“We decided to go to Charlie’s to listen to music on a Sunday afternoon. Headed straight out to where the band was playing. Inside was about 15 people watching soccer and baseball games and drinking/eating. A server took an order from a table near us, not acknowledging us. About 10 people outside. After ten minutes I went inside asked for a menu and ordered two drinks. She told me someone would be out to take order for food. Another ten minutes went by. I went back in and ordered. There were at least four staff members inside, It wasn’t that busy. Our drinks were good, food was good and music was nice.
It’s too bad the service was lacking , it didn’t have to be. If they were more attentive, people outside would have ordered more drinks because it was warm.“

“We had our small wedding at Andre's this past weekend, and I am still in awe of how fantastic the event was. Tracey is an all-star. From coordinating calls, decorating our table, marrying us, to keeping us on schedule. Andre had our whole group raving about how great the food was. From the appetizers to the cake, we really couldn't have asked for better. On top of it all, the location is STUNNING! The staff helping to serve us were so friendly and pleasant and together they all helped make sure our wedding day was the best day of our life. I can't recommend Andre's enough, and we will certainly be returning for a meal!“

“Great experience, good music , good vibes ! Eddie the bartender was amazing. Can’t wait til it’s warmer to go back“

“Farmer's Daughter Restaurant is a five-star restaurant all the way around.“

“One of our favorite local spots. Perfect for outdoor dining during nice summer weather. Their menu has a lot to pick from and everything we’ve gotten has been delicious. Highly recommended.“

“I had a lovely lunch with my friend. The food was delicious and the staff were so sweet and friendly. It felt like grand dining room at a gorgeous country side. I was very happy dining here today. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Burger's & Texas Weiner's are good!!“

“Great lunch, great staff, clean and friendly atmosphere“

“We celebrated a milestone birthday in the dining area next to the terrace with delicious food and great service. The bar had a large selection of beer, wine had a dozen options, plus mixed drinks. The staff let me taste a couple beers before I chose one to go with my calamari appetizer which was very large and well prepared. I do think the standout appetizer was the tuna which had an amazing citrus flavor. For my main I had the sea bass while most of the others had streaks. I thought it was delicious and the rice delicious. Maybe a tad too much butter for me, but no complaints. I skipped desert but the chocolate cake and apple tarts looked amazing. Service was top notch, my water glass was consistently filled and the staff present but not too much so. A great late afternoon dining experience.“

“Ordered one their meals for take out. Great service, great price and great food! Will do again when they have something that looks good to us!“

“To be fair, my rating is over 4. It's more like a 4.6 since 1 of us 6 mentioned a slight negative about the flavor of her chicken. And our per person cost was about $50. I expected that, but that's okay. The sights outside were very nice. The grandchildren enjoyed themselves which is a plus. If you have a boat, you can actually dock it at the Windlass and order a meal. They also have several cabana looking coverings along the dock which can be reserved so you can enjoy your meal there. My wife noticed that the seating can glide forward and back.“

“Always good service and great food.“

“10 out of 10! We used them for a graduation party and everything went like clockwork. The delivery and set-up was so easy. The food was amazing, from the main courses like brisket, chicken and ribs, to the sides like street corn, beans, corn bread and more. We'll definitely be using them again for parties and the holidays!“

“I have had two bridal showers at Portofino in Oak Ridge, and not only did everyone love the food, but Nancy and the entire staff is outstanding. They go above and beyond to help you in any capacity that they can. I highly recommend Portofino either for lunch, dinner or any kind of event you have whether it is big or small. You can't go wrong with Portofino, I can't say enough great things about the staff and restaurant!“

“We went for the first time for dinner and highly recommend you check them out! The food was SO good and well served, the service is top notch, and everyone is so nice. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I’m so glad we finally have a healthy spot nearby! I tried the chicken avocado spinach wrap, and it was absolutely delicious. It was super filling but still felt light afterward, not heavy or greasy at all, which I absolutely loved.

The owner and staff were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and friendly. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their food. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Fitness Grill to anyone looking for fresh, healthy, and tasty food!“

“Wonderful meal and service ! Highly recommend!!“

“Just used cafe Pierrot to cater a sprinkle I was hosting. Everything was amazing! Placing the order was extremely easy- I sent an email and someone called me right away and quickly responded to any email questions I had. Everyone enjoyed the food and LOVED the cupcakes. Was able to pay in advance online so all I had to do was send someone for pick up the day of the party and everything was ready right away I think food is one of the hardest parts of planning a party. Never know what to get or how much. Being able to simply give them a number of guests and all I had to do was decide which type of salad I wanted, made this part of the party so simple and stress free! Love the one stop shopping aspect where I could get my food, sides, and even cupcakes all from one place. The spread they provide is the perfect mix and they provide the perfect amount, for an awesome price! Definitely recommend using them!!!“

“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary there last night. I requested to dine in one of their rooms. We were escorted to a small room where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Our waitress, Ava, was awesome. We were given a small complementary bottle of Processo which was so nice! We have been there many times before and never had a bad meal. The vintage decor there is fabolous! Highly recommended.“

“Haven't been there in years. Went back to try something new. Happily surprised. Went on Friday. Brought the whole family back on Sunday. The service is excellent and very personable. Met the owner. Very nice couple. You don't feel rushed. The food is very good. Large portions so be hungry when you go. Great value. I also enjoyed the music. I just missed the piano player because I had to leave but I'll be back.“

“I love my job!! Our food is fresh, healthy, and AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS 😋 stop by for a wrap, salad, baja and or greek bowl, or create your own entree!!“

“The food and service is amazing!“

“We enjoyed The Bistro and walk on the grounds“

“The food was good but the waiter was rude and tried to add another beverage that I did not order.“

“We had a 50 person party yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with the buffet they put out for us and I have to give a HUGE shout out to Matt (I’m pretty sure that was his name. Big smile and his hair in a bun). He was the wait staff taking care of all of us and he killed it! Super pleasant and he worked his butt off to serve us all. If you get Matt, take good care of him!!!!“

“Great food and service. We were a large group and the food came out all around the same time and was delicious.“

“Favorite local bar! The boneless wings are the best!“

“Haven’t been to any Fuddruckers in years since they closed in Wayne,NJ. Was amazed to see a location still open. They have a large game room for the kids. One upsetting thing they didn’t have fresh bakery like other locations. Food was hot and fresh. Plus unlimited fries . Was well worth it.“

“Super friendly! Great food!“

“Came for dinner with another couple. The tapas eggplant was delicious, light and flavorful. Just lovely. We had two burgers and two steaks. All delicious and perfectly cooked. Service was excellent and the restaurant is beautiful, however, there is a huge bar in the middle of the restaurant. Which normally would not be an issue but this evening four young women were “working” the older men sitting at the bar. It became clear as the evening progressed that this was going on. None of us could believe what was happening right next to our table!! As the targeted men left the bar the young women quickly moved on to their next victims. It was all very obvious and pretty repulsive. Such a shame to have this type of thing happening in a lovely restaurant. I would hope management will be alerted by the bartenders that their establishment has become prey for this type of behavior. Quite unsettling.“

“I invited my friends for lunch the other day and we had a fantastic time! Talk about atmosphere, Alice’s Restaurant sits high up on a hill, overlooking Lake Hopatcong. What a view on a gorgeous day! We had our starters and drinks which everyody loved. Dante was our server and he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is exactly what we wanted. An added topping, extra sauce, rare, medium, it’s going to come out perfectly. We are looking forward to coming back!“

“marina did the best“

“Awesome pancakes this morning! We have eaten there for breakfast several times. Food is always fresh & delicious!“

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“

“We stopped in for a quick dinner after shopping. The service was quick and everyone was very nice.
There was an error with one of our items but they fixed it quickly.
The food was hot and tasty.
Overall a pretty positive experience.“

“They catered our party this weekend and did a fantastic job! Lou is great to work with, the food was delicious and the server was on point! Definitely recommend!“

“The older gentleman who works at the counter is one of the kindest people you’ll meet. He’s always welcoming, friendly, and makes everyone feel right at home. You can tell how much pride he takes in the business and how much he cares about the customers. It’s rare to find that kind of service these days. Great food, great people, and always a great experience whenever I visit from nc!“

“We love this place:) Great food & friendly staff.“

“We absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and they actually remember what you order — which says a lot. My kids get excited to go, not just for the good food, but because they feel comfortable and welcomed every time. Rosie’s is always a great choice for breakfast or lunch if you want good food, great service, and that cozy hometown vibe.“

“Great place. Food is delicious and staff is friendly and attentive.“

“Four of us enjoyed this hidden gem in Randolph this evening. All four appetizers and entrees were superb. In both taste and presentation. Great value for the price and the services was superior. I recommend this restaurant highly for all.“
