I don't understand the negative reviews about their customer service and especially their food on the Yelp site. My only gripe is the Gluten Free pasta used in certain dishes (the Bolognese in particular)--it is dry, grainy and kind of tasteless. I would say that 90% of everything we've tried is excellent tasting and a quality par excellence. The rest is still very good. I have had the distinct pleasure of several kind and thorough email responses and phone conversations with Epicured staff when I had questions. For people who claim they're "internet savvy" and then disparage their poor ability to navigate Epicured's site....forgive me, but please! I am only basically internet-abled, and I had no problem changing orders (yes, and they do default to your last order if you don't change it), as well as skipping weeks for delivery (we aren't' daily/ weekly subscribers because we're on a more limited budget). Please! Some of this seemed like spiteful bit**ing to me. If you received the same repeat order you didn't like--then that's your fault! The Mediterranean Salad. Gazpacho, and Montauk crab cakes are to die for! I have had personal responses from their CEO (Richard Bennett) and Vice President (Adam Feis). as well as VP of Customer Service (Melissa Turner)--they are all incredibly kind, responsive and helpful. Their customer service line is excellent as well. Is everything perfect with Epicured? No, but is anything in life? If you like well prepared food that is shipped to you thoroughly packed/ chilled and insulated, with ingredients that are unmistakably well-prepared and fresh (you can add spice if you think something's bland!)--they are the boss! Do they respond with a great job for the people they are trying to reach and help? Yes!! Ok... the overnight shipping is pricey, but what do you expect? THEY ARE the real deal! Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good (and great, IMHO).

I was about to place my first order with Epicured. They claim they offer 50% off your first order,…read morebut this is misleading. Their words verbatim in my texted offer when I signed up: "Enjoy 50% off your first subscription order with code: WELCOME50!" However, when I entered this code upon checkout, it only took 10% off my order's total. This is a cheap trick to get people to sign up for this meal service. A quick Google search revealed customers with complaints of refund refusals, unsafe food upon arrival, and other food-quality issues. I was excited to try Epicured with a discounted first order, but I feel like I'm being tricked right off the bat, so I will not be placing any orders with this company. Companies should know better than to over-promise and under-deliver. Be transparent about what you're actually offering. If you're not transparent, you only make customers angry, which is not conducive to the company's success. People deserve good customer support, safe food for consumption, and access to a refund policy when food products are damaged due to the company's own negligence and poor packaging. Epicured needs to reconsider their current business ethics.

Josie recently opened this new location after crushing the wood fire pizza game for years with her pizza truck. The new spot is warm and rustic inside -- the perfect place to enjoy great pizza and good company. Josie and her staff were so kind, warm, and welcoming -- you can tell how much pride and love go into both the food and the pizza-making experience. We're so happy to see their business growing and can't wait to come back again soon. Glen Cove is lucky to have this spot!

We had approximately 80 people downstairs for a Kiwanis event in a nice size room with another attached area for the cocktail hour. We also used that room for the Buffet, and ultimately a group picture at the end of the night. This was an event focused on young students. Our Kiwanis Club's were honoring these students for their outstanding achievement in school. With that in mind, we kept the food simple, so they were Quesadillas, Chicken Franchise, Penne à la vodka, and mixed vegetables. Everyone enjoyed all the food. Chicken was tender and tasty, Penne was cooked well with a tasty Vodka sauce and the Chicken Quesadillas were tasty and cooked well. Apparently they do an outstanding job with whatever they serve. I always look forward coming back to this venue for what I know will be a great event. KUDOs to the team at Metropolitan Caterers.

The food tastes homemade, but some of them can be salty...like the empanadas. Too salty!!! My sister ordered once, and it wasn't very good. I always order the chicharon with rice and beans. They make it really well there. They also have homemade quesadilla salvadoreña. It's one of my faves. They have ones that they sell, but it isn't their homemade one. The commercial brand one sucks so bad. Stale, too! I don't really go there to buy packaged stuff...just for the buffet they got. Everyone's really nice there. You can eat inside since there's a place to sit and eat. But i always take it to go. The service is quick, the prices are reasonable.

Tonight's warmed over, dry ribs were another disappointment and we won't be back. The ribs are not fresh or juicy, as they had been the first time we were here. That was a memorable and fabulous experience that we've been trying to recreate. The service here has always been friendly and attentive, but I really wish the food was as good as what we had the first time we came. We met the owner on that visit, and he seemed to really care about the restaurant. I haven't seen him since then, and I'm so disappointed at the place's decline. I reallt want to like this place. It's a nice location. The outdoor seating and bar are comfortable and cool. But I just can't get past the decline in the quality of the food.
