My coworker had the chicken sandwich for $16 and enjoyed it as well! The chicken was crispy and it also came with fries! The guy working the register was very friendly and our order was already ready when we arrived. It was still warm but it was nice that we didn't have to wait. The inside space, although small, is also very pretty, and I could definitely see myself getting lunch there with friends. Love the atmosphere and the options for food and drinks! Definitely recommend. Pros: love the quality for price, atmosphere pretty and welcoming, nice staff Cons: small on the inside

Our server, Chris, was friendly, kind and social, which helped enhance our dining experience. The…read moredining area is spacious, but some of the tables were quite close to one another, where we had to squeeze in; not too big of a deal with minor adjustments. The brunch food was delicious, especially the steak and egg sandwich; the bread they used were so fluffy and it paired perfectly with chipotle mayo, which was recommended by Chris. The eggs Benedict were also cooked perfectly runny and each brunch plate came with some fruits and a drink of your choice. Overall everything was fresh and even the fruit selections were sweet. Highly recommend for those who want a simple yet delicious brunch! Will definitely be back to try their regular menu! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Wow this place is amazing! First off, the detail in the…read moreinterior design is insane. If you're a bookworm this place is definitely a cozy place for you. SECOND, the food is just as amazing! I was so happy hahah. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a restaurant for more than just their food. We came here for my boyfriend's parent's anniversary and the server's were wonderful and honestly very thoughtful as well! They were very attentive to our table and refilled our waters often. I also say this because when my bf's parents ordered the halibut to split, they had brought out their meal in two individual plates that were beautifully plated, you would think they ordered separately! They also took our group picture! :) We ordered 2 orders of the Basement Snacks: For Two, 2 orders of their raw oysters for appetizers. For my entree I ordered the Shrimp Carbonara Rossa with a side of Asparagus. Everything was so good. Their buffalo wings were perfectly marinated and not too saucy, their ribs were so tender and the meat fell straight off the bone! My carbonara was also delicious. For dessert they even gave an anniversary treat which was so sweet. I ordered a Chocolate Cappuccino which was also great. 11/10! Wonderful and would recommend.

Bota is a new addition to Staten Island. I love the intent of the location. However, this location…read morestill has some evolving. There is nothing in the area to do afterward. But if you're looking for a chill vibe and descent food this could be it. Prices were a bit steep where you're paying $50 for pork chops. The lollipop chicken was done in a buffalo sauce. I just think with these prices their food should stand out. But it really didn't. Not many options for kids. The decor is beautiful and the intent is great. But it's on a residential block, it's not park avenue or the village. That's just my take. All I can say is I told you so.

I finally give try them. Met a friend for lunch. The ambiance, the service, the food, as full vibe…read moreis top notch. I have a sals with salmon and it was awesome. The servings at very generous. The waiter was a class act. He surprised us with a nice grapefruit mocktail that was out of this world. I'm not a drinker and only do mocktails so I'm sold. I now have this in my Staten Island rotation. Bringing my hubby date night. Check them out y'all, it lives up to the hype!!

Loved the free parking and the lovely atmosphere and decor…read more The piano player added to the ambiance by playing familiar soothing smooth jazz and classics. The food was high quality ingredients done to perfection . We started with a mixed antipasto which included mozzarella , tomatoes peppers mushrooms and eggplant rollatines and spedines . I chose the stuffed pork chop which was grilled crisp outside and stuffed with cheese and provolone and moist and tender inside that I could not stop eating it and barely touched the asparagus and potatoes although they were equally delicious. My sister enjoyed the filet of sole sorentino and did not leave any on the plate. The service was impeccable; we were not rushed but the wait between courses was not long. I will be back to try the brunch.

EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE! WOW!…read more The prices here are absolutely unbelievable. A cup of chicken noodle soup is $8.00, wings are $15.00, a garden salad is $14.00, and wraps and clubs are around $15.00. Entrées range anywhere from $25.00-$40.00, and drinks are $3.00-$6.00. For the prices, we expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow, and the staff came across as unfriendly and unwelcoming. Definitely not worth the cost. We won't be returning.

The service was fantastic and attentive, even asking if we were ok if they turned of the music to raise the volume in the TV. The ambiance is friendly and lively, we sat inside to watch soccer (FIFA on all TVs) and had just an amazing time at this great establishment. You can tell this is a local favorite, and it's for a good reason!

Went near closing time and ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and fries for online takeout…read more The fries were soggy, not really crispy, and the burger's patty had a large ratio of bread to chicken. It wasn't a good value for the price in my opinion. The food was very salty. The cashier was sort of slow to acknowledge me, and was not exactly rude, but not really friendly either. The ambiance was about typical of a fast food restaurant; a step up from McDonald's or Burger King but with yellow walls and black seats / floors. Right now this place has 4.8 stars on Google. Based on my visit, I don't understand the high rating. EDIT: my visit was around 7pm on 3/9/26 and I just got around to writing the review recently. Looking back, I think my original wording was too harsh and was unfair; sorry to the owner; I've adjusted it.

This is my #1 go-to restaurant on Staten Island. I eat here almost every week when I'm in town…read more I love the laid-back tavern feel, the incredible food, and the amazing staff that always make me feel like I'm home. Some of the highlights include the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, potato pancakes, spicy London broil burrito wrap with homemade potato chips, orange chicken, fish & chips, ribeye with brandy sauce, stuffed pork chops, and even something as simple as a grilled cheese with bacon & tomato. They also make a mean cocktail! They are moving to a larger location on Forest Avenue next week and I wish them all the best!
