“Our favorite tapas place. This evening we had the short rib bruschetta, the meat melts in your mouth. The truffle fries are amazing as always. The funghi pizza was delicious! Our server Eddie was attentive without being overbearing. A+ as always.”
“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.”
“We love to come to Capital Grille for the tuna. The chef always makes it to perfection. We enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigot so much that we had a second round...perfect for a hot June evening! For the first time we had the greens salad but with the lime (or lemon?) vinaigrette dressing. For some reason that dressing was too spicy for both of our tastes, but we had already poured it on the salad so we ate it. Next time we will know to order a different dressing. Thank you for another great dining experience!”

“Love!! Will definitely come back. Food was great. I got the steak and eggs that came with truffle fries. Portion size was perfect. I also got the mimosa flight which was worth it! Loved the vibe and the staff was friendly. Only note was that I asked for my steak medium and it was definitely on the well side, but it was still tasty.”
“Ambiance - decent; comfortable
Service - excellent
Food:
- swordfish tacos - fish was bit dry and hard and topping needs some more finessing
- fries - delish; hot, good potatoes; perfectly fried
- house wine - the Chard/rose* was pretty good
.... go try this restaurant”

“After ordering the stores internet went down and I didn’t have cash to pay. We tried doing an online order so I could pay for my food but that didn’t work either. I guess their internet was down. To my surprise, The worker was kind enough to give me the food without charge!! I’ve ordered food from here before, which is excellent and will continue to do so because of their generous hospitality. I will also pay it forward next time I’m at this restaurant!”
“An incredible early dinner tonight at Taku in Garden City 🍣✨
We started with a delicate Shrimp Wonton Soup 🍲 — light, clean, and incredibly comforting. Then came the Mexican Roll 🌮🍣, perfectly balanced with fresh tuna and avocado.
The Spicy Salmon Tartare 🔥🥑 was beautifully presented and served with crunchy spicy wasabi crackers that added the perfect texture and kick. And the Spicy Crunchy Rock Shrimp 🍤🔥 were absolutely addictive — crispy, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating.
Every dish was fresh, creative, and beautifully plated. Even the details — like the elegant soup spoon — made the experience feel special.
Taku continues to be one of the gems of Garden City. Highly recommend. 🙌🍣✨”
“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.”

“It was wonderful to sit and talk with my company without having to raise my voice. They layout of the restaurant is great, warm and relaxing. Service and pace was on point. The menu has many options for all. My only reason not to give the experience a full 5⭐️is because the food was very good but not amazing.”
“Il Gufo is my new favorite GC restaurant, their menu is a breath of fresh air. Unlike many Italian restaurants that are stuck in an Italian food time warp their menu is an update of delicious Italian delicacies. Their choices are like eating in a restaurant in Italy. There is nothing I don’t like that I have ordered at Il Gufo. Service is wonderful I never feel rushed and love how they remove dirty dishes quickly. FYI great place for desserts and a cup of espresso.”

“We went out with a group of colleagues after work yesterday for drinks and dinner at a restaurant with a vibrant Cuban-inspired atmosphere. The setting was warm and inviting, making it a great place to unwind.
While the cocktails were a bit on the weaker side, the food truly stood out. Each of us ordered something different, and every entrée was both flavorful and beautifully presented. The desserts were equally impressive—absolutely worth indulging in.
Oscar, our main server, provided outstanding service. He was attentive, professional, and ensured everything flowed seamlessly throughout the evening.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend this spot.”
“The sour dough bread was the best I have ever tasted. It was so good even plain with nothing on it. Fluffy and full of flavor. We will definitely be making it a regular weekly order for our family. Just excellent!”
“i was here today! on sunday was my first time here and i had no idea how the menu worked or what you guys sold. the girl with the big brown eyes karla was EXTREMELY helpful she was super nice explained how the specialty burgers came with fries and made my experience so nice. i definitely will be back i got the hawaiian it was SO GOOD ! please come here”
“Mesita hosted my wedding yesterday. The staff were incredibly helpful from start to finish. And the food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! 10/10 recommend!”

“All I can say is the food is mediocre at best the cafe is way to crowded and the drinks are way to overhyped
Now on to the people
Their is only two people I think deserved a raise or to be promoted
First is the older black women on espresso bar she was so sweet and kind and she listened to me when I had concerns about my order and I love how she sings my name when calling it instead of yelling at me like a catholic school
Next is the red head woman with the tattoo on her arm I had such a big order and she was efficient and read everything back and I have to tell you she made me comfortable when ringing up my order she was so sweet and kind and she even wrote a note on my bag with all of the food items inside
It reads “to the kind woman with all the amazing vibes and amazing stones necklaces just want to say I love your energy and vibes and it was a pleasure to ring you up and serve you today I hope you have a better day and get home safe and be safe and enjoy your food and drinks stay beautiful inside and out” that right there made my day which was horrible and it was raining so it made my rainy day so much better she even asked if I had any allergies because one of the drinks came with cinnamon what a gem she need to be promoted so idk who you are mystery girl but keep being amazing yourself
Then after her the girl from the espresso bar was kind and amazing and I loved her service
My visit was such a joy I was so blessed
Thanks Starbucks stay amazing I be back ❤️🥰”
“Crackers is a spot often overlooked as it is on the entrance road to the Roosevelt Field Mall in an office building's first floor. While this coffee shop offers no table service, the cafeteria style ordering gives you a chance to see all the day's offerings and to peruse their menu board. They make great soups, salads, and sandwiches as well as daily hot lunch specials. Often, I would take home lunch for dinner, especially their Swedish Meatballs and Egg Noodles, Sausage and Peppers, and Chicken Francese. The office favorite is their BLT. A nice bonus if you dine in is their dining room. Decorated in rattan and light colors, it feels like the place belongs far south of Long Island. It is a great spot to meet a friend for lunch and catch up on cable News 12. They draw a business crowd, but the line moves so you can enjoy your lunch.”
“GC Bistro is hands down one of the best spots around Garden City/Mineola for fresh, consistently great food. When our office used to be in Mineola, we ordered from GC Bistro several times a week and the quality was always excellent. The Steak Supreme Wrap alone is worth the visit.
When our office moved further out on Long Island, we thought our GC Bistro days were over and we were genuinely disappointed. After months of talking about how much we missed it, one of our coworkers emailed the owners to ask if there was any chance they could deliver to our new location.
To our surprise, they actually called us back and said they would be happy to accommodate us. That kind of customer service is rare these days.
The food is always fresh, the portions are great, and the owners are genuinely kind people who care about their customers.
Safe to say, we're GC Bistro lifers!
**Honorable Mention - Surf n' Turf wrap & MexiCali Supreme**”
“Excellent little coffee bar! Super friendly customer service. All of our coffees were fresh & delicious, and crafted with care. Chocolate chip cookie tasted homemade. One of the best coffee bars I have ever been to. Super highly recommended. Shout out to Josh & the staff who waited on us and did an amazing job fulfilling our order!”
“Auntie Anne’s never disappoints! The pretzels are always fresh, soft, and perfectly salted. The store is clean, and the smell alone makes you want to stop by. The staff was friendly and quick, even during a busy time. Definitely my go-to spot when I’m craving a warm, delicious snack!”
“Great Restaurant. Entire staff is very friendly and offers great service. The food was amazing. Oh ya, when you go have the molten cake with gelato and don’t forget the espresso martini. Yummmmm!”
“Everything this at seven street gourmet deli is amazing and the food is delicious the staff is so friendly and welcoming”
“what a nice place. went here for lunch with the family. great food, wonderful service, pet friendly. we ate outside under a shade. ribs were delicious, pulled pork, salad, and brisket. definitely a recommendation. can't wait to go again.”
“Really enjoyed the food here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out hot. The noodles had great wok flavor, and the seafood dish was especially good. Portions were generous too. Would definitely come back!”
“The cosmetics department has the most helpful and knowledgeable staff. Excellent range of products too.”
“Totally worth the trip I djayed there and even though it wasn’t my party they were warm and welcoming they made sure I ate and my palate was right…good staff and great place”

“I’ve been going to this restaurant for over 15 years. While I understand that food cost have gone up, putting a mandatory 18% tip on the check is not appreciated. I’m getting up numerous times to get my food, the wait staff brigs water and tea. I feel a 15% tip is more then enough.”

“I finally came in here for my morning coffee… & just enjoyed the BEST Pumpkin Spice Latte I have ever had!🎃 Delicious! Significantly better than Starbucks (which I’ve always loved). Very nicely-designed place. Feels good in here. Except for being crowded & a bit loud inside- but that’s what happens when your place is good…!😁 See u tmrw, your neighbor across the street 🇮🇹😘”

“I recently bought the Earl Grey Tea and Berry Cornbread at my local Kroger store and was blown away! The richness and the flavor profiles were out of this world, especially the latter flavor of the two. It’s dangerous to know the Kroger store is only five minutes from my house. I’ll definitely be trying other flavors.”

“Tatte’s Bakery & Cafe is such a cute spot with a really inviting atmosphere. There’s decent seating for a cafe, which makes it a great place to sit, relax, or catch up with friends. The pastries are fresh and delicious which is definitely a highlight!
That said, I was a little surprised by the limited dessert selection, especially for a bakery. I expected a bit more variety. It’s also on the pricier side, so it feels more like an occasional treat rather than an everyday stop.
Overall, a lovely place with great vibes and tasty pastries. Just wish there were more dessert options to choose from!”
“Always is a great experience, food is delicious and everything so fresh, this time we came to a different location Garden City, and we find a friendly smiling very kindly lady who complement us with a delicious vegetarian chocolate chip cookies (I think she's the owner) who we saw before in New Hyde Park location, we recommend it 💯%”
“[*EDIT* Credit where credit is due -- the day after leaving this review, the bakery dropped off the missing order item with an apology note. I sincerely appreciate the effort to fix the mistake and have updated my rating accordingly].
Ordered delivery to surprise my significant other; found out later they did not include part of the order. I called the store and they took zero ownership -- the person on the phone told me my only option was to go through their third party delivery site for a refund since that's what I ordered on (ironic as I placed my order through the bakery's website -- they are the ones who choose to automatically contract my order out through this delivery service).
Sorry to say won't be going again -- a shame as my SO is gluten free and we love finding good GF options.”
“I have been coming to Gregory's at Roosevelt Field Mall almost 5 days a week. I can't rave about the staff enough!! they are absolutely an amazing team. I work in the mall so I have quite a few different places that I can choose from to go get my fairly simple iced Americano. however I always choose Gregory's because of the staff. ( Not going to lie the beans really are the best also) I am a manager at one of the stores in the mall All of the team know my name and my drink is always me perfectly. I even recommend my customers to stop by if they are looking for great service and great coffee.
Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Aimee--AKA Large Iced Americano extra ice 😎”
“As a foodie who is also familiar with the Bayside and Flushing areas in Queens, this is the best smoothie/bubble spot on Long Island. They also have a location at the outdoor Tanger Outlet in Deer Park. Innovative ordering system, friendly staff and fruit is always fresh!”
“It isn't a full sit-down restaurant but that's about the only knock on it. You have to put up with hanging out in the food court at the mall where it's over packed and loud. This hurts the atmosphere. Overall, though, great food. Everything tasted great and I appreciate that you can sit right on the side and watch them cook. It was an insanely clean grill and their drawers of ingredients seemed so well organized and clean. Gordon Ramsay would've been proud.”
“I wish that I can tell you the truth. I’ve ate this 1 million times, I stopped painting my wings with sauce, even if I’m trapped in a long line. eating fries in front of those guys. I ran towards the front of that line. I heard that noise but missed dinner time. But that clock on the wall it’s stuck nine. When the wings were cooked just really divine and I thought it was golden, only when the ashes fell on the plate in my hands did i, know oh oh. There will be a fire if the wings get cold, I should buried this plate along with all I know, but I couldn’t eat it. I couldn’t handle that spice. Stuck in endings that arent so nice. So onto a bursting wave of painful nights. But I fought those guys I ate my fries. Till the hot sauce all dried. I splashed buffalo sauce in the sky. Eating fries and front of those guys. I still remember the way that the server called out my name. Hold the seat out and embrace the clouds never seem to fade away away away away ay ay. Pouring sauce all on my fries. No matter how hard I looked for a place in town. I never could find the wing sauce on the ground. To the point where I got sick of just waiting and I found you guys and I ate the sauce with fries fries-iesss. Theyll be a fire when it burns my mouth. I should go and visit all in town, but I couldn’t eat it. I couldn’t handle that spice. Stuck in endings that aren’t so nice so I want to a bursting wave of sleepless nights, but I fought those guys. I ate my friessss. Till the sauce all dried. I splashed buffalo sauce in the sky, standing still in front of those guys. But the clock tower bell only struck nine. I ate every one of those fries. I even kind of fought with those guys if I heard the server I’ll be all right. Are you with me till the dinner at nine? Are you with me till the dinner all right are you with me till the dinner all rightttt. Are you with me?”
“A little surprised because I never had amazing service from dining out in a LONG time, I think Covid changed how people acted, however Dennie ( i think that was her name) was the best server I had in years. THANK YOU Seasons 52!!!”
