let's talk restaurants we all love
restaurants and the most common question
I get is Ellie what's your favorite
restaurant or where should I go tonight
for a nice restaurant so I'm going to
break it down talk about a couple of my
favorite restaurants and how they differ
one to another where you can go if you
want to have a meal for yourself on a
date if you want to have a business
meeting or if you want to go out with
your family I will help you choose that
restaurant um I'm going to jump right
into it my favorite restaurant my number
one favorite restaurant um I know you're
curious to know what that is and the
answer is Wall Street Grill a great
restaurant in New York City
Manhattan um and I love them for a
couple of reasons so first of all the
service is amazing over there um I
happen to personally know the the the
manager over there his name is fatty if
he still works there I hope so uh it's
been a while since I've been there but
the entire staff everybody over there
are nice people and I love them so I had
a great time over there when I went
whenever I went I went I had dates over
there I had I went there with family
friends and whenever we went there we
had an amazing time now the reason why
it's the number one restaurant and also
the number one restaurant that I
recommend to others is because their
food is very down toe food so including
things that are on the menu like chicken
soup or chicken nuggets
um understandable appetizers when I say
that I mean that when you read it what
you read is what you get um very very
delicious appetizers very delicious main
courses nice desserts you know um also
what I love about the restaurant is is
that it has it it it they have you can
either sit indoors you can sit Outdoors
you can sit um where there is music
playing DJ they have DJ nights over
there so when you call the restaurant
you can ask them if you want a quiet
seat if you want the noisy seat if you
want the outdoor seat with a view of the
Manhattan skyline so it's it's overall a
very interesting and different
restaurant um that that sort of has the
ability to to make everyone happy so I
think that that's really why it's my
favorite restaurant and like I said it's
good for a date it's good if you it's
good if you want to go alone with
friends with family it really suits all
of your
needs um the second restaurant I want to
talk about is another one personally of
my favorite and uh it's called Ral tlv I
actually went there um with friends I
went there um for a meeting I went there
with a a big family a group a family um
and whenever we went there we were super
happy um I want to make a break and talk
about prices because that's usually a
question that most people ask is what's
the price range and we we have to
understand that restaurants if you're
going out with two people is always
going to cost you between $250 and
$500 okay and this is if you take pretty
minimum like if you take just two
appetizers and one main course and one
dessert and a drink a
cocktail and the reason is because it's
not that the restaurants are expensive
it's that it costs a lot of money to
have rent and to have employees and even
the cost of food for the restaurant
itself went up so when you go to a
restaurant if money is the issue for you
or you're not want if you don't want to
spend money just don't go to go and to
complain um doesn't make sense if you
want a cheap dinner the cheapest option
is to buy something in your local
butcher and cook the steak on your own
which that also is not
cheap or even if you want to buy and
takeout which is also not cheap I think
everything is like double the price from
a year ago or two years ago
so it's important to keep that in mind
but when you when you go to a restaurant
the restaurant will be what what many
see as expensive because even if it's
somebody that that feels like they do
live a comfortable life they're going to
find themselves spending now for two
people a meal or for a date
$500 so but understand that that is the
actual cost how much they have to charge
you
so so
um so that's that's important to keep in
mind when it comes to to pricing most
restaurants especially if they're are
high-end restaurants will be in that
exact same price range a little bit more
a little bit less depending on what you
order and how many people you go so keep
in mind that when it comes to price
range so Rachel T tlv is a great Rell
Tel Aviv it stands for um Israeli owners
I happen to know the owner and the chef
his name is tal um great
restaurant um the food is
towards Israeli but also they have a
great uh chicken
soup um great uh liver that I really
love chop liver uh they had the Moroccan
cigars delicious
cigars um desserts over there were just
beautiful and different than anything
that any other uh restaurant makes they
had a dessert called breakfast and bed
that basically looked like a breakfast
plate and they had a lemon dessert
many different things that with a taste
of lemon
so really this restaurant is is a
classical favorite I you know when when
a a person calls me that they are a real
foodie and they want to have something
different and unique and and something
uplifting where they just love the food
um I send them to to to this restaurant
because the food is just really good you
know and it has an extra spice to it so
I think it's a great great
choice um coming in at number three and
really two and three to me are at the
same level it's not it's just in the in
the way of ranking just because I had to
put one in front of the other and just
because I've been to rutal more often um
number three solid um Reserve
cut now this restaurant is a classic and
I understand I think that some people
are disappointed with the restaurant and
I also understand why because it it
works together with the expectations
that people have
so and expectations in general in life
when we expect stuff we might see
disappointment that's how life works so
you go to this restaurant and you're
expecting the entire world and you know
that it's the number one restaurant out
there according to the ambience of the
restaurant and the location of the
restaurant because it's in it's in uh
it's in uh Wall
Street so a lot of people then come with
the uh you know saying that they are
disappointed with with the restaurant
but in reality the Ambiance is number
one so the entire experience especially
if somebody's going on a date is just
beautiful coming into a building you
take two elevators up um at the
reception desk you'll always have two or
three people waiting there to to to seat
you um they have many different parts of
the restaurants including a party room
and a and a and a meeting room I
remember going there once asking them to
give me a nice quiet corner and they
literally gave me the most quiet table
on the restaurant so I really
appreciated that I mean I didn't tell
them who I was I just told them I'm
coming on a date um so I I appreciated
that the the food over there and the
service is also top top class meaning
professional waiters waiting to see if
you need anything or how they can help
um the food is is very consistent very
nicely plated very I wouldn't say
old-fashioned but not extremely modern
just plain nice and
beautiful um pricing obviously I think
it's pretty average maybe a little bit
above average but I think it's pretty
average um I remember I was there and I
paid uh $600 but I literally ordered a
lot of food so Reserve cut is a classic
whether you have anniversary or you have
an occasion or if you have a business
meeting I've been to the restaurant with
a company that made a uh it was city
builders made a uh uh gathering for
their company a project uh that they
completed and they called all the people
involved and they also had a very very
good time good service you know
everything came out like a meal and they
had a great time at that restaurant so
this is definitely a restaurant that I
recommend to people um to go and check
out coming in at number four and I'm
going to put this together in a segment
and I actually know the people involved
in the restaurant the owners and the you
know people that work actively in the
restaurant these two restaurants are
great great great great and I'll also
say why I'm putting them into one number
um these two restaurants are the Loft
and glat laart the only two restaurants
in B Park as far as I know uh Brooklyn B
Park and the reason I'm putting these
two together is because it's hard to
choose one over the
other okay that's one reason why I put
them together and the second reason is
because these two restaurants have
mastered
what our community loves and that's what
they have from the service to the
Ambiance to the to the to the
plating to to the actual food of course
meaning that they know that that we love
chicken nuggets and they love that we
love that and they know that we love
potato nishes and they know that we love
liver and what type of steak we love so
whenever you go there you will be happy
and and and the same goes for their
drinks they know what we love they're
not going to they don't over fancy it
and they don't under fancy it they
understand exactly what it is that our
community loves and that's exactly what
they give you so that's what I love
about about these two restaurants great
service great food um even the uh uh uh
the vibe in those restaurants are are
great because you you'll always have
community over there and you can find
someone that you
meet um so as for dating I would say
maybe it's not such an ideal place
because there is a lot of familiar
people over there but as for having a
good time or going out with family or
making a Simka these two restaurants are
TR great Again The Loft and glat
lart coming in at number five another
restaurant that I really love and I've
been there a few times I've been there
alone I've been there with a group of
friends mocha red and mocha red is an
amazing restaurant because I think it's
from the restaurants that we've spoken
so far we've spoken about classy
restaurants this one is
really really really a wild restaurant
around meaning that it's it's very
different you come into the restaurant
there's art on the wall there is um
music I think they have on Tuesdays and
and and M of shabas they have
DJ um it's also interesting to note that
mocha red is the same owner as mocha
burger and now they open the new Branch
mocha Burger Lux and they all run on the
same family mocha Burger is a good
location to know because they are
actually one restaurant that will serve
you at your table but they are really
affordable you can go there and have a
dinner for two for even $100 $150 you
can have a really nice dinner with
really nice service and really good food
um mocha red is the fancier version of
it and mocha Burger locks is also a
pretty fancy version uh type of
restaurant but Mocha red has very
different plating their cocktails come
like very interesting cups um I'm not
exactly sure the theme over there I just
know that it's very it's a very
interesting restaurant summer their
restaurant is open to the street and um
if not they have a
cozy uh uh area in the back of the
restaurant they have a nice bar in the
center of the restaurant so it's really
a restaurant where many people that
called me they wanted something
different they wanted something um fun
exciting I sent them to mocha Burger
because I know that over there they they
get an experience of different you know
and and and and um they would come to
your table and do like a whole fire
presentation so it's a very fun and
exciting
restaurant
um and I think that people have have a
great time over there from what I've
known I've sent there a couple of people
and they had a good
time so overall when it comes to going
to a restaurant people ask me which
restaurant should I go to I always ask
them what is it that you like
like do you like quiet do you like noisy
do you like do you want to what do you
want do you want a romantic dinner or do
you want a an exciting fun outgoing
dinner and and just have a good time or
do you know are you going with friends
or are you go what type of food do you
like so so that's very important to
identify and uh once you identify what
you really like then you know to which
restaurant to go
so this was uh part one make sure to
check out part two I will I would love
to make a part two to this video and
talk about another five restaurants that
I would recommend and and that you can
go and enjoy for
yourself and uh till next time have a
good one
