The service was great and my server was super attentive. I went on a Monday (work day). so did not experience any wait time. Highly recommend this cute spot in Pearl River!

It was busy and with outdoor seating, people had a long wait just to sit down. It's a small place so in a weekend be prepared to wait a long time! The food was good. I gave it 3 stars because the lady (I guess she was the manager rudely told us to leave as there are people waiting to sit down. She could have spoken to us differently and we had just finished eating. Especially since she made us wait close to an hour for our food, she could've been nicer. The wait staff was pilot and pleasant. But she wasn't. Unless you're willing to wait and wait and have the manager tell you to leave rudely, I would go somewhere else or go on a weekday. I will not be back. I've been treated better at a fast food joint.

Breakfast is served until 11:30 and they have a a few egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches and French toast. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast and liked the egg, potatoes (mixture of white and sweet, which was nice), and toast except the toast was hard pieces of baguette ($10). The omelette with potatoes was a pretty plate and good even though the cheese was initially forgotten. They also have sandwiches, salads, burgers and pizza on the menu, the latter of which is made in a brick oven. The pastries didn't look that fresh or enticing but we didn't order any so can't comment on the quality. There's indoor and outdoor seating and service was very nice. They have a shared parking lot with other businesses and more parking out back. Very close to Hungry hollow food coop so make a stop there if you have time!

Organic, local items and produce. Kind owner. When we were there we saw a family come in with their young toddler. He immediately welcomed them and said I saved this for you! And it was a bag of unpackaged potatoes and a little empty basket on their produce shelf for him to go unpack. He was delighted and went over to do his big boy job. So cute!

They had some growing pains in the past (seems like any of the negative reviews are over 10 years old), but they must have taken feedback seriously, and consistently re-blossomed. They are now, again, my favorite place to find healthy food and a wonderful sense of community. Whole Foods is handy, but not cheap, and cannot compete with the amount of in-season local food available here.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and the hard working staff were non-stop, satisfying the fully-commited attendance. Thank goodness that I made reservations, which I highly suggest, or else you're going to probably have a double digit wait time. I was very impressed with the serving sizes and the freshness of their ingredients. I also appreciated how they placed the salad that accompanied my omelet in a separate bowl. The entrees were: Truffle Infused Wild Mushroom Omelette (wild mushrooms, shaved parmesan, roasted potato hash, and a side salad). Every bite was filled with every ingredient and this item is highly recommended. Whiskey Burger (8 Oz. beef patty, double cut bacon, apple jack barbecue sauce, sharp cheddar cheese, pickle, caramelized onions). This burger was juicy, throughout, and the sweet potato fries side was heavenly salty. The last entree was the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (whipped ricotta, lemon zest, fresh fruit and berries). Theses pancakes were t.h.i.c.k. and the fruit was plentiful. I also ordered an Apple and Pear Salad for takeout and it was AMAZING! It was large enough for two servings and the vinaigrette dressing was exquisite.

There were a bunch of breakfast specials and we both ordered the lady liberty. You get all of their best: French toast, bacon, sausage, and two eggs your way.

The sausage here is hands down my favorite in the area as you can enjoy the crisp outer skin and a delicious sausage inside. Eggs here are great as they get them from Goffle Farms. I always prefer over easy. The toast here is always amazing and delicious as they use quality bread. Service is good however when we went to pay I was standing up at the counter and the girl working the register took people on line behind me as if she didn't see me.

All that and a couple of cans of soda for a reasonable $60ish. My wife and I shared the three bowls, all were enjoyable with the Michael Symon being a standout for us. That said, the Marc Murphy salad was fresh and the dill and scallions were delicious and the poke bowl featured tons of flavor and fresh fish. The Michael Symon bowl was filling and had a nice kick to it. My daughter enjoyed the Marcus Samuelson fried chicken sandwich and fries. We will certainly return!

I can simultaneously satisfy my conflicting food cravings, try new items/restaurants each time, or easily wrangle an order for a group of people who can't agree on anything. Pad Thai AND buffalo wings? Sure. Tacos and poke? Done. Now, the variety alone wouldn't win me over if the food were mediocre, but the quality is also for the most part very good. Everything from my previous review still stands, so consider this an update featuring more food photos and a highlight reel of some of my favorites so far (I haven't worked through the entire restaurant roster yet but have experienced a representative enough sample). My faves: 1. Wing Trip: consistently excellent wings. Probably the item I order most frequently. 2. Royal Greens: there don't seem to be any fast-casual salad chains in Rockland County, so I get my salad fix here. The greens are fresh and crisp, with plenty or Chef Creation options or you can opt for a custom bowl made according to your liking. The dressings are really good too. 3. Green curry from SriPraPhai: thick, garlicky curry gravy with just the right kick - a perfect "American medium spicy" that won't traumatize the timid. The pad Thai deserves a mention too: they use broad noodles for this, with a springy-chewy texture, and a more fragrant, complex flavor than your standard version. 4. Garlic parmesan mozzarella sticks from Alanza Pizza: a top seller and you can see why. These aren't just any sad, frozen diner mozzarella sticks you've had. My kid went wild for those. 5. Magnolia Bakery's banana pudding with wafer cookie bits: rich, classic and just a little bit extra, kinda like how I plan to age. 6. Chocolate pudding from Tejas Barbeque: unassuming in appearance but dangerously creamy, more mousse than pudding. As someone who's generally indifferent to both sweets and chocolate, I polished this off with relish. 7. Lastly, pork belly from Tejas Barbeque: PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!! I haven't seen it since the early days so can only assume it's been discontinued. Crackling skin, melt-in-your-mouth tender, shamelessly fatty and decadent. If you're a chicharrón fan, you'll love this deluxe upgrade. Since my last review, Wonder has added some new features that further expand your options: They now function like Seamless/Grubhub/DoorDash in that you can order from other local restaurants too. This can confuse the uninitiated, so if you only want the actual Wonder restaurants (you know, the whole reason you're here), click on the "Wonder Restaurants" button on top, or look for categories labeled "Made at Wonder." They've also partnered with Blue Apron, which is a pleasant surprise. I subscribed to BA's meal kits for a while when I lived in the city, as their offerings were more gourmet and interesting compared to competing meal kit delivery services like HelloFresh (though my absolute favorite was Plated, RIP). Haven't tried it through the Wonder app yet but nice to know it's there for those days you want to cook but don't feel like spending hours on meal planning/prepping. The orders are always super well packaged. Not every dish is a winner, but the hit rate is high enough to keep me coming back, and there's more here to like than not.
