1 | I had heard a lot about Crescent Grill from a friend who lives in the neighborhood. Â Craving a good, spicy Bloody Mary and with kids and husband out of the house, I decided on the spur of the moment to take the E train to Queens on a snowy Saturday. Â I was glad that I did. I enjoyed the Wagyu beef burger and handcut fries, which were superb. Â The burger was a real medium-rare, just as I had ordered it, and the fries were perfectly cooked: crisp and golden on the outside and soft and hot on the inside (sounds like food porn, so please forgive). Â And I washed it down with two of the most delicious Bloody Marys that I had ever had. Â The bacon really adds to the flavor. Â Yum. Â I'll be back... | 0 |
2 | I really can't rave about this place enough. It's good if you're just a bit peckish, you can get a couple plates and be satisfied, but if you're looking for a full meal and don't want to spend a lot, go elsewhere. Last year I did the Bo Ssam for a birthday celebration and it was amazing. If you're looking to try it call well in advance. I had mine reserved a month before the actual day (which is as far in advance as they'll book it). There's definitely a lot of unusual stuff, but if you're willing to be adventurous it's an excellent place. The pork buns are delightful and while I'm sure if you know a great traditional korean place you might find better, but they're definitely delicious, ironically because they were a last minute addition to the menu. They've recently added a full bar and I haven't tried any of their cocktails, but I'd bet money they're good. Just a warning, despite how long this place has been open it's still popular and if you go during a rush you can be looking at an hour wait. If you're looking for the David Chang experience on a more limited budget I'd honestly suggest noodle bar instead. You can get a big bowl of noodles and split a small plate or two if you want and get full for much less money. | 0 |
3 | Delicious!! When you first enter there are so many choices to pick from, they are all wonderful. Also, not your typical toppings either, these are creative combinations that taste ideal. The portion is perfect too; one slice and you are more than satisfied. The pizza is made differently, meaning in a much healthier way, without sugar and with very fresh ingredients. It's noticeable in the great taste. They offer so many choices that I always look forward to trying a new slice. The staff and management are all very nice and the location is very pleasant. Since I first went there I find myself choosing to buy my lunch from there more and more. The pizza is simply delicious. great place and I recomend it to all of my friends | 0 |
4 | Love the Pizza with tartufo my favorite, love the decor so welcoming, The owner Sebastian  is super sweet , The bartender is the nicest girl ever, some of the staff have attitude but other then that , Its an amazing place to eat diner even if its a long wait at times. Surely worth the wait!!! | 0 |
5 | I've been looking for this place for a really long time, finally found it thanks to new maps app that suggested I go. | 0 |
6 | Frankies 457 was good, I heard a lot of fuss about this place so i was happy we where going there to as a group. We had to wait a while for tables, they where pretty busy Frankies is small so we waited at a bar on the other corner called Goldenrod, Nice atmosphere bar was full so we got a table. 30 mins later we finally go into Frankies food was good not great but good drinks are pricy too. We left and went back to the other place to have some cocktails they had a nice garden too | 0 |
7 | I have been eating at Cafeteria for more than a decade. I live in the neighborhood and frequently have dinner there with my wife and child. Not anymore. Upon my last visit, i was told they would not let us sit at a table for 3 outdoors during prime dinner time because my child wasn't a person.  Bear in mind this was a sunday night, on labor day weekend, when all NY restaurants have plenty of tables. I was then told by the manager we could sit inside near the kitchen but  they don't have booster or child seats "because we're not exactly a family friendly restaurant" So be it Cafeteria. you've just lost me and my family as a customer. | 0 |
8 | Visited for the first time this month. As they say  "You only have one opportunity to make a first impression." While it may be a cliché, it is true.The staff was very polite and welcoming. Lance, the manager was very friendly and helpful. I visited for a dinner party of at least 30 or more people. He had it all under control from the minute we walked through the door. The service was great and Priscilla, our server, was very polite and patient with our large group. The food & drinks were awesome! The  ambience of the place was beautiful with a great view of the city. Definitely going back a second time. | 0 |
9 | One of my favorite lunch spots. Â Get the Tres Bikini (fancy grilled cheese) sandwich, it's consistently amazing. | 0 |
10 | This place was amazing. Great sandwiches (I had the pork belly, and it was melt-away tender), but what sets the place apart are the loaded kimchi fries. They were unlike anything I've ever had before. Crazy delicious. We also sampled the chicken wings. They have a soy-garlic glaze that is really something special. We left stuffed and happy. | 0 |
11 | Okay, I'm a big fan. Â So let me get that out right up front. Â But I am so pleased to see an ever growing crowd for this restaurant. Â Grant C is right that the place is not much to look at, which in my mind gives it its charm. Â But try it this Spring when the front windows are open and the crowd is bubbling with quiet conversation. Â You've got to try the following dishes: Â the Moroccan lamb shank is superb, and I cook this quite often so I know how much goes into getting it right; the simple roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and vegetables defines well executed comfort food --- it's not just slapping butter and carbs together; I really enjoy the scallops which are always fresh and perfectly cooked, and sit atop beautifully julienned and firm beets; recently introduced was a bouillabaisse to die for; and the steamed mussels are cooked in an exquisite stock --- I wanted to lick my plate. Â As I am a regular, and don't drink, the chef made me a virgin ginger martini --- OMG. Â Honestly, I find myself swirling food, and now drink, around my mouth trying to figure out what the flavors are. Â Â Still LOVE the place. | 0 |
12 | Very delicious Italian food. Everything at this place is literally gorgeous! Cant wait to go there again next weekend:) Prices are also reasonable. | 0 |
13 | Cute restaurant and fish market in one without the smell. Waiters were mixed in service. One seemed quickly annoyed when my friend asked the differences between two beers. However, another recommended 2 bisques to share among three of us versus each ordering one considering all the other items we ordered, and he was spot on. Crab and lobster pumpkin bourbon bisque was delicious! Highly recommended. We didn't come for happy hour but it'd be worth it for the oysters. They were fresh and tasty. The other appetizers we had were good but the bisque and oysters were what stood out for us. | 0 |
14 | Bohemian has definitely become one of our favorite places. Â Great food..wonderful service..cool, cozy, intimate ambience..so comfy, you'll end up chatting and sharing dishes with next tables. Â Tried too many delicious dishes to list all..with one exception..just one; husband and I had beef with their sliders. Â Why put mayo & ketchup on really good meat? Â We would've preferred w/o. Â I still love you, Bohemian! | 0 |
15 | we have tried many chinese restaurants before we discovered WONTON GARDEN. our search have stopped and that is the only place we go when we head to chinatown. Â my father one day took us there and told us that he has been coming to this place since 20 years ago. me and my husband have passed this place every time and we never thought much of it. Â so we visted the restaurant with my father. oH MY GOODNESS amazing AUTHENTIC food. * stewed beed cubes with egg noodles - beef was done right and so soft and tender. * roast duck * pot stick * lamb stew * dumplings are really authentic * i love seafood noodle soup with ho fun for 2 of us we get really full for $20 more or less with tip. and when we leave i always order take out beef stew with noodle for my doggy at home. Â after we eat we go across the street and go to TEariffic for a nice cup of milk black tea with pearls. OH YES | 0 |
16 | took me a long time to find a BBQ place that I can trust. Â Growing up in TX, I have very high standards. Have yet to be disappointed by this place. Can get a little crowded, but it's worth the wait. | 0 |
17 | Two members of my party ran like an hour late, but the staff was really cool, Â let us chill out, eat some appetizers, listen to some AWESOME music, drink some beer and just chill. In terms of the waiters, they couldn't have been more awesome (even if we did annoy them a bit taking up a table for five in a place that may seat 30 people). The food was otherworldly. We got crab cakes as an appetizer. They were really small, but they were 100% crab. No filler, just crab. And they were spectacular. I've had a ton of crab cakes, these were the best. I got the sea bass diner, which was delicious, filling and CHEAP, like $18 dollars if I remember correctly. Two people in my party ate the linguini with clams (said it was the best they've ever had), and two had the lobster bake (ditto). They all loved the beer, as well (I, being a loser, didn't have any). The dessert whiskey cake was great. It was free, and you get a little slice of pound cake soaked in whiskey. I'm not a whiskey fan at all, but I devoured it. The setting (small, but always buzzing) was cool, the music (Weezer, Oasis, MGMT) was great, the small talk with the staff (one guy used to live in the town next to mine Upstate, which totally made the name of the restaurant make sense) was fun and it was one of the best meals I've ever had in New York. Go. Now. | 0 |
18 | This is a great new addition to the neighborhood. So far everything I've had is delicious. Great brunch! The eggs florentine were perfectly done and the french toast was superb. La Gigogne is also nice for dinner. Salads are fresh and flavorful, spatzle terrific. I haven't tried the tartes flambees yet but they look pretty tasty. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is friendly and attentive. Eat here! | 0 |
19 | This is the most delicious piece of Pizza I have ever experienced in my entire life. | 0 |
20 | Another great night at Posto. Service was quick and friendly. I shared a Brie crostini and a large Fafandone with my partner, sausage was sweet & spicy, sun dried tomatoes juicy & sweet. I tried a glass of their Chablis, nice & crisp, my partner had a glass of the Frappato, which was different. Overall, if waiters aren't slammed expect to have food out fast and your service speedy. Word on the streets is that the same owner of Posto is opening a restaurant across the street, Mexican Tapas! bring it!!! | 0 |
21 | $1, 5 dumplings. Â Yes, please.This has become my go to place, get off the B/D, stop by Prosperity on my way home. | 0 |
22 | This is what i've been looking for, I had a little trouble finding it but I can say now that I know about it I'm very satisified and would like to recommend it so, it's easier for others to find out about it in the future. Good soldi quality and friendly people. nothing This place has brought me nothing but peace of mind and makes run home to my computer to write this up and spill out my guts about how much i love them. I'm so glad gives me an opportunity to tell the world about this place. Had excellent experience here. Awesome! | 0 |
23 | This place is awesome! It still has the same cool, down to earth, vibe that Life had, but with much better food and a much needed renovation! This is definitely my new favorite spot. | 0 |
24 | i dont get what the hype is. the french fry is good but if a place called pomme frites screws up the actual frying of the french fry then they shouldnt be in business. what i dont get is the sauces. i tried couple of their most popular ones and sorry to say but i thought it was disgusting. if i was eating the fry alone with ketchup or hot sauce i wouldnt mind. | 0 |
25 | exotic exotic exotic !!!! At first i wasn't sure to venture from the regular cheese pizza everyone is used to. I gave it a try to taste other pizza varieties. I was so surprised the veggie pizza was excellent. Â Great price and service. | 0 |
26 | Loved it here - charming little place with great food. Â Try the Octopus and Mussels. | 0 |
27 | Fettuccine special, with pesto and grilled rock shrimp, potrei anche morire dopo questo piatto di pasta.. DELICIOUS!! nice time and good service, such as food | 0 |
28 | The pizza is as good as the hype says and the service is actually very nice, an old Brooklyn feel, given how few people are working and how huge the demand is! The hubs was craving pizza (no surprise there) so I asked the friend we're staying with where to go. She recommended Di Fara and we were on our way... it's almost funny how quickly we rallied. No sooner had she said "world famous" then the screaching of our rental car tires were speeding away. She warned us about the wait, but we are a patient people. I will come back again and again and again for this. Don't complain about the wait. Your food is worth it. If you're upset about it, go to dominos. | 0 |
29 | Their Soup dumplings are expensive and way overrated. They carry that zagat review as if they are the end all be all of Chinatown. It's fine by me. Tourists seem to LOVE this restaurant and I avoid is at all costs. Tourists have little experience with soup dumplings and likely chinese food that doesn't come in the fast food form and thus don't know any better. Like I said, very over rated for their price but I'm fine with it as long as tourists don't clog up the other restaurants! | 0 |
30 | Amazing pizza. So perfectly thin. The shroomtown pizza is on a whole different level. | 0 |
31 | Great Place For food lovers! Leuke klein restaurant in de upper westside waar met liefde voor eten gekookt wordt. De eigenaar struint dagelijks de markten af om met lekkere, eerlijke en gezonde specials te komen. Een echte aanrader! | 0 |
32 | I'mhappy to say that I found luzzo's because the pizza there is simply out of this world. This pizza makes me feel like someone finally put high standars to new york pizza. The best. | 0 |
33 | I have been to Jacob's Pickles upwards of 10 times for both Brunch and Dinner.  The restaurant is incredibly cozy and trendy with lots of exposed brick and white-washed wood.  It is a very cool atmosphere with a mixture of small tables and large communal ones. Dinner is absolutely delicious. I almost always get the Chicken, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese biscuit sandwich, but their other entrees are great, too, especially the fish tacos! Beware, the serving sizes are quite large.  The cocktails are very good here and the beer selection is great. Brunch is equally incredible.  It appears that the breakfast sandwiches and the chicken and pancakes are very popular.  The BLT Bloody Mary is very popular, but my friend said it was a little too horseradish-y.  I have only ever had their pickles once, and they are GREAT!  Again, the serving sizes are huge and you will likely receive too many pickles.  DO NOT get more than one variety if you are in  party of two people. Order a couple varieties only if you are with at least 3 or 4 people. As other reviewers have mentioned, the owner is very friendly and often very present in the restaurant.  It's true that the restaurant will text you when your table is ready for brunch, which is super convenient.  Expect to wait 45-60 minutes for weekend brunch. | 0 |
34 | i really enjoyed this place! the food is delicious and they dont skimp on portion sizes. I Â was thoroughly impressed with everything. While we had a reservation and still had to wait about 15 minutes past our set time, the food/drink was well worth it. I will be back again soon! | 0 |
35 | The interior is really cool. Speaking of cool it was too cool in there, they did not have the heat on when I went in for a late lunch. Â So I had a chill while I ate my food. Also I ordered a fish burger with a side of fries. Â The fish burger was suppose to be cod & salmon. Â It was probably 99%cod & 1%salmon. Â It was bland and pretty flat tasting. Â On the menu it said it was $14 but when the bill arrived it was suddenly $15. Â The fries tasted like they were the frozen fries you would pick up from a key food--generic, tasteless &reheated. Â I think this place is for the transplants(and there are so many now!) who have moved in to fort greene who maybe have a different palette/standards. Â As a native, I would not go back to this place or recommend it. | 0 |
36 | Total Disappointment. Â Great decor and atmosphere, way overpriced mediocre, at best, food. Â I've eaten here twice, the first time was not so good, but it had just opened so I waited several months and came back to see if any improvement. Â Nope, the meat and sides were of average quality with premium prices. Â I had the scallops which were fairly good, my girlfriend had the steak tartar which was heavy and tasteless. Â I had their new signature duck dish which sounded fabulous from the waiter, but ended up being pungent in taste with a runny sauce. Â My girlfriend had the Salmon, which my guess is that it was cheap farm raised, as it tasted bland and wasn't flaky at all. Â The service was a little slow, but nice. Â The rustic decor was very good. Â I can't recommend this place though, as pricing versus the quality and taste of the food just doesn't match up. Â And, it is SOOOOOO out of the way, I can't justify spending the time and money on a bad dining experience. Â If you want a drink or glass of wine, maybe. | 0 |
37 | Loving both seafood & craft beers, this place called out to me. It's very small (plan for this when wanting a table on the weekends - we waited over an hour & 1/2 for one!). We sat at the bar and enjoyed an immense plate of oysters that were shucked right in front of us, ranging from East, West & Northern Coasts and offered a vast array of flavors. The main courses are small, which can be quite nice but take heed to this and order sides if you are starving to death! Though the dishes are small, they are well executed seafood plates that offer the freshest of locally caught fish & shellfish typically paired with a grain of pasta. The waitstaff is delightful, especially the people working the bar. If you strike up a conversation with them, you quickly realize how quirky and generous they are, which is handy when wanting to know more about a beer or to taste their freshest tapped keg. This is a great place to spend a calm yet satisfying Friday evening. | 0 |
38 | Hunks! My girlfriend asked if this review was going to be sexy, and I was like, um, yeah, it's about Black Tree! Â As the stereotype of the 30-something bored housewife, I can't express enough how much I appreciated the staff at Black Tree. Even the one who's kinda a big deal in the film industry and kinda too cool for school to talk with us was still eye-candy. Mac serenaded us (well, at least that's the way I'm going to remember it) with songs from the 1990s alternative Pandora station, that he says switches to hip-hop around 8:30. The drinks he made us were yummy. My skillet cookie was probably yummy too, but I was lost in the smile and witty conversation of the exotically-accented charmer who brought it to me. Â Sandy entertained our probing questions about his life, and left me and my gf humming "Everything has Changed" around the LES. Ladies, do yourselves a favor! | 0 |
39 | The service absolutely sucks! We were there for brunch on saturday and the place was only half full. After ordering a bottle of wine we were told it is not available AFTER 20 minutes of waiting for it. Then we ordered a different wine which didn't show up for over 10 minutes, at which point we decided to leave. Would NOT recommend this at all. | 0 |
40 | We weren't sure what to expect from a restaurant in a store. We had one of the best meals we have eaten (compared on a global basis.) The vegetables were out of this world. Luckily we were there at the crossover between the peas many ways and the squash many ways, so we got to have both. Can hardly wait until next year when the peas come back. The staff was very informative and made sure that we lacked for nothing, including a little time after the meal to chat over coffee. Highly recommend this restaurant. | 0 |
41 | This food is simply stunning. In every meal (of which we have had at least six) the execution is flawless, the flavors continue to be new, exciting and complex, and the atmosphere and wait staff are very pleasant. The food is always complimented by a well-selected beer and wine list. Above all, the Chef must be commended for his complementary amuse bouches. Every time we visit, we are presented with a new amuse bouche that consistently sets the tone for the coming exquisite dishes. In short, you must try this restaurant. The menu is always fresh and seasonal and cooked to perfection. This place is fantastic for date nights and anniversaries. P.S. Try the tasting menu! It is worth every penny. | 0 |
42 | Honestly, one of the most amazing sandwiches I've had! i cannot believe how good their pulled pork is and how good their brisket is.... side of hot sauce and their own (unique but interesting) pickles, and I'm good to go ! :) | 0 |
43 | The Food was great! I got invited by a friend of mine, and i was very pleased. Will def go back! | 0 |
44 | Took my wife and kid to have lunch, very disappointed. I should have known this is not an authentic Mexican place. Their servings are for children-after lunch we grab some buns in chinatown. Food is mediocre, if you really want real Mexican food this is not the place. The sides are a joke-I got the tortilla for $3.00 and they gave me like 4 really tiny tortillas, maybe I'm used to real authentic tortilla but this thing is really a joke. This is trying to be cool tortilla but if you are really hungry this is not cool..... | 0 |
45 | clearly 1 of the best places for sushi in NY. NOT for sushi amateurs. i don't mean for  that to be an insult, but it'll be hard for to appreciate sushi of this caliber one considers a california roll sushi, or the concept of wasabi placed under the fish is confusing. just go to sushi samba if that's the case and save yourself the trip and money. otherwise, the toro is phenomenal. sit at the sushi bar w yasuda and have him give you every type of toro, yellow tail and any other fish you like. personally, i love the tazmanian trout. it's fantastic. keep in mind, yasuda will keep feeding you at the pace you eat until you say stop or pause. don't be shy about saying either, because he won't be shy about tossing more your way. will certainly be going back whenever i can afford it! | 0 |
46 | I have lived in the area for a few years and found this spot last week. A group of us sat at the bar and we had a great time with the bartenders, a girl and an Irish guy who were so funny and made us laugh all night! We had planned to just go for one drink for happy hour and ended up staying all night! We had a great time with some regulars too, who made us feel very welcomed! Happy Hour goes till 8, which is so great and rare! Get the Nocturnal cocktail! It is a gin and tea martini! Amazing! We had the fried pickles, lamb sliders, and 1.50 oysters. The decor is incredible. I am a designer myself and it is so obvious how well planned out the lighting and decor is. This place is definitely a hidden gem in Murray hill! Can't wait to go back and try their brunch menu out! I think they have live music on Wednesday and Thursday too in their speakeasy. | 0 |
47 | If you're going to charge $7 for a falafel wrap at what is essentially an outdoor food fair (Madison Square Eats), it better be fantastic. It wasn't. Fresh ingredients to be sure, but for fall-apart, surprisingly bland falafel balls with some greens and tahina sauce, $7 was just too much. For example, at a gorgeous, classy restaurant I was just at (Turkish Kitchen), I paid $7 for the falafel appetizer, which consisted of five beautifully large, filled-with-herbs falafel patties and tahina sauce, where I was served and sitting in a dimly lit, air conditioned establishment --- not eating in the hot sun standing by a metal pole in the middle of the street. Also the pressed chicken sandwich, sounding so yummy with it's description of "with garlic whip and vegetables", at $8, was a very bland letdown. Some cooked chicken with no flavor topped with a light mayo and some cucumber. | 0 |
48 | True, it's really not worth traveling to. Management doesn't seem to care about the bar service or the food. Stick w. the burgers and you'll be fine. | 0 |
49 | Great spot - the place is A Number 1 consistent. Casual and fun atmosphere, Â the food is great but don't come here looking for a fancy italian meal. Just simple straightforward good food served by nice people. | 0 |
50 | Love this place! Great foods and happy people! | 0 |
51 | One of my husband's favorite place to eat. Â He drag the whole family there at least once every month. Â Good selection of buffet and salad bar but my husband goes for the bbq meat. Â It is cool that you pay for what you get. Â So you can get a little or a lot. | 0 |
52 | Home run! Â This restaurant opened about a month ago and after passing it a few times we decided to stop in for dinner last night. Can't say enough about how friendly the staff/owners are. They helped us sort through the menu. I observed them be extremely family friendly and even dog friendly. Definitely a neighborhood spot. Menu was a perfect mix of French with some German influence. We had beef spatzle, and some of the tartes flambes all were outstanding. Liquor was reasonably priced and a very nice wine selection. | 0 |
53 | I only been to this restaurant once but I love it. Â The food is great and maybe really great....oh, that's called delicious. Â The service from the owner is very appropriate and friendly. Â The wine we ordered was out of stock and the owner actually took the time to let us try a few until we are happy with one. Â I did not expect such service from a such restaurant. Â The location is a little out of way but will still visit again. | 0 |
54 | Gramercy Tavern is an NYC classic. With the beautiful setting and perfectly executed dishes, it's a must try for a special night out. Â You have two options - sitting at the bar and eating a la carte off of the Tavern menu, or dining on the chef's tasting menu. Â We were able to walk right in and sit at the bar within 5 minutes. Â The Tavern menu has great options - we had the oysters, duck liver mousse, pork and fennel sausage and the chicken. Â For dessert we tried the strawberry pie with mint ice cream. Every dish was outstanding, so don't think by sitting at the bar you are getting shafted in the least. Â They also have great specialty cocktails and super friendly bartenders. Â So if you're looking to take your date out to some place really special, and are willing to shell out some extra cash, Gramercy Tavern should be at the top of your list. @datenitenyc | 0 |
55 | It was a really cool place actually! I liked their communal table, the food was good, and the staff was so friendly. This place has a very interesting decor, its dark inside and very nice, cozy and  inviting. Like I said there are communal tables, they are located in the front, but you have more private areas in the back of the restaurant. Udon noodles probably one of the best I have ever had. They were simply delicious. Also had their tuna avocado roll - I will remember to order it next time I come here. Their tuna is fresh, really fresh. However the prices a bit high for the small portions that they have. | 0 |
56 | Ate here last night, really cool place. Â Great food and a really good live band. | 0 |
57 | Loved the food here and the atmosphere was just so relaxing. I will definately come back sometime! | 0 |
58 | Best bar food in brooklyn and its cheap as hell too. I go out of my way to eat the burger here at least once a week. Then when im full, i still have to order the bacon wrapped frank. | 0 |
59 | I've always heard great things about this restaurant but never get around to go to this place. Of course, the place is packed with people as usual. Â I have tried Ippudo in New York, Hong Kong and Japan. Â I must say Ippudo New york is the best. Â The egg is boiled perfectly to half soft. Â The noodle is quite al dente, and of course the soup is always very rich. Being a ramen fan, I always order the soyu ramen, that is soy sauce ramen. And the soy sauce is really the most important element to make a good ramen. Â Ippudo just nailed it. | 0 |
60 | Who doesnt love the halal guys? I mean everyone knows its the best food truck in the city. Negative is the loooong line and the eating oustide without table and chairs part | 0 |
61 | I loved their soup dumplings. so good. | 0 |
62 | The food was delicious. The service was excellent. But I hated the hardwood floors. Change it to carpet immediately or I'm never coming back. | 0 |
63 | My favorite place for hotpot in brooklyn and all of nyc. This place is awesome. Â Hotpot places are either hit or miss - and this place nailed it. Â Their hotpot is so so good. We ordered a lot of different items from their extensive menu and everything was super fresh. The broth is perfect and service is very friendly. Â Will be coming back. | 0 |
64 | After visiting the Republic of Georgia three years ago I fell in love with the hospitality of the people and soulful savory cuisine of this nation nestled in between the Caucus Mountains. Â There are few Georgian restaurants in the USA so whenever we are in NYC we make sure one of our evening meals is Georgian. Â This week we were able to introduce Georgian cuisine to a friend. Thank Old Tbilisi Garden for opening in Manhattan. Â We arrived too late on Saturdsy night -the kitchen had closed, but we stayed and enjoyed a few glasses of wine because Georgian wine is some of the finest in the world. Â But we returned Sunday with a friend who never had Georgian food. Now she is a convert. We started with the tomato cucumber walnut salad, followed by the baked cheese filled pastry-Khachapuri was excellent, as were the dumplings, the trout (the whole fish with tail and head). The lamb kabob was prepared to perfection. Â We will be back. | 0 |
65 | Group of 70 people with reservations to Carmine's to dine in their legendary restaurant did not meet my expectations. Â The food was average (except the garlic bread and desert -very good) Â and our server was the least friendly server ever!!!!! Â I'm glad I went for the experience but I would not return. | 0 |
66 | Salt & Fat is amazing fare. Everything from the Crack and Cheese (and the bacon cooked popcorn) to the Avocado Ice Cream is amazing. Â A little bit of everything is on this menu. Â You cannot call it Asian, American, Latin, or European food. Â It is a blend of all of the above. Â You would think that is a lot of different flavors and styles to have on a menu, but Chef Yi and his crew pull it off with style and skill. Â Everything about this restaurant is great from the atmosphere when you walk through the door to the servers who explain every wonderful morsel that is in front of you. Â Bring your appetite and try everything on the menu. I will be coming to this restaurant many many times. | 0 |
67 | The restaurant IS blazing hot, especially near the front. Â But if you navigate your way to the rear, it is noticeably cooler and the space is beautiful too. Â I went last week with one friend and two bottles of wine. Â He ordered a pizza that he said was very good. Â I ordered the swordfish, but was told they were out. Â However, they substituted grilled tuna (which wasn't even on the menu) and it was lovely. Â Not only was the food delicious, but it took just 10 (maybe 15) minutes for it to arrive at our table. Â The waitstaff was attentive, competent, and downright pleasant. Â What a refreshing addition to the neighborhood! Â I'm looking forward to an expanded menu in the future. | 0 |
68 | Great Place !! Im such a big fan of Gaia Italian Cafe. Definitely will be coming back for more. | 0 |
69 | Welcome back Mundo!  I was delighted to hear they are open again & I was looking forward to see what they've created. Menu was very similar to their old one with some favorite dishes available (red sonja, carrot dip, veggie wrap, etc) but I was actually hoping for a food more options. The other reason for only 4 stars is the portion sizes vary between tapas style & entrée and it's not very clear on the menu.  I loved everything we ordered but we needed to order side dishes to supplement.  Decor, Location,  Service...5 STARS! I will be back & I'm bringing friends to ensure they stay around for a long time! I truly wish Willy & the gang continued success as they aspire to give the neighborhood what it is lacking. Keep your eyes out for new dance nights for their large downstairs space! | 0 |
70 | While they iron put a few kinks having only opened on Friday, the food is amazing! Â The decor is a bit odd, especially the outdoor space - slightly confused, but that does not detract from the food. The menu is limited but varied enough for both vegetarians and carnivores. If for nothing else but the menu, highly recommended. It is not cheap, but not terribly expensive either. Perfect for small groups too. | 0 |
71 | Been to 5 Leaves for breakfast/brunch on several occasions. Good espresso coffee and the bruleed grapefruit is somewhat of an institution. Chicken confit sandwich with fries (pictured) was exceptional. Also seen this place pumping at night, great intimate venue. | 0 |
72 | Was at the restaurant Saturday afternoon. Â Ordered a Hainan Chicken, waited for 40 minutes but the chicken never arrived. Â I asked 4 waitresses where our chicken was but no one came back to tell us what's going on. Â Finally, the chicken arrived and our rice was already cold. Â When we paid the bill, we only gave 10% tip and the waitress ran after us to the front door and asked if everything was okay. Â WTF. Â No, of course not. Â The service sucks. Â Although the food is not bad. | 0 |

74 | This is a charming little neighborhood spot tucked into the side streets of Cobble Hill. We happened upon it while wandering around Saturday night and decided to stop in for a glass of wine and a snack. The service was friendly and knowledgable. I was a bit intimidated by the Italian wine list but the bartender knew the wines well and recommended a great bonarda? We tried a few of the bruscetta and split the pizza special. The pizza was a  little  small and but delicious.  I look forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu and trying some of the cocktails. They had surprisingly interesting looking cocktail list. | 0 |
75 | What an amazing experience! Great food, amazing atmosphere, outstanding service!!! We even saw David Schwimmer there! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because the Entree's were a little on the small size for the price. I would definitely recommend it and will be back! It's a must try! | 0 |
76 | Unclean, very large, ok service, fast food but not too good, fried rice all it has are green peas, nothing else | 0 |
77 | I'm a big fan of this restaurant. Â Every time I make it to the city, I have to eat here for their spaghetti limone ($13). Â I've even replicated it at home with great success. Â The menu is impressive and I plan on coming back and trying a lot more stuff. We started off with a mixed salad; bruschetta with tomatoes, polenta with shaved leeks and the complimentary rustic breads with garlicky bean salad -- so good. The salad was enough for three people, very simple and clean. WHERE DOES THIS PLACE GET THEIR TOMOATOES? Seriously, I wanted to lick the bruschetta plate clean. The polenta wasn't really creamy, but the large slices of cheese was enough for me to really like it. The great service, excellent food and private space made for a really wonderful evening. | 0 |
78 | Great tacos! But the only thing that really bugs me is that sometimes I find pork pieces in my steak tacos (I don't eat pork).. | 0 |
79 | Nice dining experience. We had the tasting menu with paired wines. The menu was heavily slanted towards seafood....which was disappointing. The quantities were very limited...even for a tasting menu. The restaurant is small..20 seats...which was fun. The food was good but very little...."I cannot wait to come back entrees". With all the restaurants in NYC I would recommend others! | 0 |
80 | amazing sangria!!! i get the white one its awsome. tues is half price tapas till 8pm what a deal!!! i love the stiffed plantain with meat amazing and the taquitos!!! Â there tres leces is yummmmmm. its busy place so get there early | 0 |
81 | long lines, but worth it | 0 |
82 | Very average food at above average prices. Unfortunately the customer service wasn't much better. | 0 |
83 | Best pickles ever! for dinner had the honey pickle chicken biscuit. flavors of sweet savory sour and spicy were harmonious. biscuit was flaky and buttery. turkey leg fell off the bone. amazing beer selection puts this place over the top. | 0 |
84 | I lived in the south for 3 years and ate in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia and personally I would call this a good Yankee take on southern cooking - the brunch is good and the portions are HUGE if that is important to you. The cornbread is OK for Yankee cornbread - nothing special. however I was served a giant pork chop which was bloody near the bone (and we are talking deep red, not just pink or pinkish)  from the dinner menu and I sent it back. I love very rare beef  but pork has to get to 145 degrees internally to be safe and at that temp it will be pink but not bloody. I don't see why you would serve a pork chop that big anyway - it is , in my opinion, excessive and vulgar and besides it is difficult cook properly - if you are going to serve 'stunt' dishes  you really need to know what you are doing or you just end up looking stupid. They agreed that it was undercooked but by the time they corrected it my friend was finished eating so I asked them to just pack it up. My companion's trout was OK - just standard. They put some onion rings in the takeout bag but  didn't offer us anything on the house while I waited for attempt #2 at cooking pork - or a discount or voucher seeing as they made a mess of our meal. We left the waiter a standard tip because it wasn't his fault the management is clueless but it was really kind of shocking to put up with this kind of crap in such a well known place that charges $26 for a pork chop. The staff seemed nice and I felt badly drawing attention to the poorly prepared meat but our dinner there was not a pleasant experience. | 0 |
85 | Worst experience of 2011. Globally. Effete host looks up at you like you're a social services project interrupting his reading a Regency novel, but lots of people have posted similar comments and in years Freeman's has never done anything about it. In general, all the people who work here seem to imagine themselves displaced gentry and the rest of us an imposition to their entitlement. We were sat amongst many tables in various states of completing their meals. By the time ALL those tables had been sat with new customers- and by the time ALL those customers were entirely done with their entrees- our entrees, simple pancakes, had still not arrived. The manager in title only explained how everything was everyone else's fault and he had no control over anything, accompanied with a 'DUH' facial expression and eye-rolling. Then a 'we're sorry' of questionable intonation. The last straw was several pancakes orders coming in close vicinity but then passing by our table- we asked to cancel the order in frustration. The manager was annoyed at  us and our desperation (its called 'cause-and-effect') and explained it was the chef's fault even though he was in charge. F minus for the man-children who really are too stuck up to be in this line of work. There really ought to be some kind of foundation for should-have-been aristocrats who really cant stand to have to work for the people they feel should instead be working for them. Don't take my word for it- here are more reviews copied from the net: Called ahead to see if I could make a reservation... Was told only for parties over 6 but just show up and there should be no problem getting a table when they open. So, I show up at 6 with a group of friends and they are closed for a private party. I go inside and politley ask the host why they wouldn't have mentioned that the other night on the phone and I was told, "sorry sir, we'll cancel the party so we can seat your party of 4!" and he walked away. I realize that trendy new restaurants in the city can treat their customers like garbage. I've read the negative service reviews of this place before but didn't believe it. I hear the food was good and I'm used to mediocre/slightly rude service at certain restaurants, but I was blown away at this. I wasn't looking for anything free, maybe just a small apology and a suggestion to come some other night. Instead, I'm treated with a smart remark and left to stand there flabbergasted. My friends went there for brunch. Carlos, the host, told us that it was at least an hour wait for 2 & walked away before we can put our names down. He rolled his eyes when we gave him a name. The list means nothing. You'll get a table if he finds you somewhat tolerable & not disgusted by the sight of you. Don't bother going unless you like to be given dirty looks by the staff & treated like you don't exist. I've been eating at Freemans for over a year now. Given it praises to most of my friends, who became regualrs themselves; until tonight. My friend and I walked into the restaurant around 8pm. The Hostess, who I never saw before, immediately tells us that the list is closed for the night and gestures that we can use the table in the corner which had no seats. A couple comes in less that 3 minutes after us, requesting a table for two. I overheard the same hostess tell them that she'll work something out and takes their names down for a table. After pointing out what I observed to the women her only RUDE response was "you could check back in 30 minutes." I'm going to put this in here. My friend and I are African American, the couple that requested the table after us, were white. Unfortunately I've been in this situation before, where my business wasn't accepted because of my race. but I've never experienced it so blatantly in one of my favorite neighborhoods. Freemans has lost of its best customers and her friends because of this. I used to be at Freemans frequently, and enjoyed the good food... However, I was there on Sunday again and it was a very bad experience. I was greeted by a snooty as hell guy at the door; he acted like he was doing me a favor by taking my name. Since we had to wait for a while I had enough time to take a look at the crowd, most of them where very pretentious and boosted an ego like they where all on coke. The hostess was talking to another patron so I waited until their conversation was done. When they were done, the hostess did not acknowledge me at all even though I was making eye contact with her. She pretended like I was not there. When I finally told her I'd like a table for 4. Her facial expression was like steel, it didn't move. With her thin lips she coldly said, "it'll be an hour" scribbled SOMETHING down, did NOT ASK for my name and that was it.  Clearly we weren't going to get a table, how the hell would we know when it was our turn? We left. What an unpleasant hostess, I couldn't even imagine what the servers are like | 0 |
86 | Cute little place to pick up an excellent crepe. I love Japanese style crepes and this is the spot to get one! They are open early so its perfect to pick up a breakfast crepe and have it to go with a cup of coffee. I love the traditional style with tons of nutella ... yum. Its my perfect go to place for breakfast to go. | 0 |
87 | Great food, great staff, and great ambiance. Oh by the way the food is unbelievable not great, but unbelievable. | 0 |
88 | best mediterranean food everrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love the food, atmosphere and staff is very friendly. this place is unique, i ve never write a review before for any place that i ve been, but stix totally worth my time and the 5 stars.. ps: owner is very handsome!!!!!!!!! | 0 |
89 | ********* Update, just tried Minca again today, this time spicy miso ramen. Â Very good. Â Little overpowering on the flavor...but still a solid ramen ********* Great toroniku pork ramen. Â Gyoza is soft and pan seared/crunchy. Â I think that the owner/chef try really hard to make a good product here and in my opinion it shows. Â Next week im planning to take a group of 16 people here...haha, so since the place only has 18 seats total we'll see what happens. Â For a place so far east (5th bet a/b) i think overall they do a great job on ramen. Â Looking forward to the new store they are opening on 14th...don't really like taking the f/v. | 0 |
90 | Totally  hyped up. It's decent ramen but not the best thing i ever ate. What the hell is with the long arse wait-- 45 mins for a bowl of Ramen....ppsst...i think not. I had to try it once so i could satisfy my curiousity..it's meh.... | 0 |
91 | Never thought that $5 a slice would be so worth it! I was so skeptical at first, thinking, Â "what can make a slice of pizza so special?" The ingredients are super fresh and its not like any other pizza you have tasted before. | 0 |
92 | I came here recently for my brother's birthday and loved it! The service is excellent and the food incredible. The bone marrow appetizer was superb and the burger is definitely one of the best in the city. | 0 |
93 | Very bad customer services. If you don't speak the dialect as the owner does, never bother to order food at Prosperity, you will not get serve and respectfully as the local residents who shares the same background as the owner. I went there three times only, but the services I received are getting worse every time. Not only my wonton soup is missing a wonton, it was a bowl of clear broth with no scallion to light up the taste at all. The third and last time I went (which happened to be today,) I was waiting on this line and when it was finally my turn, these two new walk-in came, and they just cut the line and told the guy what they want in their home dialect. The owner and his assistant started packing and bagging for these late comers. And I was standing there looking at the owner confronting him that him just let people skipped a line. He looked me back but didn't bother to make a response, all he was doing was gave me a glance or two and kept packing his order. I was very disappointed of their services. There are three more places in Chinatown I could get good dumplings beside this crept place, like Dumpling House located on Eldridge St too. Will not recommend this place. | 0 |
94 | I had a great romantic dinner here and the food was wonderful.  The décor is really old school Italian and the food is very genuine.  I highly recommend the restaurant and the shops. | 0 |
95 | Fix the crappy wobbly tables. Bland tomato sauce, soggy dough distinct lack of seasoning. Â All you have was bland cheese. Our cheese cake was the only saving grace of the evening. Also I didn't see any smiles on the staff faces including the managers. There must have been a funeral in the back or something? | 0 |
96 | My friend and I walked in to Scarpetta without a reservation and were lucky enough to get a table because there was a last minute cancellation. We barely had to wait! I ordered the creamy polenta and short rib agnolotti. Both were fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was good and the service was great. | 0 |
97 | Empire State Building ... check. Brooklyn Bridge ... check. Soup Spot ... check. Manhattan first-timers should add this wonderfully convenient deli to their list of must-visit landmarks. Just south of Madison Square Garden, it's a perfect place to grab a picnic lunch and head for the High Line (another must-see landmark). | 0 |
98 | I hosted a reception at Jadis on the night of my wedding day. Â Working with Edit could not have been more pleasant. Â We reserved the entire restaurant for about 60 guests, and the space was perfect - it could also have comfortably fit more people. Â With zero fuss and stress, Edit helped me to plan a menu of wines and hors d'oeuvres. Â The food was great and plentiful, the wine was fantastic, and the staff were as lovely as could be. Â Edit in particular treated me like royalty. Â My guests all had a wonderful time, and I received many comments on what a pleasant, comfortable and attractive space it was. Â I would highly recommend hosting your event here. Mine could not have gone better. Â And of course, I'd also recommend going just for a glass of wine or for a meal. Â I plan to, many many times in future. Â Thanks Edit, and the rest of your incredible staff! | 0 |
99 | There is a reason why some spots continue to thrive, shine and its patrons become supremely jealous of their spot at the bar or their favorite place. Â Barbuto hits all the right notes. Â Chef Waxman is a genius in interpreting regional Italian and never pretending not to have Americanized it a bit. Â Hats off, you have my dollars for your marvelous food. Â The paccheri with ragu were just perfect, as was the oven broiled chicken (I always knew it was better than mine, but for everyone at the table to agree?).. what a sensational evening.. the wines (Leone Rosso, marvelous blend from Tuscany) and the Aglianico, well priced and excellent. Â Will be back. | 0 |
