“My family has been ordering from this pizzeria for years and usually have it delivered. Until recently, our Dad has passed, we now dine in after our visit to the cemetery. My favorite dish is in the picture 🍝 The pasta is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is just the right amount of spicy. I never finish it all and it’s even better the next day.“

“Excellent service great ambiance and excellent food!“

“Mermaid, whether this location or others, has really fresh and tasty seafood. This location is very convenient being off of (not in) Times Square. I love going there for their small bites during their happy hour, which does include weekends! They have far more than oysters and I love their clam chowder, raw fish dishes like tartar, and lobster knuckles.“

“We literally just went two nights in a row!

The food is awesome. First night we got the Shrimp Ala Sabry's. Amazing. Second night we got the Seafood Combo for two!! Incredible. The prices were also so reasonable!

Highly recommend!“

“Great experience everything was perfect 😍“

“exelente comida y ambiente, muy recomendado.“

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“We came at 5 PM on a Wednesday and it was calm and peaceful. The food tasted clean with a focus on the ingredients natural flavor. The chicken was fried very well and it's taste was fairly light with a hint of MSG. The galbi-jjim was tender and youll find yourself dipping it back in the sauce after each bite. Nothing was excessive in flavor which might be a downside for someone expecting heavy pocha style flavors. Even the kimchi wasn't too sour and had a crunch to it. It's unique and healthy, plus the place is gorgeous and a great place for a date.“

“I took my son to Empire Steak House for his 15th birthday, and overall it was a great experience. The service was amazing, attentive, welcoming, and made the night feel special from start to finish. The sides, mashed potatoes and baked potato, were just okay and could've used more flavor, even with butter, salt, and pepper. But the steak... absolutely incredible. Easily one of the best steaks in the city. Definitely a spot I'd return to for the quality of the meat and top-tier service.“

“service and food was amazing“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Kann ich nur empfehlen, in Service, Preis und Geschmack nahezu unschlagbar! Seiten so gut in NYC gegessen, sei es Seafood oder auch Anderes. Bei uns waren es: Appetizer: Spanish Octopus Entrée: Bone-In NY Strip Dessert: NY Cheesecake P.s.: Es gibt auch vegetarische Gerichte.“

“Atmosphere, amazing! Food, top! Jeffrey, BRAVISSIMO!“

“Loved this place, coming back to NYC just for this restaurant!“

“Loved the tasting menu experience! Such an active kitchen and everything tasted amazing. I also ordered the lobster pot pie from the a la carte menu and the kitchen was able to fit it in before dessert. Great dinner! The flavor profiles were really blended. Loved small aspects like the coconut snow and the ginger granita.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Nice atmosphere, very professional and friendly staff. Best caviar and great gourmet food selections.“

“Great food and drinks! A big pricey, but worth it!“

“My Husband & I Love This Spot So Much. We Come As Often As We Can Which Is A Lot. The Staff Are Very Friendly And Never Had A Bad Experience. I Will Continue To Come, Sit, Eat & Drink.“

“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 had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, strong drinks. Plenty of food, beautiful restaurant. Definitely worth it. Plus we got a little loud and they were fine with it. Didn’t feel threatened lol“

“We came here for Valentine’s Day dinner and had a great experience overall. The food was delicious across the board, and the service was attentive and welcoming. Our only small note is that the portions felt a bit on the smaller side, but the quality and presentation were excellent.“

“The food is incredible! Casual but impeccable sums up the menu, atmosphere, and experience. Moina served us and is exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable. This is a must when in Fort Greene!! Don’t skip the oysters, the broccoli salad, or the shrimp loaf!“

“I've been dining at Nick's since the late 90s and I have never been disappointed. The food is great, love the atmosphere, and the service is great. Our waiter was ALLAN, he is so on point, courteous, very friendly.“

“One of the East Village's best kept secrets. This casual, chill restaurant consistently has the freshest and best selection of oysters in New York City at very fair prices, especially during their happy hour special.

The crabcake and tuna tartar appetizers are our favorites, as well as the cioppino and the branzino special (when they have it). Also the tuna entree is large and really delicious. I love the scallops here and the fettuccine with clams. To be fair, all the seafood here is amazing!

The space itself is not fancy looking and gives off the vibe as a hidden away spot, but certainly one loved by people who appreciate great food.

The staff is super sweet as well! Whenever I go, I feel like there's always a bunch of regulars who have also discovered how amazing this place is and sort of want to keep it a secret.“

“This is a magical spot. I’ve had dinner here twice, most recently for their Sunday Supper. The food was excellent across the board — in addition to the three courses included with the meal, we had the pearled barley with burrata and the bone marrow with mashed potatoes. The three of us couldn’t agree on what we loved the most. My personal favorites were the bone marrow and the chicken soup with cilantro and lime (would pay $$$$$ for that soup the next time I’m sick).

Don’t sleep on Ilis for a light dinner and drinks. Even if you’re not doing the full tasting menu, this place offers so much for you to try that you likely won't find anywhere else. As someone who has sat at the bar many times, I’d say that the cocktails are on par with bars like Maison Premiere and Please Don't Tell (all the drinks are excellent but don’t miss the Carajillo!). And the a la carte menu offers dishes that are consistently delicious and interesting. It’s a BEAUTIFUL restaurant that’s been meticulously crafted, and everyone who works here is really knowledgeable and friendly.“

“Wow!!! Very impressive, everything fresh, delicious & huge servings. I had chicken tenders, my mom had fried shrimp ,we both had with sweet potato fries that had a slight syrupy taste which were amazing, we got hush puppies and calamari to split..both great..we ate and still have plenty left for a full meal.. also have a seperate full bar, frozen drinks, tv's etc service was also great ..I definitely recommend ...oh and great prices“

“Rebecca's is one of the best servers I've ever seen.“

“Friend who tried Cap’t Loui in Cape Cod highly recommended it when she saw it open in Sunnyside, Queens. Prices are good, so you don’t have to wait to treat yourself only on special occasions. The Capt’n Loui sauce boil was really good and 1 pound per person was very filling. The garlic noodles as a side was delicious, and we tried it dipped in the boil’s sauce, too. Service was spectacular. Minh Kha gave us his favorites as suggestions and cleaned up after us well. All of my favorite pop tunes were playing as well. Thoroughly enjoyed and will be back.“

“I went to celebrate my sister's birthday. Everything was exceptional! From the time we walked in until the time we left. My only concern was that we did not take pictures of the food, but you will have a great experience.“

“My partner and I love cafe mado and have previously dined here but not in a minute.

Place de fetes was truly a 10/10 experience. They are so creative and seasonally aligned. The menu is delicious and exciting.

The service is wonderful and kind.

If you can, come here, order a lot and enjoy the nice vibes“

“Didn’t expect to find my best crispy pork belly of the year at a Thai spot!!! The skin was insanely crisp yet slightly chewy. The dipping sauce on the side was perfectly balanced.

For the main, we went with the panang short ribs. The beef was coated in a rich, mildly spicy curry. We added steamed veggies instead of rice and they fit curry.“

“Fantastic place, super excellent attention from Felipe, the manager and the waitress Juliana. I loved the place, the atmosphere and the food. This place is a 10/10! If you are looking for a good atmosphere in Long Island City this is the perfect place.“

“This restaurant honestly deserves more than one Michelin star!!!!

From the beautiful interior to the stunning plating, everything was amazing—and the food tasted absolutely heavenly. Even the word “luxury” feels too small for this place.

If anyone asks me for a Michelin restaurant recommendation in New York, this would be my number one pick without hesitation. For a special day with a special person, you really don’t need to think twice about where to go.

It was the happiest birthday meal I could have asked for, and one I’ll never forget.
I’m already trying to book another reservation soon. It was even better than I expected.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“I live up the street so I buy at the fish market more often. The prices no longer seem high once the fish is prepared and eaten. I wouldn’t know where to find better fish. Whole Foods is just ruined after this, you’ll never go back.

On the rare occasions I do eat in I enjoy it
A lot. Love the rice bowls and the oysters at the bar.“

“May was amazing to us! She made sure we were well taken care of and made sure we were having a great time. 10/10 place! Will gladly return soon!“

“excellent service and delicious fresh food.“

“Fabulous atmosphere and excellent food“

“I’ve eaten here twice and even spilled a strawberry margarita & it was replaced. The staff is great the food is awesomely delicious and Jake & Gray made both visits so worth while. Thank you both! And thank you Burgers & Lobster!! 😊“

“Docks is an institution! I am so glad it is still around and going strong. 40 years ago I used to hang out there after work to unwind and socialize with my colleagues. We were young and loved the energy the place exuded. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting up with a new colleague for happy hour and it did not disappoint. The bar is exactly how I remembered it and the happy hour prices plus the quality of the food made me well---happy! I shall return but much sooner next time :-)“

“We had amazing time at Fabrika. I had reservations but we had to change,from saturday to sunday. Service was very nice food wow love every bites of everything.
All details just awesome. Place not big,but definitely for bday vibes. On the weekend make sure you have reservation.“

“First time here!

The medium sauce that goes with the calamari is absolutely delicious!“

“The best around service is grestaff is friendly. Food is out of this world. Highly recommended“
