Best Organic Food Restaurants in Briarcliff Manor

It was a great Valentine’s Day dinner, of course busy but all and all would definitely go back

vela kitchen is a go-to in my family for meeting up with friends for dinner. It’s warm, friendly and the food is always sensational. Get the mussels in white wine sauce. You won’t regret it.

The best! Consistently excellent; food, cocktails, service, ambience. Menu has a great mix of steak, seafood, pastas.. all with a Mediterranean flair. The calamari appetizer is a MUST, very different than the fried calamari you can get anywhere else. The baklava cheesecake is such a great representation of the menu as a whole: cheesecake (a steakhouse classic) but creatively made with a phyllo dough crust - the combination you never knew you needed until now. The owner, Mentor, is very involved in the business and really hustles throughout service. He’s remembered us every time since our very first visit. Most recently saving us our favorite spots at the bar on Valentine’s Day which I felt exceptionally grateful for considering that holiday can be stressful with reservations. Will be back again and again!

Valentine’s Day is always difficult at a restaurant but it could not have been nicer. From the welcome we received at the front (big smiles, coat check, etc) through dessert and a complimentary rose on leaving, it was a magical evening. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable.

Our first time here and it was an Excellent dinner choice. Every bite was delicious. The halibut, the octopus, the blue fin tuna, tuna tartare and dumplings were phenomenal. The service was spot on, attentive but not smothering.
