“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.“
“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!!“
“We went there to celebrate a friend's birthday. The food was really delicious. Service very good. Drinks good too. The entertainment of a one man band was magnificent. He was just great. Sang every kind of genre. Very entertaining. Everyone was dancing. The owner also was very friendly and made sure we were satisfied with everything. Will definitely return. He is there on Friday nights“
“It's a fantastic dining spot, especially after a long day of shopping. The food was delicious, drinks were fantastic, and the music created the perfect ambiance. The waiter was polite and provided excellent service, so I'll definitely be returning!“
“Came here for dinner and had a pleasant experience. The restaurant seems to always be packed and there is always a wait. I strongly recommend making a reservation, especially on a Friday or Saturday night. They have a great selection of sandwiches, apps and burgers. They even allow you to create your own burger. The quality is good and the portion sizes are decent. I think an app and entree is enough for one person. I got the atomic burger and it was very tasty. The service was a bit slower (I sat at the bar), but the place was certainly cranking, so that was to be expected, but it wasn't anything I'd really complain about. Staff is very friendly though. I didn't get any milkshakes but they looked good. Overall the place is nice, but quite small. It's in the center of downtown RVC, so there's a lot around it. Would recommend and will be back.“
“food was great and the service i received was amazing. Ian, my server, was very kind and helped us a lot through the ordering process to make sure we get the best quality food and service. food came out quickly and the ramen was amazing! i would 100% recommend“

“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 ?❤️“
“I went to celebrate my birthday with my family and friends and we all couldn't be happier with the food that we order but specially the personalized service. We felt so welcomed and appreciated that even before we were done, we were planning to go back. 1000/10!!!!“
“I am not one to write reviews, but this place deserves top marks all around. Drinks while you wait, terrific service, food that hits the spot, and you do not feel rushed to leave. How many places can you say that about? There is always something new to try, but you can always fall back to a favorite as well. The staff alone is worth the trip alone, Steph knows the menu and gives the best recommendations.“
“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!“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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!“
“Great experience. Came for weekday brunch and ordered the marshmallow pancakes. My friend ordered one of their avocado toasts which was delicious. The marshmallow pancakes were good although I wish there were mini marshmallows throughout rather than just some large ones. Waitress was good at discussing some specials and recommended new items. Service was fast and they were very clean. Highly recommend. Parking lot available in the back. Prices are standard LI diner prices.“
“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“
“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!“
“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!“
“Ok so, this is gonna be long. Ok so I'm a Jamaican and usually stay away from Jamaican restaurants because lately they seem to be cutting corners. I'm a chef and from the old school of real Jamaican cuisine. That being said, the food here has flavor, some dishes are way better than others. The thing I don't like, is the outrageous prices for such small plates. I get it, people gotta make money but when you give your customers a little more, they come back often. Also, the waitress is nice but need training on timing. Bring utensils first and if its a couple, bring both meals together, not bring one plate then 10 minutes later you bring the other.. I like the mature Reggae music played while eating on Friday evening. Oh a live band at 10pm but different genre of music so could be socca , reggae or whatever . I prefer the reggae band. Now after the band finished, the DJ ticked me off. I hate when him cut upp the music after 5 seconds. People were upset about that. Dj could be ok but have no clue how to watch the floor. If see mature people, run the music n stop the cutting up and play the song Dem. Chu man. Me vex and leff. Hellooooooo. adults spend money suh if music nice people wi spend cause Dem dance and sweat. Ok so, i went into details n hopefully the owner reads this and edit as necessary cause my presence can expand your establishment if you listen. Great location , with some adjustments this place could sell aff. I do this for a living, go into businesses, assess whats , great and what needs adjustments and make suggestions. Get it done !! Place can be better and a winner with some twerks Good luck!!?“
“One of, if not the best, restaurants in Far Rockaway. The atmosphere is good. You can enjoy fresh delicious meals in a quite place Monday to Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays a good bar and dancing place with dope ?. The servers are great and the place is always cleaned. It is a modern concept of food. You can have a good fettuccine Alfredo and fresh tacos as well as a home made churros ?“
“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 .“
“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.“
“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!“
“The Tipsy Barrel is a cozy neighborhood bar located in the heart of downtown. The dark wood décor and soft lighting create a warm, welcoming ambiance. The bar features an extensive selection of craft beers on tap, with a rotating selection that highlights local breweries. They also offer a curated list of wines and signature cocktails.“
“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.“
“Went for dinner with friends and the food was delicious. I had the stuffed salmon and my friends had the cacio de pepe and chicken oregenata. The spicy margarita was excellent as well. Sat at the bar for a glass of wine after dinner and the atmosphere was enjoyable. It's a small place and we were there on a weekday so I don't know how busy it gets on the weekends but I'd go back!“
“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.“
“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.“

“The place opens at 1:00 pm every day. We went on a Wednesday for lunch. We did all you can eat (AYCE). I calculated the cost of what we wanted to try and the AYCE. It was cheaper to go with AYCE. It was $25 per person which I found reasonable. They offered fried items and boiled items. We had the fried oysters, shrimp, calamari, soft shell crab, crab ball, flounder, and onion rings. The seafood was on the small side but it was off season so I expected it. The crab ball was dry. The oysters were slightly salty but not too bad. Overall it was good. It was cooked just right and it was crispy. It came out nice and hot and quickly. The wait staff was attentive but not annoying. The decor was cute. I will go back when seafood is in season to see if they are bigger.Parking: Strip Mall ParkingWheelchair accessibility: Very accessible with plenty of maneuvering room.“
“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.“
“Sexy chic vibe, tasty meal. We ordered the cucumber salad (great), ribs app (might skip next time), eel futomaki (highly recommend), salmon reg roll (skip), spicy tuna roll (skip), and the waygu fried rice (good but would try something else next time). Prices are def steep but good quality. Would return for a date night or drinks and light bite.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Let me start by saying this place is a whole mood. We were fortunate enough to be serviced by nova, who was outstanding. We ordered multiple appetizers and cocktails along with our entrées. Let me say in all honesty I have to give a 10 out of 10 as everything we ordered was delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“
“The fine dining experience was VERY good. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. My husband’s food was delicious (beet salad and salmon entree). I ordered the lobster bisque which was delicious. I ordered the doc fish entree which was recommended by our server. Unfortunately, the fish had no taste and the sauce made me nauseous. The kale was not edible at all. It was too chewy. Overall, spending time with my husband, in a very nice venue with a very nice vibe, made the experience well worth it.Parking: There’s ample parking, for free, if you don’t want to pay for valet parking.“
“What a great place I never knew existed. Honestly I didn’t know what to expect. The menu was a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Different flavors that I didn’t expect like the sliders. The cheesesteak sandwich demolishes anything from Philadelphia! Will definitely be back again!“
“Food was delicious. Ordered the steak medium rare, it came with potatoes and grilled onions. Had Mac and cheese and some baked cauliflower which were very tasty. Good for a special night out for a special occasion. Drinks were fabulous, Definitely worth it.“
“Where do I start? There are 3 parts of K. Macho. 1. The location has a private party room for small intimate events 2. There is a large and 1 of a kind built locations for family lunch, dinner or just going out with friends. 3. The entertainment is always super fun later into the weekend evenings. Where the crowd, just dances, and dances. ( and forgot to mention there food isn't bad)“
“I highly recommend this place! Had a great brunch on Easter Sunday with family and friends. They had an Easter bunny for the kids and even organized a mini Easter egg hunt. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. I enjoyed the truffle burger with fries, while my wife loved her salmon with mash. We're definitely coming back soon.“
“this is the first time I'm here. Just happens to be Taco Tuesday $13 for three tacos of any choice all day. Happy hours are from 3 pm -6 pm. Drinks are half-price. the starter except for the AVO wing is only five dollars off. Everything else is half-price.The place is bright and lively. they play music. My server name is Alma. He is very friendly and informative.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Love this place. Very friendly and fun staff. The bartenders make great drinks and create a fun friendly experience. The DJ plays great songs. Keeps you wanting rob move all night. Myself and friends have booked parties in the back room which has a retractable roof. This is a regular go to spot for me!!!“
“Went sat nite with another couple and had wonderful experience . Wish other places would take notice how to provide services and good food ! Table ready at said time of reservation . Nice round table . Offered drink menus etc as we sat down . Waitress was exceptional . As we sat down we were presented with a basket full of fresh baked soft pretzels . Now they give these for free and more if we asked and now I have been to many similar type places that have the GIANT pretzel for 15$ . Really ? We get our own here complimentary . Ordered if I remember correctly two steak sandwiches , 1 chicken burrata , 1 vodka with meatballs and 2 tuna bowls . Steal sandwiches cooked perfectly medium rare as requested (not over cooked and tuff at other places) bread was soft and warm and cut in thirds ( how thoughtful ) . Chicken burrata was a hefty plate of food that my buddy didn't finish but was Deelish . The vodka pasta with meatballs was also excellent the sauce had great consistency not runny or watery and 4 large meatballs most and mouthwatering ! I sampled one bc my kid couldn't finish ! (My finicky nephew would have ) . The women ordered the tuna Bowls they said the tuna was cooked properly but the accompanying stuff that is supposed to make up the bowl was disappointing ( they would get sonething else next time ) Only glitch was we ordered a salad to share as appetizer and it never came and the waitress was truly apologetic . Not the end of world! We were stuffed for dessert but my kid was disappointed they removed the camp fire cook at table s'mores dessert ( she loved it in the past ) . That was made up for with the tremendous offering of pink cotton candy for table complimentary ! Who doesn't like a little cotton candy . So to recap free pretzels , great food offering , great service and free dessert and of course great company equals wonderful evening . Will be back sooner than later !“
“Overall we had a really nice time and the food was good. The waitress we had was fantastic and super attentive and nice. I was a bit disappointed in the wine selection and the fact that they didn't have any wine available on a Friday was odd.“
“I went to Mile on the water for my sister's birthday. The staff was very friendly and personable. The live band played classic Caribbean tunes and the vibe was very relaxed. I will absolutely be revisitingVegetarian options: I had a wonderful seafood soup. The soup was fresh and made to order.“
“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 !“
