This is the go to spot for Haitian food, lounge and events in Orange County (Newburgh/New Windsor,…read moreNY). Fred the owner is very personable and he loves his customers, community and most importantly his culture. With that said, if you want to eat some great tasting Haitian cuisine without spending hours in the kitchen (if you're Haitian) or driving too far then this place is where to go and the ambiance is amazing as well. The food is so delicious that I often stop by to check out their specials, and they've only been opened for a few weeks. Yes, it's that good!!! Pictures coming soon.. going to get some more food today and hopefully I don't eat it before snapping some pictures .

Band was really exceptional, venue itself was fantastic with nice seating, views, sound & super clean (thankfully separate male/female) bathrooms. Food service was just OK tho, with solid professional servers. However, the food items themselves were below par. My lady had the beef stew (undercooked & quite poor) & I had a Buffalo Chicken Wrap (average). Thankfully the many Moscow Mules I had were good. I'd def return to see other shows in the future & will just eat before my next visit.

The staff is attentive, warm, and makes you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you walk in. The range of food options is impressive. Whether you are in the mood for something light or a full, indulgent meal, there is always something exciting to choose from. Everything we have tried has been beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The drinks are excellent, especially the Faison margarita. It is perfectly balanced and one of the best cocktails we have had anywhere. You can tell care goes into every detail behind the bar. Their Sunday brunch buffet is also fantastic. Great variety, fresh offerings, and such a fun way to spend a relaxing weekend morning. The overall ambiance and vibe are just right. It feels elevated yet comfortable, making it perfect for date night, celebrations, or a casual dinner out.

We brought my daughter - she was thrilled with the view, watching the giant ships plow thru ice bergs on the frozen Hudson River. She loved her chicken fingers and fries and coloring book w crayons. Him and I do not eat meat. Ordered the veggie quesadilla and a side of fries to share. Holy crap that veggie quesadilla was DELICIOUS!!! I don't love that the fries are coated in flour, at a place like this you hope for a hearty potato-only steak fry. Also no malt vinegar to douse the floured fries in... but our awesome waiter Ryan mentioned to the manager, and he ordered a case of malt vinegar for our next trip - talk about service and pride in your business ! Love ya Billy Joes!!

This is one of those forgotten time warps into the 1970s or 1980s which exists unabashedly changed…read more... a portal into a cooler and more eclectic time. When I was growing up, restaurants had unique theming and quirks vs. the same pinterest-inspired design tricks that you see today. What looks like an unassuming Japanese style rectangular building on the outside is nothing but inside. You are immediately transported to a (somewhat tacky, in a fun way) Japanese home on the inside with those late 1970s vibes. There are water features, like a small Koi pond, and a waterfall inside, which is full of fake cherry blossom trees and a dimly lit scene, complete with purple Christmas lights. Each nook and cranny is a little different and there are tables and booths set throughout, which are meant to put you in your own little corner of this interesting world of a cartoonish Japanese village. The food can be hit or miss, depending on your order and the delightful cheesiness of the decor matches the menu ... with a lot of classics from the 1980s, including American Chinese/Polynesian inspired appetizers. The eggroll here is the best I've ever had. It's enormous and freshly made. It's not the frozen and fried kind ... you can actually see the soft inner-egg later within its fried shell. It's full of chopped pork and seasoned perfectly. It comes on its own silver warning tray and is more the size of a small burrito than anything you'd pull out of a white cardboard container at a traditional Chinese restaurant. Get the eggroll. The tid bit platter is cool ... retro. The menu states that the crab Rangoon are the original recipe from Trader Vics, where the dish was invented. They are smaller than a traditional crab Rangoon, as we know them, and packed with a much more garlicky taste in their creamy filling. The sliced pork is not the dyed red rubbery strips we are used to ... but actual sliced pork with a nice BBQ taste, even with little sauce used. The fried shrimp was not my favorite, dry and bland. The main courses have a lot going on. Sauces, meat, vegetables. They are pretty big and the sauces seem homemade. The house specialties are unique and prepared thoughtfully, many with exotic flavours or strange combinations you won't find elsewhere. The sushi is also done well ... as if it was a real Japanese sushi chef. The staff is very warm and friendly. From the hostess, who could be a NYC fashion model, and makes an effort to seat each table away from other tables when possible ... to the waiter whom has been there for the decades I've been going there and I don't think I've ever seen him not smiling and laughing in all my trips. They play a mix of music with Martin Denny and Henry Mancini lounge classics being my favourite because it really makes like you feel that you are in a different decade. If you ever wondered what it would be like to dine at a fun place in 1978 ... you won't be disappointed. If you like modern and sterile, steer clear of this place. The Yobo is one of my favorites and I often take the long way, through 287 and 84 back to New England after visiting NY it NJ so I can come here.

I wanted so badly to love this restaurant but unfortunately our experience was a letdown and here's…read morewhy ... Location: 5 Stars- located conveniently off 84 makes it a easy restaurant for meal while traveling. Standalone building with private parking lot. Decor: 5 Stars- nice Japanese decor, love the heavy wooden doors, the seating area with the bar and stone waterwall. Plenty of seating inside the restaurant with visible sushi bar, semi-private room, etc. Menu: 4 Stars- It has a lot of choices. The restaurant does advertise as Asian - Fusion so they have dishes from Korea, Thailand, Japan, Chinese, etc. Some rolls seem to be nontraditional. For example, a standard rainbow roll is basically California roll with various raw meat on the outside, theirs added cream cheese inside (which we are not a fan of). Service: 4 Stars - we came here on a Friday night and it was busy. We were greeted warmly by the receptionist and put our name down for a table. She told us we can wait at the seating area. The seating area also had a bar with seats, we decided to just eat at the bar instead. The bartender was new but she was so sweet. She couldn't answer some menu questions so had to ask. She did seemed overwhelmed and after we ordered, we waited a while (over 45 minutes) to get our food hence I deducted 1 Star here. Food: 2.5 Stars - This is where problem lies. I love food and I love Fusion, with that said, the fusion I experienced was not great. We ordered a brown sugar boba tea, it came quite delayed and was too sweet and the boba was hard and some boba did not cooked all the way so they were chewy. We also had a sushi dinner which came with miso soup, 8 pieces of roll (California roll), and 8 sushi pieces of chef-selected fish. The miso soup was another "fusion" example: as if clear broth mushroom soup had a baby with miso soup, this would be it... Except it didn't work well. My pallet was confused, the miso was overpowered by the ginger taste of the mushroom soup and it was missing seaweed but replaced with mushroom, tofu, and crutons (why?). I even double checked with the bartender to make sure we got the right "miso" soup and she confirmed. The actual sushi plate was ok, nothing to rave about. We also ordered a chicken pad thai. A standard pad thai is a stir fried rice noodle dish with peanuts, veggies, scrambled eggs. It's seasoned with dry seasoning so the dish itself is not very saucy. But their par thai was. A bit too saucy and tangy for us. It eats like a Chinese stir-fried noodles which typically are more saucy plus they also added shredded pork floss on top of the dish, which is a Chinese thing. Another dish that was nontraditional but not done well. All in all, not sure if we will be returning here as the food was disappointing. But perhaps the chef is Chinese and their Chinese dishes would be better?
