“Decided to try this place after seeing the Instagram video. Food is excellent (as promised) and Sandra (host) is wonderful. Rotisserie chicken is cooked to perfection. Wife had the roasted salmon, which was also great. Add some of the delicious sides (crispy brussel sprouts and plantains) and you have yourself a great meal for a reasonable price. Give this new local gem a try. You won’t be disappointed.“

“My favorite is the onion rings. But all their food is good.“

“Awesome service! There was a pre fix menu for Valentines Day, but our waiter accommodated me with a different meal of my choice.“

“Let me tell you I got toSaxawoods at 10:35 pm they close at 11:00pm they asked for a cover charge and I am a regular customer that is really not a good business situation omg they are that hard up. There food is good I do enjoy it but as far as business they are not too Professional“

“The new mussel dish is amazing!!“

“Chat American Grill is one of my go-to restaurants in Scarsdale. I’ve been here many times with family, and everything I’ve tried so far has been consistently good. Their salmon burger is one of my favorites, and the truffle fries are honestly some of the best I’ve had at any restaurant. During brunch, I love getting the crab meat omelet — it comes with greens and oven-roasted potatoes, and it never disappoints.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a nice, slightly upscale feel without being too formal. They also have a great outdoor seating area that’s perfect in the summer. Reservations are definitely recommended, especially during peak times. Parking in the area is usually pretty manageable.

Overall, Chat is a solid choice for good food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I keep going back for a reason.“

The ambiance is chic yet comfortable, and the waiters are exceptionally polite. It’s a 10/10 from me. The food is much tastier than my last visit and I’m completely full. The team here really knows how to take care of their guests.“

“The food is excellent. Best burger in Westchester. And if the pulled poro empanadas are on menu they are a must order. Beer selection is excellent. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is fantastic especially in the bar area with a view of the river and bridge. Overall this is one of the best taverns I have ever been to.“

“Stopped by for dinner with my partner, this place feels like a great hidden gem. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Our server Carlos gave us great recommendations and was mindful of my allergies. My partner and I ordered the Halloumi Salad and a cheeseburger. The service was great, our server Carlos made sure we were comfortable. Will definitely come back to try the other items.“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Sweet Grass tonight. The food was perfection and the service was impeccable. Our first time here, but will not be our last.“

“just ate at the burger shop, great burgers, delicious fries and wonderful service! would definitely eat there again!“

“FANTASTIC. This small but cozy breakfast nook was poppin on Saturday morning! I loved the hustle and bustle. We were sitted fast, greeted fast and the food was hot and just as quick!“

“We were there last week with my family and we all loved it—we definitely plan on going back
Urban Central on Central Ave was welcoming and very clean, and the food tasted fresh and delicious. We actually took a chance on this place about three weeks ago and were very satisfied, so we went back again last week-and it was the same great, welcoming experience.
And trust me, we have three little kids, so that says a lot! ® We'll definitely be back.“

“I've only eaten there once, but I can see myself visiting again. Service was very good, and friendly. The "Alvin" Grilled Chicken Sandwich was tasty, though the Chicken was a bit chewy. The French Fries were very good. The menu looks very ambitious, and I look forward to trying their other offerings. The bathrooms are tiny, but clean! It's a safe bet that you'll get an enjoyable meal at Strawberry Place.“

“It really just doesn't get any better“

“Went to a party there. Felt bad that we had one waitress who had little help, but was really amazing regardless! The food was great! Can’t believe I have never been here! Definitely will be back. Have to try that Bloody Mary!“

“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!“

“I have been to some great places but this is the best place I've been to in New York, hands down. Every single menu item was AMAZING! Farm to table at its best. And the chef is a super friendly great guy and the waiter was awesome. My new go to spot!“

“I did have a bad experience couple times. After not visiting for a bit I gave them another chance. I just want to say thank you for making sure you guys went above and beyond to make my order is correct and that we have no issues moving forward. Thank you and I had to go back again the food is too good lol !“

“Tuck’d Away has the BEST brunch in the area. I never had a more diverse brunch in my life. the entire staff is very attentive and professional. Michael is the best owner in the world I ever met - so fun to be around and cares about the community. Jason is a very fun and friendly bartender and Stephanie and the serving staff always make it feel like you belong. Halloween was so fun and I loved how he had a costume contest- that Mcdonlads Girl is VIP - she won. Oh and tinkerbell was cool too 🤣👍📸“

“great music venue with wide variety of acts.“

“Caitlyn was my server, she is a fantastic and welcoming server. She brought me to my table quickly and sat down with me to help with the menu. She’s warm and approachable and I had a great time. I’ll for sure come back again. Oh and Jess helped with the greeting and food. I even got to meet Richard the manager. Truly love the vibe here. I hope nothing changes.“

“their salads & pizzas are great!“

“Best onion rings in the Hudson Valley! I've eaten here several times now and the food is outstanding. Come hungry because all portions are big. They don't just pile it on though. Every plate comes out very well presented. The lamb burger is my favorite but those fish tacos are a close second.“

“One of my favorite places for dinner. The calamari with Thai chili sauce is amazing. Our waiter Angel is fantastic. All of their food is delicious and fresh. Their desserts are amazing. I understand their brunch is awesome but yet to try that. Plenty of parking. Just a beautiful family run business.“

“Lunch with friends at this local pub which does good food. We had the ribs and burger. We were all satisfied with the dishes.
The service was excellent.
The ambience was typical.

Food 4/5
Service 5/5
Ambiance 4/5“

“We booked tables upstairs for a large party for teenage girls and it was a huge hit. The service was wonderful and attentive and the food was great. Highly recommended and much appreciated.“

“great local spot love it here“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“

“Good food and friendly staff.“

“Wonderful place, warm ,inviting and great food !!! Been a loyal customer for many years !!! Highly recommend!“

“I had so much fun. The music, endless mimosas was awesome, but I will say I was disappointed with the steak and eggs I ordered. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare and it came out medium well. The took it back and a couple of minutes later brought out what appeared to be the same exact steak cooked medium well and the eggs were cold. It’s like they thought I wouldn’t notice??? So, if you like your steak on the rare side DO NOT order the steak and eggs. Order anything else in the menu and you probably won’t be disappointed. Other than the steak, everything else was great!“

“Food was excellent. Everything was fresh and well prepared.“

“First time in the restaurant and dined in. I ordered steak 🥩 but was given a big slab of burger. I was disappointed and told them I didn’t order ground beef I wanted steak. You cannot confuse me with food I’m a foodie I know what I want. I asked them to give me a real piece of meat steak and they did. I wasn’t rude or anything I just didn’t expect to be given that kind lol. If I wanted a burger 🍔 I would’ve ordered burger. It’s obviously not a steak they should change the description of that menu item if that’s the case. Don’t dupe me with something I didn’t ask for and cover it with sauces and mountain of sides. Anyway, they were nice enough to change it the way I asked. I appreciated that. Thank you for your service and kind understanding!“

“Delicious food, inexpensive and comfortable environment!“

“So happy they’re back open. Restaurant has been renovated and they finally take cards now. They have a new chipotle sauce, I didn’t try it but I heard other patrons like it. Always get the Larry style eggs-you won’t regret it. Service is still on point.“

“Our waitress appeared to be in a bad mood, not welcoming at all. The food was awful. My burger bun was hard as a rock, the bacon was hard and cold, my kids' broccoli was swimming in some weird oil like liquid, inedible, the chicken Mac& Cheese bowl tasted warm and seemed microwabable.....and we literally had to send back the wine carafe, it was BITTER!!! Needless to say a waste of money! Sorry, I wouldn't recommend, cute place but that is all.“

“Went to my great nieces birthday and Baptism; Charlotte is 1 year old! Apparently, Wellington Grill is being rented as a special catering event location.
Very clean, lots of windows, 2 large rooms including a full bar on one side. A couple of areas for hors douerves and buffet or sit down dinner.
Food was amazing! You choose the menu!
I'd definitely rent this place for an event, party!“

“Decor probably hasn't changed in 40 years, which is part of its charm. Really good food (try the chicken scarp), and drinks. Prices are as low as you can get. If it's crowded expect a very slow kitchen.“

“the food was very delicious and the stars 🌟 🤩 😋 ✨ 😍 👌“

“Randomly found ourselves in the Barley House while on a weekend get away. The place is beautifully decorated and the design of the bar, lighting, etc was very impressive. We had some house mixed drinks, followed by some cold drafts. The food was served with great timing and was absolutely delicious. The price of wings were a little higher than anywhere else, BUT they were absolutely delicious.“

“Care and concern were the hallmarks of Mariposa starting with responsiveness when I asked Chef questions about the menu offerings even before making the reservation. Very flexible and accommodating with the menu resulting in many more offerings to choose from for those with challenging dietary restrictions. The staff created a special table arrangement for our group given mobility limitations. And then the wait staff consistently demonstrated their light touch at the right moment to meet our needs, answering questions, providing refills and options for consideration. I look forward to dining at Mariposa more regularly and hope that you will also.“

“It’s all about the food and atmosphere, Vela has both! So delicious and a def must try!“
