First time at Westville and it didn't disappoint. Had a non-alcoholic Blueberry Spritz, grilled salmon with fries and carrots. Was good. Apple pie was also good and not overly sweet. Nice to have Westville in the Long Island City neighborhood: Welcome!

About the restaurant
Polo and Stephanie opened Meadowsweet together in 2014 and they see it as an extension of their home. They both enjoy good food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere to dine in and that is exactly what they want their guests to experience when visiting Meadowsweet. When they are not at Meadowsweet you will find them upstate at Meadowsweet Farm with their daughter and son where they grow some amazing vegetables with Polo’s Dad to serve at Meadowsweet. They look forward to seeing you at Meadowsweet soon!

About the restaurant
Whether you're visiting from down the block here in Tribeca or from halfway around the world, Chambers aspires to be on top of your list of favorite neighborhood restaurants. We keep it down-to-earth. We're bound to start you off with something great to drink, alcoholic or not, and maybe some snacks while you look over the menu. We went to market this morning and we're going to make some delicious home cooked food and listen to some groovy music. And we've put together an excellent collection of soulful wines, spirits, and fermented beverages that we're excited to share with you. At the end of the day, we're having a few people over for dinner. We look forward to welcoming you in.

About the restaurant
Loring Place by award winning Chef Dan Kluger is located at 21 W. 8th Street in the heart of New York's Greenwich Village. The restaurant is the culmination of a lifelong dream for the chef who has cooked in some of New York’s most beloved restaurants, for the city’s top restaurateurs. At Loring Place, chef Kluger’s skill for creating delicious market-driven dishes, with unexpected but incredibly pleasing flavor combinations, is on full display. The menu, comprised of small and large shareable plates, spotlights farms and farmers whom Kluger has gotten to know intimately over 20+ years of frequenting the Union Square Greenmarket.

Lo, our Server, was very personable and such a pleasure to interact with... she took great care of us! The Bartender has to be one of the best in the City, with some of the most well-balanced Brunch drinks I have had... the LP Spritz was delish! Thank you for a great Brunch!!!

About the restaurant
Chef-favorite, late-night brasserie featuring raw bar, seafood, American dishes & cocktails in a convivial setting. Blue Ribbon's bustling dining room and friendly bar have been serving neighborhood regulars and culinary industry insiders since 1992. The Bromberg Brothers' eclectic vision first sprang to life here and has blossomed into an iconic destination known for its late-night dining scene where the country's top chefs congregate and eat after closing their own kitchens. Whether you're craving a burger and a beer, a hanger steak and a pint, a roasted rack of lamb and a deep red cabernet or the famed shellfish platter and champagne, Blue Ribbon is famously open late, seven nights a week.

My new favorite restaurant of its stylish, fine-food (fine as in "fine dining" as opposed to plainer fare), upscale but reasonably priced type. Love it.
