TOP Hibachi Sushi Bar & Lounge is a newly opened bustling neighborhood restaurant in Somers Commons Shopping Center.Embracing an American warmth and personality, this playful juxtaposition reveals a restaurant that is welcoming, accommodating and stylish. A true riff on what is expected or traditional - East or West. Born out of a life-long passion for quality dining and architecture TOP is one of the many fine dining restaurants Owner Andy Lin has built in New York. TOP ups the ante on Japanese dining with its high-energy beat, creativity and playful approach to Japanese-influenced cuisine. The menu boasts a variety of flavorful offerings from the Kitchen, Sushi Bar and Hibachi Room. The beverage program offers a varied cocktail menu of carefully handcrafted and inventive cocktails. A thorough sake collection is available as well as extensive craft beers, liquors and a spirited wine list. When you look at and eat food, you should be focused on the moment there and not on other opinions nor history, food is prepared differently every time, so a new experience will occur in your mouth with each new bite. The theory is also universal. Food is not culturally bound, a person of any race can enjoy pad thai or tacos, just like any person can enjoy a painting. Food is an important part of everyday life, we can choose to appreciate it or not, but it is here and it is an art form. There is just something about the way food is gathered and created making it unique to the chef. It’s called culinary ART for a reason!

Nancy and Margaret,
I want to share a great experience that Sheri and I had
with our fellow Chamber member, Six Diamonds Tree
Service and Landscaping, Inc.
We met Maria Quezada, one of the owners, at the
recent Monday evening networking meeting at the
Hudson Valley Hospital Center, and after a brief
discussion we decided to ask them to come look at
some trees on our property. We knew one tall maple
tree was dying and others needed severe pruning. The
next day we made an appointment to meet Maria’s
husband, Manuel, the following Saturday morning.
Manuel showed up exactly on time and we walked the
property together. He was very thorough in examining
our trees, answered our questions, and made practical
suggestions. We agreed on the work and the price, and
scheduled the following Thursday for the work to be
done.
Manuel and his crew arrived at 8:00 a.m. as promised,
they worked all day, and finished the job. They did
exactly what he promised, for the price we agreed, and
left the grounds so neat and clean that, except for the
trees where the limb cutting was obvious, one could
not tell that work had been done. The stump had been
ground, all cut wood was removed, and there was no
debris whatsoever. It was such a pleasure to come
home to everything as neat as it was – we have never
had any other tree service do such a professional job,
for a fair price and in such a timely, and well organized
manner.
We highly recommend Six Diamonds to our fellow
Chamber members.
