“I attended a surprise party this Saturday evening. The cuisine was preselected, waiter service was excellent, should receive raises. The table arrangement was very poor. The party was downstairs in one of the private rooms. We were 25 people at one very long table, basically the length of the room, which made it difficult for guests to get around the seated persons at the head of the table on either side. Having two tables would have been a better arrangement, but one long table was not conducive for conversation since we were so far from the other end of the table. The food; not many complaints, I really didn’t have a problem. I didn’t have a lot of food, but it was delicious. The dessert, sorry not very good. Those Famous Crepes(palacinkes) sorry not that great. A lot of crepe and not a lot of filling. The dish was served with fruit, unfortunately this fruit was not in season, so the watermelon although it added color to the dish, upon tasting it, left much to be desired. Why not serve fruit that is in season? No offense to my party hosts who selected my menu for the evening, it didn’t lend itself to the 5 Star Reputation of Dubrovnik’s. I would like to make reservations and splurge on a dinner on my own, I have a feeling I would LOVE the experience! Btw, another plus was the parking!“

“Shiraz is still the yet to be discovered and immensely enjoyed in White Plains and the NY suburb Tri-States. . Whether it is for weekday lunch or dinner, a couple sublimed drinks or the Sushi bar, or the more elaborate weekend family eats or gatherings and live “Jazzy JAZX” music , or be it at times a most exquisite private party and surreal ambiance, Shiraz has already become a fine cuisine destination which the patrons take pride In experiencing and regularly returning to great times….great food drink quality ingredients, excellent service, receptive to patrons’ suggestions, and with convenient location in the heart of vibrant white plains, there is no need to travel long to enjoy a most sublimed culinary experience.“

“First time visiting office in this building because of work - by the time I made it downstairs for lunch the cafeteria was already closed so I ended placing an order for take out at this restaurant.First of all, it looks very nice, perfect maybe to go with a group of friends, relatives or co workersEven if the place was empty when I entered, with only one couple at a table (it was after 3:00pm) they kitchen was still open.I ordered a chicken gyro, just because I really wanted to have a sandwich that day ? It came with two sauces and fries - I liked everything except the chicken (maybe the flavor Im not sure what exactly I disliked, just not my type of chicken)Other than that, they fries were really good, the veggies very fresh, the sauces really good too ??I will definitely visit again to try some other dishes and to take pictures of the place :)“

“PCC had our 50th Anniversary Celebration at The Thorn- we had the best time! Tonin and all employees were wonderful, kind, easy to work with and responded quickly and clearly to all questions pertaining to our large event. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming and beautiful! We had the garage door open and it was so nice. Definitely recommend The Thorn for a party or corporate event! You won't be disappointed.“

“We went to Myrna’s for lunch yesterday and the first thing I want to say is that the service was exceptional. Our server explained what the dishes were (if we were not familiar with it), and made great recommendations and suggestions that were not only helpful but also enhanced the flavors of the dishes. He brought out fresh warm pita with yogurt that was tasty and light to start. I ordered the Lebanese meat pies, which he suggested putting some of that yogurt on, and it was delicious. Don’t get me wrong, it was good on its own, but the yogurt nicely complimented the spices in the meat. As an entree I had Myrna’s chicken pita which came with a salad (I remembered to take a photo after taking a few bites) a good size portion and also flavorful and certainly hit the spot. We enjoy our meal as it was healthy, flavorful and pretty much incorporated a little bit of every food group. We will certainly be coming back and trying different items on their menu.“

“We've been coming to Mentor's since they opened and we have yet to be let down. The food is always amazing and the customer service is outstanding! Mentor and his crew really know what they're doing. If you're ever in the mood for food with a Mediterranean twist you've got to give this place a try!!!!“

“Go here immediately. Everything we had was delicious! Classic Mediterranean with a modern twist. Service is delightful and shop is sweet. Byrek (tried both spinach and cheese) are best I’ve ever had. Greek(ish) salad is so good with the figs. Carrot soup also amazing. Very happy to discover this place (its a little hard to find even though it’s next to Trader Joe’s)Kid-friendliness: Came with our baby and breast fed her here (owner said no problem when we asked)“

“What a wonderful first time experience last night was. The sirloin steak, the apps, sides were all perfection. I just moved to the town from the West Village and can honestly say the food is better here. And lastly, look at their wines by the glass: Caymus, Antinori. Shows you how much they care about service and their clients.“

“The food is some of the best in the area; meats are moist (not dry like some kebabs I've had elsewhere). Ample portions. Service pleasant and helpful. Or guests wanted a place for a light bite and there was plenty for them to choose from. We had dinner there but this has become a lovely place to meet for lunch.“

“Perfection! Delicious mediterranean food, great cocktails and fun glassed-in dining area looking over a waterway. highly recommend it. i had a great Caesar salad and tuna tartar with potato chips. Hubby had Garlic shrimp and Swordfish. Delicious.“

“Hashonash is a very special restaurant. From the minute you enter, you feel as if you’re in a luxurious location. The menu is replete with interesting options. The food is exquisite and plentiful. The waitstaff is attentive and always goes the extra yard to ensure a wonderful experience.Vegetarian options: There are choices for vegetarians, and the staff is willing to make adjustments.Dietary restrictions: There are choices for every special diet, and the staff is willing to make adjustments, as necessary.“

“The staff and owner are always so hospitable, the food is always delicious and seasoned perfectly.The restaurant has a Mediterranean, open, airy feel and has a VIEW of the water. The waitress Nicole was especially nice to us when we went. They also serve ice cream, drinks, and deserts. Highly recommend!!! They are also kid friendly.“

“The restaurant was hopping on a Saturday night. It was obvious why-our food was great and our server was very pleasant and fun. The only drawback was the noise level which  was quite loud and difficult to hear the people at our table. Perhaps this was because the restaurant was so full of happy energetic diners. Some kind of acoustic mechanism to absorb the noise would be a great addition!“

“Food was good, service was also good, I like the ambiance and the service was fast! The wine was absolutely delicious, probably the best part. The waiter was really helpful as well! I went there for lunch, so my meal wasn't much to run home about, but the Sauvignon Blanc was great! ( I really liked the wine )and what accompanied the wine were an array of olives, delicious!“

“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“

“We were meeting some friends and stumbled upon Sergio's through a Google search. We're so glad we did.They have a terrific 3 course price fixe menu for $30 and we loved it. In addition, the wines were very reasonably priced.We were so caught up in the moment I forgot to take pictures. ??“

“I love this place!!! Not only is the quality of the food great but the staffing is very friendly and always give great service! I wish I could give more stars. If you have not yet tried this place I promise you, you won’t regret. Peace and love!“

“Came back a week later to bring my husband he was super impressed. He's a hard one to please as he is really picky about his chicken parm, but he did LOVE it! I already was blown away by the food, and we haven't even had dessert yet. Ready to come back for more!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Modern on the Rails for my daughter’s bridal shower brunch. I had great feedback on the venue and the delicious food. The staff was attentive and so helpful, my guest’s drinks as well as the buffet selections were constantly filled. The atmosphere is unique and so pretty with exposed brick and beautiful chandeliers. I. borrowed their cart to do a bouquet bar that turned out to be a hit with everyone. The shower was everything the bride to be had hoped for. Thank you to Lori, John, Julianna and Kevin for making this an stress-free, perfect day for us.“

“Attractive Moraccan restaurant. Food interesting and well-prepared. Attractive, tasty "Argana Flavors" appetizer. Servers were well-meaning but somewhat disorganized (for instance, they took our drink and food orders on their tablets but the drink order never made it to, or was ignored by the owner who doubled as the bartender; I had to tell him we'd placed our drink orders as he was walking around the tables, he then asked me what we wanted. As I said, disorganized.) I'll still return for dinner, though.“

“Love the beehive. Came here for brunch with my mom and fiance. Luckily we got in without a reservation because they usually are very busy. All their food is awesome and different but I especially love their omelets and French toast. They make a fresh toast crusted in corn flakes. SO GOOD!!! This time we tried the basket of assorted bakes good. Omg so good idk why we never tired before!“

“This place is amazing! Ignacio and Miguel were wonderful hosts and super gracious. Old school hospitality with a smile.????Food was excellent - try the scallops and the Sea Bass -Yum! Finished off with a great dessert - Flan with chocolate sorbet and a great cappuccino! Great music selection as well - they pumped Gnarls Barkley - Crazy! Called up some friends from Nyack who loved the place as well!“

“New adress: 16 memorial hwy, New Rochelle 10801 New York It continues to serve in its new place after covit 19. a larger and more spacious space. There is also a bar and outdoor seating. The same tastes and friendly services are waiting for its new customers at its new address.“

“Chef Anthony Gonҫalves has done it again! Every single time I dine at Kanopi I am delightfully surprised by his creative, original and delectable dishes that pay tribute to Portugal. Add to that a wait staff second to none in terms of knowledge, generosity and personality, and breathtaking, sweeping views from over 40 floors high in the sky, and you can clearly see why this is my favorite tasting menu in all of Westchester. I’ve had a more pleasurable dining experience at Kanopi than at some of the many Michelin rated restaurants I’ve visited in the New York City.The last time I visited was in the summer so I was excited to sample the entirely new menu. I will admit that with my carb restricted diet, I am a sucker for good bread service that is worth the carb macros. We started with two types of broa, a kind of Portuguese corn bread that had fantastic density and flavor that really handled the bold flavor of the solar almeidnha olive oil. The purple broa was made with purple potatoes. It was beautiful in color and lighter in flavor. Both were grilled and the perfect warm greeting to start a fabulous meal.The pan seared scallop with citrus-quince marmalade and mondega piri piri oil was the perfect texture, soft and succulent, with a nice crisp on the outside from the caramelized marmalade. The piri piri oil is such a fantastic addition to the dish, being a touch spicy, a little salty, but also both sweet and sour. It really brings a nice complexity to a dish that could’ve easily been relegated to the single note of sweetness from the marmalade.The sea bass, marinated in an aguardente, soy, ginger and garlic marinade, was my date’s favorite dish. The fish was firm but flaked easily and really served the marinade well. The game changer, however, was the pureed fava beans with chourico! The chourico brought the spice to really liven up the dish, but was tempered by the earthiness of the fava bean puree, which added a very nice creamy, mouth feel juxtaposed against the texture of the fish.My favorite of the night (by the way, very hard to decide on a favorite), was the grilled octopus. It was cooked to the perfect consistency. The gorgeous burnt-orange colored romesco sauce brought a rich, peppery smokiness. The unexpected pairing with dried, crispy pata negra was genius. The salt and light fat, similar to an impeccably crisped high-end bacon, gave the dish even more interest and intricacy.The whole wheat creste di gallo pork and wild mushroom ragout was another surprise. Cooked in pork fat, without any pork in the dish, the pasta was surprisingly light for a ragout. The robust aroma and dense mushrooms gave the illusion of a hearty, heavy food but it wasn’t at all! Which is good, because there was still a beef dish and three more desserts to go!I’ll skip to my two favorite desserts. One of the most unique combinations I’ve had for dessert was the queijo, a mini seia cheese cake floating in bath of pretty pink pineapple foam with chunks of pink pineapple and pecans hidden in the foam. It could have easily been too sweet, but the pineapple had a touch of tartness, and the richness of the cheese plus the nutty flavor of the pecans cut the sweetness, and made a really lovely multifaceted dessert. My favorite treat however, has to be the bolo de bolacha. This is the stuff dreams are made of. Fantastically rich and sweet, the caramel colored almond cream was fashioned into the shape of golden oreo cookie (it was even imprinted and ridged with a design similar to an oreo cookie). I had to stop myself from licking the plate to get every last molecule of deliciousness! It was paired with delta cafes coffee ice cream and cookies.Clearly, I could go on and on about this phenomenal dining experience, but seeing how lengthy this is already I’ll stop here and suffice it to say this spot has one of my highest recommendations. I’ll be counting down the days until my next visit.“

“This is the sister restaurant to Cafe Alaia, just up the street. Vincenzo Alaia keep a close watch on both venues and sees to it that they adhere to the same high standards. The food here is superb (there's a new chef from Italy who is even better than his predecessor) and though the wait staff (in the absence of the wonderful Cesar) is a bit green and easily overwhelmed, it's still a very satisfying place to spend an evening. Great food, a little overpriced, in a warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“Good place located across the street from Iona. I tried it for a late lunch. Food was excellent and service was very good. Nice atmosphere with an "upscale diner" type feel - classy but not overdone. Prices were fair and food was much better than diner style. Parking in back of restaurant was a plus. I definitely will be going back !“

“This is the third time we take our food at Fez. Before this we tried meze sampler, baba gannoush and chicken wrap. The food here is very tasty and the portions are quite big. A few days ago we also went to the store itself, there are a lot of interesting products and a great selection of oriental sweets. I am definitely happy with this find and we will go back there more than once. I also absolutely recommend a visit.“
