"Ordered the Tandoori Shrimp for $35. I was surprised when my meal arrived and there were only 4 shrimp. Especially when everyone else at my table seemed to have significantly more food. Chicken Mango Curry $27), Shrimp Tikka Masala $33), Chicken Tikka Masala $27), Tandori Salmon $32). Everyone had plenty of food. But the Tandoori Shrimp were just 4 mid sized shrimp. I was not impressed and not filled. However all the meals were delicious. We ordered desert after. After debating on a few different items, my dad ordered some dish with chesecake cubes that I can't remember the name of. What the waiter brought out was Tiramisu Dusted Cake. We informed the waiter that this was not what my dad ordered and the waiter insisted that it was, despite us repeatedly pointing at the menu where it said cheesecake. The waiter insisted that this item was in fact cheese cake multiple times. My Mom ordered the Rose Petal Icecream, however what she was given is Mango Rasmalai which was room temperature and tasted like soggy mango flavored bread). When the waiter was told it was the wrong item, he brought out strawberry icecream, which was also not what was ordered. But at this point we had given up. On the plus side, my sister ordered Gulab Jamum Gelato and actually got what she asked for. But that should be the standard, not the exception. We were then asked if we were visiting for an event and we told them it was my parent's 34th wedding anniversary. At this point we were given ACTUAL cheesecake with a candle so they do know what cheesecake is) and we were told we were being brought out champagne. Instead of champagne, what actually arrived was some mix of Bailey's Irish Cream, Fireball Whiskey, and something else. Which was delicious, but again, not what we were told and not what was requested. It was very loud and often times hard to hear the waiter. So in addition to saying the item name as loud as we could, we also pointed at the menu item every time we ordered, and still the order was gotten wrong. Had a good time overall despite the problems. Edit: After initially leaving a two star review, the owner reached out to us to make it up to us. Despite having nearly 5000 google reviews, the owner cares about his customers and his business. I respect that and feel satisfied in the response. Thank you for reaching out to my family."

"Jersey Mike's is truly amazing. We've tried their Original Italian, Famous Philly, and Big Kahuna sandwiches, and they really load them up with toppings and flavor. The quality of the meat is outstanding, too. Their so-called competitors just don't measure up. There's something unique about Jersey Mike's that sets it apart from the rest. This is my third time ordering, and I only wish I had found them earlier. I'm about to place another order, but I'm having a hard time choosing! I know whatever I pick will be delicious. Plus, I absolutely adore their packaging."

"Food was excellent, but much to wish from our service. Before the check was delivered, our server was super attentive, but as soon as the check was delivered, our party was ignored to leave us for an hour with empty glasses while our party continued our meeting. At a point close to us, she walked at the table and looked at our table and then moved directly to another table. We had much better service in the past."

"I 'm older, Stanford is older. This is still a nice stop, likely at times a very nice place. With today 's prices $35 with tip for great burger/fries/iced tea) its nice to go somewhere that rewards that with solid execution on the food. The service is still very good, likely top for this segment of restaurant. The decor, and fit and finish of the room remains very nice, right on the verge of elegant. They had the fireplace going today, a sunny but cool Monday. I came in with a group of co-workers that seems to be a theme). I can make the observation that something is a bit more casual about the people that come. I 'm not at all trying to wish this place into snobbery- that 's what I have liked about it, the democracy of anyone that can afford it here can feel comfortable. There is a slice of clientel that has the money or credit). I saw more jeans today, I saw more flannel shirts. I still saw suits/jackets. ties, dresses and nice shoes- so the 2014 version that I first encountered is still here. I suspect dinner is a bit of a different crowd and dress code. The next time we need a special night, we will have to come in the evening."

"Four of us went to the Greene Turtle for lunch. Our meal included a crab cake, chicken wings, salmon on a salad, and a Caesar salad. Three of us were pleased with our dishes, however, the fourth was disappointed with her crab cake. She had ordered it because someone in our group had raved about it in the past, but unfortunately, it did not meet her expectations this time. When the manager asked about our satisfaction, she mentioned the issue with the crab cake. The manager kindly offered to reduce the cost of her meal by half, though she would have preferred a properly prepared replacement. Despite this experience, we have enjoyed previous visits to the Greene Turtle and have always been happy with our meals."
