“Very cute, quaint, chill spot for all ages. Depends on what you’re looking for. Saw a few mothers on “play dates” or shall I say “Mommy & Me dates,” all very accommodating. If you’re going for a drink or coffee, it’s a great spot. Have several outlets in some of the seating areas, which allows ease for working remotely as well. I just put my headphones to be able to concentrate more. Not a rowdy place at all, as I mentioned super chill. Staff doesn’t bother you and you can stay as long as you want. Had the matcha latte, and it was unsweetened, which I appreciated as it’s more natural and I can sweeten to my own liking. Love the ambiance and decor, would go back! Oh, and I saw they have live music on Friday evenings, would love to check that out.Parking: 1-2 hr lotted and street parking“
“Met up with old friends and chose Off The Brook because we heard nice things and it was centrally located. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. We shared zucchini chip, burrata pizza, goat cheese and beet salad and eggplant meatballs. Everything was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive.“
“It's a very cool spot with tons of character and fun. We went on trivia Wednesday. It felt like a fun neighborhood place where friends always meet. The whole restaurant sang happy birthday to my husband. It's definitely a great , chill place to get yummy comfort food.“
“I had the split ramen and appetizer combo. The ramen was very good and it was very filling. The spicy wings were the best wings I had in a while. The taro bubble tea was also very good. Sarah H was also provided us with amazing service, always making sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend this place!“

“Beautiful Decor & Ambiance ???The Restaurant Is Full Of Light & Colors??Delicious Appetizers ? & Main Dishes ?Definitely Recommended & Coming ?P.s The Aroma ? Of The Sizzling Steak ? Passing By My Table When I am Hungry Is Out Of This World ?❤️“
“The staff were great. They are attentive, friendly and beyond accommodating. The interior is so pretty. The food which to me is the most important part was absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to go back and try more dishes. The drinks were also delicious.“
“The service was great and even though we had just finished having breakfast we stopped by to take a look at the spot and it was great ..drinks were great and even though we were stuffed Dave the manager was great he gave us a hint of their delicious appraiser ribs with pineapple...yummy... I will be back and taste the rest of the menu.“
“Many restaurants could learn a thing or two from Small Batch. Wonderful experience. Not only was the food fresh, inventive and meticulously prepared, but the staff was just lovely. Everyone was warm, not snobby, and went above and beyond to make my sister's birthday brunch enjoyable for my family. The food focuses on spotlighting the local ingredients and isn't overly fancy. My favorites were the hot fried chicken sandwich, the deconstructed eggplant parm appetizer, and the spaghetti with tomato sauce off of the kids menu (could have used a touch of salt but I think they underseasoned on purpose because it's for kids). The only dish that was pretty underwhelming was the shrimp and grits, which was kind of bland. The decor is also so tasteful and I felt transported to a fancy farmhouse somewhere on the coast of Rhode Island or something. I'll definitely be back!“
“We had the espresso martini (no Baileys) We had the bacon wrapped shrimp special appetizer , so good definitely for 1 person. We had the eggplant rigatoni regatti and linguine white clam sauce with shrimp and pancetta both delicious! Cannoli we shared for dessert, yummy !“
“Great food at a small local place with ambiance... if you can get a reservation. They change their menu seasonally... Their wood fired pizza -smoked mozzarella, figs, prosciutto, arugula, pecorino, balsamic is amazing! So is the octopus//lemon & squid ink bean puree..pistachio gremolata..pickled chiles & red onions..celery! They should have cushions available for their metal chairs for those with back issues.“
“My wife and I are gluten intolerant and we don’t eat meat so our diet is annoying to say the least. This place caters to people like us and we enjoyed our lunch here very much. We ate at the restaurant and were very happy with the food and the service.Vegetarian options: Beyond burger with gluten free bun was delicious.“
“Lost At Sea is a cozy restaurant with a charming vibe, making it a good destination for a date. Seated at the bar, we embarked on a culinary journey that exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, warranting a solid five-star rating. The chef's bold approach to cooking resulted in dishes bursting with flavors that left a lasting impression on our palates. The outstanding whitefish dip was noteworthy, a true gem that elevated our dining experience to new heights.However, we hit a snag with the clarified Old Fashioned. Despite its intriguing concept, this cocktail fell short of expectations. Devoid of its quintessential bourbon essence and overwhelmed by excessive sweetness, it failed to capture the timeless allure of an Old Fashioned. The bartender attributed the sweetness to an "illusion in my brain," which perplexed me. It was a disappointing choice that left me nursing a hangover the next day.Despite this minor setback, the staff remained attentive and courteous throughout our visit, contributing to the overall warmth of the experience. GO!“
“I've been to two separate MFC restaurants in Queens and neither of them could compare to this place. The service was pretty fast and very good, with someone who I believe to be the manager/owner even coming around to ask us if we needed anything. In typical MFC fashion, the food was delicious. The soy garlic boneless tenders and spicy wings are out of this world, and the Parmesan truffle fries were good too. The prices for the food aren't even bad either, I can't think of a single thing wrong with this particular chain. The Plainview location is my new spot, and I'll gladly make the 25 mile trek from Queens to eat here rather than at Forest Hills.Sidenote: I believe they're having some sort of anniversary celebration on 3/1/24. If you're reading this before the date passes, definitely check it out.“
“I love this place! From the people to the bartenders Kaleen Joe Ray Denise (sorry if I forgot any of you!) to the owner Chrissy every single one of them are amazing!!! Nothing but good vibes every single time ❤️❤️ highly recommend this place for a night out or to book an event. The BEST local spot to unwind. You will not be disappointed “
“I enjoyed my experience there. Food was good, so was service. The price was right. I understand why they charge for uneaten food, it duscourages people from wasting. My wife and i shared several items without issue. My only issue was being expected to tip on top of the 15% gratuity that is automatically added to the bill. Other than that I'm satisfied. I will go back in foreseeable future. Also the mango martinis was hittin.“
“I came here with my daughter, had one of the best eggs Benedicts ever! Had an amazing waitress and wonderful staff, can't wait to return and try the rest of their menu.I've been to tons of diners, this one left me with a strong impression.“
“My Wife and I hosted our rehearsal dinner at the Library Cafe, Melissa was our coordinator and she was flawless with the planning, she had answers to all of our questions and understood our budget limitations, adapted to our one off requests and ensured us a great time. The day of event, Mike was our guardian angel, as soon as we got to the venue he had set up our welcome sign and all of our accessories that we assigned to some of our bridal party. He was on top of drink requests, music, and food to the point our guests were complimenting how incredible he was. He ran a 3 person show single handedly with no hiccups. The food was delicious and the space was great to fit our large party. We will absolutely be booking with them again for a future event.“
“This was my second time back and it hasn't changed. I don't give stars out easily but try to stay close to the Michelin guide. Which means this would be one, and deservedly correct. We had lunch and they just about steer you to the Prix Fix at $ 21.00 for thee courses. This is old times done Italian up scale. We started off ordering the Cabernet on each table, $ 45.00 and very good, they then brought out a basket of bread and complimentary Brochetta. We ordered the Cesar Salad creamy but very tasty, Followed by Veal with Fontina Cheese, and an ensemble of Fresh crispy Vegetables, all delicious. We ordered espresso, with Italian Cheese Cake and they topped that with complimentary fresh fruit and an after dinner cordial. The service was professional, menu recited from memory poured the wine as needed, didn't ask if we are still working on that, but delivered and took away from the right side. None of that taking your salad fork and putting back on the table. I say this because the place is cozy, the Service great and food delicious, while the prices so fair, with the class of not charging for using a credit card. What a find these days. Wish La Villetta was closer to me, but it is worth the drive.“
“First time there and loved every bit of it.Loved the decor and live music. Our server ( sorry forgot his name ) was incredible. He brought over a tray of champagne for my wife’s birthday and knew I was Alcohol free one glass was Ginger Ale. Very nice touch for me . Food was great and very accommodating. No doubt I’ll be back!Dietary restrictions: Alcohol free options“
“Old school Italian restaurant with classic menu and excellent service. We stopped for late lunch after visiting cemeteries on Good Friday. I had spaghetti with the seafood. It was absolutely delicious and a great value for the amount of seafood inside. My husband's penne a la vodka was great. My daughter enjoyed her shrimp Parmesan. Mozzarella sticks were disappointing, they tasted like frozen. The dessert experience was delightful. We picked a dessert from a tray menu, and I am telling you, that pistachio ricotta cake was out of this world! Not very sweet and so fresh. Overall, five stars. We will be back when in the area.“
“This place has definitely become a fan favorite for my bf & I ! We’ve been coming in every Saturday after work for the past few weeks now & the staff has noticed us as the new Saturday night regulars lolThe food is amazing ? Their French onion soup & baked clams are a must !!We’ve been trying to order different entrees when we come in, so we can find our favorites but it’s so hard when you like one dish already ?We also highly recommend the delicious desserts !!We always enjoy sitting at the bar when we go out to eat & our bartender Austin is great ! He is a skilled bartender that can craft you a perfect cocktail with just the right amount of conversation lolWe’re always greeted warmly by all the staff, it feels like a tight group ??We’ve been meaning to try this place out for sometime now, so we’re happy that we finally did!“
“Absolutely delicious food, drinks and dessert! I had no clue this was only a mile away from me, but now that I know, I can’t wait to go back. Our waitress told us the chef changes the menu often, so I’m eager to see what other incredible things he cooks up!Only negative is the lack of parking, but we parked on the side street!“
“My family and I are frequent customers here. All of the staff are super friendly and personable. They even remember us whenever we walk in. They always attend to our needs and we can be needy at times with a fussy two year old. The food is always delicious and fresh. Atmosphere is perfection for mall dining. Honestly our favorite place to eat at RF Mall. Today they surprised my husband and I with a generous goody bag that was leftover from Valentine's Day. That was very kind of them and they didn't have to. They even put some cookies in there because they remembered we have a son at home. Thank you NM Cafe. We love coming to your restaurant and will always be back!“
“Very nice local spot! This venue offers a local restaurant/bar with great service, parking and food! During the summer months, they have a patio section that's open and absolutely beautiful to dine in. The food was delicious each time we went. Highly recommend their chicken sandwich. They also have many beers on tap with great options for can and bottles beers and cocktails!“
“I really liked the sweet plantains but the churros were super small and came in the pieces but ice cream was large for no reason cause the churros were literally smaller than my fingers , I liked the the empanadas and the street corn a-lot , they’re were also kind enough to send some extra sauce that I asked for , they were super friendly on the phone .“
“They recently remodeled the place and what a big difference in service and functionality. We always go out with our couple friends and are critics of food, atmosphere and service. They hit all of the marks. Drinks were strong, food was just right and the DJ on a Sat night was playing the right tempo and had us dancing by the end of the night. What a fun experience. Highly recommend!!“
“Enjoyed dinner with friends at Bluebird Kitchen. We shared all our dishes, from apps to dessert, and nothing was left uneaten. Our wait staff was attentive and took great care of us. The decor was comfy and pleasing to the eye. I loved all the birds ? and custom wallpaper in the restroom.“
“Ilya's service was amazing and professional from the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant. His warm demeanor and genuine hospitality made our dining experience truly memorable. He effortlessly guided us through the menu, offering insightful recommendations tailored to our preferences. Throughout the meal, Ilya displayed impeccable attention to detail, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our plates were promptly cleared. His professionalism and genuine passion for hospitality truly set him apart. We look forward to returning soon, knowing that Ilya's exceptional service will be a highlight of our dining experience once again!!“
“Very nice looking restaurant and bar. Really great service. We both liked everything we ordered but it didn't blow us away. May sit at the bar next time and try more apps. Small feedback is the LED lighting was a little bright for my taste. Ruined thr ambiance for me.“
“Overall a very nice experience . The service was fantastic, the drinks were served quick. We had the meatballs as an appetizer and they were perfect... very tasty. We both had the chicken parm. It was clearly freshly made and overall a nice meal. The only thing we didn't like is how oily the chicken parm was. The oil took over the taste a bit, but it was still pretty good.“
“Heard good things about this place so we decided to go, glad we did. I got the stuffed baked clams appetizer and a French onion soup both were delicious. For my entree I got the sliced skirt steak, great choice the steak was very good and so were the mashed sweet potatoes that I got with it. My everyone that I was with got something different they said each dish was very good as well, the only person that didn’t like it very much was the pork chops he said they weren’t the greatest . They have a ton of dessert options which is nice as well, the banana foster was amazing.“
“We were a bit skeptical at first since it appeared to be more of a commercial side and we usually prefer authentic Mexican cuisine. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was not only delicious, but also authentic and well-portioned, all at a reasonable price.“
“I had an issue with my room facing the open atrium area and the noise level from the bar extending past quiet hour. The front desk manager, Stephen, immediately addressed my concern and moved me to a room in a more desirable location. I also found the front desk and concierge lounge employees to be very friendly and helpful. My room service attendant, Holly, made sure my order was as specified and she delivered it with a smile!! I really appreciated her kind demeanor. I felt my business mattered to everyone I came in contact with at this Marriott property and would not hesitate staying here again when my travels bring me back to Long Island.“
“Always have the best dinner dates here!! All the staff are lovely. Sam helped us out tonight- so friendly, informative, and made sure my gluten sensitivities were taken care of!! We will always be frequent flyers here. Thanks as always for a wonderful time!!! “
“Stopped in after work on Friday Evening. There was a delightful new Bar Tender Rolland. He is an aspiring comic and had me doubled over with laughter. He isn't experienced but he is eager to please. Once he learns to make a stiffer drink he will rate a 10. But it was happy hour so booze was cheap enough. Looks like he could use the company. So grab a couple of friends and say hello. Only suggestion is women should get a couple free rounds to attract some arm candy.“
“My husband, my one year old son, and I always come here! It's always something special or on a whim. We love the fact we can dine here and have an experience with little to no issues. We love having Juanito as our server! He's kind, professional, friendly and always makes the best drinks. He has really shown his personality with us and we sincerely appreciate that! To my embarrassment , my one year old knocked his food off the table and Juanito understood! As a new mom, things like that have us feeling so apologetic!! But I am appreciative that he was not annoyed and he also shared his experiences. He is always making us feel welcomed and I am so happy to write this review to praise him and his work ethic. Thanks to Nordstrom for hiring a wonderful individual such as Juanito. 5 stars for food, ambiance and of course... the amazing service— always! The staff at the Grill should be very proud and happy to know they have represented themselves so well. I love sharing this recommendation to people. Thanks again and thank you so much to Juanito! Until next time .. Food: Calamari, Salad and Salmon, Halibut Drinks: Next Flight Out and of course the Apple Sangria!“
“This place is always spot on. Service is always with a smile, a place that remembers their regulars, consistent pours, consistently great food. Their HAPPY HOUR is an awesome deal also. The owner is always engaged with his patrons and encourages feedback.Highly recommended!!!“
