One night I was really craving Singaporean food and came upon this listing on yelp and the restaurant was close to our apartment.

As family as a family restaurant comes - Pete & Sam’s is our staple spot (like macaroni and cheese in Mommy’s pantry).

Wow. That about sums up this legendary NYC icon. I was lucky enough to snag a table with a friend of mine while visiting over New Years, and it was fantastic! I had heard how amazing this place was from a number of different people and television so I had high expectations to say the least. It met and exceeded everyone of them!

I cannot count how many times I have frequented this place. It’s a usual haunt for myself and my boy, and I believe that now they recognize us. Just a warning, they WILL come to take your order almost immediately, but don’t be afraid to tell them you need more time. Also, I don’t know how well this restaurant meets the “Traditional Vietnamese” moniker, but it doesn’t matter, it’s still so very yummy.

WIthout a smidge out of a doubt, this is the most deliciously authentic southern Italian food in Bay Ridge. Can you find a better scene in Bay Ridge? yes. Can you find bigger portions? yes. Can you find typical American Italian food? yes.

It is, perhaps, a bit felicitous that I just happened to wander through a park filling up with protestors, that would in the following weeks become known as the Occupy Wall Street movement, while on my way to what turned out to be not only the best, but also most indulgent meal of 2011, a year rife with debate over the haves and the have nots. I definitely had, a lot, at Picholine, and there’s no doubt that they left me feeling like I was part of the 1%.

We stopped here on our way back to AZ and it was a great experience. Friendly staff, good home cooked food and amazing pie.

I had a great dinner at Pierpoint. It was a Tuesday night and the place was pretty empty. We had appetizers, entrees, and desert. My lamb was spectacular and I found our waitress to be SO informative in answering all questions and being informative. What I will say is that the food is formal and the atmosphere is casual. I actually really appreciate that, but I think it can be off-putting to some people. I see a lot of the reviews weren’t that impressed with food and I’m sad to see…

Pierre is one of those typical French guys who apprenticed as a cook/baker in his parents’ restaurant since practically birth - and now embraces the bachelor life like a life-line. But this isn’t about the man, but his business. And the man knows about authentic French fare.

I agree, though I confess never to have been at Peter Luger’s. But I’ve been to every other name steakhouse many times each. Every non-steak dish I’ve had at Pietro’s has been good, too–and as a mid-20th century child, I love the old-school vibe.

Yes, that’s the story to this place. Man grows up in Brooklyn, falls in love with Arizona, moves himself to said Arizona, opens a pizza place and BOOM! You have Pizzeria Bianco.

We had a superb bone in rib eye steak paired with a bottle of barolo from 2003, and mashed potatoes with lobster as a side. Great experience! And the bread was warm and delicious. What I did not like was all the waiters running around being stressed.

cWe had an excellent bottle of chilled white wine. We then sat down to a hot cheese and mushroom soufflé. From there, we ordered an assortment of dishes from the impressive menu list.

We went to Provisions because it was highly recommended to us by a vegetarian salesgirl in town…she told me I HAD to try the Caprese and I had heard good things about Provisions already so we went for lunch today.

Today was technically the second time I stepped into Prune. The first time I wanted to eat there, but their fat hostess was extremely rude and made me not want to come again.

Staff matched the décor: a bit rustic, harsh on the outside, but soft and cozy once you get to know them.

Some seating is available but it does get packed in here quick. There is a TV playing Chinese movies at the restaurant. They have a restroom in the back. On each table you will find chopped cilantro in a container, a water jug, chopsticks, spoons and napkins. Their chili sauce is excellent, ask for it if you want to add some spice to your meal. Our server was nice and quick in taking our order. All our dishes came out in a timely manner but the Baby Bok Choy took much longer.

I had met up with my new client here knowing this location was one of the few East Side Restaurant participating in Restaurant Week. We both had an excellent lunch at Purple.

My family was in town so I wanted to take them somewhere nice for brunch. My wife has really wanted to go to RDG Bar Annie since it opened. We decided rather late to go there and I was worried about getting reservations.

I’ve been wanting to try RM Seafood for a while a it was out standing in many levels. First off the service could not have been better. I really wanted the clam chowder, but with what we ordered, it would have been too much, but the server was so kind to bring me a small bowl with several spoonfuls of chowder to try.
