I came here for a birthday dinner which is a pretty popular thing to do at this restaurant. The…read morestaff sang happy birthday several times throughout the night. I was a little concerned due to the mixed reviews but was pleasantly surprised and had a good time. The restaurant is beautiful. The decor is really nice and the outdoor seating is perfect for day or night. We originally sat at the bar to wait for the rest of the party. We had some drinks and some apps. We had the ceviche which was I was not a fan of and the calamari which was pretty good. I think the portion could have been a little more for the calamari and the ceviche was not a traditional one and it lacked flavor. It also could have used some bread, chips or plantains to go with it. For drinks we had the Cielo Blanco which was made really well. The cocktail menu was pretty decent and extensive. At the bar we noticed that they automatically put on a 20% gratuity which does not sit well with me when restaurants do that on all parties. While I can see a larger party but we were just two people sitting at the bar. We then sat for our actual dinner with a larger party. I had the special that was going on which was a whole red snapper which I loved. It was a good portion with sides and worth the price. It was flavorful as well. My friend had the steak which was cooked to perfection and was also very flavorful and worth the price. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. The highlight was around 9/10pm when the entertainment started. While there were dancers periodically throughout the night there was a much more elaborate performance outside. If you are seated outside at that time, you have front row view otherwise the whole restaurant got up and went outside to see it. The performance was amazing and hyped up the restaurant. Overall this place a good place to come to have a special dinner at. The staff were very friendly and there was a lot of attention to detail here. The prices, to me were no different than any other restaurant in Manhattan. The place is more of a performative restaurant so that is what you are paying for: ambiance, performance, and elegance. The food is secondary and while mine was delicious I can see how it might not seem worth it to others. Oh two things to consider, 1. the place has a small bathroom for such a large restaurant. Two stalls., 2. They have valet but it's not guaranteed. It was full when we came so we had to find street parking.

There are some dedicated parking spaces that have a three hour limit if dining. Upon arrival, I entered the inside restaurant space for Dakota's on the Grove. It was aesthetically pleasing. I should have sat inside here instead of in their outdoor space which they call The Grove at Dakota's. I was able to choose where I wanted to sit, so I chose a table near this shed where the bartender/waiter was. I noticed they were setting up for the Knicks Game 3 final and there were two large TVs and a projection screen. I overheard the waiter state that the area would be packed for the game tonight. There was also good music playing throughout. They had a large connect four, which would be nice to play. They are family friendly and had high chairs for babies and toddlers. When sitting outside they state that they have to preauthorize your card. Now getting onto the food. I was seated and provided with two menus. I immediately asked for a happy hour menu and then I waited for about 15 minutes, until I followed up with another waiter who brought out the menu for me. For the happy hour menu before I received my food I initially thought the prices were good, but upon receiving my food it was evident that the prices are off in terms of the portion size of the food. I ordered a $5 slider. I thought it would be a decent size. It was incredibly small. For the $5 price they should give at minimum 2 sliders but ideally 3. This would incentivize people to buy more. The slider was the best thing I tasted while there and I would have liked more but I couldn't justify spending another $5 when it was so tiny. The tiny slider appeared to be the portion size for a toddler. I ordered calamari which was $9. I was initially disappointed that there was such a small amount. I was even more disappointed when I tasted them. They tasted very "fishy." They absolutely needed a squeeze of lemon and fresh cracked black pepper to try and balance and mask the taste. I believe the portion size for the fries was also off for $5. The fries came in a teacup. Fries are something that people tend to order to have something to pick at while dining and it would make sense I think to provide more fries for the same price. I also could not justify getting another set of fries in a small teacup for $5. I did not like the taste of the fries. When the sparse calamari, tiny beef slider, and small teacup of fries came out, I realized I would not be full and ordered chicken wings from the happy hour menu. You have to get a minimum of 6. You cannot mix the flavors. They were out of the dockside fire sauce so I went with the garlic parm. These wings did not taste like garlic parm. The garlic parm seemed like an afterthought, which was just sprinkled on the wings at the very end. The chicken itself did not have much flavor. They did not mention providing any dipping sauce. I asked for blue cheese and I had to wait for about ten minutes and then remind another waiter that I was still waiting for my blue cheese. They were out of the mozzarella sticks. Moving onto the drinks. While I get being outside and maybe wanting to serve drinks in plastic to minimize glassware breaking, I did not enjoy being served Pinot Noir in a plastic cup or the white cranberry lemon drop in a plastic cup. Each time I was taken aback that they weren't offered in glassware. I got the $7 Pinot Noir from the happy hour menu. A regular glass of Pinot Noir is $9. I also ordered the white cranberry lemon drop which is priced at $12 and is not included on the happy hour menu. The drink came out in the same sized small plastic cup as the Pinot Noir. I think once again that glassware should be used. When ordering a lemon drop you tend to expect a chilled frosty glass with a sugar rim, and that was not what I received here. I think the sugar rim would have elevated the taste profile of the drink. All in all, I really liked the outdoor area. I would probably only return to get a canned beer in the outside section. I hope they start to carry some sour beer options. I do not see myself trying the food again, with the exception of a burger (since the burger was really good.) I did have an inquiry regarding the pre-authorization charge and the final charge that I saw on my credit card. I called and left a message and the restaurant got back to me quickly, which I really appreciated.

It was time for us Bronxites to have a catch-up session filled with laughs, good conversation and all the latest life updates. Turns out, it was absolutely worth it. We kicked things off with appetizers: mussels in a delicious wine+garlic sauce, a mixed greens salad with the creamiest+silky whipped feta dressing which was layered on the bottom and a tuna tartare served with crisp little breads that made every bite hit just right. The first round of drinks were nice. My Bellini wasn't made with the traditional peach purée and instead, they used like a peach liqueur. But honestly? It was still banging. Actually, it definitely had me feeling woozy. We were still hungry and decided to share the linguine with clams and the fish and chips. Thankfully, the fish portion was generous- but the chips? Way too skimpy for all that fish. The linguine with clams was delicious, but for $24, the portion was small with like only 6 tiny clams. Round two of cocktails and wine arrived and let's just say they hit real good. Service was incredible from start to finish- attentive in every sense of the word without hovering. The restaurant itself has an airy feel and is right on the water, making our lunch feel relaxed and nice for lingering over drinks and chit-chat.

It took a little longer than 20 but it was nominal. The calamari came unseasoned with tartar and not marinara sauce... im sorry did I order crab cakes? Also have you ever heard of old bay? If you're not a fan of seasoning don't serve food that demands it. My 6 year old can handle that one The burger was obviously from the freezer and not fresh. It was warmed. Not cooked. Do you know how hard it is to serve a frozen patty still raw? That takes talent. Thankfully I saw it before I got too far into it. I ordered the "Wayne" burger. I guess it was meant to come partially raw with raw accoutrements. The fries... well they're on par with the rest. Soggy, raw and... not worth the order. Maybe I'll try to feed this to my dog... Actually I won't. He deserves better.

I was sent a reminder to confirm the reservation 2 days b4 and on the day of, the owner called to let me know there were some streets blocked off due to a Saint pattys parade. My friends and i were able to plan ahead thanks to that call and parked and walked over. My brunch reservation was for 2:15pm. Now once we came in, we were seated fast. One of my friends was about 20 mins late and they didn't give us an issue about it since the rest of us were there. They took our drink order and appetizers. My friend got there after we got our drinks and appetizers and she ordered hers and we all ordered entrees. The waitress was amazing! Kept coming to fill up my mimosa. We had shots, i felt celebrated the entire time. Owner came by and checked in on us too. The DJ was a vibe! Loved him and he kept shouting out all the birthdays in the room. There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes.
