    This place has been my spot for years. I always come for happy hour and stay after to eat. This is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend or have a birthday dinner. The atmosphere is sophisticated and definitely picture weather. The food is also delicious and they have really great drinks. This place is a gem in the neighborhood!

    Mofonguito

    I used to live down the street from Canave and would literally go every week. Some days they would have a live band! The food never disappoints and the service is always great. My favorite restaurant on dyckman/uptown. This time I got the shrimp mofonguito with a side of rice and beans. The rice and beans are A MUST! I don't know how they get the rice so creamy but it's delicious! The chips are fresh so it's a great start to the meal. My favorite drink is the fuego y agua which is basically a mezcalita. Definitely a must try!

    This place was a nice little vibe, we stood for appetizers and drinks, grabbed 4 coconut mojitos to have a nice little night cap and it definitely delivered, drinks were really good, only reason I gave this place a 4 was due to not eating an actual meal to give a solid review will Come back soon and try out other places. I will say tho the short rib tacos and the guacamole was pretty good. The service was pretty good and the place was pretty clean, nice staff and helpful when other staff notice a table needing something they are quick to lend a hand.

    BBQ Short Ribs Tacos, Rice and Beans & Mofonguito
    Vanessa J.

    Had a sunday girls dinner here and for it being my first time, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambiance is lovely , the staff is very welcoming and as for the service it was top notch. We started with drinks I had a nonalcoholic pina colada , which was perfect. Not to overly sweet and blended with the perfect amount of pineapple and coconut flavor! As for appetizers we had the fresh guacamole with chips and this was very good ! Next we ordered dinner . I had the bbq short rib tacos, we had a side of rice and beans and the mofonguito. Everything was very flavorful and fresh ! I loved that the staff made sure we were happy with our order and came to ask if we needed anything else. All in all we highly enjoyed our dinner and definitely will be back to try a few more things off the menu .

    Please please get the yucan fries!!!! The waiter suggested it and I am absolutely obsessed i'll be going back for the fries.

    I ordered the short rib tacos and I kept getting giant rubbery chunks of fat in my mouth. (see pic of fat). I had to take the meat out of the taco with my hand and chew around the fat chunks with my fingers. For the price I would expect that to be trimmed off before serving - I would also expect a larger portion. The food wasn't satisfying and neither was the service.

    Beef Empanadas and BBQ Short Ribs Tacos
    Samantha S.

    We enjoyed the ambiance of Canave as well as the food. There was ample indoor and outdoor seating, and the service was friendly and prompt. We ordered the beef empanadas (which normally come as an appetizer) as a main and the BBQ short rib tacos. After trying the empanada, I sort of wished I'd ordered that, too, because it was very good, but my tacos were not bad either. Glad we found this spot while in the neighborhood!

    3.5 stars. We came here for dinner. It was still happy hour when we arrived so we also ordered a couple of cocktails from their happy hour menu. The drinks were good and the food, when it finally arrived, was actually good. However, service has much room for improvement. We waited for at least half an hour for our food. After inquiring about it, they finally said there was an issue in the kitchen and they had to re-make the dishes and supposedly that is why it was taking a while. Now I understand things but in an establishment with good service someone would have come told us that there was an issue and so it'll take a little longer and perhaps even offered us some free appetizers on the house. None of this happened and as a result we were a little frustrated. If they were to improve that then I'd be happy to come back here again.

    Muy agradable, un restaurante muy bonito, fuimos a celebrar el día de la madre y aunque estaba un poco lleno, y el tiempo de espera era más de lo habitual valió completamente la espera porque todo estaba delicioso, queremos volver pronto!

    My friend and I stumbled upon this place after visiting The Met Cloisters for a late lunch. He had the flautas, I had the tacos al pastor, and we split the nachos con queso (with sour cream, jalapeños, and pico de gallo on the side). The tacos were very tasty, and the nachos were amazing! I love that they use shredded cheese on the nachos instead of liquid cheese sauce. The place was really cute and the service was good! I would definitely come back. The only thing I didn't like was that they automatically included a 20% gratuity even though it was only two of us.

    I went here for happy hour. The bbq short ribs are delicious. I also had coconut margaritas which was so good. The food is delicious and serve is great.

The meat and cheese board was cool and had a good variety of things. The pretzel was freshly baked, but while the salt was very pretty, it was a bit too much so me and my other friend kept shaking off the extra salt before eating lol. The whiskey brownie contained ACTUAL whiskey in it to my surprise lol, a little too much for me but I'm sure alcohol lovers would like this dessert. There's also some games that you can borrow from the restaurant to play with your friends, we played uno! I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip here but if you're looking for a place to meet in a casual setting in Washington Heights, this is a good spot for that.

In my experience, some weekday nights it'll be empty and I get to take my time talking to and chilling with all the ladies there. They have always been kind and friendly and of service and I can't recall ever having a bad night there. Much better than some strip clubs I've been to in NYC. There is no cover charge and a shot and a beer used to cost $10 it is now $12 due to inflation. I usually tip the girls the other $8 while they dance and twerk on the table. They have a juke box and a juke box app where you can play some music for the ladies to dance to, I think it's like $5 for 3 or 5 songs. Being the budget friendly place it is makes it easier to spend a little more time and money there and come back to visit again. Maybe because I'm a recognizable regular I have had good experiences with the security/bouncers, always greeted with a dap and standard pat down and still explained the rules (no pictures and no touching the women). One time I had a small situation with a drunk guy sitting next to me at the bar who was getting slightly disrespectful and annoying, I told the bouncer what was going on and he got me over to the nicer private corner and handled the guy. The owner Manny can be stern at times but I always greet him and he always greets me. I just get my drinks and talk/flirt the ladies on a chill vibe and I'm good. I always bring males and female friends when I can. I've taken girls there on two different occasions and the bartender/dancers showed them mad love telling them they were pretty etc. Definitely a good place to end your night at!
