What a beautiful lounge. Love the decor and that massive fire place.

Just needed a sugar fix and was super happy to find out they had pistachio ice cream! Sooooo good.

Adorable staff too!!
Ended up here last minute and so happy that we did. Short walk to the water, great restaurants, delicious walk by pastry pick up. The apartment was adorable with wild purple, cabinetry and stools. We enjoyed having a patio overlooking the pool and embarrassed to say that we slept in separate rooms… because we could. Spotless.

The owner/manager was super sweet and arrived within minutes of us pulling into the parking lot.

Highly recommend for couples, families or solo guests.

Sunset from the pier after dinner was remarkable.

What a great find? Super friendly man made our lunches and offered up suggestions. Lots of great options there! Put together a lovely picnic lunch of sandwiches, soup and muffins and walked to Central Park to eat. Great picnic!

Day one in NYC. Cafe style dining on the sidewalk. Super fast and friendly service. Pastrami sandwich for me and a burger for my daughter. Pastrami was good but missed the mustard. Fries and burger delicious. Happy bellies. Back to exploring!!
I see some bad reviews here and was shocked. This is my daughter's favourite lunch place - close to her school - quick and convenient. She's a fan of cashew chicken stir fry. I gave it a go earlier this week. Delightful. So tasty. The chicken was good, ample cashews, sauce permeated into the rice below, lots of tasty perfectly cooked peppers. Couldn't finish mine - huge portions!

You didn't ask, but I'm going to tell you: I sat nearby and watched from afar on a busy Wednesday afternoon. The lunch hour had kicked off and it was packed ... everywhere. The wait time in the line was typical. Orders went in at a decent rate and people seemed to understand where to wait for their pick up and enjoy watching their lunch being made. From my perfect seat, I was able to witness the two men preparing all food. They were in sync, clarified orders, checked with customers on their level of spices and what I admired the most was the smiles between them and customers. It couldn't have been cool working in that fast pace environment back there serving food over a hot surface, to some customers that perhaps had a busy morning and short on patience and were hangry. These two men remained happy to be serving. During this 'lunch & a show', I witnessed a lunch goer dropped her container of lunch in front of their restaurant. While she attempted to do her best to clean up her lunch from the floor, staff from Thai Express were quick to get out there and clean it up. Not even convinced it was their food but they were quick to the rescue. Well done, Thai Express. 5/5!

You continue to feed my little girl and I'll be there to admire from afar the occasional Wednesday!
