After doing some research, I found out that there are several sites that permit people to sell reservations to selected restaurants. Almost forming a secondary market for restaurant reservations. These sites include Tock, Appointment Trader and Dorsia I therefore apologize to Four Spring in Oyster Bay for crapping all over their comment that reservations are […]
We headed over to the Union in Eisenhower Park. Our expectations were low since so many restaurants have tried to succeed in this location but failed. The entrance was bright and dining room was casual but elegant (which is hard to believe). Our experience was positive with only a couple of miscues. We recommend this […]
There was an article in Newsday describing the growth in reservation fees for restaurants. Basically, the article explains that more and more restaurants are requiring a reservation fees in order to book a table which is refundable if you show up or cancel 3 or more days beforehand.

We tried La Piazza, a new opened restaurant in Westbury. The pizza was crisp and tasting. My mistake was not ordering the Sicilian slice since it looked much better. We also ordered the Penne Melenzane, which is a fancy way of saying penne with eggplant in tomato sauce, the Veal Pizzaiola and Linguini Bolognese. All […]

I have to agree that this is an apt description because he delivered on an extra special evening and dinner. When you […]
We decided to visit Centro Cucina this past weekend for a simple Italian meal. This is a classic neighborhood restaurant. The owner and his father always comes over to greet us with bear hugs. The ambiance is very casual with friendly staff. The main attraction at this restaurant is the food. We ordered a Greek […]
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 […]
I needed a special place for dinner with the family so we decided to go to Laser Wolf in Williamsburg. The major challenge is getting a reservation. You have to call exactly 21 days in advance at 10:00 am and pray there is no lag on your internet connection. We passed our major challenge by […]
