“In the area for an 8pm concert at Bergen PAC (3.5 mi away) - had seen Scotty's listed, I'd never heard of it. I used to be in Cresskill area a lot, not so much over last 2 years or so. Looking for a place to go before the show, we navigated to Scotty's and I'm glad we did. This is exactly the place the area needs! Very cool vibe, we were promptly seated in bar area (our choice). Greeted by a great young man, Shawn, he took some drink orders and let us settle in. When we ordered we got mussels for an appetizer (highly recommended) and both ordered burgers. Great burgers! I really, really liked this place!!! Since I'm inquisitive, I looked up the history of Scotty's and discovered they've been open for less than a year! I'll let you look into it yourself, but to the owner...thank you for your service! A+ place. Now that it's on my radar, it's a go to when we are in the Bergen County area!!!“
“The food was amazing. I had rigatoni with broccoli and shrimp. My friend had chicken parmesan. The portions are really substantial. We started with the meatball and fried mozzarella appetizers and were full by the time the entrées arrived.The waiter was informative and the staff was on top of their game. Very attentive. Most important, we ordered drinks, I had a gin and ginger with lime and I must tell you that the bartender was not stingy.. We had a good time and I'm definitely going back.“
“100% SOLD ALL. THE. TIME. This is my go-to spot when I want to have something a little special and the price point fits within my budget. No matter the dish, it always hits the spot and I'm always pleased that I'm paying for a dish that isn't outrageous compared to other restaurants in the area that are serving similar items. I also appreciate the service - everyone is friendly ans offers great suggestions. Specials are always worth visiting again and again. GO!!“
“AMAZING EXPERIENCEThe hostess and manager were kind enough to seat us despite a late arrival a few minutes after the kitchen was scheduled to close. This superior hospitality was our theme throughout the evening. The server ANFERNEE was prompt, professional, and polite while attending all of our needs. TEXAS-sized portions reminded us back home. Delicious food, tasty cocktails, and wonderful music made this a night to remember.Vegetarian options: The jerk cauliflower was spicy and delicious. The asparagus was roasted to perfection. The mashed potatoes were buttery, creamy goodness.“
“Fabulous! You could spend so much money in here and never feel unhappy about it. Totally vegan it's actually quite large with lots of places to sit and just plants everywhere. if I had more money, I would buy myself every single plant and item they have here. lovely food, lovely staff, highly recommend! please support your neighborhood, vegan place.“
“Thank you for helping me to create memories that will last a lifetime. My family got together after my son's dedication. It was incredible. We had fun and broke bread.My parents were over the moon. Such a great time. Thanks for always providing great food and excellent service.“
“we were celebrating my friend's birthday and our server Nahid N was amazing!!! he went above and beyond to make sure everything was good from the drinks to to the food to our cake and birthday song. he made my friends very nice and very special and that's all I can ask for. it was a 10/10 experience and the food was amazing and the atmosphere too. Nahid N you are a star :)“
“Having traveled all the way from Canada, our visit to this restaurant was truly extraordinary. The service stood out immediately, with our waitress providing insightful menu explanations and excellent recommendations for our group of four, which turned out to be spot on.The food itself was outstanding. From appetizers to main courses, each dish was bursting with flavor and spices that made every bite a delight. Eating with our hands added an extra layer of enjoyment, engaging all our senses in the experience. Even those in our group who weren't vegan were thoroughly impressed.The restaurant's cozy and welcoming atmosphere added to the overall charm. The local artwork on the walls and the vibrant colors created a warm and inviting ambiance.We'll definitely be returning to this hidden gem. The combination of excellent service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!“
“I only had the mozzarella sticks but they were probably best I've had... I really wonder if they're made in- house or store brought.Enjoyed the setup and the very attentive room service, everyone was very nice and friendly.The drinks were good!“
“Great atmosphere, and Eli, the owner and a very friendly guy, does everything right when it comes to taking care of his customers. I stopped by here for several glasses of wine and a plate of shrimp mango ceviche, which was quite balanced between the citrus and sweet notes. The atmosphere inside is very cozy.We will be returning another night when one of our favorite bands stops by here to play some music.“
“I love love love this place. Best steak tacos around!! Caesar is an amazing bartender! Keeps my glass full and cold! ❤️Whether it’s a hard day or a great day I always leave this place smiling ?Catch us here for amazing taco Tuesdays ?“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Clay Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish showcasing exquisite flavors and presentation. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a culinary delight.The service at Clay was top-notch, characterized by discretion and efficiency. The staff anticipated our needs without being intrusive, ensuring a seamless dining experience. Moreover, the owners were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, adding a personal touch to our visit.Overall, I highly recommend Clay Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply looking to enjoy a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere, Clay exceeds expectations on all fronts. I will definitely be returning to indulge in more of their delightful offerings!Thank you to the team at Clay for an unforgettable dining experience!“
“I've never had whiskey before, because my mother always said it was an undignified drink for women. At the risk of appearing unladylike, I stumbled into The Hamilton with the intention of trying whiskey for the first time. As I was internally battling with my mother's judgement, a kind bartender named Ross noticed me looking troubled. He could tell immediately what my predicament was. I was surprised how intuitive he was. He assured me that women drink whiskey all the time, and it's completely normal. Ross allowed me to sample a few different kinds of whiskey, and I really loved how it made me feel! I'll admit, I did feel slightly more boisterous after consuming the samples, but Ross assured me that it was okay to express myself! At the end of the sampling, he fixed me an elegant cocktail, and I was again reminded of my feminine demeanor. I loved being able to let loose while sipping a delicate cocktail. Who says women can't drink whiskey??? THIS woman can and WILL! Thank you Ross.“
“$25 cover (unsure if this price changes per booking) for Amazing Band (sound needs a bit of work) but a great band knows how to work with what they got and bring the house down. I wish the tables faced the stage because how it is is killing my neck. Although drinks are on the sweeter side with a bit of food it helps to alter the taste buds (or wait for the ice to melt a bit. It always helps.) The small bites leave a bit to be desired but they do the trick if you've eaten a meal elsewhere and are just hankering for a small bite. Overall a great spot for an intimate or party night out (depends on the band really). Spots 100% worth a trek from all the way yonder.“
“My experience at the restaurant was a bit overwhelming due to the noise and crowded atmosphere, especially on a Friday night with live music. Despite the tight arrangement of tables making it difficult to move around, the food and service were excellent. I particularly enjoyed the vegetarian dish with pasta and plan on returning for it. My friends also loved their salmon dishes and couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was. Overall, while the ambiance was not to my liking, the quality of the food and service made up for it.“
“This is one of those special brunch spots in Washington Heights we absolutely love. Our team, along with some of my friends and I, have gone here so many times, and we're always so obsessed with the food that I forgot pictures. They always have amazing pizza. Today my friend I went for brunch and it was everything. I think they make the nest pancakes in NYC. If you come here and don't try the pancake, you're missing out. It's delicious. Buttery, crunchy on the outside but soft in the inside. Everyone loves it here. The lentil soup with a side of sourdough bread was perfect, hearty, and fulfilling. The kale salad is my favorite salad. It's delicious. My friend loved her avocado toast with eggs on top. They also made the best cappuccino and Chai lattes. This is a must if you're in the heights from brunch.“
“The meeting SPOT! Conveniently across from the train ? station ?, close to the bronx River Pkwy. This is the joint! Whether youre dining in, taking out, watching the game or just meeting up with friends. It's perfectly named. The menu is off the charts and the food is wonderful.This bar restaurant needs to be reviewed. Any critic would be tickled to rate this joint.It's a real find.Parking: Whatcha gonna do!Wheelchair accessibility: Very“
“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“
“This is a great bar for tasty drinks and fun events! I definitely recommend!…. Update 2023. THIS PLACE IS STILL THE BEST!!! Very cool owner and bartenders. The vibe is fun and comfortable. They have days we’re it’s chill and some were its really lit. Celebrated my bday here as well and loved it. Thank you 512“
“This a 5 star review because it hit all of the check marks. You simply cannot get the same value you will get here anywhere else.Firstly, the staff is family, and very welcoming and accommodating. They Truly care about the restaurant, its legacy and there foodA very comfortable environment with 80's/90's country music playing and a homey feeling dining room. I felt like I went my cousins for dinner and coffee.Our waitress was one of the owners and helped me select some craft brews they offered. Very generous and appreciated.The Buffalo Wings are excellent. Cooked right and in a thinner sauce with a little zing but not overpowering.Our dinners were the Godfather Trio (Veal, Shrimp Parm and Eggplan Rollantini) and the 16oz Sizzling steak.The Italian Trio was a good portion and had a nice sauce, very filling and a very reasonable price.The Steak was better than some steakhouses and "higher-end" restaurants that like to charge $40-$60 for it.The steak was PERFECT! And for a price point under $30 is one of the best bargains you can find! Flavor was amazing and cooked expertly!We finished with coffee and the Chocolate Mousse Cake & Cheesecake. Well worth it and again; a price you can't beat.We even took home dinners for work the next day. It was that good.This is a Gem and a throw back to how things used to be and should be. Where your welcomed in and treated like a guest in a home and fed a wonderful meal.***Keep in mind - Cash Only But the have anATM on site. Not a big deal.Head in and enjoy. I'll definitely be back!!!“
“A must visit for all my family and friends who come to visit me in NY. Pure essence of Harlem, spectacular atmosphere & impeccable service. Without a doubt, it should be in the NY guides. Thank you always for your availability. Gracias infinitas! ??“
“In terms of Pubs in the neighborhood by far one of the best, owner cares about the customers, great during lunch/ dinner hours, plenty of entertainment also, great for athletic teams to go to as there are plenty of booths to sit in available 10/10.“
“Food was good. The service was not. Our waitress did not smile much. She was playing with her cell phone when I approached to the service desk with computer and other billing stuff. She name starts with a C.I observed how she treated other customers, she was not warm nor smile either. I told myself, it was not me.“
“2024, the year someone, anyone finally got me to read fiction consistently for an extended period of time. Acknowledgements to @tenanaan for her forever reaching third eye into the souls of readers. She and the staff at @thelitbar always push the envelope to find word seekers' arrangements of pages that defy their norms and push their brains into a separate reality. This morning I completed this work by the great #VictorLavalle . I somewhat read this book out of order after having read #LoneWoman January 20-January 25. I initially had not selected this work out of a group of 7 that Tenaja gave me to choose from. I thought I had already seen this on #AppleTv+. I selected Lone Woman, loved that, only to discover that, in reality, the series I thought I saw was not #The Changeling , it was M. Night Shyamalan's: Servant. The Changeling is a pounding thriller that will keep you guessing incorrectly from beginning to end. It will capture your attention with a rolling villain in all aspects of this real life/scifi/real life saga. Who is the bad guy/bad girl? Who should be arrested, hung, or given the Presidential Medal of Freedom? The question is: Who will make it? Is making it even an option? What is a win? Does "Happily ever after exist?It's worth stopping at The Lit. Bar to visit, read, drink, buy books that typical book sellers aren't selling. There is nothing in the world like being introduced to a world that has coexisted in the world you live in, without knowing it was there the whole damn time. Plan a trip to The Bronx, if you are already in the Bronx, make it your destination for new reading interest and a great reading vibe.“
“Neighborhood spot..That can have Versatile Musicans/Comedians/Host(s) etc .show up and share their talent.DJ(s) on any given night.. sharing their Unique Skills after 11pDance the Night away...hopefully with your Date or Mate.. you already came with****“
“The only issue was trying to get someone to speak English on the phone when I called. After talking to 3 different females, the fourth one spoke English.And the valley people lost my car keys ticket. I had to go thru all the keys to fi d mine.“
“Early holiday dinner. We started with a bottle of the Super Tuscan Red Blend. Reasonably priced for a restaurant and delicious. For the appetizers we chose the Caprese Tower and the Calamari (we thought it was fried - instead it was grilled in the sauce). Still a satisfying dish. For dinners we had the Frutta di Mare - one over linguini, the other over the squid ink linguini. We were somewhat disappointed with the pasta being overcooked - this is home made pasta after all. (That explains the four stars.) The third main was the Chicken Scarpariello over penne. No complaints there. All dishes were flavorful and generously portioned. We had leftovers to take home. We finished with coffees and shared the Brownie Ala Mode special. Delicious! Divino's coninues to be an excellent dining spot with the helpful, friendly and cordial staff, pleasant ambiance and delicious food. We will definitely be returning soon.“
“They do not sell food, beer and wine only. They make a mean frozen sangria! I never have a problem getting a seat and the bartender remembered me! Cool spot.Wheelchair accessibility: You can get into the market, there are no stairs. It might be a little difficult to navigate once inside. The spaces between the different vendors can be narrow.“
“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“
“My friends in New Jersey eat so well! ! Really enviousIt was lunch time when we went and there were not too many people.I never thought that Lunch could be so rich and delicious! !The side dishes provided were all so delicious that it touched my taste buds.✅Galbi StewI really like beef bone soup! ! The flavor is rich but not greasy!It feels so refreshing yet delicious! !✅Charcoal BBQ BossamThe first time I tasted this dish, I was amazed!The aroma of the pork belly is enhanced a lot after being deep-fried~Pair it with the combination of cabbage leaves and Kimchi oysters !If you can’t finish it, you can take it away! Stir fry pork belly with kimchiAnother delicious dish hahahaha! !✅Extremely Spicy Pig FeetThe charcoal-grilled pig's trotters have their own aroma! Then make it Korean spicySpicy and refreshing! The texture is glutinous and super delicious! !I could eat another plate of this collagen hahaha! !If you are nearby, you can have lunch or something.I feel very satisfied! ! Hope you like it too~“
“I adore this place. I have ordered the margarita pizza with broccoli for delivery many times, and it's probably the best pizza I have found in the Bronx. Wood-fired, soft yet grilled crust, fresh mozzarella, really good tomato sauce, and generous with the toppings. Dining in is also a great experience -- it's warm and homey inside, and you feel like you have left the grind of daily life and are settling in for a festive, really good meal. Doesn't feel like an Americanized Italian restaurant but rather a small pocket of Italy in the Bronx. As for the rest of the menu, top notch Caesar salad, really good banana bread pudding, scallop/lentil appetizer is good but best to share because it can be a lot of the same flavor and filling for an appetizer. Must try place in the Bronx!“
“The best pork cutlet restaurant. The best pork cutlet on the outside. I tried all of New Jersey looking for delicious pork cutlet. This is the best. I highly recommend it.Mulnaengmyeon is said to be a bit salty because it is made from pocha, but it was a bit salty to eat as food, so it was just that. The noodles were chewy and the soup had a thin ice.The boiled pork is perfectly moist and delicious. Highly recommended.The water ribs were truly disappointing. It was $45 for a small dish, but it felt like I was eating $45 bean sprouts. All I got were 10 pieces of marbled beef that looked like they were piled high on top.Inside is literally just a mountain of bean sprouts and nothing to eat.There are almost no other vegetables.Humanly speaking, that price is a waste of money. $45 is a rip-off.Still, I will go back to eat the pork cutlet stew.“
“One of my favorite places on the UWS, Morningside Heights. Dining here for years now and always have a great meal! Food always fresh, delicious and the staff is great. I do enjoy the 72nd Street and Central Park location but I’ll always love the original.“
“Very nice spot in Harlem. great food, Awesome staff, great ambiance.Vegetarian options: Garlic noodles, Broccoli, Rice, Corn & PotatoesKid-friendliness: Fun smoke Fish Bowls Lemonade with candy. Funnel fries and Oreo cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp leading into restaurant, wheelchair accessible bathrooms, spacious restaurant seating!“
“Specific beers on tap, cans, bottles and oh craft crawlers! It is a beer only place with amazing specific selections but the food caught my attention 3 times I was there to get beer and was like : "Omg let me get over thi a first! ". Then tried the selection and it was as impressive! Happy hour oysters really great taste an f great deal. Call ahead to check what is the special for it. So good sometimes they sold out on oyster $1 per shell.“
“I came here on a random late Saturday night with a friend looking for a spot to get a drink and maybe have some luck in finding a place still open to serve some appetizers. It was to our surprise that the kitchen was fully open after 10pm! My friend ordered the Salmon and I got the Ceasar salad which was very delicious, however, I regretted not ordering the mofongo. People that ordered around me had me craving it! The DJ was really good too; played old school music and currents ones. All the servers provided great customer service. What I liked the most was the crowd- it was almost empty and everyone was just living their best life dancing on their chairs and playing games. If you’re young and single looking for a place to meet people; I doubt this is the place. Everyone was in their late 30s and older hanging out after the brunch crowd went on their merry way. I will be going back again with more friends to enjoy good food, good drinks, and good company.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor and plenty of space“
“Pretty decent spot, not too far away from 46 which is good. Handicap accessible as the whole establishment is on one floor I had the sweet Thai chili wings extra crispy, and Lord were they amazing!! I was obsessed and so sad that I was done eating them Lol. The Bartender and Bar were super attentive and helpful. Love the service!Parking: Probably more than 20 parking spotsWheelchair accessibility: No steps all on ground level/one floor.“
“We came on a Saturday for a college reunion. They had a live performer who kept a great ambiance. I tried one Spice Mango Daiquiri and ended up having three as it was so refreshing and flavorful. Definitely coming back. Recommended for groupsWheelchair accessibility: It’s on the first floor. Has a ramp by the entrance.“
“I am happy to say everything was excellent!! The last time I dined here I was disappointed and stayed away a while but I am so glad everything seems back to normal and it was just a one time off night back then. The homemade chicken soup was piping hot and spectacular like of your Grandmother made it!! The veal franchese was tender and just the right amount of lemon and wine. Broccoli Rabe with garlic and oil delicious not too bitter and not mushy it was made to order and very good. The dessert special was a Irish cannoli that was cannoli cream with Baileys and crème D mint in it and it worked, so delicious. I highly recommend for a fabulous dinner.“
“I really didn't enjoy my time here between the bartender having an amazing hand at cocktails to them sure the food tasted fantastic! Hats to their chef. Natalia (or Natasha i apologize for forgetting) was the best. Definitely will return! Their pistachio-ricotta cake was my TOP fav!“
“I'm surprised that I have been living in the area this long and have not been here until now! Went for the first time today and absolutely loved it. The waitress Melissa was very friendly and helpful. The vibes were as if I were at a rock bar without the drunkards. And the food was incredible! Rony made us the juiciest burgers (even better than what I was craving) and personally came to our table to ask how we were doing. 10/10, definitely recommend!“
“When I come I always look for Nani. She has a beautiful personality and she makes amazing drinks. I recommend Kanu to all my friends to come see Nani. Her service is great. If you need a nice atmosphere and great service come see Nani. The food and drinks are a plus.“
“Bob's is the most balanced bar in NY : his cheap beers come with a very serious service. Games are available for free, and the place is spacy enough for you to bring all your friends to get wasted or more. Trustable owner who kept my ID for several days before I realized I lost it while laying l the floor. Thanks Bob's!“
“We had a great first experience! Deena and Laura are very attentive and made us feel welcome. It was hard to make a decision with the vast menu, but we both landed on good choices. Here's my Englebert Pumperdink with thick, fresh sliced turkey breast, ham, bacon, onion and tomato. Breaded mushrooms with horseradish sauce are great...and my friend loved his very tender shell/strip steak with an enormous onion ring and a side of mixed sweet potato fries and wedge fries. My favorite though was the side of garlic mash and gravy! Definitely worthy of a trip back to Horsefeathers ☺️“
“This place has a lot of mixed reviews so I was ready for anything. I came here last night for a Game Night meetup, and I will most DEFINITELY return. First of all, it's not divey at all in my opinion. And I wouldn't say it's "small" either! Plenty of space, a variety of seating choices and a TON of outdoor dining space as well. A word of caution, the kitchen opens at 8pm, and since I showed up with my folks after work, I had to tell my stomach to be patient and wait until I could order food. Also, amazingly, Happy Hour lasts until 9PM, which is UNHEARD of, and Happy Hour drink prices are as low as $6-7, EVEN for specialty drinks. I got the Sex on the Beach (per other reviewer recommendations) and I LOVED it. You could BARELY taste the liquor, but BOY, was it IN there. Even my sister, who initially declined, was sipping me and my mom's drinks by the end of the night. Once 8pm hit, I got my lemon pepper wings and fries and both were delicious! Fry-lovers, their fries pass inspection. (Note: Food is not part of the Happy Hour specials). The vibe the whole night was super friendly, and the bartender was AWESOME. Everyone was down-to-earth, non-pretentious, nothing shady, just here to have a good time. Also, the music selection was old-school Hip-Hop and RnB and it was on POINT. It was a little empty when we arrived around 6:30, but by 9pm the place got pretty packed. We played Scattergories with some peeps and had a great time. Also, expect a slightly older crowd; this isn't some college joint. I am now a fan!“
“The food was aahhhhmazing!!!! Their presentation was beautifully executed!!! Our drinks did stay empty, and our waitress didn't check back until it was time for us to pay the bill, but everything else was great! I think it was because it was just so busy.“
“Overall experience is a 4.5 stars . As a customer I don’t want to feel like I’m forced to tip servers . Furthermore I don’t want it to seem as if I don’t support staff for doing their job but a mandatory 18% service fee is ridiculous if that wasn’t included in my bill my waitress was seeing atleast 20% to 25% of my bill but unfortunately service fee being designed prior is not a stylish fit to the atmosphere. Wonderful spot butter chicken items have Indian touch perfectly drinks are poured amazingly dj is great can’t complain other than business seeming to want to force cash grab. I’m fortunate enough to afford to do this but if you saw this spot from instagram as me and wanted to take a date and wanted to dollar count just make sure you add 18% to your bill.“
“I absolutely love Mazzy’s! Cheyenne (the owner) is a sweetheart, and so is everyone she employs. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The decor is super cute, service is quick, and drinks are great. I’m also very fond of the electronic games they have. Last time I went was for a special event, and I can’t recommend going on a night like that enough. Costume contest, an excellent drag performance, crafts, and partnering with a local org that does good work: the whole package.“
“Oldest bar in the Bronx, bartender and all the regulars rule. Great drinks, borderline best value-for-the-drink on the basics in the whole friggin' city. I couldn't get ahold of anyone via phone or online to confirm they were open at 8 am like Yelp said (they were, turns out!), otherwise I would have been there earlier.“
“A great place to chill out and not as crazy as other bars, unless the bartenders and the patron's favorite team plays ??. I lived in Cresskill for pretty much all of my life, and I don’t know why I never went here. I wish they had food because the name “Cresskill Tavern” is pretty misleading; other than that, it’s a great place, and so far, I have yet to see any negatives.“
