    Calamari appetizer.

    Ugh! Lower your expectations, then lower them some more & maybe you'll be prepared. First off, the place is runned down & doesn't seem to be very clean, as evidenced by uncleared tables, (on a slow night) trash strewn about the floors & a peek into the prep area while walking to my table showed that they're not very fussy. I visited the ladies room to find more trash & paper littered on the floor, two of the three stalls out of service, one of the two sinks out of service & only one of the two towel dispensers working. I managed to wash my hands & get a towel which I used to touch the doorknob to exit the bathroom. I noticed a sign asking customers to bring any concerns about the cleanliness of the bathroom to Ruby Tuesday staff!!! Ruby Tuesday went out of business at this location years ago but the new restaurant never changed the sign, or took care of the bathroom from the looks of things. Now for the food. We ordered a sampling of different foods to share, family style. The fried calamari appetizer was terrible! Looked like it came precooked & bagged from the frozen aisle at the supermarket. The seafood boil bag was a disappointment! I found many of the clams broken or dead (shells never opened during boiling). The supposed king crab legs were much smaller than I'm used to getting anywhere else. The only things worth eating in the boil bag were the corn on cob & potatoes. Very poor quality food for Market Prices! We tried a po boy for the first time. While I didn't care much for it, I had nothing to compare it to, as I've never had one before. Suffice it to say that I didn't care for it. The fried shrimp basket was tolerable, but calling it good would be a stretch. On the bright side, our waitress was friendly & prompt. I'm very suspicious of all the 5 Star ratings for this place. I didn't think anything could get any worse than Red Lobster, but this gives it a run for its money! This place is typical chain restaurant fare, not much different from your run of the mill TGIchillobees. Low quality food at high end prices and unkempt front of house & bathrooms. I can only imagine what back of house looks like. Save your money or go someplace else.

    Store closure notice

    Very delicious but they closed down to open an all u can eat sushi bar. Very disappointed

    The order placed was Hibachi-2meats & fried rice. What was received was white rice with soy sauce poured all over it. Poorly made.

    Nice Drinks

    Not great, but not terrible. The service is slow and the customer service isn't the most inviting. The lobster tail was magnficent.

    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.

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.

Parking is street parking. With all the snow, parking was more difficult I believe. The place isn't huge but the vibe was spot on. Our server was top tier. We sat down and both remarked we needed water. He already had it ready to leave at the table while he was taking care of another table. To drink I had The Hideaway and my friend had the Mimo-Spirtz. To eat I got the Cajun Shrimp and Cheesy Gritz. She got the Oreo waffle, a side of bacon and eggs. I also got the Fried Cinnamon Bun for dessert. I asked our server to surprise me with a drink. He gave me the Toasted Almond. The entire experience was just beautiful. We sat there for about 3 hours just chatting and they never rushed us out. I would definitely go back.

We devoured it. I mean a Ceasar salad itself is great, presentation, flavor, portion, taste were great. Prices were affordable. I'd like to come back to try the brunch menu.

SECOND, the food is just as amazing! 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.

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.

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.

Seating is limited, so patience is part of the experience. We did have fun at the bar while waiting. They had a more limited top-shelf liquor selection than expected, no Don Julio and no Disarrono Amaretto but the Fortaleza tequila was excellent and definitely worth ordering. Very clean tasting. When we finally sat, a few things on the menu stood out more than others. The bread service was good, though the "butter" felt more like a roux-style spread than a traditional butter and I wasn't a fan. The double baked potato was an absolute must-have...rich, flavorful, and honestly one of the best parts of the meal. The porterhouse, while cooked perfect, fell a little flat for me and didn't quite have the wow factor I expected but one could say that's how a steak is supposed to be- well cooked and the cut as the flavorful star. Nevertheless it was delicious. Overall, great atmosphere, solid experience, and that double baked potato alone is worth coming back for!
