Top Restaurant Red Flags
August 20, 2024
I was reading a blog by Jeff Somers regarding Restaurants Top Red Flags and I thought that he covered a bunch of good topics. I had a few additional suggestions and combined they with the blog references. If you see any of these items, it may be a good idea to look for another restaurant. […]
The Cove Glen Cove — Come Only for the View
July 15, 2024
We went to the Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Glen Cove. The views make this restaurant. I should stop there!! I had low expectations on the food since these restaurants tend to be all about the view and the bar scene. We had spicy feta and humus dips and seared tuna. The Cove did […]
What is Good Here — Food Rant
July 3, 2024
I was on Facebook and I saw this Page where Restaurant Workers complain about things that bother them. One rant extremely annoyed me and it had to do with customers asking what is good here? Why does this annoy me? First off, I ask this question all the time so they are referring to me. […]
Farm Country Kitchen — An Oasis In Riverhead
June 5, 2024
While we were out east in Riverhead, we had lunch at the Farm Country Kitchen. The entrance is so unassuming that we missed it when we drove there even with the help of Waze. Once you do enter the restaurant, the move is to sit outside overlooking the Peconic River because the view is spectacular. […]
Daily Rant — I Hate it When Waiters Serve the Entree Course While the Appetizer Plates are on the Table
May 20, 2024
I would like to start a school in which they teach waiters and other support staff how to serve the customers. There is a real need for people to learn the appropriate serving steps. The reason I am looking into this is because at the last two restaurants that I went to the waiters started […]

Instead of doing a rant today, I thought that I would provide some advice on what not to order in a restaurant. This is an argument that I have with my wife all the time. She always like to order food that sounds good regardless of where we are eating. In one case, she wanted […]
Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers — Good Deli with Aspirations for More
May 15, 2024
I headed over to Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers in Plainview. They definitely chose the right name since the deli could be the largest one I have been to on Long Island. They have an enormous counter that starts with salads, then proceeds to deli followed by hot food and pizza’s. Even though we were not […]
Tasca — A Refresing Spanish Taverna in NYC
May 13, 2024
This past weekend, we treked into NYC for dinner with friends at Tasca on the Upper West Side. It is a fusion of Spanish and Carribean food. We were seated in the basement which was a little eerly but quieter than upstairs. Overall, the food was good even though it was salty. We started with […]
Rant of the Day — Cava Wait Times
May 6, 2024
Yesterday, I went to Cava in Westbury a little before 2:00 and there were two lines. One line was for people who placed their orders online and the other was for people ordering in store. The in store line had maybe 15 to 20 people on it so I figured it would take 15 to […]
