“Varney’s is awesome! Whether you go for a lobster roll and margarita in the summer or French onion soup in the winter, they just always knock it out of the park! Not to mention they have the BEST mussels - red or white!”

“Randomly stopped in for an egg sandwich and they make a proper one at a fair price. The inside is an old school Long Island deli. Perfect, don’t change anything.”

“Painter’s is where portion sizes border on the absurd and service moves at lightning speed. On Father’s Day, with the parking lot packed, we braced for a long wait, but were seated instantly, perhaps by restaurant wizardry. The staff? Efficient, friendly, and impressively attentive despite being slammed. The craft beer selection? Solid, featuring multiple IPAs, including Sand City’s local legend, "Oops I Hopped My Pants." And the food? Each dish arrived in comical abundance, leaving us marveling at the sheer generosity of Painter’s kitchen. Massive portions, incredible flavors. As for dessert, Painter’s offers a parade of palate-pleasing perfection. A symphony of sweets so spectacular they silence self-restraint. Countless confections, crafted with precision, passion, and pure decadence. Bring an appetite, a to-go container, or maybe your Wegovy shot.”

“I have to admit, I DO NOT eat sushi at all. I brought my wife because she loves sushi and it was her birthday. I did my research and all the reviews were very positive. I decided to indulge even though I thought I wouldn’t like the meal. Much to my surprise I loved the meal and my wife was in all her glory. Watching the chefs prepare each course with the precision and attention to detail was great. These chefs really take pride in their craft. 10 out of 10!! Must try again!!!”

“I would like to give a big shout out and extend my appreciation to Taco Island, a food truck parked in the Carvel parking lot in St James, for their delicious food and exeptional customer service! The quality and freshness of their cuisine are consistently high, and the staff is always courteous and grateful for customers' business. We regularly order from them and have never experienced any difficulties. Tonight, despite a high volume of orders, they mistakenly provided the incorrect quesadilla. However, they promptly contacted me to rectify the situation and kindly offered to deliver the correct quesadilla to my residence to prevent our food from getting cold. Their dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction is truly remarkable!!”

The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.”

“the coffee was delicious”

“The food was fresh, flavorful, and a great healthy option. Everything tasted well-seasoned and made with quality ingredients. The customer service was warm and welcoming, and the space itself was very clean and spacious, which made the experience even better. They also have a cute outdoor seating area that would be perfect for enjoying a meal during the summertime. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be back to try more from their menu!”

“The servers were excellent from the moment we arrived. Cocktails were perfect. We shared the tuna carpaccio which was an excellent combination of flavors... so we looked forward to to the entree... I ordered halibut, ( my favorite) but it was served on a celery root purée which sadly had very little flavor, so while the fish was cooked perfectly, the dish lacked pizzazz. My husband ordered the duck which did have a nice combination of flavors. I wanted to offer a better score but the halibut was just bla.”

“The Dark Horse has a chill environment and an amazing staff the food and coffee was delicious! I highly recommend this cool relaxing spot!!!”

“How many times have I passed this place without knowing what an absolute hidden gem this place is. Authentic, gorgeous dishes. The length they go to to serve, in such a way that the dishes are beautiful when brought to the table. Hands down best Asian fusion restaurant I have been to in a long time.
Services: 11/10
Food: 10/10
Every meal comes with dessert!”
