    7th street pizza
    Itiel W.

    Went to Bison & Bourbon for a nice night out, and it was a great time. The food was fantastic, the vibes were great, and we genuinely left full and happy. We started with the 7th Street Pizza, which came out hot, crispy, and full of flavor--definitely a solid appetizer to kick things off. Then came the chicken tenders, which completely surprised us. They weren't your typical tenders--these were wrapped in a crispy onion and beer batter that added a whole new level of flavor and texture. Super crunchy, super juicy--just really well done and great value for money! The highlight was the tomahawk steak. 22oz I think, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. All in all, we were really impressed. Great food, generous portions, and a place we'll definitely be coming back to. And we have to shout out the service--it was spot-on the entire night. Our server, Juan, was attentive, and knew the menu well. Everything came out at a good pace, and we never felt rushed or overlooked. It really made the whole experience that much better!

    Came here dinner after work with coworkers . I ordered the passion fruit mojito and asked to not have simple syrup otherwise it will be too sweet . I enjoyed it. We had a few appetizers, the tacos , crispy cauliflower , and some beef dish I forgot the name off but it was so soft and yummy. Amongst the four of us we each ordered a steak . Meal was great , staff friendly ! Will be back !

    Tuna tartare that didn't taste great and looked awful

    The only thing this place has going for it is its glatt kosher status, which falls way short of the high expectations I had when the very dim lighting covers up the overcooked dried out dry aged prime rib that I ordered medium rare. and the tuna tartare arrived, plated like some vomit a toddler stuck their fingers through to draw with. the service was average, overpowered by the excessively loud music that prevented conversatoon or helped the awkward date where nothing is said. I wouldn't give it another chance, but I'm ready to support the next kosher steakhouse or see if they'd hire a chef that is willing to help pick up their slack for the prices they charge.

    Excellent food and service ! Love the ambiance and the decor ! My burger was made to perfection.

    Great service, food and value. Appetizers are very solid, we had the wings, pastrami and the fried cauliflower. Felt a bit "one note" in terms of flavor, but was an excellent start. The mains here are obviously the steaks. Delmonico is $10 price difference for bacon and fried onions. I asked for mine medium, but it came more rare/med rare so I asked them to send it back, and then it was perfect. We had managers come to our table asking if everything was OK, which was the first time I've ever seen that in a while! Dessert was good too.

    Place design is beautiful and unique!!

    Best restaurant by far from all nyc restaurants. It's kosher and amazing,! Every dish look like Michelin dish. Best service I ever got in nyc! And there cocktails was booming! The tequila sunrise is highly recommended!! I felt like I'm celebrity the moment I step in!

    Bourbon flat bread pulled beef

    Came into Bison and Bourbon a Sunday evening during COVID time. For me and my wife's 3rd anniversary Overall vibe was on point. Elegant music, and safe social distancing (outdoors)- yet still 'popping' with people enjoying their meal. Our waiter Lavon was very professional and offered stellar recommendations. We ordered A passion fruit mojito - delicious as expected :) bourbon pulled beef flatbread - delicious pulled beef on a crispy flatbread. Cordon bleu- pastrami wrapped with fried chicken. This was special. Delicious blend of flavors and sauces. Toasted chicken waffles - never tried this combo before. Sweet and yummy. And we split a surprise steak - cooked medium and absolutely perfect. For dessert we had the lava cake.

It has the kind of cozy neighborhood vibe that makes you want to relax and savor your meal. Our server, Annie S., was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and very easy to talk to. Her service struck the perfect balance and truly enhanced our experience. We shared the Sailor Gin Martini, which was beautifully chilled, bright, aromatic, and finished with a lovely dry note. It was refreshing and absolutely delicious. For our appetizer, we shared the quiche. It was so good that we completely forgot to take a photo before finishing it! For our entrées, I ordered the cod and my husband had the burger without the bun. The cod was honestly one of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh, and full of flavor. The pea purée that accompanied it was equally delicious and complemented the fish beautifully. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his burger, and I couldn't resist helping myself to some of his fries, which were excellent as well. Every part of this meal was enjoyable, from the drink and food to the warm hospitality and comfortable atmosphere. Needless to say, we both left very happy.

    I was so excited to come back here with out of town guests. The food was still incredible, but this…read moretime the service was incredibly disappointing. We ordered two appetizers with distinctive sauces, and when our plates weren't cleared after the first course, we made what I thought was a very reasonable request for fresh plates. That simple request seemed to send our server over the edge. At a restaurant of this caliber, I would expect fresh plates and silverware to be brought automatically between courses. Instead, the staff insisted that we keep using the same silverware throughout the meal. Later in the evening, I sat with an empty cocktail glass for quite a while. I tried making eye contact with our server, who appeared to avoid our table by turning her back and refusing to look over. I suspect she noticed me in her peripheral vision because she abruptly said, "I'll be with you in just a moment." I wasn't waving her down or trying to interrupt her. I simply wanted a wine list, which could have been dropped off in seconds for me to browse while she continued helping other tables. Instead, after I asked, she prioritized several other tasks before eventually bringing it over. At one point, my friends joked that "the food is great in Brooklyn, but the service is rude." That honestly made me sad to hear because it doesn't reflect the Brooklyn I've known over the past 14 years. I've always found it to be warm and welcoming. I'm not sure what happened to Sailor, but this experience couldn't have been more different from my first visit, as reflected in my previous review. Before dismissing this as someone being overly critical, it's worth noting that I worked in the service industry for 17 years. I know restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. But basic hospitality, attentiveness, and professionalism should still be part of the experience, especially at a restaurant of this quality.

    Make your reservation - this place was busy even right at 5 pm on a Friday!…read moreMiss Ada is the perfect place to come with friends and order a bunch of things to share. I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering. The only thing I was not a fan of is their drink menu - all of the cocktails are spicy or smoky. Although you can sub out different alcohols, it would be nice to have a few other options.

    sweet potato hummus ($14) - saw a bunch of people recommend…read morethis but i personally didn't really see the hype - it was just sweet potato with a bit of spice mixed with other flavors that i wasnt really fond of - i realized i like my sweet potato just plain and charred instead of something too fancy - it's not bad but im not impressed whipped ricotta ($14) - this was very yummy! I thought it would be quite heavy but when paired with the pita bread it was just right - light and fluffy with a light drizzle of honey made it a great ricotta - however, ive had better ricotta before at theodora lamb shawarma ($20) - i wasn't expecting it to be a dip but it was delicate and delicious anyways - this is probably my fav dish out of all 3 - the dip was strong and smooth; tasted unique but not anything too impressive either - the lamb was super tender but it was quite strong; i dont think people would've been able to handle it if theyve never had lamb before rating: 4/5 - everything we ordered was good and the quality is definitely there so it's a solid 4 but nothing really stood out - ive had better and more innovative dips elsewhere - the vibe is cute though! It's a perfect brunch spot decorated with plants; feels like a cozy little tree house - quick service; nothing to note IG: @nom.noms.only

Food was a little hit and miss: The Smoked Salmon Deviled eggs were interesting but I don't think I'd order them again. The Burger & Fries were good, but we thought both were over salted and weren't too big a fun of the large tomato on the burger, though without it I think the bun would have been too hard.
