“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!“

“Delicious food and a great service too!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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“

When you visit Red Crab, please ask to sit in Jennifer’s section…She is an Amazing Hostess! Jennifer…Your kindness, energy and positive spirit made us ALL feel valued & appreciated! Honestly, I feel like Jennifer should get a huge raise! She provided us with excellent customer service, she laughed with us, she danced with us and she made my 2 friend’s Birthday Soooooo Special! YESSSSSSS, I will be returning! 5 Stars! Wonderful Experience! YUMMYYYYY FOOD! Thank You, Red Crab, for making my two friend’s Birthday Unforgettable!!! WOWWW…So Much FUNNNNNNN!!! Red Crab owes me nothing…LOL🤣🎉🥳💕🥰👍🏽😃 (One small suggestion…the music can be turned down slightly. It was a little difficult to talk across the table…)“

“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.“

“Had a great meal. And loved the atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!!“

“5 Stars-Tha Café

Tha Café is a whole vibe. The moment you walk in, it just feels good—comfortable, stylish, and full of positive energy. Whether you’re coming to chill, eat, or catch a vibe, this place sets the tone right every time. It’s got that real West Indian flavor, both in the food and the atmosphere.

The owner is cool and welcoming, makes you feel like you're part of the fam. The bartenders are fast, friendly, and on point—no long waits, no bad attitudes, just good people doing what they do best.

And the food? Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seasoned to perfection, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell it’s made with love. This ain’t no basic menu—every bite delivers. It’s that kind of food you think about the next day.

Tuesdays between 4 PM and 2 AM—that’s when the spot really comes alive. Good music, good people, good energy. And weekends? Always lit. If you know, you know.

Tha Café is definitely a go-to. Comfortable, attractive, welcoming… everything a great restaurant/lounge should be. If you’re in the area and haven’t pulled up yet, you’re missing out.

“Thank you Prime on the Mile for a wonderful evening last night! My husband & I hosted a Christmas dinner party of 17 & everyone was more than satisfied! From the private dining hall, to our menu options (Crab stuffed Salmon, Surf & Turf Prime Burger & Mango Shrimp Skewers), to our wonderful server Danielle, we had a great time. Thank you manager Lee for your attention to our party. Big, big shout out to owner, Bryant Postell for making the plans seamless & easy for us. See you again in a few weeks for EBS & Associates Christmas party!“

“The French onion soup is phenomenal! The instant I tasted the broth I had vivid images of my mom's marinated short ribs. It is a must to try.
I had Wild Mushroom Ravioli which was very light pasta so the taste of the mushrooms came through nicely and the cream sauce that wrapped around the Ravioli was delicate and light. Dessert wow I am lost for words“
