- AAnitaNew Jersey •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe enjoyed our dinner beyond all measure. The cheese curds were delicious and I asked for garlic aioli dipping sauce to have with them. It was the perfect accompaniment. My husband had Spanish Chicken & Rice. He loved his dish and I had chicken and waffles with a honey aioli. Both dishes were next level great with the chicken being tender and juicy and flavorful and we followed those amazing meals with a delicious lace de leche bread pudding with vanilla ice cream so great, I ordered one additional to go! Kudos to the chef! We used to visit a lot prior to COVID and this honestly made us so happy to see this establishment survive and not just survive…improve which is hard when they already were top tier! The wait staff was just the right amount of attentive too!More infoUnion and FinchPrice: Moderate• American• Allentown•4.8

The mushroom to-ban appetizer is always to die for. The service is friendly. One of our favorites spots to come for sushi.More infoKome Fine Japanese CuisinePrice: Moderate• Japanese• Center Valley•4.7
- JJasonNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on 29 Dec 2024We were a party of 6 (made the reservation the same day and had 2 openings - thank goodness) and each person got something different so we got a bunch of items. All of our drinks were mixed well and the holiday coquito was a surprise as it was a house special. -Nachos came loaded & the street corn was amazing! - House guac and churros were pretty basic but overall good. Churros were dry and needed that "sugar seasoning" - Compared to all the apps, the Quesadilla was on the smaller size; think 4-5 pieces tiny pieces (looked like some kid's meal). - Entrees (Salmon, Steak, Chicken, tacos) serving sizes were up to par and cooked to perfection. Our server (Lenny) was ON POINT with everything; he remembered all the orders w/o writing them down and kept the refills on rotation. He kept circling making sure we were doing okay and never had to ask for anything twice. The customer service and attention to detail along with the the other waitstaff (servers, food runners, host) were also on point; no one had to wait on food and their turnover from apps/entree/dessert was top. It made the overall experience a delight.More infoTorre RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Center Valley•4.6
