Patisserie Florentine, we came across this place while wanting brunch and walking around Englewood…read moreand see what would be delicious. My order was an avocado toast with a poached egg and a side salad. A side of fresh, squeezed orange juice too. The avocado toast, I enjoyed having the full amount and it was completely covered with a good taste with the egg. Patisserie Florentine is a small, cozy place. We came here for brunch, there are other options to pick up drinks or bakery items to go. Service was kind of slow and friendly for 8:30am on a Monday. Parking is available outside, all forms of payment is accepted.

Had no idea Balthazar was in New Jersey. I've been going to the SoHo location for years and have…read morealways loved it, especially for brunch. Everything is so delicious. Their baguette is my all-time go-to. It's perfectly crisp on the outside and so moist inside. A must-try if you haven't had it. The New Jersey location is different from SoHo. It's smaller with no seating, but it's a huge bread factory where you can actually see people making fresh bread and pastries. The smell alone is amazing. Lots of people stop by for coffee and pastries, just like I did. Totally worth it if you're a bread lover.

Always a popular place for tarts, and pies, especially during the Thanksgiving…read more Parking is limited - about 8 spots - but since people are only picking up or simply buying, wait a few minutes and you will be able to park. Their cannele is probably the best you can get in the neighborhood. Right amount of sweetness. Soft texture. $4.50 each. Other than the pastries, I like their regular breads, loaves, short breads.

It's been a minute since I last dined at Sofia in Englewood. I was in the area this past Sunday,…read moreand decided to stop by for a late night cocktail and snack. It's refreshing to find a steakhouse that serves food and drinks late on a Sunday night. The decor, vibes, and clientele are upscale. It's not uncommon for exotic cars to pull up at the valet station. We sat at the bar and were waited on by James who had a great personality and a flair for mixing cocktails. The "White Walker" is a long-standing cocktail on the Sofia menu, and it really hit the spot (Ketel One vodka, coconut cream, lychee, lemon and club soda). My wife tried the "Geisha's Lullaby" - a Japanese whisky cocktail with pistachio, lime, falernum and vanilla. This cocktail was outstanding! On the food side, I ordered Cacio E Pepe. I enjoyed it. Not creamy like the typical cacio e pepe, but the pasta was served over a delicious slice of beef carpaccio. I'd rate it a 4.5 of 5.0. To finish the evening, I enjoyed a pour of Redbreast 12 from Sofia's wall of spirits. Whiskey lovers will enjoy the options, including luxury pours. My wife tried a Peaches in Paris cocktail - white peach puree, vodka, lemon, St. Germain, and Peychaud's bitters. The Peychaud's bitters bullied this cocktail making it slightly unbalanced. Overall though, we loved the cocktail program.

For starters, the complimentary bread choices is a bonus. The oysters for appetizer were very fresh…read moreand taste well, didn't have too much of a briney/fishy taste which was a bonus for me and sauces paired very well together. The pasta was very creamy and enjoyed the flavor. As someone who loves steak and is picky with how I receive it, I had ordered a porterhouse Medium Rare, the first one we received was overcooked to medium well and our server second guessed me when I brought it to attention. He had to call over another worker to double check and we had to ask once again if we were able to get it redone to our liking before even getting it replaced right away. The second porterhouse we received was done correctly and was seasoned well and had enough fat to make it buttery and melty. Espresso Martini was made well and for Whiskey Sours, if you like them on the smokier side, I would recommend it. All in all, we enjoyed all the food but the only set back for us was that we had to wait a little longer for our steak which we wanted to pair with our pasta. By the time it came out correctly, our pasta was already cold.

This spot delivered a solid Colombian food experience with a great atmosphere to match…read more We started with the empanadas, which were crispy, golden, and packed with flavorful filling. They definitely shine even more with a little hot sauce on the side. Easy 8/10. The highlight of the meal was the steak tostones. The steak was juicy and tender, the guacamole added a fresh touch, and the tostones were perfectly crispy. My only complaint is that I wish there had been more on the plate because they disappeared fast. 8.5/10. For my entrée, I had the grilled chicken topped with mushroom sauce. It was good and cooked well, but I felt it could have used a little more seasoning and heat to really make it pop. 7.5/10. Beyond the food, the ambiance was fantastic. The restaurant is beautiful, comfortable, and has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Been wanting to come here for quite sometime and finally had the chance to. This place has great…read morereviews and after dining at Antioch, I can see why they have such great reviews. Visited Antioch during the holidays so it wasn't that busy. I'm sure on a Friday and Saturday it'd be more busy. The restaurant itself doesn't have much seating, only a few tables, I would say about 50 people occupancy so if you're going, make sure you make reservations. The place was nicely decorated and well kept and clean. The service was great, but this is based on 2 tables being served. I'm sure the service is just as exceptional on busy days. I love that they start out with table bread, I wished they asked us if the table wanted more. We ordered a few dishes for the table, everything was delicious. The dishes we ordered is the usual dishes that we'd order from any Mediterranean restaurant. The fries calf liver is definitely something to try. Massive amounts of flavor. The chicken kebab is very tender and the steak had a nice char flavor. Can't wait to go back again and introduce this little place to more people.

Our appetizers and the puffy bread that came with it were delicious. Naturally, we were excited for…read moreour entrees to arrive. After they did, however, I was not very thrilled. We had to ask twice for our rice we ordered for entrees to be brought out because our server forgot. Fine, that happens. But what really threw me off was when I questioned if the mold in my cheese was normal, the server assured me it was naturally occurring for the flavor. I felt gaslit because I have never had Parmesan with such questionable green growth on it for consumption in any restaurant in my entire life. The server said if it bothered me, he'd bring out fresh shavings with no mold. I have left pictures so you can be the judge of this. Aside from my minor issue with the cheese, the ambiance of the restaurant was nice and there's plenty of choices for meat and non-meat eaters alike

Oh, my!!! Kitchen was closed at 2 PM but they have a few things on the "grab and go" cabinet so I decided to get a Honey nut squash Apple Vinegar Salad with a Cappuccino...and also I took a Baguette, an Orange Almond Brioche and one more thing that I can't remember ( now I know: Cranberry pecan pastry ) to go...yummiiieee Everything seems to had fantastic flavors, texture and had cool colors My salad and the coffee were really great. The salad had chicken breast, which was perfectly cooked, and the vinegar dressing was a perfect combination. The cappuccino was so good The place had average noise; was very clean, Wi-Fi free to the customers and I saw two bathrooms ( one is for handicapped). No pets allowed. Customer Service was OK. Thank you guys. I love your food. See you very soon. God bless you.

A hit for a fast casual meal!…read more Even though we stepped in midday, there was still a decent selection of bagels in the display case. I ordered the Santa Fe egg white sandwiches, which came on one of their aptly named 'Asiago thintastic' bagels. When toasted, it was crackly on the outside with a distinct aged cheese flavor. It supposedly comes with roasted tomato salsa and spicy jalapeño salsa cream cheese; I don't know if I saw those distinct additions, but there was a zingy schmear of something that tasted like pimiento cheese that added incredible flavor. They were also perfectly amenable to my request to swap out the turkey sausage with a standard sausage patty. My husband opted for their healthier options. The Avocado Egg white sandwich, which comes with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a fold of egg whites, was also delicious. Our order only took minutes, but everything was hot and fresh and I especially loved how melty the cheese in our sandwiches got. The name suggests they specialize in bagels and breakfast sandwiches, but there's a fair spread of hot sandwiches on the menu as well. There's plenty of seating inside this cavernous dining room, with both counters and tall stools by the windows or two- and four-top tables throughout. Bathrooms are also available at the very rear of the restaurant. In a strange and somewhat ironic twist, pets aren't allowed inside, but they sell dog treats (beef-based and adorably shaped into bagel shapes) by the counter.

I have been visiting Manhattan Bagel regularly now for about a year. They are one of my favored…read morelocal breakfast spots. The service is always friendly, and my order correct. There is enough space for quite a few diners. So much so, I never feel cramped at whichever table I choose. Most recently, I had their BLT. It is a filling sandwich, but maybe not always as balanced as I'd like (could use more B), that comes with a bag of chips. Perfect for when I want something other than a bagel. Followed is a draft review from months ago, that I completely neglected to publish... I've come here pretty much every morning this week. While I previously sampled more of their menu, what I get is pretty simple, especially compared to what they have on offer. I get a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese and a drink. My drink order has ranged from an iced coffee to one of their 'Chillerz' frozen drinks. The scallion cream cheese is literally bursting with flavor! Each bite has juicy slivers of green onion. The spread being so rich in flavor is why I get it on a plain bagel, anything else would be overwhelming. The ice coffee is a self service situation. The brew is strong and occasionally slightly bitter. I combat that with half & half and some sugar/stevia. I've had the Frozen Caffe Caramel and Wildberry smoothie from the Chillerz menu. I'm more fond of the berry drink as the coffee didn't have enough of a caramel taste for me.
