I had gone for the first time e for a yelp even and I had a great time. So the next time I had the pleasure of going again was for the Knicks Gabe with my cousins and friends and I have to say that ambience of all the drinks was amazing. Was a very vibrant and fun time. The servers were attentive and very polite. The service was great must try this spot again

I decided to get dinner at this Caribbean restaurant. When I arrived I found parking on the street. I walked in and the place was live. I was greeted and brought to the back. The music was bumping. I ordered with nice servers Coumba and Ali and they were great! I ordered: Vodka Martini Red wine Bahama's Trip Jumbo Crab Cake Lagos Suya Peanut Wings Oxtail Red Snapper Brownie The food was good and my favorite was the wings! I had a really good experience at this restaurant!

iNine Bistro is a vibrant and lively restaurant serving Caribbean and West African cuisine. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Welcoming vibe, lovely decor, and the flavors of the food were literally to die for. My favorites were the beef patties, island oxtails with coconut rice is a must have, and the chocolate brownie was so delicious. My husband enjoyed his steak and cheesecake. Great spot for date nights or a night out with friends. Highly recommend and a must visit for a fun dining experience in the Bronx.

Island Oxtail

This place may seem small at first glance, but I love that it opens up in the back with a huge TV/projector area and plenty of lounge seating, making it a great spot to chill. I remember my first time coming here during Covid and didn't even know that there was a back area option. The oxtails had a different flavor than your typical Caribbean restaurants, but they were still really good. The lamb was surprisingly delicious as well, which I wasn't expecting. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, with lovely drinks and hookah options to enhance your time here. The music selection also adds to the overall experience, making it a great place to hang out. Now, let's talk about the food: the wings were cooked to perfect crispiness, and the lamb sliders were absolutely unforgettable. I'd come back just for those alone. Love the convenient location.

Wednesday night is my favorite night to go in. $1 wings. Which are the best dry rub in the city. The peanut and lemon pepper were delicious. The mai thai and mango lemon drop drinks awesome sauce. The shrimp tempura were huge and flavorful. Also the best i ever had. Good lobster roll. The fufu was devine and the ox tail with cabbage and coconut rice outstanding. Goid bread pudding and Tres Leche. The karyoke was do fun. Great music and crowd.

Mott Haven's IININE Bistro is a real treasure. The restaurant is a cozy size, with a couple of dining tables but as soon as you walk through and enter the back, you will be taken to a charming garden that's perfect for gatherings! There areTVs, they offer karaoke, and a DJ some nights. The outdoor garden is the perfect spot for photography. Its comfortable space and it makes it the ideal location for get-togethers. The menu offers a wide range of options, including wings, seafood, and burgers. The cuisine is excellent. That jerk salmon was delicious, and I ate it with coconut rice on the side. I will definitely come back!

Taco Tuesday and vibes!! Service was excellent food even better!!!

This place is a Gem! So, everything that I said about the place previously was true. This time my experience was just much better thank god! Someone told me that there was a patio space in the back which I wasn't introduced to the first and last time I came. So this time the waitress asked which seating do I prefer. Once I said patio she walked us toward the back where the liveliness was. The place was cute and welcoming music was pumping drinks flowing and everyone was chill on this Sunday around 8pm I ordered a rum punch with a burger and fries. The burger was seasoned well and it was juicy. So freaking good! My friend ordered a lemon drop and wings with a cream brûlée. From the looks of her wings and as far as what she told me, they tasted like Everything! The crem brûlée was also GREAT! I have nothing but good things to say this time around and I'm happy I decided to give it a 2nd chance! Will be returning :)

Inine Bistro is definitely my new favorite restaurant Inine has the best Happy Hour Monday-Friday 3-7 PM and Wednesday's You Have to check out Inine's Karaoke. Inine Restaurant is a whole vibe. When you visit you have to check out The Garden. As soon as a walked through the Garden Door I was greeted with such a beautiful atmosphere. The scenery, the artwork, there's a stage and even a huge screen to watch your favorite game. The service was great and Saratoga Water was served on the walk in . The drinks were perfection and The food is absolutely delicious . Here's What I Had Drinks : Nephew Punch Margarita Food : International Chicken Wings (Hennessy BBQ) Super Yummy Fisherman Lobster Roll (Very Delicious You Have To Get This) Island Oxtails ( Cooked To Perfection and they have me extra gravy ) Lollipop Lamb Chop Maquis Style (One of My Favorites ) Queens Bread Pudding ( Fit For a Queen ) the perfect dessert. This is definitely a restaurant you have to visit this summer. It's perfect for every occasion , they offer a great Brunch and Dinner Menu and the vibes are so fun.

Walking into the restaurant you see an intimate place with rich deep colors, brick on one side and a large mural on the opposite side. We walked past and sat in their patio/garden area with outdoor sofas, a swing for 2 and an area with a screen for Projection TV/DJ area. The waitress was very kind and took our order quickly. I had the Grilled hanger Steak taco w/ Chimichurri sauce/ Cotija cheese and also the lamb sliders. The food was seasoned well, tasty and hot. I also had the nephew punch which tasted good and packed a punch. The selection of food and tastes reflect the varied international aspects of the owners. It was truly a flavorful meal.

Servers were nice is all I can say! Party of 3 ALL of our food was BURNT! ALL the food. They swapped out one of the burnt sliders, the 2nd one was over cooked, but not burnt. Idk who went there and had this amazing food. But it was not there when we visited. Just look at the pictures provided. I ate the inside of the patty and left the dough, it was so over cooked. Fish tacos were previously frozen, which would.have been ok had they not fried them. They even burnt the slider buns, how u burn bread smh. This needs to be evaluated by the inspectors. Then they added a 20% service fee for using my card without mentioning it prior because we had cash? Hope it went towards the tip. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH VIDEO SO PPL CAN UNDERSTAND THE EXPERIENCE.

Sweet Plantain with Relish Pepper dip
David T.

Great location on Bruckner Ave! So you can hop around between restaurants and bars. The music playlist is a total vibe. Even without a DJ the music is great to vibe to. It's a cute secluded ambiance. Feels like a little escape outside of the Bronx. Wait staff is extremely friendly. Loved the Jollof rice and the sweet plantains. The Lagos wings were amazing- definitely spicy. Crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The goat stew on the other hand wasn't my favorite. Most of it was bone- barely any meat and if I did have meat, it was very gamy. Aside from all that I truly enjoyed this place. Oh and the drinks- very potent!!!

Café D'anvers is a small Belgian cafe in Carnegie Hill. I had a reservation for dinner with a…read morefriend. The restaurant door was open so it felt airy and had the ambience of an outdoor cafe. The service was quick and attentive. I ordered the carbonnade flamande, which is a beef stew made with Belgian beer. My friend ordered the Moules Frites. Normally I'd get the Moules Frites as well but I wanted to vary it up since I had seafood for takeout the night before. This was my first time having this beef dish. You could taste the beer in the beef stew but it wasn't too overpowering. Felt almost like a goulash. I was hoping for something with a bit more seasoning but overall, it was ok. The dish came with frites too which I was excited to try. They were crispy yet soft on the inside. I like my fries a little more skinny and crispy but these went well with the beef gravy on the side. Overall, the evening was pleasant but the food wasn't the best Belgian I've had, about a 3/5 for me. Just so so. Also, as a side note - They really need to work on their bathroom situation. The queue was really long for one stall and people were lined up the whole time we were there.

Located in East Harlem, the subway took me to 103rd Street. A steep hill fortified my appetite. Cafe D'Anvers is easy to spot with it's inviting red exterior. Laura was at the table. Jackie greeted us cheerfully. We came here for Moules Frites which we ordered and a glass of Sancerre to wash it down. Two large kettles were put down in front of us with plenty of mussels and a separate bowl of fries. Mayo and ketchup to dip the fries. I prefer mayo. We ate our way enjoying the meal. Dessert was vanilla ice cream with a sour cherry sauce and their signature chocolate mousse with strawberries and puffs of whipped cream. Both desserts satisfied immense. I recognized the mousse cups as I had bought them at Eataly. Jackie told us that they make the mousse and have an account with Eataly to sell it there. Laura and I enjoyed our lunch here. I also spied Jo Malone hand wash of English Pear and Freesia in the gender neutral restroom. Cafe D'Anvers is a cozy restaurant with both seating and a bar area. I am looking forward to another meal here.

Major side notes: The prices online are a whole lot less than what's listed on the menu there so I…read morehave added a photo from outside. For instance, the pistachio crusted salmon is $28 online which is a good deal for the area and $38 there which is a bit much among other dishes. There are also missing things from the online menu such as the grilled octopus. Anyway, I was here recently at this pretty new restaurant with a small group of 5 others. The menu online is listed as Mediterranean and Italian but I found more stuff on here to be Italian and in general, there's a lot of seafood on the menu. I am quite aware how new this spot is because I was (rather unfortunately) at a prior cafe at the same exact location called Atelier which was Middle Eastern and French influenced which was absolutely terrible but luckily this place is much better. There is ample rooms between the different tables and the lighting is nice. The music, or rather muzak, are covers of songs which don't really fit here such as Despacito (I can't believe I heard this at a Yorkville place) but at least the volume was low. The service was a tad slow and didn't pay attention well enough but I presume some of this will improve as the place has been here longer and I'm not surprised how long the meal lasted because it's Yorkville/the UES. They gave us several types of bread to munch on with a couple pieces on each side not matching and there are bottles of olive oil. The best of the breads were the grissini/breadsticks and there was a piece of olive bread which was pretty tasty also but all of them were good. I went with a special of the day as my appetizer which was the Soft Polenta with mixed vegetables and tomato sauce for $24. This was pretty pricey but the portion size was probably big enough for two to share. The polenta texture was fine and warm while the vegetables (zucchini, carrot, eggplant, tomatoes, some other stuff) was much hotter on top which was a bit odd. I wish that there was more of said vegetables because this was the best part of it with the tomato sauce being quite nice. Another person had two appetizers as their meal and enjoyed the Fritto Misto as well as the Eggplant Napoleon. My main dish was the Pistachio Crusted Salmon which is listed online as $28 with citric fennel and butter. However, as said, the actual menu version is an extra $10 more and has a lemon-capers vin blanc sauce instead along with sweet potato puree and asparagus. I have no complaints about the protein as the salmon was good quality, they gave a pretty decent portion, and it was cooked very nicely with me personally having ordered it as rare and it coming out as such being fork tender and quite buttery. My issue instead of the fish was the pistachios as while the dish was listed as crusted, the pistachio flavor was almost muted being more of a topping than a crust which was unfortunate. The asparagus below were fine and the puree which took up the majority of the plate had a good texture and the flavor was fine. Overall, the dish was good but not almost $40 good. Another person had the Spaghetti Special with cherry tomatoes, calamari, and fra diavlo sauce for $42 (also available with shrimp instead for $36 on the main menu) which they enjoyed, one person had the Fettuccine Bolognese, and another person split the same salmon dish with someone else along with I believe the whole Mediterranean Branzino which they enjoyed. For dessert, another person ordered the chocolate cake at the end for us to share which which was a good portion but unfortunately was a bit dry with another person at the table saying that was probably a bit old. I was happy that it wasn't too sweet though I did find it dry with the crust at the end being the best part as it had a good texture. From the completely different price points and menu to the service woes to the minor issues with dishes, it's hard for me to give this spot a higher rating. The chef clearly knows how to cook everything perfectly but the little faults add up. Mid 3 lowered.

To eat I got the egg sandwich with ham, cheese and it came with tomatoes and lettuce. There was one slice of what I think was American cheese and it was on a brioche. Looked like a hamburger bun and it was small. I thought the eggs would be scrambled by they were over easy or over hard or something as they were not runny and not scrambled. It comes with fries but , I opted out of fries or a side salad. The sandwich had no taste really and it was pretty oily. I was disappointed in it especially, because of the price of it. This restaurant was empty with one table being used when I came as I came around 10am so it was still early. But the decor in this restaurant is very pretty and elegant. They have a back area with more tables and chairs and a nice looking bar area. Will I come back and try something else for either lunch or dinner or to have a drink? well maybe. I mean the staff were nice though when I placed my food order and explained to them my food allergies there was a bit confusion, they thought I was allergic to only potatoes because I opted out of having french fries but that was not the case. She had to have one of the other guys come over to hear what my allergies were. They both were nice but felt a little rushed while telling them my allergies. I rate this 3.5-4stars. I wanted to rate it a bit higher because of the gorgeous interior.

The dough was raw and gummy. When you open it up it had zero filling in it. I had hope for the flatbread and it looked pretty decent when it came out but I was quickly disappointed. The dough was again gummy, the cheese was not fully melted and the sun-dried tomatoes were very chewy. The hamburger was overcooked, dry, and the patty was all falling apart like a chop steak instead of a burger. The roasted potatoes on the side actually tasted good but tasted more fried than roasted. The service was not great at all and after seeing we were not happy with the food, they didn't even bother to ask how it was. They were then uncomfortable and afraid to come over to the table.

After going to some uptown gallerie,s, I thought I'd have it again with coffee while sitting inside to write. (You know, people often write or use a computer at a cafe.) It was chilly outside. I had just taken my boot offm and walking up the stairs would be contraindicated. Upstairs had just been closed. I approached the bar in the restaurant, separated by the cafe by a black curtain. I asked if I could sit at a small table. At least two others were empty. I was told I could sit at the bar, presumably with cafe things I said I'd buy. The bar was too small to write. I went outside to eat and write. It was chilly. The danish was DRY. I could easily have gone to any of thousands of NYC or Queens places, or gone home to make a cappuccino, have a snack, or cook even something simple to taste brilliant as my food does. I asked after some minutes to sit at the bar to write for a while. I observed, and told them that no one had sat at that small table. I know they need restaurant seats. I would have sat for about half an hour, an hour the most, and moved (after half an hour) if it had been the only table left and dinner customers were waiting. I had finished eating. The man, maybe the owner, said that it is not a SHELTER. He said they were different businesses. They had not told me that earlier. So build a wall between them! I will not return, or even buy a coffee again from there, or suggest it to anyone. You know how often restaurants close.
