“They got $3 beers, they got $4 beers, they got $5 beers, they got $6 beers, and that's besides the self service wall of taps. My $3 Korean Terra lager came ice cold in an emerald green bottle with a neat twisty design at the base of the neck. A standard lager taste with perfectly matched carbonation. I found it more enjoyable than Budweiser. This may be the best value in the entire American Dream Mall. Find this place in the HMart food court in A1, that's A building 1st floor near the Dream Stage“

“My husband and I enjoyed two delicious meals on Nov 8, 2025. The clams casino were out of this world, as were the veal osso buco and the chicken and shrimp. You know your entree will be great when the vegetables are delicious!!
Our waitress, Carol, was a delight and very attentive.
We were visiting from RI and wish they’d move!“

“New outside bar is beautiful and we loved it. Will be back. Three suggestions. I ate lunch, need to move smoking to side of the building, breeze brought smoke through. Rear steps need a yellow warning strip, didn’t notice the steps. Get rid of umbrellas and put up sails (mesh material to block some sun).“

“Four of us went to dinner here and the food was excellent. Rice balls were perfect, two types of chicken parm were very good. Relaxing, chill atmosphere, did not feel rushed at all. Terrific wait staff! Look forward to visiting again soon.“

“Excelente atención ala persona 👍“

“We originally planned to eat at the Hibachi at American Dream on Mothers Day. It was over an hour wait! A couple doors down was the Yard House, a restaurant favorite by my grandkids. Again, this is Mother's Day.

We were told there was a 15 minute wait that was only 10 minutes to sit 6 people. The NY Nicks were also playing game 4 and this is mostly a sports bar. It was a great time!

Service was fast and pampered, food was really great, fantastic family atmosphere and the selection of beers was the best yet!!
I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“Food is amazing! Been here 2 years in a row when visiting the American dream mall and the raviolis as well as the fettuccine Alfredo were phenomenal! Best Alfredo I’ve had by far, and the chicken in it was soooo flavorful!!! So good, I recommend . Reasonable prices“
