I decided on a 10 piece party wing combo with buffalo sauce. For $10.99 it came with fries and two pieces of toasted white bread in total. My only complaint was that I had to pay 75 cents extra just for ranch and ketchup which is sort of nickel and diming you, but the fact that it's salad ranch packets and not actual legit ranch made for wings is what was a bummer. I'd still return to try some other things on their menu! Great seafood selections for great prices!

Corn, broccoli, potatoes, rice, and two large fillets, and this was the "small." Wow. What was not so great: One of the garlic butters leaked. The smell was really good. Everything was sprinkled with hot red powder, either pepper or hot paprika. Too hot for me. I will rinse the leftovers before eating. I must be the only South Shore resident who doesn't like hot pepper. Next time I will ask them to leave off the sprinkle. Surprisingly, my husband is still chowing down, and usually he is the one who can't eat hot food. The food really is very good.

Hmm, where to start. I ordered 2lbs of snow crab legs with sausage. When I opened the tray I had 2…read moreclusters of snow crab not 2lbs and no sausage. When I went to opening the crab legs there was no meat in them. If they would've weighted it which I assumed they did, they would've realized I wasn't receiving 2lbs of snow crab more like a pound of shell. A whole leg came with a half knuckle size of meat. Maybe they overcooked it, i dont know. They also wouldn't put any of the juice or boil in a separate container for dipping the crab meat. Most establishments charge you for sauce on the side which I was willing to pay for but the lady behind the counter refused. It was a very disappointing experience, and honestly they probably got these snow crab from a Costco or wherever they sell them in stores. If people are paying money for snow crab please ensure the snow crab has meat in them.

My first visit to 14 Parish Restaurant and Rhum Bar was unfortunately a very uncomfortable…read moreexperience. From the start, the bartender's attitude seemed off, but what stood out most was the difference in how I was treated compared to the rest of my group. He was friendly, attentive, and even offered complimentary drinks and shots to my friends, while I was largely ignored. Things escalated when the check came. After I paid, my receipt was held up in a way that drew attention to the fact that I hadn't left a tip on the card. And, then he mocked me and said, "I'm sorry my service was that bad to the point, I didn't get a tip." Shortly after, my friends continued receiving drinks on the house--again excluding me out. This created an awkward and embarrassing situation, especially since I was sitting right there with them. For clarity, I tip in cash as a personal preference, but regardless, no one should be singled out or treated differently like that. He laughed, and kept showing my receipt. I'm sharing this in hopes that it's taken seriously, because professionalism and consistency in service matter. P.S- The server/bartender name was Jaquez or Jaquees (not 100% sure on the proper spelling but, he has long locs with a nose ring, and ear gauges.

There was a nice crowd, but we were seated right away and chose to sit at the bar. The bartender was very helpful and recommended a few shareable options since we weren't looking for full meals.

Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back.

I've also tried their oysters mussels and lobster... never fails... it's delicious. Only thing is they changed the butter, it's now this oily greasy butter sauce that's not good.

So this is the newest location in the area. I want to say that it has only been open a couple of…read more months. I ordered a large salmon and then for a separate order of a medium lobster tail. I explained that it needed to be separate due that the larger order is for someone who is allergic to shellfish. The guy at the counter ensures that he understands. I return to pickup my order and notice one larger container and ask where is the lobster tail? Initially he seems confused and then asks the cook. Turns out it is inside with the salmon. WTH. He apologized and immediately removed it. He swore that it was cooked separate and with the different seasoning. Here is my mistake I should of insisted on a new order. Got home and the lobster tail was indeed made with a separate seasoning BUT the salmon was obviously cooked with some shellfish. I presume shrimp. Upon serving it, I noticed there were small 3 flakes on the bottom of the fish. This is unacceptable and potentially could of been life threatening. I tried to check out a new location but I will stick to the location on 61 or 87th. If you have to go, check your food and check again.

This is the part where I wax poetic about how ill-designed dining is for solo diners, and how this…read moreis doubly if not quadruply true in Italian restaurants. I want to have the pasta, but this is meant to be shared amongst the table, not devoured by one person, but I digress. I walked in during what ended up being brunch, and while the regular menu was not technically available, the bar-server offered to ask the kitchen if I wanted something specific. That something was the Tuna Tartare, which the kitchen obliged (thank you very much). While a simple dish, it was executed supremely well. The olive oil was of such quality and robust flavor I asked the kitchen what brand they use, the avocado was at the peak of ripeness, and the house-made chips were oozing with homemade perfection. The fish was of high quality, and the ginger-orange gelatine added a subtle flavor and texture which was very unique, both as a flavor, but more so in execution! Now, to be fair, while this was not my favorite iteration of this dish, it doesn't take away from the quality and precision of execution. As my main, I ordered the Basil Pesto Brunch Gnocchi. The sauce was, true to form, very earthy, creamy, and basil-y without being overpowering. The gnocchi themselves were soft and pillowy, some of the best I'd had! The accoutrements of egg, sun-dried tomatoes, and mushrooms helped add new dimensions to the dish, adding those lightly meaty, acidic, and generally umami notes. The pork belly, meanwhile, was lost on me. Coming back to this review, I was frankly surprised they were included! Maybe this is me showing why I can't hack it as a professional, paid, restaurant critic, or maybe they were in fact, omitted. An area where Ascione Bistro shines is the service. The bar-server was friendly and attentive, and the food came out reasonably fast, especially since I could see into their kitchen, the pace of which reminds me of The Bear (don't worry, no yelling or profanity could be heard). Final verdict: Ascione appears to be a very busy spot, and for good reason. They have well executed, unique, and flavorful dishes, complemented by great service. If we pretend me not picking up on the pork belly is a 'me' issue, then the experience was flawless... except that I should have found more people to come with me, as the gnocchi loaded me with carbs, and I ended up taking half-ish home.

The local area is very busy and the police presence is very obvious, so keep that in mind, but I'm glad I made the decision. The Hostess seated me immediately and took my drink order right away. My Server, Gaby, was quick and attentive so my Wedge Salad and Grilled Octopus was delivered to my table in record time considering how busy it was. The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked and flavored and the wedge was amazing. The only issue was that the wedge salad was so big I couldn't even finish it. To end the night I had a glass of Barolo and a slice of the "made-in-house" key lime pie. It was great and paired perfectly to complete the meal. I can definitely recommend Ascione's for a night out for dinner or a date night. It's not terribly loud and it's a relaxed vibe. I would also ask for Gaby, she is a great Server.
