I enjoyed a really nice Thanksgiving meal here. The place was beautifully decorated…read more We had a pre-fixed Thanksgiving meal so I'm not sure what the regular menu is like but I'm sure it's just as good. We ordered two fish dishes (salmon and swordfish) and they were both delicious. The only thing I didn't really like was the rolls were ice cold and so was the butter. Wasn't something I was excited to eat on a cold Thanksgiving evening. The table next to mine was reserved for people who were dining alone and I noticed the waiters and owners made a point to chat with them and make sure they were okay. I look forward to coming here again one day.

Got a cozy window seating and loved the ambiance thanks to their floral interiors along with holiday ligthing right next to our table. Noise levels on the quiet side and easy to have conversations. They have a decent kids menu, and the Chicken Fingers ($10) were perfect for our little one. Huevos Rancheros ($19), and Vegetarian Omelette ($19) which was served with home fries and tossed salad was a good portion. Kimbo Coffee ($4.25) was actually pretty good although would've loved it to be warmer. Refills were slow to come. Food was inline with our expectations. Food arrived within 8-10 mins of placing our order, so yeah, really quick! Our initial server/waiter wasn't that attentive but their crew members were definitely more alert. Overall, pretty decent experience.

I called their UWS Amsterdam location to inquire if their suizes same as UES, answered yes, so up I went. unsmiling waitress behind the bar for some reason had an "attitude", odd because I was the only person in the restaurant. ordered the suizes with chicken, and decided to also order the guacamole & chips, just to compare v. other Mexican places. Well, upon tasting the suizes, a C- at best. the guac also "average", not worth a detour. adding" insult to injury", asked for small container of salsa verde, which she provided. but, as leaving, also asked for small container of salsa roja to which I also like to compare v.other salsas I've had. I was told it would be extra, and that she had thrown in the salsa verde "gratis" - 2oz "gratis" - give me a break??? I have been to many Mexican restaurants, I have NEVER been denied either when ask, always been accommodated - simply good customer relations and KIM: we're talking about 2oz, nothing more. I just don't get it. So, a waitress makes a decision to tell a potential customer, she would not throw in 2oz of salsa Rojas - totally alienating. Obviously will never return - just moronic! I'm not telling anyone not to go, but why would u?

My go to is usually some loaded fries and an espresso martini at Happy Hour. It's a cafe by day and lounge at night and sometimes features a DJ on weekends. Definitely a great place to be and I can only see this place growing and being a staple in the Upper West Side. I recommend this place to ppl all the time and now I'm recommending you!

I had one of the most disappointing and frankly unacceptable experiences at Smoke Jazz & Supper…read moreClub on March 28th for the 10 PM show. Let me be clear, the main redeeming aspect of this place is the talent on stage. The musicians were exceptional and deserved far better than the environment surrounding them. I ordered a scotch neat, something I'm very familiar with, and immediately knew something was off. When I politely flagged down a waiter, he responded with visible annoyance, as if I was inconveniencing him by being a paying customer. I explained the issue and simply asked if it could be checked or replaced. Instead of addressing it professionally, he walked away without a word, returned holding the bottle and my glass, and said, "this is what you were poured," before carelessly tossing the drink back onto the table. No apology. No explanation. Just attitude. It escalated from there. When I confronted him about his behavior, he denied it outright and then doubled down with an aggressive, confrontational stance, getting in my face and effectively threatening me. His exact words? "If I tossed your drink on the table, it would have been all over you!", and "Man, shut yo ass!" Completely unprofessional and unacceptable in any setting, let alone an establishment that positions itself as upscale. The manager's response was just as disappointing. Instead of addressing the behavior of his staff, he blamed me, asking why I "chased" the waiter and suggesting I should have gone directly to him. That's not how basic customer service works. I tried to resolve the issue directly, respectfully, and without escalation, something his employee clearly had no interest in. I was thinking if I talk to the waiter first, he wouldn't get in trouble with his manager. To make matters worse, the manager continued to defend the waiter rather than de-escalate the situation. At that point, it was clear this wasn't a one-off issue; it's a reflection of how this place operates. I paid my bill and left. For a venue that attracts world-class jazz talent, it's astonishing how low the standard of service is. This place is doing a disservice to the artists who perform there. I will never return, and I would strongly caution anyone expecting a professional, respectful experience to look elsewhere.
