fishes n' more

restaurant name certainly leaves something to desired, as did the crazy man singing crappy songs across the restaurant. not a lot of ambiance, but the food was very fresh and the apple strudel was so yummy.

gina: yum

gasparito

not worth the money. food was interesting, but not a go again type of place. service was very good though.

gina: YUCK

madame janette

in aruba

tastiest food in aruba that we had

but pricey (but not by nyc standards)

service was not so hot (the "au gratin incident")

almond grouper with spinach sauce was AMAZING
rack of lamb very good as well

lobster ravioli appetizer was meh

we had some sort of pumpkin seed ice cream and souffle that was overwhelmingly tasty

gina: yum+ (definitely a YUM if service wasn't so crappy)

negril chelsea

the free bean soup was tasty
codfish fritters were really good

side of mashed green bananas were really good

for some reason, don't remember the main dishes we had, but they were good.

gina: yum

murray's bagels

tasty! tasty! different from h&h, but good.

gina: YUM

tia pol

food was ok, but pretty expensive for what it is. service was somewhat bad. would not come here again. not gross, but not worth it.

gina: yum/YUCK

cookshop

brunch. everything was yummo. huevos rancheros were really really good. super indulgent. cookshop scramble was incredible, which is strange because scrambled eggs are hard to make so tasty. beef brisket hash was a bit disappointing.

expensive, and definitely should get a reservation unless you want a super long wait.

the space is beautiful, and gets good light.

gina: YUM

Grand Sichuan

tasty and a good deal. spicy.

gina: yum +

Righteous Urban Barbeque

pulled pork sandwich very good, and the pulled chicken sandwich was good as well.

brisket is delicious, and the serving is huge.

had a few bites of the bbq chicken which was surprisingly moist and delicious.

sides, however, are somewhat lacking. greens were not good. coleslaw and potato salad were ok.

gina: YUM

Bouley

fixed price lunch

was pretty good, but not phenomenal

the phyllo crusted shrimp, squid, sea scallop and crabmeat was amazing.
the baby skate was also very tasty.

gina: yum+
