Bastard Restobar - Seafood pancake with Kim chi

We had a great meal here with a large party of 12. They do not have a kid's menu but our kids still…read moreenjoyed along with pretty much everyone in our group. Our waiter was super attentive and even though it took some time for the food to come out, I think given the quality of everything we ate, it was worth it. I got the raspberry mint mojito cocktail which was delicious and I pinched a sip or two of kid's lemonade made from fresh lemons, perfect level of sweetness. We tried the sweet potato pakoras and lumpia and the trio of house made dips (we liked the green mint-e one best). Everything was tasty, including the sauces that came up with them. Our kids shared the ramen which they split into two large bowls that didn't even look like a split dish given how much it was. My wife got the spare ribs which melted off the bones and had great flavor. The scallop dish I ordered came with six scallops that were a good size and also came with some gnocci, a delicious and unique sauce, and an unusual lobster with veggie type of ceviche salad accoutrement. I have the sense that the menu changes regularly here. The chef/owner came out and greeted us after the meal to ask how everything was and we could honestly respond that it was our best meal of the week. Subsequently we tried to sample many items from their desert menu and again Bastard did not disappoint. Surprisingly the "S'Mores," a more adult take on the kid's classic, was one of our favorites. Given the unique take on a variety of globally inspired dishes and great attention to detail, I would love to try Bastard again the next time I'm in the area.

So the Bastard Restobar and a great vibe. Greeted by the GM as soon as you walk the door, seated…read moreand our super friendly attentive waiter, we knew is was going to be a great experience. Food superb, extremely tasty was the lo mien and short ribs. A ton of flavor and so reasonably priced and so gooooood. Baklava cheese cake out of this world. End result is we must try more, no question. Shannon has the passion to explore the culinary expertise of the Asian experience. Don't miss it. I mean do not miss this gem!

The place is small and has some nods to history via the wall mural. We were prepared to have a long wait (about an hour from seating to eating) as they make all dishes from scratch. Most groups were ordering pizzas and we opted for a meatball parm sub and their haddock puttanesca special. There were two servers on for the evening covering and they seemed overwhelmed by the rush which was not our experience before. While the food wait was expected it did take a considerable amount of time to get out drink order taken and then to have it arrive. In between ordering and getting our drinks I noted out server taking care of 2 other tables bringing out food and drinks. It took about half an hour for the bread to arrive at the table. The puttanesca was good and well seasoned but the meatball parm sub and fries were surprisingly under seasoned. We may be back again but will probably not go in when they are nearly full again.

There have been many restaurants that this location has hosted over the years. Laurella's opened up…read morerecently and did a lovely job renovating the space. The bar is large and looks very comfortable. Lots of TVs for watching various sports. The overall vibe is very casual and not pretentious at all. Service is friendly, and the food was timed just right. Our friend ordered a Makers on the rocks and I was impressed with the pour. We shared calamari and mozzarella sticks to start; not a trace of greasiness-both served hot and with a delicious side of marinara. The peppers in the calamari could be an appetizer of their own...I could have made a meal of those. I had the buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese dressing on the side. Fab. Grilled chicken pieces were just the right size and coated with a medium spicy sauce over greens, croutons, onions and olives. Others at the table had the ribs and Tuscan chicken. Rave reviews for the Tuscan chicken served with pasta in a creamy garlic sauce. Ribs-huge portion (got the full rack) and the fries were awesome. These are fork and knife ribs; no need to pick them up since they fall off the bone. I would have liked a little more sauce...so next time I'll ask for a side of it. We arrived early and it got busier without being too crazy. I hope they do well-go check them out!

First time going, the place was packed. Huge bar that accommodates a lot of people. They had live…read moremusic which was good, but way too loud. It was hard to have a conversation without yelling.

This place is a culinary gem! Fantastic food, both menu choices and quality. The menu changes…read moreevery few days so the culinary delights you'll experience are different every time you visit. Service was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Taylor was one of the best servers we've had in a long time. Everything is made fresh daily, and if you sit at the Chef's Counter, you'll see it first hand. You'll also get great descriptions of everything from the awesome Chefs and maybe get to try something extra too. I recommend using the reservation system on their website and specify your seating preferences. You can choose from the Chef's Counter, the bar, a high-top table, a low table, or an outdoor table (weather permitting). We also appreciated them asking about food allergies on the reservation system too and they verified it when we arrived. We were so impressed with the unique menu options that are offered in the appetizers, small shareable plates, main courses, desserts, and drinks. We are already planning on coming back Sunday for brunch and know we'll be back again soon for dinner.

We stopped in (had eaten there before) and prepared ourselves for a sure to be delicious meal. They have a fun frequently changing menu of small, medium and large plates so you can choose your own foodie adventure. If you want to sit at the bar you get a great view of the chefs at work preparing your meal. If you want a cozier experience, sit in the comfortable seating in the rear of the restaurant. Our server was very attentive but chill and knowledgeable. We got the Utica greens to share as an appetizer, a cocktail and Mad Max local beer, then a burger with hand cut fries and a chicken stuffed poblano. Dessert was a passion fruit chocolate tart which we took to go. If you're looking for well crafted food with a creative twist, this place is a great choice. North country friendly and approachable with a sophisticated set of offerings. Some really unique cocktails too. Not a boring thing on the menu.

Massie's Restaurant has its roots in Old School Italian Cuisine. It opened it's doors in 1929 and…read morethe interior reflected that up until recently when it was beautifully remodeled increasing the the bar size seating area as well as the dining room. The menu remains Old School but somewhat limited to the tried and true oldies along with some little surprises springled in here and there. The the white bean sausage soup was bursting with Old World home cooked flavor and nonna nostalgia, what a treat. The Lasagna, seasoned with meatballs and and sausage, is a classic; thoroughly delicious and enjoyable. Now for the Eggplant Parm! Many Italian restaurants of late in order to cope with rising food costs have reduced portion sizes and no where is that more evident than in the Eggplant, Chicken and Veal Parms. Eggplant slice thicknesses have seen a steady decline in some of our favorite Italian restaurants in our hometown area. The breading has literally taken over as the Eggplant flavor has virtually been lost as it was sliced so thin. Not the case at Massie's portion size is more than adequate with a substantial slice of eggplant restoring the eggplant as the real star of the dish. Both of us agreed that this was one of the best Eggplant Parmigian we've had in a very long time. If there is one critique it would be the dessert at $14, we would have expected a piece slightly larger given the fact that everything on the menu is ala carte. Massie's still delivers the goods and well remain our stop when traveling in the area.

Also they have parking in back (easier) or across the street. Sat at bar w/ Bartender Brian & many locals & regulars. All super friendly. Nice large bar area & lots of dining space. Heard lots of stories on the original family who started this business & the new owner. There's a picture of them by the bar. 5/5 House Salad Bleu Cheese Dressing, if I knew it would be so crisp & the homemade dressing so delish I would have ordered it as an entree! Next time. 4/5 Steak Pizzaiola, NY Strip medium covered in onion, marinara, cheese & side of spaghetti! I didn't care for the onions & steak was good, but a little chewy. Sauce is absolutely amazing! Wish they sold it! 5/5 Pasta Fazool, soup special & fan amongst the regulars. 5/5 Turkey Club, huge! Many recommended the Manicotti, Baked Ziti & Lasagna. All sharable! 2/5 Tiramisu not at all traditional! Basically just a piece of cake. Definitely recommend this Italian joint. We will be back!
