    I've been to City Limits many times over the course of a good 15 or so years, and I can sum them up in two words: reliably good. This time, I gave them a visit with some family and found myself satisfied once again. Like many other diners, they have a very wide selection of dishes and drinks that you can't really go wrong with; similarly, you might have one or two standout dishes that you always gravitate towards--in this case, mine have to be the crispy cod sandwich with cilantro mayo and fries, and the grilled salmon club with dill spread, asparagus, mushrooms and field greens (out of the five of us, two had the former, and the rest had the latter). For the salmon club, the freshness of the arugula and dill combined with the flaky salmon makes for the excellent pairing if you want something lighter, while their crispy cod paired with the cilantro mayo is great flavor combination if you're fine with something a little heavier. While they have plenty of options for drinks, I opted for their cold-pressed orange juice--you simply can't go wrong with it. Likewise, the service is great, and the aesthetic is, all things considered, slightly upscale for what you might expect for a diner. This restaurant has been good enough to keep us coming for over a decade, and I can say with fair confidence that this isn't likely to change anytime soon.

    Roasted Turkey Cobb Wrap

    Lunch. Seated as soon as we entered - the place is large enough to accommodate a lunch crowd so a wait is rare. The waiter came, we asked for water all around. Sodas and coffee for me. Very efficient service. The drinks came quickly. I was put off by the taste of the water - I mentioned that (but what can be done)? so I stuck with my coffee throughout the meal. Not a bad thing - the coffee is delicious and freely refilled. The food we ordered arrived promptly - a cheese omelette, the turkey wrap and a sandwich. All flavorful and generously served. We enjoyed the meal, the Diner looks great and we'll definitely be back. (Hopefully the water will be better.)

    They offer a variety of pastries!

    Stopped here as the last leg of our NY trip. Glad we did! It's a huge place and we were seated right away! I must say their coffee was amazing just a regular cup of Joe but very good quality- usually I find diner coffee to be meh I enjoyed the corn beef hash - you could tell it was made in house - seasoned well but not too salty as some can be! The poached eggs were perfectly poached! I did not eat the hollandaise sauce as I'm not a fan but I'm sure if that's your thing it's good! My only complaint would be it had very little potato in the hash but otherwise enjoyed it. Our waiter took good care of us - making sure either our coffee cup or water glass stayed full. Warning for those that don't do steps well - if you have to use their restrooms they are located down a steep stairwell to the basement level! I did find them clean and well stocked.

    Carne Asada Tacos. My wife said they were wonderfully seasoned, but oddly the cold ingredients that topped it made the meat a little cold.

    Upscale diner menu, not as extensive a menu as a traditional Greek diner, but more appropriate for when a family member says they don't want to go diner in general lol. As everyone is saying, any of their food items that are from their onsite bakery, or star their crabcakes are always ideal. We were in a rush, so my wife had the taco appetizer and I had a Swiss omelette. Both a little pricier than comparable diner fare by about two dollars per meal, but seemingly worth the price. The waiter was very considerate and attentive. According to my wife as we were leaving, the take out rice pudding was killer. Named the best Diner in Westchester 2025. Not sure I agree, but certainly up there in the running.

    Crispy Calamari

    Calamari was nice and crunchy. The steak sandwich was excellent. We ate in the bar area and the bartender/waitress was prompt and friendly. It is not a normal greasy spoon diner. They had more of a restaurant vibe.

    Buffalo Spicy Chicken Wings (7 Wings)

    I came here for brunch and it was delicious. I ordered the spicy chicken wings as an appetizer. Then I ordered the crab and lobster Benedict which was ok. It came with some potatoes that had chives. I enjoyed the wings they were crispy and flavorful. The blue cheese was also really good and creamy. The eggs Benedict was good and the cake did have some crab, I did not really taste the lobster. I would order another item next time, I saw a lot of pancakes and burgers. While the Benedict was not bad it was not something which was memorable. The egg was cooked well, the consistency was good. I also ordered the hot chocolate which was very good. The service was good; the space is really big so we did not wait for a table. The environment is friendly and inviting. I would definitely come back.

    Crab and Lobster Cake

    Second time going here and the food was very good. Asked for a medium steak but it came medium well which is fine. It still tasted great. We ordered several of the crab cakes they were so delicious. The omelette was okay. I usually get a coffee but the cappuccino was delicious. Ambiance is a fancier diner setting. The staff was receptive and friendly. Will come again.

    We have been coming to the City Limits diner for over thirty years. For many years it was my family's favorite restaurant where we would go for wonderful breakfasts, lunches and dinners. A few years ago we moved from Westchester to Manhattan, however when we're in the neighborhood, we often will come here for a meal since we know their food is always consistently delicious. Yesterday we had some errands to attend to and we came to City Limits for lunch. Although it was Fter two in the afternoon, their large parking lot was filled with cars but fortunately we found a space and given the size of yheir dining rooms we were quickly seated. Ruth was our waitress and we each had delicious salads. What really impressed me was something I never experienced before. We were planning to visit friends and I was thinking of bringing them a large container of chicken soup. When we first walked in to the restaurant, I noticed that in addition to their retail bakery, they had containers of soup for sale. I asked Ruth if the soup was very salty and her immediate response was that she didn't think so but offered to bring me a small sample so I could taste it for myself. Within a few minutes, Rith returned with a small bowl with the doup that was indeed not salty but absolutely delicious. Of vourse we ordered a quart and asked if she could add it to our bill. I assumed Ruth would just get one of the prepared containers from the retail department but instead she returned with a quart of the soup from the chicken in a bag with fresh bread. My friends were delighted with their gift and we were very impressed with Ruth's dedication to providing us with a wonderful lunch and great service.

    Menu

    A few new menu items have been added since Covid-times, which is a relief given that this place severely trimmed their menu at the onset of the pandemic. The recent additions include spaghetti and meatballs, breakfast burrito, ham and cheese croissant sandwich, acai bowl, and others. The spaghetti is fantastic -- better than what you may find at a pizzeria; a generous amount of garlic elevates the tomato sauce, and the creamy ricotta on top adds depth to an otherwise ordinary dish. Not to mention they give plenty of meatballs! The breakfast burrito is also solid, but texturally it's a bit of a wet mush. Steer clear of the smoked salmon omelet. The salmon is diced into tiny cubes and the onions would be better if they were caramelized more. Also, the babaghanoush has changed -- it's not very good anymore. Tastes store-bought. Service is always good and the Christmas decorations are iconic.

    Two Egg Breakfast ham, bacon

    There is a free parking lot for customers of the diner. The entrance has a bakery area for muffins and other treats. We were seated quickly and our service was excellent. My husband remarked on how efficient and on top of managing his area that our waiter was. The food is good. The waiter recommended the gluten free blueberry almond muffin and my husband loved it. The food is pretty good for diner food, the portions were good. I enjoyed the bacon and the potatoes. I thought their hollandaise sauce was quite good as well. This was my 2nd visit and I thought the food was even better this time.

    No, they do not take any reservations. Be prepared to wait for brunch. There is almost always a wait on the weekends for brunch but the wait it not usually long. They're pretty good with turnaround. Lunch and dinner times are usually relaxed and… Read more

    Do you have gluten free bread, muffins, pancakes? Something for a breakfast meal...anything?

    Ok, I know I should be leary of salad bars right now with all of the coronavirus fright going on…read morebut I can't resist the salad bar at La Provence in the White Plains Bloomingdales store! Usually I will get a lunch entree off of the menu which automatically comes with a small plate for the salad bar. I always really enjoy the food at the salad bar and can barely eat my meal when it comes because I am already full! On my last visit there, it was late and I knew I'd be going home to sit and eat dinner only a few hours later, so I wanted to eat lighter since I also had a long drive ahead of me. I decided to go for their salad bar option, where they give you a larger plate for the salad bar and then you can have either soup or the famous Forty Carrots froyo to compliment your meal. I think this is the way to go for me going forward. I was able to enjoy the fresh salad and foods from the salad bar that I love, with a little treat of froyo at the end (which I never end up getting when I opt for the meal because I'm usually way too stuffed). What I love about the salad bar is there is so many options for salad- usually greens, bean salad, macaroni or potato salad, and other options as well. Many dressings and toppings as usual in a salad bar, and then there's always a hot option which is usually chicken wings or meatballs. My favorite part though? The POPOVERS!! Yum! Not many places make popovers and they make me very happy in all their carby glory. I've also had their steak quesadilla, Orchard Chicken Wrap, Short Rib French Dip, which were all delicious and perfectly paired and made. Their hot chocolate is super chocolatey and sweet, it hit the spot on a cold day. My beverage of choice to accompany my meal is always the Shoppers Brew, basically the Bloomingdale's Arnold Palmer. 5/5

    La Provence at Bloomingdales is a place where I would label as a "ladies' lunch" spot. There were…read moretwo gentlemen there so yes it can be a men's lunch spot too, don't want to offend anyone. They offer light fare and heavy on the salad options. I was underwhelmed with the menu they gave us so asked if they had a brunch menu which I saw one online before arriving. After a few minutes one was brought over to us which was not what I saw online but it added options. Each item was individual priced or you could make it prix fixe for $25 which included their famous frozen yogurt and a beverage. I opted for the Breakfast Balboa which I typically wouldn't order but it was the only thing "floating my boat." Much too hearty to be considered a light meal option so there is this. The Balboa was served open faced on a toasted baguette cut in half with shaved cooked roast beef, melted swiss, caramelized onions and perfectly fried sunny side eggs, one on each half of the baguette. There was supposed to be a garlic-chipotle dressing on sandwich but I think they forgot it? I am sensitive to hot seasoning although I like it so I took a chance it wouldn't be too hot. No worries because it was absent from the sandwich. The potato wedges were delicious, crispy and had nice seasoning. The lemonade was my beverage choice and I enjoyed it. It was smooth and not tart. When I called last week to make a reservation, I was told it wasn't needed for a Saturday. Good thing we went at 11:30 am because by 1:30 pm every table was taken. A good portion of the people dining were eating the frozen yogurt so it stands to reason because its so popular it must be really good? I use to frequent Forty Carrots (back in the day) which is their counter top service next to the restaurant and loved the frozen yogurt. There were three flavor options: plain (guessing plain is vanilla), chocolate and coffee. I opted for plain and that is what I got. When I inquired if it came with any toppings, I was told no so I asked if I paid extra could I get strawberries and I was obliged. The fee was nominal for a couple of strawberries cut up but that didn't add any sweetness, it was still sour/tart. I added a sugar packet to the strawberries but it didn't really help. So, what's all the hype about? My taste buds must have changed because while it was very creamy it was sour. I convinced my friend who is a yogurt hater that she would love it because that had always been my past experience. After one small taste she made a face and said, "tart." Then I tasted and agreed. I have to accept the reason I may have enjoyed it previously was because of all the toppings I use to add which likely masked the sour flavor for me. I know that totally defeats having frozen yogurt as opposed to ice cream. All and all it's not for me but from all the frozen yogurts coming out of the kitchen and being taken out at Forty Carrots I seem to be in the minority. OK spent way too much of my review on Frozen Yogurt! Peace out. BTW, check in on your Yelp app and get 20% off.
