I couldn't have been more wrong! This small store is stocked with carefully curated gems, including offbeat selections that I would have expected had the store instead been in Park Slope or Williamsburg. Inside you'll find bottles of Saint-Bris Sauvignon, Bedrock Old Vine Zinfandel and other surprises. The proprietor who was on duty when I shopped clearly loves his wines and was enthusiastic about every bottle that I touched. I walked away with a half-dozen bottles and fell in love with the first two that I opened when I returned home. Highly recommended!

We had unsweetened iced teas, and the kids' seltzer came in a kid-sized cup. After ordering, we were served cornbread sticks, which were really good and a hit with my son. Elwood also brought crayons and paper for him, which was a thoughtful touch. We started with the gator nuggets and frickles. The gator nuggets were our favorite appetizer. The frickles were good, but the batter was fairly thick, which made the pickle flavor a little subtle. For my entrée, I had the fried chicken with collard greens and mac and cheese. The chicken was nicely crispy and came with four pieces, though it was a little overcooked for my taste. The collard greens were on the sweet side, and the mac and cheese could have used a bit more flavor. The highlight of our visit was the service. Elwood was friendly, attentive, and struck the perfect balance of checking in without being overbearing. Overall, the food was a bit mixed for us, but the excellent service, family-friendly touches, and pleasant outdoor seating made for an enjoyable experience. We'll be back to try some of the other menu items.

The restaurant was fairly empty but it filled up midway through our dinner. It's lively and nicely decorated. We ordered drinks first, and the cocktail menu had some nice options. Too sweet for my taste so I ordered wine. Simple collection to choose from. Then we had the lamb meatballs. They were very good, especially with the sauce. Not gamey. The fried artichoke was definitely a hit with the dipping sauce. Some of the pieces were a little too dry and I didn't taste much artichoke overall. The roasted romaine was a nice take an a Caesar salad. Grilled asparagus is self explanatory. The pizza was really good but I avoid gluten now so I only had 2 bites; husband loved it. I had the scallops which were too rubbery for my taste. I was hungry so I finished the whole plate after another round of drinks. The staff was attentive and professional. There were smiles at our arrival as well as departure. We were very happy with the experience here. We will come again!!

One of my friends and I will periodically go out to dinner to catch up - and since we had not done…read moreso in over 6 months we were definitely overdue. After a date was locked, the next question was where to go. Talia landed on our radar since it had recently opened and came at the recommendation of a mutual colleague. The menu looked pretty good so we decided to book it. Talia is located in Port Chester, which I must say is seeing a boom in restaurants; seems like this is a new hot spot for dining in Westchester County. It's tucked away along a side street but catches the eye due to its turquoise exterior. The interior is quite spacious (and smelled great) with dining area spread across two floors. We were seated upstairs which, in addition to tables, housed a bar. The decor was upscale without being too stuffy - almost minimalist with small accents, medium woods, and neutral colored seating. The menu is a mix of Italian and French cuisine - separated into apps, bites, salads, pastas, mains, and sides. We decided to share everything and went with a few selections from each section. We decided to start with the hamachi crudo, delivled eggs, fried artichoke hearts, and panzanella salad. These were all great - the crudo was fresh, the eggs contained kimchi which gave it a welcome accent, the artichoke was paired with a tasty yogurt dipping sauce that cut the friedness, and the panzanella salad had an excellent balance of greens and bread. Panzanella salad has the risk of being too bread heavy but it was just enough here. For our mains we decided on the beef filet and the salmon. Both of these were tasty - the filet was served with a side of well-seasoned asparagus and a mustard jus that complemented the beef. The salmon sat on top of some sort of hummus (I think) that contained some chopped vegetables. The skin was super crispy on the fish and the hummus complemented it well. We opted for dessert, and I went with their take on a chocolate ganache cake. This was interesting - it was a super thin slice but that was enough as the ganache was super rich; the cake itself was somewhat dry but I'm not sure if it was meant to be that way? It almost ate like a rice cake with ganache frosting. Despite my confusion it was quite delicious. Service was excellent - everyone was super friendly, and chef-owner Ian Vest even visited our table to say hello. Overall, I had a great experience at Talia - this is a relatively new restaurant and I wish them nothing but the best in this new endeavor. They have some stiff competition in the area, but if they keep it up there's potential for them to be a standout restaurant in Port Chester.

As someone who doesn't have much of a fondness for wine, I decided to experiment and try, since there is an option for a wine flight.
