This afternoon, my mother and I dined at Greek Brothers for lunch and we had an amazing time…read more Everything was absolutely delicious. We started with a lunch option, consisting of the Spanakopita (flaky and generously filled with spinach and feta) and a Greek Salad (fresh with lightly dressed vegetables). We also shared a Pita Chicken Gyro, the chicken was well-seasoned, the pita bread was soft and freshly baked, and all of it combined made each bite enjoyable. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, so we ordered the Orange Cake. At first, the texture hit differently; if I can compare it to anything, it would be close to bread pudding - it was moist but not overly wet. After the first bite, we didn't want to stop eating it. The flavors were divine. Our server, Jocelyn was a tremendous help; she was personable, attentive, and thoughtful, considering our needs before we even asked. Delighted to have finally been able to visit this hidden gem. Pleasant environment with great music softly playing in the background. I highly recommend it, and we can't wait to return!

Not sure what brought us to Franklin Square, but I'm glad we came here. The place is adorbs. The menu is fire. I need to try every thing ok it. This time I got the fig and prosciutto toast with a side of corned beef hash. The toast was fire amazing. I kinda thought the orange marmalade was a bit over powering but that's my flavor preference. It was a hard decision to pick what to east. So many damn good dishes. Staff was super sweet and quick although we didn't feel rushed. Putting this on my list of go tos for sure!

I have been anticipating a visit to Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery, I am happy to say that the…read moreopportunity to stop in for breakfast did present itself on October 9th. breakfast. Here is what I found. Visiting this Brunchery is convenient due to the municipal park and lock across the street just in case you don't find parking directly in front of the restaurant. Visiting Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery at 11 AM was a perfect time because it was not crowded and I found its festive decor very inviting and warm. Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery is spacious and offers group setting as well as a romantic setting, including a casual dining experience. I found the service at Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery to be subpar and there are too many waiters/ waitresses walking as well as bus persons and runners, to be ignored. I understand that this is supposed to be a high-volume brunch spot, but Franklin & Phoebe was not crowded. More on this later. I ordered the -Wild Wild West omelette- it consisted of marinated steak, red onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. This was a delicious meal. The steak was well done as requested and cooked just right, very tender, not hard to chew. The eggs were delicious as well and cooked well. $24- 5/5 The home fries were pretty good, I don't know if peppers and onions were supposed to accompany the home fries, regardless they were pretty tasty after adding ketchup. 5/5 The Vanilla Chai Latte was really good and the presentation was dynamite. I think I paid for the fancy presentation. $6-5/5 The waitress came over thrice in the beginning- 1. Drink order, 2. To take our order. We were still exploring the menu so 3. She came once more. After that, she was Casper the Friendly Ghost. Sure, she had other guests but for the entire meal, she was absent from my table. I can't say that she disappeared because I saw her writing checks. And another guest waited a long time as well. I had intentions to purchase another Vanilla Chai Latte, but it took too long for my waitress to return. What was sarcastically funny, when she finally returned to my table, she had the audacity to ask if I wanted something. I am thinking to myself -order something else and sit for another 30 minutes. Nah, I'm good! My point of view- I came to eat and leave instead; I ate and stayed- longer than I had intended. I surpassed the giving mode and was now in the bare minimum mode, in other words, the 25% greatly decreased. Improvement suggestion- an attentive and alert wait staff is most appreciative, so mentioning that to the wait staff is highly recommended. Inspire more, Yelp more!

Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to and everyone felt the same. Pricey…read morebut worth every penny.

It pains me to have to write this review but I feel this needs to be addressed…read more I'll start by saying the food was excellent. We had the fried calamari, the Pork Chops Mike, the Chicken Mario (x2), the Veal Mario and the Short ribs, Meatball and sausage special. We also has 4 glasses of wine, seltzer and sodas. We were quite satisfied with our meals and I recommend the food...until... My Uncle finished before the rest of us. A waiter immediately reached over and took his plate. I had moved my plate for my Aunt and husband to taste my dish. The waiter immediately asked if I was finished and took my plate to wrap up. I know, I should have stopped this but I was in shock. Three of us were still eating as they took the bread, cheese and red pepper from the table without asking if we still wanted it. A lot of times people use the bread to sop up the rest of the sauce. This is, after all, an Italian restaurant. One at a time they just started clearing the table as we were eating, reaching over us, even getting between the arms while my son was eating. This is RUDE!!! Filomena's is supposed to be a fine dining restaurant. At this point, being seated, ordering drinks, appetizers, drinks and dinner...we were there less than an hour and fifteen minutes! Clearing plates one by one as people finish makes others feel rushed or self conscious, not exactly hospitable. When we were all finished eating, our waiter, Mike, asked if we wanted dessert. We said, yes...he gave us the menu and as we were getting ready to order there was commotion at the table next to us. Seems, the restaurant told them they had to leave the table. These people had just finished eating!!! When we saw the way the other guests were treated and how we were being rushed, we decided to go somewhere else for dessert. Filomena's is RUDE, DISCOURTEOUS and can't follow basic restaurant etiquette. They are not interested in a customer, they rush you and make you feel unwelcome and unwanted. Our bill was already over $300, we were not going to give Filomena any more of our money, only to be rushed out before we could swallow our food. As for the bill, we were charged $29.00 for the fried calamari which is listed on the menu for $17.00. It came with sauce, which they took away, again without asking. This was not complimentary, we paid for this. Filomena's has good food, but honestly Filomena's has no manners. You will NOT be made to feel like family, you truly are just a dollar sign. The ambiance was rushed and shuttle like. Next,next,next...From the moment we sat down, it felt as though the staff's primary goal was to turn the table over as quickly as possible rather than host a hospitable dining experience, clearing the plates felt aggressive, making the evening feel more like a fast-moving conveyor belt than a proper sit-down dinner. While I understand restaurants have table turns to manage, a meal should still feel like a hospitality experience, not a hurried transaction.

Regardless, the salad was phenomenal and reasonably priced (approx. $15 for a create your own with grains, greens, tofu and other veggies). Plenty big too, just ask my husband who devoured half my lunch (insert eye roll here - I didn't want to share this time, but alas). I wish there was one a bit closer to my neck of the woods but I would absolutely return when in the area.

Coming in we found this gem to be top notch yet small and accommodating. It was immaculate and everything was in its place and the bar stools were so beautiful. We approached the counter, made our order and sat and waited for our food. The young lady and young man, I forgot their names, they were very cordial and pleasing to talk to. During our interaction we found out that Avli has another location in Bayside NY and this location was opened 2 years ago. When the order was ready, they brought the food out to us. We had the lamb gyro. This a huge meal, a delicious looking masterpiece that was assembled well and I found it very satisfying. This was an all lamb gyro, other places sell mixed lamb and beef. This gyro was very fresh witha full lamb flavor. We tried the orange cake for desert, it was quit delicious and not too sweet, also very satisfying.
