“We got married 11/4/23 at Soundview and had such an amazing experience with Soundview. When beginning the venue search we knew we wanted a waterfront venue with an outdoor space for the ceremony and a suitable indoor option in case the weather didn't cooperate. We fell in love with the stunning indoor and outdoor views and the fact that they host one event at a time was also a MAJOR plus for us. During the wedding planning process, Brittany was easy to get in touch with, super organized, and quick to answer any questions I had. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Our guests are still raving about the food and talking about how beautiful the venue was. Diego made sure everything ran smoothly, and Taryn our bridal attendant went above and beyond helping out our photographers, and made sure my husband and I had cocktails. The entire Soundview staff went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was spectacular and we can't recommend them enough“
“This place is a gem in Cos Cob. Everything is delicious and it's very gluten-free and dairy-free friendly for my dietary needs. My go-to's are the quarter chicken meal with brussel sprouts, creamy tahini sauce, and the fries. Dare I say, best brussel sprouts I've ever had. The sauce is divine!Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options in the form of sides, salads and wraps.Dietary restrictions: Menu items are clearly labeled for gluten-free and vegan options.“

The party hall itself was spacious and elegantly decorated, creating a festive and welcoming atmosphere for all our guests.The highlight of the evening was the impressive lighting and sound system that really set the mood for the celebration.

They were responsive to all our inquiries and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of.

“For me, consistency is a major factor when it comes to choosing where to eat. Gyrolicious is consistently serving up some of the best Greek food I've had outside of Astoria, and the staff is always very welcoming. The portions are very generous, and never lack in flavor. You can tell they really take pride in serving their customers and the quality of the food they put out. Absolutely recommend!“
“From my bride: Book this venue NOW. The Royalton Mansion is a hidden gem that is absolutely beautiful, the food is amazing, and the staff is so kind. We were blown away by EVERYTHING. Mike and Arturo have been amazing since the first day we stepped in the front door to tour the Royalton. They truly make you feel like family. Communication has been very clear and they made us feel right at home. From that first conversation, everything was about us. We were able to make the Royalton our dream wedding and they never said no to any idea or ask.All of our guests have said this is the best wedding they have ever been to. We have received tons of compliments on how beautiful the venue is, the variation and amount of food at cocktail hour, and how every single dinner came out hot and in a timely fashion. All of the staff was professional and cared so much. Arturo was amazing and even gave the groom his own collar stays when we realized he forgot them. Michelle (the bridal attendant) was phenomenal. She kept all 13 bridesmaids organized and fulfilled every need / ask while taking phenomenal care of the bride. She was always around taking care of everyone and was on her feet from 7 am - 11:30 pm. We couldn’t be more thankful for this incredible team. Our wedding night was everything we have dreamed of and more thanks to The Royalton.“

“Olivia's food is amazing - delicious, healthy, fresh, and a HUGE helper for busy people. She is the consummate pro, and wonderfully attuned to the needs of her clients. Her meals are truly fabulous self-care and also make wonderful gifts. Cannot recommend her highly enough!“
“Been going here for years and always get the nuggets with the cones and the fries. Unfortunately, the portions get smaller as the years go by. The chicken is always consistent and the egg sandwiches are amongst the best in the town I think. The milkshakes are yummy as well and they have different unique wraps. Overall I recommend for a quick bite to eat while in the area.“
“This place is fantastic!! The wings are perfectly cooked. The ribs are AMAZING! The brisket is cooked to perfection. This place is an absolute hidden gem, if you love BBQ and you live on Long Island you are missing out if you haven’t been here yet. Highly recommend!!“
“Came in here and said to the guy behind the counter that I heard they had the best chicken nuggets ever. He answered with an emphatic yes and couldn't believe I was unaware of this undeniable fact. Wish I caught his name because he was extremely nice and couldn't have been more friendly and helpful for my first time here.And yes they do actually have the best chicken nuggets. I also had the cones (fried mashed potatoes) and onion rings, both of which were delicious.Delicious food and great friendly service. I'll have to check out the other location too that he told me about which is closer to home.“
“Best deli food ever with amazing customer service, they're fast & super friendly, they remember me even when I don't go in for a couple of months. They also have the best Chipotle mayo I've ever had!! No other deli compares“
“I'm giving it 4 stars, because I went in looking for lunch, not an additional 10 pounds! Hahaha the food was so good!!! And desert......stop it! I should bill you for the sugar coma I was left in, the cookies, canoli, puddings also so very good. This place is amazing, a whole lot of everything no matter what your taste buds are craving!“
“Corner spot, parking in the back but also parking on the street available. Small spot but the service and delivery of food is really quick. Fresh bagels, delicious bagels. I love bagel and I’d consider myself a bagel tester lol. Ice coffee was fresh and great as well.“
“Made a reservation here for restaurant week. Apparently didn't need one. The place has its own parking lot with about a dozen spots. We entered the building which took us into the bar, which was bustling. The dining room was quaint, with some really nice booths and a fireplace that should have been lit. Our server was a good looking young man, pleasant, not overbearing with a sense of humor. We opted to include an additional appetizer of baked clams to our meal, along with the crab cake and winter salad, which I forgot to take photos of. My friend opted for the lamb chops while I had the branzino piccata. Yummy, although the menu never stated that the fish was served over a shrimp risotto. (I'm allergic to shrimp). Only 1 bone in the fish, so I was lucky. Our dessert consisted of tiramisu and rainbow cookie cheesecake. I was "fortunate" to get the last piece although not very cheesecake-y. All in all we had a nice dinner and will maybe return for another meal.“
