“New owner took over about 1 month ago and is redoing the whole place. They have a kitchen, but never served food to the customers. New owner is putting in all new kitchen equipment and in the near future is going to offer specials such as steak night. 2 steaks, fries and bottle of wine. Other specials to follow. Come by, say hello.“
“My first time trying Bangkok city Thia food and OMG! Sooo amazing! I did the chef special Branzino, the pineapple curry with shrimp , curry puffs and dumplings for takeout ! Food was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to come back and dine “
“SEARCH NO MORE for your next intimate & fun party venue! CHARLIE'S, The Bonnie's sister bar right next door was everything I dreamed of and more for my 30th Birthday party. Let me set the scene for ya'll... 35 of my closest friends, Game of Thrones themed decor & fits, cocktails that made everyone say "I drink and I know things" and the most fire food in the neighborhood... the party was a SLAY. Tali, the company's event coordinator, is the sweetest, most hard-working, and detail-oriented, especially when it comes to your event. She even went above and beyond to surprise me with a GOT themed menu by naming my cocktails after details of life. For example, she named the spicy margarita after my dog, "Kevyn the Kingslayer." COME ON! How amazing is that?!Speaking of cocktails... the incredible bartender, Olivia, bartended Red Witch magic with the amazing cocktails she made for everyone. She even dressed along with the theme, with her sword, serving vibes that was giving Night's Watch combined with Red Keep of the Bar. Everyone kept raving about every cocktail she made with style and care.When it comes to the food, The Bonnie always delivers, so of course my hopes were high for Charlie's. AND MY HOPES WERE MET! The ham and cheese toastie platter was delicious. The franks in a blanket were some of the best I've ever had. The beef sliders were a HUGE hit. And there were veggie options so we had the veggie quesadilla and the mac and cheese bites which were a crowd favorite.Overall, this party at Charlie's made me feel like Daenerys Targaryen on top of her Throne, like the Queen that was promised. Thank you to the Bonnie's manager Gerard for popping in to see if everything was going smoothly as well! That was so sweet. To The Bonnie/Charlie's staff - Tali, Olivia, Gerard, barbacks - Marvin & Pascual, and the talented chefs/kitchen staff, thank you so much! Your hospitality is EPIC!“
“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.“
“Great place to have seafood . Food is very delicious . I had a dragon roll which was good size . Bass was melting in my mouth and buttery but lacked seasoning. Fries very good size but not crispy. They need to work on fries . Greek salad was more of tomato salad than Greek salad . Lacking major Mediterranean elements .Dietary restrictions: Kosher“
“My group had a great time at Sweet Afton. We went there on a Wednesday evening (7PM). We booked reservations through Resy, but was able to find a great table when we got there. Our server was very cool and gave us pretty good tips on food to order, was okay with asking the chef for modifications to our order, and was attentive to our needs.I always have a good time at Sweet Afton, so happy to say that the service and food/drinks are staying consistently well.“
“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.“
“Food is delicious and great size portions. The service is excellent. Erdom and Aziz were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Very clean and bright. Went a week ago and returned a few days later because my 1st experience was so great. Marion“
“It was date night!!! Double date night that is. My close boy and I planned a secret double date with our significant other. They did not know it was a double until we met up at the door of Salvaje social club. let me just say the ambiance did not disappoint at all, the wild jungle theme had me loving every minute of my walk in and stay. Throughout the night the smoke machine would random blow smoke give the place a misty look. The music was pumping all night long and kept us in an upbeat vibe. The selection of music was mainly Spanish music, they did sprinkle in some English music but for most the night it was reggaeton etc. Although I didn't understand what was being said I surely loved the beat of every song that played. The staff at salvaje was very quick, informative of the menu, polite and friendly. We started off with the seeds of passion which was very tasty and strong. We did two rounds of that drink, couldn't get enough of it lol. I then had a Hennessy and pineapple juice , I don't know what pineapple juice was used but it was so good along with the Hennessy. For starters we had the shrimp toastadas and let me tell you it was amazing , I highly recommend it. Two of us ordered the Milton's rice and the other two ordered chicken on the cut. The rice was well fried and seasoned along with the shrimp, it was just a bit salty but i still loved it, the food really did not let me down at all. We stuck around after eating to drink more and dance a bit during our stay. I'll give Salvaje a 10/10 for vibes 10/10 for drinks 9/10 for Food 10/10 for service 10/10 for ambiance“
“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!“
“Full marks across the board, everything on the extensive menu is great with the Irish mixed grill and the salmon being my favorites. The portions are huge the servers are all terrific and in the evenings and weekends there is always a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to all food lovers and double recommend it to those on a budget“
“The most delicious pizza anywhere!!! Amazing cocktails, appetizers, and scrumptious vegetable sides! The eggplant rollatini are the best I’ve ever had. The owner is so warm and welcoming and the staff is great. Can’t recommend highly enough!“
“The service always exceeds our expectations. Iggly is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent. The ambiance is elegant, fun and comfortable. It's become our weekly spot to decompress from a busy work week.“
“In Venezuelan food they are the best, I have no doubt about that!! Excellent attention and service; It is an impeccable restaurant, the atmosphere is the best to go alone, as a couple, with friends or family. I would go as many times as I can!“
“Went there on a chilly rainy dull weekday night and oh boy did the place lift up my mood! ? A large beer selection (plus ciders and wines) at a great price and hearty German food. My husband and I had a big appetite and ordered a giant pretzel with cheese, 3 different bratwursts with sauerkraut, purple cabbage and a side of potato salad. By the end of our sumptuous meal we were so full that we almost had to be rolled out. All staff were very kind and professional and gave us excellent recommendations. I would go back just for their hofbrau original and classic brat (and well, yes their potato salad too).“
“It's a great spot to eat. I have always passed by and the color and decor attracted me. The food is good and the prices aren't bad. They have a big menu. Lots of options to choose from and happy hour is till 8! The place isn't too big but it's cozy and has outdoor seating. Try it out!“
“Nice cozy dark place. The entrance to the restaurant was..interesting and the atmosphere is pretty dark. The food was great. We had the breakfast platter and the bacon tasted like pork belly. The pancake has more of a cake taste and was thick and airy. It was certainly a unique unexpected blend of flavors but good.“
“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.“
“I hosted some friends for my 30th birthday here and it was the perfect event, no small part because of this space. Everyone who came mentioned how much they loved the spot and the vibe. The drinks were great and I was able to bring in food (we ended up ordering some of the food they offer as well to snack on - delicious). What I will rave about most is the staff. Audrey took our orders all night and was the kindest, most helpful and attentive person. Also shout out to Amanda and JR for being so great as well in answering all my questions. I think I found my new favorite spot!!“
“the friendly neighborhood pub you imagine from TV shows. the staff are super friendly and welcoming. we always have a good time enjoying a drink and laughs. there are darts and pool in the back, too! can’t recommend highly enough for get togethers small and large.“
“An clean, authentic Irish Pub with real New York City chatacter and vibes! Super friendly and attentive Bartenders.Great selevtion of beverages including non-alchoholics.No smoking inside the pub.Rory, Nick, David, and all tge other staffers are very cool!The joy is getting back to pre-pandemic levels.“
“We had Friendsgiving here, what an amazing spot!!!!! Friends loooooved the beer on top and joe and Claire behind the bar just make it that much better! The GM went out of his way the entire time to ensure we were well taken care of! I will 100% be back!!!!!“
“Alicia was in the server and she was spectacular. She came back to the table 2 times during our meal to make sure we were OK and some happy birthday to me her and her coworkers. It was a really nice experience. The restaurant was nice and clean the bathroom was superb, nice experience I went for lunch“
“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.“
“Hot spot on Ditmars any given day of the week! My friend and I came on a Thursday for an embroidery class that was given by Caitlyn from Lemon water studios. The class was in the covered outdoor area in the back. It started at 6:30pm which meant that the sun started to set on us early on into the class and it kinda hindered our eyesight with the needle and thread embroidery business going on so we had to make use of little lamps that were given to us. It was a fun event that I would definitely recommend.We enjoyed mojitos and Korean bbq chicken sandwiches with fries…..yum!“
“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.“
“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****“
“Jack Jones is a cozy neighborhood spot with friendly staff and consistently great food and drinks. I am always impressed by how well the staff manages a busy crowd, even on St Patrick’s Day when there was a line to get in! My husband and I have been coming here since it opened and whenever we bring family and friends in they are impressed with the quality of food and service- it is definitely not just another average bar. We love having a go-to spot in the neighborhood for a great meal, some banter w the wonderful staff, to catch a game and sometimes even live music. Highly recommend.“
“Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.“
“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 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!“
“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!“

“The overall experience was amazing. The music , the vibe, the ambience was appealing. It’s a sexy, but low key establishment and that has the potential to be my “ go to “ spot. The food is delicious and freshly prepped. The staff are attentive and personable. I’m excited to see the new patio and all its offerings ( possible date night picnic!!!). Brian is a genuine person and is open to possibly ❤️. Absolutely will return for their next Ladies Paint and Sip ( Calling all my LADIESSSSS).THIS IS A MUST TRY!! You will live this ? gem.Thank you Devon for your awesome service and courtesy (live that positive vibe).So… come out to this cute new spot, just 15-20 minutes from the City!!“
“Providing End is one of those rare Places that you find and always have a great time. Staff is excellent and is what really makes the place a memorable experience. Different events on different nights making an ever-changing experience. Loved “
“We went for my dad's 75th birthday last night after doing a pub crawl down McClean Avenue. The service was INCREDIBLE!! They let me drop off cake and balloons and gifts early, they didn't lose anything, and the balloons were tied to our table upon arrival. The food came out FAST all night and HOT HOT HOT! Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back.“
“Place is very cool spot, Staff are very cool, Everytime we go it’s full house food is great,Best spot to watch all the UFC events etc, if you're looking for a cozy sports bar in Astoria, Murphy's is the place to be. Highly recommended!“
“I really like sandwiches, especially the classic Italian ones you get at places like Sal Kris and Charlie’s in Astoria, where I’ve lived for most of my life. When I see new, trendy spots popping up, I’m often skeptical because I wonder if they focus more on looking cool than making tasty food.So, I walked into this new place on a Saturday afternoon and ordered my usual – an Italian sandwich. To my surprise, they had some unique options on the menu, like a ramen sandwich and a couple of Texas-style BBQ ones. While waiting for my order, I noticed a lively brunch crowd with music playing in the background – a nice vibe. The guy taking my order was nice too.When I got my sandwich home, it was bigger and looked different from what I’m used to at the typical Italian deli. But that was okay because it was genuinely unique, and I hadn’t tasted anything like it before. They did a good job combining different styles and putting their own spin on it. I think the aioli was made it extra special.That being said… I recommend giving it a cry. I’m curious to try more sandwiches from there in the near future!“
“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 stopped here today for lunch right when they opened at 1130a. I appreciate how punctual they were with opening !! Right upon entering, the staff was very friendly. Very welcoming. Service was smooth, i received my food in a timely manner. Staff was very helpful with suggestions. I had the grilled octopus for my starter and the seafood linguine for my main. I have been craving octopus and they didn’t disappoint!!! The food was superb. The atmosphere is divine. I will definitely be returning and I for sure recommend this venue.“
“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“
“I am mad at myself for not coming here sooner. The food, drinks, service, ambiance - 10/10. They really did a wonderful job with this place. I haven't been this impressed with a place in a long time! Everything on the menu is delicious and on top of that, the cocktails are very reasonably priced. Cash only - ATM onsite if you forget. We are so happy to find a new place that we love!“
“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!“
“Spoke to Danna and she MADE OUR NIGHT!!! I came with a friend to have a few drinks and she took time to joke around with us. She is super funny and friendly and very attentive. Please give her a comedy spotlight!!!! ? she definitely added to the friendly atmosphere.“
“I frequently visit this place with my girlfriend since it’s down the block from my house. I love the food and the service is great Christina and Kristen are amazing. Jackie is kind of rude so that’s the only downside and I tend to avoid the place when she’s bartending or hanging out with her friends there. Other than that I love coming here. Try to Mac and cheese get it well done and order some of the sliders and you’re golden!“
“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.“
“EDIT: came here shortly after qriting the review- lights dim and music up- haha fantastic- thank you@An often overlooked spot, Haven offers good cuisine and cocktails. I think more people would come here if the lights weren't so bright and the music a little louder. It need to have a more lively feel.“
“I'm going to start with yummy! Another fantastic restaurant in New York. Shared pear salad. omg loved so much that I tried to recreate when I got home. I absolutely loved this salad. Shared burrata as well, again, my goodness freaking delicious. For dinner, I had prime steak and mash, which was also very delicious and a fantastic price!!!“
