Having tried their outstanding burger the last three times there, I opted for their Buffalo wings…read morelast night. They are the best wings I've ever had in Riverdale, Inwood or Washington Heights. I can't quite figure out why other places always seem to be missing something when it comes to how they make their wing--but not Blackstone! I ordered the wings to go and while waiting, I had their Blackstone tap beer which will be the only beer I will drink there because it was surprisingly good--and I'm usually not one for tap beer. No longer Heineken, Corona, Amstel, etc.--I'll go with this delightful beer. The staff is ALWAYS very engaging and professional. I will be going there a lot more!

They love the hamburgers and my dad really likes the fried chicken nuggets or tenders with French fries. The service is always pretty good. Last week I went in there and as always the food was good and service was pretty good but since I have problems with my back I can't sit on the bar stools. Its not their fault that I cant sit up there bur I wish they has more tables with backing on chairs that would make it 5 stars. otherwise the food is fantastic

We had a fabulous lunch today at the Pine Restaurant and couldn't have been happier with the…read moreexperience. Our waiter, Ramon M., was exceptional--warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout. His recommendation for my entrée was spot on. I had dined here once before for a busy Saturday night dinner, so it was especially nice to experience a quieter, more relaxed lunch this time around--a completely different vibe, but just as enjoyable. We skipped the complimentary bread and ordered the garlic bread instead--absolutely worth it. Warm, flavorful, and truly delicious. For appetizers, my husband had the arancini rice balls, while I ordered the artichoke hearts oreganato. Both were excellent--well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. For mains, I followed Ramon's suggestion and went with the sole Francese, paired with a side of linguine in garlic and oil. The fish was incredibly tender, fresh, and absolutely flavorful--cooked perfectly. In fact, as I'm writing this review, I'm still thinking about it and already looking forward to coming back to have it again. My husband's rigatoni filetto di pomodoro was equally impressive--simple, classic, and full of flavor. Even though we were completely full--and had leftovers to take home--we couldn't resist dessert. The tiramisu was the perfect ending: light, balanced, and just the right touch of sweetness. Great food, beautiful weather, and a relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect afternoon. A spot that's just as enjoyable for a lively dinner as it is for a relaxed lunch.

Oh The Pine! I was introduced to this spot by a friend for…read moremy Birthday dinner. I must say the service was spectacular the minute I walked into this beautiful restaurant. First of all they bring out this freshly baked loaf of warm bread with butter that's perfect to start with. Then I had a chicken and pasta dish that was so delicious. I keep going for the dish. It's that good. Amazing. And I finished off with their crème brûlée. The service was nothing short of stellar. The wait staff was attentive and accommodating. Didn't miss a beat. Very nice crew. The venue itself is beautiful. Very nice decor. Spacious, clean. Not obnoxious but still classy. I personally like sitting at the bar with the coolest Bar tender "Kel". Very nice fella. So if you're looking for a great spot for delicious Italian cuisine you should definitely hit the Pine! You won't be disappointed! Oh.. They have Valet parking too for your convenience. Alright yall! Have a great day now! -Ray

Following my recent review of their Cote de Boeuf, I took home the Roasted Chicken and the Home…read morePork Chop, the latter being new on the menu. I noticed other new items, such as the pork Ossobuco, which sounded better on paper, but Felix, who had taken over from Irma, stated the Pork Chop was better than the Ossobuco and accounts for my to go order. I still wonder about that decision, but the important thing is Home Bx is constantly evolving while the chefs in the kitchen remain constant and consistent. The roasted chicken is really good and verges on comfort food. It comes with a malanga truffle puree, which is a puree of the malanga tuber in the Caribbean and South America, resulting in a consistency of mashed potatoes, but has a nutty flavor that becomes very earthy with the butter, truffle oil and mushroom sauce, sparked with white wine and bits of bacon that has you thinking pancetta. The sauteed spinach accompanying this dish melds perfectly well with this dish. The chicken is the boneless breast and bone-in wing drumette, grilled in their kitchen. The skin is crispy and there is some char from the grill on certain parts, lending even greater favor and texture you will devour. The white meat of the breast absorbs the white wine, balanced with the butter and truffle oil and never has a hint of dryness. I am certain this dish would have been exceptional had I eaten it on premises. It will not have the impact of the Cote de Boeuf, but, at twenty seven bucks, this is probably the sleeper on the menu. Four stars. The Home Pork Chop is a single French cut chop, medium thickness, bone-in resembling a mini Tomahawk style frenched bone. It comes with a Marsala mustard sauce, which I could not determine if it was made with a dry red or white Marsala wine. It was served with an Oriental sweet potato mashed that did not do anything for this dish in my opinion. I would have to revisit this by eating it on premises, but this was the least impressive of the steak and chicken. Please take this review a little lightly, given I ate the chicken and pork chop at home. The pork chop benefits from being grilled as well, but did not have the impact other preparations have at Home Bx. If the Marsala mustard sauce had more bite to it, the Oriental sweet potato would have offered the contrast and juxtaposition for this dish to shine more. You'll enjoy eating the rest of the meat off that frenched pork chop bone. 3.8 stars. They work very hard at Home Bx to deliver on your plate for the benefit of your palate. Home Bx may be the only restaurant I have found that is receiving feedback and acting upon it and without anyone's prompts and Home Bx is independently evolving in their menu, preparation, and presentation. If there's any doubt, try their Lobster Mac and Cheese and get back to me or ask the folks nearby who ordered it.
