“My husband and I went here four our 10th anniversary. Our waitress was Hannah and she was super friendly and interactive. Every staff member we came in contact with made us feel welcome and valued. The decor and environment is very appealing and conducive for a relaxing time away from the general hustle and bustle. The drink list is abundant and the food, everything we ate was top notch. They have a list of local farms they partner with to obtain their food. My husband and I were very impressed with the this place and absolutely would go again and will recommend others to experience this diamond in a rough.”

“It was our first time at Henry’s Salt of the Sea tonight and we will definitely be back! The food was amazing, very fresh and flavorful! The martinis were also some of the best I’ve had! We loved the atmosphere inside, don’t be fooled by the outside. And the best yet, was our server Rodrigo! He was top notch and super attentive! He was really friendly & helpful, couldn’t ask for better service! Everything exceeded our expectations!”

Cafe • $
“This place is awesome! I went for the first time earlier this week and it was way better than I expected! I just wanted to sit a check some school emails, but the food here was too tempting. I had the Rose Garden sandwich, which is delicious with the pesto and spinach combination. I also had a double shot latte with oat milk and hazelnut flavor, which was also wonderful. I also highly approve of the chai here! I'm not a high-end coffee person but this place had tasty drinks and snacks to match. And the overall establishment had a cute charm to it, I love the bench seating by the window. Bathrooms were clean and to save best for last, the guys running the place are very sweet. For a first timer who probably took too long, the ones who made the coffee and sandwich were super nice to me. No bad energy here. Overall 10/10 on this little small business gem in the city.”

“We have driven across the country to show our amazing French Bulldogs at the national fair grounds of Allentown. Across the parking lot we were thrilled to find a fantastic farmers market. It is truly full of amazing treats of every kind and every ethnicity. We were incredibly lunch to find FOODS OF THE MEDITERRANEAN yesterday. The owners were in the middle of every part of this place. These two were cooking, talking, selling, serving and best of all for us entertaining.Their ingredients are obviously fresh and everything is prepared daily, fantastic!!!! We had a collection of salads l, they have so many to choose from. We also had moussaka and gyros. So Yummy!!! They gave something for everyone including vegan, vegetarian, halal and everything you can imagine. Also the best Turkish coffee ever. Love the place and love them.”

African • $
“Da Judah's is a local homestyle type of restaurant. The atmosphere is friendly and very casual. The food is a mixture of Kenyan and other Afrocentric styles combined. The greens are freshly made and the spices aren't for the faint of heart. I really like their beef samosas, and the spicy goat dishes along with the fufu, plantains, and the watermelon-passion fruit drink recommended by their chef Tina who I must say has a warm personality and can throwdown in the kitchen. Therefore, if you live or travel through the A-town area and are looking for something uniquely different among the plethora of Spanish restaurants. I would highly recommend stopping by Da Judah's. By all means don't let the outside looks fool you because the food is definitely made with care and passion. I'm definitely putting this place on my list of favorites to eat.”

Chicken • $
“As a chef, I have developed a critical palate for cuisine. Today I tried Krispy Krunchy Chicken, and I must say it was GREAT! It meets my three criteria, it was moist had texture, and flavor. The chicken tenders did not need any sauce for dipping and the fried chicken was flavorful with a crunch. I highly recommend Krspy Krunchy Chicken, you won't be disappointed.”

“Every time I go to Ms. Velvet’s I know I’ll be greeted with wonderful service and delicious coffee. My go to beverage is a latte and I’m yet to taste one I don’t like. It is always a pleasure visiting the employees of Ms. Velvet’s. The owner Carlos is such a kind human who is constantly giving back to the community. I look forward to watching their business expand into the new location and wherever else they may go. If you are looking for good coffee and exceptional service please stop by Ms. Velvets.”

“I have been staying at the Hyatt since it opened several years ago and dining at the Westside Grill on every stay. I frequent this hotel and am more than just a guest, bordering on being a resident due to my frequent travel into the Lehigh Valley. As a Globalist with Hyatt I cannot say enough good about the hotel and the Westside Grill. After having dinner there again this evening and having another outstanding experience I feel compelled to write this review. The dining room management of the Westside Grill is exceptional with Eileen, the Manager, doing an exceptional job. She is a walk around manager very visible in the dining room, greeting customers, and ensuring they are having a great dining experience. This evening I had the pleasure of having Deanna as my server and she did an outstanding job as well. Both Eileen and Deanna are very attentive insuring that the customer is well taken care of and not wanting for anything. I cannot say enough GOOD about this restaurant. It is top shelf, great abidance, exceptionally clean, supported by a full service bar and an exceptional menu and wine list. The Westside Grill has been consistent in service, quality, and presentation of food since I began dining there while staying at the hotel. I strongly recommend the Westside Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an exceptional dining experience. I bring often business associates with me for morning, afternoon, and evening business discussions at the Westside Grill and have never been disappointed. Both the Westside Grill and Hyatt Hotel have a great staff that are always wanting to make your dining experience and stay exceptional and memorable. It makes you want to come back!!! Finally, 5 Stars is not enough, it should be more like 10. Both the service and the meals at the Westside Grill are consistent always providing an exceptional dining experience.”

“We brought my daughter here yesterday for her 10th birthday, her favorite, breakfast for dinner. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left our waitress was absolutely amazeballs. She was kind and funny and took extra care of my daughter, wishing her a happy birthday. Our food came fast and everything was delicious and reasonably priced, we wiped our plates clean. My daughter even left our waitress a thank you note on a napkin because she was so grateful for this woman’s kindness during our visit there, this was all her own idea. A little kindness goes a long way, thank you so much for making my daughter’s day! I wish I could remember our waitress’s name but this pregnancy has made my brain mush and I’ve forgotten it, I apologize, but believe that we will never forget how lovely you treated my daughter and our family.”

Dave’s Reaper Seasoning & Aioli were the perfect bow on the BEST Poke bowl I’ve ever had. I’m not a habitual yelper who leaves food reviews but I had to shout this place out for their amazing menu, fresh ingredients and exceptional customer service. I will be a frequent flyer on the Chopfin express going forward when I’m in the neighborhood!”

“We chose Morgan’s for our son’s rehearsal dinner. I worked with Patty for the planning over the past few months and everything was perfect and as promised. We were able to come in a bit early to decorate the tables to go with the wedding theme. Service was superb, everything at a good pace, did not feel rushed. We had a group of 26 and staff was absolutely amazing. At several times during the evening, our guests thanked us for the beautiful evening. I am so glad our son and future daughter-in-law had a night to remember. If I had to redo the evening, I would not change a thing.”

Great owners who are down to earth and will talk to you, great wine, many different options. whither you would like a glass of wine or try many different ones. we had 4 flights, which we got to try 20 different wines. Also, just so you know, they do have a food menu, which was great, the homemade salsa is out of this world. Sandwiches were good as well. The prices of bottles of wine were very good for a local winery. love the labels and names. We will diffently be back for an afternoon lunch.”

She was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were filled and that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Meadow took the time to recommend some of the restaurant's specialties, which we greatly appreciated, especially since it was our daughter's first visit. Her passion for the menu was evident, and her suggestions did not disappoint!
The ambiance at Anthony’s was perfect for a family outing, and with Meadow’s exceptional service, the evening felt extra special. She engaged with our daughter, making her feel included and valued, which added a personal touch to our dining experience.”

“I so wish that I had asked for names - but this place is phenomenal! We came in last Tuesday and Wednesday for breaks from Dorney. We were in from Virginia. Tuesday we sat at a booth up at the bar and the whole experience totally rocked. I had a family member with a gluten sensitivity and the park had little to offer, so we came to BJs. Service was great, food was fantastic, end to end just a great time. Wednesday we sat out in the dining area and had a different server, and he was incredible. Super attentive, all over everything we needed, top notch all the way - and then… Yall blessed my bourbon loving heart. I glanced across the bar and saw pretty common whisky selections. I ordered a water. It was hot anyway. But then I caught the label of a bottle of Booker’s… the price per pour was so good I asked 3 times to verify. When your bartender told me people don’t often order bourbon like that in there, my next question was “where is the closest liquor store?” Because I knew I’d get lucky. Bingo. Two bottles of Bookers on the shelf at Cedar Crest. ECBP, and a handful of other solid bottles not commonly seen in my state outside allocated drops. So bourbon fans - get you a healthy pour of Booker’s at a killer price at BJs, order the Prime Rib dip sandwich because it’s crazy good, and then go see what’s on the shelf nearby afterwards.”

“We had our wedding rehearsal dinner there and the manager and staff did a wonderful job coordinating it! We arrived a bit early but they got us all seated as soon as we arrived. The man I assume is a manager confirmed all our requests and the staff was extremely punctual getting all of the orders. We had a range of sushi and hibachi and all of our guests loved the food and drinks. Unfortunately we were not all able to sit together as we had hoped, but given we had a massive party of 27 I guess it wasn't possible with the sizes of the tables. I wish they had seated our additional table right next to us instead of adjacent, but we made it work. It was quite loud to be making a toast when the restaurant was full, but we found some quiet time once some other diners finished nearby. The manager thanked us all for coming at the end after asking about our exprience. Overall a great experience and well-managed for our large party.”

“Steak & Chicken Plate for $22 is really good deal, if not the largest portion combo I've ever had. The protein was good but the rice deff needs flavor. I would suggest over some sauces that can be added on but I would also try some different seasonings for your rice. I threw some soy sauce with the rice, good to go. Overall, this was delicious.”

“I have been ordering from Ray's for over twenty years, from way back when they were located on Pennsylvania Ave. The service is always great and the order is always ready on time. Some of my favorites over the years are the cheessteak stromboli, sausage rolls, steak sandwiches and of course the famous pizza! The food is always tasty and freshly made! I plan on ordering from Ray's for many years to come!”

“I have been staying at the Hyatt since it opened several years ago and dining at the Westside Grill on every stay. I frequent this hotel and am more than just a guest, bordering on being a resident due to my frequent travel into the Lehigh Valley. As a Globalist with Hyatt I cannot say enough good about the hotel and the Westside Grill. After having dinner there again this evening and having another outstanding experience I feel compelled to write this review. The dining room management of the Westside Grill is exceptional with Eileen, the Manager, doing an exceptional job. She is a walk around manager very visible in the dining room, greeting customers, and ensuring they are having a great dining experience. This evening I had the pleasure of having Deanna as my server and she did an outstanding job as well. Both Eileen and Deanna are very attentive insuring that the customer is well taken care of and not wanting for anything. I cannot say enough GOOD about this restaurant. It is top shelf, great abidance, exceptionally clean, supported by a full service bar and an exceptional menu and wine list. The Westside Grill has been consistent in service, quality, and presentation of food since I began dining there while staying at the hotel. I strongly recommend the Westside Grill for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an exceptional dining experience. I bring often business associates with me for morning, afternoon, and evening business discussions at the Westside Grill and have never been disappointed. Both the Westside Grill and Hyatt Hotel have a great staff that are always wanting to make your dining experience and stay exceptional and memorable. It makes you want to come back!!! Finally, 5 Stars is not enough, it should be more like 10. Both the service and the meals at the Westside Grill are consistent always providing an exceptional dining experience.”

“We happened across this great food truck at Retriever Brewing Co. I was floored by this place. We had the pulled pork sandwich and pierogies. Holy smoke! The pork was melt in your mouth, with onion straws on top and to die for! Oh my what a delight! The pierogies were huge and meaty full of potato, crispy and salty. These were superb. I’m hunting down this truck down and pulling them over. Excellent food and service.”

“Wow. The bagels here are absolutely incredible. The best! Boiled then baked to perfection as the old world recipe demands.. A bit more expensive than supermarket kind but bigger FAR better and there really is no comparison. We will be buying there again. Five star bagels.”

Chicken • $
“As a chef, I have developed a critical palate for cuisine. Today I tried Krispy Krunchy Chicken, and I must say it was GREAT! It meets my three criteria, it was moist had texture, and flavor. The chicken tenders did not need any sauce for dipping and the fried chicken was flavorful with a crunch. I highly recommend Krspy Krunchy Chicken, you won't be disappointed.”

Only thing upset about, I love there smoothies, when you order them to go, you get about half of what you get while dining in! won't be ordering drinks to go anymore!!!”

“This place is awesome! I went for the first time earlier this week and it was way better than I expected! I just wanted to sit a check some school emails, but the food here was too tempting. I had the Rose Garden sandwich, which is delicious with the pesto and spinach combination. I also had a double shot latte with oat milk and hazelnut flavor, which was also wonderful. I also highly approve of the chai here! I'm not a high-end coffee person but this place had tasty drinks and snacks to match. And the overall establishment had a cute charm to it, I love the bench seating by the window. Bathrooms were clean and to save best for last, the guys running the place are very sweet. For a first timer who probably took too long, the ones who made the coffee and sandwich were super nice to me. No bad energy here. Overall 10/10 on this little small business gem in the city.”

“I like this place but kitchen staff is sloppy. After plating the food you should wipe the plate off before the server picks it up. Presentation was sloppy and greasy. Did I eat it anyway? Yes, was it good? Yes.”

“Will not being going back after my husband and I recent visit. After being seated and waiting more than 15 minutes to be waited on while a waitress walked by us twice ignoring us and two other couples came and were seated near us and were waited on right away, we walked out! No one said a word. Another turn off, there obsessed with vacuuming and sweeping the floor. Yes l like a clean restaurant but not vacuuming or sweeping done by our table while were trying to have a peaceful meal and dust blowing around in the air. Wont be going back.”
“Downstairs had better atmosphere than upstairs. Hadn’t been here for a few years and was pleasantly surprised. We ate off the specials menu and everything was delicious. Would come back again after not being there for a few years”
