“✨ Absolutely incredible! ✨
Everyone works with so much care and attention, and the whole experience was truly wonderful for me. The flavors were perfectly balanced, fresh, and simply outstanding. You can really feel the passion behind everything they do here. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The noodles are amazing, and every dish is customizable. I love the scallion ginger, but I've had other flavors too. I ALWAYS get the seitan, it is so good! I think they make the seitan in house, there's something unique about the texture.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.“

“I ordered the curry goat meal and the cow foot meal on UberEats. Unfortunately, they were out of cow foot but the food exceeded my expectations. I've ordered curry goat from Golden Krust and other restaurants and have been consistently disappointed. THIS is the one I've been looking for 👌🏾 The meat was tender, delicious and had the perfect amount of spice to it (not too much but not too little either) The rice and peas & veggies were perfection as well. Will definitely order from here again.“

“EXCEPTIONAL Food & Service. Billy and Tom are awesome, friendly and professional. The food is so yummy and I would recommend them to any events that you're having from weddings, going-away parties, birthdays, memorials, etc. Keep up the fantastic work that you're doing.“

“Amazing food service and staff! Will make this one of my favorite places to frequent!“

“An absolute gem in the UES! Delicious food, generous serving sizes, and a nice happy hour cocktail. I've now been a few times and I think there's something for everyone. Both the steak frites and the shrimp and cheesy grits were heavenly and I always get the mac and cheese to start. Great for a nice date or a solo weeknight dinner.“

“Cosy atmosphere, great food and friendly people.“

“I have enjoyed eating at Aurora many times since 2010 with my wife, friends and family.The food and service is always consistently good. But when I went this week, I found myself disappointed that they did not serve bread. The waiter told be they do not do it anymore with no explanation. It may be a small thing, but it was significant for me.“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“Got the brand sampler. A meal for $19.60.
Here’s what I thought of each item
Har gow / shrimp siu mai - 3/5, hard to get wrong, just didn’t love it, even with the soy sauce.
Chicken siu mai - 5/5, was my favorite
Sticky rice wrap - 1/5, mushroom and sticky rice was not my favorite
BBQ pork bun - 1/5, wasn’t my thing
Crispy shrimp roll - 4/5, pretty good“

“Had a fantastic first experience!!! Host and server fantastic with professional well groomed and friendly. 99 stars plus My new go to spot“

“Great cocktail and food. Dog friendly!“

“My husband and I are checking off the top 10 East Harlem eateries. The Earls beer and cheese is ranked #5. Their drink and food met lol our high expectations. We had blackberry hard cider and BBQ brisket taco
The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“The food was plentiful and so good. The staff was very friendly and helpful in selecting our meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would recommend this restaurant!“

“My go-to takeout place for noodles after work. They are relatively quick and have consistent quality food - though the medium spice varies tremendously. Delicious noodles, wings, tea, and other street food they offer, can’t go wrong.

Very friendly and understanding staff, highly recommended eating in as well, though I personally only get takeout weekly.“

“Absolutely delicious dumplings. Great variety. Excellent prices. (They even have frozen dumplings to take home and cook.) Super casual- a few shared tables and people rotate through quickly.“

“One of my favorite spots in BK. The food is excellent!! The owner and staff are super welcoming and refreshingly friendly. Coffee is also excellent and it's one of the few places in the neighborhood that serves coffee/tea/matcha well into the afternoon.“

“I celebrated my cousin's birthday last October at Lagos restaurant and Lounge was great“

“Small place delivers a big tasting experience. Delicious drunken noodles in a perfect sauce with plenty of vegetables. I had shrimp and also ordered fried gyoza and a their house-recipe Thai tea that had an appropriate amount of sweetness and flavor balance. Very nice staff and quickly cooked to my table.“

“first time here very impressed the food was too perfection will be back with more people“

“The food and the service was amazing! The short rib was soft as butter, the pork rib was juicy and flavorful and the fish was delicious! I highly recommend this place. 🙌🏾🔥“

“Last month we held a surprise birthday party for my daughter there and it was great! The staff was great, the drinks were amazing, and the manager was incredible. She was very accommodating and welcoming. Give her a raise!! I’ll definitely be back! Their double margaritas are LIFE!“

“Absolutely Incredible food and family Owned service“

“The spicy chicken biscuit omg toooooo die for so my husband and I saw many people entering this spot plus it was our first time. We heard mac and cheese, greens, and fried chicken. So we got a bucket of mixed chicken, two sides of Mac and cheese, and some collard greens (they make them with black eyed peas and tomatoes; totally different from any kind of greens I ever had and I definitely was left craving more. Nice little spot and such friendly people. Heading back very soon“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

“Foods and drinks are delish😋 Great ambiance and service!“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“great food and ambience and quick friendly service“

“This place feels like coming home to your favorite cozy spot that always hits just right. I've been here for date nights and catching up w friends- a perfect place for both. It's such an ideal NYC neighborhood hangout- the food is ALWAYS outstanding, and the ambience (think cool jazz tunes, no tvs) is exactly what I need after a long overstimulated day.“

“Great bar, great food. Love the owner! He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. So festive for Christmas.“

“Huge shout out to Rebecca! Incredible service and so friendly! Hope to see her again next time I visit!

Impeccable vibe; great decor, clean, classic 80s music playlist, and kind and attentive staff!

Selection of cocktails put a fun twist on classics without being difficult to understand. Food options have fresh sandwiches with an array of fillings and delicious entrees.

Had the hibiscus marg w/ mezcal. Fragrant and light smokiness, really refreshing. The Steak Frites was cooked really well despite some fatty pieces, crispy fries and great portion size. Salsa verde was slightly liquidy but still tasty.

Definitely recommend lunch here, bar seating is supreme.“

“The food was phenomenal and they have the most amazingly long list of side dishes and vegetables. My dinner was the teriyaki salmon which I paired with garlic mashed potatoes and beets with feta and walnuts. It was so delicious! And the service was great, with a relaxing ambiance.“

“This place is a jewel!
Food is great- I had the Oxtail, Luscious had the Pasta ala Norma - both excellent. All the staff are actually happy and oh so helpful.

And Monday nights they have live jazz!

Highly recommend this delicious Italian restaurant in Brooklyn!“

“Quality Jamaican food in Brooklyn Heights! The food is consistent I think I've tried everything on the menu. The meat just falls off the bone and is seasoned to perfection. The Oxtail, Stew Chicken, Rasta Pasta you name it they all are delightful. A party in your mouth at a reasonable price you just can't beat it. I really wanted to Gate Keep this one but its so good others need to try it.“

“Awesome location, stunning cozy decor and fabulous food! ✨✨✨✨✨“

“Stopped at this restaurant by coincidence today and it was the best that could have happened. One of the guys there recommended the Americano sub, and i have to say hands down it was the best sandwich i had in a long time. They have a few options for this sandwich, I chose grilled chicken. The chicken was thin and cooked to perfection, the bread was not toasted but so soft, it really didn’t need to be. The toppings added the final touch, pickled onions and pickles along with the lettuce and tomatoes and an amazing dressing to finish. The sandwich was big enough that I shared with my sister, but honesty I could eaten the whole thing. 5 stars all around, I will dream of this sandwich tonight 🤌🏼🤌🏼“

“Everything was so perfect and flawless. From the start to the end, from the moment we entered and waited in the lounge bar to the service and the food.. It was a great experience. I want to thank our server Kara who made our night even better!“

“Someone who’s from Texas and been here for work it’s really hard to find some true southern flare and this place answers the calling when it comes to that and glad that I’d gotten to make the trip over here to try it out. Also will most definitely will be back again.“

“Great Mimosas and Great Staff! M is a character!“

“Waterfront Club instantly became a new favorite of mine. The atmosphere is pleasantly immaculate and the drinks and bites are even better. Every time I’ve been, my group and I have been treated so well. The cocktails are thoughtful and creative— all so good— their twist on the old fashioned is perfection!! Highly recommend for happy hour or date night and live jazz every Thursday!“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“Came on a Friday evening. The food and service were good. The DJ was spinning good R&B. The restaurant is small and a little unorganized when it comes to waiting for a table. I get that it's a neighborhood spot, and everyone knows each other, but if it's a restaurant, treat it like one. If it's a lounge, change it to a lounge and not a restaurant.“

“Great food very friendly staff.“
