“We live in Harrison and have spent months trying to find a quality bagel place that also serves a French toast bagel. I’ve been eating Taylor ham egg&cheese on a French toast bagel for 20 years from various places in North Jersey. This morning we ordered from B&B the first time via UberEats and I had what I’m fairly certain is the best French toast bagel I’ve ever had. I’mglad I accidentally ordered 2. This is going to become our go-to for THEC bagels. Thank you!!“

“I’ve been there quite a few times but most memorable were the Freestyle performers and DJ Juan. Good food but the entertainment/DJ are great! I have a wonderful time every time.“

“chill vibe. great burgers. super cocktails. good service“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“The produce served here was bursting with flavor. In fact, the vegetables were some of the best I’ve had at any restaurant. The meal wasn’t particularly protein-forward, however the chicken and fish received the same level of attention and execution and were equally delicious. Already anticipating my next visit!“

““Had a great experience at Lindens Restaurant. The food was fresh and full of flavor, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. Service was quick, and everything was presented beautifully. Definitely a nice place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended!“

“Incredible meal. However the service was what really made the dinner so memorable — we loved Andrew’s hospitality. He said he had only been working there for a few months, which we were surprised by because he talked with such passion like he had been there for years. It was really refreshing, as we know how jading fine dining service can be for waitstaff. He was just so enthusiastic and made us feel at home. My partner and I both agreed this dinner reminded us what makes NYC dining so special. Thanks for a great birthday dinner!“

“Food and service was excellent. Service was out of this world. Can't wait to go again“

“Really enjoyed this meal. The burrata was super fresh and the grilled peppers were cooked perfectly, bringing a nice smoky flavor. The veggies honestly stole the show, especially the broccolini, which was really well done. Everything we ordered was solid across the board. Big shoutout to our server too—super kind . I’ll definitely be back to try the steak and burger next time.“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“The warm, casually elegant atmosphere features beautiful lighting and a relaxed yet refined vibe, creating a special ambiance without feeling stuffy. The food is thoughtfully prepared using excellent seasonal ingredients, with the roast chicken and squid rings standing out as highlight dishes. The wine list is impressive, offering many great options by the glass. Service is knowledgeable and attentive. The total cost is around $20-30 per person, including wine. This place is truly a neighborhood gem in Tribeca!“

“Really Nice Restaurant i Recommend The Odeon Restaurant 😊☺️“

“Every time we take a trip into the city, we make sure to visit the Cookshop. Love the staff. So friendly and they make the best margaritas! Jiro (sorry if I’m misspelling) is a great bartender.“

“What a wonderful restaurant great mix of foods and service was so friendly. Highly recommend butternut fries to start!“

“Impeccable service. The hanger steak….❤️“

“Absolutely loved this place! It's classic NYC vibes and fits so well. The food was outstanding and for as hard as reservation were to get it was not overly expensive on the food side! Drinks were up there but nothing surprising for the city.
Absolutely get the burger and make sure you get the peprcorn sauce with it!“

“Absolutely the best food in NYC we finally got a bar seat this past Saturday was in the city for pride we have been trying for years everything was spot on crysathenn salad, the stuffed flatbread and lasagna and cocoa tiramisu“

“Absolutely adore Swoony’s. The place is charming and welcoming and the service is fantastic. Hands down one of the best cheeseburgers in NYC and a must try for any burger lovers. It really is uncanny (and delicious) how much the burger tastes like a grown up version of McDonalds. I will go back for it. The whipped goat cheese and wedge salad are fantastic. Don’t sleep on the dirty martini and ask for their blue cheese olives in it.“

“Uma experiência fantástica, com ótima música! Fui do Brasil a Nova York para conhecer! Show!!“

“Took my husband here for his bday and my god, the food was incredible!!! everything was delicious. mint and fennel salad, squid ink pappardelle, and horchata ice cream were the highlights. the staff are so friendly and warm. Definitely coming back :)“

“Really great oysters and cocktails! We had a great time...“

“Holy cow! We just had the Restaurant Week Bento Box lunch from 232 Bleecker and it was just out of this world. Hands down the best meal we've had since the pandemic started. The way Chef Cupps teases the flavor out of vegetables and meats is just astounding. We are in heaven! We also ordered from 232 Bleecker on Christmas Eve, and the food was once again incredible. We are huge fans of Chef Cupps. She previously cooked at UnTitled at the Whitney which was our favorite restaurant in NYC. We are so glad that she and Nick and the rest of her beautiful staff are doing so well.“

“Amazing and interesting menu. Each dish was exciting and fun. We realized after our meal that we accidentally ordered and ate all vegetarian. Get the cheezits and the squash rings! The schnitzel was delicious as was the carrot hummus. Whatever that chocolate caramel dessert with marshmallow on top is… GET IT! Maybe get two.“

“More hospitable and relaxed than I expected for its reputation. I could tell that whoever is on charge thinks of every detail and truly cares about perfection and balance in every way, and keeps to something personal for us . This trickles down beautifully.“

“One of my favourite restaurants ever! The ribs were the best I’ve ever had. what stands out the most is the level of service here. The owner Michael came to say hi during dinner and made a genuine effort to talk to us! Lovely dinner spot for a classy date night.“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my daughter and entire family today after my daughter’s graduation MSU Go Redhawks! Highly recommended for the amazing food and beautiful atmosphere!“

“This is a very cute little restaurant. It has the cramped, lovable New York feel and friendly staff. The food left something to be desired, it was a wonderful dinner and I’m glad I tried it out, but not something I’ll be called to twice.“

“Great service, tasty brunch, delicious drink menu. Roomy atmosphere and lots of indoor and outdoor seating where you're not on top of eachother. Evy was awesome as our server and took great care of us.“

“Absolutely great food and its presentation amazing. The views, ambience and live piano music wonderful! The service was impeccable. I am a true New Yorker and difficult to please - I am not a tourist - and this is definitely a 5 star must experience restaurant. Thank you The River Cafe for making our dinner truly special and memorable!“

“Empire Diner is more than just a diner, it’s an institution of Chelsea. Pricier than your average diner, their cuisine takes on daring takes of original flavors. Massive drink list and a very cool atmosphere to boot. Across from Clement Clarke Moore Park and just under an amazing art mural. This is a place to impress and you will be impressed by this spot.“

“Adriano and the rest of the team are amazing. The food is always fresh, it’s kid friendly as well. It’s a great spot of groups or even a corporate event. The menu ranges from simplistic to complex. The team cares about their job and I honestly love it here’s! please stop by if you’re in the area. I honestly never get good pictures too busy enjoying the vibe.“

“The food and the service was amazing! The short rib was soft as butter, the pork rib was juicy and flavorful and the fish was delicious! I highly recommend this place. 🙌🏾🔥“

“I went to Harry's for my birthday dinner while visiting NYC in May 2025. Everything was absolutely perfect. Best beef wellington I've ever had. The service was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and the creme brulee topped everything off. I plan to dine there everytime I visit NY. I would recommend to any and everyone.“

“Delicious food! Will be back next time we are in New York!“

“So excited I finally got to taste the chefs version of Kare Kare! All the flavors of traditional Kare with the flair of pasta!!! No wonder it’s there popular dish! The Mango Sticky (pan dan) rice had the tastes of being Filipino. Highly recommend!!! Took my Pa for Father’s Day and we had a great meal!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“Today was my first time visiting West Bank Café, and I had the best experience ever! The staff and service were fantastic, and the owner greeted us as soon as we arrived. It’s in a great location, right in the heart of Manhattan. There’s even a parking garage next to the restaurant, which is perfect if you’re a commuter. I would definitely eat here again. Best wishes to Tom and Michael ...bravo! 👏“

“The chili sauce is sweeter than I prefer; I'm more of a spicy person.
I did visit during a relatively quiet time, but my food took a long time to arrive. Since I don't drink alcohol, the wait was a little tedious and made me hungry.
Everything else was excellent 👍“

“We had such a beautiful experience at RH Guesthouse Restaurant for my friend’s 40th birthday celebration. From the moment we arrived, the ambience was perfect. The music was just right, creating a great atmosphere without being too loud or too quiet.

Our waiter was absolutely amazing. I unfortunately cannot remember his name, but he struck the perfect balance of being attentive without ever feeling overwhelming. He was present, professional, and truly added to the experience.

The food was excellent, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. And the warm house cookies at the end? Absolutely divine and delicious. Such a perfect touch to end the night.

My friends and I had an amazing time and we will definitely be back, especially for the rooftop experience next time. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a memorable night out.“

“my first time here for brunch with my friend & I love the atmosphere. I believe it was a sunday so chill vibes from the guests. The servers took a while coming up to me though but other than that, food was great. Also, I would probably skip the mini lobster rolls with cavier. It was bit too buttery/oily for me“
