    Fun vibe. First time here. If you are looking for a quiet dining experience dont go. Lol Its got a nightclub vibe. Service was slow, but place was packed! We were party of 4, 2 of us got their dinner. The other 2 waited an additional 30-40 min. Food is delicious though. Supposed to be an early Bday dinner for me. Waiter never brought out the dessert with my candle ‍. I said something to Matteo, he made it right. And apologized, I Appreciated it.

    I was told about this place by my brother. Was not far from there shopping for floor tiles and decided to go in for lunch. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Nice ambience for a date night. The service was great, very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The drinks and food was the best part of this experience. For drink we ordered the Honey Fig Martini...it was absolutely delicious and sexy. We started with the Calamari Jalea...the green sauce that comes with it was orgasmic. I even put the green sauce on the crust bread that we got even before we ordered. The spread that came with r bread was good too but the green sauce was just delightful. I had the grilled octopus with salad, it was perfectly cooked, very tender and tasty. My lunch partner had the skirt steak, again perfectly cooked, very tender and tasty. Lunched was topped off with a piece of Tiramisu which was truly amazing, smooth and light. I will definitely recommend and will be returning. I can't wait.

    Very Staten Island! Not my type of sense and atmosphere. However, food, service & cocktails were great!

    Coconut pineapple Margarita... totally delicious

Our iPad menu stopped working and it took awhile for our dessert to be corrected with the right order (it took 3 servers to finally bring our dessert out). A lot of wait staff standing around looking pretty and management seemed chaotic. Definitely felt a lack of proper communication amongst team members that night once it got really busy. This was an expensive date to say the least. But if you wanted to splurge on a date night, soak in some club feels then this is the spot.

The place definitely looks good and has a vibe to it. However, everything felt a bit overpriced for me. We went for brunch, and the first thing presented to us was a buffet-style option. I actually had to ask questions just to find out there was a regular brunch menu available. The drinks were honestly a bit absurd, ranging from $17 to $28. On top of that, the music was so loud that we could barely hear our waitress, which took away from the experience. The food itself was good, but nothing really stood out as amazing. Everything was just... good. I also mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday, but somehow everyone around us received a big birthday celebration, while we didn't. When I ordered dessert, I even had to ask for a candle because it wasn't offered, which was a little disappointing considering what we saw happening at other tables.I originally found this place on TikTok and wanted to see if the vibe matched what I saw online, but honestly, it didn't hit the same for me. Not sure if I'd return.

The seating was extremely packed, they only had one server and one bartender. The server clearly didn't know how to work the POS system and messed up multiple orders & forgot to put in other orders. I was completely skipped over when the table ordered drinks, she spilled a shot on one of our party member's phones, another member of the party waited over a half hour for the INCORRECT drink, they messed up a kid's order and then acted like we were the ones inconveniencing them. Would not recommend lol. Save your time and your money because our bill racked up to almost $350 and it was probably one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in my life.

The space has an inviting, lounge-style atmosphere with elegant décor that works well for casual dinners and events like birthdays or small celebrations. The interior gives off a comfortable vibe, and it's clear the place aims to be a spot where people can unwind, eat, and enjoy themselves. The menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, including halal options, and there's something on the menu for different tastes. Some visitors have had delicious meals and enjoyed the presentation, which shows the kitchen tries to deliver quality food. That said, experiences here can vary. Some guests have had trouble communicating with staff after booking events, and there are reports of last-minute changes or difficulties resolving issues -- so if you're planning something big, it may be worth confirming details ahead of time. Overall, Canopy Lounge is a solid choice for a relaxed dinner or a small gathering with friends or family if you're in the area and want a nice setting and good food. Just be mindful to check details for reservations or events in advance.
