    Outstanding service; Better food. Fun atmosphere, Aesthetically charming. Just make your reservation! You will not be disappointed. :)

    We were staying at a hotel in town and decided to try this place for dinner. The restaurant was about half full so service was good from our waitress. The decor and ambiance are very cute. The menu has appetizers, salads, burgers and entrees. I opted for the beet salad. It came with beets, arugula, red onions, guacamole, and tomatoes. It had a grape vinaigrette dressing, but not nearly enough of it. My husband had the Caesar salad with grilled shrimp added. He really like it.

    The ambiance is great! The service is great! The Jarabe de palo margarita is really smooth and refreshing.

    Came here for some drinks and appetizers. I had an espresso martini that was strong but very delicious and naked wings with Buffalo and bbq sauce on the side. The wings were very tasty and sauces were excellent. We also ordered a fried calamari which was very good as well. The prices are a bit elevated; drinks ranging from $18-$20 per drink and the appetizers $16-$25. Our server was very friendly and attentive to us which was lovely. Their decor is very nice; rustic but with an upscale vibe. I did see that they have happy hours for apps and drinks so I will be retuning to take advantage of this deal.

    The Only food we liked were the lamb chop and the chocolate cake. We just thought that their steak is good like what we saw in other reviews but it's not, fries is too salty, the salad is plain, the service is not good. The ambiance tbh is classy and elegant, you really feel comfortable but the service is poor. I feel like it's not worth it for 200 $. I will definitely not coming back to this place And will not recommend it. Sorry

    I didn't eat any food while I was here because they didn't have soup. Which was kind of understandable - it is a hot summer day. My waitress Cristina was really nice and personable. I accidentally came for happy hour so I had two sangrias and enjoyed them both. I hope to return again

    Bacon Gruyere Burger

    Came on a Friday night with a group of friends and it wasn't extremely busy, so we were seated immediately. When you walk in, you gotta appreciate their decor because it all looked pretty cool. To start, we all ordered some cocktails, which were all tasty and not too strong. For appetizers, we ordered calamari, brussel sprouts, and mac & cheese. The brussel sprouts were roasted to perfect crispiness and I liked that they added little bits of bacon. The mac & cheese was delicious and cheesy. The calamari was good, but I wouldn't say it was amazingly special. For entrees, we got seafood orzo, their burger, and lamb rib chops. All of the entrees had a lot of flavor and they all tasted great, but the portions were pretty small for the price. Overall, I think this spot is perfect for a casual dinner, but be prepared for a higher price for the bill.

    I came here for a nightcap with my wife and her friend after dinner. I have been to many bars in NYC before, but this place caught my attention. Immediately I was intrigued by the theme of this place. Starting from when I first entered through the front door, I was I'm attracted to the big gold and red sign with a giant cow's head. I knew then it was going to be an interesting experience. We proceeded to the bar as usual and were greeted by a very nice bartender. We ordered a few cocktails and started to take all on about this place. It's a clean and modern-looking bar. I especially loved that giant painting of a cow on the back bar wall. It kind of set the whole place up. The cocktails they make here are specially prepared at the house so it took a little time to get drinks. But the wait in my opinion is well worth it. My overall impression is that the place is cool. The drinks were delicious and the staff is nice and friendly Daly. It's a nice place to hang out with Fri das.

    The Lazy Cow is a great spot for a casual meal. My friends and I came on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. There were several tables inside and a full bar as well but they weren't too busy the entire time we were there. The decor inside is unique and it's low light but pretty loud inside so we had to raise our voices to have a conversation. The menu isn't too extensive but has enough for a meal. The items were a bit on the pricey end but the food was yummy. We ordered several food items along with our drinks: mac & cheese, crispy calamari, lamb rib chops, seafood orzo, roasted brussel sprouts, bacon gruyere burger. No complaints for any of the food, which tasted great. Great place to chill with fairly quick service. Food is on the pricey end but tastes good, nothing special though.

    Ash and TJ are the best! My wife and I went to the Lazy Cow because we saw it on Bell Blvd and always wanted to check it out. Wow! Delicious and well crafted drinks with super attentive service. The ambiance is unmatched, this is the best place on Bell blvd.

    Tavern eats with a steak house vibe and menu. This place boasts a full and long counter seating bar as well as a spacious dining area; larger groups are welcome. Saw the sign that the outdoor patio is open! (June 2022). I didn't check it out since it was a Saturday night and my kids were with me. Didn't want to kill the vibe. We were seated inside by the wall of music artists and iconic photos. It was so interesting for both my kids and I, to see the photos of another time. Musicians they've heard of for the most part and the history behind some of these icons. As we waited for our food, that was the topic of the night. Appetizers rocked! We had the roasted bone marrow with the caramelized onions and toast to start. Only comment, when digging out the marrow, there was so much grease/very oily. Like leaking off the plate. Made quite a mess on the table. Just know it's a messy dish. Then we had the burrata with apricot and prosciutto to follow. Very balanced dish and the apricots were beautifully presented. We enjoyed both very much. (Do note: the menu changes seasonally from what I understand so do not be surprised that half of the photos you see on Yelp, these items are no longer there). For ex: we wanted the meatballs but that was not on the menu at all. Entrees: the Mac and cheese with four cheeses was good. This was really a savory dish. A fellow cheese fan will agree, it's a lovely match of flavors. The bacon bits were a great touch to complete this dish. Another stand out entree was the lamb rib chops. Paired with feta and pita, as well as hummus and grilled broccolini. I've never had this kind of a pairing before but it worked. Lamb chops were beautifully cooked (although we were not asked how we preferred it). And I had the bacon gruyere burger with deluxe fries. (Extra $) These deluxe fries were excellent - gravy and melted cheese. Sinfully delicious. I'm glad I ordered it that way. The burger at first look didn't look impressive just kind of regular. It was however, very delicious and while the waiter did ask how I wanted it cooked; it didn't come out as such (it was medium and not medium rare). I didn't comment since I just wanted to eat. And it tasted fine at any rate. Note: soda and water are the only non-alcoholic drinks here it seems (maybe one or two juice options) but no iced tea. I ended up ordering a cocktail to start. I very much enjoyed my "je ne sais quoi". The lemon and lime flavors complimented the oregano and pineapple infused 1800 reposado. I saw the bar churn out some serious drinks. Didn't see my waiter much after I ordered. But we were well attended by someone else in regards to grabbing our plates and bringing out our food. I should mention there were three dessert options but no one could eat anymore. One kiddo ordered the vanilla bean ice cream, one scoop so they accommodated us on that. Overall good eats here!

    The food that was available was good. The menu however has changed. The reason we came to this place was because of what we saw on the menu posted online- the actual menu was down sized and the options were extremely limited- the service was great the server was very attentive- however there was a miscommunication- as I have dietary restrictions- I requested certain items removed. When my food did arrive most of the toppings were removed- I did not mention it. The ambiance is nice, great for date night if you are not interested in eating- extremely expensive for the amount of food. Small portions. Will not return.

    They don't have an extensive wine list but I love their Rośe. This place is more focused on creating cocktails than wine honestly.

The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable.

We ordered a few things off the tapas menu. The popcorn chicken, the octopus, uni and foie gras, short ribs, and beef tacos. The short ribs leaned a bit dry, but everything else was on point.

One set included the meatballs to start, followed by the chicken Parmesan and bomboloni for dessert. The other included a Caesar salad, tagliatelle Bolognese, and tiramisu. There was a bit of a longer-than-expected gap between the appetizer and the entrée, especially considering we were essentially the only table being served, as the other guests had already finished their meal. That was a little frustrating. Aside from that, most of the food was solid. The only real disappointment was the chicken Parmesan, which was quite overcooked. It was unfortunate given that the kitchen was only cooking for the two of us. That said, the mashed potatoes, an unusual pairing with chicken Parmesan were excellent: perfectly creamy and incredibly smooth. The tiramisu was also quite good, but the real standout was the bomboloni. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed them, since fried doughnuts wouldn't normally be my first choice for dessert. I would definitely return.

Our server was flexible when we asked to swap the potato chips for fries on the kids' grilled cheese meal, which we appreciated. However, we were then charged $1.40 for a side of ranch for the fries. I understand they have a range of specialty sauces and dips that are clearly priced on the menu, but that still felt steep for ranch. They also offer a combo option to add fries for $5, but the portion doesn't really feel aligned with the price. The steak sandwich itself was surprisingly tender, even though it looked like it might be tough. That said, I couldn't taste the roasted red pepper sauce, and the "sweet onion jam" turned out to just be caramelized onions. My mother actually ended up picking them out because she doesn't eat onions. (she won't eat onions that she can see) The buffalo cauliflower was tasty, but could have been crispier. The "serves two" description also felt a bit generous given the small portion. I also ordered a brisket sandwich to go with fries. The coleslaw sounded great on the menu, but in reality the flavors didn't stand out, no real hint of jalapeño, just a fairly standard slaw. Overall, the food descriptions felt more impressive than the actual execution, though the to-go fries portion was more generous, which was a nice surprise. Would I go back? I'm not sure. Maybe for a casual visit with a few beers and fries with an assortment of dipping sauces...I am a sucker for those.
