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..“

“If you’re looking for amazing Dominican comfort food, Un Chin Grab & Go is a must. The fried chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside, full of flavor. The burger was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long time—fresh, well-seasoned, and stacked just right.

We also ordered the picadera to share and it was loaded with variety. Everything came out hot, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. You can tell they don’t cut corners with the food.

The service was quick and friendly, and the place has a great vibe for grabbing good food with friends or family. Definitely coming back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“If I could rate the service 10 stars I would. Victoria was the absolute BEST waitress I’ve ever had at a bottomless brunch experience. She consistently checked in on us, and I truly had the best birthday ever with 10 of my closest friends. Despite being a larger group, we felt cared for and attended to. It was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better day because of Victoria“

“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.“

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

“Nudibranch was incredible. Food, cocktails, vibes and service were all genuinely 10/10. The crab tteokbokki was one of the best dishes we had all trip.

The whole team was so warm and welcoming, and you can really feel how much they care about the overall experience. A very special spot. Can’t wait to come back.“

“Family Meal at Blue Hill in New York offers a warm, thoughtfully curated dining experience that feels both elevated and approachable. The menu highlights seasonal, farm-driven ingredients prepared with care and creativity. I tried several dishes, each showcasing fresh flavors and clean, balanced execution. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, making it perfect for a shared meal with friends or family. Attentive service and a strong focus on quality make it a place I’d happily return to.“

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

“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!“

“What a treat to stumble upon Parker & Quinn! It was an intimate atmosphere and a perfect night for me and my 10-year-old daughter. The kids’ menu was so good (the pasta was homemade and so delicious that I had to enjoy a few bites!), and my margarita flatbread was incredible. Great service from our server and another gentleman (the manager?) who came over multiple times to check on us. I highly recommend you check this out if you’re looking for something away from the hustle and bustle and generic nature of Timed Square. Chef’s kiss!“

“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!“

“Classic for pre-or post Broadway fare!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“One of the best Georgian chain of restaurants in NYC. Delicious food, Georgian wine, cozy atmosphere and very pleasant staff. Highly recommended 💗“

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

“The food was good. We did order the very basic things like the burger and steak with fries. We also tried the souffle for dessert. Everything was good, but I'm not sure it was really worth the price. When this was a neighborhood spot and the prices matched (if that was ever the case), I could see it making a lot more sense. But at these prices, I don't think it maths. Nothing wrong with the food, but also not the best of anything I've ever had.“

“dog friendly and the food is very good“

“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.“

“Excellent food! Well done!“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I stopped by on a Thursday evening around 6pm and was surprised by how lively it was, clearly a popular spot! The only seat available was near the entrance, so I felt the occasional gust of cold air when the door opened, but that just speaks to how busy they were.
I don’t drink alcohol, so I can’t speak to the drinks, but I ordered the burger and it was excellent. The fries were just as impressive, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Even though I didn’t get to fully take in the ambiance since I was seated by the door, I still had a really positive experience overall.
The staff truly stood out, friendly, attentive, and incredibly kind throughout my visit. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try!“

“Absolutely stunning from start to finish. Wonderful service from Yumen at the bar. Every course (we ordered the rhubarb bluefin tuna, buckwheat pancake, lobster roll, black cod, and celery float for dessert) was better than the next. Gorgeous interior and attention to detail. Will be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fabulous and gluten free. great selection, service, atmosphere and very close to MSG!“

“This place is a gem! Came here with a close friend, wanting to talk and have good food. The drinks were stellar and the food was delicious! The bar area was loud and lively, while the dining room was peaceful and quiet. Super friendly service. This is just perfect! We had an amazing dinner. I’ll be back for sure!“

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

“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!“

“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!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Jeff made us feel at home! I originally came in from Brooklyn, NY to come visit a friend out in Jersey! My first time here felt like I’ve been here before. Jeff recommended some special sauces to us for the wings and it stands out compared to other places. We allowed us to taste test a hot sauce, which wasn’t just hot, but flavorful as well! He held wonderful conversations with us and was able to relate to us in a lot of ways. His engagement made us want to come back! I’ll be here once again if I find myself around town again. The cook was cool too! Thanks again Jeff 🙌🏾“
