The service staff was very welcoming, friendly, courteous, patient, and very helpful. Salmon BLT with fries. The lady says it was delicious moist and very fiilling. Spicy Salmon tartar. The lady enjoyed this very much. Original burger done medium with fries. The lady enjoy half her meal because it was so filling and tasty. She took the rest to go. Tomato soup with Grilled cheese combo. The gentleman enjoyed every drop and bite. Watermelon salad was refreshing with the toppings. Another burger well done. The lady enjoyed the burger but, couldn't finished the fries so, her sidekick enjoyed them. Two grain bowls one with chicken and one without. The chicken was shared between both bowls. The bowls were eaten clean so, I guess they were yummy. The Half Chicken and waffle was amazingly moist and delicious. And I got a side of bacon to balance off the sweetness of the syrup. Lemonade was refreshing. Coffee was fresh and hit the spot( all three cups) This place was quite busy the whole time we were here. They have outside tables as well. Where we were the wall was up so we were inside with an outside veiw and feel. Stop in if you are in the neighborhood.

Oh, the memories.. I really wanted breakfast but it was like 4pm and that menu option wasn't available but the host mentioned that they have a Happy Hour deal at the bar so I figured why not. Let me check out what they have to offer. They had some happy hour beverages but I'm not a big drinker. Besides I had to go to work. But for those who like wine, one type of IPA and margaritas, they had some special specials on those drinks. And on the food, can't remember what they really had besides the Mac and cheese dumplings, which I have never heard of, but I was ready to explore. So I ordered the dumplings with the cheese dipping sauce and they were OK. Not really my thing and I don't know if I will order them again per se but they were OK in my opinion. Next visit I'll try to get there for Breakfast/Brunch or dinner because I know those menus have some great options!

We also got fresh juice and coffee. Everything was great! The service was friendly and quick. They take Apple Pay, there's a large menu with both breakfast and lunch. I think for the portion and quality it's definitely worth it especially by NY standards it's a good deal. $65 for everything and we took home a bag of left overs. Cannot wait to stop again when I'm back in the city!

I've been a regular customer for a while. No more. Today I places a deliver order. I never got it…read more Why not? Because the driver couldn't find the building which is 20 stories tall and on a corner. According to their records ,it was delivered. I had to wait 20minutes- and couldn't speak to someone on site, but to someone in Chicago. I got 10 dollars for my trouble. Also since I was deemed the trouble maker, I had to remember a code every time I order from them. I asked- four times why the delivery man , the restaurant, or even Chicago wouldn't call. They DO have the number . Instead I got the runaround and labeled a troublemaker. You know, I can get a grilled cheese without this kind of drama. Guess you can lose a customer when you operate out of Chicago.

This one honestly hurt my heart…read more.. Y'all... this review hurts my heart to write because I am a Sweet Chick fan. Not a "I tried it once" fan. A real fan. I've been going to Sweet Chick since there was only one location in Brooklyn. I was literally traveling from Jersey to Brooklyn just for the food, the drinks, and the experience, and I never minded doing it because it was always worth it. So when they opened the Ludlow Street location, I was excited because now I didn't have to make the trip to Brooklyn every time I wanted my chicken and waffles. Back then, Sweet Chick was an experience. They had the big specials board with rotating waffles, desserts, and seasonal items. Their chicken and waffles never missed. I honestly can't remember ever leaving disappointed. So this review is really hard for me. Back on June 26th, after work, my mom and I decided to grab dinner. I work in the LES, and she suggested Sweet Chick. I did tell her my brother Robert had gone recently and said it had changed a lot, but we figured we'd see for ourselves. We got there around 9-ish. The first thing we noticed... It was HOT. Not warm. Hot. Like, "why does it feel like a sauna in here?" hot. We've had enough hot weather this summer, so walking into a restaurant with little to no air conditioning was honestly uncomfortable. We actually debated leaving before we even ordered, but decided to stick it out. Unfortunately... it never got better. The service also wasn't what I remembered. I'm really big on customer service, and Sweet Chick has always had amazing service whenever I've gone. This time it just felt different. The attentiveness wasn't there, and the overall vibe just felt... off. Even the menu has changed. My mom used to love their kale salad, but now it's made differently with things like dates, and she wasn't interested in it anymore. For drinks, my mom ordered an espresso martini, and unfortunately she really didn't enjoy it. It was pretty bitter, and we couldn't quite figure out what was off about it. If I'm ordering an espresso martini, I have certain expectations, and this one just didn't hit for her. I ordered the Queen of New York, and I actually really enjoyed my drink. No complaints there. Now... the food. I ordered the Maple Chipotle Chicken & Sweet Potato Waffle. And this is where my heart really broke. Years ago, when they first introduced the sweet potato waffle as a special, I remember it actually tasting like sweet potato. This one... Honestly just tasted like a regular waffle. I kept looking for that sweet potato flavor, and it just wasn't there. The chicken itself was crispy and cooked well, but the maple chipotle sauce wasn't evenly coated. Some bites were really good, while other pieces were dry because they barely had any sauce on them. Another thing longtime Sweet Chick fans might notice is the butter service. I remember getting three or four different flavored butters, each in their own little container. This time we got two flavors together in one cup. It's a small thing, but it was one of those details that always made Sweet Chick feel special. My mom ordered the Carolina BBQ Chicken with the Grilled Corn Waffle. I'll be fair--her waffle absolutely tasted like a corn waffle. I tried it, and it was really good. She enjoyed her meal more than I did, although she also had a few pieces of chicken that weren't evenly coated with sauce and were a little dry. Overall, she thought it was okay. And I think that's really the word for this visit. Okay. Not terrible. But not the Sweet Chick we remembered. Maybe that's why this visit hit me so hard. When you've loved a place for years, you naturally compare it to what you know it can be. I genuinely hope this was just an off night because I have so many great memories here, and I'd honestly love to come back one day and have the Sweet Chick experience that made me fall in love with it in the first place. Because this restaurant has meant a lot to me over the years, and I'm rooting for it. I really am.

Slow down. Be Present. Show gratitude…read more After a failed shopping attempt and noticing how optimal the weather was on this sunshiny, low-humidity Aug 29th, it only convinced me to take my time and hang out in the city a little longer. While walking around the Flatiron district, I came across The Smith. This New Yorker only knew about the Midtown East location, so I was quite happy to take this opportunity to walk in and grab a seat at the bar. Adam, my server, greeted me with such welcoming enthusiasm, he filled the mood perfectly with lively and accommodating energy, that I felt immediately comfortable during my solo dine. I couldn't help but absorb the inviting atmosphere of my surroundings, as well as people watch while others appeared to do the same. This moment literally gave me time to relax and smell the roses...blessed. Moving on to my review. The Smith has so many diverse, new American dishes. No wonder others enjoy this mini-chain of restaurants. Dishes I noticed on the menu were the Smoked Salmon Potato Waffle, Baked Eggs alla Vodka, Benedict Johnny, Potato Chips with Blue Cheese and Onion Fondue, just to name a few. I kept it simple and ordered a light, yet filling bite of the Spicy Salmon Tartare. This appetizer lived up to its name...it was deliciously rich and spicy. I need to go back to try some of their other comfort offerings. So I'm planning my next solo dining experience or if someone wants to tag along, to relive my experience at this American Brasserie called The Smith.

Aside from Thanksgiving dinner I've experienced at The Smith for two consecutive years, this…read morebusiness is a solid and fun go-to restaurant for brunch, lunch and dinner. I visited the Nomad spot equally compared to their Lincoln Center address, not to mention their Midtown East Side location a couple times as well. There's also a 4th, in the East Village which I haven't visited. Finally, they secured a space in Times Square for their upcoming 5th NYC location. A recent and gorgeous summer day allowed us to make a later lunch pit stop here. Sitting semi outdoors (indoors but with all floor windows/door open), it almost felt like al fresco dining. We had twin meals. I couldn't pass up on their veggie burger with all "the works". By veggie, it included mushrooms, Kale, Quinoa, jalapeño and more. The works topped this delicious burger with a special sauce, pickles, tomatoes and onions. So very good. The shoestring, crispy Fries AND the Captain Lawrence beer on draft was the best marriage to the excellent burger. Since the space is large, it always tends to get noisy but, yup, I'm a huge The Smith fan!

This time, we decided to try and plan a little earlier by making rezzies wherever we could. I thought EO didn't offer drinks only slots, but my girlfriend said they do offer them as lounge reservations so she booked it. Unfortunately she didn't read the fine print and we ended up with food rez. We had a dinner reservation right after, so oops! Oh well. At least sales tax is included in all their pricing. And I'm always down to try food items. Honestly, it was a rainy cold Tues night, so we probably just coulda walked in. But we've failed in the past so better safe than sorry. I initially went to their Singapore location about 7ish years ago. I dragged the hubby on a cocktail crawl. I remember this spot being one of my favs so I wanted to visit it when in NYC. Just like last time, I thoroughly enjoyed the Manhattan, spirit forward and balanced. Food wise, I thought everything was fine. Nothing was too large to share between the four of us. I especially enjoyed the truffle grilled cheese. I was pescatarian at the time so didn't try the marrow, but everyone seemed to really enjoy that dish. Glad I finally got to come here. Just don't make a reservation if you only want drinks. REVIEW #4009
