“Fabulous experience last night here for a quick fun trip to the city. Perfect pre-show spot if seeing anything at Lincoln Center, as we were. Team from hostess, to manager Shay, who was checking on all guests periodically, in addition to our fabulous server Tijana were wonderful and so friendly. The food did not disappoint either! Great menu, and reasonable prices for the amazing quantity you get- not to mention the quality. We went for the filet with the cacio e Pepe ravioli and there really aren’t enough adjectives to describe how delicious it was - perfection!! In addition the garlic babel, pepperoni cups, meatballs, antipasto wedge and MOST mind-blowing lemon cheesecake were all sublime!! Great job and can’t wait to get back to try the other amazing dishes we saw delivered all around us.“

“Wonderful experience! Amazing Apps & Steak / Side. Great cocktails. Beautifully put together & appointed cozy bar & restaurant. Most importantly - the staff is amazing. Mike A was an outstanding server. It all started with a warm welcome by the Maitre D, a great conversation with the Hostess, and then an amazing experience by Mike & the serving staff. The soft shell crab & shrimp cocktail appetizers were exceptional. And we had the 30 oz porterhouse steak to share. Cooked to perfection. Finally, the steak sauce that is prepared at your table is epic. Highly, highly recommend!! Be informed - it does get loud in there when full of customers. Still can't wait to to go back!“

“The atmosphere is lacking, but the food is good. It used to be great, and now lack consistency. The service leaves something to be desired.
I come for the smothered chicken, but I don't go as often due to the increased prices and decreased service.“

“Calos Restaurant never disappoints! My absolute favorite is the linguine garlic with chicken and broccoli (yes, a custom order and they always get it perfect 🙌). The calamari is hands down the best, and they even offer a gluten-free option! And let’s talk about the drinks… Omg amazing. The mango lemonade and mango tea are my go-to favorites. 🥭✨ The arugula salad is to die for, and if you’re looking for a weekend treat, their brunch menu is pretty great too! Fresh, flavorful, and always made with love. A must-visit spot in North Arlington!“

“I hosted my Ladies Who Lead brunch at The St. Clair yesterday, and I could not be more impressed. From the moment we arrived, the hostess and staff made us feel welcomed and taken care of. A special thank-you to Leo, our waiter, who delivered exceptional service the entire time — attentive, warm, and on point with every detail.

And the food… absolutely delicious.
The French toast, the autumn hash, the oatmeal pancakes, and that biscuit — the biscuit deserves its own shout-out — everything was outstanding. Every plate was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.

The aesthetics and ambiance of the restaurant were just perfect for our event: warm, stylish, and inviting. It created the ideal backdrop for a memorable afternoon with an incredible group of women.

I highly recommend The St. Clair for brunch, events, or anytime you want a great meal paired with amazing service. I’ll definitely be returning.“

“New Terry’s Cozy Corner offers a delightful, homey dining experience that truly lives up to its name. The food is simple yet delicious, with standout breakfast options like their famous Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a roll, perfectly cooked omelets, and fluffy pancakes. The home fries are a crowd favorite, crispy and well-seasoned. If you're a fan of hearty, classic breakfast fare, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, thanks to its family-owned operation, where the staff is known for being friendly and attentive. The diner serves fresh coffee that pairs wonderfully with any meal, making it a perfect spot for a cozy morning start. With affordable prices, generous portions, and consistently tasty food, it's no wonder locals come back regularly. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down to enjoy a relaxed breakfast, New Terry’s Cozy Corner is a must-visit for anyone looking for a comforting and satisfying meal“

“Great spot for daily specials ranging from drink deals, brunch, and food deals!

I came on Thursday for the $1 jumbo wings deal. Unfortunately the wings were mediocre at best with soft skin and a bland sauce. The blue cheese tasted nice and fresh however. I coincidentally came during the US Open and they were serving the famous Honey Deuce! This was delicious and even came in the branded cup.

I find The Wolfe to be a nice spot to come for some classic American Food and to get a drink with your coworkers or friends. The vibe was definitely chill after work hang out and catching a game on the many TVs. This also seems like a nice spot to get brunch if you’re in the area.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of having Kim as my bartender and she’s the absolute best there is. Very personable , knowledgeable of what to have to eat or drink and just the best at what she does . Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“nice atmosphere, good eats at good prices.“

“Great spot for drinks and a drink 🥃 what a great time and place, we well be coming back“

“Came here on a hot September afternoon and got a table right away. Our waitress was so friendly! We shared the Santa Fe chicken wrap in a spinach tortilla — absolutely delicious. The sweet potato fries were crisp and perfect with honey mustard for dipping. I had a mule, and it was the ideal refreshing drink. Such a great spot for a light, tasty midday lunch!“

“Great staff and food. Coming back for the evening music too!“

“Very chic city atmosphere with a beautiful bar & dining area indoors. The food and service was outstanding.“

“Planned a dinner for my husband's birthday last Saturday. Mars was our waitress. She was attentive and so kind. The manager Sarah provided awesome service to our large party as well. Food was delicious. DJ Blurred Lines played all the hot 🔥 music and classics. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sarah & Mars 🫶✨️🥂🎶“

“Quality place, great food and good service.“

“Hands down the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant I’ve ever been to! You walk into what feels like a cozy dive bar, but when you ask to sit in the dining room, they take you through the kitchen to the back—and wow, it’s like stepping into a hidden gem packed with memorabilia everywhere you look. I didn’t even know where to start taking it all in!

The owner personally went around to every table, greeting everyone and chatting with us about the history of the place—which alone deserves 10 stars. Every single dish we tried was absolutely fantastic. The baked clams were massive, and the garlic clams in that buttery garlic sauce? I could honestly drink it with a spoon. Then came the steaks—perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

To top it all off, the chef came out to greet everyone too and asked how everything was. It’s such a rare touch that made us feel like family, like we’d been regulars for years. And for the kids—there’s even a fun little scavenger hunt, which is such a cute idea!

If I could give Charlie Bloods 20 stars, I would. This place is full of heart, history, and seriously good food. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Seasonal dishes fresh and beautifully presented! Friendly and helpful team with excellent dish recommendations :)“

“This is a beautiful restaurant and the food was excellent. I highly recommend treating yourself to a meal here is you have never done so. It is a little pricey, but not out of reach. I made the reservations only about a week ahead and was surprised there were openings, but it was a week before they would be decorated for Christmas, so many people were probably waiting to eat there when is is in holiday style.“

“Food is very good and staff very attentive though menu limited. It's too loud! Music is fine but not when you can't carry on a conversation or hear the servers. I don't understand why anyone thinks that's a good thing.“

“I recently visited the Pancake Factory and had the pleasure of being served by J. From the moment I walked in, J's warm and welcoming demeanor made me feel right at home. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring my experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. J's knowledge of the menu was impressive—they provided excellent recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious. The pancakes were fantastic, but it was J's exceptional service that truly made my visit memorable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and ability to anticipate needs were outstanding. If you're looking for top-notch service and a great dining experience, ask for J—you won't be disappointed!🥰“

“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!“
