The venue itself is art deco style, kept immaculately clean (including the restrooms). I had the Grilled Chicken sandwich with avocado and aioli sauce, with Tuscan fries (house cut I'm told) both of which were very good. The wife had the Honey Chicken Ginger Salad and we both agreed that it was excellent. Our server, Jenny, deftly handled the full bar, the bar dining area, and the drink orders for the entire restaurant. There was a dessert special of Italian Lemon Cake offerred, but unfortunately, I couldn't convince my wife to split it. The prices were very reasonable, and the food was very good. We'll definitely come back.

It slightly pains me to write this review, as my first experience at Cosimo's was soooooo good…read more Let's get on with it tho. We visited on the Friday before V-day, the house was packed around 18:30. The wait was 45 mins which wasn't too bad for a Friday night. We decided to wait in the lobby after trying to find a cozy waiting spot near the bar and missing. My wife attempted to order me a mocktail, but of course the bar was crazy busy. When the bartender finally acknowledged her, the mocktail requests obviously threw the bartender for a loop because I ended up with watered down ginger beer and a sprig of mint. My advice for anyone looking for a virgin drink at this bar would be to order a club soda with lime and call it a night. We were seated at the 45 min mark, and were escorted to the packed bar, where they have some exterior tables for diners. My seat was in the middle of the couch split, which I found mighty uncomfortable so we opted to request a seat in the main dining room, which the staff happily obliged. With dinner we ordered hot tea and were given lukewarm water and a choice of Stash teas. Our beverage experience here was very disappointing. The calamari arrived and may have been the only highlight, although we didn't find it to have that fresh calamari texture. My wife ordered a ravioli with mushroom, and felt the pasta and veggies were just swimming in butter. I ordered my steak medium and it was okay, but the juices from the greens made the croquettes soggy, and unenjoyable. The server did his best, and all the staff here are so kind. Coulda been an off night but I doubt we'll be back anytime soon. The Mocktail Madam.

This added so much to the overall experience. When eating there remember this is a learning environment so overlooking or being patient is important. The Calamari was perfectly fried with a slightly spiced tomato sauce. 19/10 Since the day was cold and rainy, I ordered the Tomato soup special. Creamy with well balanced basil notes from a basil oil and whole leaf. 9/10 The student who waited on us recommended a sandwich from the walk-in side of the dining area. The kitchen was gracious and agreed to make it for my husband. It was the star of the meal! Made from the sourdough pizza dough, it was layered with a perfectly fried chicken cutlet, arugula, fresh heirloom tomatoes, melted cheese, and a sauce!! The layers of flavors did exploded with each bite and was the best sandier have had in a long time! 10/10 The PEI Mussels were underwhelming despite the generous portion. What would have made the dish is more sauce, 7/10 The Zeppoli's were superb and again the recommendation to add a side of vanilla bean ice cream was spot on. Warm, pillowy and rich chocolate flavor enhanced by a warm milk chocolate sauce. Add a layer of vanilla ice cream and chefs kiss! 10/10

Our dinners came with salad or soup and we both opted for the salad. It was so fresh and delicious. Hubby ordered the 12 oz filet mignon medium rare and he loved it. It was perfectly cooked but he probably could've gone for the 8 oz because he was super stuffed! I had the Chicken Francese with linguini. The chicken was SO tender and the pasta was al dente which was perfectly cooked. The only thing I would say is that I wish it was more lemony. All in all, we both enjoyed our dinners. We were seated in the patio area which is not my first choice. It is cold!!! But they had live music so it was okay. We've had dinner in the patio in December and never again!

Plus coming here worked nicely- bc on this particular day, another rest'nt we wanted to go to ended up being temporarily closed for renovations, End C. is inviting with the bar off to the right and a few tables. The main dining room on the left gets cozier with dim lighting, has a romantic feel and even a grand piano that really adds to the vibe. My halibut with a tomato-"lobster sauce" was nice- but I wish the sauce had more of a lobster flavor or had some lobster chunks since that's how it was described. Hubs enjoyed his medium ribeye though. The service was great from start to finish and I loved the strawberry sorbet palate cleanser- such a nice touch.The cocktails totally knocked me off my feet and definitely one of the highlights of the night. End C. is a cozy steakhouse if you're celebrating something special or just looking for a nice dinner spot.

If you love gyros, run don't walk, to this low key place in Hyde Park. After touring FDR's house…read moreand museum we wanted a simple dinner. We also had been chasing a good gyro all summer. Initially, we ordered two gyros and fries, but the girl behind the counter suggested we get the "make your own" plate, so we did. We got a lot of shaved meat, two pitas, tzatziki, fries, and salad. The salad was a real salad (with feta, olives, and dressing) not just the lettuce, onions, and tomatoes that go on the gyro. The meat was shaved (not a patty), the bread was delicious and soft (didn't break while we ate it), and the salad and dressing were fantastic. I can't speak to the pizza, although other people were eating it and it looked good, but the gyros and service were fantastic!! This "hole in the wall" was amazing: Don't skip it if you are visiting Hyde Park, NY!!

The pizza was solid--nothing mind-blowing, but they do have a couple of creative combos that stand out from the usual fare. The sauce was surprisingly good--nicely balanced with a little tang and sweetness. Unfortunately, the crust didn't hold up as well. It lacked structure and tended to fall apart, which made for a bit of a messy slice. Not a destination spot, but worth checking out if you're nearby and in the mood for something casual with a little personality.
