“Latin music mostly. Bachata, lots of salsa. Cumbia,, merengue etc. Drinks tequila shots were $15 and beers $10 It was only 2 of us so we didn't ask for a bottle. Definitely will go again. The ambiance was great. Not a bad crowd. No problematic people. It's was a cool night“
“It was difficult to snag a spot for dinner because they are always booked. I don’t know if walk-ins are welcomed, but I used the OpenTable notification to get my table for the evening.I liked the food A LOT. Of course, it’s nice to have an unlimited supply of entrees and pitas. The portion of the main course is not very big, but you will probably be full from eating all that hummus and baba ganoush stuff.“
“such a cute little brunch spot. classy cocktails and great food. quiche was fantastic and everything on the menu was served impeccably. coffee is bottomless is you get drip. they make some mean cocktails too. anything on the menu is a treat and service is amazing.“
“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.“
“I took my wife on a date night yesterday. We like fine food and have had some amazing experiences around the world .several Michelin restaurants. First of all our waiter Julio took us on a journey through his description of the food and Sake . Julio paired every meal like painter does color . His direction was outstanding and the food followed with such complexity and fun . We will be back again and again and again . Ask for Julio he paints before the pigments hits the canvas . Orlando and Shirly“
“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings~The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“
“Antidote Restaurant totally nails the Chinese food scene! The vibes are cool – a mix of old-school and modern. The menu's like a journey through China, and everything tastes spot-on. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, making the whole experience chill and tasty. Whether you're into casual eats or something fancier, Antidote is your go-to for legit Chinese grub.“
“wanted to check out a speakeasy while in town and came across the newsroom on tiktok, due to their “stuff your own empanada experience”. nestled in a quiet area of queens, with easy access.lovely speakeasy ambiance with an aerialist performer & live vocal performances. the music they play is all jazzy covers of hit songs, so it fits the vibe so well.the empanadas and the filet mignon taquitos, were so tasteful and delicious.they give you a very decent amount of time to be there, in order to make room for more people. our server Alberto couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating to our preferences & needs while there.would recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back speakeasy outside of the hustle and bustle of the major city or times square.“
“Immediately as we walked in, we were hit by an amazing aroma of food to Billie Holiday playing. I was immediately impressed. Service was good, food was quick to come out, and servers were kind and speedy! Would rate this 10/10 if I could, definitely coming back!“
“By far, one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had in NY. I stopped by to grab a drink before meeting a friend. Super cute speak easy vibe. Small. Intimate. The cocktails were amazing! Mine were crafted by a gentleman with braids and when I tell you his story telling made the cocktail experience just that, an experience. Top two, Ma Mandelbaum & Queen of the Desert. A yes for me. I’ll be back✨“
“The best brunch plate that I've ever had. And I don't speak that easily. Felt like I was eating a dinner entree for brunch - in a good way. Duck pastrami hash & poached eggs, caramelized onion, parsley salsa verde & local greens. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the salsa was great. The duck and the hash was other worldly. Tons of duck. In almost a stew of small potatoes perfectly softened. In some type of gravy. Wow. Even the greens are great. Nice light dressing. Almost salty. Service was friendly and attentive. My daughter said her avocado toast was excellent. I don't make it to Brooklyn that frequently but can't wait to go back to this great spot. I didn't drink that day but they had a nice looking and well stocked bar.“
“We held a private party at Casa Ora and had a wonderful time. Food was delicious, cocktails amazing, restaurant beautiful and service impeccable. I highly recommend it as a venue. Special shout out to Gonzi (private event host) who was attentive to all our needs during planning and on the night of the party.“
“The food was delicious! Had the short rib hummus bowl and the babka. Drinks were well made also. The only thing that left a little bad taste was the way the waitress just dropped the check on our table towards the end and walked off. Felt like we were getting pushed to leave which she could have done more “
“Ridiculously good views of Manhattan and very easy to reserve a table in advance. Drinks were expensive, but understandable as you're paying for the view which you'd struggle to get elsewhere. Didn't receive table service, however, which you'd expect in a place like this.“
“I went to the grill with my fiancé and friends after he proposed to celebrate. It's truly an elevated dining experience that makes the night special. The women's restroom has a lounge with beautiful vanity mirrors. The pasta a la presse was a highlight of the night because it was delicious but also because it was prepared table side with an explanation of its origin. The bread for the table had a lot of variety and was delicious. For my entree I had the lobster which was beautiful and tasted divine. The baked Alaska is a must for dessert since it's set ablaze at the table! If you're having trouble making a reservation we were able to secure ours with the Dorsa app.“
“A lovely dine-in bar-restaurant in UWS. I have been there during the happy hours (3:30 to 6 PM) and I would recommend the same. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, best for a group or an intimate date. I would highly recommend the Consulate's Old Fashioned which has Mescal. The French 85 is also good.“
“First time I went to Fasano and I’m obsessed. The Bluefin tuna was simply exquisite!! Mind blowing!Its delicate flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture made it a true culinary delight! Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit just to get that incredible dish again. ><>•••“
“This is now one of my favorite bars in all of NY!!!Tucked Behind a Japanese restaurant in Greenpoint, I didn’t know what to expect.I was truly MIND BLOWN ?I would say to get the the Pandan Painkiller and MMM shot. The Pndan Painkiller was the perfect balance of vanilla and grassy notes, the foam on top was great textural element, it was slightly salty on the sip, the sugar crystals gave it another depth of flavor and slight crunch. Everyone must have this at least once!(I hope I’m describing it correctly. I would just say go try it for yourself)If you make it for happy hour, even better, save yourself $4 bucks on that drink. $13 for happy hour!Sophia was the bartender that day and she was great!(Next time I come I’m trying some of the food too)“
“Had dinner Saturday night & it was exceptional! We started with the brussel sprouts which were the best we ever had! Then we had the ribeye for too which was delicious and cooked perfectly. Our waiter Nicky B. was excellent! The decor & ambiance was tremendous! Definitely gonna recommend & will be back again soon! ?“
“Williamsburg needed this vibe. My friends and I were in the neighborhood and stumbled upon this place. Had a large party of 10 and they were able to accommodate. Food was 10/10 and atmosphere was 10/10. Didn’t realize they had an upstairs and rooftop as well. Will definitely come back when it’s warmer for the rooftop. Also, I rate bathrooms and give them 10/10, since there were no lines with as busy at it was and they had many. Dane and Josh went out of their way to ensure everyone was taken care of.“
“Otis is a go-to staple in the neighborhood that I bring all of my guests to! I haven’t yet had a dish I didn’t love. Most recently, I visited with someone who wasn’t so sure about mussels. Otis has one of the best mussel dishes I’ve ever had; the mussel-questioner left with a new outlook on how good they can be. Burrata is also a go-to favorite. The bread is made in-house and so delicious…. And the cocktails are fabulous too! The staff and service is the cherry on top. Big love to Otis!“
“Went there for the bottomless brunch with some friends. While we had a blast, we misunderstood the bottomless brunch deal: on top of paying for an entree, you can get bottomless drinks for 90 minutes for 30 something dollars, which when you look at it you better be drinking A LOT for it to make financial sense, so be warned.“
“The best cocktails I’ve had in NY. Kashke bademjoon was so good. Mast musir and whipped feta so good as well as Barbari nan. Mushroom Kebab very good. I didn’t like the Tah Dig (Krispy rice) it was like Tah Chin without chicken in a sauce. Will I go there again!? Hell yeah!“
“Upon my second visit here I finally remembered to take pictures rather than devour the the food like the animal I am. All the beef is local grass fed and not to sound like a snob but you can taste the difference. Happy hour the best deal where you can get a smash burger and fries for $10. For the quality that's unbeaten. Also the Dry Aged burger is what everyone talks about here, we had it and I'll say there is a reason for it. The flavor is so much more prominent but you will have to drop $22 dollars for it (I'd say it's worth it) this place is an institution.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Astoria! My husband and I always bring friends and family here when they visit the neighborhood. The staff is always so incredibly nice and generous (Miljan is usually our server and is so attentive and hilarious). We always have a wonderful time here, whether it’s a quiet weekday lunch or a packed Saturday night.“
“This is a new bar/ restaurant in Bellmore. We were here on Wednesday night for dinner. Our server CiCi was great and very personable. We ordered the fried calamari with a side of Chipotle sauce as an appetizer. 3 out of 4 of us ordered the Heritage Burger and my husband ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese. Everything was delicious. We are back again on Saturday for the Espresso martinis made perfectly by Maggie & Martino the bartenders & another order of that amazing calamari. This will definitely be our new spot for dinner& drinks!“
“I love everything about this place. The food is a bomb and the staff are all great.I personally think all the pho in NYC is so mid. For NY standards, the pho is pretty good. But what Di An Di does really well is the rest of the menu. So good.Please just turn the music down!!! It’s so loud.“
“A true gem of Sichuan delights sending tingling sensations straight to your taste buds. A sultry and classy atmosphere perfect for a second date or surprise visit from your step-mom — the vibes here are top notch. Recommendations are the Ma Po Tofu (best in NYC) and Diced Chicken with Chili Pepper, both providing a one-way ticket to tingle town.“
“What an incredible find! I love Thai food and this is hands-down the best Thai restaurant in NYC. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating and took great care to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Even the chef came out to greet us and make sure he got the spicy levels right for each of our dishes. I had the Pad See Ew with vegetarian duck, which was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend!!!!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian duck (in the pad see ew) is the best I have ever had!!“
“Gaarryyyyy omggggg!!! Let me just start off by saying our server was top notch! On top of that we never found the bottom of our drinks ;) someone was always coming around making sure our drinks never even got below half way! Gary was beyond attentive his positive attitude from the moment we sat down I can’t rave enough Definitely the place for good vibes good times and the experience of a lifetime with friends and family your treasure most!“
“I was in NYC for a short visit and was able to find this treasure bar. It has unique Manhattan cocktails like French and Indian Manhattan. The owners are very knowledgeable and great people. Indian shrimp cocktails is delicious. Highly recommended to visit and enjoy the experience.“
“Had a wonderful brunch here, which was very filling. The ricotta toast was delicious and had the perfect amount of sweetness to the dish. The drinks and main entrées were also very good. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good brunch spot to meet up with family/friends.“
“My friend and I went here last minute as a walk-in and this place did not disappoint. Usually a tequila girl but ordered paper planes & it was really good. The music was fire, they played hits mostly from the 90s/2000s so it was a vibe. Limited food menu but what they do have was decent.“
“It is always to come back to this great place. I love stuff there and the atmosphere they are making there. Unique drinks, with great flavors you'll never think off. Amazing food, always tasting delicious. Highly recommended to visit while being in Greenpoint.“
“As per most of my other recent reviews, I went to this Southern spot several months back. We went here after they had unexpectedly gone on the best new restaurants list having barely heard about the restaurant otherwise. The lighting was nice here and the staff was friendly giving good recommendations. They have ample space as well. The spot has a fun creative cocktail menu which are reasonably priced with some drinks having rather humorous names. I went with the A Complex Cocktail For Bitter People for $15 which is their take on a Negroni with roots of ruin gin, saffron liqueur, and vermouth di torino bianco which was excellent. The cocktail had a nice presentation with the vivid off yellow and the flower and it had a nice balance of bitterness, citrus, and herbal flavors. This was excellent though not on the current drink menu. They also had the opposite named A Bitter Cocktail For Complex People which was their take on a Manhattan along with plenty of other choices. As per usual for food, we split a lot of dishes. For smaller plates, my favorite was the Country Fried Baby Back Ribs for $16 with dill & vinegar and jezebel sauce. This sauce in question contains fruit jelly and combined with the dill and vinegar; it was a nice mix of sour and sweet with very tender ribs which weren't too heavily fried. Excellent. Also tasty was the Hush Puppies for $10 with jalapeno, cheddar, popcorn, and remoulade. They were lighter than expected with a little kick and the popcorn was fun for presentation. I think the remoulade should be on this side and not presented on top but I guess it's more artful that way. OK was the Crab Cake for $24 listed as corn flake crusted with whole grain mustard, radish, and herb salad. It was a bit pricey and the flavors didn't pop as much as the other appetizers. The mustard was a fun spin but perhaps don't order this as this is probably one of the only overpriced things on the menu outside of perhaps the steak. We ordered two main dishes; the Roasted Rib Cap and the Crispy 1/2 Chicken which were both fine. The former for $42 with bourbon worcestershire caramel consisted of a very tender steak though maybe a bit small. The sauce indeed had some sweetness but there was a bit of salt on the steak so it was pretty well balanced. The latter dish for $26 with`bama white sauce and herbs was solid. Tender fried chicken with a fun presentation. No real major complaints though I am not exactly sure if it is half a chicken (probably is though.) The restaurant is also known for it's desserts so we got both to share which are both $12. Of the two, my preference was the Key Lime Tart with toasted coconut and candied lime zest. I haven't had many good key lime tarts in the city and this was excellent as it wasn't too sour or sweet. The candied lime zest on top as well as the coconut just added extra pizzazz. I almost found the latter Banana Pudding Tart with caramel and vanilla wafers to be a bit worse. It was well presented as per the other dessert and it was plenty rich but it was perhaps a bit too sweet with the amount of caramel they put on top. This is a fun spin on Southern food which isn't exactly a cuisine you find commonly enhanced. The desserts and appetizers were definitely better than the entrees but the entrees weren't too shabby either. Upper 3/low 4.“
“My wife and I went on a rare date to Fausto and it was honestly one of the BEST dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The food was excellent, the wine list was extensive, and the staff were so incredibly helpful, kind, and attentive without being overbearing. I would highly recommend!“
“We had just landed after seven long days in India and were looking forward to having some beef. We stopped into Bobby vans and had the most marvelous steaks. The service was amazing. The steaks were ready within 15 minutes and cooked to perfection. Kayla and her manager, Nico were so friendly and helpful. We felt really welcome and had a great experience. We’ll definitely be back next time through JFK.“
“929 is hands down my favorite bar in nyc - the place is cozy and full of personality. The drinks are also simply amazing. I highly recommend Not the Melon You Know and Natsu No Breeze if you are looking for cocktails that are refreshing and sweet (but not too sweet)! I also love their fried platter.“
“Great vegan cuisine--their three dips are amazing, especially their cheese.Loved the two cocktails I ordered, and given their extensive Mezcal list, I know I'll be back for more. Wonderful service, servers and manager were so kind and accommodating! And don't forget to order dessert.Dietary restrictions: Our server asked right away as we ordered, if we had any allergies.“
“Lilia is our favorite restaurant in New York!! It is worth all the hype and more! Not only is the food fantastic, the service and management team is amazing as well! They have gone above and beyond for us! Anyone looking for an amazing experience, this is the place to go!“
“My cousin had her 40th Birthday here and it was amazing. The manager Glen and his staff were top notch. We definitely kept the bartenders busy. The atmosphere is cute sitting was booths and also high tables & chairs. I would highly recommend this place for a private function. Thanks again to Glen and his amazing team.“
“Lovely spot, came for brunch on my birthday. Same great food and great service as always, but I was surprised to find the Yemenite Pancake renamed (which is the best thing on the menu).I always thought they were cool for putting aside differences and shouting out their southern neighbors… I mean, Yemenis food is delicious.“
“I love this place. My partner and I have been here many times.The food is reliably very good. Some dishes can be a miss, but many are hits and when they hit, they really hit. The chips and guacamole and the salsas are standout-good. Last time we ordered the wings, a salad, and a shrimp dish and they were all excellent. In the past there was a skirt steak quesadilla-like thing that was one of the best things I've ever eaten - I wish they'd bring it back. Their salsa macha is excellent. Veggies and salads are often a highlight. Also, nearly everything is gluten-free. I have celiac disease and it is so nice to go somewhere where pretty much everything on the menu is safe for me to eat!On top of that, the ambience is lovely. It's a really pretty space and just pleasant to be in. I'd probably come here just for the ambience even if the food was mediocre. The staff are also lovely. The last time we ate here it had been 4-5 months since our last visit and they remembered who we were and even what we ordered last time! This was the final push I needed to write a review.Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten-free options. Restaurant is celiac friendly. Usually the whole menu is gluten free.“
“The smoked salmon on sourdough was good. My friends enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich and huevos rancheros.Our situation was a bit weird. We'd booked a table on the patio for my friend's birthday and we were on time for the reservation, but for some reason they gave our table away. They asked us to sit at a table inside by the bathrooms instead. We said we would prefer to wait for the table we booked outside, and we waited about 40 minutes. Once we sat down, everything was fine, just could've been a better experience.“
“A new favorite. Food is stellar- get the steak and dip it in the potato sauce (thank me later). Immaculate service- kind, lovely people. Small spot but great vibes. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. Oh and get the flan and for dessert!“
“I was so glad to visit Radio Star to catch up with a friend. We had a perfect relaxing afternoon in a super tasteful decor drenched in a sun while listening to perfectly curated music this place has such a great attention to detail! the salad and broccoli rabe were so tasty the service was lovely too“
“I had an incredible experience at Consulate restaurant in midtown Manhattan. The escargot and bone marrow were amazing, offering a true taste of French cuisine. The restaurant's beautiful design and atmosphere added to the overall experience. Okan, our server, was incredibly hospitable, and KAT, the manager, was fabulous and even helped me book an event. I also have to mention the fantastic Martini made by bartender Kiril. This place is definitely a hidden gem. Highly recommended!“
“Loved my night out at Company XIV. The ambiance of the venue in particular was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the show, Queen of Hearts. We sat at the high chairs in row E and thought it was a great seat with a perfect view, especially for the price (which was lower than some seats that were further back). Would highly recommend a recap on the movie Alice in Wonderland before coming to this show, as the context from the original story was helpful for me. Would come back to see another show!“
“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.“
“It seems to me to be a good place with a very pleasant atmosphere, good music, the food is delicious and if you are hungry you will undoubtedly be satisfied with the portions.I loved the attention of Miss Jilmy, she is very kind, attentive, charismatic, she is always attentive to your needs and has a smile that when you arrive makes you feel very comfortable, her attention is excellent and where one receives good attention it is worth coming back to go…“
