Cobb salad
Catwoman O.

Came with my hubby for a date night. We were seated pretty quickly the back room wasnt that crowded. Waitress came over right away. Order our drinks then ordered our food which was a cobb salad n wings and some sweet potatoe fries. It was 6:20 when we was seated, so the place started getting a but crowded. Our waitress was very attentive to us. When our food came at 8:00pm kinda long wait for food. Really appetizers. It was delish and it was worth the wait. It was really very tasty. The salad was so fresh. The bacon cooked prefect. The room was very cozy. We enjoyed our dinning there and will be returning.

Dry, meat tasted old. You could barely bite them. We threw an entire order in the trash.

Horrible experience. Horrible customer service. Placed a substantial order of $55+tax+delivery fee. Chicken wing sampler ($23), steakhouse burger ($12), mac and cheese ($13), French onion soup ($5), ginger ale ($2). Food came 50 minutes over estimated wait time. Was cold. First of all chicken wings were inedible and they all ended up in the trash. They were dry like I've never seen before. Texture of a bad jerky. You could barely bite them. Meat tasted old. Burger was ordered medium, it came well done, dry. Bacon, and the sauce on it were good. Mac and cheese had no flavor. It was just a bechamel sauce with some cheese. You could taste the flour and the milk more than any of the "four" cheeses. I dont order from a restaurant to be doing the cooking for them. I did add some pepper, nutmeg, cayenne, and salt. Broiled it to a nice crispy top. This saved it, but again, I shouldn't be doing that. Onion soup had an okay flavor, good amount of cheese. It was however too oily, and they put the croutons right into the soup so by the time it is delivered expect a soggy mess. Ginger ale was the best part of the meal. But even here they manage to mess it up. I ordered a 16oz, it came in a small cup (probably around 8 oz) and filled with ice cubes to the brim. So three sips of ginger ale were the highlight of this meal. Naturally, I called eat24 for a refund. Manager was not there. They said to call them during the week. Called the following weekday, again, manager was not there. Eat24 representative said that as soon as he said he's calling from eat24 they instantly said that the manager is not at work. I hope you won't make the same mistake and order from this overpriced "restaurant".

Awesome service and maybe if you are lucky you will find cepelinai or zeppelins available at the end of the month. This is a national Lithuanian dish! Cute cozy clean place! I will be back!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Fine dining in my own hood and a James Beard finalist. The nomination is so well…read moredeserved. My fellow yelpie Jeannie has been raving about their duck à la pressie for ages and we finally organized an outing so she can share her love of Tourmaline and the duck with us. Thank you Jeannie. The duck in itself deserves an award. You can tell that Yvan the head chef and owner has put so much detail into creating this magnificent dish for his customers. From picking the perfect farm to order the duck from in PA, to purchasing the machinery for churning out the sauce from the bones and internals of the duck, to incorporating different aspects of duck preparations from different cultures (French Normandy, Chinese roast duck) and teaching to Daniel in the city for some tips. You know Yvan has put his heart and soul into this one dish. I love how this dish is prepared table side by the chef himself with so many different stories and presentations. He starts off the duck with a serving of the perfect tot crispy skin served with his seasonal sauce. We had rhubarb. We were the stars of the room with everyone envying us. I can't recommend this experience enough. Worth every penny! In addition to the duck, we ordered some apps, salad and a fish dish. The seasonal cocktail Noveau Peach so refreshing and delish and dessert wine was a perfect accompaniment to the desserts. The atmosphere or the restaurant was cozy and high end. Lots of couples on cute romantic dates. The owners Yvan and Rebecca are the sweetest. I met Rebecca at our building bbq that they catered and she was just so lovely. Mentioned to her that we were going to see her the following week and she remembered me. Definitely check out Tourmaline. A true gem in FH and so happy to have them here.

I'm usually more of a smash burger kind of guy, but the steakhouse style burger was quite flavorful. My only complaint about the burger is that it had no sauce or condiments at all on it. The bacon mac and cheese was also quite nice. The bad: It was pretty overheated in the restaurant, and really humid. The only thing in the restaurant to help with the heat was one big fan at the back. Unfortunately, it was blowing directly on one table of guests back there, and not really doing much for the rest of the people in the restaurant.

Being someone who fancies a good burger on occasion, I decided to check it out, and was not disappointed. On Tuesdays they offer a $20 burger and beer special. The burger was flavorful, and cooked to a perfect medium rare as I asked. If I had a small gripe, I would have preferred fries to chips on the side, but the chips were pretty good. The overall atmosphere here was cool. I'm not a horror enthusiast by any stretch, but the decor was unique and made for an experience that you don't get at many other places. The bartender (Ellie?) was very nice, and made me feel welcome, which some bars don't often do for first time customers. I'll be back in the not too distant future.

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

My highs: the wagyu skirt steak with butter was charred just right, and I liked the taste of that salted caramel chocolate mousse. As a neighborhood spot, this does a perfect job of serving as a date night spot, or a place I could bring extended family, or even a place where I could bring young kids, based on the two tables near us that featured couples with their young children. I never love restaurants that serve entrees without sides, so it was really strange ordering the steak and having it NOT come with fries or a veggie on the side. Also, likely because we came in for a 9:30 reservation, service was a little too fast for my liking; our server came by a couple more times than needed to grab our dinner order, so we were essentially done at Rolo's within an hour. Next time, I'll be more explicit to slow down our order or to try and create some distance so that we don't feel a little rushed. Otherwise, great vibes and a great time. Looking forward to a return visit before I hit Nowadays the next time I'm in town!

After ordering, you need to wait 15 minutes before your sandwich is out - at least there's a lot of searing inside so you can definitely enjoy your sandwich inside!! Got the two most popular sandwiches - dill party and chicky. - dill party (4.5/5): this sandwich was almost perfect - the only thing it was missing was the crunch factor. The bread could have been slightly more toasted (it was a bit soft and didn't have a crunch), there could have been more pickled, or the addition of chips in the sandwich, but other than that, the ingredients of the sandwich were so fresh and the turkey was perfect - not dry at all, not too much as it may seem - chicky (4.5/5): this sandwich was a bit heavier. the bread was cooked a bit better but could have been a bit more toasted, but the chicken meatball - holy moly this was perfect. it was so soft and juicy and full of flavor Overall, this sandwich spot is definitely worth the trek and visit to try it out. the only thing that would make it 5 stars is just slightly more toasted sandwiches :)

I read about this restaurant opening as one of the new contender's joining Ridgewood's cohort of…read more"woke-ish" restaurants and, while filling the role as a civic business to bring in something fresh and truly, exciting business to the community, I was a bit underwhelmed with the whole experience- from waiting a good 45 minutes to receive my order of what seemed to be a Boar's Head Turkey cold-cut sandwich with about a cup of dill mayo and to having to actually bus my own plate on top of the overrun pile of dishes stacked atop each other at the entrance of the restaurant, I felt a bit hollow in my expectations from what I espoused earlier during my hearing word of this restaurant not too long ago. As far as the dining area- The restaurant was spacious, composed of neatly lined tables and chairs with their centerpiece luncheonette bar gracing the room. Their al fresco arrangement was remarkable- with their lighter hued blue and green colored metallic seats and tables quietly lining the corner of Menahan street. A softboi haven. I imagined this to be a type of restaurant where a newlywed Mormon couple in the Great Plains would run. A place where pleasantries and support for one's neighbor is what mattered. "Another delicious sandwich, Hezekiah. See you guys in church." but truthfully, I felt a bit sour overriding my preference for the reliable in favor for the novel. A half chicken over yellow rice with plantains might have been the better option for my pocket, palate, and my need to protein max. But woe is me. Regardless, I'll have to respectfully pass on seconds at the Salty Lunch Lady's.
