“Adrienne’s is the BEST restaurant around by far - I even prefer it over many great dining spots in Manhattan. Atmosphere… service… food… cocktails… I truly cannot say enough good things.
The bar tenders are consistently excellent (especially Christine inside and Chris M. outside).
The oysters are the best I’ve ever had and they rotate the selection practically everyday (ask for their house-made hot sauce with them for an added bonus).
Can’t go wrong with any dish on the food menu.
This place knows how to handle a crowd with ease!!! Always best vibes here.“

“My experience with Prestige Palace Lounge was amazing!! I booked this venue to celebrate my 40th birthday and I am very pleased with my decision! Mark, the owner along with Winston was extremely helpful from beginning to end of the planning process. Mark never failed to respond to every concern and request I've made. He was very, professional, respectful and accommodating to my every needs. He recommended a good cook for my party , allowed me to bring my own cook and offered free bottles wine on the house! I can't thank him enough! I am very grateful for the service he provided.

He also allowed excessive amount of time for decoration set up and was extremely accommodating. The venue was beautiful and full of life with disco lighting and elegant ambiance. My guest were all pleased and had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking you next event with Prestige palace lounge!“

“Great staff and atmosphere“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Luisa was a great waitress and we had a nice time there. The chicken champignon (mushroom sauce) was delicious and loaded with mushrooms. Great classic margaritas for under $10 with lunch. ❤️“

“Just had a Birthday Dinner and we enjoyed from the beginning to the end. The food was amazing! The octopus dish is delicious.. i loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place!!!!“

“pizza and salad was amazing, great service and wonderful ambience. Drinks are always delicious. Only issue was the noise, there was a large table that was very loud and the noise carried. I have been here many times and tbis was unusually loud.“

Dietary restrictions: My wife is diagnosed with celiac disease and this is one of the very few places we can trust for her to enjoy eating out“

“The Sunken Lounge was pretty groovy. The rich, retro, red lounge was warm and welcoming, and the view of Connie Cocktail Lounge out the back with the runway lights was far out. When we were watching the final season of The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel, it was neat to see TWA Hotel and The Sunken Lounge used as the set for the airport.“

“We loved the decor, the ambiance, the dishes of food were all amazing, and best of all was our server Alma. She was a 10 out of 10.“

“This is our favorite place. Live music, great food, incredible setting. Not to mention Russ and John run it perfectly.“

“Went in for breakfast. Our server was decent. Walked away as I was finishing telling him my order, which came out ICE COLD & WRONG!!!! I requested a ham, COOKED/SAUTÉED ONION & American cheese omelet, fries and RYE toast with crispy bacon. My omelet was well done, the onions RAW, fries were ice cold my bacon was not cooked and not there had to tell the runner, and my toast was marble. All this for OVER &50.00!!! The server came by, we were basically finished. Asked how everything was. How would he or the runner know our order. Neither one looked at the order. NEVER AGAIN!!!“

“While biking along the beach with my son, we got hungry and were heading toward Subway — he wasn’t sure we could find anything tastier or healthier nearby. That’s when we spotted this cozy little sushi café-bar. We decided to take a chance — and wow, what a discovery!

We sat outside to keep an eye on our bikes and picked a few items at random: gyoza, a poke bowl, a roll, and French fries. And honestly, everything exceeded our expectations — fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying.

Let me take a moment to rave about the fries — they were pure perfection: crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy fries anywhere else after this. I swear, they’ve either got a secret seasoning… or a bit of kitchen magic going on.

The poke bowl was beautifully balanced and fresh. Instead of the usual beans, it had green peas — I usually prefer beans, but I suspect they were out and made a thoughtful substitution. It still worked!

A special shoutout to the staff: even though we didn’t order drinks, they brought us cold water with ice on a hot day — a simple gesture that made a big difference.

I’m definitely coming back with my whole family. If you’re in the area — don’t pass this place by. It’s a hidden gem that knows how to make you feel welcome and well-fed.“

“tasty drinks, talented staff, beautiful ambiance.“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend“

“WOW! What a great experience our family had dining at Atlas. First, our server, Abdul was OUTSTANDING. Managing a party of 14 is no easy task - and Abdul did it with a consistent smile, grace and efficiency. He made our experience amazing. The food — PHENOMENAL: We did a mix of Indian flare and some American. Everything was over the top — very tasty and well prepared. Highly recommend!“

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“This was a new experience. I was surprised that the seafood was fresh coming from a plastic bag.
It was great that they separated fried foods (in tray)from the boiled(bag). The corn on the cob was overcooked (mushy).
It's important to know that this is NOT a KID friendly restaurant. Under 4 1/2 ft is half priced. My 6 year old was 2 inches over, he had $70 french fries and some shrimp. The all-you-can-eat price is $59.95 and they automatically add 18% tip, so BEWARE.
Remember to leave the kids at home.
Is good place for adults to meet up all-you-can-eat includes sodas with refills.(beer is available at additional cost)
Hope this helps you with your decision.“

“I started coming here even if I don't need to go to the mall. The restaurant is just so good and the service is outstanding. Every person working in the restaurant is so kind and professional. I love all their sandwiches, tortilla soup, salads with salmon or chicken, and truffle fries.“

“The server did a great job with navigating the menu. It was our first time going to dinner there.“

“We have been coming to LB Social since Matt took it over years ago. The food is always On Point! The staff are always friendly, work well with one another, attentive Drinks are always good I don’t have 1 bad thing to say except why haven’t you been there yet if not ?“

“Good spot for the family!“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“This place it's so cute! A must try for sure. Their food is amazing good! I went with my girls to celebrate our birthdays and it did not disappointed. Coming back for sure!“

“Sometimes you’re just looking for a little beach time and some great BBQ – and Batesy's BBQ delivered on both! We were in town helping another G-FORCE location with an Amazon project, so naturally, we took a break to explore the local food scene. First Impressions: We kicked off with the Deviled Eggs – the jalapeño added a nice little kick while the bacon... well, it was bacon – crispy and delicious. Next up were the House Pickles – sweet, vinegary, and unexpectedly tasty. Who knew pickles could be this good? The Mains: Harry went with the Pulled Pork – packed with flavor, moist, and paired with an excellent sauce. The Potato Salad stood out with just the right-sized chunks, and the Cornbread? Perfectly crispy on the outside. Steve opted for the BBQ Chicken – tender and juicy, coated with that same outstanding house sauce. And the Kielbasa? This place might not be Polish, but they nailed it – full of flavor and definitely a surprise hit! The Potato Salad reminded us of Grandma’s homemade classic, and the Collards had a unique twist that, honestly, we didn’t hate. The rest of the table didn’t hold back either – from the Burger to the Mac and Cheese and, of course, more Pulled Pork, it was all a hit! No complaints across the board – Batesy's BBQ is definitely a must-stop if you’re in Rockaway Beach. #BBQLovers #PaintAndPlateCrew #GForceOnTheGo #FoodieFinds #WinWithVSB“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment and the experience was a mixed bag. The food was absolutely exceptional, each dish bursting with flavor and well prepared. The service was top-notch as well - attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I ordered a Cosmo and my friend ordered the old fashioned. The bartender did an excellent job and both drinks were delicious!

However, the ambiance left something to be desired. The decor felt a bit outdated and could use some modernization to match the quality of the cuisine and service. With a revamp in the ambiance department, this place could easily become a five-star dining destination. Overall, a great spot for a delicious meal with fantastic service, but with room for improvement in the atmosphere.“

“great service, well rounded menu and fantastic food. so glad we decided to dine here. definitely coming back!“

“This place is awesome! I came here last night with my cousin and some friends and we had a blast. The bartenders were really sweet and their service was great! The food and drinks were really good too. The atmosphere was nice and cozy. Firefly is by far one of my new favorite bars to go to. I'll definitely be coming back ?“
