“The food was excellent, and the bus staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very warm or inviting, which affected the overall experience. After she brought us the bill, we waited around 10 minutes for our card to be processed while she was doing side work, and eventually another staff member had to run it for us. It just felt a little odd to be left waiting that long when we were ready to pay and leave. Overall, the food was great, but the service could have been more welcoming and attentive.“

“I absolutely love the attention to detail, the care and love of food that these chefs prepare. Love the surprise of not knowing what you get. They work with dietary restrictions.“

“Had breakfast with a friend. I can’t say enough about the quality of the food. I will definitely return.“

“Been eating at Applebee's all over Long Island for over 20 years. Definitely feels nostalgic eating here again, but I never felt compelled to leave a review until now.

Food is always amazing, definitely hits the spot. Late night half-off-apps, but we wanted to try some of their new items.

At the top, their new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos were fantastic! I hope they stay on the menu.

Always wanted to try the O-M-Cheese Burger, and apparently all their burgers are cooked on a flat top. I prefer that vs grill, and the sizzling cheese plate definitely is a nice touch. Delicious!

Boneless wings are always good, a nice dependable standard. Love the Garlic Parm.

My all-time favorite, the Chicken Quesadilla. Still tastes the same as I remember as a teen.

Definitely don't skip this location, was super clean, food was great, and service was stellar. Big shoutout to Alex who exhibited excellent customer service the entire time. Management seems really tight there, will definitely come back.“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“We really enjoyed our meal! Our meals came cooked to order, hot and delicious. The atmosphere was so cool. My son loved all the car theme decor. The service was great, the server was very knowledgeable about the menu choice and helpful. We can't wait to go back!“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“Delicious breakfast, I really enjoyed it.“

“We recently celebrated my daughter Sanaa’s Sweet 16 at Trio, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The space was beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for such a special occasion.

A special thank you to Elsa, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. She was professional, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure every detail was just right. Her guidance and support helped make the planning stress-free, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event.

Our guests had a fantastic time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We are grateful for the outstanding service and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event. Thank you for helping create such beautiful memories for our family! ❤🎉✨“

“The food was great and being tthat it looked like they need more help. The server was great and very friendly“

“Great place for the kids and family. My son had an amazing birthday 🥳 we love this place.“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“Our meal at Chatter's was great! The service was top-notch, thanks to Amanda. The food was served quickly and the presentation was great. Amanda really impressed us with her customer service skills! Chatter's is lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.“

“Fantastic place, friendly staff, magnificent food, plenty of tv’s for sport events.“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

“Great food and Beer selection! Go with the #6 ! And the Darby wings 🤗“

“A small venue but the food was delicious. Tasty grilled cheese sandwiches, good burgers, and they serve many kinds of crepes for desert.“

“Beautiful, fun spot with great food and cocktails!“

“Oh my goodness, my family went to Billie’s for Easter Dinner last night! The food was out of this world. Everything we got was spot on from the appetizers to the dessert! The service was amazing, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg to enjoy a night out. I’m looking forward to going back when the weather is a bit warmer and eating on their back deck. I consider myself a bit of a foodie and this place was top-notch! Definitely give it a try. Oh, and it wasn’t packed like every other establishment town Port!“

“A typical Applebee's , food is always decent and the staff does the best it knows how. This Applebee's seems to be a hangout for a younger crowd . Although it was only 8 pm , one staff member was cleaning and VACUUMING a section while we, and other diners were eating. I find this a little annoying since the air is being polluted with who knows what from that VACUUM! Not a procedure that should be done while people are eating!“

“Chef Chelsea creates beautiful, delicious plates using only the best ingredients. If you miss Pentimento Restaurant you will Love Level Up Kitchen! Get ready for a culinary treat!“

“Great place and atmosphere“

“My boyfriend and I have been frequenting Karver's Grille for the past few years. We have been fortunate enough to get to know two particular servers, Brandon and Alex. They both go out of their way to make sure our dining experience is excellent. From keeping up with my boyfriend's diet coke habit to giving us bread without asking with our french onion soup. These days, it's hard to find a restaurant where servers take the time to get know regulars. We truly appreciate them always providing amazing service.“

“Knicks crowd was great, servers were fantastic.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“Recently celebrated our daughter’s 1st Birthday here. After researching many venues in the area we landed with the Grille. Jenn (the event coordinator) was extremely friendly, professional and informative from the moment I called her to inquire about the space. The venue is a dual space. You have the catering room as well as the bar area where there are pool tables and a dart board. Perfect for our guests in their 20s. The food and staff were amazing. I cannot rave enough about Amy, Jenn, Steve, Ernesto and Sabrina. They were all so helpful and accommodating during our event. Jenn was extremely attentive and made sure we had all our desires fulfilled, up until the morning of the party. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this establishment. Book them! You won’t regret it!“

“Endless shrimp 🦐 🍤 $20 yum 😋“

“I have been coming here for years. Every single time I have gotten nothing but fresh and delish grilled chicken ! The gyros are to die for. The spinach pie is out of this world. The people are so friendly and kind. The place is always so clean. I highly highly highly recommend this place !!!“

“Large portions and great food“

“Monarca is just something special. Chef Jorge and his wife Martha have created the best little neighborhood spot. The food is absolutely amazing… truly the best home cooked food made with so much love, passion and skill. You can taste it in every bite.
And then there’s the people ❤ Lauren is the most amazing bartender, of course her brother Sean, Serafina (my gypsy ❤), Heather, Cynthia, Sam and all the best of the best. They all just make your day or night better. You walk in and you feel like you’re hanging out with friends.
That’s what I love about Monarca. It’s not just the food, it’s the people and the feeling you get when you’re there. It can be your everyday spot, date night, a drink at the bar, dinner with friends or just somewhere you go because you know you’re going to have a good time.
We are so lucky to have this place in the neighborhood. Jorge and Martha, you guys really created something special. ❤
If you haven’t been yet… GO. You’ll understand. 😉“

“I went last night for my anniversary. My husband and I did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Everything was delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back“

“Best go to local spot ! Good food and service !!“
