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!

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.

3 words what. the. fuck…read more first things first I drove 35 minutes from the Bronx for this fuckass tomato soup. I enter the premises and is immediately welcomed by the attitude of the female cashier. I genuinely felt bad for the kind man she was speaking to cause all he wanted was his order that didn't go through because their WiFi was down. Moving on I go to order the tomato soup I hungrily drove miles for to find out they are out. I was slightly disappointed but what pushed me to the brink was the woman's venomous comment after about not knowing when they were going to get soup. I'm sorry? I just wanted to know... Furthermore she proceeds to blankly stare at me as if I just cursed her entire existence in Latin. I wish I was able to acquire my order as they seemed not only to be out of soup but pretty much everything. No hate to the establishment itself but we need to do better.

People were friendly, and didn't mind waiting. I got the combo which consisted of grilled cheese bites and tomato basil soup. I wished to soup was a bit hotter. The grilled cheese was very hot, so that was a good thing. It was nicely toasted and had a good crunch. 4/5 (only because the soup was warm) Til we eat again...

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!

If there were a footrest bar at the bottom it might've helped, but as it was, my butt was not fitting on that seat. I basically had one foot on the floor and one on my friend's chair just to keep myself from sliding off. Graceful! We ordered two espresso martinis and a slice of tiramisu. Both were absolutely lovely and the perfect way to end the night. The staff were friendly, fast, and really on top of things. Next time I'd definitely come for a table, and maybe a proper meal, because the dishes coming out of the kitchen looked divine. My only gripe? Seventeen dollars for an espresso martini feels... ambitious for Ridgewood. It's not like this is some high-end cocktail bar, it's an elevated pizzeria. I'm not sure I'd come back specifically for the drinks, but I'd absolutely come back for the food and the service. I took home a second piece of that tiramisu. It was so delicious!

We went before a show and were more than excited to hear that it was Sinatra Night! Hell yeah. I love Frank Sinatra. What a perfect date night. The band also played songs from Elvis Costello and the Carpenters. I noticed some older gentleman came to watch them. He drove to the show and ordered a hefty size of creamy pasta. This guy is my hero. We ordered the calamari to start. And Nick had a Birra Morreti and I had the "Diesel" cocktail that had the perfect amaro mix! The cocktail was balanced with sweet, strong and still remained smooth. The mushroom "Funghi" pizza was banging. I loved seeing the whole mushrooms on top. And the pesto marries well with the flavors. We devoured our decadent date night meal while time traveling to a different era with the tunes. Highly recommend having an intimate dinner here or get a little group going. The best was leftover pizza for breakfast!

I came here my first time visit in May 2021 and there were few items on the menu, that are Italian sandwich and there were little or no choices for breakfast, and the breakfast hours had no limit, until this year 2023, as I ate her "breakfast" ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich at 5 in the afternoon. And also, that was how she ran out of ingredients for breakfast sandwich, which now in 2023 limited the sales of breakfast sandwiches to opening time thru 2 in the afternoon. Also, until I had my promotion on my part time job which started in February 2023, I stopped going to this place due to the rising prices inflation and went someplace else where is cheaper. So I can get used to the expenses, and therefore as I expected, it definitely will be nice if this store can innovate to sell more various types of Italian food imported from anywhere of European country- not only from Italy.

I've been searching all over the city for the best croissants and Sofia is definitely up there and under the radar! Too bad I was eating pretty healthy before I came here... I live in Whitestone and we have some cute Italian markets very close to where I live, but I will definitely be back to Sofia next time I'm in Ridgewood to try out some other items on the menu!! Would definitely like to try some drinks and other items.
