Update: We went back almost immediately because we couldn't stop talking about the first meal, and…read moresomehow it was every bit as amazing. The lamb shank was absurdly tender, the baba ganoush was smoky and rich, and yes, the ezme, beets, and pita remain mandatory ordering. But what really sets this place apart is the heart behind it. On a hard night for our family, a simple unexpected dessert brought genuine comfort and a smile when we needed it most. They don't just feed your stomach here. They feed your soul. I would go to war for this restaurant. An absolute gem, genuinely some of the best food I've had in the area!! I don't write glowing reviews lightly, but this place absolutely earned one. From the moment the food hit the table, it was obvious this was something special. Every single thing we ordered, from the mezze sampler to the drinks to dessert, felt like the best version of itself it could possibly be. Not one weak note. Even the pita bread was memorable. Warm, soft, fresh, lightly charred, and worthy of praise in a meal FULL of standout dishes. The mezze sampler was EXTRAORDINARY. The beet and goat cheese was one of those bites that makes you stop mid-conversation. The goat cheese was fresh, creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced by roasted beets that were unbelievably sweet and luscious. Honestly, they were almost candy-like. I don't know what they did to prepare them, but they were incredible. The spicy vegetable dip, Esme, was bright, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Fresh, zippy, and balanced with just enough heat. The eggplant dip was equally impressive, with a silky texture, subtle tartness, mellow tomato notes, and that gentle pleasant bitterness that makes eggplant so satisfying when it's done well. The hummus was ridiculously creamy and rich with tahini, giving it a deep nutty flavor that made it one of the best hummus dishes I've personally had. We also ordered the Turkish manti, and they were fantastic. Little handmade parcels topped with cool yogurt and warm spiced oil that brought everything together beautifully. We didn't even manage to take a picture because by that point we were so completely absorbed in the meal that all manners disappeared and we just devoured them immediately. No photo. No pause. Just instinct. That might be the strongest endorsement I can give. The mint lemonade was perfect for a warm day. Bright, refreshing, tart, cooling, and mint-forward without being overly sweet. It tasted clean, balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Dessert completely sealed the deal. The Turkish revani was unbelievably soft, soaked through with milk, and had that luscious almost tres leches quality that makes every bite melt away. The fresh berries and raspberry sauce gave it just enough brightness and acidity to balance the sweetness beautifully. I had a cup of black tea with it, and the combination of cake, berries, and tea was one of those simple little moments that feels kind of magical. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Tasteful decor, warm atmosphere, and thoughtful design that feels welcoming without trying too hard. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuine. More than anything, the whole place feels like a labor of love. What blows my mind most is that this restaurant has apparently been here for over two years, and we somehow only just discovered it. We were legitimately mad at ourselves thinking about how many meals we could have had here already. Now we're just trying to make up for lost time!! For roughly $80 for two before tip, the value was outstanding. At first glance, the menu might look a little upscale, but once the food arrives, it makes perfect sense. The quality more than justifies the price. I've had good Mediterranean food before. This is operating on a completely different level. Without question, this is some of the best Mediterranean food I've had anywhere in the area, and I can't wait to go back.

The stores next…read moreto them are either empty or closed and the location, it's next to the Home depot, that when you park in front of the place, you feel like you're the only one eating there.. not a good first impression for a good restaurant. We went for dinner at 6 pm on a Saturday, we thought we were the only ones there, again because of the empty parking lot. There were a few people already seated. We didn't have any reservations, and I thought - Why would we? We started with the appetizers, babaganoush and calamari. Both were good. My wife and I had the mixed platter for two. All the meats were tasty, seasoned well and weren't dry. For dessert, I tried the affogato, espresso over ice cream and that hit the spot. Overall, we were impressed. People did start coming in after 6 so it's best to reserve a table especially if you have more than 4 in your party. The don't serve liquor so it's BYOB!! For some, that might be the important thing to note .

It's truly multigenerational; and the video games cover decades of memories. The place is immaculate, even though there's loads of kids and so far all the meals need loads of napkins - Juicy meals. Even the restroom is spotless. Tried the cheesesteak sandwich - in a word delicious! They choose the right bread to hold the moist filling. It held it all together. They also do a brisk "Take-out" business. It's worth a trip.

It was a super hot summer day so nothing pairs better than a nice smoothie. I was highly craving a smoothie bowl but sadly didn't have much time to enjoy one. I always feel like if you don't sit down properly to enjoy a smoothie bowl, you just end up with a brain freeze. So I went for the next best thing: a power protein smoothie! They have a vegan version with pea protein and almond milk which was awesome! I happily took this to go but this Vitality Bowls location is a complete vibe to come hang out and do some work or stop in for a quick lunch break. Love their fire place and cute neon sign. I'm a sucker for neon signs hehe. The window tints keep this place nice and cool and you can sit by the window and people/car watch. Plus it's so conveniently located and great as a post grocery run if you go to Aldi. Overall, great spot for a healthy treat. They have $6 wellness Wednesday smoothies!

Right after me, about 15 people came in in the next 10 minutes, and there was only ONE person working. He was so overwhelmed with the in-person orders and online orders.. I felt bad that they were understaffed and he was running around. It took minimum 30 min for anyone to get their order. The tropical açaí bowl was tasty but at $13.50, very pricey. Probably won't come here again given the LONG wait and steep prices.

Los Hornitos Bakery…read more Let me tell you ahead of time that this is a Sweet Treat Heaven! You will definitely want more than one dessert. Don't say I didn't warn you. Los Hornitos Bakery has plenty of parking right outside their door and it smells really nice as you walk in. Everything is perfectly displayed and I wanted to try one of everything! Their displays are filled with plenty of beautiful cakes, cheesecakes and cookies to choose from. You can get an entire cake or a slice or two.. or even three haha! They have a big refrigerator fully stocked with cold drinks as well. To start, I ordered the Churrasco sandwiches. Steak, cheese, avocado, tomato and mayo. It comes with a hot sauce and honestly, I don't like any kind of hot sauce. I was reluctant to try it at first and so glad I did because talk about a pleasant surprise! It has an amazing flavor that brings the sandwich to life and it's actually not hot & spicy! Food came out hot, tasted fresh and came out with perfect timing even though the bakery was quite busy. It's hard not to hear others conversations and it's obvious they have many happy customers. Ok, so now, let's get to the sweet treats. I got a meringue covered cookie with dulce de leche inside. I was excited for this as meringue is a favorite of mine but, unfortunately this treat was extremely dry & crumbly, difficult to eat and lacked in flavor. It's messy and would advise to steer completely clear of tasting it in your car. My second treat, a Bailey's Almond slice of cake. It was soft & creamy, light & fresh, excellent flavor and comes with a pipette of Bailey's Irish Crème. Almonds were crisp. It was so delicious I wish I had bought 2 slices! I recommend this as a Birthday Cake actually. It's impressive. Not overly sweet. You must try for yourself ! My third treat was a slice of Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Parcha is my #1 most favorite flavor and it did not disappoint. Classy. Flavorful. Balanced. Creamy. Decadent. Highly recommend. I'd even go as far as saying it's 'romantic'. It's a perfect dessert for the holidays and special celebrations. Excellent choice for dinner guests or date night. If you're looking to make a good impression, this is the dessert to have served! Last thing I ordered was a regular hot coffee with milk, to go, hot and flavorful just how I like it. It really hit the spot and made me smile! I truly appreciate a great cup of coffee. Looking forward to trying out their iced coffee and other flavor options on my next visits. Let's not forget another sandwich to try out !

Came here with my SIL and had a wonderful lunch! The buffalo cauliflower is delicious and was…read moresurprised that it was not breaded. Honestly so so good, we didn't even miss any frying plus better for the waist line. My chicken salad was chock full of Cajun chicken and bacon with hard boiled eggs and cheese along with all the veggies. The salad had the dressing all mixed in but not too much which was perfect. If you care about that, you can order it on the side, I am sure. My SIL got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and couldn't have loved it more! Great flavor and lots of crunch alongside fresh fresh-cut French fries. A great place to sit and talk with great food. Our waiter was attentive and so nice. When my SIL forgot to ask for no salt on the fries -- they accommodated her with a fresh batch. I am super appreciative. We will be back!

Really glad we tried Loco Garibaldi, as opposed to some of the other restaurants on Main St. it's a small place, maybe 6 tables and one on the sidewalk. The menu is on a tablet, there's a QR menu as well. I couldn't help but overhear a conversation the owner was having with another customer; he started as a dishwasher in another restaurant and worked his way up to where he could open his own place. The food was well prepared and not overly spicy. The rice was fresh and the beans complimented the rest of the meal. Tried the chicken enchiladas in green sauce. Inside the tortillas it was filled with shredded white meat chicken. The entree was excellent. Instead of a beer I tried the Jamaica water. I've had it in Mexico, where it's a refreshing change. It comes in a pitcher, be prepared it's enough for 3 people. Not expensive, nor pretentious. There's limited street parking. I will come back.

I grew up in Poughkeepsie so I went to Bagel World a lot as a teenager since the time it opened up…read more When they first opened up, their bagels were super fresh, prices were cheap, and the service was awesome and enthusiastic. I've noticed over the years, that all these things have changed overall: the bagels are not nearly as fresh, the prices have basically doubled, and the staff doesn't look so happy to be there anymore. My go to is the plain bagel (not toasted) with lox and cream cheese. A great bagel should never need to be toasted. Toasting a bagel makes a great bagel worse, but a bad bagel better. It is the ultimate leveler, but we this is in NY so we should be expecting some great bagels. Nowadays, my bagels are hit or miss, but the last few times I've went, the bagels are still pretty good with nice serving sizes. Just not as good as it once was (and could still be in the future).

Sam was apologetic and made me a lightly toasted whole wheat everything with hummus. It was delicious. The bagel was that ideal combination of crisp on the outside and chewy within.
