Mozzarella Sticks
Crystal L.

My first time here and I loved it! My boyfriend & his brother have been there many times and I was told that the food was good, the atmosphere is calm and the service was by Joe was one of the best. I definitely have to say that I would come here to dine in & if I wanted some good food that wasn't fast food! Everything about this place I loved! Can't wait to try more of their menu!

Brunch menu
Barbara G.

The waiter was friendly and welcoming. He made us feel at home. He helped with the food choice. So many options! They have a brunch special that comes with a small Carafe of Bellini or Mimosa. The waiter suggested shrimp scampi since he said the shrimp and grits came with fried shrimp. Guess what I ordered the scampi and it too was fried??? Anyway it wasn't bad except there was a llllllot... of oil in the "scampi" My husband ordered Catfish and jalapeño grits. It was good. Just a little on the salty side.

Honey BBQ Wings 7 Piece
Jeannette A.

Decided to come here for some after work drinks on a whim. Step In is located just steps from the Parkchester 6 train station. Happy Hour ends at 7 but you'll still find a lively crowd. Had a seat at the bar and ordered some wings and a drink. Scoping how the bartender pours is usually my clue whether I'm gonna stay or not. Judging by how he poured that Henny cocktail let me know I was in the right place. Happy Hour prices are more than reasonable so get here between 3 and 7pm for sure. The BBQ were fried hard, seasoned and had plenty of sauce like I like. Step In is just a good neighborhood bar period. I love coming to places like this because it's unpretentious, drinks are strong and food is delicious. What more can you ask for!?

Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken.
Bert R.

This is my local spot so I'm REALLY BIASED when it comes to Step In. The food is great, the servers and bartenders are friendly. The overall vibe is cool depending on what you like. If you want to hear a DJ while you enjoy your food I suggest you show up on a Saturday or Friday night. If you want a family friendly environment, brunch is the perfect time for both parents and children. Great prices, great portions, great drinks and a great environment.

Shrimp in A Basket
Dove C.

Step In is such a fun place to hang out! I went with a friend who is a regular, and it's everything he said it would be. Great drinks and food, friendly staff, and good vibes with the music! I can see why the regulars show up! I tried the shrimp basket - very simple fried shrimp and French fries. It was fresh, and an ample serving. I also tried the Lychee martini, and it was delicious! Definitely will visit again!

Lynchburg cocktail and a mule
Sumaya R.

Their portion sizes are huge, an appetizer can be considered a meal itself. Drinks are made strong

Catfish sandwich

OMG I HAD THE SANDWICH AND IT WAS AMAZINGGGGGG!!!!!!! My husband loved the fettuccine and wouldn't stop talking about how good the shrimp and bread was. I loved the Cajun fries, they where seasoned to perfection and extra crispy

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

Amazing that's all I have to say. Owner is so nice meat is tender fries are crispy and the bread is delicious

Mango mai Thai and Patron margarita
Monique F.

Great vibes all the time. Waiters have been there for years so they treat you like family. Music is great on a Saturday since there is a live DJ. The drinks are my fav especially the mango mai Thai! The shrimp quesadillas are so good and the wings are as well. It is def a family spot in the neighborhood where you can have a good time if you don't want to travel far.

1 Star Came in…read morebefore 9:00 PM on a Friday evening, in very cold weather, expecting a relaxing night after a long week. Unfortunately, the experience turned into unnecessary stress. 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.

Paradise Lost is a speakeasy tiki bar located on 2nd Ave in the East Village. A friend & I went…read morethere after having dinner at Spicy Moon a few blocks away. We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

The drinks were very interesting and creative. The seawater martini I will say was a bit too strange for my taste but I still thought it was good. Service was very good as well. Would definitely recommend to visit if you like gothic stuff and tiki bars.
