    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!!

    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.

It's a trendy spot with a clean modern feel and when you walk in you can sit anywhere super relaxed super welcoming. The staff was very nice from the jump and our waitress was attentive the whole time without ever feeling overbearing. The place is spotless. Bathrooms clean dining area clean everything looking fresh. You can tell they take pride in keeping the space tight. Food came out in about 10 minutes hot and flavorful. I went with two other people and all three of us were impressed. Every dish was tasty very well seasoned, and very well put together. It's the kind of meal where you pause mid bite because the flavor hits right. Hot, fresh, and satisfying after a run. We enjoyed the food we enjoyed the vibe and we enjoyed how attentive the service was. Just a smooth, enjoyable experience from start to finish. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

They are the best wings I've ever had in Riverdale, Inwood or Washington Heights. I can't quite figure out why other places always seem to be missing something when it comes to how they make their wing--but not Blackstone! I ordered the wings to go and while waiting, I had their Blackstone tap beer which will be the only beer I will drink there because it was surprisingly good--and I'm usually not one for tap beer. No longer Heineken, Corona, Amstel, etc.--I'll go with this delightful beer. The staff is ALWAYS very engaging and professional. I will be going there a lot more!

    Wow! The dishes were delicious and innovative! Our server, Daniel, was spot on with his…read morerecommendations - we enjoyed our cocktail (La Guelaguetza) and sharing the generous portions of Esquites (corn), Tlayuda (large tostada), and Enmoladas de pato (duck confit). 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!!!

Once inside, I saw…read morethe Michelin sign and slowly realized as I looked around the restaurant that this was not a casual Tex-Mex kind of place. 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.

The Happy Hour menu is what I came for along with the fact that it was Friday and my first full week of being back to work. I decided to come here after walking by and seeing their happy hour menu. The place is huge and beautiful inside. I included a small video in this review so you can have a better idea. They also offer outdoor dining, just a small area because the inside has plenty of space, even at the bar. I decided to get a classic mojito, buffalo chicken wings with sauce on the side, yucca fries with chimi sauce and my girlfriends ordered oysters, nachos, eggplant coquettes, also buffalo wings and beer along with a passionfruit and coconut mojitos. The drinks were good but not strong enough. I should have ordered some shots lol. The yucca fries were really good with the chimi sauce and my girlfriend enjoyed the oysters with all the toppings but thought they were really small. The eggplants and complementary dinner rolls were the stars of the night, they were delicious and I would ordered plenty on my next visit. As the night began to arrive they were setting up the stage for something like a musical act. The atmosphere began to change and the place became more intimate. A bit romantic and that was our que to leave. My overall experience was good, I had an evening and I will do another visit. I'm giving a thumb up! Happy Yelping!
