Greenvale Townhouse Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

We had a show at the Tilles Center to attend and needed to grab a bite to eat beforehand. we tried the Barefoot Peddler a block away but the wait was too long. And the place was too noisy. I knew of the Townhouse only from Google Maps but we needed a place to get something quick. This has got to be THE BEST diner we've ever eaten at. Bar none !!! The 2 pork chops were like fillet mignon. Over an inch thick, juicy and you could cut them with a fork. The salmon was just as juicy and moist. And the fillet was size of the plate ! And you just have to get the sautéed escarole, with onions, garlic & mushrooms. The food was absolutely top notch, huge portions, and the service was as accommodating as it could ever get, Stephanie our waitress could not more helpful with our tight timing situation. Because the meal came with soup & salad & entrée & coffee & desert we barely had any time to inhale all this food, and I mean really good food, before we had to bolt off to the Tilles Center. So now what do we do with all our leftovers ? And the desert & coffee we hadn't even started. Stephanie suggested that we wrap up the leftovers in tin plates and the diner will hold them in their fridge until after the show and we can pick them up on the way home. But wait it gets better ! They seated us again and served us our coffee & desert while we were there after the show to pick up our leftovers. if you're going to the Tilles Center, or even if you're nowhere near it, and need a great place to eat you gotto go to...

06/07/24- Me and my spouse walked into this establishment in the morning and we were greeted with “ oh you scared me by the female waiter. That’s a strange way to greet customers but I decided to make nothing of it. Later when making our orders she shared the same comment again that we scared her and claimed that she is deaf from one ear and has trouble seeing. This was not the sentiment she shared to white guest who came in after us whom she welcomed and served with neither of these comments. That is when things started to become uncomfortable. Still I ignored this lady for the sake of my spouse and our enjoyment of breakfast. Finally, when we went over to the counter to pay, she claimed that she could not tell if we had paid or not after she swiped my card. She had the receipt in her hand that said “Paid” on it. She even held my card after the fact because she couldn’t “see” if we paid. Still we provided with a cash tip with this treatment. This no longer became a matter of coincidence but rather her prejudice mannerism as we are men and women of color. I do not recommend this establishment to any one of color. Disgusting waiter. Disgusting...

Greenvale Townhouse Diner has been our "let's go grab breakfast" spot for over 10 years. They recently did some renovations, and now it looks even more welcoming than it already did (if you're super hungry when you get there, after you're full, be sure to take a moment to enjoy the koi fish pond outside the front entrance!). The staff is friendly, personable, professional and very observant (we come with our toddler often, & when they bring us glasses of water they also include a paper cup with a lid & straw for him!). It is always clean (bathrooms included), and the family-orientated staff completely understands the 'time constraints' of having a possibly 'nap-time-looming, cranky toddler' within the hour... they always get his meal out quickly, keeping him content and making sure mommy can actually eat shortly after :-). They are also very aware of people who are dining without children, and are very accomodating as they seat people as their adequate space alots for accordingly. The menu is extensive and diverse, but over the years whether we've stopped for breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner or late night snacks, the service & food have always...
