Inside - nice aesthetic, a bit bright
Jess L.

My friends and I went on a weekday evening in the fall. The space is very pretty, though I was surprised by how bright and small it was. It took a very long time to take our order, but ultimately, I think the team acknowledged the issue by ensuring we got a second round more quickly. We started standing but was ultimately able sit down in one of the leather couches even before finishing our first drinks. The menu was really good and large. It was hard to choose what to get! It's nice to have a spot like this in lower Westchester. I'll be back.

This small tucked away location seems to be a big date night spot, or let me say first date night spot. I came to meet a friend here and was pretty amazed at how many ppl seemed to be on dates. The ambiance is very cool you would never expect this inside of an old train station. Food menu is limited for more of snacks which I think is perfect for this size place. Drinks were flowing and service was attentive and had recommendations if you need it.

Stopped in by accident because we ended our night earlier than expected. It's a hidden gem in the metro north train station, and seems to be connected to a cafe that's open during the day. Very cool atmosphere and nicely decorated. The lights were rather bright for the time of night, but it was great music with a nice bar menu. Really creative names for the drinks, and the bartender was great! I forgot his name but he held down a busy bar. We can't wait to go back. I don't remember the drink names exactly, but maybe Midnight in Glasgow was one, and Summer in something. Great drinks!

I've been here multiple times with my darling wife and it's become our favorite go to spot local…read morefrom us. My dinner was the steak quesadilla and my wife had the carne asada on corn tortillas. I usually order the al pastor tacos on flour which is fantastic! Tonight my newest favorite is the steak quesadilla! I'm coming back for this!

This was my first visit back to La Casa since my initial visit back when they first opened. During…read moremy first experience, I wasn't too impressed and left a 3-star review. However, I'm happy to report that I dined here recently and had a better experience. Since the time of my initial review, La Casa remained in my periphery - mainly because my parents periodically visited and it was a frequent stop of one of my friends who lives in Bronxville. That being said, I was curious to check out La Casa again - and that opportunity came when my mother chose here to celebrate Mother's Day. La Casa is located just off the main commercial strips. The interior is pretty spacious with a bar towards the front of the restaurant and the main dining room split in two sections. The decor is somewhat under-toned with a cool color scheme and tasteful decor. This is in contrast with other Mexican restaurants that tend to go overboard with the kistch and warm colors. I will say the seats look a little tired, they could use some re-upholstering - and were a little lower to the ground than I expected. In addition to the indoor space, they have an outdoor section which was done up very nicely. The brunch menu contained a selection of apps, sides, quesadillas, tacos, and sides. We decided to start by splitting a few apps: brisket and al pastor tacos, a quesadilla, street corn, chips and guac, and more guac with tuna. All the apps were tasty - the biggest standouts for me were the quesadilla and the tacos which were all generously filled and had good flavor. For my main, I got the camarones a la diabla which were shrimp in a red pepper sauce placed atop beans and paired with bok choy. The dish was pretty good - the shrimp could have been a bit snappier, but I appreciate that they de-shelled them and the sauce and beans worked well with them. Dare I say the bok choy was the star of the dish? It had just enough flavor and added a needed green. We opted for dessert, and I got the grilled pineapple which was paired with (per the menu) vanilla ice cream or guanabana sorbet. I wasn't asked to choose, and was served the sorbet. I would have liked to have been given the option, but maybe that's all they had - fwiw the sorbet was good. The pineapple was candied and came as a large, thick ring - definitely needed a knife and fork to cut it up (which they provided); this was a good dish in concept but I think it can be executed better. Service was good, everyone was friendly and efficient. In my experience, service tends to be the weakest component of a meal on a holiday, but they did a great job. Overall, I had a good experience at La Casa. Even though it's not in my backyard, I would definitely return if the opportunity presented itself.

I was pleasantly surprised with our dinner at Bling Pig. I assumed the drinks would be very good,…read morebut did not have high expectations for the meal. Thankfully, Bling Pig exceed my meal expectations by quite a lot. Our whipped ricotta appetizer was enormous and delicious, and we shared a burrata salad that had a wonderful dressing that beautifully balanced sweet and spicy. And my fish tacos were excellent. The ambiance feels a little like a speak-easy. Kind of fun that they have a video monitor where the fireplace would be, and its showing a burning fire! That made me chuckle. That said, while I appreciate this is a bar (in addition to being a restaurant), the music at least where we were on the restaurant side of the place was too loud for normal conversation. My wife and I were right next to one another, and I felt like we had to converse with deliberate intention, which should be the case at a restaurant. On the plus side, our server was reasonably attentive and super friendly. Our bill was $120 after gratuity. It feels cheap to charge customers a percentage (I think it was 3%) for using a credit card when that's probably the primary way patrons pay. This just took away from the good vibes.

We came here for our anniversary date night, and honestly, I'm still thinking about this experience…read moredays later. The ambiance was sexy and inviting, the music was lively without making it difficult to have a conversation, and the staff were warm and friendly. The drinks were definitely a highlight. I ordered the Purple Panties, and it was delicious and strong enough that I felt a buzz after three. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered another! My husband had the Old Fashioned and really enjoyed it. We kept things light with truffle fries, Philly eggrolls, and chicken eggrolls. The Philly eggrolls were delicious, especially paired with the chipotle sauce. The chicken eggroll was a little dry, but the honey sauce was delicious and helped balance it out. I wouldn't order the chicken egg roll again. The food overall was good and perfect for sharing while we enjoyed our drinks. Most importantly, we were able to relax, talk, laugh, and actually enjoy each other's company, which made it such a memorable anniversary night. Great drinks, sexy vibes, good food, and a date-night atmosphere we'll definitely be returning to!!

SO MUCH POTENTIAL!!!!!!! The ambiance was amazing, unlike…read moreanything I've seen in NR. It's like a seedy, gothy, divy, weirdo handout. All things I love. However, things all of a sudden halted for me the 2nd the bartender told my date they had to order something despite me ordering a $15 cocktail. My immediate thought was to say, "Okay, we'll be on our way then." I didn't like that my date was pressured into ordering something. THEN she hits us with "cash only." Ugh. The cocktails. She was majorly pushing these concoctions she'd made up and said every single cocktail was $15, so we might as well go with the boozier one (as opposed to what we wanted which was something simple like gin & tonic), so we relented. They were OK. Would never order again, though. Other than the desperation and pushiness of the bartender, the ambiance was great! Fun clientele and gothy decor. If she had just eased up, I would honestly have this place be my go-to bar in town as opposed to never wanting to go again. Shame.
