Best natural sorbets & gelato I've had in NYC..love the grape (w/ real red grape skins!), peach, pineapple, strawberry & banana!
Like most dim sum places, it can be chaotic & service is spotty, but totally worth it since I can't get my faves anywhere else: BBQ Pork-pineapple bun & Mango-grapefruit tapioca! ;9
Cozy Jap teahouse w/delicately prepared bentos, donburis, toasts, & desserts. Black sesame creme brûlée is the usual pick but my sweet tooth prefers the Mixed berry Parfait w/ fab flavors & textures
Canotto w/ brioche dough, gruyere, prosciutto, & mascarpone is my 1st pick of savory items. And for my fave sweet one, I'd take any 1 of their Canottos w/ bits of super-juicy & fresh seasonal fruit!
Scrumptious concord grape filled (front) & PB & Concord grape jelly filled doughseed (L) donuts- made w/ fresh Concord grapes frm Union Sq Mkt! ;9 Loved these over overly sweet carrot cake (R) donut.
Non-fat yogurt flavors are the bomb- banana nut bread, mango sorbet, pistachio, & pumpkin pie.;9
Free wifi (no outlets) in elegant & sleek (Illy) coffee lounge /choco bar w/ vast "library" of hi-end chocolates from all around world! 10% off coffee & chocos w/ chk-in & 1 chocolate w/ every drink.
Try the Mango Pudding W/ Mixed Berries & Passionfruit Sorbet - Refreshing, sweet & tangy.
At $2 per piece, my faves are key lime, lingonberry, raspberry passion fruit (in pic).
$1 oyster (differs) nitely HH! Prince Edwards were fresh. Try the raspberry soufflé. Loved dining under a stain-glass dome in an elegant setting w/ live jazz playing (Wed-Fri nites) in salon below.
Fantastic, creative fare similar but a bit heartier than ABC Kitchen's: (Must-have) Crab Toast, Duck Breast, Chocolate Strawberry Brownie, & refreshing "To Pretty!" Reserve & be back in a heartbeat!
Delicious artisanal cakes by the slice in an ethereal setting. The cheesecake is the star attraction. The crepe cakes and strawberry shortcake are also outstanding.
Skip Nougatine next door & spend the extra $6! 2-dish lunch PF w/ comp 3-taste amuse bouche & 6-pcs of homemade petit 4's: chocolates,macaron,fruit gelée,& nut brittle. Uni & sea bass were my faves.;9
The bruleed Hawaiian Pineapple is juicy and tropical, with lime zest and Alaea salt. Read more.
Wonderful place next to the beach. Amazing fish dishes and desserts too. Try the inverted pineapple cake dessert.
Awesome staff! Awesome food! They have a 3 course Chef's Tasting pretty much daily from 4:45pm to 5:45pm for $26 that was perfectly portioned! Enjoyed the nightly live music as well
The atmosphere is amazing. Put you're feet in the sand and enjoy the view and awesome food. Best shrimp cocktail and lava flows. Happy hour is from 3-5 but only includes limited drinks.
Amazingggg!! Loved the fish tacos in the barefoot bar as well as the coconut calamari! The piña cola dad are the best! We ate here 4 times on our honeymoon! Yum!
Great wedding memories @ this small beach-front luau w/ welcome orchid lei, private table server, live performers, 5-course authentic Polynesian food+open bar. Great pork + Mai Tai's & Blue Hawaiians!
Appetizers are good, but don't waste that precious stomach space. Portions are huge. You can always get Apfelstrüdel for dessert.
Absolute fave: French Onion soup!! ;9 Choucroute is also good. Had Steak Frites w/ both Au poivre & red wine sauces on side-both great but I prefer the wine sauce. SKIP Les Halles & come here!
Don't sit by window! Hostesses are stupid & rude to seat 4 ppl @ these tables meant for 2 ppl!! TO OWNER/CHEF: As a result, we ordered LESS to fit our tiny, uncomfy table & didn't even order dessert!
I ❤️ the Welch's Grape, Strawberry & Cookies n' Cream froyo but NOT the dirty place & lazy & rude employees working here! Cashier rung me up w/o giving me credit on my 16 Handles app
The legendary Rainbow Room is reopening today. There will be a festive Sunday brunch in addition to Monday night dinners with live performances open to the public. Sun, 10/5. Read more.
This is great French cuisine. The desserts are amazing. The tarte aux Pommes was a pleasure.
We loved their gelato! Chocolate was intense so you may want to order one scoop for starters:) Cheesecake is also delicious🍰🍰
Pain de Gruyere = to die for. Your mouth won't know what to do except smile :) Get a loaf to go if the bakery line isn't too long. If so, you can buy at the table at restaurant price for $0.50 more.
Best Baguette: baguette Monge-slightly swollen at middle & slender at tips, crackly outer crust yielding to a moist, almost damp crumb...tastes buttery w/o butter, rich & complex w. a subtle tang.
Delicious French pastries. Obviously the chocolate croissant is a must, but the Yuzu pastry is also good!
Chocolate almond croissants were some of the best I've ever had, not too heavy or oily. We had lunch - salad was good, salmon was amazing.
Amazing italian food of the highest quality, very posh as well. Def a celeb grubbing spot and tons of good looking upper eastsiders being cool and stuff. Also amazing rum raisin gelato.
This Lasagna makes me crazy. Why so good. Dare to say its the best lasagna in the city.👌
Sunday Brunch here was great. Got the spaghetti with clam in white sauce as well as the garganelli bolognese.
The pasta here is to die for. We started with the foie gras (OMG), then we split the cavatelli & tortelloni, bombolini & choc dome dessert. It was probably the best meal I've had in all of America.
Lugar privado, ambiente relax, comida excelente... Los postres buenísimos, súper recomendadas las fresas flameadas y el brownie en copa.
El lugar es perfecto para reunirte con amigos, variedad de bebidas y la comida es deliciosa, pastas, pizzas... Prueben la Muy Muy y la de 5 Quesos! Un Poco de cada País!
Stop in to get a ham & cheese croissant & their amazingly refreshing Summer Tropical Garden Herbal Iced Tea -a blend of mango, pineapple, papaya & peach flavor! 😋
Great froyo on the 7th floor of Bloomingdales. A small size ($4.50 w/o toppings) is good enough for two to share. If you can't decide on a flavor, you can get two in one cup!
Apricot Danish is like a croissant that has an apricot jam w/ pistachio cream filling. The croissant was good. I would get it again if I was in the area but wouldn't make a special trip just for it!
We love their plain and marzipan- and nut-laden pistachio croissants, insanely chocolatey, crispy chocolate chip cookies, blackberry-almond danishes, and blueberry tarts with crisp, flaky crusts. Read more.
Good lobster salad, foie Gras salad and club sandwich. Low key quiet feel
Teppan lobster brushed with ponzu and served with 9 sauces, mushrooms and shishito peppers & seared scallops sushi. Skip tuna sashimi with chilli. Shaved ice dessert between 2-4 & choc mousse
Servers are excellent - helpful with sake & menu recommendations. The food was great as well - had the lobster avocado salad, wagyu skirt steak, garlic rice, and sashimi - it was all excellent.
Blueberry & Rum Raisin lovers rejoice...THE BEST homemade ice cream I’ve ever had (IMHO as a world-traveled NYC gal)! A 5-star MUST-TRY if you're in the area! Cute village by the sea too. :)
Good NE clam chowda, cole slaw & lobster roll (1/4 or 1/2 lb meat). Stars are fried scallops, onion rings & lobster stew (more watery lobster bisque w/ tons of meat). Trying Strawberry cake next time
Fried onion rings + (fresh, huge) fried scallops are some of the best I've had in Maine!
Pricey but an al fresco AYCE buffet HK fave of mine: zen atmosphere, poolside dining next to HK Harbor, & high-quality grilled meats, seafood & salad bar, & dessert station.
caramelized plantains is so tasty - the grapefruit sorbet is super grapefruity and so refreshing
Excellent gelato. Friendly and helpful staff that let you try anything and everything. Recommend the strawberry balsamic or dark chocolate caramel sea salt. Wild Maine Blueberry also very good.
The dessert section...seriously wanted to get a piece of all of them (3 layer carrot cake, Maine blueberry cream cake, Crushed oreo and chocolate cake,strawberry lemon mousse cake, etc)
In addition to excellent pancakes and French toast, the corned beef hash was awesome. Come early, gets crowded quick.
My fave is Sweetmilk w/ strawberry purée + strawberries & blueberries (pic shows that + Strawberry snow which is not that great + Captain Crunch)
Even if U don’t leave room for dessert after this sumptuous seafood meal, get the Key Lime pie to go..it’s the best 1 I’ve had in a while!
Reasonably priced for its quality! Best deserts that actually taste a lot better than the non-vegan ones.
Roasted veggies especially the pumpkin!Delicious carrot cake, one of the best I have tried!Also nice teas and good coffee.
The coffee is solid (Le Columbe) as are the mini cookies (3 for $1.75 - try the chocolate chip) and mini baguette sandwiches.
Cute but super small tea place. Great British menu with all the savory pies, scotch eggs, and coronation chicken sandwiches to boot!
Absolutely divine chocolate waffles with vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍😍
The desserts here are stellar. Recommended: cookie monster shaved ice. It's so, so good. My friend also loved the mango madness shaved ice.
Best warm treats: Hodduck and Hong Kong French Toast. Best cold treats: O.G. and Mango Madness shaved snow.
Look no further. The best dessert is their Banana Caramel Cheesecake Xango. ;9
IMPRESSIVE UES French bakery w/ FRESHEST Mixed Berries Tart, BEST Tarte aux Pommes + Flan Pâtissier I’ve had in yrs! Skip mediocre macarons! Quiches + Ham & Cheese Croissant are also MUST-TRY’s!
