I was so excited to catch up with a friend and he suggested the Parkview in Westfield, NY. I had…read morenever been and love to try new places. From the moment I pulled up to the restaurant from the moment I left - it was perfection. It was a chilly, rainy summer day - so we sat indoors. The restaurant has a small dining area - but that is part of the charm. We sat in the best seats in the house - right in the front windows. Westfield is a lovely little village and the park is right out the front window of the parkview. I like details, and the parkview did not disappoint on that level. The table was beautifully set and simply, tastefully decorated. The small, significant touches definitely made an impression on me. When my friend joined, he suggested the homemade chicken pot pie. The entire menu looked delicious and normally I wouldn't order a pot pie... but I trust my friend's palate and - he was right. Absolute deliciousness. I can't wait to come back and try something else. And the staff - wonderful, attentive, and kind.

Creamy Chicken Noodle and Smoked Gouda and Tomato. We could have eaten a gallon of each. Both were piping hot and bursting with flavor. Went on to order the Reuben that was loaded with corned beef and presented an amazing Swiss cheese pull. If we lived closer we'd come often. Do not miss this opportunity.

Quirky Spot With Charm, But Food Just Okay - Spent the day at the beach on Lake Erie in Barcelona,…read moreNY, and was starving afterward. A local friend recommended Jack's Barcelona, and I decided to give it a try. Let's just say it was exactly what I needed on that particular day, at that particular moment. I sat at the bar and marveled at the décor -- so much to look at! Normally this style isn't really my vibe, but that day it hit the spot. The place is quirky in all the right ways; I especially loved the pillows for sale with what felt like serendipitous life-guiding slogans. I ordered the chili and a baked potato -- comfort food at its simplest. Not particularly exciting, and honestly, nothing special about the flavors. The wait was long, but I realized it was likely because two tables of four were served first, and I was at the bar. That gave me plenty of time to explore the fun details around me. Overall, it's a lovely experience with plenty of character, but the food itself didn't fully captivate me. Three stars for the quirky charm and atmosphere, but I wouldn't call it a must-visit for the cuisine alone.

It's a true one-person operation--the owner is the hostess, cook, and waitress--and she does it all exceptionally well. The food is excellent, cooked to order, and very reasonably priced.

Once again, we had…read morefound ourselves passing through Westfield on a Monday night sheltered in an Airbnb looking for dinner. We discovered that many places are closed on Monday in town, but not Calarco's. We placed an order for pick-up and the service could not have been nicer. They even accepted plastic, unlike other establishments in town. Portions were huge, the rolls were warm and soft and savory, and that tomato sauce was unique, zesty, and something special. My wife had leftovers of her chicken piccata which she enjoyed; nothing was spared of my eggplant parm as I had to eat it all. Their homemade bleu cheese dressing I asked for with my side salad was so darn good. And to top everything off, we split their last slice of peanut butter pie which was truly an impressive gem. I have had many a pie or cake in fine dining restaurants, yet this particular pie was out of this world. Next time in Westfield, we will meet again, Calarco's.

The night started with a dinner reservation for 6 people to celebrate our friend's masters school…read moregraduation. The only thing that went smoothly was ordering our drinks and appetizers. We didn't have a chance to put our dinner orders in at this point. We ordered entrees right before the appetizers came out, which took a long time anyway, and then immediately after our appetizers and salads came out. We then proceeded to wait over an hour for our food with an inattentive server, no apology, and no explanation. When we asked about our food, we still didn't receive any sort of explanation as to why it was taking so long. Then once we got our entrees, the server brought our check very quickly and condescendingly told us that she knew we were in a hurry...we weren't at the beginning of the night but by that point we were - it had been 2.5 hours since we sat down. By the end of the meal, our graduate splashed a small amount of sauce on her white dress and our server very rudely told her that she shouldn't have worn white to an Italian restaurant and then proceeded to make fun of her and say she needed a bib. The food was tasty but the overall experience of dining here unfortunately means we won't be return customers. We aren't unreasonable people and our group has jobs in the service and hospitality industry, we know there is a correct way to handle these situations and being unsympathetic and apathetic isn't it.

A flavorful explosion in the mouth and the four 'shrooms quickly disappeared. We both had the soup instead of salad (Asiago Broccoli?). A small cup was delicious and just the right size. My bourbon maple bacon jam, gorgonzola cream, Flat Iron Steak was awesome (you read the description right). Just a hint of maple and bacon with blue cheese goodness over a perfectly cooked medium-rare steak. My wife had the Pan Seared Sea Scallops, making constant "yummy noises" while consuming. She loved her Ginger Martini cocktail. My only, very minor, quibble was my house special Cosmopolitan cocktail. It was not as cold as I would have preferred, was a bit cloudy and had a bit of lime pulp in it. Not bad but not as perfect as the rest of our food and drink. Brazil's is not inexpensive but we highly recommend it! I'd vote for a Michelin Star, if that were possible :)

The steak on the BLT salads was just ok; not very flavorful. Thought the quality could've been better. The buffalo salad lacked a reasonable amount of chicken and (again) the salad was just ok. Also the spice was extreme and we were glad to have ordered it on the side. The kid at the table enjoyed his burger.

We called ahead before we got here and asked if coming around 50 minutes before closing time would be okay. We got seated, but did wait a bit to have our order taken because they were pretty backed up from a busy dinner service. They apologized for the wait and took our food and drink order. Water is cold so that's a good sign. Dim lit restaurant, wasn't a fan of the chairs, they are weirdly straight up. I also don't like the table covers. Quite annoying on my knees. Now on to the food. We got bread which was pretty good, nothing special but still good. The main course was amazing. My only problem with it was that I asked for jalapeños on the side but they were on the burger. Not a huge deal they were easy to take off. Burger was very good fries were solid. Everyone else said their food was great. Mother said it was the best buff chicken sandwich she ever had. My brother got a hamstring cramp because he was dehydrated from the blue collar work he did all day. This place was great. Our waitress was super nice and friendly , great person. I highly recommend going to this place.

The giant pizza oven is part of the esthetic, so I ordered the Buffalo Chicken pizza which included smoked chicken on it, blue cheese crumbles and ranch.

Their menu is primarily pizza, burgers and sandwiches with a message that states "no substitutions", however they have a build your own pizza option as well.

The garage doors were open in the front of the building so we thought we would stop. As we walked up we saw a few people. And it smelled good. They have a large wood fire oven. So everything has the open wood fire smell. They were out of a lot of items which was very disappointing. They have a craft beer section but most of them were out. And a few menu items were also not available including the wings which I wanted. That is why the score. The hours of the place are only open 3 days so it seems they ran out and aren't going to replenish till next Thursday when they are open again. I guess we are on the backend of the day when they have limited selection. We got the pizza, and someone got the chicken ranch sandwich and a burger. We liked what we got. We also got some of the craft cocktails. It was good. I also have to compliment our server Catie. She was darling. We love her. She is so hung out with us and we had fun with her. She made the whole experience really good. Would I try this place again. Yes, Catie was darling and the food was good. Just disappointing that they didn't have a lot of items.

Really great sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and dough. Only slight complaint was it wasn't cut very well and we were eating it as a picnic at the lake with no silverware or napkins so we were just tearing it with our hands. Messy haha. 5 star service from guy. Super friendly knowledgeable guy helped me order on the phone without a menu and it being our first time there. 4.5 star service from girl. She first accidentally rang us up for the wrong special ($50 something) which is an easy mistake, we corrected her and she fixed it. We didn't get any napkins, wet wipes, or plastic silverware in our to go bag which made a picnic eating wings and pizza not cut all the way through in some spots very tricky to eat haha. We were literally sucking the amazing sauces off of our fingers. 5 star cleanliness 5 star location in a plaza downtown(4 1/2 min easy drive from Barcelona lighthouse) 4.5 star prices (pretty fair, especially for 12 wings and large ranches)

However, went here today (Sunday afternoon) with our 4 kids, it wasn't busy. We were seated quickly and ordered as soon as we had the opportunity. We received our side salads, maybe 25 minutes after being seated, then after an hour and seeing people received their food who arrived after us, we were done waiting. My husband informed the waitress (she was nice, it obviously wasn't her fault) that we'd just like to leave. So they charged us for our side salads (that were supposed to be part of the meals we never received) and left. Won't be going back.

Alas though, the great state of New York has decided that she must give them her recipes or stop selling the syrups.

The lady who runs the place is inviting and wanted us to try all of her syrups. They have flavors like grape, raspberry, mint, apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, anything you can think of really.
