“The Yard House restaurant is a popular and well regarded American casual dining restaurant chain that's known for offering guests superbly made burgers, pizzas, salads and other delicious dishes. In July of 2025, I brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at the Yard House, specifically the branch located at the Palisades Center at West Nyack, New York and we very much enjoyed our dining experience. The staff warmly greeted us upon arrival and quickly provided us with a very large and comfortable dining table. Our server, Destiny D. was kind, welcoming and unquestionably professional. She did a great job on taking our menu orders, addressing our inquiries and always checked to make sure that we were having a great time. The Yard House is truly fortunate to have Destiny D as a member of their team. In addition to the great service, both my wife and I were in awe of the restaurant's energetic and vivacious atmosphere. We were impressed with its modern and stylish decor, and its display of multiple large television screens which feature live sports events and popular music programming. Guests also have access to a lively sports bar which features a vast collection of beers and cocktails. Last but certainly not least, my wife and I absolutely enjoyed our meal!!! We found our guacamole and chips appetizer tasty and delightful!!! I ordered and loved my burger based entree while my wife ordered and loved her whiskey glazed salmon entree. We found our meals to be perfectly cooked, superbly seasoned and highly delicious!!! All in all, we very much enjoyed our dining experience at the Yard House, and highly recommend for everyone to visit and dine at this great restaurant!!!“

“I love this place! Bartenders are always so nice and inviting! The atmosphere is great and I loveeee their espresso brûlée ! Their new short rib sandwich is also delicious!“

“We had a great experience at this restaurant. I made a reservation and they followed my request exactly. I got a really nice seat and it was a very quiet environment. I had a great view of the Tappan seabridge. The food was very good and the service was very attentive and timely. The drinks were really good too .“

“Fantastic local spot, gets quite busy during peak lunch and dinner/weekends. Nice salads, burgers and wings. Lots of interesting patty choices (elk, bison, etc). Also, one of the best (most diverse, interesting) rotating domestic crafr tap lists in the county. They're always playing great rock, blues & funk.“

“Enjoyable lunch experience“

“I played here for Blank-Fest 2022... great room! Great Staff ...Great Fun!!!“

“Haven't been to Lillys in a few years as I moved up to Putnam County. Went to grab a bite and drinks with some co-workers. Food was great and our waitress (I unfortunately do not remember her name) was a sweetheart! Will absolutely be back soon!“

“The restaurant has a lot of good food and I'm really looking forward to more good food“

“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!“

“Great friendly staff. Panini was awesome“

“There's a good reason you see so many 5 Star reviews - this place is awesome! The food is fresh, menu is creative and the staff are v nice. I promise anyone that goes that it won't be their last visit.“

“The Windsor Bar and Grille is phenomenal. A must if you're in the area!“

“I have been at KEE many times but what truly sets KEE apart is the service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel like honored guests without ever being intrusive. The best place in town for delicious food and drinks!Highly recommended 👌!“

“I went to this location and thought wow the flavor of the food was exotic, a taste I never tried before. This was the first time at this location and the service was amazing, I got to meet this pretty girl named Jazmine; it was packed but I still was able to communicate with her.“

“Sweetest cafe in Irvington, New York. Clean space, service is smooth and quick, food is fresh, and they have an array of pastry options. We tried the honey turkey sandwich, tiramisu, and cappuccino- everything was just right and the portions perfect. You’ll feel at home inside; ideal for breakfast, brunch or for study. Side note that it is Albanian owned and operated, so we already knew it would be good. Can’t wait to be back! ????“

Evan was always there to help from the begining of the planning and right up to the end. even when our orginal date had to be cancelled and eventually rebooked for a year later. The venue. We couldnt of asked for more. Food was fabulous, drinks plentiful and service great. Thank you evan!“

“Literally a week before my son’s bday I found this place on a catering search. Can I just say everything was extremely amazing! From taste to presentation. Customer service was impeccable as well, walking into this place made you feel like you have been there before. The warm smiles and attentiveness given by its employees assured me I was in the right place. My food was delivered to Sky Zone on time and can I just say again 10 out of 10 on everything. Thank you so much everyone at Bareburger.“

“Good food, good view, good ambiance, and civil volume level for social meal.“

“The food is reliably good, maybe not spectacular. The desserts, though, ARE spectacular. The drinks are good, too. The only problem with the service is that the bartender also has to wait tables, so everything slows down. Prices are reasonable for Westchester, and the place has a very relaxed vibe.“

“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.“

“Great food, atmosphere and service!“

“Grazie di tutto! Twice, recently, I dined at I'l Fresco with friends and family members; The words they used to describe Il Fresco were: -Fabulous - dinner was scrumptious -Phenomenal restaurant and staff -Tastiest sauce in the world - delicious hot bread out of the oven. -An Exceptional dining experience. -Amazing homemade tiramisu - wonderful desserts -Best meal ever - better than the meals I had while visiting Sorrento, Italy. From my cousin who went back to Belfast, Northern Ireland: I am keen to get back to visit again and hopefully we can visit the fantastic restaurant again, can't remember the name otherwise it would be getting a 5 star from me. Frank, Henry, Marissimo, and the entire staff always go the extra mile to provide "5" plus Star service. Thank you also - to the wonderful chef and staff behind the scenes. Thanks for everything! Kindest wishes, Colleen“

The decor, the music - all very lively!? The food- lots of flavor - the drinks: on point?? The manager was so kind to come over to say hello and welcome us! Our server was very attentive - the best! We’ll be back ?“

“Freelance While a myriad of restaurants are located in picturesque Piermont, (a lovely Hudson River town) Freelance sets the bar high, so much so that we return again and again. Freelance serves consistently delicious food by a very attentive, hospitable, and warm staff. (Extra special kudos to the truly accommodating, affable, warm and attentive Joe and Omid who elevate the dining experience to something very special.) While Freelance is quite small, the consistently excellent food and service elevate Freelance to our favorite restaurant in all of Piermont and Nyack. Even though Freelance is tiny, the ambiance is uncluttered, pleasant and inviting. Daily specials are offered in addition to the already appealing menu. The appetizers (small plates) include tasty coconut shrimp, Caesar salad, wedge salad and butter lettuce salad. The salads are fresh and perfectly dressed with homemade dressings. (Last night we opted for the special beet salad with pistachios and feta cheese, YUMMY!) The coconut shrimp is also tasty. We have also enjoyed the delicious composed entrees (large plates) including the NY strip steak with fries (outstanding), swordfish, shrimp pesto, salmon and crispy chicken with Brie over spinach. The entrees are perfectly cooked to order, accompanied by a fresh, green, in season vegetable (spinach, green beans or snow peas) and rice or potato. (Last night we opted for the filet mignon with shrimp special which was served with delicious frites and sautéed spinach...YUMMY again.) Each entree is so well executed, with attention to detail, and prepared exactly as requested. The homemade apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the perfect end to an already wonderful meal and the deconstructed sundae with sorbet and ice cream is a culinary winner! With such hospitable service and scrumptious cuisine, Freelance is a cozy spot for an utterly enjoyable evening!“

“The Tapp is the quintessential local bar. The staff are very friendly, the burgers are phenomenal (as is everything else on the menu), and the prices are more than reasonable. If you find yourself in Tarrytown for shopping or seeing a show at The Music Hall, make a stop at The Tapp a part of the experience. Better still, make the trip just to visit The Tapp alone. It really is a great place to hang out with friends, catch a singer, play Tuesday Night Trivia, or have a terrific meal.“

“Valentine's Day is always difficult at a restaurant but it could not have been nicer. From the welcome we received at the front (big smiles, coat check, etc) through dessert and a complimentary rose on leaving, it was a magical evening. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable.“

“Great atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff, definitely would recommend!“

“love this place! food is great! ambiance very hip!“

“Place is cool I go often. Food is usually great. Staff are ok. Some seem a bit stressed or not in the mood to work. My BIGGEST issue is the Maintanence. One the decor should be upgraded but that’s a not a real deal breaker. The mess from previous customers are never cleaned up promptly. Every time I go there is at least two to three tables that need to be cleaned. Also the “clean” tables never look cleaned properly.Now I don’t know if they are understaff but restaurant presentation is VERY important. The maintenance should match the quality of food.“
