“We chose Risotto to celebrate our anniversary, confident the food and service would be top-notch—and it didn’t disappoint! The surprise highlight? A beautifully presented complimentary dessert from the owner that made the evening truly memorable. If only we lived closer—we’d be regulars! Until then, it’s a must-stop every time we’re in town.“

“Excellent pizza. In my opinion, much better than any of the other places around. They use an actual brick oven, wood fired. Pizzas and sauce are well seasoned, fresh ingredients, excellent dough, similar to a wood fired you’d find in the city.“

“How did I ever go without this place! The very best!!!“

“There are many vegetarian-friendly options here. The Himalayan and Indian spice flavors are interesting and engaging, without heat overwhelming the actual flavor of the dishes. The waitstaff is friendly and efficient, and the guitarist who plays Sunday evenings is talented, with calming music.“

“I absolutely love leaving positive reviews, especially when I come across businesses like Susan's. She operates on a whole different level of excellence, and her unwavering commitment to detail and high-quality products surpasses all other establishments. When it comes to bakeries and restaurants, Susan's place puts them to shame in the best way possible. Her team is simply outstanding, and their dedication to providing top-notch customer service was evident throughout my entire visit. The food was nothing short of exquisite – it was incredibly fresh, unbelievably fluffy, and wonderfully delicious. Every bite was a scrumptious delight that left me in awe. In fact, it was so amazing that I can only describe it as "AMAZBALLS"! I have no doubt that Susan's bakery is the best in the state, and I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to pay a visit and savor everything they have to offer. It's an experience you won't want to miss!“

“So happy I decided not to go home and cook. I live close by and wanted to try this restaurant for so long. I finally did it. I had the tortilla soup and the flautas. And of course chips with salsa and guacamole. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and attentive. Ambiance is very nice and the music… I was singing and dancing waiting for my food. Loved it!!“

“The butter was MAGICAL. The eggplant was tasty AF. The lamb special was quite possibly the most tender and flavorful this jaded New Yorker has ever had. The attention to detail and focus put into the environment and the food is palpable. I can’t wait to go back. Wow!“

“If you ever want to impress your friends & family with your good taste, take them here! Ever since they opened, we've continually been returning to this awesome restaurant. Going with friends and/or family who haven't been before, makes the experience even more enjoyable. Straight-away, newcomers are impressed as they review the eclectic menu. We tell them, honestly - we've never had anything on the menu that we didn't LOVE. It was not unusual that, on this week's visit, our party of six couldn't make menu selections 'cause everything sounded so good. No problem, we simply "ordered for the table"! Ready for this - we ordered: 2 orders of Pulled Pork Sliders, 2 orders of Brie Stuffed Pretzels, Asador Corn, Watermelon Salad, 2 orders of Smoked Ribs, Shrimp & Grits, and Chinese Chicken Salad. OH MY, what a Scrumptious Feast! Not a morsel was left over! When the friendly, attentive waiter suggested dessert, some said, "I can't eat another thing!", and "oh, maybe tomorrow". I suggested, perhaps some very delicious iced cappuccinos, or an outrageous dessert drink. Everyone ordered something. I then said to our party, I think we need some accompaniments. My wife and I got the waiter on the side, explained we had a Birthday Gal at the table, and ordered an assorted dessert board for the table. Moments later, the board was presented with a glowing birthday sparkler and a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday". Immediately, the signature Carrot Cake, Mexican Chocolate Covered Churros, Bourbon Glazed Donuts, Cheese Cake, and Vanilla Gelato began to be devoured. Nearby patrons could be heard saying, "We'll have what they're having!" It was another memorable, Great Time at Southern Table. Bravo to the Chef and Staff!“

“I’ve been going for 7 years now, and I’ve never had a bad dinner. I bring my friends and family! I give it 5 stars The staff is always warm and welcoming“

“Excellent everything they sell in this restaurant, my favorites are the empanadas.I recommend it [Original] Excelente todo lo que venden en este restaurante, mis favoritas son las empanadas. Lo recomiendo“

“Great food, service and atmosphere. Service is like the “good old days” and the Portuguese dishes are very traditional, love them. Also love all the beautiful murals throughout the restaurant.“

“This location is my go-to spot for healthy, delicious meals all year round! Their menu is packed with nutritious options that are perfect for any season. During the summer, I love their refreshing coconut and mango bowls topped with fresh fruits, granola, and honey—it's like having a tropical vacation in a bowl!

What really sets this place apart is their versatility. As the weather cools down, I switch to their warm oatmeal bowls, which are just as satisfying and packed with wholesome and seasonal ingredients. Whether you're looking for a light, energizing meal in the summer or a cozy, comforting bowl in the fall and winter, Playa Bowls has got you covered.

They also offer different types of cold brew beverages and latte smoothies. Perfect way to start a busy morning.

Plus, the location couldn't be more convenient. It's near downtown, close to the gym (nothing like their protein smoothies after workout), the movie theater, and Target. The staff is always friendly, sweet and efficient, and the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming.
If you're in White Plains and looking for a healthy, delicious option, Playa Bowls is a must-visit. Highly recommend.“

“Food was good, ready when we arrived, plenty of parking. Easy to find!“

“We were staying at the Tarrytown house estate and decided to visit Goosefeather for dinner, not having any idea about the restaurant other than that it was located on-site. As Chinese-style martial artists, we were pleasantly surprised to see the Cantonese -fusion menu options as we walked in. Unfortunately, we did not have reservations, but we were able to sit at the bar. What an auspicious turn of luck! The bar offers not only the full menu, but the chance to watch professionals at their craft. We were taken care of by Mariana and Sara, who were busy yet still highly attentive. They were very knowledgeable about the menu, and explained everything even before our questions had a habce to leave our lips. We started with some standard drinks (a spicy martini, and one of their mocktails with Ron Zacapa rum added in). Solid pours, balancing the flavors of the drinks with adequate alcohol to keep things fun). Next week ordered the spicy rice cakes and the potstickers. Each was perfectly done. The potstickers were crispy but not burnt, and paired with a just-right spicy Chinese mustard. There were four per serving, which served to whet out appetites while leaving us waiting for more. Next, we got the spicy rice cakes. These were just hot enough to let the tongue know, but the spice built pleasantly. The plate was pretty big, and the two of us had more than one or two helpings each. Finally, we had the Crying Tiger Tuna. The lightly seared and seasoned tuna was paired with avocado salad, pickled gooseberries, and sweet goji berries. Delicious! To cap it off, we switched up our drinks for two of their signature cocktails. Sweet emotion is a pumpkin espresso martini with a smoky bubble of deliciousness in top. Love in an Elevator is a wild rum ride of flavors I'd never think to blend, such as apricot, chocolate, and lemon. Overall, while pricey, the experience, the food, and the atmosphere made it worth it! As a bonus, we were watched over by a really cool portrait of Bruce Lee!“

“The restaurant has a lot of good food and I'm really looking forward to more good food“

“Delicious food. Both the schwarma and schnitzel were tasty and it’s a lovely place to sit and eat. The people are very nice.“

“Great friendly staff. Panini was awesome“

“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!“

“Friendly clean atmosphere. A great place to take our grandkids too“

“This is my new favorite and go-to bakery (and we live half an hour away!) Impeccable croissants. Cakes and treats hard to find anywhere else, especially at this quality. Superb vibes. And the coffee is delicious too! Highly recommend you check it out.“

“Fantastic, good quality gf options! Lovely store front with both amazing gluten free options (scones, cookies, bread, sandwich’s, and other goodies!) and a cafe with coffees, teas, matcha). I always look forward to visiting.“

“Food was delicious. My order was to go and it was nicely packaged and did I say delicious?“

“We come a couple times a year and live about an hour away. It’s worth the trip. The food is fantastic and always fresh and great service. We do like to use the grill.“

“Great quality, great value and Kosher!!!!“

“I had the feta salad here. It comes with mixed greens, croutons, slices of beet and I ask them to add some olive oil. Tastes heavenly! Their falafel sandwich is pretty good and their eggplant sandwich is not bad either. If I have the occasion again I'd love to come back here. It's great to have an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant that's also kosher and dairy. My only complaint is they're closed on Monday!“

“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’m afraid to be too honest about how much I loved my first visit to The Tasty Table for fear that the more of us who share the less chance I’ll get a table…but…it’s great!! I can hardly wait to return! Sunday brunch is fantastic! Busy and absolutely worth the wait! I had their delicious shakshuka and an early grey tea while my friend had the hamburger and a cappuccino. We both loved it!!! We ate outside which was lovely, but inside is even more lovely! The design is farmhouse chic meets French patisserie…a great combo!!! And…the staff was kind and generous!! I really look forward to going back!!“

“We had a lovely birthday dinner for my wife, Miri our server was excellent, attentive, but not overbearing. The food was excellent as well and the wine selection perfectly matched the oysters and the dinners we chose. we have eaten there before, and the quality of staff and food have not lost any ground. An excellent night overall.“

“I went to this location and thought wow the flavor of the food was exotic, a taste I never tried before. This was the first time at this location and the service was amazing, I got to meet this pretty girl named Jazmine; it was packed but I still was able to communicate with her.“

“Absolutely delicious. Will be back!“

“Best restaurant in Westchester!“

“Very fresh, delicious Thai food. The staff is very welcoming, and it’s BYOB. We love their lemongrass shrimp, sambal chicken and any of their veggie dishes. The steamed pork dumplings are a must to start your meal.“

“On behalf of the White Plains Youth Bureau and the entire Scholarship Committee, I want to extend my deepest thanks to both of you and the entire Via Garibaldi staff for your exceptional service, generosity, kindness, and flexibility in hosting our scholarship ceremony.
You created such a welcoming and elegant space for a truly meaningful evening—one that celebrated our incredible youth and their bright futures. Your attention to detail, warmth, and willingness to accommodate our needs made everyone feel at home, and the atmosphere was simply perfect.
We can’t tell you how many compliments we received—not just about the food (which was, of course, outstanding!), but about the spirit of the evening. That’s a direct reflection of your team’s heart and professionalism.
We are so grateful to have partners like you who believe in and support the youth of White Plains. We look forward to working with you again—and given the turnout this year, we may just need to book the larger private room next time!
With heartfelt appreciation,
Friends of the White Plains Youth Bureau Board“
