The Best Thing I Ever Ate
We popped in to Patterson House on New Year’s Eve to grab a drink before
heading on to dinner. My fear was that there would be a ridiculous wait and
slow service, which would prevent us from making our dinner reservations on
time.
We had seen the ads for this place and saw it on Yelp, so we thought we’d try
dinner there, but the menu was a bit too pricey for our wallets, so we decided
to come back for lunch instead.
Was staying in Ojai and did a Groupon search in the area and was very lucky to
find Ranch House there for a $50 for $25 deal. I am not a hard core foodie or
food snob of any kind, just like a great dining experience for a fair price,
and Ranch House delivered.
Food is always great and very consistent. Interesting wine list and wines by
the glass. I have spoted many celebrities there, despite the fact that the
restaurant has been around for many, many years… The zucchini appetizer has
been on the menu forever and I have it everytime.
I’m a fan. I had their Redneck Reuben(Smoked corned beef on Texas toast topped
with coleslaw) and it was GREAT!!! I don’t even think this is their best
sandwich since they specialize in a Angus burgers. I can’t wait to go back and
try a burger.
My friend and I made reservations for high tea and when we arrived, we were
seated immediately. We were seated by the window, overlooking Union Square. It
was such a pretty view, especially since the Christmas tree was up. The
interior architecture and decor was also very beautiful and classy, very Neiman
Marcus.
I don’t think I really need to add to your 1201 reviews but I’ve visited twice,
I’ve drank the kook-aid (actually mulled wine), and I’m a fan. I don’t even
know if my review will be filtered by Yelp because I’m pretty sure I’m going to
be using orgasm a lot in my review.
Bottom line at the top: 3.5 rounded up, the chocolate chip pancakes are
delicious. Good place to go for a simple waffle snack or dessert, I wouldn’t
recommend actually coming here for breakfast or lunch.
We came here late night after a nearby wedding we attended for a little drunk
eating. Bad bad bad…but so so so good!
We’ve eaten here many times and have never been disappointed. We went for the
Thanksgiving meal in 2012, and had an excellent meal and left eating far too
much food because it was all so delicious.
The rub on the ribs was excellent, the best I’ve ever had. The pork and brisket
was tasty, but a bit average. However, the sides made up for it – the potato
salad and beans, especially.
I toyed here with five stars versus four stars. I don’t like to spit them out
like a Pez dispenser, but I could not find anything to complain about or
criticize. And as my wife and prior reviews can attest, I am one hell of a
whiner, and can pretty much always find something that is fouled up, or at
best, could be made better.
We had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving Day at this cozy little Bistro
tucked in the East Village. The space is full of warmth and charm with an
eclectic mix of vintage wood tables and chairs. The warmth and charm of the
staff is what set our evening apart. They were helpful and accommodating when I
called to make our reservation and upon arriving at the restaurant I
immediately felt at home.
An amazing experience. Went for our 6 year anniversary. They create
personalized menus for you which they give you in an envelope at the end of
your night to take home along with two pastry treats wrapped for you to enjoy
the next day.
Over 30 years we have produced caviar from around the world - our attention to
quality shows in the caviar that we hand produce at our aquafarm in
California’s Central Valley and Hagerman, Idaho.
Awesome staff and assistance. They were kind, considerate and patient with my
needs as an out-of-towner trying to navigate what I wanted to be delivered to a
friend.
I came with the full intention of trying a traditional Umami Burger, but I
simply could not resist the Manly Burger – beer-cheddar cheese, onion strings
and bacon lardons. It’s basically the most delicious of everything on one
delicious burger. The circumference of the burger isn’t the biggest, but it’s
tall, stacked high with quality toppings and jam-packed with flavor. It’s worth
every precious penny.
I grew up in New Hyde Park and used to eat at Umberto’s all the time. I even
worked there way back in the early ‘80’s as a busboy when I was a teenager.
The food then and the food now is just spectacular. The service is great and
its real NY service. Direct and to the point. When I was there last year I
ate in the front room and had an assortment of pizza, hero, baked clams and
garlic knots.
We split one Spiced Ginger Cake with roasted pears and cardamom ice cream, and
one Chocolate Hazelnut Brioche Pudding with huckleberry compote, and sour cream
ice cream, plus coffee and tea.
I participated in a contest on twitter to suggest a dish for the chef to
prepare. I suggested they try a Chile Relleno dish, being a traditional New
Orleans restaurant I was curious to see their take on this dish.
