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.

I really wanted to like Bronx Public, but my experience ended up being pretty average…read more I ordered the plantain chips as an appetizer and the crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for my main course. The chicken sandwich was juicy with the sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and soft center. The plantain chips were a little undercooked for my taste. They also came out at the same time as my sandwich, so they really weren't much of an appetizer. I also ordered an Old Fashioned. Since it's my favorite cocktail, I may be harder to please than most, but I'd only give it a 2 out of 5. It just didn't have the balance and flavor I was expecting. The atmosphere was probably the highlight of the visit. They have seven big TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great place to watch sports. Unfortunately, the service details brought the experience down. I asked twice for no pickles on my sandwich, but it still came out with pickles. Thank goodness I'm not allergic to pickles, because that could have been a much more serious mistake. It's a simple request that should have been caught. Overall, there were some positives, especially the sandwich, fries, and sports atmosphere, but too many small mistakes added up. Between the appetizer arriving with the main course, the undercooked plantain chips, the disappointing Old Fashioned, and the missed special request, this visit didn't live up to my expectations.

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!

We managed to get a table fairly quickly and we spent the evening cheering on my hometown team. This was not my first visit there, and last night, the menu was limited due to the large crowd. Nonetheless, even with the limited menu, the food was tasty, fresh and arrived quickly. The drinks were strong and the service was outstanding. Anthony D was our server, and even with the huge crowd, he paid attention to us and had a very pleasant attitude. We did not feel neglected or ignored for one second, even with all of those people. I had the chicken tenders and fries which were delicious and were a nice, generous portion. My daughter had the Caesar salad and she said it was excellent. We have been here before, and we will be back again. Just had to give them a shout out because of the excellent service given, even with the large number of people in attendance. Anthony D was amazing ! NY KNICKS ! WORLD CHAMPIONS !!!

Disappointed and Dismissive Service…read more We have been to Tortoise & Hare before (over few years) and genuinely enjoyed it, which is why this experience was so jarring. We sat at the bar yesterday afternoon. My husband ordered the veggie burger, but after two bites, he realized it just wasn't to his taste--it happens. When he politely called the bartender over to let him know, we didn't even get a chance to ask for a solution before the bartender said, "Oh, I am not going to be able to take it off the bill." That was it. No "I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it," no "Can I get you something else instead?"--just a defensive and prematurely rude response, as if we were trying to scam a free meal. We were completely taken aback. We go out to eat every weekend, and in any other restaurant, the standard response is to offer a replacement or at least apologize for the dish not meeting expectations. At that point, we asked to speak with a manager, hoping for a reasonable resolution. The bartender replied that he was the manager. That was the final straw--no escalation possible, no one above him to correct the situation, just the same cold, dismissive attitude we'd already received. We paid the full bill and left the establishment extremely upset. It left us wondering: was it because we were a mixed-race couple (Black and Mexican) sitting at the bar? I really hope not, but it kinda felt like a micro-aggression, the dismissive and cold treatment was a stark contrast to the service we've received here before. We won't be back. It's 2026 and there's no need to experience and pay for micro-aggressions. There are too many great spots in NYC that actually care about their customers' experience.
