The beef taco was a little skimpy. They could have added lettuce and tomatoes to fill it out more. The side of guacamole was very good. Hubby's beef quesadilla was good. He enjoyed it. We found the service to be very slow. Which was surprising because you could see the waitress in the next room. She just didn't come over. Also noticed that when a bigger group of regulars showed up, they automatically received chips with salsa with out them saying a word. We didn't get that. Maybe an off day? We were passing by and remember when this place was called the Eagles Nest many years ago. That place had awesome food and we went weekly. Time and places change. Hopefully someone else has a better experience.

The vibe is comfortable, friendly, and very local. You really get that neighborhood restaurant feeling. The food was excellent. They start with complimentary chips and homemade salsa -- fresh with a little spicy kick at the end. We had the chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla, and pork tacos, and everything was delicious. The pork taco has a slightly gamey flavor, which I personally loved, but if you don't like that taste, I'd recommend chicken instead. I do wish you could mix and match different taco fillings, and the restaurant is a little on the rougher/less-clean side, but honestly, neither took away from the overall experience for me. Another big plus: 15% off when you pay cash. Great food, great local atmosphere, and friendly service. Definitely coming back.

We recently celebrated a birthday for my brotha-from-anotha-motha, Weez, and the experience was nothing short of legendary. ​The Starters ​We kicked things off with a duo of appetizers that set a high bar for the rest of the night: ​Beet and Burrata: Honestly, the flavors here were out of this world. The creaminess of the burrata paired with the earthy sweetness of the beets was a masterclass in balance. ​Tuna Tartare: Incredibly fresh and delicious. It's exactly what you want a tartare to be--clean, vibrant, and perfectly prepared. ​The Main Event ​The entrees arrived, and the table went silent (which is how you know the food is good). ​Shortribs: These were untouchable. They were incredibly moist, fell off the bone, and the plating was absolutely beautiful. ​The Schnitzel: This was the real deal. It was prepared with such heart that it would literally make my grandmother cry. ​Scallops: Perfectly cooked and served alongside a purple potato puree that was as visually stunning as it was tasty. ​Herb Butter Steak: A beautifully seasoned cut of meat that proved sometimes the classics, when done right, are unbeatable. ​The Grand Finale ​While everything was elite, the Pear and Raisin Bread Pudding was the undisputed star of the show. It's the kind of dessert you'll be thinking about for weeks. Do not leave without ordering this. ​The Vibe & Service ​The "dinner experience" here extends well beyond the plate. The mixologist is a true artist; the drinks aren't just beverages, they are a fundamental part of the meal's choreography. ​A massive thank you to Sergia for the outstanding service. Servers were attentive, deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure Weez's birthday dinner was one for the books. ​Bottom line: If you want a meal that feels like a celebration, this is the place.

We booked dinner for my daughter's birthday and chose a Sunday specifically so we could try the fried chicken which is only served on Sundays. The restaurant is located in a house in a mostly residential area, with a large parking lot across the street. We had a reservation and were greeted and seated immediately in one of the booths with glass dividers on 3 sides - it felt almost like being inside a terrarium. The overall atmosphere is warm and cozy - leaning towards a modernized Victorian feel with lots of dark wood and dark furnishings. This would be a nice place to take a date if you're looking for an intimate atmosphere. Our party all ordered the fried chicken - which, really, we could have split one and just added some appetizers to feed all three of us. There is easily half a chicken on each plate. The chicken was super crispy, not greasy at all and still moist inside, truly excellent! Sadly the sides of mashed potatoes and coleslaw were just average at best. The mashed potatoes in particular were disappointingly tasteless and slightly lumpy which cost the dish a star in our ratings. We opted just to share an apple tarte tatin for dessert and the staff dressed it up with a birthday candle for us. Service was unobtrusive to the point where we had to flag down a waiter for more water. Overall, a good but not amazing meal.

The iced coffee drinks were wayyy too sweet and not mixed at all so the bottom felt like slurping condensed milk and granulated sugar. We tried the tres leches latte, coquito latte, honey almond latte and the cafe con leche. The sweetness was far too much to distinguish any other flavor in the first 2, but the hot honey almond latte was delicious! We took a slice of tres leches to go which was just ok. I'm hoping to go back and try the chicken waffles or some of the fresh Caribbean juice flavors!

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Gigi's during a family trip to the Hudson Valley…read more The aggregated 3.5 star rating (at the time we visited) had me thinking "it's probably fine" but didn't expect much more. I got more! We were in the back room with a large 2 family party and everyone had a good experience. The staff was attentive and took great care of us. The star of the show for me was the Bianca "Skizza" - Skizzas are what they call their pizza-like experience....super thin dough, not quite NYC style in its taste and texture, but at least as thin with a unique overall texture and flavor to it. The kind of taste that sticks with you and makes you wonder "when can I have that again." I tend to get margherita or a basic tomato cheese situation to suss out any place offering pizza of any kind, but strayed from my comfort level and went for the Bianca which was truly a delicious experience. Gigi Rosemary Fig Jam, Pear, Arugula, Goat Cheese, Mozzarella, Truffle Oil created a super delicious and crave worthy experience. I finished the whole pie by myself with no issues. (Okay, maybe my wife had a slice, it's hard to remember...I just remember every bite being delicious.) There are other vegetarian options including pastas and a lentil soup. Plus a delicious looking "Barbina" salad, and the menu is helpfully labeled with which items are vegetarian. There was something for everyone at Gigi's and everyone in our 16 member+ party was happy to have eaten there.

This super orange spot however, is hard to miss located on Old Route 299 in Highland, NY. And the interior at Órale M., is just as colorful with Mexican ceiling banners and wall murals. At $16 or so for small, 'street-style' shrimp tacos, they were a bit more than what I wanted to pay- but hey...seafood prices right? The doubly-ply tacos were filled with diced and succulent+seasony shrimp. The right amount of veg was nice too. I've been to Mexican spots where tomato+onions+cilantro overpowers the protein- but not here which I liked. Shrimp tails were cooked with the cut up shrimp and not sure if this was an oversight(?) or, just how they do(?). The meal was comforting at least..... without the tails of course. My diluted-looking horchata had wonderful taste- but, service was nice and so were the complimentary chips and salsa.
