    Porn star martini- very sweet
    Jess L.

    I had high hopes for S&S, but it felt a little more sports bar-y than I was expecting. The bartenders seemed a bit aloof, and it was hard to get their attention. The cocktails weren't particularly innovative. My Porn Star was cute - definitely super sweet. Cash only. There's an ATM in the back.

    They use the local butchers Butchers fancy to source some if their meats ; and you can tell delicious; great staff owners there hasn't been one thing I've eaten here that I haven't liked. Their cocktails are nyc quality love coming here .

    One of our favorite go to spots in the neighborhood! We find ourselves here at least once a week. Whether it be for date night, or meeting a few friends for dinner and drinks. . The bartenders & servers are always a pleasure to talk to and very friendly. Food is delicious, there isn't an item that I did not enjoy! As for cocktails, they're always on point. Absolutely love the seasonal drinks when they're out!!

    perfect dirty martini and home cut fries were spot on. service was a little slow but place was busy so understandable

    Went here on a date and had a nice time. The music was nice, but random. One minute we're hearing Whitney Houston and ABBA and then all of a sudden Karol G comes on. I ain't mad. The decor was lovely with chandeliers and even a dragon fly door hook in the restroom. Beautiful mirrors and a fireplace. The menu had some nice variety. I had the carbonara which I thought was ok. Would've liked it to be a bit creamier. My date had the chicken sandwich. He had no complaints. I had a guava margarita which was ok and for dessert the tres leches. The tres leches was ok. It was dry which is a no no for tres leches. It should be super wet and creamy. Overall a nice bar with nice options. I would go again. Oh and they don't take card.

    Been coming here since they opened. We have never had a bad meal. The staff remembers you. The drinks are divine. We took my 82 year old grandpa in law there and even he said the pork chops were the best he has ever had.

    Overall great experience, especially during the pandemic. Great atmosphere. It is a little tight if you take into account the social distancing practices. I had the halloumi cheese fries for an appetizer and the steak frites. A go to when exploring for great steaks lol, but good taste. If you're ever in the Yonkers area and want to grab a drink and pretty good food. Swing by this place. I'd def go back. Cash only when I had went, so keep that in mind, there is an atm on site just a heads up!

    Delicious mushroom, mozz, caramelized onion burger on brioche bun.

    What a nice place for drinks and a meal. Very well decorated with many chandeliers and a big bar with lots of seating. The dining area is all hi top tables with several banquets on the wall. We were warmly greeted by the bartender who poured water for us without asking and gave us menu's. They had several cocktails of interest. I had the pumpkin espresso martini which was very good and not a bad price at $10. My daughter had a Guinness which was poured perfectly. We finished off with another specialty drink, a pear martini, equally good. Now to the food. OMG I had one of the best burgers of my life and I've lived a long life. I tasted the ground patty before I closed the bun and the meat was so tasty. The burger was topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms and mozzarella cheese served on a brioche bun. It was extremely delicious. The fries were crispy and abundant. My daughter had the mushroom ravioli's in a mushroom truffle sauce which she devoured without sharing. She said, "sorry Mom but it was really good." She wouldn't lie to her momma, so I know it was good. We finished our meals with a tiramisu. Having thoroughly enjoyed our meal and experience we can't wait to go back. We were both texting each other after how we would return with this friend or that family member! BTW, we found no problem with street parking. Meters in front of restaurant but across the street no meters so free parking.

The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

We called a head since it was 6 of us to see if we could do a walk in or if we needed a reservation , and both options are available which is a plus. Dress attire is your choice we dressed regular nothing fancy just day to day hang out style. We were greeted kindly by the staff sat down handed a set of dominoes to play with while we waited for our food and drank some water. The place is decorated nicely and you can see the vision in mind definitely. We placed our orders and I'm not gonna lie I came in thinking the food was gonna be eh but I was blown away by the flavors. For drinks we ordered a spicy sunset, pretty young thing and cokes. The spicy sunset is a nice strong drink and is rimmed nicely with just the right amount is tajin as you drink it; it has a nice smoky after taste to it definitely was delicious. The pretty young thing was a nice citrusy drink with a little salty aftertaste, which balanced out the flavor nicely. The cokes were not water down they were good as well. For food we ordered the Cuban sandwich with parmesan fries, butter chicken wings, butter chicken macaroni and cheese, steak nachos grande, butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and mom's butter chicken platter. This was a wonderful Spanish and Indian style combination of flavors. Definitely my first time having this type of food and wow what a mind blowing experience. Not one person in the table complained or had anything negative to say about their food. We all tried each other's food and each bite we exchanged to try was delicious and better than the last . The Cuban was delicious but the parmesan fries stole the show from that meal it was paired so lovely who would've thought those flavors would've mixed nicely. The buttery chicken wings oh my God dripping with goodness each bite was legit finger licking good lol. The butter chicken macaroni very very delicious. Had a nice cheese pull and a good balance could not stop eating it. The steak nachos were delicious I wish It had a little more meat, but it was not bad. The butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries also delicious and the fries were cooked so nicely that it was crispy and soft at the same time per bite. The mom's butter chicken platter was delicious they gave the right amount of sauce, the pita bread was delicious and soft, the salad that it was paired with was good too the rice was decently portioned. Everything was definitely tasty. Not one complaint of any of the meals. We did not wait long for the food. Bathrooms were nice and clean. I want to come back to try more things in the menu that's how good the food was and our group agreed to also come back with us. This spot is definitely a place to try. They have a beautiful quote right near the bar that really spoke to us, especially during these times it said "you are exactly where you need to be." It makes you stop for a second and really take it in and just live in the moment ... especially living in New York, where you have to be always go go go fast fast fast. This was really beautifully written thank you to the staff who made our night and our friend's birthday special we'll see you soon.

As a corn lover, the flavor note of Esquites just reminded me of elotes that you get from a street vendor in Mexico. The Tlayuda was huge! We added carne asada as our topping, and it turned into an huge entree that's shareable between two people. We finished our meal with the most flavor-intense dish - duck confit enmoladas. Despite not being a crazy mole fan, the mole sauce that was drizzled all over the enmoladas had a perfect balance of rich notes with a bit of bittersweet chocolate undertone. The ambiance was great with both indoor and outdoor seating. We were there to celebrate our anniversary, and the restaurant made it so special for us by providing a menu printed with "happy anniversary" with a note card and glasses of sparkling wine! This is a gem that's not to be missed!!!

By then the hostess had already seated us and I was immersed in the excellent service and the delicious aromas from the open kitchen. My husband lived in Mexico City for a time and he said this was some of the best Mexican food he'd had. The corn vermouth was delicious and I'd never heard of sotol so tried it in a paloma, which was great. Definitely will go back again, but only once my wallet has recovered.
