I was so happy hahah. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a restaurant for more than just their food. We came here for my boyfriend's parent's anniversary and the server's were wonderful and honestly very thoughtful as well! They were very attentive to our table and refilled our waters often. I also say this because when my bf's parents ordered the halibut to split, they had brought out their meal in two individual plates that were beautifully plated, you would think they ordered separately! They also took our group picture! :) We ordered 2 orders of the Basement Snacks: For Two, 2 orders of their raw oysters for appetizers. For my entree I ordered the Shrimp Carbonara Rossa with a side of Asparagus. Everything was so good. Their buffalo wings were perfectly marinated and not too saucy, their ribs were so tender and the meat fell straight off the bone! My carbonara was also delicious. For dessert they even gave an anniversary treat which was so sweet. I ordered a Chocolate Cappuccino which was also great. 11/10! Wonderful and would recommend.

Got off the Staten Island ferry and needed a quick bite and drink before heading back to manhattan…read more Decided to check this place out because we thought they had food. However, they only have bags of chips for sale for $2, but you can bring in your own food. Decent selection of beer and the bartender was friendly. A local was also at the bar and he was friendly and gave us some advice about places to eat nearby. (Enoteca Maria is a few stores up the street. It's the restaurant in the movie Nonna's with Vince Vaughn, but it's pretty hard to get a table there). This place is kind of small. Probably around 10 seats at the bar and about 5 tables. Place is also cash only, but there is an ATM by the front. If you want a quick drink, this dive bar will do.

Music selection wasn't my vibe at all but it wasn't too obnoxious. I didn't mind ordering and paying via app. You are able to adjust the gratuity although I often don't mind if it's automatically included provided the service is good. In this case, the service was pleasant. I would not go out of my way to come back. However, I do recommend it for beer / IPA lovers!

At the time when I first wrote the review that was accurate but the last time I went there which…read morewas quite a long time ago now it was so bad that I'm not going back anymore. Everything has gone downhill. The food went downhill. The prices went up. The service went downhill. The straw that really broke the camels back for me though is that not only do you have to scan a QR code to place your own order and you have to install an app to do so but then when you go to pay the bill in the same app, they add a mandatory gratuity of a minimum of 18%. I'm not paying 18% when it's not even proper table service.

Bota is a new addition to Staten Island. I love the intent of the location. However, this location…read morestill has some evolving. There is nothing in the area to do afterward. But if you're looking for a chill vibe and descent food this could be it. Prices were a bit steep where you're paying $50 for pork chops. The lollipop chicken was done in a buffalo sauce. I just think with these prices their food should stand out. But it really didn't. Not many options for kids. The decor is beautiful and the intent is great. But it's on a residential block, it's not park avenue or the village. That's just my take. All I can say is I told you so.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending a bridal shower here this spring, and the experience was…read morenothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the service was flawless -- warm, incredibly attentive, and perfectly paced. The refreshments were so great for a celebration. The Cocktails: Expertly crafted and sophisticated. It was refreshing to have drinks that were perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The coffee was served alongside dessert, it was rich and the perfect finishing touch to a wonderful meal. While the Filet Mignon was a popular and well loved choice among our group, and the Meatballs were universally raved about for being truly excellent, the real showstopper for me was the Chicken Parmesan. I don't typically order steak, so I was delighted by this choice. The cutlet was impressively sized yet elegantly thin, showcasing the high quality of the chicken. It was served with a side of creamy mashed potatoes, which was such a comforting and delicious pairing. It did remind me of visiting Germany believe it or not like a schnitzel style cutlet but still very italian if that makes any sense. If you visit, you simply cannot miss the fried eggplant appetizer with burrata. It is divine! This dish alone would be the perfect excuse to drop by for a casual dinner date or a "girls' night out" centered around appetizers, wine, and to try a dessert. I would absolutely return!

The fried calamari could've been less oily, as this took away from the crunch; also slightly overcooked. Baked clams were decent. Salmon was cooked to perfection. Pizza was great! They reheated for us, since our group was too busy chatting. Desserts - phenomenal! Drinks- ehh. Brunch menu - French toast was decent. The salmon over hash brown , was lacking a touch of something , couldn't pinpoint what was lacking. Chicken and waffles, decent, wasn't the best I've had. Service- jonathan was our waiter during brunch and also our bartender. He's GREAT! During service dinner, we had a female waitress and I felt she lacked attention to details and couldn't flag her down when we wanted something. Overall, service is a hit or miss , I guess?

Food is high end, but the atmosphere of the place coupled with bad vibes makes it not a great experience. Just walked by tonight on a Friday, about 9:30pm & the place was practically empty. Why is that? A place just a block & 1/2 away serving similar food including steaks & seafood was jam packed. Everything has to do with vibe & atmosphere-if Ruddy & Dean's could figure out how to improve both of these, they would thrive. Do an upgrade on your interior & consult with a marketing person on how to improve business. The owner is Gen X, but more like a Boomer & doesn't understand how the modern restaurant business works. Still want them to figure this out -because the food is really good, but if your vibes suck -no one wants to be there....

We came here a second time, specifically to give this place a try…read more Why a second time, you may ask? Because the 1st time we came back in '22, on a Sunday, the entire bar was booked for some kid's birthday party. When we walked in, people looked at us like we were clearly in the wrong place (rather than tell us, nicely, that they simply weren't open to other customers). So we came back today, on a goegeous Saturday, at about 2:00 pm. Prime time for people to head out on a walk to explore Staten Island, and to grab a refreshing beer at a local brewery. And guess what? Closed, again. For another kid's party. You know how the saying goes - screw me once, shame on you. Well, this is officially 0 for 2. The kicker is that we even called ahead multiple times to try and see if they were indeed open today; got zero answers, and their voicemail is full. I've absolutely, positively no idea why this place has tremendous reviews. They absolutely stink at handling the basics of a brewery. Not to mention, and not to throw shade at the entire neighborhood, but the adjacent plaza isn't exactly visitor-friendly. Trash everywhere basically. Do yourself a huge favor and come try the nearby Craft House. They do CRAZY stuff here, such as: a) answer phones b) serve adults on a Saturday c) have good beer and good bar apps. Never trying my luck at the joke of a "Flagship" brewery again.

Love the overall vibe - lots of long tables and plenty of space so you'll never feel cramped. It's kind of wild seeing a buck head on the wall and people dressed in camo - felt like I was back home in Texas! I can't remember exactly what I got, but I'm pretty sure I had a very delicious coffee stout as well as another sour which I liked. The people behind the bar were super kind as well. Pro tip - they allow you to bring in food from the outside. Last time I was there we ordered pizza from Pier 76. What's better than drinking beer and eating pizza with friends on a summer day? If you're spending time in Staten Island, Flagship is definitely deserving a spot on your itinerary!
