Opus 465 is probably my favorite restaurant in Westchester so far. I love the food and ambiance! There’s a relaxed atmosphere. Reminds me a little of The King’s Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia (another awesome dining experience). I love cozy places… While I’m on the subject of Colonial Williamsburg, I think it’s a wonderful …
Crabtree’s Kittle House Restaurant & Inn
A few years ago, we dined at Crabtree’s Kittle House Restaurant & Inn for the first time around Thanksgiving or Christmas (not sure which one). We had a nice dinner. A staff returned my “doggie bag” in the shape of a tinfoil swan… oh, the little things that delight me =)… We subsequently re-visited for …
Takayama Japanese Restaurant
Really consistently great japanese cuisine. We’ve dined here at least twice, but I mostly order take-out since Andrew rarely has the urge to eat japanese food. I usually request their beef udon in vegetable soap, ebi mostly sometimes amaebi, avocado cucumber rolls, and abalone rolls (if they’re luckily available). I’ve gotten too used to their …
Grappolo Locanda Restaurant
I’ve only dined here once and had a very nice birthday dinner in 2006. It was slightly expensive but well worth it. I have to give it another chance, especially since I was very preoccupied that evening with getting back home earlier to complete a graduate assignment for my Leadership & Strategies course =P. This …
Le Jardin du Roi Restaurant
I’ve dined here several times and have never been disappointed. I think next time I should sit outside for weekend brunch since I’ve only had dinners here. The staff is always very pleasant and helpful. The food of course, impeccable. I’ve always thought of this restaurant as having a dark and romantic evening ambiance. Le …
La Crémaillére Restaurant
Described in another review as “a charming country French restaurant nestled in a 1750 white clapboard farmhouse.” We ate here twice and had excellent experiences both times. Slightly expensive (though well worth it for special occasions). La Crémaillére Restaurant 46 Bedford-Banksville Road Bedford, NY 10506 914-234-9647
North Square in Manhattan
My husband and I ate at North Square Restaurant a couple of times and liked it very much. From what I remember, the food was tasty, the price was reasonable for its quality, the staff were attentive, and the decor was beautiful. North Square Restaurant Washington Square Hotel 103 Waverly Place (at MacDougal Street) New …
The Blazer Pub
My brother-in-law, Matt, visited us this week. We treated him to dinner at The Blazer Pub (a place we knew he would like). Blazer’s is described as having “true roadfood ambiance.” This pub was newly renovated due to an electrical fire (I believe a squirrel is to blame) which occurred November 23, 2007. They were …
Flying Pig on Lexington
I was treated on my birthday to a wonderful dinner at The Flying Pig. The restaurant was cozy, food was great (loved the steak), and the staff was friendly and attentive. I tried to ignore the loud drunk lady sitting in the back corner with friends (I guess she was celebrating her birthday too). We …
