We looked for a good dim sum restaurant before going to the Natural History Museum and found one on Google. However, the food was not exceptional, and nothing really stood out. We have had better dim sum in other places. The service was decent, and so was the atmosphere.

The pork chop, cauliflower, and the fried rice noodles are super super super salty. The dim sum items are pretty good! And good thing is that many main dishes come with rice. Service is below expectation. The waitress asked us once throughout the entire dining “how was everything”, but no response to our comment “these two dishes are too salty.”

My partner and I had a very nice experience dining here on Easter, food was great, staff was friendly and the menu had several great options. We ended up ordering a few things off of the dim sum menu and were super full by the end of our meal. Of course I had to get the turnip cakes and they were perfectly soft and delicious. Other dishes I’d recommend are the crab and pork soup dumplings, beef skewers, fried shrimp wontons and beef rice noodle roll (not pictured). I’d absolutely come back to try more of the cocktails, they have a ton of fun, tasty drinks for good prices. 10/10 would definitely recommend

Loved all the dishes and of course the favorite was the shrimp dim sum. It was super hot inside but service and food was good. Will come back again and refer others.

For the first time in my life, I got to try out the lo mein and the shrimp fried rice was clean and not greasy and the pork shrimp and spinach dumplings were divine as well. Tiffany our server was very polite and engaging. I enjoyed the atmosphere me and my girl were seated in a nice corner where we could people watch but yet it felt very private inside, which is a plus

Very busy on Sunday morning and it will take some time for someone to serve you… but the food here is fantastic. I liked the crab guacamole salad so much. The smoked salmon Benedict is also so good.

Extraordinary breakfast. Simple yet perfect. The best latte I’ve had in NY. And Raul’s service was the best. A tad expensive but worth it all the way.
David Iniguez Spinola - 3 weeks ago

One of the best breakfast places over tried so far. The food is amazing and there’s no way to describe how good it is. Everything we got tasted perfect and very well made. The only bad thing is: everything is very expensive in Manhattan, I get it. The food was totally worth the price so it was not a problem. But when it comes to the orange juice that’s where I see there’s something wrong. $12 a glass of orange juice that is not even fresh and squeezed at the moment. I’m very picky when it comes to that and I definitely know when an orange juice is fresh squeezed, but paying $12 for a glass where you can see they pouring it in a cup from a gallon is very disappointing. Many places (most of them) serve artificial orange juice. I get it. But they have a different price for that. All my experience in going out for brunch or breakfast where I ordered orange juice, I never paid that much for an artificial one. So this is the only crazy thing I saw and I experienced. I would definitely go back but not ordering the orange juice again. Overall, everything was perfect and tasty.

I would give the omelette (3.5/5) and pancakes (3/5). The omlette was cooked nicely and had a tasty side of jam and butter, but the omelette itself lacked seasoning. and The avocado's texture was liquidy and lacked seasoning (1.5/5). The french toast was a bit oily and you could feel the taste of the eggs - wasn't very nice (1/5). Food was mostly bland, unfortunately. There may be better orders, but based on my experience, I wouldn't go back.

Have been coming here 10+ years and the wings never disappoint. For wing lovers who want the full breakdown - always super crispy - not dry which is the most important. Great sauce to wing ratio and they’re fresh, never soggy. Dine in is always better than take out (this is a general rule for wings) and they have a large scale of heat levels to choose from. A bit pricey but worth it - the more you buy, the better the deal (ranges from 10-full buckets etc. Otherwise - staff is friendly and the big scale sports games are usually on all the time, if not, there’s music playing. They have wing specials throughout the week and a pretty extensive menu outside of wings as well. You can sit at the bar or at tables, nothing fancy but that’s part of the charm.

From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated so fantastic by everyone who worked there. The host Jill made me feel welcome and special. I was able to watch the Mets and basketball at the same time. The place was totally packed, yet my waitress brought me a taste of an amazing ipa and the best wings in NYC. Stephanie and Chloe never let my beer go empty. Amazing experience in every way. Highly recommended.
Billy Lazer - 2 months ago

Definitely a divey scene, but came in to watch a basketball game and there was a good crowd. Plus, if you are in search of the perfect Buffalo wings, I highly recommend this place. They were crispy without being dry, generously sauced, and great flavor wing sauce. 10/10 would come back for more
Lauren Cover - 2 months ago

I had the driest wing ever. They fried them for too long. I barely taste the skin. It tasted dry almost burnt. It’s sad that you eat it and that they tell you it’s because I picked them as mild. Too dry wings 😩😩

Blondies Sports bar, having been around since 1979, is the most popular establishment on the Upper West Side to watch live sporting events. On Sundays during football season, this place gets jam-packed during lunchtime. Also, aside from watching live sporting events, Blondies is known for their chicken wings, which are awesome!

Ordered to go and the staff were very friendly, caring and accommodating. The paper masala dosa was tasty, not oily plus the varied sauces were fresh (tasty papadam too). Siva recommended dishes for me that were not so spicy and as a pregnant lady, I appreciated this greatly. Definitely will return for seated dining and I can’t wait to try more dishes!
Kimi .. - a week ago

Despite high expectations, my visit to this place was disappointing. I had ordered a masala dosa. Sadly it came with very little filling and an overly oily texture. While I'm willing to give it another try, the initial experience fell short. Service and ambiance were pleasant, but culinary expectations were unmet.

This name doesn't require a review. Whenever you need authentic South Indian cousins, just check in. End your meals with kesari rice

Simple, tasty, satisfying food. Medu Wada - was freshly made. Proper crispy, good quantity (3 wadas), chutneys and sambar was nice Puri Sabji - simple and tasty korma and potato Sabji. Puri was a bit oily, was bhatura basically Kara Masala Dosa - very light and crispy dosa. The sabzi (vegetable potato mix) was very nice Filter coffee and masala chai were on point. A great stop if you are craving good south Indian food.

Very busy, fairly unremarkable bar/restaurant that’s been around for many years. Decent drinks, beer and food. Bartenders not so communicative. Food was okay but not terrific. Three bathrooms, which was nice; no waiting. Asked to pay cash, but by the time I got back from the bathroom a different bartender had already swooped up and charged by credit card. Extra 3%. No big deal, but still…

My husband and I went off the tourist track and visited this bar today! Lovely chilled atmosphere! Server more than helpful and we can watch Liverpool game there on Sunday! Good selection of beers (husband expert level beer taster having had his own bar) had chicken wings and a lovely conversation with a library expert local who I assume is a regular … nice speaking to a New Yorker about all things American and British! We had been looking for a nice local bar and this was definitely one we were pleased to go in!

4/13/24 first time here. Cool bar vibe. Interesting beers on tap. We had the pretzel 'filled with jalapeno cheese' but there was No hint of jalapeno. So it's just cheese filled, good but smaller than we expected. Not like your traditional large hot pretzel. We had the turkey Ruben, which was good. Friendly service. Trendy crowd-

A runner brought a cream ale which was flat, zero head. Our server fixed her eyes on it when she stopped by later. My wife mentioned my beer was flat but we didn’t ask to remove it from bill. A porter later tasted better, but after visiting here a number of times have had much better pours from ale houses who take more pride in how clean their lines are from keg to tap. Onion rings were good. My wife has had way better veggie burgers. The crispy chicken sandwich was underwhelming. Should have stuck with a burger.

Not the first time here and it's a good local neighborhood bar. They have a ton of outdoor seating, in front, on the side and a large curb side shelter as well. Lots of craft beer on tap and full menu. Service was prompt, hostess seated us outside right away and server was right over. They brought a water dish for my dog. I did feel the mozzarella sticks were pretty skinny but I guess those are the times. Overall great place for a brew and food.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this place, and I must say, it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a delightful array of colorful, mouth-watering desserts. The menu was extensive, offering a variety of options from classic pastries to innovative creations, all vegan and Jain friendly. I decided to try the vegan banana bread and macron and it was divine. The banana bread was moist and rich, perfectly balanced by the sweetness. It was clear that high-quality ingredients were used, and the skill and care put into baking it was evident in every bite. Mini brownie was average but I plan to visit this place again.

I grabbed take out. I have been here many times. Chickpea fries are the 💣 bomb. Com. I am trying not to be a fatty so I got that plus a salad. I'm very full. So I think I still over ate but it was delicious

Yesterday, I wanted to give this 2nd Peacefood location a try after visiting the Lower East Side location 2 years ago. The inside of the place was really Nice and the staff were very friendly. For Dinner, I had the Miso Tahini Sprouted Sandwich with Iced Coffee. My 3rd Coffee of the day where I was able to complete 60,000 steps around Manhattan and Brooklyn. Pretty good Cafe vibe for Vegan Lunch and Dinner. Highly recommend.

Very yummy salad and soup! The main entree was nice but the experience was not negative that they deserve anything less than 5 stars. Plan to be back soon!

Delicious food in a relaxing and lovely atmosphere. My server was wonderful but i noticed the other staff was pretty abrasive. Might have just been nothing, worth it regardless.

We had an engagement party in the speakeasy room downstairs. The staff was simply fantastic and they hosted a wonderful party. Katelyn the bartender was quick and efficient and kept everyone happy, Lexi the server helped us get organized pre party and Tony (securiity) kept the room secure from passersby trying to crash. Highly recommend the Gin Mill for a party.

This place is great for watching a game! Our waitress Katie made the experience 10X more fun. She was so sweet and fun to chat with. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! Reasonable prices too. Fun music bumpin' & dive bar vibes. They also changed the TV for the game we wanted. We'll definitely be back next time we have a game to watch.

Reason For Coming: I came to this establishment as a guest at a birthday party. ————————————————————————— Pros : (Space, Options, Decent Seating, Exclusive Private Room) The establishment provides a private room for private events (I paid $80 to intend it; You should ask the actual store owner for more details [I had a party of 12-15), which was nice to see since I would not expect most bars to have such sections within their place. They provided us with food and an open bar (and the open bar was open). They were allowing us to choose which drinks we wanted. The only downside for this is the time limit they set for these events, which was 3 hours. After the 3 hours, they send you back upstairs to enjoy the open music with the rest of the folks there. On the main floor, there are two sections from which to grab drinks—making getting yourself a drink conventional and not a hassle. Regarding the seating arrangement, they have more than a moderate enough seats for people there. Out of all the sports bars I’ve ever been to, this one was the most decent in arrangements. ——————-——————-——————-——————- I wouldn’t mind coming to this bar and grabbing 1-2 drinks on a casual off day but just going there for night outings. I wouldn’t come through, as Afro-beat & Caribbean Music (The one thing that draws me to stay at any establishment for more than one drink was rarely played there.

Our waitress, Katie, took such great care of us to make sure we had an amazing experience! The pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries were a slam dunk at her review!

I have come to this place many times, and the truth is that I love it. The atmosphere is good, the beer is cheap. A while ago they stopped serving my favorite beer (mango kart) but that's no reason to stop going.

One of The Best Thai Restaurant in NYC offers an unforgettable Thai dining experience. the rich flavorful dishes, everything here transports you straight to Thailand. Service is impeccable, with friendly, attentive staff ready to offer recommendations. For an authentic and delightful taste of Thailand, Land Thai is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

We all enjoyed our Friday night takeout dinner from land Thai kitchen. It was as good as expected. We ordered chicken pad Thai, beef pad Thai, flat noodle with chicken, and beef fried rice. We got to choose the spiciness, and it was pretty good. After ordering to-go many times, I learnt that my favorite dishes are shrimps pad thai, beef drunken noodle mild spicy, massaman chicken mild spicy, beef pad see ew noodle, and mixed appetizers.

Came across this place while walking around the UWS, and was very happy to find it. They have a $13.50 lunch special on weekends, which includes a yummy app and a choice of a main dish. Crowd pleaser amongst our group.

Super cheap & delicious food. A bit too sweet for my taste but the ingredients are fresh and presentation is nice. It’s a very small restaurant so don’t expect to have personal space. Waitresses are nice, and will help you get in & out of your table. Great spot for a quick bite or cheap meal.
