Kathy’s 4-star review: Visited again today for lunch and still stand by review from two years ago. Food is delicious; definitely worth the visit, as well as the (relatively high) price for Mexican/tacos. We shared smoked mango to start, and for our mains got flank steak and lamb barbacoa tacos. With two non-alcoholic drinks total $74 for lunch before tip. Our server, Regina, was quick, efficient, hard working and attentive. She managed to be everywhere and attentive to everyone yet her demeanor was relaxed and welcoming - great work Regina! If not for the gracious and efficient wait staff and amazing food, this review would be different because the attitude from the person working the door was polar opposite. You would have thought she was running the whole place by herself for the level of stress she displayed. When a couple that arrived after us asked if they could sit at a different table her reply was "no". Period. Not sure if she reconsidered or had a moment of clarity but the hostess came back in a few and said the table they wanted was free and she could move them. Whew! Definitely recommend Oxomoco, especially for lunch since parking in the area can be tight and I bet that evenings and weekends it's hard to get a table. Michelin recommended 3 years in a row.

Kathy’s 4-star review: This homey Portuguese restaurant is tucked in a stand-alone location with convenient parking right on Jericho Turnpike. On the weeknight we visited you could tell they have a strong repeat crowd and families feel comfortable bringing the kids to dinner at this white tablecloth, professionally staffed, well run establishment. In spite of not having a reservation we were warmly welcomed and clearly got lucky as there were almost no empty tables on a Thursday night. Furthermore we lingered at our table for 4, visiting for an extended period of time with no rush whatsoever, no body language or subtle suggestion from the staff. Our group enjoyed the special homemade lobster ravioli, steak and paella, with portions either perfect or abundant; the paella was enough for two. Pitcher of sangria was perfect for two+ glasses each. Constant refilling of water glasses, surveying the room, smiles and happy glances all around, you could tell the staff and the guests here have a great time. Including drinks, no dessert, approximately $60pp, all-in for a yummy meal and a memorable evening. -

Kathy’s 4-star review: Valdari earns 4 stars relative to the Italian offerings in the Bell Blvd/Bayside area, and due to a nice menu, generous portion size and real wood fired pizza. We stepped in for a quick dinner of pizza and beer. There was a nice neighborhood vibe, the place was about 2/3 full on a Thursday, wait staff welcoming, and on their toes. Above all we observed other diners, relaxed smiles on their faces, laughing and enjoying their meals and their experience.The atmosphere was friendly, we were well attended to. They have a full bar, were pleased to find several beers on tap. Our pizzas: Quattro Stagioni, Sausage and Broccoli - came out quickly, hot and puffy, slightly charred, with a good bite and the right amount, if not generous toppings. On a prior visit we were somewhat less impressed with the pizza, but came back. This time their pizzaiolo was on point. We ordered 2 more pies to go, and our sharp, thoughtful server brought us the check timed perfectly so we'd be ready to leave as soon as our pizza was boxed. Right now Valdari is a win, with very good brick oven pizza in Bayside. No need for the hike to Manhattan. -
Kathy’s 4-star review: We agree, Yummy! Celebrating their 2nd anniversary on Francis Lewis Blvd, Yummy noodle is a quality local option when we are craving dumplings, noodles and comfort. They use a beautiful, piping hot light broth as their base and fill it up with a variety of noodle options and meats. Take out orders are packed smartly. We phoned in our order and found the staff very attentive, friendly and professional. They're busy on weekends, so if you don't want a tight crowd or have much time, visit early in the week when the crowd is light and they can give you full attention. -

Kathy’s 4-star review: It's great to have a clean, reliable taco spot (not a food truck) in the area, and Taco Azul is quickly becoming a favorite in our house. The simplicity and low price point of a taco makes this business model challenging, and we really want to see this place thrive. Take out packages are packed with care, all menu items we have ordered were fresh and felt homemade. Extra care was given to their special sauces which have been tossed in outgoing orders generously. Delicious Al pastor and carnitas tacos. Birria tacos with consommé are savory yumminess. Friendly, attentive staff, high quality fare coming out of the kitchen, fresh, clean restaurant with lively decor - lucky for Whitestone to have this nice spot. Recommend

Kathy’s 4-star review: Same price cash or credit. I only stop for gas, best prices in the area. I always use premium and can fill up for under $35. Never had a problem. -
Kathy’s 3-star review: Maybe this place was just too hyped for me. It's really a diner with an emphasis on several over the top breakfast dishes. Had the blueberry pancakes, one of their signature dishes. I found them to be nothing special. Kind of feels like everything has whipped cream on it so the idea of it is delicious but the excitement was lost on me. Because it's a popular place people line up outside and the crew looks to turn over the tables quickly so this is not the place for a leisurely meal. If a quick, high calorie gut busting meal is what you want this is your place. I won't become a regular. -

Kathy’s 4-star review: 3-plus stars for the quality of the food and authentic decor/feel. Family-owned, with owners and relatives present, running the show = plus. Everything prepared on-site from spaetzle to dessert = plus. Not an extensive beer menu, a few real German beers on tap served at just the right chill. Beer was ultra-fresh because they're always moving it = plus. Everything that favorable reviews say about the schnitzel, goulash, smoked fish and desserts we found to be true. Then ask yourself how many German places are on your favorites list? Seems to me German places - not beer gardens - actual "food-forward restaurants, have been not able to hang on in our area, in general. For that alone I'd like to see this place stay around. 4 stars - recommend. -
