### Question: Great food and prices for portion sizes! This place is well worth the wait and deserves the good reviews. I'm glad I finally got to check it out.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.9, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.862, rating is 1,

### Question: While Casa Mono is small on space, it delivers with numerous "Americanized" Spanish Tapas dishes. Meals are served in tapas sizes, yet there is a clear delineation between appetizers and main courses. The octopus was remarkable, potentially the best I have ever had; equally impressive was the well-seasoned duck egg, which was accompanied by thin slices of ham and seasoned potatoes. The "main courses" included a well-sized lamb shank and a decent skirt steak. The only caveat may be the wine list. While it is extensive, I have had better Spanish wines at Bolo.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.202941176, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505882353, rating is 4,

### Question: Their famous soup dumplings is ok. The waiting is crazy long and you cant reserve in advance. I suggest going to other Shanghai Restaurants near mott street / elizabeth street if you dont want to wait. Btw, service sucks. they seat you with other strangers.

### Question: HIGHLIGHTS: 1) Brussel Sprouts - If there were more dishes like this, I'd be a vegan convert in a minute. 2) Sangria - The strongest Sangria in NY. You're pretty much drinking hard liquor out of a wine glass. For most people, this will be "One and Done" 3) Steak - The meat is tender and packed with flavor 4) Foie Gras - Rich, decadent goodness on a piece of toasted bread. 5) Paella - This is a better choice over the Risotto. You get more bang for your buck, and unlike the rissotto, you'll want to keep eating after your first couple bites. NOT-SO-HIGH-LIGHTS: 1) Music is REALLY Loud. Hard to have a conversation even if the person is sitting right across from you. 2) Any Fish Dish - Snapper, Bass ... In general, any fish dish seems to be weak here. 3) They only take American Express (Or Cash). This isn't a problem for AMEX users like myself, but when you're trying to split a check with multiple people that don't have AMEX, it's a real drag.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.118546366, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.496506892, rating is 4,

### Question: We absolutely loved our dining experience. The service was top notch. Our server helped us match the wine and food to perfection. We shared the short rib & bone marrow agnlotti that melted in our mouths. It was so beautiful, velvety pasta with the succulence of bone marrow. This plate took me back to my childhood eating bone marrow tacos and stews back when it wasn't popular. We continued with broccoli rabe and our entrees spiced duck breast and the ash crusted venison. Both were excellent, but the venison was exquisite. The venison's crust was perfect, flavorful and delightful. I have never had such perfect venison! The dessert panna cotta with guava and pineapple was perfectly made, not too sweet or syrupy. It was heavenly! Service was outstanding, price appropriate for the quality of the dining experience.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.881323529, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.858529412, rating is 1,

### Question: You've heard it before and let me tell you, all of it is 100% true. Those blueberry pancakes are fing delicious. Add on that maple butter syrup and its unstoppable! So fluffy and light, I ate it all. Not good for the belly but it sure was worth it. Scones are a bit dry, but that raspberry jam went so well with it. Sweet potato fries are worth a try as well as the buttermilk biscuit sandwich. As you can see, we ate a lot that morning. Defintely worth the long (long) wait.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.214102564, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506837607, rating is 5,

### Question: Wall o' sake? Non-sushi roll Japanese food?! My cup runneth over! No, seriously. You know how you go to those fancy restaurants (read: Del Frisco's) and they hand you this giant tome of a wine menu - and your head spins because you don't know where to start? Yeah. This place is pretty much the same, except it's sake instead of wine. How can you go wrong with a veritable cornucopia of sake varieties? Plus, they offer service in a masu (the traditional Japanese sake box on a platter, with the sake poured so that it overflows, signifying good luck). Okay, now the food. I took an old coworker who was in town from India here a couple nights ago, and we totally chowed down on the tapas-like grub here. Highlights: deep fried chicken chunks (lightly seasoned, very crispy, but the chicken is still tender and moist), fried shrimp balls covered in almond slivers (hello, fried shrimp balls - need I say anything more?), and definitely, definitely save room for Sakagura's truffles. I'm especially partial to the black sesame ones - black sesame covered with white chocolate and a hint of rum. Mmmm. Totally devilish and decadent. Both times I've been here, the service has been impeccable. Although I had reservations for us, the hostesses had us wait a few minutes - I assume this was to ensure quality service in the dining area because there were numerous open tables when we were seated. Plopping ourselves down at the bar, we got to see the various drinks being poured, and there was always a wait staff ready to handle our next order. Let me repeat: wall o' sake. Delicious small plates of food. Great service. Classy, chic decor. Definitely worth checking out - more than once.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.088055556, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.495902778, rating is 5,

### Question: I went here last Wednesday for dinner at around 8pm and the place was pretty empty. The venue is cool and is part speakeasy and restaurant. I had the classic old fashion which was delicious and made well. The ambiance of this place is great. Nice open space and a friendly staff. I ordered the duck confit and it was delicious. It's technically an appetizer, but I ordered it as a meal and it was just the right amount of food. The duck was juicy and tasty and goes down in history as one of my top 10 first bites. It comes with homemade gnocci and mushrooms. I highly recommend it. My friend had the vegetable soup and she said it was just okay. I would definitely come back.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.289610733, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506250945, rating is 5,

### Question: Literally speaking, there is no place in New York City you can get more bang for your buck! For $1 you can get six delicious pan fried dumplings, which is the staple of this place. However, there are many other options to explore outside of the dumplings. A variety of different sandwiches and soups are equally delicious and affordable. $2-$4 for food more than enough for one person. I literally come here and spend $5 on food and drink and leave with a full stomach and happy taste buds. The place is small with about 4 or 5 tables, and a small counter for 2 or 3 people to stand and eat. I'd say it fits about 20 people. You walk in and place your order at the register and food comes out in less than 4 minutes. It's a similar set-up to a fast food joint, where seats are on a first come, first serve basis.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.253668262, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.50330941, rating is 5,

### Question: This tiny kosher falafel spot offers up three kinds of the fried chickpea balls, and all are made to order: traditional, red pepper and spicy harissa. Pitas are warm and the platters present huge portions. The perfect compliment to a sandwich or platter of fried tastiness is one of their signature smoothies; the cantaloupe and ginger one has a pleasant bit but the liquefied cantaloupe doesn't have a ton of flavor; a better bet is the strawberry, raspberry and thai basil smoothie. Best falafel in the city in my opinion.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.393939394, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.501515152, rating is 5,

### Question: The broth is flavorful and rich. The noodles are cooked perfectly. The charshu has slightly fattier cuts than what I prefer, but it was seasoned well. ...And yes, I do like corn with my ramen. Try not to hit it when you think other people will go, because you will end up waiting in a very small cramped area staring at some hipster reading a book after he finished his meal 20 minutes ago (it happens).

### Question: This was hands down the best middle eastern food I've had in years. Everything, from the comically puffed up oven-fresh bread, hummus, to the lentil soup and lamb kebab was knocked up to perfection. The lamb was prepared perfectly, char grilled on the outside, a little pink and so tender and juicy in the middle. A meal we were happy to over-gorge ourselves on.

### Question: Hearty Banh Mi in the heart of Chinatown. Who would've thought? But hey, we have to sell them somewhere, and since there's not Viet town, a nice place close to many other Asians also works. Located in the back of a Jewelry store, this place is kind of a strange set up. It's main business is the banh mi however, and this place usually is packed with people looking to get their fix. My favorite is the pate cha, but they make a mean house special BBQ pork sandwich also. Make sure you always order spicy (which really isn't that spicy but adds some nice jalapenos for crunch and a kick). Service is quick, spot is clean. They are multilingual and speak english well and have both hot and cold desserts on the side, for those craving their sweet fix after devouring their sandwiches. Also has many other vietnamese delicacies which I can't help but eye while I'm standing in line. Usually people hide the valuables in the back. In this case, the jewelry is in the front and the banh mi is hidden in the back. We all know what the true gems in this store are.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.159060847, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506092005, rating is 4,

### Question: The second time we came here, we were a group of 12 and arrived just after it opened. The restaurant was already full and there was four people before us in the line. We got lucky though and a large pizza tasting tour that was in there before us left pretty quickly and we were seated about a half hour in line. With a view by the window, we quickly saw the line grow... and grow... and grow. The pizza - simply amazing! Love the thin crust, the cheesiness and the simple delicious pizza aroma. I was standing in line for their single stall washroom which is right behind the open kitchen and coal fired oven and witnessed a dizzying number of pizzas being made. They do it so fast! Because of the cramped space, the unflattened pizza dough is placed by the wall next to the bathroom line and I saw a fly crawl over some uncovered dough. I ate the pizza afterward anyway and the image of the fly didn't come back to bother my mind's eye. The take out line is the same as their dine-in line, so if you're going to be taking out, phone in and order ahead of time.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.215079365, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506696429, rating is 4,

### Question: What are the Three Letters? A and B and C? B and K and Y? F and R and A? W and T and F. Whatever they mean, the restaurant is a relaxed take on a French bistro in a part of Clinton Hill that's gone from culinary desert to hotspot in the space of four years. The chicken confit should be taught in culinary schools as an instructive way to take French ideas and approach and marry them with the American trend towards casual, less heavy meals. Using chicken instead of duck cuts down on the fat, while a bit of squash added texture and something to absorb the combined protein of the meat and the cream. And someone remembered that no sandwich isn't improved with mustard, the final ingredient here. Additional options in the area means more competition, and Three Letters is so low key that it does not seem to be attracting an audience. On a Sunday night, we were the only customers for more than a hour, only joined by another couple as were making our way through an after dinner drink. A slow night in a small space is difficult for a waitstaff and Three Letters didn't handle it particularly well. It was an awkward meal, where we could feel the stares from the bar and the two waitresses waiting for us to leave and the restaurant to be theirs alone. Too many table checks and the feeling of violating a fundamental principle of dining. Bad idea - how can a place going from empty to full without impressing the limited audience they have? Instead of going on and on about the food that exceeded expectations, here I am complaining about a general feeling of unwelcomeness. And I as I noted above, there are certainly other options.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is -0.097327629, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.502424355, rating is 3,

### Question: Sunday late afternoon, my long exploration made a pit stop at Joe's Shanghai. We walked from Union Square through Soho and ended up in Chinatown. My friend's had Joe's Shanghai on her food list venture. She said that a lot of people told her the Joe's Shanghai has really good xiao long bao. Xiao long bao are soup dumplings with minced pork. We ordered pork and crab pork. As I took my first bite, I expected an explosion of flavor and excitement in my mouth. No fireworks. I was not impressed. Not sure if it was all that hype from my friends and the long journey I had to get to Joe's Shanghai, my expectation standard was too high and it just didn't satisfy me. The crab pork tasted almost the same as the pork. I didn't taste any different. Many it was an off day. I'd give it another try if I make to the Eastcoast again. Top notch service. We were taken care. Tea was brough to our table immediately after seating. All the servers were attentive and not zoning off like some restaurants I've been to. I asked for water and it came within 5 minutes. Asked for the check, came in 5 minutes.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.068235294, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505130719, rating is 3,

### Question: What's with all the reviews? I really don't know why this place is rated so highly. Its a nice stop if you're really hungry or maybe drank a bit too much but honestly I don't know why it's so spectacular. The fries are good, not the best, and some of the sauces were good. We got the sweet mango chutney mayo, which I liked but was maybe a tad bit sweet for the "regular" size(the smallest) for one person. The thai peanut sauce was a no-go, had an odd flavor to it. Ketchup was the last one and that's, well, ketchup. I could have used a bit more salt on my fries and a lower price. Nice place to stop by on your way back from someplace but otherwise, just ok.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.384666667, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.496679487, rating is 3,

### Question: The Skinny: Good casual place to take your fun date, not the crazy one! Atmosphere: Classic pizza-place look. Who cares! I was there for food. Price: Mid-range. aka affordable Food: Fresh and delicious! The Long Review: Going to Grimaldi's on a weekend requires a ritual: you have stand on line that often stretches beyond the horizon and curves to the next block over. Reminds me of people waiting on the gas line after a storm. But like gas, waiting for a fresh pie at Grimald's is worth the wait. We went in and sat on a small table that barely fit us both in but not before shoving us right next to three other couples. It can be LOUD in there. But hold off on the headphones there now! When they bring out the food, they sometimes chant, letting the house know another fresh pie is about to be eaten. The food: The pizza at Grimaldi is fresh in taste. I had a margarita pie and my buddy had a pie with different toppings. Both arrived at the same time and the waiters yelled out "two hungry boys" as they brought us our pies. And oh we were hungry indeed. After all, we had a good 5 mile walk from the Island of Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge and taking the elusive walk-path stair exit that leads us pretty close the restaurant. The taste was rich with a gentle balance of sauce, flavor, cheese, coupled with the soft bites of crunchy slices that just made love in my mouth. D-licious! When we were done, we paid for it and went off to a dessert place. Overall: Good place for adults; not exactly a great place for tiny little kids but the owner/manager will try to accommodate people with kids. The people: The people are nice but they are fast paced. Well, they have to be because they have to make fresh pizza and bring them to the table in much much shorter time.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.180737434, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.506084656, rating is 4,

### Question: My boyfriend and I came here a week ago and we loved it so much we went back last night. Usually the highlight of a great restaurant is the food (obviously), but in this case, the best thing about the restaurant is the people who work here. Don't get me wrong, the food here is WONDERFUL, but I truly feel that I've never experienced service that is so sincerely friendly and casually accommodating as I have here (well, except maybe at Del Posto/Eleven Madison Park but at those places it doesn't count since you are REALLY paying for it, plus I guess neither are all that casual/sincere). I love that the owners are out on the floor making sure everyone is happy, and I REALLY LOVED that our waiter brought me a complementary glass of Zinfandel last night "just because he thought I might like it." The oysters are SO fresh and they have a great selection of wines and local beers that they rotate regularly. Ive had the bouillabaisse both times and he had the fettuccine with clams (soooooo good) the first time and the shrimp over penne last night (not as good as the fettuccine but still delish). I really appreciate how they keep the food and menu simple to highlight the quality and maintain the integrity of the fish itself. You can tell these people really know and love their seafood. In terms of atmosphere, the place is cozy, homey, and intimate. It is laid-back and casual but still has a sophisticated feel. I never really pay attention to the music in restaurants but did notice that I loved the music they were playing. No reservations but it doesn't seem to be very crowded and it's never been a problem. In fact, I feel like this place is in need of some more word-of-mouth hype, it really deserves it!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.258125, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.502240537, rating is 5,

### Question: My favorite Cuban Restaurant in New York City (Queens is in New York City in case you didn't know.) Don't waste your time with a place like Victor's Cafe. Perfectly positioned near the Number 7 Elevated Subway Junction Avenue express stop. If you must drive, eat your heart out looking for parking. You don't have to go to Miami, Florida to get genuine Cuban food at a reasonable price. All the dishes are excellent and I would be hard pressed to name a favorite but the Ropa Vieja is as good as the one my grandmother cooks. Since she doesn't read english, is 93 and unaware of the internet, she will never know I actually said so. The girth of the people who frequent here is quite large so get ready to have a treat squeezing through this crowded place when you are taken to your table.

### Question: LOVE this place. i've been there about five times since it opened, and their new location is even better. i didn't know much about filipino food before going there, but this is just GOOD food. you must order the arroz caldo, even if just to share as an app with a friend. and the hash is simply the best i've ever had, in any kind of restaurant. honestly, everything i've eaten there is completely delicious, and to be able to eat it in a garden?!,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.893429752, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.882969303, rating is 1,

### Question: I want Pommes Frites right now, if that's any indication. I think cravings indicate that something is much better than good, and I really have a hankering. Try the sauces; they will give you samples of anything you ask for. Perennial favorites are the sweet mango chutney and the parmesan peppercorn. I also really like the pomegranate teriyaki combo. Don't expect to eat here (though they let you BYOB). It really is a tiny space. Take your fries with you to one of the many, many bars nearby and enjoy them with a beer. They're terrifically unhealthy, and I refuse to wait in the ridiculous line that forms in the later hours. But if you love fries, you will love Pommes Frites.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.26015873, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505714286, rating is 4,

### Question: I love Italian food. I could eat pasta every day of the week. And don't even get me started about my obsession with basil (I seriously eat the leaves on their own). So when my sister told me about this quaint little Italian restaurant that she found where she lives, I knew I had to have her take me there when I went to visit. Consider this my love letter to PT. PT is located at 331 Bedford St. in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn. As a bonus, you can walk down Bedford and browse the funky little shops they have which will help you work up an appetite! We walked into the restaurant, past a few tables right by the open windows, and down a couple of steps into the establishment. I immediately fell in love the with place (and all without seeing the menu yet)! Its dimly lit with small candles on each table & the bar. The tables are all a dark wood which fits in nicely with the rest of the place. There is a brick walll and a fireplace that has tiny Christmas lights lit in it. The bar is sleek & clean and very inviting. You really can't help but feel at home in this establishment. So lets discuss the most important thing - the FOOD! All I can really say is OH MY GOD. I don't think I will ever have Italian this good, unless I actually decide to hop a flight to Italy. The meal always starts with imported, organic goat cheese flown in from Italy. You also get a basket of bread & seasoned oil, along with these wafer crisp, almost potato chip like things that I have yet to ask about but I should because they are addicting! Between the cheese & bread, I could easily fill up quickly on just that and wine. I've actually eaten at PT 3 times in the past 3 months (yes, I visit NY as often as possible)! Each time I've had something different and each time I've been completely floored by the excellence of the food. On my first visit I had the rigatoni bolognese. I'm picky about my sauce and this did not disappoint. The sauce had a nice zest and you could tell the meat was very fresh! This isn't sauce that sits around for months on end. I've also had the spaghetti pomodoro, which comes with fresh mozzarella & fresh basil (refer back to the first paragraph and know my excitement of this feature). Perfect dish and I ate the whole thing, leaving satisfied but not feeling disgustingly full! Last dish I tried was the tagliolini all'emiliana - a nice homemade pasta with ham, peas, parmigiano & a cream sauce. It is so rich and creamy with flavor exploding on your taste buds from the first bite to the last! I've also had the caprese salad and the calamari. Both excellent starters that will not disappoint. If you save room for dessert, make sure you get the tiramisu. It is one of the BEST tiramisu's I've had...period. The sweet flavor isn't overbearing and I believe they use something other than lady fingers in their recipe. Its light & fluffy yet decadent with that lovely espresso soaked kick. Trust me...get the tiramisu when you go. The food, the service, the ambience - you couldn't ask for a better place to eat. I am taking my husband there in a few weeks for his first time. I almost feel guilty that I've eaten there three times without him. With food that good though I can try to erase that guilt though.

### Question: Good for take-out, but the in-house dining experience leaves much to be desired. I met 4 of my girlfriends here for an early dinner (6:30) on Saturday night. Since there were 5 of us, and they only had tables for four, they slid 2 tables together. After about 10 minutes, they came around and told us we couldn't take up 2 tables, so they moved one of the tables away, and asked one of us to cram into a tiny space at the end of our table, between our table and the one they took away. Not a huge issue, but it was terribly cramped and we didn't have enough tabletop space for our food and drinks (speaking of drinks, we had to keep asking to have our water glasses re-filled). We ordered pizza, dessert and coffee. Before we finished our coffee and before our check even arrived, the hostess told us we needed to leave because they had other customers lining up and waiting. We told her that we hadn't finished our coffee yet and were still waiting for our check. She found our server and told him to hurry and give us the check, but she didn't care that we were not actually finished. We didn't want to be snotty, so we slurped down our coffee, paid our bill and walked out. We even left a generous tip. Naturally, the hostess never thanked us or wished us a good evening. I'm afraid that she doesn't understand that she works in a pizza joint, not some stupid VIP nightclub. No chance I'll be going back to this place. The pizza is OK, but nothing special and certainly not worth being treated so poorly by the staff.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is -0.036829176, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.496919879, rating is 2,

### Question: LUNCH REVIEW (It's apparent Freemans has a highly rated following for brunch and dinner): Working from home in the area, I've been for lunch and unlike the other two dining occasions, there's really no wait for lunch (served 11 am- 4 pm weekdays). The menu is a good mix of healthy and hearty. The starters list is a shorter version of just the best options from the Dinner starter list (Devil's, Artichoke dip etc.). The entrees are fish friendly with three options - on my last occasion I had the smoked trout which is excellent coupled with a light horseradish cream - the fires are excellent also. Sandwiches, salads, mac n cheese and a burger round out the other options and all seem to be well liked by either myself or those I've inquired with regarding. I especially enjoyed the more leisurely service as they aren't as busy as other lunch locations (it's the tucked away location that probably helps with this). This also lends nicely to a 2 cocktail lunch as you won't have many people around to judge you ordering that second Mexican firing squad (or what ever your pleasure is, the bartenders are open to your tastes - I prefer hot toddies on those colder days). Recommended and enjoy.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.313333333, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.493765432, rating is 4,

### Question: I think Buttermilk Channel is going to fall into that realm for me where I think its a great place but possibly not enough so that I will trek back to Brooklyn just to eat here. Unless of course I have a craving for that chicken again... The rolls they bring you when you sit down are fantastic. I don't even know how to describe them - they seem to be half beignet (sp?), half potato roll. The drinks menu is good and although I didn't order wine, the stuff they had was reasonably priced and quite good. The food was pretty fantastic and their hostess was really good to our group despite the wait. Quite frankly, call out there 2 hours prior to arrival and put your name on the list. Waiting even an hour or so before may already be too late... I saw a couple get seated from where they were having drinks at the bar and, as they were headed to their table, the guy turns to the hostess and says, with not a small amount of passive-aggression, "that really was an hour and a half". Okay... We felt bad for her - she was doing her best but the place is really popular and seating is limited.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.177000661, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.495767196, rating is 4,

### Question: We had such a great brunch here! Lets start with saying bottomless, all you can drink, sangria! And its not plain sangria, its also got rum, vodka, brandy ect in it, depending on the flavor. Sangria with a kick! At this point do you need more? The rules are strict, your sangria keep flowing as long as you keep eating. The moment you are done, they cut you off, and its time to go. Understandable. Be prepared to see everyone eating in slow mo! And I wouldn't recommend going in starving. Its like a slow torture to stare at the food in front of you while salivating, and pick at it in order to eat it slowly, while your starving! The food was good, the had a nice selection of spanish influenced breakfast dishes.

### Question: I've been wanting to try macarons for about a year now, and living around the Buffalo, NY area, I don't come around any macaron shops. But I was in NYC for a few days and visiting Ladurée was on the top of my list. I went around 4, and the line was very short. It's very pretty in there, and everyone is very nice. The guy that helped me was wonderful; charming and French. Is there a better combination? I told him to give me 10 of his favorites, and that's exactly what he did. Every macaron he gave me was phenomenal. Sweet, chewy, but crunchy exterior. Macarons are better than I expected. It's a bit pricy at $2.80 a piece not including any gift boxes you might choose to get. Still, they're worth every penny.

Then when your order is up, you go to the food truck like window to get your food and sauces. The margaritas seemed to be a little water down, but the corn on the cob was the best corn I've ever had.

### Question: I loved this place. Friendly, super attentive service. We came here just for a couple of drinks, but were given a table anyway. I appreciated their doing that even though apparently the table was reserved for later in the night. The atmosphere was buzzing but not loud, and thank you to Mr. Sound System for setting the volume low enough that I didn't have to raise my voice, yet loud enough that we could recognize the music. I haven't explored the speakeasy scene, but I liked what I saw here. It seems that most of the criticism these places get is that they can be obnoxiously exclusive or haughty. Might be the case elsewhere, but not here. I saw people having a nice time mingling at the bar, and there was even a little birthday celebration, singing and cupcakes included. I felt looked after the whole time I was there: we were brought water glasses without asking, and they were always refilled. Our drinks came quickly, and our waitress checked that we were happy with them. After we had a couple, she asked if we'd like to order an appetizer. We didn't order bespoke cocktails, but I really enjoyed my Tortuga. I should mention that I don't usually go for the fancy cocktails when I'm out. It's wine or beer when I'm taking it slow, and the occasional straight shot when I'm serious. In the summer, sometimes a mojito or a Cuba Libre will hit the spot. Point being, I'm probably not the right person to tell you everything that was special about this drink. However, if I was able to enjoy it, maybe that's proof enough. For those of you who worry about getting their money's worth, I'll note that there *has* to have been a respectable amount of liquor in my Tortuga hidden among all the other delicious flavors, because I couldn't feel my feet when I got up. True, I am a lightweight and this was on an empty stomach, but it was just one (smallish) drink. I'm not saying you should come get wasted here (that would be stupid), just that you don't need to worry about the drinks being watered down or anything. They take too much pride in their cocktails for that! Also, our waitress brought us the prettiest, neatest handwritten check ever. Seems like Ward III doesn't miss a beat on anything, seriously. I look forward to coming again. It'd be fun to sit at the bar and watch the action, order a bespoke drink and maybe try the sliders.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.16962522, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.500097002, rating is 5,

### Question: I live few blocks away but often I forget about this place. I remember when I came last, some got sick from their fish. I forgot all about it and I went for lunch with my young family visiting for LA and CO today. We had a perfect lunch. It's never busy during a week for lunch and very quiet yet comfortable. We ate and talked without rushed. The amuse-bouche came in usual espresso cup. It was soup with form on top with lemon color ring around. It was good and comforting. I thought perfect for cold spring rainy day. Initial citrus flavor surprised me. Then, richness of soup followed. This amuse-bouche helped me down my rush-hurry of New York life and anchored me to start to enjoy my dining. I chose Crab salad that I always enjoy. It was good as always. The dressing made it to shine. The tiny chopped shallot in lemon vinaigrette dressing around the mount of crab meat with sliced mango sank me deep into the arched couch. I chose Yellowfin tuna burge for secondr. It was highly suggested by our waiter but it was not for me unfortunately. The fish wasn't fresh enough and fishy taste over power the burger for Japanese. The curly thin sliced chips were good. I guess I never have good experience with fish here. I will remember to skip fish next time. For dessert, I chose pineapple pie (It was like Galette des Rois. It sandwiches with dense flaky pastry and some nutty filling inside). The filling was pineapple instead. It came with lemon sherbet. Unfortunately my dessert was just fine. Not all made me smile but overall dining experience was good.

### Question: No prefixe Friday night (it's stated online 3-8pm... But one of the waiters just shrugged when I asked). Ambience is cheesy (two dressed mannicans in the window by the bar, matching shelves with "period" cans) with the air of an old age home -- cold (literally has to wear a scarf the whole time) and attended by few (only 1 other table). The service was fine until we waited 20min for the waiter to come back (from..?) so we could ask for the check. Food was mostly tasty (shell steak & sesame salmon), but pesto on steak was weird (bitter without an actual flavor so I removed it) & salmon was overwhelmed with sesame. My mom loves creme brulé -- so we ordered one. The creme seemed sparse (as in where the hell is it?) And the texture was too too thick. The way-too-thick sugar crust was the worst part. The butter that comes with the bread for the table is strange, too... Tasted like raspberry vinaigrette with unsalted butter. For the price and ambiance in the place, I won't be back. Better money spent at one of the many fine, warm establishments where subpar food doesn't grace the over-priced menu.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.006884058, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.5, rating is 3,

### Question: Lan Zhou is a tiny noodle outpost in the thick of Chinatown. Enter the small quarters and you'll be greeted with a food + show experience. You'll see a man tossing up handmade noodles much like the old pizza parlours of days past. You'll also see dumplings being hand rolled. In this joint, authenticity rules the day - I haven't tasted beef noodle soup like this since my childhood visits to Taiwan. The broth is savory, not too oily or salty - refreshing change from the increasingly "touristy" joints that surround busy Canal street. Lan Zhou is not for the reticent...not for the timid tourist. Go here for the grub, not for the service. As you enter - take a quick look at the menu posted on the wall and simply shout out your order. If you sit idely waiting for someone to take your order...you will sit there forever. My recommendations are the classic beef noodle soup and for the more adventurous- the beef tendon soup. At $4.75 a pop this has got to be the best deal in town! Even in Chinatown. Finally, an order of fried dumplings are also a must-have - and make sure to take home a bag of dumplings - $8 bucks for a bag of freshly made pork dumplings.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.2, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.496335201, rating is 4,

### Question: Its a bit cramped so don't go with a big group and expect to get seated right away. You're basically sitting on top of each other next to strangers having to hear parts of random convos...not my favorite BUT the food was GOOD! The watermelon margarita was good although they forgot the salt around the rim. The chips tasted like home made tortilla chips and the three salsas were amazing. The enchiladas de mole poblano were very good! I search high and low for good mole poblano sauce and this one is a winner! The camarones borrachos were good too! Yes its a bit pricey but its worth it.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.377857143, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.501919643, rating is 4,

### Question: Very unassuming hole in the wall with Himalayan/Nepalese cuisine. The only place I've been that's comparable to this place is Himalayan Yak. I think the momos are better here. The meat in the dumplings is more juicy and flavorful, and the momos in general are cooked better. The other dish we ordered, a curry with vegetables, glass noodles, and beef, was pretty meh. First of all, barely any curry flavor, and the dish was watery. Also, this might just be the way it's traditionally served, but really, what is the point of the noodles? They're sort of just barely there and it's all served atop of rice, so you already have your starch there. Food is served quickly and the prices are very reasonable.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.201222222, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.495888889, rating is 3,

### Question: Tucked in the Gramercy Park Hotel, Maialino is a fitting gem of Gramercy. It's encapsulates the feel of the neighborhood--class, comfort, and history. Get on that flatbread!!! CAROTE--REFRESHING NON-ALCOHOLIC drink choice for brunch. It had an extra kick from the GINGER but I loved it. SUPPLI AL TELEFONO--GOURMET MOZZARELLA-TYPE STICKS? This appetizer brought out my inner fat girl who's always craving a combination of crispy, saucy, cheesy, and a bit of starchy goodness. I couldn't get enough!! PORCHETTA--HUGE FOOTLONG ROAST PORK SANDWICH. I SHARED this with a friend so the portion was just right. The EGG was RUNNY and the PORK was COOKED PERFECTLY but LACKED SOME FLAVOR. Overall, it was a good sandwich but it DIDN'T KNOCK MY SOCKS OFF. I also wasn't a fan of the bread. **if you want something CHEESY, order the CACIO E PEPE TORTA DI OLIO D'OLIVA--SO GOOD!! Olive oil, what olive oil? It didn't cross my mind at all because this MOIST ANGEL OF A DESSERT overcame me. Top it off with vanilla bean marscapone and I was in heaven. PANNA COTTA--BEST panna cotta I've had in NYC. The consistency was SO SMOOTH and SILKY and it paired very well with the rhubarb, surprisingly. Decor is very warm and comforting. It's not screaming bougie but it does feel more upscale than your typical trattoria. Turn the corner from the hostess stand and you'll be blown away by the amount of space and seating. It's bustling, vibrant, and when the sunshine comes in, it's such a pretty and simple space. **Something that really attracted me to their MENU is VARIETY. Even though it's menu has quite the selection (all the dishes sound appealing), it STILL HELD IT'S INTEGRITY and QUALITY OF FOOD. They serve ALL MEAL TIMES and even serve LATE NIGHT SNACKS! I can't wait to try that. I'll be coming back for sure. FYI MAKE A RESERVATION,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.273909226, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.505391534, rating is 4,

### Question: Just got back for a lunch after a recommendation from a friend. Had the focaccia lunch special with eggplant, mozzarella, peppers, etc. Delicious! Everything was fresh.

### Question: i don't even want to give a star. the service is the worst service in the past 13 years of my new york life. most of their food are good though. WHAT NOT TO DO; *don't order duckwalk wine -- it is not a restaurant grade wine, not even a house wine grade. it was one of the wine bottles you buy because it is on sale, and you find out it was a failure at home.... you know what i mean *make sure they let you taste when you order a bottle of wine -- our server was, i suppose, new at the job. he didn't let us taste the bottle first. *don't be the last table -- they will come around your table and give you 'the stare', and manager tells you that it is time for him to go home. *don't expect good service and be ok with paying same amount that you can get good food with good service.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.183972538, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.497529987, rating is 1,

### Question: The menu is limited to easy preparing French cafe foods, pissaladière, Provençal tians, croques, housemade charcuterie, and assorted tartines made with baguettes from Royal Crown (I found it about later) and fromagerie were presented with American charm, small pates are placed on a small sliver cake stand like you see those at good-old-days-American bakeries like Billy's and Magnolia. Deconstructed croque-monsieur and croque-madame ($10 each and small) were not cheesy gooey ones that I remembered when I was a poor student in Paris. The closest CM that I can get in the village is from Tartine. Buvette croque-madame - sourdough bread was cut in half, buttered and stacked them up like half sandwich. Place a sunny-side egg and prosciutto like ham were mounted on top of it and placed a small bread plate (see the photo). It's really cute if you are lucky to have your small plate on a small sliver cake stand. The small cake stand works perfectly fitting into a small table and adds dimension to a table. I enjoyed my first tasty bite of a bit heavy on butter croque-madame but enough to satisfy as lunch. Salade De Poulet ($15) reminded of Salade Niçoise without my favorites, anchovies, tuna and boiled egg, obviously it's not tuna but chicken. I enjoyed it! It was very satisfying salad. Abundant of tasty French mustard vinaigrette dressing mixing in with shredded chicken was fulling and tasy (see the photos). .,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.029278274, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.500818452, rating is 4,

### Question: I loved the atmosphere of Walter Foods as soon as I sat down. It had an old school vibe to it, and instead of putting us at a cramped table for two, a friend and I got a spacious booth and the host was accommodating, even asking if the temperature in the restaurant was okay. Waiters were sharply dressed in white button ups and ties. For a second, I thought I hadn't crossed the East River and was still at work in the Financial District. Our water glasses were constantly being refilled and the moment I finished my alcoholic beverage, I was immediately asked if I wanted another before my glass hit the table. Guess it looked like I had a rough day. To kick off the night, we started with some cocktails. While they were a little pricey at $11 a pop, they certainly had some specialties - including a Dark and Stormy (gosling dark rum/ginger beer), which I typically only see on vacation in Bermuda. Clearly I was in heaven with the drink, but was a little disappointed in the price. Our appetizers came out first, and we went with fried calamari and crispy green beans (green beans in tempura). Please note that these are on the menu at the restaurant, but not on the online menu. We were both unfortunately disappointed with both these dishes. My roommate wasn't a big fan of the teriyaki sauce with the green beans, and we agreed a spicy wasabi dipping sauce may have gone better with it. Luckily, we had some jalapeno mayo type dressing with our calamari, so we used this as a substitute. I like to consider myself well-read in the art of fried calamari, as it truly is my appetizer staple, and this was disappointing. The plate was mostly tentacles and I found myself digging through flecks of friedness in hopes to find a ring or two. Unfortunately, the whole plate was just overly fried. Dinner though was redemption. Crystal and I decided to split two sandwiches - a filet mignon french dip and a lobster roll. Both came with fries, but we swapped one of the fries out for mashed potatoes. They were so delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy and well seasoned and I loved that Walter Foods gave us a tray of dipping sauces. The lobster roll had huge pieces of meat and it wasn't overly mayoed. As far as the french dip goes, every time I eat a steak sandwich I feel like an idiot because I have such a hard time biting into the sandwich and I usually end up pulling away with a huge piece of steak coming out of my mouth (See? Who wouldn't want to go on a date with me?). Not the case here at Walter Foods. The meat was tender and the tangy horseradish sauce was a great complement. The mashed potatoes were also delicious with the right amount of garlic, and let's just put it this way - I had about two tablespoons of potatoes and a quarter of a sandwich and I brought it home because I couldn't bare to toss that deliciousness away. While I loved the sandwiches we got, unfortunately the first course was a bit of a disappointment. I would head back again for the sandwiches but I'd be a little worried to try too many new things since I felt like some of the items on the menu were a hit or miss. Overall, if you are in BK or have friends who live there, check it out, but I don't think Walter Foods should be the reason some Manhattanites travel to Williamsburg for the first time.,Sentiment_Polarity(-1 to 1) is 0.071548108, Sentiment_Subjectivity(0 to 1) is 0.499021082, rating is 3,
