Our server Paul went above and beyond to celebrate us and boy did we leave feeling very celebrated and stuffed. Grateful for the amazing meal but mostly for the phenomenal service that make restaurants like this stand out as truly one of a kind.“

Thank you to the bartender (I believe Zachary) for recommending a wine to pair with the eggplant parm.“

“Just got back from a thoroughly enjoyable meal at Shaw-naé’s House on Van Duzer. The sangria was plentiful, the food was fresh, hot and tasty, the wait staff attentive, and the ambience was perfecto (my wife sang to ALL the songs!). Too full for dessert, but I was eyeing that peach cobbler! Next time!“

“Honestly can’t wait to come back when I’m in town and try their other items on their menu. I had the buffalo chicken wontons—8/10. Then their Philly cheesesteak—9/10 (bread was sooo perfect. Crispy yet soft?! Wasn’t expecting that. I asked for mayo but it didn’t really need it. Theirs is way better than Mama’s Too (super viral for their Philly cheese)). Fries?!—10/10. Their condiments—blue cheese and ranch that I tried—really good too 8.5/10. But my waitress is what makes me give 5 stars on everything. Please ask for Deena when you come in. She is so sweet, attentive, and anytime I asked for something she came back quickly attending to my needs. When I come back I too will be asking for Deena. Thanks Malt House for a good evening (that didn’t break my bank too much either!)“

Flynn McGarry is innovative and everything we ate was interesting and delicious. Will definitely go back in a few months.“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. 5/5“

“My husband and I are total foodies and love supporting small businesses, and this place was recommended to us by a friend. We were in the mood for something that felt like a dinner date without heading too far from home, and Adour totally hit the mark. Let me tell you, for the affordable prices, the quality of the food blew us away. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for cozy, elevated, and with great vibes all around. We kept it classic with a rosé and a Hugo Spritz (both so refreshing), for starters we got the mussels in tomato sauce, and for dinner we ordered the lamb chops and the Adour burger with truffle fries - absolutely to die for. We ended the night with their apple crumble dessert, and it was the perfect finish. 😍 Bonus: they serve brunch, too! No need to trek to JC or Hoboken for that cute, trendy, affordable brunch spot, it’s right here in the neighborhood. Tell George I sent you! 😏“

“So didn't know what to expect,But the food and owner were great had mozzarella sticks they were out of the park and sauce was great Then we each had a chicken sandwich and no complaints It was juicy not dry so all I can say is 5 stars“

“You have to try the Korean Fried Broccoli OMG! I’m a stickler for steak so I usually have the Steak and fried egg. If you like it rare like me just ask for it black n blue.“

“Excellent start to the day!!“

“The best burger of my life. Don't pass up the corn bread!“

“Haven’t been to Ruby Tuesdays in FOREVER! Forgot what I was missing out on because their Trio Sampler is amazing. The unlimited Mango Iced Tea was better than I remembered it. Our server Danni was on her game and gave us a great dining experience after a long day! Really happy to have rediscovered this after visiting the mall. Will definitely come back and enjoy soon!“

“Delicious food , lovely vibe.“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget. Not only did you provide exceptional service and amazing food but went above and beyond in every conceivable way to make her birthday the best one she has ever had. Best experience, food and service we have ever had. Thank you so very much.“

“I've been looking forward to trying this restaurants menu items. yesterday was only the 1st, for sure. I had a shrimp po boy, perfect, packed with shrimp, just the right sauces, really good. I took home a container of their vegan lentil soup which is better than my lentil soup. that's not a small thing. beautifully balanced flavor, really delicious. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“Beautiful, delicious meal. Excellent service and views. Perfect for a special celebration or just perfect for celebrating life.“

“My girlfriend Mary and I celebrated her birthday at The Basement, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The food was truly phenomenal and the service was excellent—warm, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. The atmosphere made the night feel special, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations. I recommend making a reservation and giving yourself a little extra time for parking in the area. You really need to go—this restaurant is exceptional.“

“It’s not often a meal leaves me floored from appetizer to pasta to dessert. Food was a 9/10! Ambiance will reserve 20 photos in your phones library, and the staff is very attentive (Ask for Adam). Highest compliments to the chef. Overall this place is well thought out and HIGHLY recommended!“

“Great experience with great friends we are from Puerto Rico and Boston . In loving with the Turkey dinner offer“

“Great ambiance and hostesses were all most charming and professionally attentive to my every need. Thank you, when back in NYC will definitely return, Inshallah Profesora L“

“It's a great spot with a lively atmosphere. There are quite spots available if you have a large group. Reservations are important. They don't offer reservations for outdoor seating. Food wise, mostly the options are seafood based. I saw a lot of folks enjoy the tuna, salmon and lobster dishes. This place is not for vegans or vegetarians - all you get is a summer or ceaser salad with fries and crispy onions. The drinks menu is elaborate, saw a friend the perfect Manhattan. Desert wise we tried everything - key lime pie was extremely sour. Brownie sundae was decent and so was the other cherry-wine-vanilla combo. Nothing memorable about the New York cheesecake“

“My favorite healthy takeout option in lower Manhattan“

“Friendly staff…..but when the place is busy you’re going to wait“

“Wonderful dinner experience! Staff was attentive & friendly. We enjoyed oysters, burgers & mussels while watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any better!“
