Shaffer Cy Oyster Bar & Grill
Oct 10, 2009 by Lee from Phoenix

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great food, service, atmosphere.
• Loose toilet seat in the restroom showed poor concern for ladies.

“Shaffer City Oyster B&G is one of those perfect date or meeting restaurants. It's quiet, with excellent food and service. Most nights feature personalized attention from the owner himself. Nice private back room for special meetings or celebrations.”

Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great knowledgable staff, and bartendars. Top notch ingredients.
• Wish I could afford to stop in daily.

“First class all the way. It's the perfect sophisticated upscale place for a night out or a client.”

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
Aug 13, 2009 by Delfine from New York

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• 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.”

Gascogne Restaurant

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.”

Abigaels On Broadway
Jun 8, 2009 by Chaim from New Jersey

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[8] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Great food and excellent service.
• Ambiance needs some touching up.

“I have been hearing about Abigael's Restaurant for some time now. I finally dined there recently and had a great experience. Their steaks are really tasty. I had the Blackened Steak that came with a sorta sweet and sour tangy but tasty Jack Daniel's Steak sauce. It is also served with Honey Roasted Potatoes that are to die for. The rest of my party had a great time. Our server was a friendly African American guy who was very friendly and gave the best recommendations.”

• Everything.

“This is the first time I have ever had a meal so poor that I felt compelled to write a negative review about it. Seaport Cafe was a total tourist trap. We got a fairly simple lunch - taco salad, chicken wrap, iced tea and diet coke and it honestly tasted like a bad high school cafeteria. The service was non existent.”

“The worst restaurant I've ever been to. The people were rude, one of the waiters tried to get smart with me the food terrible, I asked for a hot chocolate it had so much sugar. Never going there again in my life, I might just to mess with them and not buy food.”

Sugar Loaf Cafe

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[4] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[3]

• None.
• Rude service.

“We live a couple of blocks from here and went for a cup of coffee. We entered and was looking at the menu and the owner lady asked in a very rude voice what are you looking for? We should have left then, but ordered mocha and passion fruit mousse, which they didn't have and the lady sent a worker there to neighbor Brazilian Crepe Cafe to see whether they have it (I guess they are owned by the same owner). They didn't have it either so we ordered flan instead, of which price was written $3.25 but the lady charged us $4.25. When we asked about this, she said, the prices are subject to change, again in a very rude voice. Don't go here. coffee and flan tasted okay, but nothing more than average. It is not worth it with especially that kind of rude attitude toward customers.”

Buona Sera Restaurant
Mar 17, 2009 by John from NYC

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[3] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[3]

• The staff was nice, and the food was okay.
• The owner is mean to customers.

“I walked in with my girlfriend, and instantly a waitress came to seat us and looked very nervous. Anyway we wanted to set in a bigger table, since the place was almost empty, they told us we couldn't so they put us in the front. The server came and told us the specials, and so we ordered two of them, which was a big mistake because they were almost three times more than the average dishes on the menu. On top of that a tall and fat guy kept staring at our table and screaming at his staff in front of us, what a horrific experience. I feel bad for his staff!”

Le Bon Cafe
Mar 5, 2009 by Sireatsalot from Long Island

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Food is great.
• Seating is hidden.

“The thing I like about Le Bon Cafe, aside from its convenience, is that there is such a big variety of foods. Every morning, I grab one of their fresh baked muffins (morning glory), and on the way home, I have the option to create your own salad. While other locations in Penn Station have create your own salads, this is the only place with fresh toppings and a clean set up. I highly recommend this to the daily travelers like myself!”

Da Gennaro Restaurant
Feb 19, 2009 by Brian from Seattle

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Fantastic food, home-made pasta.
• Tight seating, but part of the experience.

“A few colleagues and I walked down Mulberry around 9PM on a Monday evening, searching out a restaurant in Little Italy. Many of the restaurants were half full at best. We were swept into Da Gennaro by an eager host/owner and the place was packed to capacity. The energy was electrifying and the food was spectacular. Staff was amazing and the experience is worth the trip to NY alone.”

“This place is a great place, to go on a date, family or just friends. Specially in the summer where you are sit out side & enjoy the busy atmosphere. The food is very tasty & right on the Cuban Flavor. The place a bit busy & could be loud at times specially in the weekend nights.”

Robert Emmetts, Restaurant
Feb 13, 2009 by M

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[4] • Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Calamari - tender.
• Scallops were terrible - chewy and stringy.

“I met a friend for dinner before a show. This restaurant was convenient. The atmosphere was inviting. We were seated immediately, the place was pretty empty at 6 pm. We ordered drinks, they were overpriced and subpar. Not all items on the menu had prices, the soup, the desserts, only some of the drinks. The waiter seemed annoyed that we asked for the price. I ordered the sea food fra diavlo, it was a little pricy. The fra diavlo was very good as was the calamari. The scallops were chewy and tasteless. I would not go back.”

New Amity Restaurant
Feb 10, 2009 by Sai from NYC

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[6]

• Fast, prompt service; fresh and tasty food.
• It has the typical feel of a busy diner. Avoid the rush hours, and it's much more pleasant.

“New Amity is your basic Greek diner. The food is fresh and tasty, service is extremely prompt, and for the regulars, it's like home away from home. It has the usual chaotic, busy feel of any NYC diner, but, as a diner maven, I have to say this is one of the best. They do wonderful breakfasts (love the hash brown potatoes with eggs over easy, fresh squeezed orange juice and endless cups of coffee), and my dinner favorite is their spinach pie with a side Greek salad (feta cheese, olives, etc.). They do a fabulous chef salad, too. Like most diners, they have a huge menu, but I always stick to my favorites. And, of course, they deliver.”

Isabellas Restaurant

• Food was not that memorable.

“I felt the food was nothing out of the ordinary. The clam chowder had very little taste, especially a flavor of clams. My pasta dish was bland and had nothing that made it memorable.”

“My husband and I were at the restaurant on the 9th December 2008 and what a gem of a place, the food was wonderful and the staff was so friendly that we went back a few nights later, as there were so many places to eat there on 44th street. The food was wonderful both nights and the cocktails great, the staff add to the atmosphere of the restaurant you can't fault anything about it and we will certainly be back on our next trip to New York.”

Niles Restaurant
Dec 18, 2008 by Dennis from Stratford, Ct

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Interior had a contemporary flair and looked like it had recently been redone. You cannot hear the bar noise from the dining room.
• Absolutely nothing.

“We heard that there were no excellent restaurants, reasonably priced near Madison Square Garden. Well this is not true. We dined at Niles Restaurant which is diagonally across the street from Madison Square Garden. We had 3 different meals and all were great. I had the crispy duck, my wife had Shrimp with angel hair pasta, under $20 and my daughter and her husband had lamb chops. Portions were very good, service was impeccable and everything was reasonably priced for NYC. We would go back there again in a minute.”

Hurleys Steak & Seafood House
Nov 27, 2008 by Diana from Miami, FL

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[2] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[7]

• The butter was tasty, akin to hand-churned Danish butter.
• This is a glorified sports bar disguised as a restaurant with a menu to match. I am sure if we ordered wings & fries my review would have been a 10. The location and upstairs steakhouse furnishings lure you into believing a steak would be tasty.

“Basically, this is a sports bar with an upstairs restaurant set in 1800's steakhouse saloon decor. Very deceiving, as it is warm & rather clean for NYC. Breakdown on the meal: rolls were 2-day old & reheated; butter was the highlight of the meal; salad was below McDonald's quality; steak was large, but very tough; pasta was overcooked & sauce was bland; chicken was tough & rubbery; pork medallions were an absolute joke, 3 silver-dollar sized & 1/4" thin, and without taste to boot; chicken pot pie was white gravy poured over undercooked veggies, not even worthy of feeding to dog! Service was even worse, if you can imagine that! Never saw the wait staff after service, never had drinks refilled, had to share utensils because staff was nowhere to be found.”

Food:[2] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Atmosphere.
• Food!

“19 members of the staff took a party of 130 teenage students from the U.K. to the Jekyll and Hyde club a couple of nights ago. I can't actually recollect a meal I've had as bad as this one. They were charged over $50 a head for undercooked burgers (many were actually frozen inside!) and pizza which simply defied description. We came in three equal sized groups; out of the first 70 meals, which came out, about 58 were returned. These meals later came out of the kitchen still undercooked. Our students aren't particularly fussy, but there wasn't a single positive comment about it. Having put the health of our students at risk on this massive scale during a holiday for which the children had saved for two years, I had no option but to contact the city Health Department. The kitchen of this establishment can't be functioning properly with this level of problem evident, Avoid this place! We certainly will. Absolutely appalled. I hope that the city shut it down.”

• Live music & late night food.
• No happy hour special.

“The place is warm and friendly. The prices are average for mid-town, but the portions are well worth the price. The menu has something for everyone. I have tried many items, but only because try my guest food. Other wise I can't stop ordering the Tarte Flambee pizzas, mussels, shrimp & scallop apps. and the rack of lamb or steak Au Poive. Then we hit Carnegie Hall and come back later for dessert and drinks, because Seppi's is always open until 2am. I can't say enough about this place I love it. I am so glad I found this place.”

“For $42.50 for overcooked hambergers and chicken strips with fries, this restaurant is over done. Unfortunately the same can be said for the lame show that accompanies your meal. It is almost just as lame filled with unknown wannabes and mysterious waitresses who leave you guessing when to expect your dinner albeit 45 minutes after ordering. I would pass up the $42.50 entree and spend a little bit more on a good broadway play and midtown restaurant with decent food and service, all of this lacking from this horror restaurant, which truly in its own respect is a horror when it come to good food and service.”

Mesa Grill
Oct 21, 2008 by Lori from Denton

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[4] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Interesting decor.
• Too much seasoning - let the purity of the food shine up to your hype!

“We were excited to visit MG. We were seated in a group of tables for two that actually was like a long banquet table with conversations and elbows lapping over. We split a BBQ quesadilla for an appetizer and it was tasty enough, but pricey for what you actually get. We each had the famous strip steaks with house sauce and when they came out, I was given my husband's medium (very red) and so we switched them ourselves, but my med-well was just as red. So they kindly took it back to cook it more (although I was embarrassed to send it back of course) and then somehow it became a nightmare and didn't come out, so they finally apologized and took my husband's back to keep it warm. We ate our sides of overpriced over-salty fries and Chile relenos (it was ok, but so-so) and then after about 45 minutes, they finally brought the steaks back out and duplicate sides (which they could've kept). They were about the toughest steaks and overly rubbed and slated and sauced I've seen - ok. So we're from Texas, but I really thought this was going to be the best thing I'd ever had. I really had hoped the meat would at least be fantastic. Then we did try the desserts - very pricey again for what you get. Creme Brulee - ok, but again not the best I've had and the cornbread pudding was ok. This was a Tuesday night about 7:30 pm to start and we again were all squished in like sardines. So the place has to get it right most of the time. Guess we just didn't hit it on a night with a great chef. in the background for certain. I was disappointed to the point of being heartbroken for traveling all that way to end up with a meal like the one we had! The server was unhappy with the kitchen, but it surely wasn't her fault!”

• Excellent food, cooked exactly the way you request.
• NA.

“It was very easy to find and very convenient for our hotel on Times Square. The waiter was very friendly and helpful. Our appetizers were delicious, (the largest portion of Prosciutto and Melon I have ever seen) and our steaks were fantastic and cooked exactly the way we requested. The side orders were easily large enough for two to share. All waiters were very attentive and kept our wine glasses topped up. We both thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The only negative comment I have is that the greeter spent more time talking to her friend who was passing by than greeting potential customers.”

Telephone Bar & Grill
Sep 5, 2008 by Isabel from New York City

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing special about them.
• Horrible food, dreadful service, bland decor.

“My friend and I went to the restaurant. I ordered Rotisserie chicken with challah and granny smith apple stuffing which were to come with carrots and mashed potatoes, my dish did not have any apples and I was given 7 very small diced potatoes. Her Sheppard's pie was to her satisfaction; our dessert was a horrible rendition of a crème brlée it was watery and bland. Our bill came up to $116.88 we wanted to split it down the middle on two different debt cards. The waiter wasn't competent enough to accomplish that.”

• Young kids thought it was scary and liked it.
• Food was terrible! Waitress should know the menu.

“Small kids loved it. Although was disappointed waiters were not dressed up. Older kids thought it was ok- Think they were looking for more ghoulishness from staff-like a haunted house--none of that though. Ate lunch 1pm. Top floors off limited to look at. Food was the pits have potential though if they could spare the cheese and lettuce on the burgers and change the buns to something edible. How do you make a child eat a hockey puck! My 11 year old said the place was filthy-his words not mine. Shame, dropped a small fortune, you expect to a decent meal even though it was a theme place.”

“It was a nightmare! The food was disgusting. I order a ceaser salad. Whoever heard of eggs in Caesar salad? The onion rings taste like White castle frozen. Then they billed me three times on my credit card. I ate there on the 11th of July and they charged my card two other times after, on the 25th and 29th.”

• Nothing positive, sorry.
• Disgusting food and horrible service.

“This place was horrible! The food was disgusting and it was not cheap. The service was even worse! The waiter had an attitude and never came to check on us. Why should he work when the gratuity was automatically added into the bill? When we asked to speak to the manager he lied and said he was not there. When the manager finally did come over he gave us another song and dance about our bill. And to top it all off, probably to get back at us for complaining, they ran our bill through 2 times and we got charged twice for that horrible meal. My advice, stay away from that place. I guess they probably only stay in business because they have one time tourists as their clientele.”

“Our surly waiter reluctantly waited on us with no greeting. Took his time to serve us and while we waited for a refill of our water glasses we watched him stand around for 20 minutes. We asked to speak to a manager who he said was not in - but he was. Finally when we talked to the boss about the atrocious service we wanted to have him remove the automatically added in gratuity he said it would talk 2-3 days to make this change. The food was barely edible as well. How this place survives is a miracle.”

“I travel a lot to New York and dine in Upper West restaurants near my regular hotel. I found Talia's Steakhouse to be one of the best spot. The food is great and the service is friendly and professional. I enjoyed the outdoor cafe and the live band. The only problem is that Talia's is closed on Friday night. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this establishment.”

“This was one of the best pastry shops in New York (my family, being NYC natives, can attest to that), but in 2004 the soaring rent and newfound health-consciousness of old customers forced this cute, delicious old shop to shut down. I repeat Jon Vie is no longer in business! This is quite a shame, as many previous customers still fondly remember their tasty pastries.”

“We here wanted a good steak, and what we had was a Great steak! We had the Filet Mignon - it was cooked to perfection - it just melts in your mouth. Not an ounce of fat or gristle! We tried Black Opal Wine with our meal - im no expert on wine, but this was delicious! The service was great - waiters very attentive, but not intrusive - they just turned up at the table at exactly the right time. The atmosphere was very relaxed too. We weren't hurried, and nobody was "hovering", waiting to clear the table the second we got up. Id certainly go again.”
