    Wanted to love it but this experience left me wanting a bit more. Maybe it was because we came down…read moreduring the busy CIAA weekend at the end of black restaurant week. Met a group of friend here for a dining experience. It was a little hard to find since it's located inside of Harbor Place. Parking is always hard to find downtown. If you are lucky you can get a spot on the street for a few dollars. The garages will start around 20 and go up from there. Started out rough after being seated. The restaurant is very small and is right inside the entrance. They ran out of menus so we had to wait until another table was done with their's. Then we weee able to get two for our table of 5 people. Then we were only able to get two glasses of water for the table. I was getting nervous by this point. Still kept an open mind though. One waiter said they had margaritas available but then our waitress said they don't serve alcoholic beverages ‍ . We went with a non alcohol half and half. They had sold out of a lot of items. I wanted lobster fried rice at first, but they sold out. Then I asked about the Oxtail Chop Cheese but they ran out of coco bread. I finally settled on the Oxtail fried rice. Food took a while to be prepared. Some items must have been ready soon but they held them until the whole group was ready. I say this because my Oxtail fried rice was just slightly warm and not hot like other's meals. Over all the food was very tasty. It had a pleasant appearance and savory flavors. Definitely a 5 out of 5. The service was ok. Witness was attentive. The only issue was them running out of everything. I will have to try them again. Earlier in the day of course and not on a busy weekend.

    I was really hopeful coming to this restaurant. I saw excellent TikTok reviews and as a Caribbean…read morewoman, I'd loved the concept and I love oxtail. However, I cannot honestly recommend this restaurant as a place I'd visit again. First off, going in, there was no host standing at the front and the menu options were digital but not pulling up. My boyfriend and I assumed since there was nobody standing at the host stand and there was a QR code to scan, we had to seat ourselves. We found a seat and waited roughly 15 mins until someone came over and greeted us. We thought this was odd because we made eye contact with the restaurant employees as they were sitting at the bar area. Once we were served, our server brought us waters and two paper menus since I still was unable to pull it up online. We ordered a mango juice and I ordered a pineapple mint drink. Those came out in 15 minutes and were pretty good. The mango juice tasted good and not too sweet and my drink was also good, not super minty though. A side note, we had a male server come and refill only one of our water glasses, which was odd since they both were low. If you're wondering if the pitcher was empty (because that's what I assumed) it in fact wasn't! The restaurant began to get busy, as expected since it's a Saturday night and only got busier. My oxtail tacos and the oxtail patty came out roughly 25 minutes later, the tacos on an extremely small plate, with food spilling off on the sides. My boyfriend enjoyed the patty, I did not try it however he said "it was okay, I have nothing negative to say about that". My oxtail tacos were burnt with cheese on the outsides (I wish I took a picture looking back on it). I assumed this was comparable to birria tacos, but there was minimal cheese and heavy oxtail (which can be rare for oxtail in restaurants), I would like to add that there were quite a few fatty pieces and the consumé was very salty in my opinion. The mango pico was okay, I added it to the tacos but it didn't add much additional flavor. I ended up sharing my three (3) tacos with my boyfriend because his oxtail Mac and cheese had yet to arrive! Our server came out and somehow forgot we ordered Mac and cheese until he reminded her, which I can understand due to the amount of business at that time. Roughly 6:45pm (30 minutes later), our server came over to us and stated the Mac and cheese was taken to the wrong table and they'd have to remake it, which she specified "would take a while". We obliged and waited for the food. Around 7:20pm, our server came back over to us and told us that "they said they would not remake the order" but she's take it off of our bill which should've been a given due to the fact we didn't get it. Instead of giving us our getting bill and letting us pay and leave, she walked away and we didn't see her for another 10-12 mins. She came back with the card reader and let my boyfriend review before paying. For our 2 drinks, my three (3) oxtail tacos, and his one (1) oxtail patty, the total came to $44.52. A few minutes after paying, as we were walking out, our server ran over to us and stated that the ended up making it and gave us a box. Now, I may have been born at night but I wasn't born last night. This food looks like it was scraped off of someone else's plate and into our box, barely any oxtail and no broiled cheese on top.

    Yes Chef! is across the street from my gym. I've been meaning to grab food from here, but finally…read moredid it one day. I was impressed with the interior of the space. The outside gives me bodega vibes, but inside was very spacious, with the food service section taking up a third of the area to the left and tables, chairs, and various items for sale taking up the rest. I'd have liked to sit and eat but I was in a rush. I wanted to order a combo meal, but there was no combo for what I wanted (salad and sandwich). There were soup/salad, soup/sandwich, or salad/sandwich options. When I inquired, the cashier had to take it to a manager. Well, the manager was great and created the combo for me on the spot! Kudos for excellent customer service! After I placed a to-go order for a salad and chicken salad sandwich, I meandered the venue looking at the items for sale. There was plenty to keep me occupied as it took a while for my order to be prepared. Unfortunately I didn't like the chicken salad, so thus did not finish my wrap. Also, a hidden layer in my salad was grilled veggies, which I didn't like nor want on the salad. I will absolutely try Yes Chef! again but will order other things, hopefully kick up this review a point or two.

They came in nice size bowls, with plenty of greens, toppings, and protein. The delivery driver John called me 15 minutes prior to my delivery time (which MOST do not) and for that I appreciate him for it. My only negative is they didn't add forks, lol for the salads!!

    I'm struggling to rate this business appropriately, but I cannot in good conscience go above 3…read morestars at this time. Why, you ask? Simple: Poor customer service. The sales people were amazing, be it at fairs, festivals or the in-home visits. We met with Scott, Pat and even Larry Everett himself. They were all very kind, knowledgeable and informative. We sampled the salmon and knew right away that the quality of the food was a step above what we normally got from supermarkets. After awhile, we finally decided to sign up for the service. Super fresh, high-quality items that defrosted easily/quickly just couldn't be beaten. But here is where the problems began. After we got a chance to do a more thorough inventory of the items received, we noticed that just a handful of one item was missing. Upon contacting Farm Fresh to advise them, we were met with apathy and a complete lack of desire to remedy. Seems that Al Fabian only cares about big orders and doesn't want to make small items appear as promised. Furthermore, we cooked another item a few weeks later and found small maggots WHILE WE WERE EATING it. As unsettling as the experience was, we calmly informed Al of the issue, assuming that it was but a fluke with the extremely high quality food that we had otherwise experienced. And what did Mr. Fabian do to allay our concerns? The same thing he did with the missing items. Absolutely nothing. So rather than waste any more of our time or money dealing with someone who clearly didn't want to address our issues and seemed to be a one-man customer service department, we decided to cancel the service before our first reorder. I'll end with this: Great food, HORRENDOUS customer service. If your food arrives correctly and you only have to deal with them at reorder, I think you'll be just fine -- because the food really is high quality, especially the salmon and chicken. But be warned that Al Fabian isn't in the business of servicing customers or solving problems.

If home food delivery is a service you are considering than look no further because you just hit the JACKPOT!! Larry and his team are dedicated to the customer as if they were family. I've had one small hiccup with a product I wasn't totally satisfied with due to the packaging, it had a small hole in it. When the next food delivery came out they not only replaced the product at no charge but they gave me an extra portion for my inconvenience. If that's not customer service I don't know what is!!

Their new location is BIGGER and BETTER than ever! The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. Wondering if they'll be getting more of that yummy snack or seasoning you picked up there last week? Ask them! They're always happy to get things back in stock if you want them to (supply chain permitting, of course). If they don't have it or can't get it, they'll help you figure out where you should be able to get it. I watched one of the owners spend 10-15 min with a customer trying to find a couple of specific ingredients for a dish they were planning on making that night. The owner called another local store to ask if they had those items in stock and then gave the customer full directions to drive there from Culinary Architecture. Besides their excellent selection of packaged goods and produce, the food and drinks they make in-house are also exceptionally good! Sweet treats? Meat (and No-Meat) pies? Bread? Caffeine fix? They have it all, with a solid selection of staple recipes and a rotating menu of new/seasonal items! With the natural light, warm smells, and big community table with different chair choices right up front, you'll feel right at home here. Convenient parking and outdoor seating available, too! Come check 'em out in Little Italy! (BONUS: A lil lady named Pokey... You'll know her when you meet her. )

Service wise, it was very pleasant to not be rushed to eat and go - a lovely area for great food and conversation. They also have a grocery area, as well as some unusual gifts. I will return!!
