The eggs were perfectly cooked soft and buttery. And the sour dough toast with that perfect sour dough tang was the perfect edition. Even the coffee in the French press takes the coffee to another level. But talking about Oak & Reed flair the signature waffle was possibly one of the best things I have eaten. The waffle with that pearl sugar is the way a waffle should be made but then they have that waffle filled with Dutch caramel and that mascarpone on top is perfect. The tang, sweetness, butteriness, the crisp yet fluffy waffle it all was an equation for an amazing breakfast item. I could eat that every time I go. Truly amazing. The staff in Oak & Reed is always amazing attentive and kind. Live the open kitchen concept. Especially with my two year old currently in a Ratatouille kick so she wanted to see the chefs while she looked for Remy cooking. All in all Oak & Reed never disappoints.

Unfortunately I have to say this place was just meh!…read more This is one of my friends favorite restaurant, she even wanted to have them cater her wedding. So I was excited when we finally got a chance to try it. And here is where it may have been my fault, maybe I hyped it up too much. So the funny thing when we arrived at the restaurant and I saw another friend. She told me it was her first time and it wasn't good (this was a warning!) she said especially the chicken and waffles. So again maybe it's my fault because I didn't listen. My heart was set on the chicken and waffles and she was right. It was not good. Like how do you mess up chicken and waffles? It was lacking all types of flavor. It was bad. Why 3 stars than? Because their Spicy Pork Congee was amazing! It's an Asian rice dish and everything that lacked flavor in the chicken and waffles was made up in this dish. The problem? This is only an appetizer. It needs to be an entree, which would mean making it a larger portion. It was fantastic! They also had a decent beer selection which we got. The inside of the restaurant is cute. It has so much potential I just think maybe a revamp of the recipes. But maybe another dish would be good. We came for brunch so I don't know how their dinner menu is. I will probably give them another chance because how amazing the congee was I know they have potential to be great.

The place has kept the 'dive' vibe alive, but it's quite safe to visit now. And the food is quite good! One buddy (who always gets a reuben) tried the ribeye sandwich and was very impressed - though we called it the reubeye. I had the hard pressed Cuban and it was wonderful. And the fried pickles are cut lengthwise, so you get a better experience than slices - they're called 'frickles'. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the area.

The pizzas are about 25 centimeters in size and can easily be shared, or enjoyed individually if you're hungry. The sandwiches are also generous enough to share. The pizza here is incredible, with a perfectly executed crust. The house salad is made with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, served with a balsamic dressing. Everything tasted very fresh and crisp. Cosimo's does not disappoint.

The service here friendly and welcoming. Asked me if I've ever been there and I explained I was visiting from LI and we had a chat about that. I cannot wait to go back. So many different flavors to try. I'm a little sad I gave most of donuts to family members, that I didn't have more to enjoy myself!

The owner was working and is a great guy. Very personable! I ordered 4 doughnuts. I wish I ordered a dozen! 1 Glazed, 2 chocolate covered, 1 jelly I was able to save them until I got to place I was visiting. I was able to take a picture of the chocolate covered, which I enjoyed! The doughuts are old-fashion! Like the 60's and 70's when so many doughnut shoppes made them in-house and you could smell them from miles away. Those days are over so when you come across a throwback, it is important to stop and taste them! 5 stars from me! The doughnuts were awesome! I had a "farm fresh" chocolate milk, as well. Nice and cold.....absolutely perfect! Price- reasonable Parking- plenty...right out front Vibe- owner creates a welcoming place Will I be back? When in Middletown, go to Daddy's!

I recently tried it and was seriously impressed. The falafel themselves are perfectly crispy on the outside with a warm, herby, tender center--clearly made fresh and not from a mix. They're packed with flavor but not overly greasy, which is a huge plus. The basmati rice underneath is light, fragrant, and the perfect base for soaking up the rich, creamy tzatziki and tahini sauces they provide. The Greek-style salad on the side is super fresh, with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, and a tangy vinaigrette that balances everything out. What really stood out to me was the portion size--you definitely get your money's worth. It's the kind of meal that leaves you full but not heavy. The staff were also friendly and quick, making the experience feel casual yet thoughtful. If you're looking for a satisfying vegetarian meal or just want something different from the usual takeout fare, this bowl is a must-try.
