    Steak and yuca with mashed potato

    Went out last night in 18 degree weather for a quick bite, so glad we did. The food was amazing, the dj was playing all kinds of fun music and the waiter Hugo was super nice and accommodating. We went once for lunch and I never wrote a review, hence why I had to write one now. Really had a great time. Worth the cold night out lol!

    Great lil place. Food is fresh We had tostoobes tapados and jibarito sandwich

    Service was slow but some what attentive if that makes sense. We were sat at a table that had just been cleared but not wiped down. Drinks were great and so was the music. It's a local neighborhood spot and the vibe was cool. Food was good, my one and only issue with the food would be that they drowned the mofongo in their sauce. Not matter how delicious the sauce is, it truly should've been a tad less or on the side. The sauce made the mofongo a tad mushy and it's already a semi soft fried version of a fried tostone. Overall everyone enjoyed their food and drinks, we were a crowd of 6.

    This is such a gem in the neighborhood! They have amazingggg Latin/Puerto Rican food, really decent drinks, and great music. The bartender and servers are also really friendly and super sweet. The Chicken Empanadas, Mofongo, and fried chicken were all really good. We saw a lot of people getting the platter of appetizers (which was huge!) and that also looked great. This is a perfect place to stop by for one drink, or to sit down with friends and enjoy a meal and great music.

    Look at that egg roll. Just WOW! So flipping delicious.

    It seriously takes a lot of me to be "Wow'd" by my cultural food but Norwind's definitely left me very impressed. I ordered takeout through Grubhub and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the beef empanadas, Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and pulled pork sliders with French fries. The portions are very big and definitely fair to share with other people. I'd imagine I was going to get a small Philly cheesesteak egg roll but those things were big (2 stuffed pieces for $8) and a side cup of melted cheese, Yum. The empanadas were great but the beef did not have seasoning at all so I was least impressed with the beef empanadas. The sauce that comes with it (Mayo,ketchup type of delicious sauce) complimented the lack of flavor in beef empanadas though, so don't fret, it can be fixed. The pulled pork sliders were a huge hit! It was more like small sandwiches if you ask me. Those sliders were packed up with juicy pulled pork, white mozzarella cheese I believe and some sort of delicious pico de Gallo on top and of course some lettuce/tomato. I was really amazed by how delicious it was. I shared my Grub hub meal with 3 different people and I was left completely stuffed and satisfied as were they. It's like part of me just couldn't stop eating even though I was really full. I left a little in my to go container and had to throw it out with so much sadness because who really saves 1 bite of a pulled pork sandwich with maybe about 6 fries for the next day? Ha! I highly recommend Norwind's. In fact I'll be stopping by in person this weekend with friends so that I can brag about how I found a great restaurant with delicious food.

    My hubby and I came here the day we became an official couple!

    Hey are there any Puerto Ricans left in NYC?! If there are any left, this is the place for you. This place is like a shortcut to Puerto Rico. It has a great atmosphere and its a must see. The service is great and so is the food. I highly recommend this place for a night out with friends to enjoy some Puerto Rican food and drinks. They have an outdoor area which is perfect in the summer time. Come here and dance salsa or reggaeton with your friends. You wont regret it. This place is special to me because its the place my man asked me to be his lady. Love you Norwinds!

The music is at a low enough volume that you can hear your conversations, it doesn't get too crowded so you can spread out, even if you're in a large group. Downstairs, it's a lot tighter, with a DJ, dance floor, lounge seating area, and a much more packed and busy atmosphere on the weekends. I like ping ponging between both vibes when I'm with friends. Admittedly I've found the music both times to be too experimental for me. Confessing that makes me feel like an old person shaking my fist or at least shaking my head, misunderstanding what makes the youth tick. But I had no trouble twirling around the dance floor to this weird experimental music after throwing back a few tequila sodas upstairs. A few times while here my friends have split up into the group that wants to go downstairs to dance and the group that wants to stay upstairs and chill. It's relatively easy to navigate between both vibes, which I enjoy about this spot very much.

    Came here on a quiet weeknight by a total mistake!…read more We came to grab some drinks at the rooftop bar and catch the sunset and gorgeous views. When we saw "Water Tower" on the elevator we decided to press it. SO GLAD WE DID. We landed at the Water Tower and walked into a fairly empty space decorated with art all the way to the ceiling, filled with natural light coming in and the views of the skyline were out of this world. We had to try their drinks of course to enjoy with the incredible view. Though the drinks are $21 and served in a plastic cup that evening, I was NOT expecting my drink to be this insanely delicious. I ordered the inferno Paloma which they infuse themselves with- and it was true perfection. By the way, each bar has their own menu which is pretty awesome and makes it even more fun. Also, Axel is the most incredible bartender and we absolutely loved his creations. Later that night we ordered a custom mandarin margarita, with a spicy twist, and WOW. He's truly talented and absolutely made us some awesome drinks that we can't stop talking about. Sunset with a view and a spicy mezcal drink? Yes and YES. We had this place all to ourselves and can't wait to be back. Friday nights they have DJ nights and you can also book the Water Tower for your own private events which is pretty cool!

I've never ate here, but I recommend grabbing drinks during the summer months when they open the canopy. It's a nice rooftop feel. However, I went on a fall Saturday night and the place was completely empty. I walked upstairs and even wondered if the bar was open due to a chair blocking the entrance. If I didn't ask the waiter if they were open, I would assume they were closed and would've left. If it was near closing hours, I would understand, but it was 2 hours prior to it. Regardless, this place is great. It's extremely spacious and offers a high quality dining/drinking experience.

It is too bad Yelp doesn't allow half stars as I would honestly put this one at a 3.5 and am rounding up. While the quality of the elevated seafood bites is immaculate, they are just that: a bite or two of food, for an elevated price considering the amount of food you get. After spending $76 a person, we were still hungry, whereas that amount would have been enough to feed two average women at another good restaurant. But if you go with an expense account or trust fund baby, definitely get the scallops and the yellowtail pastrami because those two items will blow your mind. Our waitress pointed these two out to us and we're grateful for her guidance because it was spot on. Paying for bread at a Solomonov joint is odd. No dessert menu is odder. Wheelchair access details: The bar is on a terrace. The accessible entrance is through the Hoxton hotel. A staff member will take you through the k'far kitchen and up via a service elevator. No barriers once you are upstairs and plenty of accessible outdoor and indoor/outdoor options, including a small length of wheelchair height bar. A perfectly functional though unexciting wheelchair accessible restroom is available.
