City Limits Diner is a really pleasant surprise in White Plains. It's not at all what you'd expect a "diner" to be--really more of a Latin-inspired home cooked family style restaurant! We love their salsa verde and salsa roja, and their guacamole is also really noteworthy! All of those go very well with the chorizo sausage and egg quesadilla. Mmm! And breakfast is served all day. Going beyond the breakfast menu, they have delicious spicy chicken rolls as well as a really good beef stew, and the pork chops are also very nice. You can get great hangar steak wraps as well, and even veal meatloaf. We could go on and on about all the wonderful food here, but the best thing is really to go on over there and check it out for yourself. Very highly recommended for a hearty meal in White Plains!

Asian Temptation is such a delightful place to go for delicious Asian food in a really pleasing atmosphere. They've got a koi pond and waterfall here that makes you feel like you've stepped into a Chinese restaurant from back in the day, and the food is also of that high quality that you would have expected if you stepped into a time machine, except they've got all your modern favorites like sushi and sashimi! The chef salad is really a treat here, comprised of fresh greens and an assortment of sashimi! Now that's really right up our alley and probably yours too! They have a three roll lunch special that will help you save a few bucks while also getting a very generously sized meal. Three levels, excellent service, alcoholic beverages, a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and overall Asian influences... this place is a real winner, no doubt about it!

The Cheesecake Factory is of course known for their cheesecakes, but they have a full menu of delicious lunch and dinner items so you can come in and enjoy a hearty meal before you even take a look at those mouth watering cakes! The white chocolate raspberry cheesecake is our absolute favorite, and we believe that once you taste it you'll agree! It's irresistible. The vanilla bean cheesecake is another one that we can't resist, and the key lime is of course a real pleasure. When it comes to the actual food, the prices are really reasonable and the portions are quite enormous. Their avocado egg rolls are really out of this world, and we love their Thai chicken lettuce wraps too. All of their pastas are very good too. Beautiful interior and very popular, so expect a wait if you come at peak times!

Peniche Tapas Restaurant is an excellent tapas restaurant, and we have really fallen in love with it. The menu changes quite often here, so we don't want to point out too many specific items in case they don't have them at the time that you go, but we have really enjoyed the chorizo and the feveras here. The tortillas espaolas are really fantastic, and when it comes to dessert you simply cannot go wrong with those cinnamon covered churros. Again, they may or may not have these things when you dine there. Some of the selections are pricier than others, but if you're looking to save dough you can put together a relatively moderately priced meal here with some careful choosing. The staff here is very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. And your glass will never go empty. Wonderful place.

P.F. Chang's China Bistro is one of the few chain restaurants that we will really go wild over, and we just had to recommend this particular location in White Plains. We're absolutely hooked on their delicious green tea noodles, so much that we often order the large order to go and that's not even on the menu! Our favorite here used to be the toasted sesame seed encrusted ahi tuna, but unfortunately that does not seem to be a part of the menu anymore. Of course that pairs extremely well with the green tea noodles. The Mongolian beef is very good here, and we love the Chang's Spicy Chicken too. This is one of the smaller locations, so the wait can be a little bit longer. We recommend reservations to cut through some of that. Don't skip the lettuce wraps with that wonderful sauce that they make at the table! Any one of their hot teas will be a perfect choice with your meal.

Haiku Asian Bistro is a very cool lounge style eatery, more high end than most Asian restaurants and definitely very comfortable too. They have excellent hot and sour soup as well as tasty wontons, but even better than that is their seafood soup (oh the flavor!). The snow mountain roll from the sushi side of things is comprised of shrimp tempura, lobster salad, caviar, and cucumber. That's such a refreshing combination, both in flavor and in uniqueness. They have everything here from Szechuan delights to Thai delicacies, from Japanese sushi to good old American alcoholic beverages. The prices here are a bit too high even for us, especially when combined with the hit or miss service, but we love the food so much that we don't mind it.  Recommended on the basis of the food and the ambiance.

Aberdeen Seafood & Dim Sum is just all around delectable! This is the kind of restaurant where they actually push the dim sum carts around for you to choose what you like. The selections here are really amazing. First off, note that they have a wonderful house soup that you will not find on the menu. It's totally authentic, and that's the first thing you'll want to order if you are seeking truly authentic Chinese soup. In terms of the dim sum, you'll love the pork buns, the shrimp dumplings, the sticky rice, and that fabulous turnip cake. They've got a great selection of bubble teas too, and that's always fun! This place is more old school than modern, and that's unique for a dim sum restaurant. Most try to be too slick, but not this place. High quality, great service, wonderful ambiance.

Emma's Ale House is a great place to go for both food and drinks when you are in the White Plains area! If you're coming in late on a weekend evening, you'll want to enjoy some of their wonderful beer selection, or perhaps a glass of wine or one of their trendy specialty cocktails. When it comes to dining, we would very heartily recommend the Guinness braised beef stew, which combines two of our all time favorites, and the appetizers, burgers, and wraps are all excellent choices too. They have an unbelievable Krispy Kreme bread pudding here that you've just got to try too! It's served a la mode with caramel sauce. Enough said.

BLT Steak is an awesome steakhouse, with so many of our favorite dishes as well as really excellent service. Their hangar steak is just fantastic, and we also really enjoy the lemon rosemary chicken. The glazed carrots here are ridiculously addictive, you'll want more and more and more. Great french fries too, and a Caesar salad that's really to die for. They have excellent popovers here too! The grilled asparagus is one of our favorite sides when it's available, and as far as the steaks go, we'd also recommend the rib eye or the prime rib. Of course you can never go wrong with a good filet if it's in your budget. This place does it right, and we have zero complaints.

Seasons Japanese Bistro is a really special place to go. They've got a wonderful weekend brunch here that we have taken advantage of a time or two, and that includes all you can eat sushi! Enough said. We believe we could stop the review right here! Any day of the week you can come in and enjoy their fabulous dynamite rolls and spicy salmon skin rolls, and we'd also recommend their vegetable tempura and potato cakes! They have fried oysters here too that are just so flavorful and they melt in your mouth. Great sushi takeout here too, so you can just come in and grab a quick meal on the go! Gotta love that. It's dimmer here than at most restaurants we frequent, making it perfect for intimate dates! The retro decor is authentic, and we kind of like it. Check this one out when you get a chance.
