Really great! Cute space, a little cramped but manageable, noisy when the restaurant is full + pretty loud music [Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys, Spoon?! brought me back to the mid 2010s ahh :) ] but I’m happy when any new-ish restaurant is getting good business, especially when it’s well deserved. We (3 very hungry people) ordered a lot of food and it was all good to delicious, especially the fennel salad (sharp and refreshing), bison tartare, yellowtail (slaps you across the face with some great

What to order: Baklava Pancakes · Ricotta Toast with Fig Jam · New Haven CheesesteakMy family recommended this diner since they come here often, especially for the French toast and pancakes. This was my first time visiting, and I was honestly impressed. This time, they decided to switch it up, and our server Michael gave us great recommendations. He was extremely attentive and made sure we didn’t need anything throughout our visit. He also suggested the hot chocolate since I was still cold from the weather, and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Steak and Eggs (South

What to order: Gen Premium Course · Thick‑cut Beef Tongue · Beef TartareThe restaurant is quite unassuming, but the food is excellent. The music is a jazz-oriented mix. While I'm not particularly fond of jazz, it really fit the overall vibe of the restaurant. The meat was really good! They had two small dipping sauces: one was a lemony seafood flavor, and the other was soy sauce with a tiny hint of sweetness. The presentation of every dish was amazing! They were like little works of art, and the taste was just as good.

This place is great. I stopped by here after a morning in the park. I’m assuming the owner (or someone who really cares about customer service) greeted me at the door, walked me through the items on the menu. The menu is hand written, signaling I know I’m in for a treat. The pasta was handmade, I opted for tagliatelle with their ragu and focaccia. It did not disappoint! The ragu was so tasty, pasta cooked perfectly and the bread was so flavorful. I ate outside, it was perfection.

What to order: Chicken Parm alla Vodka · Fettuccine Alfredo · Penne alla Vodka · Lasagna di CasaGreat spot for families. The food is consistently solid here. Good chicken parm. Wish it was a little crunchier but the sauce is fantastic and it’s the right thickness. Carbonara is good. Meatballs are solid. Calamari is prepared perfectly. The tiramisu is incredible and you can’t top the Nutella pizza. That’s a real crow pleaser. The staff here are great, typical enthusiast New Yorkers, proud to be from the Bronx.

What to order: Black Ramen · Tan Tan Ramen · Pork GyozaI stopped into Nishida Sho Ten Ramen today and ordered the Tan Tan Ramen, which has become one of my absolute favorites. The broth is incredibly rich, thick, and flavorful, loaded with ground pork, scallions, bok choy, and plenty of chili heat. It is hearty, comforting, and so satisfying that I often find myself asking for extra noodles because I just don’t want the bowl to end. If you enjoy spicy ramen with a deep, savory broth, this is a must-have and I highly recommend it—you won’t regret ord

What to order: Spicy Wagyu Beef Fried Rice · Beef Rib Massaman Curry · Drunken Noodles (with duck) · Crispy Duck Over RiceGreat food and generous portions! The Spicy Wagyu Beef Fried Rice was definitely the highlight, super flavorful. The wagyu made every bite rich and delicious. The crispy duck was also perfectly crispy. Also the coconut pudding is a must try! Everything we ordered was great, and the portion sizes were huge. Would definitely come back!

Village mainstay with comfortable, dimly lit back room offers cocktails & bar food.
What to order: Peanut Butter Espresso Martini · Seasoned Curly Fries · Chicken FingersThis place has a special place in my heart. Ive been a frequent visitor ever since 2013. Back then Alexis was a bartender there, now she manages the place. And she, hands down, gets at least half the credit of the charm and welcoming cozy atmosphere that lures me in every time. It's a bar, simple, yet quarky, love the backroom with couches and paintings constantly being rotated. Except for one - the last supper with the iconic ppl - the trademark of the place. 😁

Relaxed, modest eatery serving an extensive menu of classic Chinese noodles, BBQ, and casseroles.
What to order: Wonton Soup · Roast Duck in Hong Kong‑style Lo Mein · Salt‑and‑Pepper Shrimp · Steamed Shrimp DumplingsGreat staff. Food does not have enough “wok hei” meaning whoever is handling the wok either is not strong enough to toss or they are not cooking it long enough. Flavors on 3 out of 4 dishes were bland too spice department wise: razor clams, fried A choi with salted back bean dace (0 smoky taste), and crab fried rice. The sweet and sour pork chops were lathered with sauce so the flavor is good but the “wok hei” is missing and that’s pivotal for Cantonese food. Atmosphere is lively and friendly, n

What to order: Supreme Pizza · Five Meat Pizza · Wings (e.g., Louisiana Honey Hot or Spicy Korean BBQ)Great service above and beyond, from the staff.

Mariah was very sweet and Dimonte was kind and empathetic, they made the time my grandchildren spent there memorable! Highly recommend this location for the stellar service, courtesy and friendliness!

What to order: Churrasco (skirt steak) · Chicken Breast Stuffed With Sweet Plantains · Mojitos or MargaritasThe food was absolutely fantastic. ( chicken burrito my favorite) Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff ( Maria , Luis , Joan and margarita) were very attentive without being overwhelming.

What to order: Mini Bandeja Paisa · Bandeja Paisa · Super Bandeja PaisaFood was okay. Can’t really complain. As far as the drink not worth it at all . I ordered the pitufo drink and super water down. For $26 I would expect it more flavorful. Don’t get me wrong presentation of drink is nice but as far as taste horrible tasted like straight up water!!!

What to order: Steak Mac & Cheese · Chicken & Waffles · Fishbowl drinkAbsolutely turned this place weird. I’ve been coming here a couple times as I used to love the food(and allegedly affordable drinks) but not only was our food not good, I got charged an extra damn near $20 for an order that did not contain alcoholic drinks and only 1 entree and a couple apps. A $76 order is so odd??? Im sorry, the mocktails were watered down insanely, the water glasses were not clean, and not only was a 20% gratuity automatically charged (for 2 people, insane) but I was told by
