We got the Brussels sprouts and arancini for appetizers. Both were so so. I got the 180 mocktail, which was good. The shrimp naan pizza was pretty basic but good. Our waiter seemed very nice. Based on his recommendation, we tried the banana cheesecake dessert which was terrible! Honestly, there's not much to talk about the food. But, if you want a cool space to hang out, this is your spot! They also outsource dishes from the neighboring Italian restaurant, Sagra. I probably won't be back.

I specifically asked if the plantains were fresh and was told yes, but unfortunately, they were hard and lacked flavor. The entrées were okay, but I've had better quality elsewhere. I also ordered a pineapple soda, but it was accidentally left off my order. Overall, I would have given 4 stars if the plantains had been fresh and my soda had been included.

I was greeted by the young woman behind the counter, very friendly. I believe her name is Denielys. I was craving for Tostones and Chicharrón. They didn't have Chicharrón, but they offered instead to cook Tostones y Fried Pork Chunks. Perfect! Waited a few minutes and my meal was prepared. With a Maracuyá (Passion Fruit)juice, what a delicious combo. They have Daily Specials. I'll be back.

The food was absolutely fantastic, delicious, and very filling. I was only able to eat half - great portions for the price. Fast service too - I was in and out within 3 minutes. Friendly staff too! My only regret now, is not trying this place out sooner. I also got a beef and cheese empanada ($2.50). I thought it was fairly plain, but the plate was phenomenal, and I will definitely return again very soon!

The ambience was more like an open food hall meets bar venue but somehow it didn't click with me. We were the only other occupied table for a weekday dinner. Service was prompt but that's probably the only good thing. I got a mocktail which was watery and patatas bravas for appetizer. It was good but a bit saltier for my palate. I got the duck confit which was deplorable. The duck leg was scaly and dry and the sauce and the cauliflower didn't make up for it. My friend got the house burger and she said she liked it. I'm glad we didn't order dessert, it may have been another disappointment. Overall, a meh experience.

I went in and ordered the fried chicken chunks, Chicaron de pollo. Nice dish. Allot of food. I don't know if they use chicken brest for the chunks. It would have been better, but it was still good. The rice and beans were also good. Except for my drive, I would come here again, next time I'm in town. I recommend.

I am sad that it's not on their normal menu as it wasn't available the second time I went. The bread they bring out in the beginning is garlic toast and it is warm and buttery. Mmm. I got the garlic shrimp mofongo. It was hot and garlicky- the only problem is there and no real garlic chunks which would make it perfect. Service was a little inconsistent and slow but they were friendly. The restaurant itself has been decorated tastefully and it's a homey environment. You can also get a table looking out to the water. We will come back

The ambiance was alright but I never got to see much because I never got a table.

809 Takeout in Greece, NY is a slice of heaven, and as a Dominican, I can say with full confidence…read morethat this place is the real deal. If you are craving authentic Dominican food, look no further. Every dish is made with love and tastes exactly like home cooking. The menu covers all the classics: pollo guisado, arroz blanco, habichuelas, pernil, moro, chicharron, and frituras, just to name a few. And if you do not see something you want, just ask! The staff goes out of their way to accommodate you and will do their best to make it happen. Speaking of staff, they are consistently friendly, warm, and welcoming every single visit. That kind of hospitality is rare and it makes the experience even better. One thing to keep in mind: the space is small with limited seating, so takeout is the way to go. But trust me, the food travels beautifully and is absolutely worth it. If you are in Greece and looking to try something new and exciting, do yourself a favor and check out 809 Takeout. You will not be disappointed!

The onion rings may be the best I've ever had... super crunchy, and make sure you have Carmen's special onion ring sauce with it (a hint of bacon!). Also best empanadas I've ever had; the outer shell was crispy and did not by any means overpower the perfectly seasoned filling. I loved the tostones and the garlicky aranas. Top it all off with the perfect tres leches cake, and you've reached paradise. The atmosphere was super warm and friendly, thanks to Andre' (Carmen's partner in business and life). He made everyone who entered the restaurant feel at home. The physical space was immaculately clean, bright, and comfortable. I can't wait to try the other delights at Carmen's Cooking!
