It was a short visit as we were there more to check the place out than anything else. I ordered a bourbon cocktail that was made with bacin infused bourbon dine in premises. This cocktail was delicious. Kind of like and old fashion but with an interesting twist. Wifeys lychee martini was also very good. We were served complimentary olives, sweet peppers and bread. The place has recently enhanced a small bites menu with some items that seem like they would be tasty. As a bar person, my one complaint is that although there were very comfortable looking seating options throughout the dimly lit lounge, the bar itself was a tiny 5 seat area. If this doesn't bother you, give this place a try!

There is the main dinning room, as well as three additional private rooms for different sized parties. Service was great, the hostess and our server Matt were so warm and professional, Matt answered all of our questions and gave excellent service. The food and cocktails were delicious. I had the Chicken and waffles, served hot and the chicken had a nice crunch, I also had to have the Sally's French toast with Unicorn sugar, yes, I said Unicorn sugar! My drink was coconut caramel latte from the adult iced coffees menu. So delicious. One friend had the shrimp and avocado toast, she said it was great, her cocktail was Pineapple Mango Mojito Mocktail. Another friend had the cherry peach waffle and the Drops of Jupiter, that cocktail had Galaxy dust! Yup galaxy dust. Check out the photos.

As we entered we were greeted by a friendly hostess and as we sat at the beautiful bar greeted warmly by a server. The bartender was summoned when we ordered some wine and a nicely crafted smoked old fashioned. We preferred fried shrimp which was uniquely prepared with garlic soy and toasted sesame seeds. These and the chimichurri lamb chips were absolutely delicious. The server and bartender who took care of of us at the bar were delightful. Lou the manager gave me a little tour of various private rooms that ranged in capacity from a dozen people to over 100 for events. This is all worth 5 stars in my book!

I notice that a few people had their laptops and were working, while enjoying some hookah. We were seated right away, and our server was very sweet and friendly. She recommended I try the grill chicken wrap, since it was pretty popular. I also ordered the housemade sangria. It was sweet and tasty, but the wrap was very dry and extremely bland. In the description, it says the chicken is marinated in a chefs blend of unique seasonings and herbs but I didn't taste any ounce of seasoning. My taste buds were so bored and underwhelmed. I believe it was accompanied by a tzatziki sauce, which I had to pour all over to achieve some type of flavor. It was so disappointing and I had to ditch the 2nd half of it. The fries were good but nothing to run back for. The hookah was just okay. We ordered a premium flavor, but there was nothing premium about it. At times, it got very harsh and tasted very ashy. They are very attentive though and come around often to ensure the coal is still active and the hookah is pulling properly.

I am a handicap woman who uses a scooter to move around, and the person in the front (who sells tickets), did not give us a handicap seat with two (2) chairs. they gave us a spot where i was to watch the movie from my scooter. i specifically told him that i needed to seat on the theater seat, and fold the scooter, but he said they had no seats like that, but guess what? They did. so i went to ask him to change my seats, and he was extremely rude and obnoxious. I am a 65-year-old woman who is NOT going to argue with a child, so i watched the movie from my scooter. also, the food ordered was extremely cold and the meat was raw. i returned but they refused to give me a refund. and had, by no other choice, to get something else. And this is why i go now to the AMC in Staten Island. (And might i add that my husband and i were faithful customers of the alamo from the week they opened in Staten Island, until they started hiring young kids that have no manners. there is also the matter of payment, i would like to decide how much i should tip the server, which only came by me once. (since there is no light to call them), not everyone has a cell phone who scans. You guys really screwed up a good thing with the alamo. please try to improve, and think of the elderly and the handicap. (not just young people like movies). thanks, Maria Garcia

Wow what a great experience! I must say I will remember "the Alamo"…read more First, buying tickets at the box office was seamless. No, they do not have kiosks to purchase tickets. I was still able to pick my seat and pay my way. Yes, you can still order tickets online but why pay a fee? Second, the theater is immaculate which is another plus. I love a clean theater. I found my reserved seat and wow.. comfortable seat! You see I haven't been to a IRL movie.since last year? Maybe? Ordering food is not new, in fact, Nite Hawk cinema in Williamsburg was a pioneer. I love the way Alamo sends "reminders" to order now because in ten minutes phones go away. Then you order by paper and pen, you know 1800's style. Be careful, if you do not follow the rules: no phone, no talking etc your neighbor aka " FBI moviegoer can fill out the card stating you are creating noise and off to movie jail you go; kicked out of theater. I was in the mood for popcorn and a soda. Michael greeted me right away and took my order. As I waited, I learned from my neighbors that Alamo has a Pre-Show. This one was highlighting cinematography and how directors went from Panavision to 70mm. Additionally, how Paul Thomas Anderson has creatively shot his films from Boogie Nights to Licorice Pizza. Pretty interesting. Michael served me my large popcorn ( only size they sell) it a big metal bowl. I asked for no salt and the popcorn was delicious. I also ordered the pretzel with honey mustard and queso. I must admit, I enjoyed the pretzel and the queso, perfect for a movie. I highly recommend this theater. It is located in Hylan Boulevard plaza. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to visit pre or post movie. So do I recommend "One Battle After Another"? Yes, Leo is in top form. See ya at the movies!

We've been to Marina Café so many times, and I realized I've never actually written a review!…read more We went for dinner with a group of 10 and had a reservation for 6:30. We sat inside with a beautiful view of the water. The vibe is quiet, waterfront and a little upscale, although with three kids, I'm pretty sure we were the ambiance that night . Our servers have known us for years and the service was great as always. We ordered approximately 7,000 appetizers lol. The rice balls are a MUST. They're small, crispy, served with honey and one of our favorites. Honestly, order your own because you're not going to want to share. The crispy rice with tuna was also outstanding--fresh tuna piled on top of perfectly crispy rice. We also had baked clams, flatbread, a summer salad and house salad, and everything was fresh and good. For my entrée, I got the zuppa di pesce with the spice held. The seafood was fresh without tasting fishy at all, and the tomato-garlic broth was delicious. The portion was HUGE. I'd absolutely order it again, but next time I'm sharing it with someone... especially after my 7,000 appetizers. Around the table, everyone was happy. The blackened mahi-mahi with coconut rice was delicious, the veal chop special was so tender my dad practically licked the plate clean, the penne vodka with shrimp was excellent, and the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes were a hit too. Even the kids were covered with chicken tenders, fries and buttered pasta. We finished with crème brûlée, chocolate and vanilla ice cream, lemon sorbet and raspberry sorbet. No complaints anywhere! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the waterfront view, consistently good food and wonderful service are why we've been coming here for years.

I had remembered wonderful service and the first time we were there years ago. My wife had the filet mignon and I had the double thick pork chops. Her steak was perfectly cooked and delicious, succulent, and thoroughly enjoyable. My pork chops were phenomenal in flavor, presentation, and volume. But they did get the best of me when I tried to lift it, slipping off my fork and splashing gravy all over my off-white shirt. Thankfully, it came out once we got home. No room for dessert. I think we each had a drink. Service was accommodating. I definitely would go back for those pork chops and will wear a bib next time.
