Calamari is very good. Beef skewers are delicious. Almost everything I've had there is great. I am writing this review because one of their special the other night was a Pat lafrida filet mignon which is probably one of the best steaks the wife and I have had in years. It was so tender you could cut it with a fork. They seasoned it with salt and pepper which was perfect they sliced it for us since they knew the wife and I were splitting it. Definitely will be back for this steak. Amazing!.. Service in this place is always amazing. The bartender and the wait staff are always very attentive. The vibe of the place is very lounge like and that's not normally my thing but when the food is this good I will go. They have live bands on certain nights which really add to the overall experience. We just went there on Saturday night and I'm already craving that food again.

The burger is very good. The decor is weird but that's part of the charm. Our server was fine,…read moreno-nonsense, but kind and attentive. Is it a bar? A lounge? A restaurant? Who knows? And who cares? Any way you slice it, it's a nice night out in Bay Ridge.

On a random Tuesday me and a couple of ppl stop by here. Well it wasn't that random…read moreIt was my friends birthday. We heard that the hookah and drinks were pretty good, so we decided to cross that bridge and see what's up. ( staten islanders always have to cross a bridge lol) When we got there the host was very welcoming ... like he actually likes his job. The atmosphere gave a very chill elegant but lay back vibe. We order an espresso martini with cognac ( that's my go to ) it was a 7.5 We got the love 66 with a splash of mint and the hookah was busting I give it a 8.5. But all in all it was a good time but also a little price. But they'd did give us conplementary shot for being the only ppl there on a Tuesday I guess lol

Super welcoming vibe. 10/10 would bring my besties again!

When we started ordering the food they didn't have fish for tacos they didn't have steak for tacos and no pork I believe as well . She said the mozzarella sticks were really good . Then they come a they are just plain simple out the bag ones with sprinkled dry parley on top. We asked for sprite they were out of sprite as well and this place got the damage audacity to apply an automatic 18 percent gratuity when she would have been lucky to get 5 bucks that service and lack of viability on a menu that had like 8 items on it as is !!' And the tacos as you can see in the picture the zero effort of pre shredded cheese , and smallest tacos shells ever 3 for 18$ not worth at all Won't come back for sure .

Very clean restroom, nice decor. Great for after work, groups, date night, or even a girls night. Great happy hour pricing guaranteed to get you lit. I highly recommend.

5-Stars! Came here…read morefor Easter Sunday. This was my second visit this year and they are always so gracious, and welcoming, Sal who is one of the owner always greets us and remembers our visits and special requests. The restaurant is beautiful, looks as new as the day it opened. All of the staff are well trained and you feel like you are being taken care of like a Michelin Star restaurant. Our waiter Artale was very nice, patient and did not rush us. We had as appetizers the Green Apple Fennel Salad, corn scallops and the King Prawns. All were excellent and colorful. For entrees we had the Deconstructed Beef Wellington, Miso Glazed and sesame crusted Halibut, with a side of Truffle Cauliflower Mash Potatoes. For desert we had the Peanut Butter Cup and the Apple Cider Zeppoli. Everything was presented well, tasted great and had the perfect temperature. I would highly recommend Terina for a great experience. I will be back again.

From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, showcasing exactly how a restaurant should treat its guests. The staff, culinary team, bartenders, and servers (Luis) all contributed to an outstanding dining experience that we'll cherish. The ambiance was vibrant yet cozy, perfect for a celebratory gathering. Toward the end of our meal, the owner came over to check on us, which added a personal touch that made the evening even more special. He even joined us for a celebratory shot, toasting to our family milestones. We kicked off our evening with a round of expertly crafted cocktails: *French 75 *Maple Old Fashioned *Terina Basil *Testa Rossa (mock-tail) We started our culinary adventure with a few appetizers that set the bar high. *Grilled Baby Lamb Chops *Calamari Fritti *Burrata with Pistachio (show stopper) Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, our entrees arrived: *Braised Short Ribs *Glazed Halibut *Surf and Turf (chef made a special plate) We saved room for dessert, and I'm so glad we did. Each sweet ending was a heavenly experience: *Amarena Cherry Cheesecake *Apple Cider Zeppoles *Chocolate Mousse Every course left the table empty, a testament to how delicious everything was. Our experience at Terina was one of those rare occasions where everything from the food to the service was impeccable. Terina is an absolute must-visit.

The decor is over the top in the best way. Trains running around the ceiling, lights, signs, decorations hanging everywhere. Classic old school tavern feels all the way. The menu is full of classic bar food with great prices. They do use English muffin buns for the burgers which actually works, easy to get to the beef patty. I liked the char on the burger, gave it that smoky grilled bite that hits, but I asked for medium rare and got medium well, so the temperature was overdone, made it a bit dry and less flavorful than I wanted. The cheese slice was thin too, could've used more punch, but flavors still hit. Service was nice and attentive, but kitchen can be slow, so don't come in waiting super hangry.

Absolutely 5 stars without hesitation ! I fell in love with this place the first time we visited…read morewith my mom while she was in town last year. The atmosphere is amazing -- such an amazing vibe, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. The staff is super friendly, professional, and always makes you feel at home. Everything is incredibly delicious, fresh, and clean. My personal favorites are the obvious winners: chicken wings, paella, ceviche, guacamole, tuna aguachile, chicken chuzo, and so much more... My son asks to go there at least once a week just for his favorite chicken chuzo with French fries! It's also super kid-friendly, which makes the experience even better. If you still haven't tried this place, you're seriously missing out

It is time for an Ecuadorian lesson.. shall we? Let's break it down:…read moreDefinition: "Chuzo is a brochette or skewer of marinated, grilled meat with bold seasonings, classic sides, and the unmistakable flavor of Colombian street food." "Bar" well we all know what that means, "vamos, vamos, vamos!" Since my first visit last year, I was hungry for more deliciousness and decided to go with Yelpie friend, Sharon for brunch. Bar Chuzo has the restaurant and bar attachment which is where we dined. I happen to like the bar room for dining, it's charming and quieter for a Sunday brunch. Bar Chuzo offers really nice Brunch selections from ceviche, salchipapas, tuna, steak and apps from delicious fries, calamari, crab, plantain chips, croquettes and so much more. Here's what we ordered: Apps- Plantain chips( dinamita !) with a side of salsa verde. Yuca Croquettes with Yuca, Chihuahua cheese, and uchucuta sauce( green herb chile sauce with nuts) Dinamita number two! Two different brunch menus, Menu 1 offers apps, sides, entrees, cocktails and desserts. Menu 2: Bottomless Brunch for 90 minutes choice of Margaritas for $35 or Mimosas for $30. Mains: Crab cake Benedict consists of sunny side up egg, crab cake, potato cake, uchucuta hollandaise sauce, crostini and Chuzo salad. Sharon enjoyed it very much.Dinamita number three. Chicken Chuzo: Brasa marinated chicken skewers, Andes Ecuadorian corn, yuca croquettes. There are two skewers with three pieces of chicken on each, scrumptious, loved the taste of the chicken, the croquettes ( yuca again) nice accompaniment and the corn was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! Dinamita number four. Cocktail: Mango peach sangria hit the spot! Service: Gabriella is a great, professional and accommodating server. Absolutely wonderful and knows her stuff! Dinamita number five. There are delicious desserts as well but too full. The portions are generous and this meal for me was lunch/dinner. The vibe here is chill with Latin music seeping into your veins. 'Mis felicitaciones al personal!' ( my compliments to the staff).

Strong, so many flavors, and you can smoke for hours and the flavor is still there. Not only is the hookah amazing but the service is outstanding. The owner is a sweetheart and makes sure the customer is 100% satisfied not only with the hookah but the environment. He gives his general opinion and doesn't want to take advantage of people. He literally told us not to waste money and to get the ice hose because the regular hose has ice in it. The people that smoke there are so sweet and yes, you will get carded so have a form of ID with your date of birth. The Moroccan tea is very good, and to smoke pomegranate mixed with anything is not going to disappoint. If you don't want to spend the five dollars on the ice hose there regular hookahs have a little ice cooler inside that makes the smoke come out cold. If you want it cold the whole time your there get the large ice and pay the five dollars. The guys are always coming around changing the coal. You can stay there as long as you want and you are not feeling rushed to leave. I always get hookah special on the fruit but this time I got regular and I LOVED it! This place is a must come to smoke hookah. The owner is an amazing cook too, cant wait to come back and try his Yemen style food! Highly recommend coming here. We ordered to regular hookahs, 1 Morocco tea, two waters, and a gingerale. It came out to 31 dollars. So with tip $40 well spent.

Came in as a party of two on a rainy Sunday for their brunch menu and was quickly seated and served.

Definitely has a pub/sports bar vibe with bar seating and multiple screens broadcasting pretty much all the sunday NFL games. But they also had ample seating for larger parties and families and it definitely seems like a place that locals visit often.
