The Snug almost never gets really busy or crowded, but tonight was a special night. The music was superb and the drinks were always strong and reasonably priced, which is they way it should be! And like most Fridays a local musician plays and tonight, the most famous City Island recording artist owned this crowd, while providing excellent music and delightful entertainment. Pepe sang an eclectic mix of songs from Dean Martin to Credence Clearwater Revival favorites. The Snug has a fabulous atmosphere, good eats at reasonable prices. Although the bar has a few color monitors showing local sports, tonight all eyes and ears were focused on Pepe and his son, who were pleasing the crowd with American favorites. A good time was had by all. Take a listen to the link below and see if you remember his oldie, but goodie hit and why Pepe Cardona is City Island's most favorite recording artist. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV9SfW8kX9I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtgYNcAsYZ0

It took a little longer than 20 but it was nominal. The calamari came unseasoned with tartar and not marinara sauce... im sorry did I order crab cakes? Also have you ever heard of old bay? If you're not a fan of seasoning don't serve food that demands it. My 6 year old can handle that one The burger was obviously from the freezer and not fresh. It was warmed. Not cooked. Do you know how hard it is to serve a frozen patty still raw? That takes talent. Thankfully I saw it before I got too far into it. I ordered the "Wayne" burger. I guess it was meant to come partially raw with raw accoutrements. The fries... well they're on par with the rest. Soggy, raw and... not worth the order. Maybe I'll try to feed this to my dog... Actually I won't. He deserves better.

The restaurant is pretty unassuming compared to the other restaurants on the island - I actually drove right past it. They don't have a parking lot but street parking wasn't too hard to find.

You get about six shrimp and the fries were actual potatoes cut into wedges. I would have preferred either more shrimps or larger shrimps and less fries but they were good. The draw on Wednesday nights is karaoke. It was ALOT of fun and it gets crowded so be prepared to put your name on the list and wait to sing your song.

Upon arrival, management informed us they had no cook and no staff available and were unsure if anyone would be coming in due to an impending storm. For context, the storm was not expected until Sunday. There was no one available to serve drinks or hookah, and we were advised to leave, eat elsewhere, and come back. When we returned later that evening (still before 11:00 PM), we asked for hookah and were quoted $43. I showed them their Instagram story posted just a few hours earlier advertising promotional pricing valid before 11 PM. Despite this, they refused to honor their own posted promotion. Between the lack of staffing, poor communication, and refusal to honor advertised pricing, this was a very disappointing experience. I came to unwind and instead left frustrated. This reflects poorly on management and overall business practices.

The shrimp was broiled and had a char to them, not too bad. Food was just okay overall but the lychee Martini was awesome. I would come back for drinks. I came back a second time for the lychee martini lol and I ordered the shrimp/salmon combo with garlic mash and broccoli. Now that was tasty and on Saturdays they have a Dj at night!

It's a trendy spot with a clean modern feel and when you walk in you can sit anywhere super relaxed super welcoming. The staff was very nice from the jump and our waitress was attentive the whole time without ever feeling overbearing. The place is spotless. Bathrooms clean dining area clean everything looking fresh. You can tell they take pride in keeping the space tight. Food came out in about 10 minutes hot and flavorful. I went with two other people and all three of us were impressed. Every dish was tasty very well seasoned, and very well put together. It's the kind of meal where you pause mid bite because the flavor hits right. Hot, fresh, and satisfying after a run. We enjoyed the food we enjoyed the vibe and we enjoyed how attentive the service was. Just a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

I deleted it because this business doesn't deserve to have the previous review that I gave. I'll admit, that years ago a mistake was made with my order and I left a scathing, harsh, and mean review. I was having a bad day and I took it out on the restaurant. Even though something was wrong with my order, they did not deserve a review like that! Ever since that time, I haven't stopped supporting this business though. Over the summer, I had an encounter with either the manager or owner and I think his name is Steven. I owe him and his employees an apology for that horrible 2-star review that I left! He said he remembered me by my orders from years ago. And to be perfectly honest, I was clueless as to how he remembered me, but then it all made sense. He probably remembers me because of my extremely harsh review that I had left from years prior, and I am only just now realizing that. Since I publicly bashed your business years ago, I want to publicly apologize, I'm sorry for that harsh review! Blackstone Bar & Grill is an amazing bar/restaurant in our neighborhood that serves high-quality food! Definitely better than your average bar grub! They're very accommodating to me when I come with my toddler son and my dog, and make us feel very welcome. I'm a frequent flyer, especially for their wings with the bomb blue cheese! They have the best in the neighborhood! All the staff members are super friendly and helpful. Blackstone is one of the best spots in our neighborhood and I'm happy to support them!

The Happy Hour menu is what I came for along with the fact that it was Friday and my first full week of being back to work. I decided to come here after walking by and seeing their happy hour menu. The place is huge and beautiful inside. I included a small video in this review so you can have a better idea. They also offer outdoor dining, just a small area because the inside has plenty of space, even at the bar. I decided to get a classic mojito, buffalo chicken wings with sauce on the side, yucca fries with chimi sauce and my girlfriends ordered oysters, nachos, eggplant coquettes, also buffalo wings and beer along with a passionfruit and coconut mojitos. The drinks were good but not strong enough. I should have ordered some shots lol. The yucca fries were really good with the chimi sauce and my girlfriend enjoyed the oysters with all the toppings but thought they were really small. The eggplants and complementary dinner rolls were the stars of the night, they were delicious and I would ordered plenty on my next visit. As the night began to arrive they were setting up the stage for something like a musical act. The atmosphere began to change and the place became more intimate. A bit romantic and that was our que to leave. My overall experience was good, I had an evening and I will do another visit. I'm giving a thumb up! Happy Yelping!

A host sat our group of three down and was very accommodating. It took a little while for them to take our drink orders, but it seemed like they were overwhelmed so it was understandable. The spicy margaritas were solid, but the lychee martini and raspberry lemon drop were not the best. We also wanted to order food and were told it would be about an hour wait. If I'm drinking, I definitely want to eat, so I asked if there was anything that could come out quicker for us to munch on. About halfway through the wait it seemed like they didn't have guac and chips, so they brought bread and butter out to a few tables. I guess that was their way of giving people something to snack on while waiting. Right before our dishes came out, one of the waitresses had us pay for what we ordered with her (a couple of waitresses were helping us). I thought that was a little tacky, she could've waited until we were done or combined the tabs since we were at the same table the whole time, not sure if that was possible. Anyways, the food was decent. We had the chicken tacos, nachos, and chicken chunks. I will say they play good music and had all the games people wanted to watch on. It seems like they need to work on being a little more organized and staying calm under pressure, but they have potential.

Our waitress which was also our bartender was very nice. For starters we had 2 orders of their happy hour wings. Happy hour wings come with 4 pieces. 1 order of buffalo and an order of sweet chili. Both were crispy and very tasty. We also had raspberry lemon drops which were presented beautifully. Well balanced, not too strong or sweet. The pineapple margarita was too sweet for me. We moved on the nachos w/ beef and a Beyond Burger for our entrees. Both were ok... once we received our check we noticed we weren't charged for a Beyond Burger but a Cheeseburger. That is a very dangerous mistake.... Luckily my BF prefers veggie patties and doesn't have any type of allergy, intolerance or religious reasoning behind it. Not sure how that was misconstrued but that mistake leads down a very slippery slope for people with any type of allergies & intolerance.
