Oscar i truly is a professional waiter . The live music was entertaining and just at the right sound level. Can't wait to go back.“

“Recently hosted my sister’s sprinkle at BlueBird. Absolutely amazing service. The team (Amanda and Blake) were so efficient, from the query email to ensuring the breakdown went smoothly. They were even kind enough to allow us to bring in our own actively and photo stations!“

“Dined here about a couple months ago and enjoyed the delicious food and good service. There's an entrance to the restaurant from the front exterior of the mall (near the parking lot) and another entrance just a few steps inside of the Broadway Mall. Restaurant was very clean, bright, and spacious; has a very good dining atmosphere and décor. Restaurant was quiet when dined here for lunch. Waiter was attentive and courteous. We had the kinya ramen combos with takoyaki and shrimp tempura. The ramen broth was rich and a little creamy, noodles were great, pork was delicious, but the ramen egg had a very strong chemical taste, like it was possibly over-marinated. I love the complimentary prawn chips; it's a wonderful childhood nostalgia snack. Overall, the food was satisfying, delicious, and very filling.“

“Everything was great from start to finish. Food was great. Service was amazing. They were all very kind from the hostess to the servers/bussers. They were all very attentive. Thank you for a great dining experience. Will definitely be back.“

“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!“

“We as a family always enjoyed the food and service at Bareburger in RVC. The staff is nice, sweet and attentive.

Dietary restrictions: My wife is diagnosed with celiac disease and this is one of the very few places we can trust for her to enjoy eating out“

“Delicious food and a great service too!!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“My reservation was made for 10:30 pm on open table. I was running 10 min later so i called the restaurant. They agreed it was fine to continue to come. They rushed me so much that it was impossible to enjoy my meal. Ive been there before and loved it. I was excited to go back. They raced over with eatery, literally running. Then asked immediately if we knew what we wanted bc the kitchen was closing. We got drinks and food and everything tasted good. The staff sat in back at a table talking and having drinks, but when i went to order a second drink they said no and that they already wiped down the bar. It was strange and really rude. I am put off. I would have rather them tell me not to come.“

“tasty drinks, talented staff, beautiful ambiance.“

“Chef Kevin @Theranchhousemineola The Food Was Aboslutely DELICOUS!!! From the Chicken, to The Stuffing, to The Rack Of Lamb, To The Clams Casino! ButterNut Squash Ravioli, Mac And Cheese, There Was Flavor In Every Bite! I am Not Surprised, Because I know Chef Kevin Can Cook!!! We Are Ordering For Christmas As Well! Thank You!!!!“

“taco tuesday specials, delicious lobster soup“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“This was a new experience. I was surprised that the seafood was fresh coming from a plastic bag.
It was great that they separated fried foods (in tray)from the boiled(bag). The corn on the cob was overcooked (mushy).
It's important to know that this is NOT a KID friendly restaurant. Under 4 1/2 ft is half priced. My 6 year old was 2 inches over, he had $70 french fries and some shrimp. The all-you-can-eat price is $59.95 and they automatically add 18% tip, so BEWARE.
Remember to leave the kids at home.
Is good place for adults to meet up all-you-can-eat includes sodas with refills.(beer is available at additional cost)
Hope this helps you with your decision.“

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

“We have been coming to LB Social since Matt took it over years ago. The food is always On Point! The staff are always friendly, work well with one another, attentive Drinks are always good I don’t have 1 bad thing to say except why haven’t you been there yet if not ?“

“Good spot for the family!“

“Excellent food and service. A+++++“

“We had such an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious the staff was so friendly and attentive. It’s now my third time there and can’t wait to go back!“

“I started coming here even if I don't need to go to the mall. The restaurant is just so good and the service is outstanding. Every person working in the restaurant is so kind and professional. I love all their sandwiches, tortilla soup, salads with salmon or chicken, and truffle fries.“

“Yes, there are gluten free items here that are marked on the menu HOWEVER I thankfully had a waitress that basically said that their is airborne flour everywhere and that cross contamination is almost guaranteed for anything baked in the oven with the pizza (for example their baked GF chicken Parm dish). I was so appreciative how clear she was, saying that the gluten free pasta is boiled separately though they still can't guarantee it is celiac-safe. I risked it and got a pasta dish and fortunately didn't get sick. I hope they can find a way to make truly Celiac safe gluten free foods because their GF pasta was phenomenal!“

“The food, service and staff is excellent. This is one of my families favorite restaurant to always go“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“Good food, nice fun ambiance and good Sangria!“

“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“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.“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“

“Excellent customer care and help with planning my event -“

“Definitely Recommend! Different and delish. Not your regular taco place 👍“

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

“I’ve tried both the smash burger and chicken sandwich from Bareburger, and they are absolutely delicious. The fries are great too! What I love most is knowing that their food is real, organic, and healthier compared to the fast food options around here.

Plus, their prices are amazing, especially since so many other places have raised their prices—some are even more expensive than Bareburger, and they aren’t even organic. I don’t trust the other places, and they charge way too much, so Bareburger is my go-to spot.

On top of the great food, the atmosphere is fantastic. The restaurant layout and theme are so unique and inviting—it really adds to the experience. Everything about Bareburger is perfectly amazing, from the service to the food to the prices, all of it is top-tier. I just wish more people knew about this place!

Please consider putting ads in colleges because we need more affordable, healthy, and tasty food options like yours.

Thanks for the great service!"“

“Awesome food - gigantic portions and extremely warm staff. I wasnt aware of this place - it's a hidden restaurant in Island Park / Long Beach Road. Must visit for authentic Italian!“

“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.
