Sugar Loaf Cafe
Sep 8, 2009 by Patricia from NYC
Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Loved the dessert and coffee.
• Nothing.

“Being that I am from Brazil I understand the culture difference of Brasilia, North American. The way the waiters and owner talk, not accent, but use of words is sometimes a direct translation from Portuguese, which does not always work, and may be lost in translation and seem rude to an American. While the Brazilian person might think she is being courteous, she/he might be perceived as rude. My experience was fine, I really liked the coffee and desserts.”

La Focaccia Rest

• Wood-fired oven.

“La Focaccia is Al Pacinos Italian Restaurant destination in West Village. The Restaurant La Focaccia location at a prime people watching corner, the roar of the wood burning brick oven open flame, its modest prices for the quality and amount of food on the plate, this is an excellent value. Delicious Italian food with a wonderful atmosphere. I ate a flavorful grilled Italian sausage from the brick oven not overcooked just right. These well seasoned and juicy, large Salsiccie were split down the middle and spread wide across a shallow puddle of tomato sauce and several Lego sized blocks of polenta. Northern Italian menu highlighted by substantial portions of pasta and oven fired meats and fish. A mixed grill for two, with baby lamb chops Italian sweet sausages and a daily fish. Magnificent! My best place to eat and drink. We have brought friends there and they have also loved it. The best part of the experience, however, goes back to those windows, with their advantageous people watching and the delicious satisfaction of finally being on the inside looking out. La Focaccia is really the best Italian Restaurant destination. Highly recommended!”

Talia's Steakhouse & Bar
Aug 2, 2009 by Enio from Sofia
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Good food, relaxed atmosphere.
• No parking.

“Talia has been one of the few restaurants I frequent often. I like the place, the relaxed atmosphere, and the friendly staff. I even got to know the owner who is there often and is always willing to chat. I like the fact that it is a OU certified place in walking distance. I have ordered both deliveries and stayed in the outdoor part and the restaurant, and I still enjoy their rib-eye steak and their burgers. Not to say this place has some of the best French fries I have ever tried.”

Pig & Whistle Pub Restaurant
Jun 14, 2009 by Irmi from Indianapolis
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Food was tasty.
• Stinky dining room and very sad/poor service.

“A friend recommended this Pub for a great place to stop by when visiting New York City. However, my friends and I had a rather sad experience. First of all, we were seated in the back dining room and every so often, there was a bad smell coming from the bad smelling restrooms, into the dining room. Food was great, with ample portions. But, service was very slow, and this during a time of day when there were more employees than customers in the establishment. There were no refills on water, no checking on us if or when we wanted to order another drink/beer, no checking if we needed anything else, only taking orders and delivering food once. We had to hunt the waitress down to get our check and then again to have her take our payment. Very sad service and smelly experience. Definitely don't recommend.”
