Restaurant: Juniper
Location: 575 Warburton Avenue, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY
Type: New American
What to get: The soups they have for appetizers are absolutely fantastic. Today I had the cream broccoli soup, and it could not have been better. I also recommend the brisket burger, which I have had before, which is fantastic. Similar to the cookery, just less choices and not quite as good pasta.
Food: 9/10
Service: 8/10
Overall Experience: 17/20
Juniper reminds me of the Cookery, serving a similar style of food. In fact, when I was there I overheard the waiters talking about going to the Cookery on their off-day! At Juniper, they have a nice open kitchen, where you can see right in front of your eyes where your meal is. The servers are very emphatic and know all the dishes they serve. Juniper has a modern, open look that lets all the light into the restaurant. It is very casual, and expect to be able to walk into the restaurant with any part of your wardrobe.
Notes: Juniper is the only restaurant I have tried and enjoyed in Hastings (I have not been to Buffet de la gare). If you like the Cookery, you will most likely enjoy Juniper.

Food: The Cookery
Ratings are out of 20
Restaurant: The Cookery
Location: 39 Chestnut Street, Dobbs Ferry, NY
Type: Modern Italian
What to get: Anything. Everything I have had here has been unbelievable. For your entree, pasta is the way to go, as it is cooked perfectly al dente. My favorite dessert is now off the menu, but they might add it. It is called the Pasta Fritta.
Food: 10/10
Service: 8/10
Overall Experience: 18/20
I have yet to be disappointed with The Cookery, as every aspect about the restaurant is great. The only complaint you could make is that it can get loud, but it is easily ignored because of the great food. The servers are all nice, friendly and efficient. The style of the restaurant is well done. If you are looking for a nice night out, The Cookery is the way to go, and will surely impress any companions.
Notes: My favorite restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, which is now an honor with all of the newly opened restaurants.

Food: Hog Island Oyster Company
Located around the San Francisco Bay Area, this is my first review out of NY State.
Ratings are out of 20
Restaurant: Hog Island Oyster Company
Location: [main location at the ferry market building in sf] 101 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA AND in Napa [for more info on that go to hogislandoysters.com]
Type: Fresh Seafood
Food: 9/10
Service: NA (We sat at the bar)
Overall Experience: NA
Best Dishes: Any raw oysters, clam chowder, steamed clams [steamers]
Probably the best oysters I have ever had, you really cannot go wrong with any raw oysters. With the oysters, they really focus on texture, and they never shuck a bad oyster. With both restaurants being at excellent locations, its not hard to find, and with a nice fresh decor, you really cannot go wrong!
Notes: In the San Francisco location, it is right by the market!

Sorry for the hold up on Orrisa
If you are waiting for my review of Orrisa it will be coming out soon and I have not forgotten about it. The problem that we are having with reviewing Orissa that we did not have with other restaurants is that Orrisa does not have an online menu. We will continue to look for an online menu and when found we will publish our review.
Thank you for your corporation,
Noah

Food: Candlelight Inn
Ratings are out of 20
Restaurant: Candlelight Inn
Location: 519 Central Park Avenue, Scarsdale, NY
Type: American
Food: 7/10
Service 4/10
Overall Experience: 11
Best Dishes: Just get any type of chicken wings you like, but do not get chernobyl. It is extremely spicy!
This restaurant would be rated much higher if it were not for the huge wait, loud environment, and average service. The wings are unbelievable and the fries are good but everything else is not something to rave about. If you are a patient person with a lot of time who feels like wings, this is your place.
Notes: If you don't like being in crowded places do not come here.
