“What an amazing place! The owners and staff are lovely and super helpful. The food and smoothies are always on point and they’ve recently expanded their menu 🤤 They offer specially curated items for sale. They are all so unique, it’s hard to resist picking some thing up every time I go in there! Highly recommend 10/10”

“Last night, for my birthday, we had what I have to call a perfect, and perfectly delicious meal. You can’t take a picture of an experience, but if there were a way, we would have tried. My fettuccine Bolognese was a detailed joy, yielding a world of varied delights in every bite. Even the radicchio and endive salad… one of those textured, flavorful events where you close your eyes and savor every each mouthful. I could go on and on… but I’m still busy savoring. Gorgeous setting, roomy comfort, delightful servers and employees… and the bank does not break. You’d pay 100 or 150% more in the city to even come close.”

“The boterkoek is to die for! I bought a loaf of Dutch rye bread and 3 boxes of De Ruijter sprinkles for the bread! I ordered $80 worth of baked goods and chocolates & bread and spices and my family and I will DEFINITELY be coming back! We travelled 5 & 1/2 hours to come here and we will be coming back before the Summer to stock back up 🩷 This is officially my favourite Dutch bakery since the one in my home country closed down years ago when I was a little girl 🥺🩷”

From the fantastic food (Love the Brock Burger!) to the atmosphere and community engagement (Monday Jeep Meets, Wednesday Motorcycle Meets, and Saturday Classic Cars), there's something for everyone. Oh, and don't get me started on the banana puddin'...YUM!”

“Sunrise Family Restaurant is hands down one of my favorite places to eat! I’ve been going there for a while now and it never disappoints. I like to call it a hidden treasure in the neighborhood. The minute you walk in, you feel like part of the family — the staff is so warm, welcoming, and truly wonderful. The menu is HUGE, the food is always delicious, and the prices are more than fair. If you’re looking for a new go-to spot, this is it! Do yourself a favor and stop in — you’ll feel right at home and leave with a full belly and a big smile!”

“Been coming here for a few months now, the meatballs are off the chart, the food is always delicious, I bring anyone I know that loves Italian food here.
Service is always on point & everyone is friendly!”

“I have been coming to Cow Patty’s for years and as time has gone by, they have only gotten better.

Their cheesesteak sandwiches are amazing and their latest creation, the cool ranch chicken sandwich is to die for.

If you get fries, get the Patty’s rub on them.

You can’t go wrong picking something from their menu.

We will keep coming back, love this place.”

“Always great and friendly service. Love the wings. We've been here a few times late night; every time we've went there has been entertainment, live music and dancing. It's great that there is a spot like this in our area to get out of the house, especially on weekends, for something fun to do.”

“Restaurant Latour is the kind of place that feels more like a special experience than just a dinner. Located inside Crystal Springs Resort, the setting alone makes the visit memorable. The views, the quiet atmosphere, and the elegant design create a relaxing environment that feels perfect for a celebration, anniversary, or a night when you simply want to enjoy something different.

What stands out most about Restaurant Latour is the attention to detail. The menu focuses on seasonal ingredients and creative modern American cuisine, where every dish is carefully prepared and presented. The tasting menu gives guests the chance to experience different flavors and techniques instead of having a typical restaurant meal. The presentation is beautiful, but the focus remains on taste and quality.

The wine program is another major highlight. With one of the most impressive wine collections in the region, the restaurant is a great choice for anyone who appreciates fine wine or wants to learn more through the recommendations of knowledgeable staff.

The service matches the level expected from a fine dining restaurant. The staff is professional, polite, and helpful when explaining the dishes or suggesting wine pairings. The atmosphere is calm and refined, making it a place where you can take your time and enjoy the full experience.

This is definitely a premium dining destination, so the price is higher than a regular restaurant, but the combination of food, atmosphere, service, and location makes it a memorable choice for a special occasion.

For first-time visitors, I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time, arriving a little early to enjoy the surroundings, and taking your time with the tasting experience. Restaurant Latour is not about a quick meal — it is about enjoying the complete dining journey.

“You definitely need to go here, burgers are to die for, as is everything on the menu.... You won't be disappointed.........🍺🍺”

“My son says”Best burgers ever!””

“One of our favorite places in town! Everything is amazing and everyone is incredible!”

“We had a beautiful bridal shower for my daughter here! Lourice was wonderful and a pleasure to work with! Have your next event here! You will not be disappointed!”

“Amazing pies! This is a staple in Warwick, NY! So glad they are back in downtown!!”

“We went to the Daily Bean when we went to Lego Land. Staff were incredibly friendly, the chocolate chai was AMAZING! Coffee was excellent and my son said he had one of the best chocolate croissants he has ever had. Awesome place, will go again if we are in the area.”

“We just discovered Big Mouth’s Deli & Catering, and honestly… how has this place been hiding in plain sight? This is not your average deli. The owners are right there, hands-on, making so much of the food themselves—from the sauces to the meats—and you can taste the difference. Everything feels fresh, intentional, and made with real pride. They also carry local honey and hot sauces, which just adds to that small-town, quality-first vibe that’s getting harder to find. It’s one of those spots you stumble upon and immediately want to tell people about—but also kind of want to keep to yourself. Great food, genuine people, and that rare feeling that you found something special. We’ll definitely be back… and next time we’re ordering more.”

“This place is incredible. Friendly staff remember the names of return visitors, the whole place is very community-oriented with lots of local sports teams and other happenings being posted along the walls. Food is always fresh and quality, with large selections even extending to sides, such as the freshly made macaroni/potato salads among others. It's my go-to place for breakfast, and their lunch menu is also expansive (and of equal quality!). My biggest regret with this place is that it took me a few years into living here to try them out.”
