We sampled all 3 of the red wines they offered before deciding on one and buying a bottle. Bottle prices are fair enough, but these aren't high end wines. We ordered the mussels appetizer here again as it was awesome last time... And it was awesome again! So delicious. The hummus bowls were ok. We're generally not wow'd with these, but when combined with an appetizer and their complimentary dip with pita, it's all filling enough. The air felt a bit stagnant here again and then some customer must have said something because they finally turned on their house air conditioning. It felt so much more comfortable at that point, but we were already almost done with our meal. Service was great. They also charge a 3% credit card fee or offer a 4% discount if paying with cash. A mixed bag of penalty and incentive.

It was busy and with outdoor seating, people had a long wait just to sit down. It's a small place so in a weekend be prepared to wait a long time! The food was good. I gave it 3 stars because the lady (I guess she was the manager rudely told us to leave as there are people waiting to sit down. She could have spoken to us differently and we had just finished eating. Especially since she made us wait close to an hour for our food, she could've been nicer. The wait staff was pilot and pleasant. But she wasn't. Unless you're willing to wait and wait and have the manager tell you to leave rudely, I would go somewhere else or go on a weekday. I will not be back. I've been treated better at a fast food joint.

Breakfast is served until 11:30 and they have a a few egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches and French toast. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and liked the egg, potatoes (mixture of white and sweet, which was nice), and toast except the toast was hard pieces of baguette ($10). The omelette with potatoes was a pretty plate and good even though the cheese was initially forgotten. They also have sandwiches, salads, burgers and pizza on the menu, the latter of which is made in a brick oven. The pastries didn't look that fresh or enticing but we didn't order any so can't comment on the quality. There's indoor and outdoor seating and service was very nice. They have a shared parking lot with other businesses and more parking out back. Very close to Hungry hollow food coop so make a stop there if you have time!

They carry dairy products from a farm across the street, local grains, cheeses, and bulk maple syrup from farms upstate. Beautiful bulk and produce sections. Hidden juice/smoothie bar in the back! I have watched this Co-op evolve over many years. They had some growing pains in the past (seems like any of the negative reviews are over 10 years old), but they must have taken feedback seriously, and consistently re-blossomed. They are now, again, my favorite place to find healthy food and a wonderful sense of community. Whole Foods is handy, but not cheap, and cannot compete with the amount of in-season local food available here. I love that we can have this option to support local farms, and keep our money in our regional community.

Organic, local items and produce. Kind owner. When we were there we saw a family come in with their young toddler. He immediately welcomed them and said I saved this for you! And it was a bag of unpackaged potatoes and a little empty basket on their produce shelf for him to go unpack. He was delighted and went over to do his big boy job. So cute!

So be aware there is quite a wait if you done in or out. Other than that the menu has enough items to satisfy someone's appetite. The portions are Huge! Not only the generous serving, what was more important is the quality of the food. I rate it an A!. I've been her only once and my sandwich the Old Faithful was so good...crispy chicken cutlet on a long roll with tomato lettuce, may & oil/vinegar! I'm so happy they have a sandwich the way I like it dressed. I have mayo and oil & vinegar on all the sandwiches I order. The tator tots also rocked. Overall the quality of the food was good...fresh and the chef uses locally sourced ingredients. I also ordered an iced latte with marshmallow flavor. I tasted a hint of toasted marshmallow in my drink. So good. I will come back and try other items. They are open for breakfast & lunch only. Staff is friendly and courteous. You'll get treated well here. It's a small cafe, probably good for about 30 people. It's clean and charming. Highly recommended.

Bellissimo: Please Stop Rushing Us!…read more Bellissimo is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I've probably eaten here close to 100 times over the last 15+ years, and I probably take my family here a couple times per month. The food is good, prices are fair and you absolutely can't beat their lunch special deal (soup, salad and your entree for a set price). However, I was somewhat annoyed after my last visit. It was our last lunch before sending my daughter off to college. We were eating our first course, the soup, when someone came over to anxiously clear off plates. Two people finished their soup, but another two were still eating at the table. This drives me nuts. I wish they'd just wait until everyone finishes a course before clearing. What happened next is what set me over the edge. People came out with our salads and one guy was trying to take my daughter's soup away while she was still eating it. After we stopped him, he then wanted to just squeeze it on the table beside her. Sheesh. I was so annoyed and didn't understand why they're rushing us. There were only 5 tables of customers there for lunch that day. What was the F'ing rush?! Our waiter, who has been there for years, blamed it on some new kitchen waiter they got. Regardless, it ruined the meal and we didn't even get the main courses yet. That general culture here of anxiously clearing plates away has always annoyed me. I wish they'd wait for everyone at the table to finish a course before clearing for the next one. I still love Bellissimo and will definitely be back. But please... let us eat!

As usual we brought 2 bottle of red and 1 of white wine. They were nice to chill the white wine for us. We ordered the fries calamari with the tomato sauce. I ordered from the special menu the stuffed pork chop on the bone, wow mind blowing. Mushroom, roasted potatoes, a big old chop stuffed with Mozzarella cheese in a tomato ragu. Totally delicious, and so big i think all we needed was a side of pasta to make it a winning dish. I end up ordering a full order of linguini in clam sauce aling with the chop and the wife and I ate like royalty!. The meal was excellent, the waiter was nice to bring us a bday platter with fresh stiffed mini cannoli !

They had everything ready at the exact time I needed. Gentleman behind the counter was professional. Loved the opportunity to order from multiple restaurants. We went with a Marc Murphy salad featuring dill and scallions, a Michael Symon spicy chicken souvlaki bowl, spicy tuna and salmon poke bowl, and a fried chicken sandwich and fries. All that and a couple of cans of soda for a reasonable $60ish. My wife and I shared the three bowls, all were enjoyable with the Michael Symon being a standout for us. That said, the Marc Murphy salad was fresh and the dill and scallions were delicious and the poke bowl featured tons of flavor and fresh fish. The Michael Symon bowl was filling and had a nice kick to it. My daughter enjoyed the Marcus Samuelson fried chicken sandwich and fries. We will certainly return!

I can simultaneously satisfy my conflicting food cravings, try new items/restaurants each time, or easily wrangle an order for a group of people who can't agree on anything. Pad Thai AND buffalo wings? Sure. Tacos and poke? Done. Now, the variety alone wouldn't win me over if the food were mediocre, but the quality is also for the most part very good. Everything from my previous review still stands, so consider this an update featuring more food photos and a highlight reel of some of my favorites so far (I haven't worked through the entire restaurant roster yet but have experienced a representative enough sample). My faves: 1. Wing Trip: consistently excellent wings. Probably the item I order most frequently. 2. Royal Greens: there don't seem to be any fast-casual salad chains in Rockland County, so I get my salad fix here. The greens are fresh and crisp, with plenty or Chef Creation options or you can opt for a custom bowl made according to your liking. The dressings are really good too. 3. Green curry from SriPraPhai: thick, garlicky curry gravy with just the right kick - a perfect "American medium spicy" that won't traumatize the timid. The pad Thai deserves a mention too: they use broad noodles for this, with a springy-chewy texture, and a more fragrant, complex flavor than your standard version. 4. Garlic parmesan mozzarella sticks from Alanza Pizza: a top seller and you can see why. These aren't just any sad, frozen diner mozzarella sticks you've had. My kid went wild for those. 5. Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding with wafer cookie bits: rich, classic and just a little bit extra, kinda like how I plan to age. 6. Chocolate pudding from Tejas Barbeque: unassuming in appearance but dangerously creamy, more mousse than pudding. As someone who's generally indifferent to both sweets and chocolate, I polished this off with relish. 7. Lastly, pork belly from Tejas Barbeque: PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!! I haven't seen it since the early days so can only assume it's been discontinued. Crackling skin, melt-in-your-mouth tender, shamelessly fatty and decadent. If you're a chicharrón fan, you'll love this deluxe upgrade. Since my last review, Wonder has added some new features that further expand your options: They now function like Seamless/Grubhub/DoorDash in that you can order from other local restaurants too. This can confuse the uninitiated, so if you only want the actual Wonder restaurants (you know, the whole reason you're here), click on the "Wonder Restaurants" button on top, or look for categories labeled "Made at Wonder." They've also partnered with Blue Apron, which is a pleasant surprise. I subscribed to BA's meal kits for a while when I lived in the city, as their offerings were more gourmet and interesting compared to competing meal kit delivery services like HelloFresh (though my absolute favorite was Plated, RIP). Haven't tried it through the Wonder app yet but nice to know it's there for those days you want to cook but don't feel like spending hours on meal planning/prepping. The orders are always super well packaged. Not every dish is a winner, but the hit rate is high enough to keep me coming back, and there's more here to like than not.
