Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“My go-to sandwich spot! Delicious! Inexpensive! My son is also completely addicted to the grilled cheese sandwiches they make, we go every Saturday for lunch. I love that everything is clean and sanitary, not every deli knows how to make a good “Bodega sandwich” but this spot NAILS it.“

“I went to Unchingrabandgo, and let me tell you, the lady who attended me, Flory, was so humble and charismatic! She really made my visit special. The food came out on time and was absolutely delicious. It's always a bonus when the service is excellent, right? Flory's kindness definitely added some extra flavor to the whole experience!“

“Y son had cachapa with a friend about 2 weeks ago and has been raving ever. We finally went with him on Saturday and returned on Sunday. We ordered cachapas, Chimi, yaroa and monfonguitos. All were good I would say the portions are big for 1 person small for 2. The juices were good as well.“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

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

“This was my second time coming here. First experience was great. This experience was just okay. Our waitress was very aggressive when it came to ordering our food. Which I thought was strange since brunch was over at 4:30 (according to the website). We sat down a little pass 2pm. One of our friends was late and was rushed to order as well (we were still well within the time frame of brunch). The next problem was the waitress said we had to pay a 20% tip because of the size of our group which was six people. My thing is if that's the case it should automatically be added on the bill (that's what a lot of restaurants do). Still unsure about the 20 % tip because I checked the website and didn't see that information. We were hounded because we wanted to pay a different tip based on the service. The tipping amount is supposed to be based on how well the service was. This service didn't deserve 20%. The 20% was paid but we weren't happy about paying it. I'm disappointed because like I said my first experience for brunch here was great. The previous waitress was super nice and welcoming. We didn't feel rushed at all. Based on this recent experience I don't think me and my friends will be coming back here.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my reservation at Linden’s!

A small group of us were there to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the service was nothing short of amazing, and every dish we ordered was delicious!

I will be back again soon : )“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“The food is phenomenal!! That’s it, that’s all!!“

“nice service,,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍💪💪🤳🤳🤳🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🤝“

“From our first steps to our departure, everything was AMAZING. This saturday evening was out last in NYC before returning to Montreal and The Smith Midtown made it PERFECT. The food was more than we could even expect. The seafood tower is quite an experience, treat yourself! Thank you to everyone at the front desk, including the managers, because they made us laughed a lot and were so nice to us. Big thanks to our server too. A must in NYC!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“This restaurant is built on a philosophy I want to applaud. Vegetable-forward dishes. Farm to table freshness. Clear expressions of flavour in each dish. And it works. This is fine dining that also puts you at ease as a customer. Service is polite, prompt, but never overbearing. The dishes like being reintroduced to old friends. Familiar flavours that are so much more alive than you expect. Delightful.“

“Tasty food, reasonable prices, large selection of different meals, clean, warm atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended!“

“RHRooftop is spectacular. It's beautifully stunning; the views, the space, the design, the food and the service. Fantastic food - tasty and well-presented - although our entrees arrived before we were done with our appetizers. This did not happen to the tables immediately near us; we were all seated within ten minutes of each other. This would be my only real disappointment. The googled dress code is perhaps wishful thinking - and while discouraging of tank tops for men - seemingly not parallel for women. Tshirts definitely won the day on many men. And women were dressed quite smartly in comparison. Then there was the couple who thought they were in their living room .... Watching TV. A sign advising that there are more bathrooms one level down would probably be appreciated by the diners who are unfortunate enough to be seated by the amassed queue. Only two restrooms at the restaurant level will do that.“

“The best Georgian restaurant in NYC“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The waiter was always there but not intrusive, had a wealth of knowledge about the dishes and wines, and recommended the best pairings for my taste, perfect!“

“We are always pleasantly surprised by Parker + Quinn and today was no exception! I am a huge fan of their kale Caesar (add hangar steak!) and today it was perfectly made yet again. Amazing!“

“Great vibe, outstanding food and excellent service. What a top NYC restaurant should be.“

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

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

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“The Best that i ever been“

“Creative take on Mediterranean food Fantastic“

“BEST FILET MIGNON I’ve ever had!!! Woww
I was honestly impressed. Usually I just get disappointed with the food when I go to very fancy restaurants! But this one amazed me 💛
Great atmosphere/ vibe, love all the details and service. Just sad that the tables have to be so close to each other.“

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

“Great food, good service, good vibe!“

“Such fun and unexpected food. We had only 3 dishes: fish head terrine, lentils with eel and whole mackerel. Great preparation and seasoning. Didn’t go for any of the limited dessert offerings. Space is rather dull. Staff and server were delightful. Recommend thus restaurant for adventurous pescatarians“

“Went to Orchard townhouse on a Monday with my bestie she got a glass of cab sauv and I got chamomile fields, which I loved. For appetizer we got the prosciutto & stracciatella, which was fantastic! Lastly, we split the burger and the kale Caesar. They were nothing to write home about but good nonetheless. I loved the vibe in this place it was cozy and intimate. I will say my only complaint is we felt a little rush towards the end and that surprised us since the place was no where near closing nor was it busy.“

“Party of eight and we all enjoyed everything we ate and drank. 👍 for the kitchen staff on doing everything perfect and quick. The staff was amazing and service was great. I highly recommend the burger 🍔. Will definitely go back.“

“After all these years this old flame still has it.
Fun flirty staff crew, on top of their game.
Great French classics.
Foie gras, escargots, soupe L'oignone, Canard, Bone marrow, Steak frites, And of course, the dry aged prime beef Black Label Burger.
Good martini, great wine.
Perfect Soufflé.
Bon appétit !“

“What can I say about this legendary venue…. Came for a gala and absolutely had a blast. From the staff that were fun and courteous to the leadership that took care of my problem effortlessly. Not to mention the amazing food. Not easy to cook for 150 people… “ I don’t come to Queens Village often, but when I do, I go to Anton’s”“

“We've been here many times, for dinner on week days and brunch on weekends. The cocktails are always solid, the food options never disappoint and the staff is excellent, warm and welcoming. This is why we keep coming back again and again. Totally recommended!“

“Consistently good service! Our server Christian was great.“

“Heard good things about this place and my first visit did not disappoint. The vibe was fun and trendy, and the food and drinks were good. I’ve never had a frozen Aperol spritz until I came to this place, and it was delicious. Will absolutely come back!“

“Great bartenders, Jonathan, Roman and Jorge always provide a fun time there! The burger was glistening when it came out but really, the welcoming and friendly crowd made the night. The atmosphere there was one that I haven't felt in a while. Everyone I rubbed elbows with, was looking to have fun and enjoyed each other's company. Truly a special place, and the bartender states that Thursday nights are busier than Fridays! Get a seat at the bar and you’re in for a great time!“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“I want to work for Applebee's again I was with the company 3 years serving and was losing my apartment one day I mentioned to manager Guillermo of Hackensack NJ Applebee's that I had to leave because the police was at my house doing eviction and he wouldn't let me go. I turned in the restaurant money and left because what do you do when ur in the middle of an eviction and your boss wasn't being understanding or reasonable?...... I went to attend my personal situation with my apartment at the time and he then red flagged me from working for Doherty ent. Again .....is there a way I can get a fair hearing and get back to working with the company I started ever serving at my first time ever?“

“We got seated right away. We were a party of six and they had no problems feeding us. The server was very kind and very nice. He continually checked on us and asked us if he needed anything. It took about 5 minutes before he took drinks and food. The OG was very good and it came with a Caesar salad that was delicious. I would not recommend the rigatoni with pesto unless you're getting it. As aside. It is very filling. Also, the tables were very sticky. Overall, I would recommend this if you need a quick place to eat.“

“The amazing food and professional service is what I rely on for special moments I want to enjoy whole-heartedly.“

“Unbelievable food and awesome atmosphere. Service was fast. Definitely recommend this place“

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

“We hosted an event (brunch) of about fifty people in their second floor party rooms. When we first went to check it out, my impression, with apologies to Freemans, was that it seemed dated. I am including a picture of what it actually looked like on the day of. Simply classy, elegant and imbued with a delightful warmth which was so appropriate to the event we were having. WOW!!! Partial but representative picture included.

Lina Mark, our point person, for the entire event is truly remarkable as a responsive, pro-active and accommodating professional who understood our requirements and more than met them. 'Abundance' was the catch phrase and we were not let down in any respect.

What stood out as the most remarkable ingredient in this affair and commented upon by many of our guests was the outstanding level of service. It was unobtrusive, yet always present, and importantly, hospitable. Our heartful thanks to this amazing team put together for our do.

At initial mingling time wait-staff glided through with mimosas and bloody Marys' and accommodated some of our finicky guests with their choice of cocktails. Abundance!

The food included their famous artichoke dip and avocado toast for appetizers. Entrees included were Nashville Hot Chicken, Norwegian Benedict and a delish frittata. The chicken, for me, proved to be outstanding! Desserts included mini Basque cheesecakes, brownies and ice cream. It was judiciously laid out family style on the tables and proved to be very successful in terms of reach for everyone.

Am I getting tiresome? Sorry, I can't seem to get over it!!“

“Amazing! Words are hard to describe what Suzy has going here. The menu is one of the more unique combinations that you’ll see anywhere. It’s full of also some of the best food that you’ll ever eat. From the time that you walk in to the time you leave, you feel like family. It’s a must eat when in NYC and we will be back next trip!“

“This place has a really cool vibe. A non touristy place right in the middle of Times Square. Really cool art and decoration. However, the painting of the woman in the all-gender bathroom was disturbing to me. And I like a lot of different kinds of art. However, I wasn't expecting to see a velvet painting of a bound and nude indigenous woman with tears in her eyes..

If you order anything I would suggest the pancakes. They're amongst the best I've ever had! Seriously. I'm not exaggerating! However, one of the people in my party was disappointed with her order of chicken and waffles. It was listed as hot and spicy but really wasn't at all. Her order was comped and the waitress handled it really well so I appreciated that.

The shared apps that I tried were mostly OK. Try the potato skins. They're quite good! You can get the bacon on the side so non pork eaters can have them while pork eaters can add it themselves. The banana bread wasn't anything to write home about plus the portions were not quite large enough to be considered a shared app.

And they give out green tea shots when you close out the check. If you're not a drinker, make sure you tell them to decline this. I wasn't expecting that. They had the right amount of sweet and sour. No green tea in them though 😂

All in all problematic art aside I recommend Ms. Nellie's for a good brunch place.“
