I went to a local diner and ordered an omelette and a blueberry muffin. The omelette was fine but the muffin tasted aweful. Something was definitely off with the muffin. Since i was running late, I did not bring it up with the waiter. When I went to pay the bill, the manager asked me […]
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 […]
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 […]
As a change of pace, we decided to eat at Petite Framboise, a French restaurant in Port Washington. We started with a French Onion Soup and Macaroni Au Gratin (macaroni and cheese for us common folks). The French Onion Soup was the clear winner. The Macaroni and Cheese was the worst dish of the evening. […]

We were on in Long Beach to visit the Long Beach Boardwalk Arts and Crafts Festival and did not really like the food options there. So we walked back to Park Avenue and decided to have lunch at the Bungalow. The Bungalow is a cute little restaurant that primary serves bar food and sandwiches including […]
We have been to the other Shed locations but wanted to try the newest one in Westbury. First off, it is the nicest looking one and the largest by far. The Shed did it right. Of course, there was a wait. Guaranteed. We went for dinner and we were informed that there would be a […]
After dodging a bullet at another lunch spot nearby, we decided to stop by Buckram Stables in Locust Valley to have lunch this past weekend. They describe themselves as casual dining with an equestrian theme. They can call themselves anything they want but they are a pub. Since it was extremely hot, we decided to […]
