Cheese Pizza and Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Sara M.

The pizza was good i especially liked the buffalo chicken pizza and the mozzarella sticks !! The place was nice, clean & not too loud or overcrowded, our waitress was nice as well, very helpful.

Service on 8/1 in the evening was horrible. Food took forever to come out and waitress barely bothered to check on us. We wanted a NY strip and they were out. Then they were out of glasses so they had to bring us drinks in two smaller glasses. Food was decent, but not great. Took about 10 minutes just to get the check. Still gave herself 18% gratuity which was included in the bill. Very disappointed as this place looked like it was going to be pretty good based on the reviews.

This was my first time visiting this Italian restaurant with friends, located in Scarsdale. The ambiance was chill, they had great seating options and it seems like a good place to celebrate a special occasion. The food was authentic and the prices were affordable which made the experience better. For my main dish I ordered the pappardelle bolognese which is a ribbon style pasta that comes with meat tomato sauce, the pasta was fresh and had a great balance of flavor. The meat was chunky and the portions were generous, and I paired it with a prosecco. We also got a chicken parm pizza, the pizza had a lot of flavor and a thick crust. The staff was attentive and super friendly. They didn't rush us out, which I really appreciated. I was able to sit and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. This place impressed me, the food was amazing, the vibe was welcoming, and the prices were very reasonable.

I really wanted to love this place. I am always in Ridge Hill & just never decided to give it a try until the other day. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The service was good, We decided to sit outside since it was nice out. Unfortinitly Happy Hour prices are only at the bar. FOOD: Meatballs & Ricotta: We decided to send the meatballs back they had a weird taste to them and were pretty cold in the middle. Garlic Parmigiano Wings: We asked for the wings to be extra crispy, fried twice. We didn't know they would be in a bed of sauce. They did come out last but they definitely weren't crispy enough. We barely tasted the wings. Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza: The pizza was the best thing arugula & prosciutto were fresh. Fries: We loved the fries DRINKS: We tried the Watermelon Spritz + Last Dance both were really good. We did end up sitting at the bar after closing our tab since a friend wanted to grab a salad. She loved her usual Arugula Apple salad. I tried the Sangria at the bar and it was pretty good. All in all we did enjoy the Pizza so I would stick to the pizza if we decide to come back.

Wings
Hagar E.

The food was very delicious, we enjoyed the margarita pizza the most tbh it took us back to Italy (although we never been there). The salad was ok and the mozzarella sticks are the only reason this is not a 5 star review. The buffalo wings were very good, my little brother is very picky and loved them. Service was excellent, our server Brittany went above and beyond with her care and she alone deserves a 5 star review. I even lost one of my ear buds and she found it and kept it aside for me til the next day! She's amazing. The ambiance is very chill and quiet, dim lighting and we sat at the booth inside it was drizzling slightly but they have seating outside as well. Definitely give it a shot if ur in the area

Apple arugula salad
Kay F.

Hidden spot. Went in on a friday evening at the tail end of happy hour. Sat at the bar and waa immediately greeted. The server informed me that happy hour was ending soon. My order: spicy mango wings, mango public drink and the apple arugula salad. Wings came really quickly. Flavorful, sauce which was really good. Portion was large. Issue i had was the wings were not a crispy. They were very light bordering white under the sauce. Wings were cooked but could have been done more and also wasn't seasoned. Wrong was good but had it been seasoned, done crisper would have been so good. The drink was really good just as. Salad was with arugula. The apple wasn't crispy crunchy but soft crunchy. Presentation was really good, but needed some contrast such as a blue cheese or maybe a goat cheese. I also loved seeing the bartender cleaning continually.

Shrimp Scampi

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! They brought us to a table outside then forgot about us. Twenty minutes in, I went inside to remind them that I was outside waiting. Our waitress came and took our orders. I can tell she was somewhat new so I won't put all of the blame on her. The manager came to check on us and questioned if I came inside first or just sat outside. He figured that was the reason it took so long but I corrected him. Then another 15 minutes later, the wrong food was brought to our table. Then 10 minutes after that the shrimp scampi I ordered was supposed to come with spinach but was placed in front of me with linguini. When I told the waiter it was supposed to be spinach not pasta, he said ok...but then never came back. 20 minutes into the meal and after my son was almost done eating, the waitress came out to check on us and I told about the wrong food. She apologized and I said to just go ahead and send me the correct dish in a to-go box. She was very apologetic so it was hard to stay angry with her. Then when my to-go box came it looked like shrimp and spinach soup (see attached picture). When the waitress came back another 20 minutes later, I asked her for the check and to speak to a manager. The assistant manager came out and stated that they were switching over to new management and that things would be better. I showed him the meal that they boxed up for me and he was very disappointed. He even asked to take a picture so he could show his staff. He then began to say that the meal looked like soup because it was in the wrong container. Smh. He asked if I would be coming back to give them another chance and I told him absolutely not because the service and clearly the food was horrible. (My son's medium well salmon was tough and almost tasteless as if there wasn't enough seasonings.) As I was leaving, my watch confirmed that I just spent one hour and 20 minutes waiting for calamari, salmon with spinach, and an uneaten shrimp with spinach. The assistant manager offered to bring us refills on our drink as we were leaving but didn't comp any portion of the meal even after such a horrible experience. I'm DONE WITH THIS PLACE!!! Never again!!!

This is my third time visiting this restaurant and I can say that I'm not disappointed. I make the effort to get the coffee expresso, which is amazing. The food is excellent especially the pizza.

Kids pepperoni pizza
Laura C.

I was very pleased at Public Pizza- I went on a date night with my 7 year old nephew who loves pizza- he got the kids pepperoni pie which came with bunny ears- I thought that was pretty cute and so did my nephew. It put a smile on my nephews face. And he devoured it! The place feels comfortable and relaxed. It is a great place to have dinner with family and friends since they have many other delicious choices.

Jennie S.

I think this Italian place is the cutest! It's a dim romantic setting and the food is great. We got an order of baked clams as an appetizer. It was wonderful but there were some shells in it that we had to spit out. The service was fast but not extremely friendly. I got the spaghetti carbonara and it was very good! My boyfriend loves the Alfredo pasta.

Arugula & Prosciutto Pizza
Tatiiana L.

Would've gave 5 stars but service is not good. Came here on a Saturday night for dinner with a group of 6. Walking in you smell the pizza so you know it smells amazing in here. We all decided to play it safe and try different pies. The pizza pies come with about 5-6 pieces and the pie is 12" round. The margheritta was hands down everyone's favorite. The prosciutto and arugula was also pretty tasty. The pepperoni pie was great. The only two pizzas I didn't taste were the regular and the margerita with an add on of chicken. But apparently they were also good. App ordered was calamari, which was perfectly fried and lightly breaded. And some cheesy garlic bread which was good as well. The vibe here is romantic and classy, with nice music. As for the service, it was beyond questionable!! The waitress we got interrupted me multiple times, when I asked for water for my sister in law she was quick to say she already got a sprite. & another girl who brought out my pizza said he's your "salami" pizza. Obvious that she's not knowledgeable about Italian cuisine what so ever. Embarrassing actually. We said salami ? This is prosciutto. She said yeah whatever it is and walked away. Service wasn't the best whatsoever but the food made up for it.

Located within the Ridge Hill courtyard space (#1), it is one of the only Mexican options in the area, which is only more helpful for their niche. Be it in the festive interior or the people-watching outdoor space, there is an excellent variety of dedicated spaces for groups big and small. They have TVs all along the interior showing sports and the bathrooms are clean. Service generally friendly, but a select few might be a it too invested in their phones. The food is Mexican'ish, but very little of it can be called authentic especially if they're serving empanadas, platanos, If it weren't obvious enough, this is not authentic Mexican food. Even calling it Mexican-inspired might be a tad of a reach, considering they also serve empanadas, tostones,, etc. Come for a good time, but don't make it about tacos and tequila. The food was expectedly a bit bland. There were some stale bits for large nachos, which had a good amount (perhaps, too much?) pico de gallo. Quesadillas were a very nice portion and good amount of stuffing. While I haven't tried their tacos, seeing as they put in copious amounts of lettuce, pico, and cotija cheese; I'm not particularly eager to do so. The enchiladas verdes was the priciest brunch option and certainly among the most hearty. The presentation was good and the chicken for the filling was the right choice. I was also able to grab some bites of the pancakes, which fared remarkably better. I now understand why avocado toast is an option on their brunch menu. I realize most folks are here for margaritas and a good time, but seeing as they're trying to also be a brunch option, I think folks might be better off focusing on the latter. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/ridge-hill-yonkers

For cocktails, I had the white sangria and my husband had the berry mojito. Both drinks were refreshing and well balanced, too pretty to drink! For tapas, we shared empanadas (angus beef, shrimp & chorizo, organic chicken), a tale of two countries (burrata, eggplant agrodolce, serrano ham) and land & sea (NY strip & sea scallops). We loved them all, so delicious and flavorful. For our entrees, we had the churrasco (char-grilled black angus skirt steak) and pollo gitano (organic chicken thighs, sweet sausage, hot cherry peppers). Also very good and beautifully presented, the pollo gitano had a little kick to it. For dessert, we had the churros con chocolate and flan, very tasty and perfect to end our dinner. Great date spot or casual outing with friends. You won't be disappointed. I'll absolutely be back.

The centerpiece of this restaurant in my opinion is the beautiful horse shoe shaped bar in the middle of the restaurant. I typically enjoy a nice clean and clear bar so you can fall into the feeling of the restaurant and see what is happening all around. This bar had bottles of wines lining the bar, in my opinion I would remove the bottles and allow for a more open feel. Personally I felt that the bottles created a barrier between me and the bar tender. The outside tables are tables typically for 2 or 4 people with banquet seating and then chairs. Oh, my God How's this boy treating you? Very good wonderful started The service was attentive but not over bearing which created a relaxed feeling.. I was looking for a wine and cheese bar for a night our for myself. I wanted a place that I have not been to before and yelp directed me here Wines on Aug range from 15 and up for a glass which is not outrageous in price. They had a nice selection of wines and I stepped out of ny own comfort zone of a cab and tried the house Pinot Noir accompanied by the B6 board. Overall I was satisfied with the meat and cheese selection and baguette that was served with it had a nice oil on it. Presentation was well done with one exception in my mind, the breads ticks came in a package. Presentation factor went down with that. Take one of the small wife carafe used to serve the wine and present it in that. Overall I felt something was missing but could not put my finger on it. Overall this place has a great date night vibe.

Only the finest restaurants truly know how to make Old Fashions and no one else makes a better one than the Sea Fire Grill. I love fried, crisp calamari and theirs was particularly good. My friend had colossal shrimp and loved it. I sampled one, and I concur with him. We each had the lobster bisque soup which was superb. The best I have ever had. I had the New York Sirloin which was mouthwatering It was so good that after each bite, I just sat back in my chair and savored it as I slowly chewed. For sides, I had the fingerling potatoes and shared the broccoli rabe. My friend had the roasted Mediterranean branzino, that he went crazy over. We topped everything off with a delicious chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. The does not even scratch the surface of what dining is like here. It is the ambiance, the beautiful, relaxing view of the Hudson River and the New York and New Jersey shorelines. It is the knowledge each worker has about the food and drinks served. Inside, the restaurant's decor...well, you will not find it better anywhere else. I cannot wait to return in the fall when the setting sun turns the Hudson orange. Excellent restaurant and staff.

Beautiful room, beautiful views, and a kitchen that can't back either up…read more We arrived to a mostly empty dining room with gorgeous Hudson River views. After being offered a table in the center of the empty room, we asked for a window table and were seated at a four-top. Then the disorganization started: we were asked about water preference, handed a drink menu, and left for a good five minutes with no food menus while several waiters stood idle nearby. When our waiter arrived, he seemed surprised our reservation was for two, cleared the extra settings, and brought menus -- one of which was missing the appetizer page entirely. The food was hit-or-miss, mostly miss. The bright spots: an excellent mocktail, very good jumbo shrimp cocktail (nice touch serving remoulade, mignonette, and caper berries), and broccoli rabe that was legitimately the best thing on the table -- perfectly cooked, garlic and red pepper spot on. Now the rest. The Kumamoto oysters weren't served as cold as they should be, and one was fishy. My girlfriend's cocktail was mediocre. Her halibut had a mealy texture, and the gnocchi and fava beans alongside it were underseasoned. My $165 tomahawk arrived visibly overcooked -- enough that our waiter told the server to skip the usual tableside butter-basting to avoid cooking it further. I didn't send it back because my girlfriend's food was already down and I didn't want to eat alone twenty minutes later. Each slice had a half-inch gray band around the edge with only a narrow strip of medium-rare in the center. It carried an aged smell and flavor, but not the clean, nutty character of a properly dry- or wet-aged steak. For that price point, this cut should be the kitchen's signature. It wasn't close. The lobster mac was the low point: the lobster meat tasted fishy -- something I've rarely encountered anywhere -- and the dish had a dried-out crust suggesting it sat under a heat lamp before reaching us. Dessert, a lava cake, was genuinely delicious. Telling that the best course of the night was the one most likely not made in-house. Service throughout was disjointed: my empty drink was never addressed, and after dessert we sat roughly ten minutes before flagging someone down for the check. On the way out, I spoke with the two managers standing near the entrance -- making clear upfront that I wasn't seeking comps or special treatment, just giving honest feedback since I was unlikely to return. One manager simply stood and listened. The other, who introduced himself as "the boss," told me I should have spoken up during the meal, assured me they have a strong following with famous clientele, and disputed our initial wait time despite not having been in sight when it happened. Meanwhile, our waiter stood conspicuously within earshot listening to the conversation rather than tending his tables. Worth noting: we learned the same group runs Benjamin Steakhouse in Hartsdale, where I've had a similarly mediocre experience. The consistency across locations tells you this isn't an off night -- it's the standard. If you want to pay Manhattan steakhouse prices for inconsistent food and disorganized service -- with a great view -- this is your place. We won't be back.
