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.
I am giving this a fourth star because my husband lobbied for it. My general
impression of our brunch was “underwhelming.” I would like to return for
dinner though, because i realize that brunch on a holiday may not be the best
barometer by which to judge a restaurant’s awesomeness.
Courtesy of a Gilt City deal, I decided to try out the LA fine dining scene
while visiting family over the holidays.
This city would be a lot less sweet without Valerie and her glorious
confections. The woman’s chocolatey creations and pleasure-inducing baked goods
can be found in at least one bakery/deliesque joint in every neighborhood, or
so it seems!
This place has an atmosphere and way of doing things that can only be described
as self assured. The mixologists have carefully honed their art and produce
some of the best cocktails I have ever had. In their recipes, they manage to be
innovative without being trendy. As a result they have all the classic martinis
and some new twists that complement and enhance them.
My mother and I went here last Saturday evening for dinner.We arrived fifteen
minutes after they opened. I’ve been there a couple times for lunch but never
for dinner.
This place was super busy when we got there but luckily we only waited 5 mins
to get a table. The service was on point. They were quiet organized considering
the chaos of people.
I’ve had 4 months to write a review about Vetri and I’m still at a loss for
words for how I should describe my meal. Is there a level above perfect?
Because there should be, and it should be called Vetri (Merriam-Webster, update
your dictionary now).
We went here for a large party of 10. The parking wasn’t very good but I
usually count that as a good sign of whats the come. Fortunately most of my
expectations of the place were exceeded. From this experience its hard to find
fault with this place.
I very rarely give out the coveted 5 star rating but I felt it was time. I’m
not sure if it was the glow from a perfect weekend or if my experience was
really that spectacular but I’m going with both of those.
Went here on a Thursday night in December. It’s exactly what you want to walk
into on a chilly night. Lots of wood, warmth and an expert hand at the bar. I
don’t remember the name of the cocktail I ordered but it was good and my friend
was smiling through his whiskey sour.
I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed waffles so much! My mom put icecream on waffles
and made homemade icream sandwichs for breakfast once but, speculoos spread,
nutella, whipped cream, strawberries & bananas (how I like my liege) topped
that!
Five star restaurant (for what it is), minus a star for how insane the wait can
get and for the tiny glasses of water and juice.
Surprisingly good asian food - definitely exceeded my expectations from the
typical asian-themed restaurants peppered around the strip. Menu straddles a
number of cultures from Japanese to Chinese to Thai so there’s something for
everyone. As in most Encore locales, the food is pricey but that comes with
the territory. Service was fine.
The fish sandwich and the pot pie were a tad disappointing. I thought they’d
have some Brazilian twist, but they tasted like a fish sandwich and a pot pie.
