“Just moved into the neighborhood and decided to try the nearest restaurant Chez Nous . Soooo glad we did ! Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed one of many dinners to come at this truly unique and charming gem.
Our server Ashley and the bartender, also Ashley ! Provided truly gracious and over the top service.
We started by sharing a delicious Lobster Ravioli followed by a ruly phenomenal Rack of Lamb for me and a majestic Beef Stroganoff that my wife took home with her . We finished with a Mousse Tower that was TO Die For !!! By the way with our meal came complimentary House Baked Bread AND a salad ! Thank you Chez Nous and Ashley and Ashley for the first of many at our new favorite restaurant !“

“10/10! RRH is absolutely incredible! The food is fabulous, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is always super friendly and inviting. My two absolute favorites are the jumbo mozzarella stuffed meatballs and their endless creative variations of quesadillas—both are to die for! The cocktails? Simply amazing! If you're planning any event—a birthday, anniversary, or any celebration—RRH is hands-down the perfect spot. I threw a surprise birthday party there, and the staff made it absolutely unforgettable. The BBQ chicken is the best I’ve ever had! Thank you, RRH, for making everything so special!“

“Yummy food!! Awesome service!“

“My husband and I love this place! Great local spot for solid food, wonderful service, and a good time. Thank you!“

“So we had an amazing DoorDash order from tops the other night. We usually cook but had the flu so needed no contact delivery. Dolmades were not on the online menu as an add on and we wanted to split a salad and add some on. I called and the waitress was happy to manually add them on if I put in a note & charge accordingly. She did it and they were amazingly fresh, best we’ve ever had. I’m big on trying Rueben’s from different places and this is hands down one of the best corned beef Rueben’s ever. My husband got the chicken sandwich with the basil and pesto I forget what it’s called but tried a bite of that and so fresh. I have always liked tops but in the past but I don’t know if they got new cooks or not because this was above average from the food we’ve had in the past and when I’ve ordered takeout in the past there’s been a thing or two missing. Not now. Everything was hot and fresh and the waitress that ordered was so friendly. I know DoorDash can be difficult because the food may not arrive how the restaurant puts it out but we had an amazing driver too!!! This experience will make us go back. When you are used to eating home cooked meals and you are sick and you get a good meal like that and friendly service it makes such a difference. Thank you! I cannot stress how fresh everything was. So important that the food is checked prior to ensure everything is there and that was done.“

“I had my daughter’s baptism celebration at Canalis and I truly want to thank them for going above and beyond for our daughter’s special day. We rented out the banquet room and it was absolutely perfect. The food and service was exceptional. Thank you again Canalis. I highly recommend for any future event.“

“Just had the BEST iced vanilla latte that I have EVER had in my entire life 🧋“

“Great staff. Great food ! Hands down“

“Long time customer of Home Style. Have been to The Ritz a few times since the renovation. Came with the family, including the 4 year old. No reservation, but very accommodating. Nicole was wonderful and tended to our daughter well (which let us enjoy the evening).
Food allergies were an issue with our part, but well addressed and they felt very safe. Drinks, food, and service were excellent. Timing was great and the price was very fitting the quality of the food.

Happy to return.

“I love this restaurant. The food is great! I highly recommend it!“

“My wife and I popped in there for a little date night. I ordered the Cajan chicken sandwich, my wife the bloomin’ onion burger. We also started with some boneless wings.
The waitress and host were both very kind. Our waitress having just the right amount of attentiveness, not bother some, but making sure we had refills if we needed, just when we needed.
Both of our sandwiches were excellent- my wife’s burger was perfectly medium as she ordered, my chicken sandwich was flavorful and had a wonderful crisp too it. Our boneless wings were nice and crispy. I like them that way personally, I know that’s not everyone’s favorite. The also had a nice selection of cocktails which we didn’t try. They have a good selection of beer, bottled and on tap- a nice wine selection and decent prices.
Over all I think that anyone who spent the time to read this should go check it out!!

Vegetarian options: Every burger there can be substituted for beyond burgers, but I’d be lying if I said everything had a substitution l.“

“Stopped in as we just moved into the neighborhood. Great place. Food was great,the staff were very friendly and nice . Great service! We will be back!“

“The wings were perfect! They had a great deal until 3:30 12 wings 2 beers 20 bucks. I asked for my wings medium and garlic parm tossed together, these were some of the best I have had in the area recently. Will definitely be coming back to try the burger deal (also 20 with 2 beers until 3:30).

Parking: They are working on parking but currently street spots or walk over from Price Chopper.“

“Went for the first time and I can say the food was very good! The shrimp and grits had really nice flavor and was a perfect portion size. The place is cute but a bit on the smaller side. The service was good but not great..about average. All in all a good experience here and I live close by so will be going back!“

“This place is described in one word: FANTASTIC!! Love the dogs and meat sauce (wish they would market that sauce) they take care of you here and are very friendly“

Eggs Benedict was cooked very well. Hollandaise sauce was creamy. I added some Sriracha to give a kick! Poached eggs were done wonderfully.

Delicious breakfast with 2 pieces of French toast, eggs over easy, sausag3 and bacon. Coffee and OJ. All in all God quick Diner location.

The restaunt has operated at that location for 13 years but has been in the city of Scotia NY for over 45 years!“

“In the past year, I’ve ordered an appetizer, the flatbread pizza at least 3 times. It’s always been delicious with just a little bite to it. Tonight I ordered it and it was excessively spicy hot. My tongue and lips were on fire! We told our waiter and he said he’s had other complaints this past week about it being very spicy hot. I couldn’t even eat it. My husband switched meals with me. The waiter did ask if I’d like something different but seeing my husband switched it wasn’t necessary. Has this menu item been changed?“

“serving staff was excellent with kids' service. The space allowed for movement, standing. Tables are spread apart. Was comfortable and friendly. Pizza was very good, crispy pan crust.“
