Was craving tomato soup...again....and this spot had a delicious tomato soup with tortellini. I…read moreordered a large right away. As I waited, I walked over to the sandwich and wrap section. I decided to order a Caesar wrap. I went with whole wheat option and just a 1/2 a wrap as the large soup was pretty big. After my meal was ready to go, a lady at the register motioned me over. When I went to pay, she charged me $8.50 for the (1/2) wrap + a drink, the soup = $12.75! "I ordered just 1/2 a wrap, not the whole wrap" "yes, $8.50, some items are more expensive" hmmm....this sounds fishy. Whatever I agreed to be robbed. When I handed her my $10 and $5 bill, she inspected my $10 bill with a slight rip on the edge and looked back at me. "Do you have a different bill?" O-M-G what is this the federal reserve bank?! I handed her my twenty. Never again will I step foot in this place. *The soup was pretty good probably a 4 star. Wrap was okay but certainly NOT WORTH $8.50. Maybe $5-

Even with their "midtown prices," it still represents better value for a price of $7.50 than what you can get at Chipotle down the block or Cafe Metro a few doors north. For 7.50, a lunch special of 16oz salad (with 3 veggie ingredients) and a 1/2 burrito wrap (loaded with yellow rice, grilled chicken, onions, mango salsa, guacamole, olives, and mushrooms) always kept me full for the entire afternoon. Beware of the dirty looks from Mr. Burrito Guy if you load up your wrap with enough ingredients to burst! For $7.50, you get load up a 32oz mixed greens salad with 5 ingredients and bagel chips (upon request). Make sure to get a card for the Buy 9 Get 1 Free promo. To truly put that price into perspective... For 7.50, Cosi won't even let you make your own salad!

I ended up making a bowl with tostones (fried plaintains), rice and peas, and chicharron de pollo (fried chicken). The food was seasoned well, however, I felt it leaned a little dry. This may have been my fault with my choices. The stand also features grab-as-you-go sauces with cups on the side which I highly recommend you indulge yourself with. Just a warning, the food can be HEAVY so it may put you to sleep at your desk if you're not careful. Price-wise Que Chevere is fairly reasonable because of the huge portions. I felt like this could have easily been two meals. Overall, I think this is one of the better stands at Urbanspace. The service is fast, food is interesting, and the portions are large.

They are very professional and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great caterer.

Diva Delish is spearheaded by the amazing talents of its chef, Carla Louis. When you taste her cooking, you will understand the passion, care, and meticulousness that is added to every dish. It's food made by someone who truly loves what she does. Every bite is a burst of unique season blends - from the spicy to the sweet dessert. My 8-year-old son still asks for the mac and cheese every so often and I only wish I made it half as good as she does! Let's talk about the service. They arrive and set up on time with a smile and friendly assurance that everything is just as you ordered it. Reliable, lovely, and on time. What more can you ask for? They leave you with a truly memorable experience.

I work for a not-for-profit, and it was challenging, to say the least, to coordinate with our fiscal department, but McDuff was professional, patient and went above and beyond to ensure that our first Black History Month event, in front of our organization's top brass, was top notch! We asked him to make "cultural cuisine" to fit with our theme. He prepared a wide array of food, including, black rice, curried chick peas, Moroccan chicken, four cheese mac n cheese and collard greens, that perfectly suited the diverse palates in the room. He arrived, set up and even stayed to enjoy the programming. He is cool under pressure and I cannot wait to work with him again. I would highly recommend McDuff Goldman Events for all of your catering and special event needs!

So far, my favorites are the Rasta Pasta with Chicken (or shrimp) and the lemon pepper wings. I'm not a huge fan of seafood, however I also had the opportunity to try the whiting, and it was fresh and light! Chef Talon has constructed a menu that plays to perfection and isn't overwhelming when viewing. There are also specials on occasion and brunch items, so you are never bored with the offerings. When the weather is nice, their outdoor dining space is beautiful, fenced in and just a great ambiance to enjoy a meal al-fresco. I will add photos later on. As a testament to deliciousness, I am so excited to eat my food when it arrives, that I have forgotten to snap a picture before. That RARELY happens!

Pancit negra definitely could wind up on some Best of 2022 lists. With components like preserved ramp ajo blanco and squid avocado salsa verde, it's an unclassifiable delight. Forgive my lack of the proper terminology, but the bagoong XO sauce in the Apples XO harkens back to some of the classic edgier Filipino sauces I've encountered. Like the others, there's shrimp, unlike the others, Spam is present. Putting this on apples provides a contrast worthy of an 80s buddy cop movie. I didn't get to try the Taho parfait but will attest to its Instagrammability.
