    We had a truly amazing dinner on Christmas Eve! The service was wonderful. The atmosphere was great. The music was fantastic. It was lively enough, but we were still able to have conversations with each other. And the food was not only amazing, but the portions were fantastic and really felt like we got good value.! I highly recommend the Sicilian style pork chop!

    I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to go here. Needed a place to dine for Christmas Eve and since Encore by Goodfellas was opened I decided to make a reservation. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I was impressed with the upscale classy decor. We were greeted by the hostess who took us to the upstairs level that we requested only to be more impressed with the atmosphere and classy vibe. The waitstaff was super attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. AND….what a menu! A large array of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, steaks, seafood veal, pork, and chicken. Took me 15 minutes alone to decide what I would order, Well we placed the order and one dish was better than the next, absolutely outstanding and well presented large portions, Dessert was out of this world as well, Great Chef!!! Our dinner was so special that we decided to make another reservation for a few weeks down the line. Encore doesn’t deserve 5 stars, it deserves 10. Now this is coming from a native New Yorker who has had access to all the finest restaurants ( and dined in most of them as well). Encore by Goodfellas stands amongst them’

    The food was amazing beginning to end. The ricotta crostini appetizer was sooo good. The filet mignon cooked perfectly and salad and sauces had so much flavor!! Prices were extremely reasonable!! Service excellent! Will definitely go back!

    We ate at the bar. Service by Kat & Vinnie was impeccable. Attentive but not intrusive. The background music lent a sophisticated, luxurious vibe to our evening. Would highly recommend & hope to return soon! ❤

    Very good meal, we weren’t rushed and enjoyed a leisurely evening with friends. Like the changes in set up and decor. Our server was very attentive.
