“Food and drinks were amazing. Only complaint is waited too long, over 30 min, for our food. Watched as people who sat after us finished their food and left.“

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Cosy atmosphere, great food and friendly people.“

“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.“

“We were recommended this place by my wife's cousin she said the stew peas were A class. She was right, according to my wife, it's the best she's had in a long while from a restaurant. I had the sweet and spicy wings that were seasoned and cooked very well. Food was not salty and was very fresh.
Ps we also had Patties, veg, and beef, and they were great, but I think they are golden crust patties, so that's to be expected.“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night. Delicious and inventive food and cocktails. The cocktails are soju based. We came for the a la carte menu and the standout dishes for us were the longgonisa, the momo, the trout, and number one was the pork belly. The rice it comes with is insanely good; I think you can order just the rice as a side. Get the rice and thank me later. Will definitely be returning for the tasting menu“

“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.“

“Plnt Burger is absolutely amazing my new favorite place to eat. There chicken sandwich and nuggets reminded me so much like chick fila. Everything tasted very clean and so fresh. Quality of the food is 10/10 and they have a good variety of sauces all are delicious. I highly recommend.“

“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“

“Perfect event for farewell evening! Thank you!“

“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.“

“This place is awesome! Came for dinner and it's my new favorite spot in the neighborhood, will be back often. Super delicious food, solid portions, warm & inviting atmosphere, the owner is really kind & knowledgeable. Great spot to come on your own or with a group :)“

“This is a great “hole in the wall” bar. These folks provide great service and the food is exceptional!

Wheelchair accessibility: The access to the restroom is down a flight of stairs, but I observed a sign at the top of the stairwell highlighting the effort to be made by the staff to see all peoples of all abilities can be assisted to the restroom.“

“Unfortunately I was a little too late to try their food, but one look around the room, it seemed like everyone who had food was enjoying it. I hear the wings are on the spicier side so this is a fair warning. Also, one question on my mind was, ‘do they have natural wine?’ I did find out that they in fact do carry natural wine and it is delicious! Overall happy with my trip to Doublé !“

“The owners are two of the kindest and friendliest people you'll ever meet. Equally as important, the food here is high quality. It's always fresh and full of flavor. The Thai iced tea and Thai coffee that they make in-house are delicious. Great atmosphere, great service. Everything is made with love.“

“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!“

“I am vegetarian and love to get the scallion and ginger stir fry with seitan. You can order it light/med/high spice level to your preference. The noodles are so tasty and you can really tell they are fresh. The mango tea is an awesome lightly sweetened beverage addition to balance the spice of the noodles.“

“Great ambiance, good food just a little too hot , fabulous drinks and bumping music.“

“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“

“Super nice place to hang out with friends and family, gretel o point with service 24/7 , food and drinks 100% the best“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service.. love this place when we are in New York.. Defo one of the best spots for great food and drinks❤️“

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

“great food and ambience and quick friendly service“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place checks all the boxes. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Just had the Italiano and the cheesesteak and holy WOW! two of the best sandwiches I ever had. Amazing food, very clean place, exceptionally friendly service, we will be back for more and more! Our new favorite sandwich shop!“

“Burrata and fried artichokes were delicious! The calamari was forgettable. El griego pasta was intense, great flavor and rich. The 4 top table at the front door had cold air constantly blowing in, so try not to sit there. Service is good. It's a great place overall 👌🏾“

“Everything was perfect & more. Hubby loved it so much, he plans to come over every time he’s in town.“

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

“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!“

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

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

“It's has vegan options! Two kitchens!! Food is eggcellent also for vegetarians, service very nice and great to have a none rushed brunch. It is on the pricey side but you can taste the quality of the food! The only little speck is that its hard to get them on the phone.

The waffles were divine! Coming back for more!“

“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!“

“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.“

“My friends and I went to the restaurant on a Wednesday rainy day I had the cinnamon raisin french toast with chicken and the fried shrimp it was very good the french toast is amazing. We also had the bottom less mimosas when I tell you they never let the glass hit the bottom. The service was excellent very positive and comfortable environment we sat for a while. we ate talked and danced and the staff continued to accommodate us beyond our reservation time limit. I will definitely visit Chocolat' again when in New York“

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“By far one of my new favorite bars in the area. The drinks were perfect and you can tell they were made with expertise. Definitely get the miso wings while you’re here as well since those hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back soon to try out a few other drink options.“

“Chicken was delicious and facility clean“

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

“really good food… average prices 9/10“
