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

**Red Oak** - Come as friends, leave as smoky legends!…read more Hookah? Super smooth & fun flavors (fruit ones are the MVP). Add a little vodka twist if you're feeling fancy. Food's actually tasty - wings, burgers, falafel all hit the spot. Couches are cozy, music's chill, red lights make everything cute. Open till 2am - perfect for late-night laughs with the crew. Super welcoming vibe. 10/10 would bring my besties again!

So the upgrade from what this place looked like before was huge. It had dirty seats and pillow…read moretables vobbled. Now the seats are nice , clean the place doesn't look as tacky . And then the waitress comes I asked for cranberry juice and quickly changed it to pineapple juice . She came back with cranberry , we asked for water she brought o e not two for the both of us , we asked for small plates for our food which just came and she brought to go containers instead . 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 .

Looking for a nice spot with good vibes and good food vice lounge is where it's at. After being…read moreclosed for a short while they have finally reopened and they didn't disappoint. Service here is friendly and welcoming. The ambiance and very modern and chic. The drinks are bomb and the food was fresh and seasoned well. The plain fried wings were nice and crispy and I got my sauces on the side for alil kick. The hookah was also good... blueberry mint is my go to flavor. The dj was definitely spinning some tunes. 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.

The stuffed zucchini flowers were by far the best I have ever had- including in Italy, itself, the pasta dishes and deconstructed Beef Wellington are to die for.

Upon entering, you walk through the bar to the dining area in the back. The place was flooded with…read moreBay Ridge locals, you can tell right away this is a real neighborhood spot. 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.

I've been to this restaurant multiple times, but unfortunately my most recent visit was enough to…read moremake me reconsider coming back. The service has declined significantly. It took about 30 minutes just to receive our hookah, and nearly 20 minutes before anyone even came over to ask for our food order. We spent far too much time waiting with very little communication from the staff. I also noticed that an 18% gratuity is now automatically added to the bill. Once I realized that, I stopped leaving an additional tip like I had in the past. Since then, the level of service I've received seems to have changed noticeably, which is disappointing because gratuity should never affect how customers are treated. To make matters worse, the atmosphere no longer feels welcoming. The owner appeared visibly unhappy and unappreciative of customers, and several employees were talking about people as they walked by, which created an uncomfortable environment. I used to enjoy coming here, but between the slow service, the change in attitude, and the overall lack of professionalism, I can't recommend this place based on my recent experience. I hope they take customer feedback seriously and make improvements.

The food here is absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a happy hour that's actually worth it,…read morethis is the place. We ordered the wings, oysters, and the paella. Everything was excellent, but the paella was the star of the meal my wife couldn't put her fork down. The drinks were cold, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the food. The only downside was the service at the front. The host seemed a little unfriendly, which wasn't the best first impression. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, was very welcoming, and seated us in the back, which ended up being the perfect spot for a quick bite and a couple of drinks. Overall, the food and drinks definitely outweigh the small hiccup at the beginning. We'll definitely be back for happy hour again.

My family and I came on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and were seated with no wait (the…read morehost let us know there was a 9pm reservation on our table, giving us 2 hours to dine.) For 3 people we ordered: the calamari, a lobster roll, a potato side dish, a small vegan paella and a chuzo salad. The food was good but not great - the calamari was nothing special, the lobster roll was a little over salted with the fries not fried enough, the potato dish had texture and the toppings on it had spice + acid, the salad was simple but refreshing, and the finally the vegan paella was well seasoned, strong tomato flavor in the rice and the vegetables were nicely charred. The ambiance of the restaurant felt summery, it was a little humid with a slight wind that evening and they had all doors open allowing the breeze to flow through their space beautifully. The biggest let down was their service. For a weeknight at prime dinner hour and not a very crowded night, it took an hour for our food to come out from the kitchen. I noticed another party, who arrived after us, was served their food prior to us. I wished our waiter updated us on the food without my having to ask first.

My friend and I stepped outside of our normal hookah lounge that we usually go to in bay ridge and…read moredecided to come to Bay Ridge Cafe. There hookah is on point. 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.
