with their "Trust Us" combo of burger-fries-drinks next time!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.24510582, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.50457672, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: Tacos in the Middle of Chinatown (Court Area). Since I work near by I have finally gave it a try. Read Vivian H. Review, EXPECT to feel Heavy after eating. Most of what's in the menu are fried. First Try. Ordered 3 Tacos for $ 10.00 (TACO PLATTER) OR $ 3.45 each - Tempura Fish Taco (I give it a 4 star). IS light Batter, Cold Slaw, Spicy Mayo and A sliced of Avocado to top it of. It's Delicious!, Only took 3 bites to finish it. I must admit, Their Soft Shell Taco is what I enjoyed the most (Most of Mexican Places carry Soft Corn shell, but this place (since Is a bit of a Asian / Fusion), It reminds me of Scallion pancake (but without the Scallions in it). One single layer holding the heavy meats and sauce. - Pork Belly Tacos , Chunks, Crunchy, Fatty, but Also Yummy. (4 Star) - Skirt Steak With Pico de Gallo and Cilantro. It didn't wow me (I guess because it's just Skirt Steak). with a little Hotness to get in the flavor. (3.5 Star). Decor of the Place is very casual, Bar looking (with about 10 stools). Quick service. Great location if you are around the area and tired of the Chinese / Vietnamese / Italian food. They Do Deliviries, Pick up orders (To save time). Will come back again to try their burger. and Drinks.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.105813492, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.496587302, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: I'm giving Bogota 5 stars because of the Lobster Quesadilla Special. It was the best quesadilla I have ever had. There were big pieces of lobster in it too :) They give you Banana Chips for dipping and snacking on. I didn't think I'd like them but I did. The waitress recommended a drink that was really good, but I can't remember the name. I think it was sangria & frozen margarita combined. For my entree I had the Catfish Tacos, which comes with a choice of 2 sides. I picked the yellow rice and black beans. The waitress told me that I was allowed to pick another one so I picked the sweet plantains. When my bf ordered he picked the sweet plantains and rice but he didn't get a third choice, I guess it was the order he picked them because of their value. So I guess a good *Tip* would be that if you are really hungry to order the least expensive sides so you get the extra! There were 3 Catfish Tacos served with a Chipotle sauce. Really delicious. I saved the last one and some sides to take to go, but then after I filled out the survey I totally forgot about them. So I guess my only complaint is that after we paid that was pretty much it. Didn't get my leftovers, but I completely forgot about them anyway. Oh, and I made a check in here and got a free appetizer! I am going to check in places alllll the time now!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.218619048, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.504857143, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: how in the world this place is getting good reviews is far beyond me arrived, moronic waitress, didn't even know half of the things on the menu, completely forget to let us know the specials, to which we actually were interested in after she told another couple dining (after we ordered of course) who brings out our food and caters to us? not the waitress, a guy wearing a bandanna around his head and a tattered dirty american eagle shirt ... was this a joke? ordered the trout - fish was skin-on and not tasty at all; spinach was bland lobster mac and cheese ... are you kidding me? my 8 year old nephew can cook better pasta this place is terrible - just take a peek into the kitchen to see who's cooking your food pure tourist trap - probably will never eat on st marks again because of this pure dump,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.017517007, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.507142857, rating is 1, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Stopped at the Brickyard for a quick bite and a drink last Friday night before seeing Cabaret. Happy hour was going on in the front bar, but there was plenty of room in the back dining room area. Very friendly and accommodating staff (we were on a time constraint). Decent beer selection, but nothing on tap that would be considered a rare beer. We ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Spring rolls and the Steak Frites. The Cheesesteak Spring Rolls were some of the best I've had, and I always order them when they are on the menu. We also ordered a Caesar salad which was WAY over dressed, picture drenched soggy lettuce. Overall, great for a quick bite. Stay away from the salad or else order dressing on the side. If you are looking for rare beers, you might want to try another place.

### Question: Wow... looks like they're in a bad neighborhood... I had the Minca Ramen (shoyu broth) and gyoza. The gyoza was OK. Had much better. I had the Minca ramen with the chijiri-men (wavy noodles). The noodles were good, but I did not like the broth. Didn't taste much of shoyu, but rather had a really burnt taste to it.

### Question: Having been spoiled by a few years in Japan, it's not easy for me to give high marks to any Japanese place in New York. Add that to my being pretty persnickety about food in general, and you end up with an average of two stars for perfectly competent places (really because Yelp won't let people give no stars for places they really hate). But the quality of the food here fully deserves its four stars. In the traditional Japanese yakitori style, you can order all kinds of stuff off the menu and the cook will grill it to perfection for you. You can make particular requests if you want (seared a little more thoroughly, cooked rarer, etc.), but having tried a large spread of things here, they really know what they're doing, and it's all excellent just the way they always do it. Drawbacks? Well, it's pricey, and the portions are small. If you're looking to get full while drinking quality sakes, you can easily expect to spend a couple hundred bucks per person here. However, consider that if you were in a good restaurant in the city and drinking quality wine with your food, you would pay that same amount, and you'll see that it's priced fairly for the quality of the food and drinks. Tips: make reservations because the place is consistently packed, and ask for seating at the ends of the counter so you can see the guy cooking the food.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.154095488, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.498645521, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Like most new places, it seems this place took a little time to find its stride, but the experience my wife and I had when visiting was first-rate. I'm a craft beer aficionado and could visit Woodbines several times a week. I had a SingleCut beer and a Founders Centennial. Both were perfectly served. My wife enjoyed the house wine, and she can be picky. I had a burger and my wife had the lamb meatloaf and we were both very happy with our choices.

### Question: in istanbul--and all over turkey--people gather for more protests that originally started as an opposition to building a mall in one of the last green spaces in the city center. meanwhile, in brooklyn, a group gathers for crab on the warmest day of the year so far. i jumped out of the B61 bus when i realized i was on van brunt. until that point i thought i was lost. i'm not too familiar with red hook. i know i took my driving test there. it was a test that many people fail. after a 15 minute walk in the sun the corona was the perfect way to cool off. then a few pacificos. the bartender gave me a corona on the house. the people arrive and we move upstairs. i've read some bad reviews here and one of the comment complaints is the wait time. we were 11, so the 30 minute wait did not seem unreasonable at all. the 4th beer and a conversation with women about their surgeries ensured that the time went by quickly. the waiter was very friendly and went through every part of the menu. his knowledge of crabs seemed so detailed that he was either a great fisherman or a good liar. either way, his service and pleasant attitude was nice. i ordered a crab that i don't see on the menu here. i'm not a crab person, so i wasn't sure that i was eating it properly. i'm good at gnawing all of the meat off a chicken bone, so i took a similar approach. since it was the first time i've had real crab, i can't compare it to crab at other places. i know that i left full and slightly light-headed after finishing 6 beers in near 90 degree weather. the atmosphere was good. in the background we could see the giant queen mary 2 as she embarked to some other part of the world. before we left the waiter told us that the one year anniversary was coming up. i know there have been negative reviews here, but i wonder/hope that some of them were from when the place was in its early stages of becoming a crab eatery. no complaints here, except maybe for the price. but, again, i don't know how much crabs cost at similar places. in turkey they struggle; in brooklyn we eat crabs. i hope there's a way that our two worlds can meet.

### Question: If you're down for adventures to Queens there are many culinary surprises to be had. Walk down Roosevelt and you will find bountiful restos galore.

Now all I need to do is go to Thailand for the final test. The toss up for best Pad See Eew is between Pongsri and SriPraPhai though if I lived closer to Queens I would say hands down Sri.

### Question: As we stood out in the cold with the other 50 some people, we wondered if the wait would be worth it. As we waited patiently I noticed the door man looked like an old school mobster with his fedora, sharp suit and long black wool coat. Fast forward 45 min. later to us finally walking into this magical pie heaven. We sat, we ordered we waited about 15 min. and then our glorious pie was presented in front of us. Steaming with melted mozzarella and crispy pepperoni. Our eyes lit up and soon our stomachs expanded. So I ask myself was it worth the wait? I would have waited longer. Our server, decor and music was classic. By far the best pizza I've ever eaten.

### Question: They say your favorite restaurant is where they know you. We had never been to Seafire Grill previously. We were treated very special by Aron, the GM, and Besfort, our waiter, and his team. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by Aaron who is full of energy and enthusiasm. He asked us to wait in the bar for 15 minutes and he would get us a fabulous table. In 15 minutes, he arrived to seat us at a fabulous table. The service team was probably the best and most efficient of any restaurant we dined in NYC. The service was exceptional. I would give the food 4.5 stars. Very good food, although I always complain about NYC portions being too small. The atmosphere was very nice although adding individual lights to each piece of artwork on the wall would make the place more elegant. I had the salmon and my wife had the halibut. Both were excellent. The prawns were excellent as well. I was so impressed by how well we were treated, we will definitely go back to the Seafire Grill. We did not try the steaks, but a friend told us they are exceptional at this restaurant. I highly recommend the Seafire Grill.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.901133787, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.858290249, rating is 1, ### Answer: Spam
### Question: I did go due to the hype, but I was not prepared at all for my experience. The brisket is OK. Against my better judgement I ordered a not so fatty cut and a fatty cut. The fatty cuts of brisket were pretty good, but not any better than Fette Sau or any other decent place. The non-fatty parts... really, why bother? That being said, the brisket is decent. It needs sauce, though. I know the owner is against the idea of sauce, but despite it's meaty flavor, it just needs another salt/sweet/tart component. That would have made it delicious. Either way, let me start from the beginning. I knew that this place got pretty full, so I was sure to go before they opened. That being said, I got there 15 or so minutes before and encountered a line. That was fine and it wasn't too long, although there were 10 or so people ahead of me. I got to the place and made sure that I put my name down. The first thing they asked was, "did you pre-order your brisket?" Really? Apparently you can call and reserve to get there before the restaurant opens. They don't say this on their website, but this is ridiculous. All of us normal patrons waited outside until the restaurant opened. When they opened, there were still people eating inside... so that meant they started to trickle in the normal patrons after those people left. There was a line outside for people waiting to get in. Once you're done with that line, there is another internal line before you get your table. There was only one person dealing with the cutting. The menu was positioned in a way where you only knew what your options are once you got up front. The whole process was so INEFFICIENT. Once we got inside, we waited on the last line and that took 40+ minutes. The outside line took around 20-30 minutes. Overall during the entire time there we spotted at least 2 tables that seat 4 people open at all times. They are clearly not managing the flow of people. Once you get up front and order, you get to take unlimited pieces of bread. We also didn't have any problem sitting down after waiting for over an hour. (After getting to the restaurant 15 minutes before open time.) For ALL that, the food was mediocre. I might wait over an hour for Ippudo (and the last time I did that, that was no longer transcendent either), but not this mediocre brisket. They should institute more of a Fette Sau policy in letting people find their own tables instead of a host not letting people in from outside. The table management left A LOT to be desired.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.088111111, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.498277778, rating is 1, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Yes, the place is small and doesn't have many tables. Yes, the line is usually long and out the door....but it moves quickly, and you'll be happy you waited. Dos Toros probably has the best burritos and tacos in NYC, and in a near perfect location. Right off Union Square, you can stop by whenever you're craving it! Which will be a lot, especially if you get the carne asada or the carnitas. The carne asada is perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the carnitas have been slow-cooked and tenderized to perfection. The chicken is also good, but I'm way more of a real meat eater, so I usually skip it. Pinto or black beans (both delicious), the guac is fresh and not premade (unusual for a fast-paced taco joint, to say the least) and their chips are crazy addictive. Don't forget the hot sauce!! A bit of spice in Mexican food is practically mandatory. All their ingredients are LOCAL and SUPER FRESH and ORGANIC....wait, let me repeat: LOCAL, SUPER FRESH, ORGANIC. How many places can you say that about that don't charge you a ridiculous amount for their product? Exactly. So Californians, stop complaining. We know it's not gonna be exactly like the tacos you grew up on on the other side of the coast. But I'm not gonna complain how Italian food at most places isn't real Italian food just cause I'm Italian and lived there for years (fact: spaghetti and meatballs is not a real dish. Neither is penne alla vodka). And if you like Chipotle better than Dos Toros, there's something wrong with your tastebuds.

### Question: As a long time customer of the old Chavella's on Classon, we were super excited about the new location on Franklin... As expected the food was consistently good.. And i was a bit skeptical about a margarita on tap, but proved to be decent and strong. However the Service was rushed and it was clear they wanted our table back as soon as possible. They dropped the check while we were still eating without asking us if we needed anything else. I assume we didn't drink enough, fast enough or order enough food for their liking, so we got the boot. Rude rude rude. It is fancier than the old locale but its still Franklin ave in Crown Heights. I would consider not going back, but they have a taco monopoly on the neighborhood.

### Question: We got a thin crust pizza with red sauce and mushrooms, italian sausages, and roasted red peppers.....but I found NO TASTE whatsoever!

### Question: HANDS DOWN THE BEST TAPAS RESTAURANT I'VE BEEN TO IN THE CITY! So I love my tapas places because I think they're great places to go with a group of friends, pass around plates, drink sangria and gab it up! I've been to Alta a few times - both with large and small groups. This place is very accommodating for large groups and has plenty of space. I've sat on both the first and second floor and was very happy! It's also a great place for a date because the lighting is pretty low, especially on the second floor, and it's just a really beautiful establishment! The service is also good. So le't's get to the food - I'll list in order of my favorites: 1) Crispy Brussel Sprouts - Don't sleep on these!! Seriously, they blew my mind and I don't even like Brussel Sprouts. However, there are nuts so steer clear if you're allergic 2) Lamb Meatballs - the butternut squash foam is to die for 3) Smoke Eggplant And Lebne Dip 4) Bacon Wrapped Dates & Olives - Another thing I don't like - dates - but love this plate 5) Asparagus Tempura - Who doesn't love fried veggies! 6) Grilled Gulf Shrimp & Chorizo Skewer - this sausage and shrimp plate is tasttttty!! I'd definitely try them all if you can - it's well worth it - plus the sangria's awesome! Remember to bring CASH or your American Express Card(as they don't accept other forms of payment). There's not a convenient non-shady ATM close so I'd encourage you to make a visit before you go!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.328928394, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.493013039, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: I'll just say this . . . 2:30 am, Sunday morning, in January, POURING rain, no car, no shelter, in NYC, and there's still a 20 min. line!!! Even as we were eating people continued to crop up! This happened again recently in April, again at 2:30 am, again in the rain, again 20 mins (usually the lines are longer, as you'll read in the other reviews). All for good reason though! This is coming from a guy that was actually INCENSED that my friend would take us out for a 3 hour "adventure," lost in NYC, in the rain to find some stupid food cart! Then when we got there I almost got into an argument/fight with some baboon idiots who thought I was taking a video of them eating the platter. So I was already not going to enjoy this! . . . BUT . . . . when the $5 chicken platter over saffron rice (ask for extra chicken and extra white sauce, and hot sauce . . . don't forget the pita, they do that sometimes) went into my mouth it was as if the sun had just came out to warm whatever coldness NYC had to offer!! As I was eating it, I had to admit my only reaction was, "Yeah this is pretty good," and I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it was AMAZING!! However, the impact of the "amazingness" of the $5 platter was not felt until I left NY and I craved the platter for weeks! In fact, I hate to admit this, but I still crave it. I think they put some drugs in there a la the Krusty Rib-wich. In all honesty, the reputation may, in fact, proceed the food, but the $5 Platter is still frickin' good!!! It's definitely worth the lines, and it's definitely worth a try, and the price is great for food this good! Every time I'm in or anywhere near Manhattan, it's the first and the last stop!!

### Question: You will not see me standing in the queue winding down the block for this place. I will stop in of an evening when I have a hot date and a sawbuck, because the beer-and-burger deal is a deal indeed, but the breakfast-y foods are not worth the wait. The good: the servings are generous. This becomes a fault, because, as a charter member of the Clean Plate Club, I prefer to have portions that I can enjoy and fully appreciate. The bad: The pancake are too mealy, full of grain; the syrup is overly sweet, and has no subtlety; the biscuits are too large; and the bacon, the much-anticipated bacon, has a rough carmel taste that merely amplifies the sugar of the pancakes, rather than providing a complement. The grits are also uneven, in their texture and in the taste. The usual: the burgers are good, and the $10 beer-and-burger is a tasty deal, but I would not go out of my way for it. For a restaurant with "Baking" in its name and a line down the block, I expect more delectable baked goods, and more stunning food and atmosphere. I suppose that my coming away unimpressed from each visit to Clinton St. Baking reveals that I am not hip, not hip enough for this place.

PATRONS : There seems to be an influx of Asian customers today around 1pm sitting in for lunch at this place. DECOR : It is simple. I rather like it as it had several palm trees, yellowish painted walls, and a painting of a cabana boy trying to spit game to a lady on the beach as the centerpiece. The space itself I DID NOT like. It was cramped and VERY SMALL. I think they missed the difference between cozy and just plain eating on the subway during morning rush hour. This is NOT a dining experience that I expected from a dining establishment that didn't even have a visible sign of their restaurant name expect the logo on the front of the door to distinguish itself from just another hole in the wall venue. The seating was CRAMPED. The stools where we were had our backs to the window where foot traffic can see how nicely packed the diner is but nothing else. In fact, the tables in this place were so clusterf--ked that if someone had to use the lavatories we would had to disturbed a fellow patron to tuck in the seat what is already a tight niche space as it is. NOT COOL. The bar and the kitchen is connected with one just being as small as the latter. BONUS POINTS : you can see clearly into the TINY kitchen and that the cooks are wearing white vinyl gloves. So for sanitary purposes you get A+. SERVICE: 1) My party and I did NOT know there were reservations being taken when you walked through the door and the royal blue curtain draping which has an equal effect on blocking wind as doors open for new patrons as it did for BLOCKING the welcoming ambiance one would expect at ANY dining establishment. 2) Upon putting our name on the list for what seems to be only 2 parties ahead of us on the list we were given an estimate of 20 minutes wait time. This 20 minutes essentially lagged to 40 mins upon which added to the 20 ADDITIONAL minutes I waited previously for my party to arrive = 1hr. Already fuming I pray to the food GODS that the food was worthy of the wait. As you will read further, it was NOT. In fact, we were essentially SKIPPED ahead for a party of 4 that came AFTER US forcing us to have to take the bar stools in order to even get service. Fine, that is what we did. 3) The bartender was attentive but to his discredit it is hard NOT to be attentive when you are working in a space similarly to the l shape block in the game TETRIS. Not much you can do to avoid people really. FOOD: 1)The big PULL for this restaurant is their GRiLLED CORN MEXICAN STYLE (generous coating of cheese and chili powder served with lime wedges). I had a teeny bite of this and as a NON CHEESE FAN, this was not the dish for me. It was WAY too cheesy (good for all you LACTOSE TOLERANT folks) and the spiciness was OVERPOWERING. The corn itself was fine and the lime juice was a nice touch. 2) SLOPPY "JOSE" BBQ PULLED PORK SANDWICH (spicy bbq, jalapeno, chipotle mayo, lettuce, tomato) - Correct me if I'm wrong but it does say BBQ in the name? it DID NOT contained even the slightest hint of BBQ whether it be sauce or the smokiness that was to be EXPECTED. I will say this, they did stuff the MEAT and the bread was CRUNCHY hard which was good. The presentation was also good. 3) CUBAN SANDWICH - I am beside myself as to how a Cuban Establishment mess up a CUBAN sandwich. It would be like Asian people F--king up MAKING RICE! Ironically, on their online menu/dine-in menu it was voted BEST in NYC? Not quite sure which year this was but I've had MUCH better. The sandwich itself was BLAND. At the very least I would have been okay with it being salty which it wasn't neither. The bread again was the best part which was CRUNCHY and nicely presented but there were only so much bread one person can eat (Reference :Olive Garden). The one streak of sweet mustard was not enough to give the sandwich a good kick to the taste buds as it was only on one measly side of the sandwich. Once again they do PACK THE MEAT so there's that. PRICE: $9.75 + $7.50 + Tips = roughly $20 for my meal alone. Decent NYC price but not for what you have just read. Advice = I would try this establishment again but not in the near future. It could have been an off day for them but one can never REALLY tell.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.059321688, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506104709, rating is 2, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: I've been meaning to try Extra Virgin since I walked past it a few Valentine's Day ago. The dark room, the candles, the rose petals on the sidewalk outside, gorgeous. Decided to go for an end of summer date night and I was not disappointed. We were sat quickly and offered a choice between 2 tables. We chose a quiet one in a corner, good choice. I started with a raspberry mojito--strong taste of raspberry with a kick. Very summery. The menu was different than the one on the website and the one on Zagat. The boyfriend and I split the well-recommended scallop appetizer. It came on a bed of polenta, sweet corn, sliced red grapes and frisee. DELICIOUS. Creamy but not heavy, sweet but still savory, the dish was perfectly balanced. Yum. I would return just for that. Lemon crusted Chilean sea bass was up for my main. It was very flavorful and moist, set atop a bed of potato/fennel mash with crispy artichokes on the side. Again, a summery option--it seems like the restaurant switches it up what the bass is paired with based on the season, something I really enjoy. I've never finished my entree before my boyfriend, but I had no trouble putting this away. Just as a note, though, Chilean sea bass is listed in the "Avoid" category by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, something that slipped my mind at the time but makes me feel a little bad in retrospect. :-/ We also shared a side of brussel sprouts cooked with bacon and apples. Sweet with a bite, they were a welcome reminder that fall is just around the corner. The warm apple tart with sour cream ice cream and Jack Daniels caramel sauce was ok, but nothing special. One last thing--J ordered a Makers on the rocks as an after dinner drink. Thinking it would be a two-finger pour, he felt $10 was fair. Not even kidding, the lowball glass was FULL to the brim of straight whiskey. There was ice, but it was floating due to the extreme amount of alcohol. Not necessarily a complaint but...we were both buzzed by the time we left and there was whiskey left over. It's was like Thursday nights in college right in the West Village.

### Question: I was hungry when I was thinking of eating the Viet sandwich, walking to Banh Mi. I was still hungry when I went inside. I found it surprisingly clean, and the man who took our order was cool-he took great effort in trying to get our orders right. We ordered 1 pork with cilantro and the other without (I hate cilantro). He even labeled the paper bags, marking an "X" on the one that didn't have cilantro! Awesome! We also got this shrimp roll. We decided to walk to Columbus Park to eat our lunch there. It was while I was walking that I lost my appetite. I don't know what it was. Then I lost it completely when my jacket fell on the spit and cigarette ash laden ground. While eating, I kept thinking about how dirty my jacket was, and the white marks that wound up on the collar. Damn, my lunch was ruined. So perhaps I didn't enjoy the sandwich as I was supposed to have. So on to the sandwich. The bread was good, but it had more of a bite to it than the ones at Baoguette. Some people like that way. I don't really like bread that crusty, because it just hurts the roof of my mouth. But I would definitely get this sandwich rather than the one at Baoguette. I mean, this place seems cleaner, and they make the sandwiches much much faster. And they get the orders right. The pork was like jerky consistency. Somewhat dried, but I like it. It was flavorful, and not as fattening. The veggie to meat ratio was perfect. Not too little or too much of each. I like how they cut the sandwich in half. Easier to eat and save. It was big and mad cheap, unlike Baoguette's $5.40 sandwich. I was already full eating half of it. The shrimp roll on the other hand I did not particularly like. The flavor was too strong, too aromatic. I'm not sure what they put in it, but I tasted basil as part of the aromatics. Then there was this other flavor that I couldn't pinpoint. Maybe some people might like, but I didn't. Overall, great place. Cheap and tasty. I plan on coming back. I think I would've enjoyed it a thousand times more if my jacket didn't fall, and if I didn't try and force myself to eat the other half.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.129077381, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.501612103, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Edi & the Wolf is culled straight out of a Grimm Brother's fairy tale. The decor is haunting and awesome. We were able to sit at the bar on a busy Saturday night - come early if you'd like to sit - this place draws a crowd, and with good reason. The bar tender came out of this same fairy tale, it was as if he had just descended from an Austrian pirate ship - his forearms were the size of my calf muscles! The wine was delicious. It came straight out of a tap. "Hans and Franz" is light and easy to drink - just the way I like it! My hesitations with giving this restaurant more stars is the food. Disappointingly small portions for the price. The green salad was the size of my fist. I was not a huge fan of the Wiener Schnitzel either - this is the pork wiener schnitzel (you have a choice of either pork or veal). The fried coating had strangely separated from the meat itself and it was not flavorful enough - it needed gravy, or something. I preferred the accompanying potato salad, cucumber salad, and lingonberry jam. I guess this is a bad sign when you're ordering meat, but they were actually quite good. Subtly flavored with dill. Perhaps Edi & the Wolf deserve a second chance, but until then - they're just A-OK in my book.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.191287879, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.495454545, rating is 3, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: From a guy's perspective - not...very good. Went here on a Saturday during lunch. Here are my main reasons why I'm only giving it a 2. 1. You wait ~1 hour on weekends for okay food. (not worth it) 2. The food isn't anything spectacular (had the salmon poached eggs) 3. The quantity...isn't enough to fill you up. 4. The seating was kind of bad. I sat on one of the bench edges and it's really flat. My butt hurt when I left. 5. The waitress gave me a strange look when I asked how big the dishes were (:-(), and she never smiled. I can see why a lot of people like it. It's a nice and pretty looking? But for a guy who's hanging out w/other people at a brunch place - not the best. I think it would be 3 stars if you brought a girl instead :-P. I've been to way better brunch places.

### Question: This is just a brunch review, er, diss. I can imagine dinner should/could/would be a better experience. Met a friend on President's Day (we originally met at Extra Virgin, which was closed, and then walked to Little Owl, which offers no lunch). Place was packed, not surprising with the media pop of recent months, and we were seated in a cozy window seat. The wine list was reasonable, with many glasses under $10. Coffee came with a really cool sugar dish, a modern roll top contraption. Why do I mention the fancy sugar dish? Because the positive experience ends there. My friend ordered a busy chicken salad, overdressed with egg, raw veg and some type of cured pork. I think the dressing was a lemon vinegrette. Cannot remember, but it was just ok. The salad wasn't the low point. I ordered the chef's twisted/upscale BLT (so trendy these days!). Well, ordered is up for interpretation as I was served eggs benedict on the first go round. Even as my friend confirmed that I had ordered correctly, the server still hesitated, almost challenging me on his obvious error. Always an awkward situation. When the dish arrived 10 minutes later, I found that the bread had been submerged in olive oil and the "B" was greasy and limp pancetta. There was also some sliced avocado wedged in between that did nothing but add to the mess. Suffice to say, tearing a clean bite off this sandwich was a challenge. The dish was served with a tasty side of horseradish-spiked fingerling potato salad. But overall a weak effort. I have hope for this joint, especially with all the dinner praise (and the Odeon/Pastis pedigree). But brunch is sketchy.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.076490299, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505597834, rating is 3, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: I've been trying to be more conservative lately with my reviews, especially the 5-star variety. After all, who can really achieve culinary perfection? Well, I now know the correct answer to this rhetorical question - Yasuda can (to be precise, Yasuda's 2 proteges and their army of sushi chefs can; I've heard Yasuda has since returned to the motherland, AKA Japan). I was expecting a lot from this place to be honest. As a foodie and self-proclaimed sushi expert, it's been on my list of to-eat's for about 5 years now. And I must say this was one of those rare instances in life when expectations were truly exceeded. I was fully satisfied with every single aspect of my visit to this sushi-lover's paradise and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who's really looking to take their love for the fish to the next level. From the instant I walked in I was in awe. The entire place is very small and minimalist. From the tables to the sushi bar to the walls and floor, it's all made of pale, smooth, traditional bamboo. It was all very beautiful indeed, IMHO. The waiter definitely thought my girlfriend and I were complete amateurs (which she admittedly is somewhat of). I attribute this to the fact that I ordered hot sake, which I believe is kind of a faux pas in true die-hard Japanese spots, which this is definitely one of. Oh well, I admit I'm a stupid American, what else can I say. I ordered the cheapest hot sake on the menu ($10) and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was one of the best I've had and I ordered 2 more. Now on to the food. We ordered flash fried tuna as an appetizer off the specials list. It was to die for. As were the house salad and miso soup, the former of which comes with a small bowl of greens and a side of ginger sauce which the waiter instructed my girlfriend to use to dip the greens in (as opposed to the American way of dumping the dressing on the salad I suppose?). Anyway, everything was better than average. Then came the sushi. I ordered the sushi Omakase, with around 8 pieces (the waiter instructed us to tell him of any food allergies we may have, our preferences and potential dislikes from what's on the fish list, and the approximate number of pieces we'd like to consume). My girlfriend likes to stay with what she's familiar with, so she ordered sashimi Omakase but asked to keep it to salmon and tuna varieties. Her sashimi came beautifully prepared, in small piles of thinly sliced fish. Not very large portions by any standard, but the quality was more than enough to offset the quantity issues. Most importantly, every bit was delectable. My sushi was the same. Every single bite was pretty much better than the last. The toro was like melted buttery perfection. So much so that we ordered a toro scallion roll - which turned out to be the best roll I've ever had. Also, if you like eel, be sure to try it here. You will likely never have eel that is this good again, at least not in America. Anyways, my review is getting a bit long and I could go on forever about this place. In conclusion, this was the best meal I've ever had. It was a bit pricey but was DEFINITELY worth it and I will be back. All in all we had a great meal and were pretty full, for around $220 with a healthy tip and like 5 drinks. I was recently at sushi of Gari 46 and it's not even in the same league, at least not if you're a true sushi lover. Gari has more flash and is a bit more contemporary with unusual techniques and sauces. If you are looking for true, amazingly fresh fish, served the way the emperor himself would want it, then Yasuda is the place for you. The strangest part about the whole experience is that when I was finished with my meal, I had a strange "buzz" for about 45 minutes. This truly was an experience and I can't wait until my newly established "Yasuda fund" fills up so I can go back!!!!!!!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.196163757, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.499603287, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Tiny little restaurant of amazingness! I had high expectations after reading the reviews and this place definitely did not disappoint! Had the curry mussels to start, the cherry duck breast as my main. My husband had the filet mignon & foie gras. All of it was sensational. The filet mignon & foie gras is everying you would expect and better, but very rich. The duck was a slightly less rich alternative, but equally as tasty (esp. if you like sour cherry). The sides were meh, but it didn't matter because the mains were so great. For dessert we shared the profiteroles, which were delish. I think I like this place even better than Tartine, although there is no outdoor seating. They do take reservations, but it is tiny, so probably best for groups of 4 or less. The service was amazing, too. All in all a lovely experience.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.265164474, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.497280702, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: Very good food but a little overpriced We ate at La Pizza & Pasta (get there earlier to avoid 45min wait times) and the Gelateria Recommended: * Lasagna with traditional italian ragu ($16) - soft, fresh pasta...meat sauce (beef, pork, veal) had a great savory flavor. * Pizza Sampler special ($20) - one pizza with three sections (margherita, parma ham, white pizza). Great way to start a meal and share 3 pizza flavors among our group of four. * Ask for olive oil when you get the free bread, it'll taste much better with it. * Great place to take visitors. Not recommended: * Pesto Lasagna ($16) - pesto not as flavorful, and a little strange to eat green lasagna with pine nuts on top. Not a bad dish though. * Probably not a good idea to choose the dry pasta dishes (left hand column in the menu) when you can get the dishes made with fresh pasta (right hand column). Gelato comments: Gelato was pricey ($6 for two flavors) but good quality. Grom is better as it has stronger flavor.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.25235348, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.498223443, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: Came here on a Friday night around 930. Almost walked by the place. . you have to walk though a commercial building past the elevators and down a set of stairs to get to the restaurant. Although the restaurant was in the basement, definitely did not feel confined at all. I really liked the decor. Never been to Japan, but I would imagine that's what it would like if I visited. As it is a Japanese tapas place, be sure to order enough food since the portions are on the small side. I was with a party of five, so we each ordered 2-3 dishes each. Must order the crab and rice dish. I think it's the most expensive thing on the menu besides sushi sashimi, but it's definitely worth the price. It was served in a large pot, which the waiter scooped out for us into small rice bowls. With 2 orders of that dish everyone had a full bowl of rice. Without the rice I'm sure everyone would still be hungry at the end of the meal. Overall it was a solid meal, nothing spectacular, but with the ambiance, good food and service, a place worth returning to for dinner. The highlights were the washu beef , buta and tori karaage ( fried pork and chicken), uni soba, beef tongue, tuna tartar, and the sesame creme brûlée (Delicious). Everything else we ordered was 'okay'. As with any tapas place, the prices add up quickly. For 2 people, sake and food could easily add up to 100 bucks. The meal came up to 60 bucks each, including sake and tip- not too bad for a 5 people. I read on other reviews that they have a good selection of sake. Unfortunately, the only disappointment was our sake.. We asked our waiter to recommend one for us. It wasn't a hit for the table, but it wasnt bad either. Some people complained it was salty. No complaints from me. Anyway, sakagura would be a good place for a date or drinks. Will be back for a date now that I know what items to order.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.09167769, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505191799, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: I was in there this past Sunday and the brunch was ruined by the waiter who was a total d-bag. If you see a hipster guy with like greasy jheri curl hair and bad earring (maybe southern drawl but more likely bs affect)-- that's him. btw I'm local so this isn't some out-of-towner whine. Place was packed (so much is forgivable with a decent attitude) but dude saunters over like he's doing us a big favor when he finally swings by to take our order. Was there with my girlfriend-- and parents (elderly but sharp). He talked down to my Mom as if she was developmentally disabled. Told my girlfriend they weren't "doing lattes" today although we saw people at the bar drinking them? His tone was terrible. He never fills the waters once. Never fills the coffees once. Never stopped by to ask if we needed anything at all-- although he passed right by the table non-stop. Every time I tried to flag him down he did the full ignore (obviously saw and heard me) and eventually when he stopped by he acted completely annoyed because I asked for more coffee at brunch. (Which by the way he poured half-full with a splashy finesse). Matched him to a tee. I've had bad service around town. I empathize with servers when they're overwhelmed-- but this guy was radiating jerkiness that it motivated me to post on this DAYS LATER. Hope he sees this and he changes his ways-- or somebody over there wakes up to the fact that you have an ahole server on staff. I'm an awfully nice guy. I've waited tables. I don't like writing stuff like this-- but that guy was simply over the top. Time for a career change, yo.

### Question: Balls deep in finals a couple of weeks ago, my friend and I vowed that once we made it through to the end of the semester we would make every Sunday a Sangria Sunday. Now that summer is here, we had our first Sangria Sunday at Calle Ocho. I couldn't believe how ginormous the place was! And the loud Cuban music made it so very festive. My friend and I split the Gallitos: scrambled eggs, corn tortillas, chorizo, home fries. The chorizo was nummy. I took full advantage of the unlimited Sangria bar. I had the tropical sangria and the roja and was feeling pretty good at the end of the meal.

### Question: Absolutely AWFUL. We got there around 9:30 on a Saturday night. It was packed but there wasn't a wait time. We actually sat down next to the computer where the food staff put orders in/process payment etc etc. It took 20 after we sat down for our order to be taken. We ordered some appetizers and a pitcher of sangria. It was the worst sangria I have ever tasted. Did I mention there was loud pumping techno music being played. I have been to the Caracas in the city which is smaller and more crowded and the service, drinks, and food were 100x better then this. So we got our first round of appetizers somewhat quickly which shouldn't be a shock it was just chips and gaucamole. Our next set took a while but it came out. All of us (group of 4) ordered 2 sets of Arepas. The order was put in at 9:50. We didnt get our food til after 10:30. by then it wasn't as crowded anymore and we just could not figure out what was going on. I ordered the A8 I believe which was the shredded beef. It was very good. I have no complaints about that dish. The 2nd arepa I ordered was the A18 which was the shredded pork with the spicy mango. It was *bleeping* AWFUL. No seasoning and it was a huge block of pork shoulder set between two very over cooked arepas buns. I couldn't even eat it. Let me just state again we were sitting right next to the computer where orders were put in and where payments were processed. All the waiters including the one for our table went by us at least 40 times the whole time we were there. We had to ask random waiters about our food. About our water. About our drinks. Its a shame cause I really liked the one in the city. The one in BK should be avoided at all cost.

Everyone loves fried chicken. No joke, I'm thinking of going back there right now for those pretzels & that chicken. The only thing keeping me from going back so soon is my unwillingness to become obese. If you haven't been, go. There can be a bit of a wait on weekends. I can range from 5 minutes to an hour.

### Question: I was never really a fan of the cuban sandwich until I had it at Cafe Habana. Rather than using deli meat like most places, this place uses real shredded pork which makes it all the more delicious. This is by far one of the best cubans i've ever had. In addition to that, I usually do not get corn but my friend recommended that I try it and i have to say, it was good, really good. I've been to alot of great places to eat in new york but this place really sticks out in my memories and taste buds. If i ever have friends visiting new york, I always tell them to come here now. The place is a little small so you'll have to wait to be seated, but it's totally worth it. If you dont want to wait, you can go to the take out side and order there and just eat in there. it's not as nice as the sit down side of the restaurant, but the food is just as good.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.350233586, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.49989899, rating is 5, ### Answer: Not Spam

### Question: The original location is so much better. I came in here after work by myself, ready to eat my ramen and leave. I ordered the Akamaru Modern, which is what I always eat at the EV location. The ramen at this location did NOT taste good. I am Japanese and grew up in Hawaii so I know what good ramen broth is supposed to taste like. The broth here tasted very un-clean and left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. I don't know how to describe it but to say that the flavor was wrong; there was almost a metallic taste and too much fat. Ramen is not a healthy food and it needs some fat in the broth to make it taste delicious, but I had to wipe my mouth with my napkin after every bite here. I almost wanted to send it back to the kitchen, but I was too hungry and didn't want to wait for a new bowl. :( Later that evening I got a terrible stomachache and felt nauseous, and I'm pretty sure it was the ramen because I hadn't eaten anything else that day (which is why I was so hungry). It could be that this location is still working out kinks, but I will NEVER come back here. Why? When I left, the two hostess girls in the front did not even acknowledge me or say thank you and goodbye. They both made eye contact with me and then looked away without a word. In a Japanese restaurant, even if the food is bad, the service is ALWAYS supposed to be excellent. I was extremely offended by the rudeness of the hostesses and will not come back here.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.069155844, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.493813131, rating is 1, ### Answer: Not Spam
### Question: We found Nook via Yelp reviews since we were looking for a place to grab dinner before seeing a show. Called there early afternoon to make an early dinner reservation, left a message and never heard back so we called again and they were very accommodating. Wonderful experience. Had the mushroom cigars to start. Absolutely delicious, really flavorful. Then each of us had different entrees. Chicken kabob, salmon, burger, and then salad/tuna tartar. Everyone was super satisfied. For dessert we shared the peanut butter pie. Loved that it was textured and the chocolate/graham cracker crust was delicious. Definitely will go back next time we are in the neighborhood.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.266666667, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506862745, rating is 4, ### Answer: Not Spam
