Very Chill Vibes…read more The coupe is one of the only places in Staten Island you can go to get real cocktails after hours. They have great mixologist that actually take pride in their work. I got a Sazerac with cognac, I usually get that but this time they didn't have Pierre Ferran for they only had Ansac. I personally don't care for Ansac so I believe it totally changed the taste of the drink. The bartender could tell. I didn't like it and he asked me about four times " Are you sure I change it? It doesn't matter." I'm like if you're gonna ask me that many times then let's change it. So I got a sidecar and that was fire.

The bartender made a special drink for my friend since she was unsure of what she wanted so we told the bartender to make her something special. The ricotta and honey spread was fantastic I absolutely loved it. The staff was nice. The ambiance was beautiful and quiet but still lively with music in the background loud enough to hear but not overpowering. Very nice place. Almost want to gatekeep so it doesnt become too crowded but I really do think it's only fair to give them their flowers and a very nice review! 8/10 recommend.

It is a locals working class bar, plenty of beer and whiskey. There is a restaurant/take out joint next door that you are welcome to enjoy there.

I was so happy hahah. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a restaurant for more than just their food. We came here for my boyfriend's parent's anniversary and the server's were wonderful and honestly very thoughtful as well! They were very attentive to our table and refilled our waters often. I also say this because when my bf's parents ordered the halibut to split, they had brought out their meal in two individual plates that were beautifully plated, you would think they ordered separately! They also took our group picture! :) We ordered 2 orders of the Basement Snacks: For Two, 2 orders of their raw oysters for appetizers. For my entree I ordered the Shrimp Carbonara Rossa with a side of Asparagus. Everything was so good. Their buffalo wings were perfectly marinated and not too saucy, their ribs were so tender and the meat fell straight off the bone! My carbonara was also delicious. For dessert they even gave an anniversary treat which was so sweet. I ordered a Chocolate Cappuccino which was also great. 11/10! Wonderful and would recommend.

I have had great experiences dining in and also sitting outside. The service is good. The staff have always been knowledgeable of the menu and friendly. It's pricey but worth it if you ask me :)

We came in for Mother's Day with a party of 8 with reservations; we arrived a little early and were…read moresat upstairs almost immediately. It took about 10 minutes for our waiter to come over with water and chips, but did not return for another 20 minutes to take our drink order. When my mother in law paused to remind herself of which appetizers to order, he decided to leave and not return to take the order until he came back with our drinks; I had ordered a frozen margarita which by the time it had reached our table was watered down. We asked our waiter multiple times for more water and chips, but took exceptionally long to arrive. Our appetizers arrived with our meal, and one appetizer came out while our meals were already being eaten which I find to be a little ridiculous. I had asked for my burger without a bun but received my order with a bun; any specification for our meals were either ignored or forgotten. Our waiter announced that the kitchen was cooking items "in order" due to Mother's Day and them being busy, however only one other table was sat after us and all other tables were empty. We also noticed that the more we reminded our server of our requests or forgotten items he became more flustered (e.g. slamming drinks down and only giving one napkin when we asked for more). It took our food over an hour to arrive and we were there for over two hours which would have been okay if the service was better, the food was just okay but filling and offering a succulent for mothers was a nice touch.

We started with drinks and some lite breakfast fare all of which tasted good. I went with the crab cake eggs Benedict with wasabi hollandaise sauce which was full of flavor. The crab cake itself tasted as if it just came out of the sea. Incredibly fresh. I also got to try their French toast entree too. What looked like 2 slabs of brioche made into French toast with a berry topping and maple syrup was also just as good. 10/10. The service here was very polite and attentive to all of our needs throughout our visit. I would definitely like to come here again. Eat here!

I have been eagerly waiting to dine at this fabulous restaurant for almost a year, let me tell you,…read moreit was worth the wait! I received a call to confirm our reservation, inquiry about food allergies, confirm our celebration and express they are looking forward to welcoming us, this set the tone! The decor is industrial, elegant and aquatic (the mermaids sculpture on the wall is gorgeous). The furniture is contemporary and beautiful. Very nice aesthetic. .The door man Keith was very warm and welcoming Our server was Santiago, he was knowledgeable about the menu, so professional and personable. The other staff members were also very nice. The manager stopped by to check on us. Now the food! Let's start with the offering of fresh sliced fruit for our sparkling water! Cucumber, lime, lemon, orange and strawberry. Do cool! For the appetizer we had the pork belly bao buns, lamb chops and fried calamari. For the entree we ordered the Chilean sea bass, the Salmon and Halibut, all were prepared perfectly. For the cocktails we had the Smokey blue sky and the blackberry flutterby delicious! Finally for dessert we had the warm chocolate cake, the pistachio cannoli and strawberry mandarin almond cake. Everything was fantastic.

I was asked 3x if I wanted flavored syrup. I politely said no. Not something I've never been asked before when ordering a cappuccino. The empanadas had this giant red name stamps on them. I wanted to order one but was not sure about the big red labeling. Turned me off to them. I ordered a ham/cheese croissant to go with the coffee. The croissant was super sweet and was a bold contrast to the ham/cheese combination. I really did not expect that. The staff wasn't rude but they weren't friendly either lol they were kinda just there. The space is super super tiny. It was myself an one other person but if she were to have stood up or someone came in we'd be on top of each other I was a bit confused on where to find the menu at first. They had a chalkboard with items on it for basic stuff . The cost was decent . Overall spent $8 The food and coffee was ok to me. Can't say I was impressed This cafe wasn't really for me and nothing stood out about it . Maybe others will have a different experience than I had but I will not be returning .
