For appetizers we had Oysters Rockefeller and Avgolomono Soup. The soup was very good, though the oysters could have used more salt in my opinion. My Dad ordered a drink which, apart from being delicious, came in a very unique cup. The seafood entrees we ordered were tender and fresh, which I could tell because none of them had any noticeably fishy smell. The fillets I ordered were deboned flawlessly. I felt that the fish was cooked just right, and salt and pepper were provided on request. Great value at time of visit. Would recommend and visit again.

The sage green walls, against the black and white floor, the flowers surrounding the front desk, the sage green drapes and the linen covered tables complete with lamps present a beautiful, chic, relaxed vibe. The food was great! I had the Faroe Island salmon, It was seared perfectly that gave a nice crust to the outside but the inside was moist and delicious. The sauce was delicious, lemony and was a great enhancement to the salmon. My husband had spicy lamb meatballs bowl, he totally enjoyed it, there was lentils, avocado, fete, red onion and hummus. He requested a side order of pita bread, it was served warm and they sprinkled a bit of seasoning on it, nice touch. My cocktail was the paradise punch: so good. For dessert we shared the pistachio honey tiramisu, perfect ending. This location was previously the Wynnwood, I think it lives up to the expectation for the area.

To start we had calamari and a Mediterranean salad that had olives, pita, tomatoes, cucumbers, hummus, and other spreads. We then had a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, olives and onions with a light vinaigrette. It was followed with a pasta dish. We could choose from vodka sauce or a white sauce with pancietta. For the meat course we had a choice of lamb chop, steak or salmon. Each dish came with a side of Julianne vegetables. For dessert, we hadachoice of chocolate cheesecake or pistachio tiramisu. Both were out of this world! We highly recommend this restaurant for dinner or a special event.

Dear Manager and Owner,…read more I writing because I am extremely disappointed with the experience my family and I had at Cantina Valencia on Friday night. There were three adults and two children in our party. We were seated around 7:30 PM, looked over the menu, and placed our order. My son-in-law ordered a drink, which took an unusually long time to arrive. While we were waiting, we noticed approximately three other parties arrive, sit down, order, and receive their food while we were still sitting at our table waiting. At one point, we looked toward the bar and saw the manager and owner standing there with some of the waitresses. We waved to get someone's attention because we had been waiting so long. The waitress told us she would check on our order. More time passed, and it was now around 8:10 PM. My daughter, who had just given birth a week ago, finally had to get up and stop the waitress herself to ask where our food was. Once again, we were told that she would go check. Then we discovered something completely unacceptable: our order had never even been put in. We were furious and extremely disappointed. We had been sitting there for approximately 40 minutes with two children, believing our food was being prepared, only to find out that our order had never been submitted. What made the situation even worse was that the manager and owner were right there by the bar and never came over to speak with us, acknowledge the situation, or apologize. A simple apology and an explanation would have gone a long way. Instead, we were left sitting there feeling completely ignored. Unfortunately, this was not our first bad experience with the service at your restaurant. We had a similar situation on a previous visit where we repeatedly had to flag down our waitress. We decided to give Cantina Valencia another chance, but after this experience, I can honestly say that was a mistake. I believe the right thing for the manager and owner to have done was to come over personally, apologize, and take responsibility for what happened. Customer service is about more than just serving food--it is about acknowledging your customers when something goes wrong. This experience was unacceptable, especially for a family with two children and a new mother who had given birth only a week earlier. I will not be returning to Cantina Valencia. I hope you take this complaint seriously and address what happened with your staff so that other customers do not have to experience the same treatment. Shame on you for allowing a customer to sit there for that long without even realizing their order had never been placed--and for not having the courtesy to come over and apologize. Sincerely, Dongan Hills resident for 42 years...

Just when I thought Staten Island's sushi scene couldn't get any better, Oishi opens its doors and…read moreblows every expectation out of the water. This brand-new spot on Forest Avenue is a sleek, modern izakaya that feels like it was plucked straight from Tokyo and dropped into the heart of the borough. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is electric--warm wood tones, soft lighting, and a lively open kitchen where the chefs are slicing fish with samurai-level precision. I started with the Hamachi Carpaccio, drizzled in yuzu-truffle ponzu and topped with microgreens and crispy garlic chips. Each bite was a perfect balance of buttery yellowtail and bright citrus pop. The sushi omakase (chef's choice) was the star of the night. Standouts included: Bluefin Otoro so melt-in-your-mouth rich I almost cried. Uni from Hokkaido--creamy, briny, and served at the perfect chill. A live scallop nigiri still twitching on the rice (yes, that fresh). But Oishi isn't just raw fish heaven. The izakaya side shines with small plates like Wagyu Beef Skewers glazed in a sticky-sweet tare, and Truffle Miso Black Cod that flakes apart like edible art. Even the vegan options (grilled king oyster mushroom "scallops") had my plant-based friend raving. Cocktail game? Chef's kiss. The Yuzu Gin Fizz with shiso leaf garnish is dangerously drinkable, and the sake list has gems you won't find at your average spot. Service was attentive but never hovering--our server even explained the difference between akami and chutoro without making us feel like amateurs. Prices are fair for the quality (omakase ~$85, rolls $14-$18), and portions are generous. They're still in soft-open mode, but you'd never know it--everything ran like clockwork. Staten Island, we don't deserve this place... but I'll be back weekly anyway. Oishi is officially my new favorite restaurant on the island. Run, don't walk.
