I was so excited to catch up with a friend and he suggested the Parkview in Westfield, NY. I had…read morenever been and love to try new places. From the moment I pulled up to the restaurant from the moment I left - it was perfection. It was a chilly, rainy summer day - so we sat indoors. The restaurant has a small dining area - but that is part of the charm. We sat in the best seats in the house - right in the front windows. Westfield is a lovely little village and the park is right out the front window of the parkview. I like details, and the parkview did not disappoint on that level. The table was beautifully set and simply, tastefully decorated. The small, significant touches definitely made an impression on me. When my friend joined, he suggested the homemade chicken pot pie. The entire menu looked delicious and normally I wouldn't order a pot pie... but I trust my friend's palate and - he was right. Absolute deliciousness. I can't wait to come back and try something else. And the staff - wonderful, attentive, and kind.

Creamy Chicken Noodle and Smoked Gouda and Tomato. We could have eaten a gallon of each. Both were piping hot and bursting with flavor.

The steak on the BLT salads was just ok; not very flavorful. Thought the quality could've been better. The buffalo salad lacked a reasonable amount of chicken and (again) the salad was just ok. Also the spice was extreme and we were glad to have ordered it on the side. The kid at the table enjoyed his burger.

We called ahead before we got here and asked if coming around 50 minutes before closing time would be okay. We got seated, but did wait a bit to have our order taken because they were pretty backed up from a busy dinner service. They apologized for the wait and took our food and drink order. Water is cold so that's a good sign. Dim lit restaurant, wasn't a fan of the chairs, they are weirdly straight up. I also don't like the table covers. Quite annoying on my knees. Now on to the food. We got bread which was pretty good, nothing special but still good. The main course was amazing. My only problem with it was that I asked for jalapeños on the side but they were on the burger. Not a huge deal they were easy to take off. Burger was very good fries were solid. Everyone else said their food was great. Mother said it was the best buff chicken sandwich she ever had. My brother got a hamstring cramp because he was dehydrated from the blue collar work he did all day. This place was great. Our waitress was super nice and friendly , great person. I highly recommend going to this place.

Go to Larry's- but also enjoy Westfield- it is a great little town to explore!

Quirky Spot With Charm, But Food Just Okay - Spent the day at the beach on Lake Erie in Barcelona,…read moreNY, and was starving afterward. A local friend recommended Jack's Barcelona, and I decided to give it a try. Let's just say it was exactly what I needed on that particular day, at that particular moment. I sat at the bar and marveled at the décor -- so much to look at! Normally this style isn't really my vibe, but that day it hit the spot. The place is quirky in all the right ways; I especially loved the pillows for sale with what felt like serendipitous life-guiding slogans. I ordered the chili and a baked potato -- comfort food at its simplest. Not particularly exciting, and honestly, nothing special about the flavors. The wait was long, but I realized it was likely because two tables of four were served first, and I was at the bar. That gave me plenty of time to explore the fun details around me. Overall, it's a lovely experience with plenty of character, but the food itself didn't fully captivate me. Three stars for the quirky charm and atmosphere, but I wouldn't call it a must-visit for the cuisine alone.

The giant pizza oven is part of the esthetic, so I ordered the Buffalo Chicken pizza which included smoked chicken on it, blue cheese crumbles and ranch. The pizza was good but it's the type of pizza where there's black soot on the bottom of the crust so it was messy to eat. Their menu is primarily pizza, burgers and sandwiches with a message that states "no substitutions", however they have a build your own pizza option as well.

The garage doors were open in the front of the building so we thought we would stop. As we walked up we saw a few people. And it smelled good. They have a large wood fire oven. So everything has the open wood fire smell. They were out of a lot of items which was very disappointing. They have a craft beer section but most of them were out. And a few menu items were also not available including the wings which I wanted. That is why the score. The hours of the place are only open 3 days so it seems they ran out and aren't going to replenish till next Thursday when they are open again. I guess we are on the backend of the day when they have limited selection. We got the pizza, and someone got the chicken ranch sandwich and a burger. We liked what we got. We also got some of the craft cocktails. It was good. I also have to compliment our server Catie. She was darling. We love her. She is so hung out with us and we had fun with her. She made the whole experience really good. Would I try this place again. Yes, Catie was darling and the food was good. Just disappointing that they didn't have a lot of items.

Alas though, the great state of New York has decided that she must give them her recipes or stop selling the syrups. Of course if she gives up her recipes, there will be syrup vendors on every corner selling her beloved product. This is where New York taxpayers money is going. Guess Covid, homelessness and global warming do not deserve as much attention as an 83 year old's business of selling a healthy, fresh, natural homegrown product. So please stop by and support Gail. I promise you will love her and her products.

The lady who runs the place is inviting and wanted us to try all of her syrups. They have flavors like grape, raspberry, mint, apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, anything you can think of really.
