“Delicious and fresh gyro!“

“My son and I spent a couple of nights there this weekend while in town for a concert. The restaurant and bar were fantastic! We didn't get to see the room service robot (so cool!) in action but Patrick was kind enough to give us a thorough demonstration. Thanks again, Patrick!“

“What an amazing, hidden treasure! Excellence in dining, experience, and atmosphere. Perfect from start to finish! Looking for a place to have a great experience… this is it!!!“

“We love going to Foster—at this point, you could say we’re regulars. We typically sit at the bar. We especially love their specials, and I’m still thinking about the elk burger I had last year (please bring it back!).The oysters are always fresh and delicious, and the fried chicken is absolutely amazing. Recently, I’ve been loving the salmon with corn and shishito succotash and blueberry teriyaki. Honestly, everything is consistently fresh and delicious.

John, the bartender, makes excellent cocktails—many with fun names like Silence of the Lambrusco. He puts a lot of care into his craft, from house-infused ingredients to thoughtful presentation. He also always keeps you hydrated with their house water, which I truly appreciate.

Happy hour is a great deal and is available at the bar only, Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00–7:00 pm, and all night on Mondays. We love ordering the wood-fired Margherita pizza and fried chicken wings for $12.36, along with their house margarita at $10.30—delicious and affordable.

When we do get a table, the service is always spot on.

We feel lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in our neighborhood.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch.. Usually have the Fajitas, but opted for the Taco's instead.. Split 16 Chicken Wings with my friend Paulie... Everything was Great.. Our waitress Michele who was very friendly and pleasant, made sure everything we ordered was ok... Thank you Michele...“

“Thank you. Guys for showing great hospitality two Maine boys who came down for work. Your staff was very friendly and hospitable,food was great. Thank you too the Lady and Gentleman who served us and recommended our meals. You made our trip back to Bangor, ME better. Thank you for the dessert.“

“These prices r better in NJ. The lunch is 1099 and you also can take lunch out to go home. The only good thing here is that you can have the lunch time in and just have to wait to pack it up to take it to go home what's a lunch is 1299 here in N.Y. Also the food in NJ was cooked better I had to return the pasta for some new one cooked properly. Cold meat.“

“West End Cafe is always one of the most reliable and delicious dining experiences! The service is always spot-on, the menu is varied, the food prepared perfectly, and attention is paid to special requests. From the outrageous, warm garlic knots served when you sit down, to the pistachio sundae for dessert, and everything in between, West End always gets it right!“

“I had an amazing experience at Applebee’s Grill + Bar, and it was all thanks to Crystal, our waitress. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. She made sure our drinks were always full, checked on us at the perfect times, and gave great menu recommendations.

What really stood out was her positive attitude and genuine care for the customers. Even though the restaurant was busy, she handled everything smoothly and made us feel like a priority. Service like this truly makes the whole dining experience better.

If you visit Applebee’s, I highly recommend asking for Crystal. She’s a fantastic waitress and a great example of what excellent customer service looks like. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I had the tuna and it was absolutely delicious!!“

“A great night out at Chadwick’s. Ali was great! 😊“

Marielle took care of us at the bar and she was so sweet and so helpful. I would absolutely return and highly recommend. Great vibes, the DJ was amazing.“

“I came here for a get together for a friend's graduation.

It's a really nice family-owned restaurant in the area. Would be a decent date spot, especially because of the outdoor seating... call ahead and see if you can bring a board game.

Kimchi burger was amazing and I'd come back just for that!“

“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.“

“First-time visit. Food was delicious and the bartender/server, Peter, was friendly and efficient. Observing other patrons, all seemed to be quite pleased. I’ll be back😊“

“Got a new place for over rice items or gyro items. One word..Delicious. Food was really good. I always have the mix over rice. Also the gyro was very good. Food taste and quantity is really good and enough for a person. Food Cart. So either take away or eat inside your car. Updated prices and menu added.“

“When I say run, don't walk I mean it!!! 10/10 hands down the best wraps in the bronx. If you love oxtails you'll love and enjoy the Katie Wrap full of flavors. Once you take the first bite you wont stop. It comes with rice and pease, oxtail, sweet plantains w oxtail sauce wrapped up and toasted up 😋 thank me later!“

“I have been a customer of Austin’s Ale House for many years, I know them well they know me well. This year I decided to give the excellent and highly favored family cooking team a break and had Austin’s Ale House cater our Christmas Dinner. I went with the ham dinner for 10 to feed 7 people🤣. The ordering was done with ease and so was the pick up. The family did a preliminary tasting...... LOVED .IT and whatever we have left after the “taste test” will have to serve as our Christmas Dinner. Since the taste test was so aggressive we may need to supplement what’s left with a few cheese omelets 🤣. We enjoyed it so much there was much talk about it becoming the new family tradition. THANK YOU AUSTIN’S ALE HOUSE AND MEREY CHRISTMAS........ PS I’m going to need one of those backyard igloos in a day or so. See you then 🎄❤️“

“My family and I went to Veranda restaurant in Bayside yesterday for. Birthday dinner. The restaurant is well located, with street parking and valet service as well. There’s an outdoor patio, that for obvious reason we couldn’t use. The temperatures in NY have been in the single digits lately. The food and the service were on another level! Gregory was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food was finger liking good! I had the pan seared scallops with spinach risotto and OMG. I can’t wait to go back. Everyone was pleased with the their food choices and I highly recommend this place, unfortunately I didn’t take pics of everyone’s food. Only if mine, I hope you find this review useful. Happy dining:)“

“Excellent food and service. A+++++“

“Our first time here. We will be back.
There is valet parking, which in 10 degree weather is a huge plus.
There was a coat check which is another perk.
Then we were seated in the main dining area in a lovely and comfortable table with a cloth tablecloth and napkins, which is a great commodity nowadays in an era where even upscale restaurants have given into.
The service was phenomenal.
Presented with warm fresh rolls along with the menus. A food menu and a drinks menu.
We dined a three course meal which was outstanding. From the starters to desert everything was cooked perfectly, plated and presented like an upscale restaurant should.
The meal, service and atmosphere was worth the price.
See you soon.“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“
