Petite Framboise — Uneven French in Port Washington

August 27, 2024

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. […]

Torrisi Bar & Restaurant — An Italian Restaurant at Another Level

August 26, 2024

We were invited by our Friends to have dinner at Torrisi Bar & Restaurant in NYC. Torrisi is located in the Puck Building on the corner of Mulberry Street and Houston Street. My first impression of Torrisi was their attention to detail. They have a large piece of art that has the Puck figurine imbedded […]

Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken — Another Miss

August 21, 2024

I was in Carle Place and was intrigued by a restaurant sign — Chimichurri Charcoal Chicken. I liked all three words in the restaurant’s name. I was challenged since I just finished lunch to eat there but I figured that I could try the wings to see if it made sense to come back for […]

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. […]

Cena 081 — Westbury’s Finest

August 19, 2024

We had a lovely meal at Cena 081 in Westbury, right by the LIRR Train Station. We were greeted by Tom Brady, the manager. Unfortunately for us, it was not THE Tom Brady, retired Football GOAT. I was confused that with the name Cena 081 when their address is 103 Post Avenue. My good friend, […]

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar — Time to Move On

August 16, 2024

I had a free night and what better way to enjoy it than to order sushi on a conveyer belt. That is the gimmick for Kura Revolving Sushi Bar in Carle Place. At Kura they have a bunch of booths with a conveyer belt winding its way through out the restaurant. Customers can take whatever […]

Why Do Hostesses Seat You At Bad Tables

August 15, 2024

I was out for dinner this past weekend and the hostess lead us to a table right near the bathroom. The restaurant was half full and I could not understand why she chose this table for us. I asked her if we could have a table near the window in the front. She said shrugged […]

Ristorante Venere — A Hidden Gem in Westbury

August 12, 2024

On a rainy night we headed over to Ristorante Venere on Carman Avenue in Westbury. Ristorante Venere is in a non descript strip mall where parking is easy which won kudos, especially from my wife, on this rainy night. From the first moment we stepped in, we had the most amazing experience. My overall take […]

August 7, 2024

We were in the mood for some sushi and headed to Nikkei of Peru in Port Washington. We were first struck by the small parking lot right next to Nikkei of Peru. Of course all of the spots were taken so we had to park in the supermarket parking lot next door. Nikkei of Peru is a small restaurant, more […]
