Rant of the Day: Waiters Who Do Not Write Down Your Orders!
September 12, 2024
When I was a kid, I was always impressed when a waiter would take an order without writing anything down and then serve the food as requested. How did they remember all of our orders and who actually ordered what? Looking back at it, I am still amazed and impressed. I think that I have […]
Grace’s Marketplace Chef’s Counter & Trattoria
September 11, 2024
We were shopping at Grace’s Marketplace and decided to get lunch at their Chef’s Counter & Trattoria. It is set up in the corner of the Grace’s Marketplace. The menu is relatively small but has a focus on breakfast and lunch. Doing it over, I would probably go for breakfast since it looked good. But […]
Limani Taverna
September 10, 2024
We were in the mood for Greek food and decided to try Limani Taverna in Woodbury. Our first impression was that it had a great atmosphere and engaging ambiance. The restaurant had a buzz but the noise level was not too overwhelming. We have seen restaurants where our the sounds from our neighboring tables can […]
Chat American Grill (Scarsdale) — Lovely Place for Lunch
September 9, 2024
We were in Scarsdale and found Chat American Grill, a lovely restaurant on the edge of town. They had this great outdoor seating area and since it was the end of the summer, how could we pass up on Chat American Grill? The menu was standard fare and we ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad and […]

Restaurant Rant of the Day — Restaurants That Refuse to Make Changes or Substitutions
September 5, 2024
I was at a restaurant that did not allow any changes or substitutions to the items on the menu. I tend to like to switch up the vegetables offered for another one on the menu. It should not be a big deal since they have the other vegetable. But this restaurant did not want to […]
Twisted Fork Bruch Company — French Toast Fondue
September 4, 2024
On a beautiful day, we headed to the Twisted Fork Brunch Company in Bellmore. The first thing we noticed was the large footprint of the restaurant. It was spacious with a lot of room between the tables and booths. That makes the meal so much more enjoyable. As an aside, we were able to put […]
Cassariano Italian Eatery — Good Italian with Great Vibe
September 3, 2024
We passed Cassariano Italian Eatery in Mineola multiple times when we were shopping at North Shore Farms. We decided that we needed to experience it on a night they had the DJ. The way it works is that DJ does not start until 9:00 pm so until then it is a traditional Italian restaurant. The hole vibe changes with the […]

iBagel Cafe — A Very Good Bagel Shop
August 29, 2024
Another day, another bagel. Today, we tried iBagel Cafe in Albertson. If these bagels are not good, then I will be moving to Florida since H&H Bagels is opening there. iBagel served up a golden bagel that was light and fluffy. So they nailed the coloring and texture on the outside. The outside of the […]
