The…read moreatmosphere is beautiful, but what really stood out to me was the level of attention and hospitality. From the beginning, we genuinely felt welcomed. I came here for a birthday dinner with a group, looking forward to some good food and drinks, and the experience honestly exceeded my expectations. It almost felt like the spotlight was on each individual person at our table. The staff made sure everyone felt taken care of without ever making it feel forced or overdone. And the cocktails? I kid you not, almost every drink came with its own special presentation, and they actually tasted just as good as they looked. The food portions were generous and great for sharing, the lighting gave the whole place a warm and intimate feel, and everything we ordered was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly to our liking. I genuinely wish I had the stomach to try more entrées. One of the finishing touches for me was the host coming over to our table toward the end of the night just to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves and everything had gone well. It may seem like a small gesture, but it says a lot about how seriously they take the overall guest experience. Between the atmosphere, food, cocktails, presentation, and service, we had a great experience from beginning to end. I highly recommend giving this place a try, but don't just take my word for it..OBVIOUSLY. Pu

The gelato was so unique and rich. The ice cream cookie sandwiches were perfect for me and I loved the side of Nutella with nuts on top which added a nice crunch. Their commitment to hospitality beats most restaurants I've ever visited. In our reservation, I noted that we were celebrating a birthday. When we were sat at the table, a birthday card was waiting for my mom. Our waitress Bailey was so nice and accommodated my mom's request to not draw too much attention to the celebration. I also adore the atmosphere in 618. The lighting is so elegant with the many chandeliers and the flowers on the walls. 618 has easily become a top restaurant for me.

The place is just as colorful and decorative inside as it is on the outside. They have different specials everyday and during the weekend they offer brunch specials along with bottomless mimosas. On Mondays they have buy 1 get 1 free margaritas. Happy Hour Monday-Thursday and other specials on all the other weekdays. My husband and I got some cocktails, guacamole, I got the chicken fajitas, and my husband got the birria tacos. I loved my espresso martini as it had a chocolate hint too it which I feel many places don't do anymore. My husband got the peach and mango belinni where the mango flavor was stronger than the peach which I loved because I am a mango fan. My husband wished his taco shells for the birria were a bit harder/crunchier but other than that he loved the flavor. I loved my chicken fajiatas as the chicken was still very tender. It also lasted me another 2 meals after this one. Although this place is a little on the pricier side I feel like you get your moneys worth. Plus the service is good and very fast.

I still like this restaurant but it is more of a lunch location than a dinner location for me.

Our waiter did not come to take our order until a good 35-40 minutes after sitting, not a huge deal but a notable delay. What irritated me during dinner was we were asked if we'd like dessert while 2 people were still eating their meals, followed by the check immediately arriving- no etiquette. While paying and wrapping up the staff were directed to clear the table, this was obvious. For full drinks to be removed without asking is unacceptable. It was as if we weren't even sitting there the manner they were clearing. Again it was obvious the direction of the manager, they needed the table. Try being efficient to start instead of creating a rush at the end if overbooked and delayed. It's classier than putting a check on a table with people eating and rudely clearing drinks. Will not be returning. There is better up the road with real management and service.

Initially we were a bit taken back because the waitress told us she couldn't take an order for appetizers first, that we had to order the entire order at once.

Not a single complaint from anyone. Their bruschetta appetizers, excellent. And their salmon entree was delicious. Definitely recommend this restaurant for their delicious food and the great service.

On this lunch trip, however, we sat at the bar and I opted to grab a burger on my friend's recommendation. Our bartender was quick to take our order and the food came out quickly too. I picked a Cajun burger cooked medium and the temp came out just right. The burger was flavorful, but not very spicy. I wish they would have kicked up the spice level a notch or two. My one friend had the same burger and said they are usually more spicy. The portion of fries was a bit small, but overall the meal was filling enough to leave me satisfied. The bar area has a nice backlit display and seats about 15. There are some high top tables in the bar area as well. The regular dining area is much larger and is more elevated, but semi-formal dress is plenty fine You won't be disappointed if you visit Ciro's. NOTE: They do NOT have pickles. My friends knew this and knew that they were getting burgers, so they brought a few pickle spears

The chicken flautas and empanadas were perfect to share for appetizers. I ordered the chicken bowl which came with a variety of sauces, rice, beans, guacamole. Basically all the fixings for inside a taco. I really enjoyed it! My friend spoke highly of her chicken tacos as well. We originally wanted to order tres leches for dessert. However, it was frozen according to our waiter. We tried the churros instead, but they didn't taste as fresh. We loved our spicy margaritas and espresso martinis. This is definitely a fun place to visit especially if you are going to see a show at the Bergen PAC! It's right next door. Parking at times can be limited especially on a weekend.

Based on past years and just general expectations for Cinco de Mayo, you'd expect at least some drink deals or themed offerings. The flyer is vague and ends up being misleading, it gets you in the door, but once you're seated, there's nothing different from a regular day. At minimum, there should have been some kind of special to match the holiday. This didn't live up to the expectations they set.

From the entrance there is a tiny patio and down the stairs little cute bar area. Down stairs is the bathroom and up stairs is larger seating! We got the Pine and Passion and Spicy Rabbit!, along with beef quesadilla and some guacamole. The drink menu eat the time was limited but I believe they will have their entire menu again soon with 40+ drinks! The Spicy Rabbit was delicious and packed full of flavor. On the sweeter side but very unique cause it's made out of carrot liquor! Pine and passion super refreshing and another great choice if you don't want spicy. The guacamole and beef quesadilla were delicious as well. Earlier that day I had invited a few friends to join us who both said no, but then suddenly turned up. The maya mezcal wasn't too busy and was super nice to re seat us upstairs since we ended up with 7 people total. My friends ordered the grilled avocado, chicken and more guacamole. All dishes were delicious. Grilled avocado was definitely a first and very interesting, but chicken was definitely better lol. I had such a great time I brought my brother for quick drink who was visiting New York later that week. He loved the spicy rabbit as well and had a great time chatting with bartender. Overall a solid bar and cute date spot. Will def be back to try their other drinks and food! Definitely recommend this place for anything from quick drinks, dinner, date to girls night!

I miss what this place used to be!…read more Formerly Mayahuel, Mayamezcal is a small, dark and intimate cocktail bar and restaurant on east 6th. We popped in early Saturday evening and was maybe one of two tables (it was early on a Saturday and it's also dark inside on one of the first really beautiful, warm Spring days in NYC). The decor has changed over the years (less character, especially upstairs in the dining area), and service was overall okay. We got a few drinks, an order of chips and salsa aka Salsa Fresca, and a few food items off the menu to try. Food: Salsa Fresca (Chips and Salsa): was extremely overpriced at $10 for a small handful of half-stale chips and what felt like a tablespoon of flavorless salsa. Camarones El Diablo (Shrimp in a spicy Diablo sauce): 5 medium size shrimp for $16 in a tasty, spicy sauce, with some warmed up store-bought flour tortilla. Steak Quesadilla: the best meal one of us got - steak was a flavorful ribeye and the quesadilla overall had plenty of protein, too. It had a good balance of cheese, steak, tortilla, and pickled onions. Trio of Tacos: nothing special, and again at $20 ? Overpriced. Cocktails: One of us ordered the Mezcal Sour, and I got the Spicy Rabbit - both were not very boozy and definitely not worth $18 each. This was a bit of a disappointment, honestly. And considering what Mayahuel used to be, I hope they can make a comeback. But, based on this visit, we won't be back.
