Great cocktails, delicious food, fun ambiance. Recently went there twice in one week and enjoyed it very much. The short rib was amazing as was the duck. very well prepared. Calamari was crispy and light, the shrimp scampi was so good I could eat two of them and the sauce was rich and delicious. Our servers were friendly and professional on both nights. But beware - it's cash only. read more

I had high hopes for S&S, but it felt a little more sports bar-y than I was expecting. The bartenders seemed a bit aloof, and it was hard to get their attention. The cocktails weren't particularly innovative. My Porn Star was cute - definitely super sweet. Cash only. There's an ATM in the back. read more

Went here on a date and had a nice time. The music was nice, but random. One minute we're hearing Whitney Houston and ABBA and then all of a sudden Karol G comes on. I ain't mad. The decor was lovely with chandeliers and even a dragon fly door hook in the restroom. Beautiful mirrors and a fireplace. The menu had some nice variety. I had the carbonara which I thought was ok. Would've liked it to be a bit creamier. My date had the chicken sandwich. He had no complaints. I had a guava margarita which was ok and for dessert the tres leches. The tres leches was ok. It was dry which is a no no for tres leches. It should be super wet and creamy. Overall a nice bar with nice options. I would go again. Oh and they don't take card. read more

My favorite restaurant i came here for a friends birthday when I first moved to Woodlawn and I fell in love with the braised short rib. I come here for all special occasions because I love the ambiance and the staff. They are very attentive and kind. There is an ATM in the back. They have karaoke nights and other fun events. The drinks are great especially the sangria. I also enjoy the chicken carbonara and the salads. My husband enjoys some of the seafood dishes and I believe he had lamb last time we went. They have fun seasonal drink menus too. This place is worth the money and truly a gem. read more

Overall great experience, especially during the pandemic. Great atmosphere. It is a little tight if you take into account the social distancing practices. I had the halloumi cheese fries for an appetizer and the steak frites. A go to when exploring for great steaks lol, but good taste. If you're ever in the Yonkers area and want to grab a drink and pretty good food. Swing by this place. I'd def go back. Cash only when I had went, so keep that in mind, there is an atm on site just a heads up! read more

What a nice place for drinks and a meal. Very well decorated with many chandeliers and a big bar with lots of seating. The dining area is all hi top tables with several banquets on the wall. We were warmly greeted by the bartender who poured water for us without asking and gave us menu's. They had several cocktails of interest. I had the pumpkin espresso martini which was very good and not a bad price at $10. My daughter had a Guinness which was poured perfectly. We finished off with another specialty drink, a pear martini, equally good. Now to the food. OMG I had one of the best burgers of my life and I've lived a long life. I tasted the ground patty before I closed the bun and the meat was so tasty. The burger was topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese served on a brioche bun. It was extremely delicious. The fries were crispy and abundant. My daughter had the mushroom ravioli's in a mushroom truffle sauce which she devoured without sharing. She said, "sorry Mom but it was really good." She wouldn't lie to her momma, so I know it was good. We finished our meals with a tiramisu. Having thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience we can't wait to go back. We were both texting each other after how we would return with this friend or that family member! BTW, we found no problem with street parking. Meters in front of restaurant but across the street no meters so free parking. read more

I recently visited this past weekend as we heard the food was really good and we showed up without a reservation but were seated immediately for outdoor seating (social distancing taken into account). The bar was not open for indoor dining and if you needed to go inside, masks are required. Jhevar and Diana were extremely attentive and accommodating during our dinner and assured us of all measures being taken as we all transition into a new norm post covid. Thanks for the recommendation for food; the wings and buttermilk chicken sandwich were delicious! This restaurant is cash only, with an ATM on-site but a bank down the block.

I have NEVER had tuna wontons like this. The pieces of tuna were not small pieces, but big chunks in a crispy wonton cup. This was the freshest version of this dish that I have tasted. The pico de gallop was fresh, the black sesame seeds gave a toasty flavor, & the avocado & chili lime vinaigrette under the taco was so creamy with a hint of heat. I ordered crispy skin duck breast, that I've been eyeing on the menu for a while, & it was so delicious. The skin was perfectly crispy while the inside was nice & pink. What I couldn't stop raving about were the grilled root vegetables. The flavor of them was just so charred, smoky, & incredible. Another delicious part of the dish, which I literally couldn't stop eating, were the purees that were on the dish. One was sweet & smoky while the other was bright & fresh. Everything on this dish just came together & paired together so well. read more

Visited with a group of five and decided to try several of the wing flavors. The wait staff was extremely attentive -- so much so that once they saw how many plates were coming out, they proactively recommended moving to a larger table so everyone could be more comfortable. That level of awareness doesn't go unnoticed. Water glasses stayed full, and the table was checked on consistently without feeling rushed -- about every 20 minutes or so. Service felt thoughtful and well-paced. A major highlight: the option to order all drums, all flats, or a mix. That alone earns points. Table favorites were the Pineapple Teriyaki, Thai Chili, and Lemon Pepper -- chef's kiss. Great food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

We were greeted kindly by the staff sat down handed a set of dominoes to play with while we waited for our food and drank some water. The place is decorated nicely and you can see the vision in mind definitely. We placed our orders and I'm not gonna lie I came in thinking the food was gonna be eh but I was blown away by the flavors. For drinks we ordered a spicy sunset, pretty young thing and cokes. The spicy sunset is a nice strong drink and is rimmed nicely with just the right amount is tajin as you drink it; it has a nice smoky after taste to it definitely was delicious. The pretty young thing was a nice citrusy drink with a little salty aftertaste, which balanced out the flavor nicely. The cokes were not water down they were good as well. For food we ordered the Cuban sandwich with parmesan fries, butter chicken wings, butter chicken macaroni and cheese, steak nachos grande, butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and mom's butter chicken platter. This was a wonderful Spanish and Indian style combination of flavors. Definitely my first time having this type of food and wow what a mind blowing experience. Not one person in the table complained or had anything negative to say about their food. We all tried each other's food and each bite we exchanged to try was delicious and better than the last . The Cuban was delicious but the parmesan fries stole the show from that meal it was paired so lovely who would've thought those flavors would've mixed nicely. The buttery chicken wings oh my God dripping with goodness each bite was legit finger licking good lol. The butter chicken macaroni very very delicious. Had a nice cheese pull and a good balance could not stop eating it. The steak nachos were delicious I wish It had a little more meat, but it was not bad. The butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries also delicious and the fries were cooked so nicely that it was crispy and soft at the same time per bite. The mom's butter chicken platter was delicious they gave the right amount of sauce, the pita bread was delicious and soft, the salad that it was paired with was good too the rice was decently portioned. Everything was definitely tasty. Not one complaint of any of the meals. We did not wait long for the food. Bathrooms were nice and clean. I want to come back to try more things in the menu that's how good the food was and our group agreed to also come back with us. This spot is definitely a place to try. They have a beautiful quote right near the bar that really spoke to us, especially during these times it said "you are exactly where you need to be." It makes you stop for a second and really take it in and just live in the moment ... especially living in New York, where you have to be always go go go fast fast fast. This was really beautifully written thank you to the staff who made our night and our friend's birthday special we'll see you soon.

I've patronized this spot a couple of times in the past years and visited as recently as this past…read moreSaturday. You get what you pay for here. The chef loves his job and we can taste it in his creations. The music is loud but I honestly can't complain about the selection. The waitress didn't visit much but we also didn't need her. I have absolutely no complaints and should probably visit more often to get a full experience of the menu and the chefs talents. The only possible inconvenience I can foresee is parking if you're not one of God's favorites. Other than that the music's good, foods great, the temperature is accommodating. Enjoy.

The service was also top tier. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time, which I really appreciated for a special occasion. As for the food, it was just okay. My steak had a bit more fat than I would've liked, and while it was still decent, it didn't fully meet my expectations. The drinks were on the sweeter side, which may be a plus for some, but weren't really my preference. My friends and family felt pretty similar--everyone said their food was okay, nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out. Overall, it's a cute spot with great service, but the food could definitely be better. I'd still consider going back for the vibe and maybe trying different menu items.

I'm not sure why I even bothered. I came here years ago and was happy enough with the spot. The B…read morehealth grade (for a bar) and the horrendous reviews should've been enough to keep me away, but I was like... it's a dive bar. I just want a beer... That's not difficult. I wanted to go to An Beal Bocht but it was packed so decided to give it a shot. 5 people in the place and still a bouncer to check IDs. Gave my cc to hold a tab and was happy when the bartender asked if she should close it out since I heard there could be a $20 minimum from other reviews. She seemed nice enough, got 2 rounds of Blue Moon for 2 people.. taste was definitely off, but again I wasn't being picky for a dive spot. I closed out after round 2. Bottom line.. 4 beers: $36 + $7.20 tip automatically charged. Wth??? I always doubt these bad reviews and think a business couldn't possibly run that way but yep... they do.... and they're still running... don't make the same mistake I did. Go to the crowded bar or walk to Riverdale Avenue and go to a different place. This one should be closed down.
