Had a wonderful dinner at Bistro 12. Small, intimate dining space with great seafood and meat dishes. Our table ordered the sardine appetizer and lobster bisque - both delicious and generous portions. For our main courses, we ordered the seafood risotto, seafood cappellini, veal chop and halibut with lemon beurre blanc. All were ample portions and well-prepared. The halibut was fabulous and the grilled veal chop was very tender and cooked to perfection! What a special place! Hope to return again!

I originally had a not-so-great experience here, but having given it a few more times to redeem itself, it seems to have gotten itself together. We like the creativity that Chef Psilakis uses when putting his menu together. His meatballs appetizer, smothered in cracked olives is wonderful, as is the dips sampler. I love their lamb burger and their souvlaki kebabs are accompanied by delish smashed fries. I never had their desserts so I can't comment. Service can be slow, but I actually enjoy a slower paced meal than being rushed when I am eating out so I don't mind it. Their drinks, albeit pricey, are very well-executed.

owner is obnoxious, arrogant, not nice. its obvious he is content with his following, his cash menu and doesn't care about new costumers or the patron's experience. he's rolling in dough, food reviews - so who cares.we walked in, (awful smelling) minimal greeting, no menu explanation. sangria is $34 a bottle, no one glass, one beer, and dishes while they looked great -- unless you are a regular, ready to spend a wad of cash- don't think they will take you through the menu or invite you to dine. Your just a sale. And there goal is to feed you and move the table.also you are sitting on top of others - and we had loud bunch of yentas - literally men and women so loud and boisterous - we walked out. didn't even sip water. I lost my appetite.

Art Cafe's cuisine is inspired by the many coffee shops that you might find in the streets of Tel Aviv and Europe, with a mix of traditional Israeli recipes and some new creative flavors. Not only do we have a passion for great taste but we also focus on

We were looking for a lunch spot while traveling. Of course, I turned to Trip Advisor. This spot is just off the highway a bit; nice little drive through the scenic village of Nyack, NY.Parking is on the street so my be a bit of a challenge but we found a spot just a block away in the downtown area. Lots of cute shops to pass.It is metered parking.The cafe is small but they expand their area with outdoor seating under umbrelled tables.Enter to a host table and wait to be seated. Seating is at tables or we sat at a bench with cushions.They offer a lot of Middle Eastern themed dishes prepared for western taste. They offer a variety of interesting beverages including some alcoholic ones. I had pressed coffee (decaffeinated) and my table mate had yerba mate that was served in a pot. My pressed coffee was a good sized pot that got me several cups.We ordered the mezza plate so we could try a number of idshes. They offer appetizers, salads, sandwiches, breakfast items and a kids menu selection.I will say to be sure to not get seated next to the bathrooms. They had two talbes right at the bathroom door and I felt sorry for the people sitting there. I wouldn't have enjoyed all the extra traffic.They had a pastry counter and we serving a lot of to-go orders.We loved the food and our service was good. Prices were reasonable for the area.

I agree with the one other terrible review-I wonder if the positive reviews were of the same place. The tip off should have been only 6 other people between 6 and 8:45 pm on a Friday evening! The appetizers were below average. But the paella valenciana was horrible. Even the rice was poor. It had mainly large chunks of chicken. I found them inedible.Were they spoiled? Dessert was a very small piece of cheese cake. Fine, if good-but below average. Even the sangria was below average. Service was ok with only only two other tables most of the time

The best Greek food around. I ordered the Greek salad with grilled shrimp and it was delicious. Iâve also had it with grilled octopus and grilled chicken which are both fantastic. The salad ingredients are fresh and the tomatoes are ruby red, perfectly riped. It comes with pita. Friends ordered the lamb gyro and said it was amazing.
