Title: Stellar Flavors and Memorable Delights at New York Cafe

Rating: ★★★★☆

Review: My recent dining experience at New York Cafe left me thoroughly satisfied and impressed. This trendy establishment not only delivers mouthwatering burgers and delectable fries but also surprises its patrons with unique flavors that elevate their culinary offerings.

Let's begin with the original burgers. The taste was outstanding, and the quality of the ingredients used was evident in every bite. The patties were juicy, perfectly cooked, and had a tantalizing blend of flavors. Accompanied by a soft, toasted bun, the combination was a true delight for the taste buds. The balance of traditional elements and a touch of innovation made these burgers truly stand out.

Speaking of fries, they were okay. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Not seasoned.

One noteworthy item on the menu was the lamb burger, skillfully enhanced by the addition of fig jam. This surprising combination took the dining experience to another level. The succulent lamb patty paired with the sweet and tangy flavor of the fig jam created a harmonious fusion that was simply sublime. It's a marriage of flavors that will leave a lasting impression.

However, it was the seared scallops that truly stole the spotlight. Expertly cooked to perfection, these delicate morsels of seafood embodied the epitome of elegance and refinement. With a beautiful sear on the outside and a tender, buttery texture inside, every bite was a heavenly symphony of flavors. The seared scallops were undeniably the showstopper of the evening.

The ambiance of New York Cafe further enriched my dining experience. The dark wood rustic decor contributed to a haunting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for friends gathering or a casual dinner date.

The only reason I'm not giving it a full five-star rating is because of the slightly higher prices and the occasional waiting time during peak hours. However, the quality of the food and the impeccable taste more than compensate for these minor inconveniences.

In conclusion, New York Cafe is a culinary gem that every food enthusiast should visit. The original burgers, delicious fries, and standout dishes like the lamb burger with fig jam and the seared scallops ensure a memorable and satisfying dining experience. Make sure to visit this establishment, and prepare to be impressed by their stellar flavors and...

My husband used to go to this cafe when he worked on the cruise ship a couple of years ago. He used to say the food and service were really good. We took a cruise this year and thought to visit the place. I ordered the bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon. When it arrived (after waiting 30minutes), it wasn't what I expected. They mix the cream cheese with salmon flakes and put it on a hot bagel to serve like a sandwich. Just know that you don't get sides of cream cheese and smoke salmon if that's what you are wanting. But this wasn't the big disappointment. One of the servers was just not a nice person. He's the young skinny white guy with a moustache. I'm not sure if he was having a bad day but it was too early for the snippiness.

They were busy and hadn't cleaned all the tables yet. That never bothered us - we just sat down knowing it was going to be cleaned. I had saw a cash tip was hidden under a creamer bowl and didn't want it to be missed. I pointed it out to the guy. Instead of just saying "Thanks" or not saying anything, he replies in a rude tone, "people don't sit down until this is done." I apologized immediately because of how harsh it hit me. Thank goodness, he wasn't our server after that because I think we would've left. Luckily, we had another server who made a delicious mocha latte and was really sweet to us. I wished I had cash because I would've made sure this server got the tip and not have to share it with rude guy. Later, I saw how he was snippy at another couple. My husband was disappointed with this experience when he's had such good memories before. Hopefully, you'll have a better experience...

Unfortunately th service was really disappointing. The server forgot our poutine order, then when we got the bill (from a different server), we specifically asked if the poutine was on there and they said no. We paid and got a text of our receipt and the poutine was indeed on the bill for $14. The salmon fish and chips were great. No kids menu. The restaurant is seat yourself so if there's no tables, you're waiting until someone moves. At first I think it was great but ultimately left disappointed.

Maybe we just had bad luck. They placed the table specials on our table after we ordered so we tried to order more but it fell through. It seemed like maybe they were trying to turn the tables over too fast? It would be better honestly if they had a hostess on port days? At first I thought it was awesome because they were trying to seat is as fast as possible but then we struggled to get the servers attention.

Honestly I'm really disappointed with the dishonesty. We specifically asked what was on the bill, they read the bill to us, then we mentioned the poutine was never brought, we were told that we were not charged. Then to get a bill that not only included it but we paid a gratuity for it was...
