The Sugar Bar is the most down home, friendly, high end musical experience in town. Their open mic Thursday's showcases talent from all over the world. The house band is fantastic. The bar scene and the food are perfect. The entire experience stems from the engaging personality of Valerie Simpson. What a thrill!

We had a family dinner at Chocolat and it was a phenomenal experience for all of us! Every plate was clean or brought home. My catfish and grits were outstanding! Jonesing to get back there to have it again. The hostess and servers were pleasant and attentive, and the restrooms are clean. This is my 3rd time there and the establishment has remained consistent in quality of service! Definitely recommend!

We come to Blu on the Hudson every year for our anniversary dinner, and it’s always a great experience. The food and drinks are excellent, the atmosphere and music make the evening feel special, and the staff is wonderful. It’s become a tradition we look forward to every year.

Overall it was fantastic! I will be back! Most of the food was outstanding! They were short staffed so this had a little impact, we didn’t get our wine until after we’d finished our meal, but minor detail. The atmosphere, ambience, food, was brilliant. Love this Black establishment and we will be back! Thanks File for our last meal In New York!

Our experience at the The Lighthouse was very delightful! We were seated in the Birthday section with lots of greenery. We were celebrating our Anniversary! The food menu was extensive with lots of seafood, pasta, great sides, macaroni and lobster, greens, candied yams (delicious)! All of our meals were delicious and great portions! We were served a large piece of carrot cake with a sparkler for our Anniversary! Great experience and we will visit again and recommend to our friends and family!
