“I've only eaten there once, but I can see myself visiting again. Service was very good, and friendly. The "Alvin" Grilled Chicken Sandwich was tasty, though the Chicken was a bit chewy. The French Fries were very good. The menu looks very ambitious, and I look forward to trying their other offerings. The bathrooms are tiny, but clean! It's a safe bet that you'll get an enjoyable meal at Strawberry Place.“

“We were greeted by the owner who came out to let us know it was going to be a very long wait which was very nice. Once in the place was very warm and inviting. The atmosphere was great. The staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The food....oh my goodness the food was worth the wait. It was delicious and plenty for what you paid for. 10/10 if we find ourselves back out this way would definitely come again!!“

“My boyfriend and I went to this place for dinner. I have to say we had one of the most delicious meals ever. We started with the Tuna Carpaccio and a dozen Oysters on the half shell. The Tuna was beautifully presented and delicious as were the Oysters. We had huge hot popovers served with a honey butter which were mouthwatering. We also tried the Crab Cake which was one of the best I have ever had. The Crab was fresh, and the tarter sauce was very light and didn't over power the Crab, For dinner we decided on the Roasted Chicken with watercress and the Butter Brown Spinach Ravioli. They were both amazing and the presentation was absolutely exquisite down to the garlic shaves on top of the watercress. For dessert my boyfriend had the Chocolate Sorbet and I enjoyed the Toasted Almond Ice cream as well as the fresh baked cookies with milk. I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the meal. The Ice Cream and Sorbet were delicious and the freshly baked warm cookies with milk were scrumptious. Everything was homemade and you can tell how much love goes into the food here. The server we had Mae was friendly, smiling all the time, very attentive and made our time there so nice. A special thank you also to Kerri Casso who is the Service Manager there. I know her from her previous job and Kerri is the reason we tried this place. She checked on us several times and made sure we were happy. Thank you to Mae, Kerri, Sunny and everyone there who made our meal enjoyable. We can't wait to come back!“

“I’m afraid to be too honest about how much I loved my first visit to The Tasty Table for fear that the more of us who share the less chance I’ll get a table…but…it’s great!! I can hardly wait to return! Sunday brunch is fantastic! Busy and absolutely worth the wait! I had their delicious shakshuka and an early grey tea while my friend had the hamburger and a cappuccino. We both loved it!!! We ate outside which was lovely, but inside is even more lovely! The design is farmhouse chic meets French patisserie…a great combo!!! And…the staff was kind and generous!! I really look forward to going back!!“

“Wanted to give a shout out to the restaurant, Freddy’s, in Pleasantville. Went with a couple of girlfriends a few weeks ago and then again with my hubby last week. Both meals were delicious. The appetizers are yummy! Most of all, though, I wanted to remark on the atmosphere. The people in charge are just delightful. Had a chance to meet the owner. He told me he named the restaurant after his grandfather ( forgive, it might have been his father). Either way I thought it was nice. He has a young family and loves what he does. They have been open for two years, but I just found them now. If you haven’t checked them out, you should soon!“

“It really just doesn't get any better“

“Came here for brunch, I really enjoyed the variety that they had on the menu along with the kids Menu. The atmosphere is cozy and clean with excellent service. We had a large group with kids, it was nice that it wasn't too busy and staff didn't seem to mind that the kids were wandering around because they can't sit still. We also stayed for quite a bit of time. The staff was attentive and food was reasonably priced.“

“been going for about 9 year's.. Best wings in town.. goes with the waffle fries 🍟 😋 👍🏽“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Sweet Grass tonight. The food was perfection and the service was impeccable. Our first time here, but will not be our last.“

“We passed on our way from the airport to drop off our daughter at the WPntrain station. Allot of locals and it is apparent customers have been coming for years. They make atuff fresh, so there is a wait. Prices were reasonable, and we definitely got our money's worth. There are some apaces to sit outside under umbrellas, was too hot for that on that day though. Would go again!“

“FANTASTIC. This small but cozy breakfast nook was poppin on Saturday morning! I loved the hustle and bustle. We were sitted fast, greeted fast and the food was hot and just as quick!“

“great music venue with wide variety of acts.“

“As a first-time tourist in United States I was amazed by this place. First of all, Emma is such a cute dog and there were lots of her pictures around! Secondly, the atmosphere gave me a real American experience. And finally the food was delicious - I’ve ordered an onion soup with fish and chips and my friends went for some salads and all of us were very pleased with the choice. Our waiter was a very funny and kind man, unfortunately we’ve only been passing through Westchester but next time I’ll make sure to come here again!“

“We booked tables upstairs for a large party for teenage girls and it was a huge hit. The service was wonderful and attentive and the food was great. Highly recommended and much appreciated.“

“It was delicious, but I should have looked at the menu closer. Everyone else's meal looked amazing, and mine was just normal. Particularly, the French toast with blueberries and Buenos ranchers looked Particularly good, and my friends who ordered them were very happy.“

“this is The best place for Breakfast,Lunch and dinner,7 days a week.owners and stuff, take of you like a family member......I thank You guys to take of me....“

“Our waitress appeared to be in a bad mood, not welcoming at all. The food was awful. My burger bun was hard as a rock, the bacon was hard and cold, my kids' broccoli was swimming in some weird oil like liquid, inedible, the chicken Mac& Cheese bowl tasted warm and seemed microwabable.....and we literally had to send back the wine carafe, it was BITTER!!! Needless to say a waste of money! Sorry, I wouldn't recommend, cute place but that is all.“

“Always a perfect experience. The staff is friendly and professional and pleasant. Food delicious and they go out of their way to make it special. Exactly what one wants in a dining experience. I took my grand daughter for the second time and she loves it too.“

“Food was excellent. Everything was fresh and well prepared.“

“Thirty (30!) of us came to The Cabin for the very first time for a special midday Sunday private gathering, most from from Manhattan or Brooklyn & other parts of NY, but also from NJ< DC, South Carolina and even New Mexico, completely new to this chosen location, and we were stunned by both the quality and quantity of the servings, especially at such a reasonable price.
Five of of 7 at our table who had salmon were knocked out by the huge, yet still perfectly delicious portions, certainly the largest and tastiest I'd ever seen for, again, what was a very modest price. The rice was also unexpectedly zesty, enhanced by cinnamon (?) or some other wonderful herb or spice that we enjoyed but couldn't exactly identify. String beans were good, and we really were also pleased by the warm, seemingly fresh-baked rolls, the zesty caesar salad and our perfectly fine glasses of wine, both pinot noir & chardonnay.

Overall, a terrifically satisfying dining experience, especially at such a bargain rate.“

“Couldn’t have picked a better spot for a Sunday brunch. The menu was surprisingly up to date and pleasantly well laid out with fan fare and casual pub themed food. Quality of food was also top notch and as a bonus they had the NFL games all over the multiple screens. A win all around.“

“Went to my great nieces birthday and Baptism; Charlotte is 1 year old! Apparently, Wellington Grill is being rented as a special catering event location.
Very clean, lots of windows, 2 large rooms including a full bar on one side. A couple of areas for hors douerves and buffet or sit down dinner.
Food was amazing! You choose the menu!
I'd definitely rent this place for an event, party!“

“My church The Star of Bethlehem in Ossining, NY hosted our 135th Church anniversay there yesterday November 15, 2025.. First thank you to the Salazzar Family. The event was set up beautifully, the food was good and the waitstaff were on point and helpful. it was a great great time. Definitely worth this "Gem" in Ossining, NY..WELL DONE TRAVELERS REST, WELL DONE!“

“Feel right at home. A great place for family and friends.“

“We were headed from NJ to Westchester and looking for an early lunch in Nyack. This place IS A FIND!!! We both had the Main Street wrap and it was DELICIOUS. Place is clean (including bathrooms), great service and very reasonable prices. Look forward to coming back over the bridge just to eat there again.“

“Rebecca was an amazing bartender. Very attentive and served with a smile. The manager Raul was also very attentive in making sure we had everything we needed and were taking care of. The food was really good and the ambiance was great. We really look forward to seeing Rebecca again and enjoying what Bar 141 has to offer again.“
