    Chicken Sizzling Skillet Fajitas

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Calming ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Quick service. Tasty food. A great restaurant for a casual dinner date. Lovely! Looking forward to enjoying again.

    Nachitos / Sangarita
    J W.

    Santa Fe is worth the trip! I went as a solo diner on clusterf Macy Balloon Inflation Day, and the staff got me in quickly to a great seat, watered and fed, and on my way when I was comfortably ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The capacity is much bigger than it looks and even saw a table for 5 seated right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But just because I dined solo, I wasn't shoved to the bar or anything, I had an excellent experience. The nachitos were perfect to share, a sangarito (sp?) is their OG marg with sangria splashed on top. Prices absolutely comparable for the area, it's comfy, convenient, and chill.

    Enchiladas
    Roslyn H.

    Had a TooGoodToGo bag that came with the $25 dinner dish Enchiladas. The food was still warm when I picked it up. The owner was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely come back as a regular customer.

    Chipotle Chicken

    This is a nice spot for TexMex. My friend recommended this spot because he orders them often on TooGoodToGo, and he's never had a bad meal. I came here with a large group after Global Citizen Festival. They offered complementary chips and salsa. Half the table ordered the chipotle chicken, which came with a salad and rice and beans. The chicken was a bit dry, so the sauce complimented it well. It was a god dining experience and I'd be back again, should I end up in the area and need a familiar place to eat.

    Breakfast Tacos, Breakfast Burrito, and Mango + Strawberry Mimosas
    Stephen L.

    Having visited actual Santa Fe, NM last year, I can safely say that this restaurant lives up to the high standards and value of authentic New Mexican cuisine. I ordered the Breakfast Tacos ($22), which had delicious cheesy scrambled eggs, crispy turkey chorizo, refreshing sliced avocado, and pico de gallo. I also tried the Breakfast Burrito ($21), which actually had similar ingredients to the tacos except obviously in burrito form (the burrito had potatoes instead of chorizo). While both of these dishes were fairly standard, they were done very well. On top of this, the restaurant offers a great brunch deal, where if you order a brunch entree such as these, you can get a free cocktail. I tried the mango and strawberry mimosas - they were pretty strong and could've used some more fruity flavor, but hey they were free so still great value! Other places in NYC might ask you to pay upwards of $15 for these drinks alone. They also gave us complimentary chips and salsa to start our meal. The restaurant itself is very nice - the interior has a classy intimate feel with slightly dimmed lighting. There is also a nice covered outdoor seating area with several tables, which is where we sat. There were still plenty of tables available for a weekend brunch when we got there. The staff are friendly and the service speed was quick. Overall, with this great brunch deal / value and delicious Southwestern food, I definitely think this is an underrated restaurant that deserves better ratings. Definitely give it a try when you're in the area!

    Forgettable food, good service, great location. I've only been here three times but I think it's enough to go ahead and review it on three visits. Honestly it's hard to remember the next day what you had to eat here but that's ok. It was easy to get to and meet up with people and really that is this restaurants strength. Perhaps it's only strength. Also if you request a booth on your reservation don't actually expect to sit in one for your visit (which is what happened to us). Also the shallow ashtray like salsa saucers are really designed to lick the salsa out of if you're a cat but not really humanly to dip chips in. That's ok too since the salsa is pretty forgettable. The service is prompt and courteous till they decide you've spent enough time at your table and then they'd courteously inform you that it's time to seat others (happened to us as well). The flan and the crema that comes with the flan are really the best menu items. Smooth and not too sweet. The chipotle chicken is two torpedoes of somewhat dry grilled chicken wrapped in flour tortillas and drenched in chipotle sauce Not bad but it's hard to taste the chicken or anything else smothered in sauce. The chicken enchiladas are a good quick brain dead choice if you're pressed for time or confused by their many options

    Breakfast Tacos

    I went here with friends for brunch after to celebrate our two friends eloping by the Hudson River. Inside the restaurant was not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to accommodate our party of six in the back. For brunch, you get to have a boozy drink with your meal as long as you order an entree. For the drink I asked for a frozen margarita since it was a very humid day. The frozen margarita was super refreshing while we munched on chips and awaited for the main course. The staff also made sure we had full glasses of water during our time there. For the entree I got the breakfast tacos which was just enough not to make you feel too full. The crispy turkey chorizo in the breakfast taco went well with the fresh avocado, greens and chipotle crema. At the end we all decided to try and share the churros and chocolate cake. The sauces that came with the crispy warm churros were a chocolate sauce and a dulce de leche. I preferred the caramel sauce with the churros. Overall we all enjoyed our time here and had great service from the staff. We look forward to returning one day.

I came here to throw down on some seafood and that's exactly what we did. I found out about this place because one of my favorite TikTok foodies posted that she came here when she was visiting from Chicago. It was also my friend's birthday so we figured we'd check it out. If you come with a group of 4 or more, including the birthday person, they eat for free, which is a pretty nice perk. This place lived up to every bit of the hype. We did the $125 option which includes lobster. If you have people in your group who are on the fence about spending the extra money, just remind them it's only about $35 more and that's basically the cost of one lobster anywhere else. Here you're getting unlimited lobster. The food literally just kept coming. At one point we were running out of room on the table. One thing I really appreciated was that the staff noticed and started putting multiple items on the same plates instead of bringing everything out separately. It sounds small but it actually helped a lot and showed they were paying attention. The drinks weren't super strong but they definitely weren't weak either. If you love seafood, come hungry and bring a group. The vibes were great, the service was on point, and we left absolutely stuffed.

It's honestly a seafood lover's dream. I highly recommend coming with a large group so you can try a bit of everything. They also offer an option to pay an extra $45 to take your leftovers home, which is absolutely worth it. I ended up with so much food that my fridge is still full. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place to others.

    Fish Cheeks in NoHo is my go-to destination for high-end, innovative Thai food in New York City…read more The restaurant takes a decidedly contemporary approach to Thai cuisine, with a menu that highlights bold regional flavors rather than the familiar, standardized dishes found at many American Thai restaurants. The happy hour menu is excellent, and the cocktail program is equally creative. On my most recent visit, I tried the Nam Gin Martini--unusual, beautifully balanced, and delicious. If you're dining solo, I recommend sitting at the bar, where the talented bartenders are happy to offer excellent mixology advice. There are several dishes I especially recommend. The Zabb Wings are crispy fried chicken wings tossed in a spicy, tangy dry rub of toasted rice powder, chili, lime, and mint. They're intensely flavorful and highly addictive. The Steamed Whole Fish is another standout: a whole branzino swimming in a vibrant, intensely aromatic broth of fresh chili, lime, mint, garlic, and culantro. The pork belly with chili and garlic is another dish worth ordering if you're looking for something rich, spicy, and deeply savory. Fish Cheeks was founded in 2016 by Thai immigrants--brothers Chef Ohm and Chat Suansilphong, along with Jenn Saesue and Pranwalai Kittirattanawiwat. The restaurant was born from their frustration with the homogenized "one-page" menus that dominated American Thai dining, which often centered on sweeter, standardized dishes such as Pad Thai and Massaman curry. Even the name reflects the restaurant's philosophy. The fish cheek is considered one of the most tender, flavorful, and prized parts of the fish in many Asian culinary traditions. When Fish Cheeks opened at 55 Bond Street, the team famously adopted a strict "no Pad Thai" policy, encouraging diners to explore regional Thai specialties and seafood dishes such as crab curries and whole steamed fish. It was a bold gamble that paid off, earning critical acclaim, including recognition from The New York Times. In 2022, Executive Chef Dustin Everett, formerly of Momofuku Ssam Bar and Pig & Khao, took over the kitchen, introducing seasonal dishes while preserving many of the restaurant's signature favorites. The experience extends beyond the food. Fish Cheeks plays contemporary Thai pop music, giving the restaurant a lively, distinctly modern atmosphere. It feels energetic without losing its connection to Thai culture. One important thing to know: this is not the restaurant for you if you're looking for Pad Thai. Fish Cheeks is about pushing beyond the familiar and discovering the bold, complex flavors of Thai regional cooking. The restaurant is popular, especially during peak dining hours, so reservations are highly recommended. Sitting at the bar for a cocktail and a few dishes or settling in for a full meal with friends, I always find Fish Cheeks to be one of my favorite places in NoHo for adventurous, sophisticated Thai food.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

I ordered the Fried Branzino, which came on a sizzling cast iron platter. The server poured warm sweet and sour sauce all over it. This also came with a side of fries. The Fried Branzino was the whole fish and impressive looking. The Branzino was satisfyingly crispy, tender, flaky, and well seasoned. The sauce was nicely balanced and full of bold flavor. Fries were tasty, perfectly crunchy, and addicting. Service was wonderful throughout. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything came out in a timely manner. I'm glad I had a chance to experience this fancy restaurant.

I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food continues to keep me coming back. During this visit, I ran into a recurring issue with my lobster. It was carrying a large amount of roe, which I was actually happy about because I enjoy it and didn't want any of it to go to waste. However, the roe deep inside wasn't fully cooked during the initial steaming process. I had to go back and forth with Ash and the kitchen staff several times, but they remained patient, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was cooked properly. Ash, one of the managers, provided excellent customer service throughout the experience. While I was waiting, he kindly offered me a complimentary cup of New England clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated since I was starving. Before leaving, I also ordered two more 2 lb. steamed lobsters to go. I explained my concern, and the staff made sure they were thoroughly cooked before packaging them. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I truly appreciate the team's dedication to customer satisfaction and their willingness to make things right.
