Their food was freshly prepared , had the chicken shwarma over rice and their lamb kebab on a wrap. Both were piping hot but sadly lacked flavor. The rice pilaf served was white rice with vermicelli which was cooked well but unflavored. Meats were bland. They would benefit from adding sauce options. The spinach pie was very soggy and their kunefa was either overcooked or stale. No frills quick bites spot with much potential. The grocery section had a nice variety of snack items for the road.

My wife and I have been coming to this excellent establishment for years and it is one of our…read moreall-time favorites. Last night for Valentine's Day, we totally enjoyed Italian cuisine at its best! We started with the delicious shrimp chowder which had an abundance of tender shrimp cooked to perfection in a delightful cream sauce. But that was only the beginning! My wife ordered the eggplant over pasta which was outstanding and made the way my Sicilian grandmother would have made it! Next up, I ordered the bone-in Veal Choppette with mozzarella over a bed of pasta which totally lived up to - and exceeded my expectations. Thought I died and went to veal heaven. The chop was abundant and tender - it was absolute Perfection on a plate! We finished off these culinary delights with cappuccino with a side of Sambucca Romana and Tia Maria plus a serving of crème brûlée cheesecake to end the evening. Tony and Joanne D'Amelio as well as the entire staff always make us feel comfortable and welcome and know how to treat their guests. If I could give Verdi 10 stars I would! If you're looking for a first-class restaurant serving outstanding fare, look no further than Verdi!

I spoke to the owner whose bartender turned down all of my groups ID's who were 21+ and told us they were fake. The owner couldn't help us at all and refused to look at our ID's. The actual hostess at the restaurant was 21+ and had the same ID. I'm sorry that I don't have my passport and own scanner to prove my age, the workers and owner at this restaurant are incompetent and I will not be going back.

It's been a long time since I've walked into this diner. That being said, this did used to be a…read morehaunt my mom and I would go to sometimes for breakfast. I went alone today because I needed to pick a place for breakfast and get some sustenance in my body because I know I'm gonna need it. I'm working a side quest later today and I had time before my train came. There's not much to this diner, but it does kind of have an old-timey feel to it which is not at all a bad thing in this case. The lighting gives off a vibe that this place might have been more posh in a time long ago. But I think what really factors into my rating today is the customer service because all the employees I came across today here were super chill and nice. One of them took the time to notice I was wearing a fundraiser shirt and we talked a little bit about Tom Petty which was nice. One bit that might make you readers chuckle is that my waitress asked out of the blue if I vlog. I said no and she remarked I looked like I would be good at it. I smiled at that because little did they know I write reviews here on Yelp and I was not about to let them know that. On top of all that, service was very quick. In fact, it was quick enough to make me think twice about paying another visit to Spirit Cafe in the future. I was greeted immediately (I decided on a bar seat since I was by myself), they got my food out real quick, I got my coffee almost right after I ordered, and they even took care to bring out the syrup in advance with my coffee. Also, prices are very reasonable. For what I had today, my price was $12.29, which for 2026 is pretty good when you consider that breakfast was a full stack of french toast with a side of bacon. There is a $10 credit card minimum, but since I had a food order this time around I didn't mind that as much this time around. As for the food, coffee was good. I was given the full stack, sliced in half with butter to spread around, and 3 strips of bacon. And before any weirdos decide to judge me, yes I do put syrup on my bacon. Might as well since I'm having something such as french toast. The bacon was crispy and seasoned well. Where I do have a slight criticism for was the french toast. I usually do not like to see the egg whenever I am served this breakfast, and I was able to see the egg used in this order. It was also a little on the soggy side, but not too bad. It was an overall satisfying breakfast that will help tie me over to lunch and/or dinner. Honestly, even though my rating here is a 4, it really should be a 4.5 and that is what I would actually give it if half-stars were a thing. The customer service was excellent enough that you can't really go wrong with either rating here. I will gladly return another chance I get.
