You can smell it from the plate before you even bite into it. Happy hour deals for drinks are limited (it's a very marginal price different from regular prices, no more than $2-3). They do have a nice assortment of espresso-based drinks: one with pandan, one that uses both mezcal and tequila. Make a reservation in advance for sure since it's narrow and small.

All I am going to say is I am 1000% coming back especially for Happy Hour - they have select items,…read moredrinks, and tapas for a discounted happy hour price. We took advantage of the dollar oysters and they were very fresh, juicy, and refreshing on a warm April. Some of our favorite tapas were the cod and and tetilla cheese croquetas, patatas bravas, and the pan con tomate. Really reminded myself when I was back in the Iberian peninsula! Additionally we got a meatball entree that came with toast to dip in the marinara and that really completed the set of our meal. It's one of the best happy hour spots we have gone to and we will definitely be looking for any excuse to be down in the area early evening!

Went here for happy hour (dollar oysters), and got a dozen. Was shocked to not see cocktail sauce…read more(only given hot sauce and mineurette). Plenty of lemons though. Oysters were just ok. A lot of them had shell in them (which usually isn't a problem, except I've been spoiled by other oyster happy hours where they come with no bits and pieces of shell!). Also the quality of the oysters were a little lower quality. Went for the Spain vs France World Cup game, and the energy did not disappoint. While it's a little bit cramped, especially with a major game going on, it was electric. Definitely come here for watching sports games. Bartender was nice enough. Didn't "wow" me with service, but she was kind and friendly. Service was a bit slow though.

PARTY REVIEW: Hosted a Surprise birthday party at this…read morevenue on a warm spring day and it was much a surprise to myself. Our group had so much fun! I had a party of around 15 and we reserved a table by the main bar towards the entrance. This place is packed on a sunny weekend day, so be ready for music, drinking and a surprise visit from a saxophone player. Crowds were flowing which made it difficult to move around and chat comfortably , and music was blasting very loudly making it hard to hear conversations. But I guess its just the spot for a day-drinking shindig. This place got REALLY packed, but the bartenders were really nice and respectful when it came to serving drinks to our group. The doorman Sam was super collaborative and worked with my guests to help plan a surprise entrance for my friend upon their entry. Thanks Sam! Highly recommend the day time open bar package.

Many moons ago I used to frequent Jadis often in evenings for wine and catching up with friends. So…read moreapparently I have a draft saved from 8 or 9 years ago that I hadn't posted since I've been a fan of Jadis for over a decade though unfortunately hadn't been back post-covid. They're a local classic and rightfully so, the warm, cozy exposed brick atmosphere with comfy seating, dark wooden beams across the ceiling, dim lighting, and set-in book shelves all transport you to a rustic restaurant in French wine country. In a Friday evening at 6pm I made reservations in advance for 5 people and upon visit found their street seating to be mostly full and interior front of the lounge about half full. The back was pretty empty though I think probably better for later evening get-togethers. The staff was welcoming and quick to direct us to scan the menu via QR code, they have happy hour until 7pm, so there are a handful of drinks and snacks discounted. Silly enough I realized when we assembled that none of the other ladies that made it that night drank alcohol so I only ended up getting a beer, but surely next time I'll be back for wine considering Jadis is a wine bar! We ordered: - CONCOMBRE $8 for HH: Cucumber, lemon, cucumber syrup, seltzer. My friend enjoyed this refreshing drink. - MONTAUK SUMMER ALE (PALE ALE, NY, 5.6%) $6 for HH: light and not too hoppy for east summer vibes. I switched out my order and unfortunately they forgot to charge me for the right can. - PORK PATE $12: HH special served with slices of French baguette, love a good pate! - OVEN ROASTED BRANZINO FILET $26: Mediterranean mild white fish filet, roasted potatoes, harivot vert, lemon (gf). My friend enjoyed this dish and said the fish was cooked well though wished the portion size was a little more. - PAN SEARED 8 OZ NZ GRASS-FED SKIRT STEAK $32: Roasted potatoes, Provençal tomato confit, arugula, herb sauce (gf). Another friend and I both ordered this. Great flavors, a few chewy bits as skirt steak is wont to have. Was pretty full after eating this. - OVEN ROASTED ORGANIC CHICKEN BREAST PROVENÇAL $25: Mashed potatoes, haricot vert, shallots, virgin jus (gf). Other friend liked this as well. - BEEF BOURGUIGNON $33: Off the bone Short ribs braised in red wine, pearl onions, mushroom, carrots, potatoes (gf). Yumm so good! For reference they are also a great venue for private events, years ago I hosted my friend's bridal shower here on a Saturday afternoon. They allowed us to bring our own decorations as long as we ordered their food and drink items (outside of cake which they let us bring in separately). I will be back for wine next time!

Another thing to keep in mind is that the music was a bit loud in here so if that's something you don't like I'd be aware!

Plus, they have a huge vinyl collection with all of the best jams. They only serve wine and beer, but there's a lot of choices.

Perfect if you're looking for something more low key with friends. The best part is, the bartenders / owners are so friendly and amazing. It was so nice getting a chance to chat with one of the owners. Really made the place that much more intimate and great.

((4.25 stars))…read more Eastwood is a chill vibes bar-restaurant on the corner of East Broadway and Clinton Street in the evenings and night. discovered it is also opened in the morning and day as a cafe serving up your standard coffee menu as well as a variety of baked items. the space exudes a relaxed ambiance that's friendly to the eye with a variety of seating options inside as well as outside. the space is clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. stopped here twice recently to grab a Americano to go as well as a slice of olive oil cake to go, too. the coffee was competently made and the coffee tasted fine and what i needed as a morning pick-me-up. the olive oil cake slice i got here was very, very good-- a soft pleasant crumb held together by the firm exterior of the cake. the flavor is rich with a balanced sweetness that pairs with a hot cup of coffee very nicely. the service is quick and efficient, but i dare say it felt very sterile -- like there was no personality or warmth in interactions. Eastwood was pretty much empty in the morning both times i was here. if it was busy, i'd get the lack of small talk. oh well. nice place but needs more upbeat staff in the mornings imo.

I will say that I lowkey struggled to find this bar when walking to it because I didn't know it was located downstairs next to Personal Fears. Anyways, the vibes in this bar were immaculate. Walking in, you can just feel the welcoming and inclusive energy. It was a busy Wednesday night at 8:40pm, but there were still lots of tables to sit at. All the employees that we interacted with were extremely friendly and attentive. I ordered the drink called "What if?" which was the honey and granola drink. When my drink was brought over, the server gave me a little bowl of granola (w/ almonds), put a bump of powdered honey on the back of my hand and told me to lick the honey, drink the drink, then eat a piece of granola and it'll taste like yogurt and granola... It tasted exactly like yogurt and granola. I sure do love a good experience and this drink brought that.
