I was sent a reminder to confirm the reservation 2 days b4 and on the day of, the owner called to let me know there were some streets blocked off due to a Saint pattys parade. My friends and i were able to plan ahead thanks to that call and parked and walked over. My brunch reservation was for 2:15pm. Now once we came in, we were seated fast. One of my friends was about 20 mins late and they didn't give us an issue about it since the rest of us were there. They took our drink order and appetizers. My friend got there after we got our drinks and appetizers and she ordered hers and we all ordered entrees. The waitress was amazing! Kept coming to fill up my mimosa. We had shots, i felt celebrated the entire time. Owner came by and checked in on us too. The DJ was a vibe! Loved him and he kept shouting out all the birthdays in the room. There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes. Love the way they sing happy birthday with a whole party and bubbles. Overall great experience for a bday brunch no complaints. I will def be back for brunch and dinner for sure.

My schoolmate from 7th-12th grades was in town with his wife from Washington D.C. My work schedule…read morehas been hectic, so we were trying to find a time and place to meet for dinner. They were staying at a midtown hotel and I live in Inwood. They were open to restaurant suggestions, but when my friend said his wife wanted to see Washington Heights, I knew we were going to Cañave. I have been to about every bar/restaurant in Inwood and its immediate environs. There are many good places, but I tend to prefer places where the music is not overbearing, you are not jammed in like sardines in a can, and service is exceptionally good. To make a long story shorter, we arrived at 7:30 p.m. and left at 11:30 p.m.! We talked, ate, and drank the night away. I suggested the shrimp ceviche, and we split two orders of it. It was fabulous and a quintessential example of example of Latin Fusion. My friend ordered steak and his wife, at my suggestion, ordered the roasted chicken dish - which I seem to never recall the name of - and rice and beans, and I did the same. This dish has recently become my favorite in the neighborhood. In fact, it has become one of my all-time favorite dishes. The drinks were incredibly good, as I savored my favorite, the delicious coconut margaritas. To top it off, the homemade flan the best I have ever had. I would be remiss were I not to compliment the staff. They were extremely professional, attending to our every need and thoroughly explaining items on the menu (I had forgotten the ceviche part of the shrimp dish, which they immediately filled in!). The easy listening music is superb and encourages conversation. It was nonstop talking, laughing, eating and laughing. We talked about old classmates, teachers, the school, etc. We caught up on the gaps in the years that we had not seen each other. In truth, it was an experience that could have only happened at Cañave. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant!

From that moment, you know you're in for something special. The lemon-butter sauce is absolutely perfect--rich, balanced, and full of flavor. The Chicken Parmigiana is just as impressive: crispy, tender, and topped with delicious homemade sauce and perfectly melted cheese. Pair it with a great glass of wine, enjoy the relatively quick service, authentic Italian music, and the warm, intimate atmosphere, and you have a truly memorable dining experience. This is a hidden gem in a sea of Italian restaurants. If you're looking for authentic, freshly prepared Italian cuisine made by a true old-school Italian chef, this place is an absolute must-visit.

Sunday after the 4th no-one wanted to cook at home, so off we went. It's been a hot minute since…read morewe've been here. First thing I noticed is a change in the menu. Not a complete overhaul, more of a reduction. It felt more focused actually. We split the Mar y Tierra so we could each have a little steak and a little lobster without trying to stuff ourselves. The lobster was fully cooked and moist, not chewy like it was overdone. It was perfectly prepared. The steak was done medium-rare and it too was obviously properly marinated and grilled just right. It appears that there has been a change in the kitchen and menu re-focused on their strengths. We'll definitely be back sooner than later. If you want a really good steak, I whole heartedly recommend this place, yes again!

With City Island's seafood Old-school Gs reigning for a lot of folks, there are smaller restaurants…read morethat showcase a different menu on the strip. Take Archie's and Ohana- that aren't completely 'OG'- caliber- but, have remained a staple for the last 8-9 years. Now, it's Frida's turn. Since it was my turn to pick a restaurant for an outing to spend some sister time, Frida's low-key feel seemed like a good fit. Located on the southbound(?) lane heading towards the water, Little Frida has a nice light-color charm with a couple of turquoisey outdoor tables, two tables inside and some window high-top seating. The design is more trendy and subdued than the colorful and classic style seen in a lot of a Mexican restaurants. The menu is simple and basic- with burgers added to the mix and no cocktail situation- just conventional and Mexican soft drinks like Jarritos and some agua frescas. Our server Nazaret, brought us a nice helping of thick tortilla chips- the way I like them instead of the flimsy ones that break just by looking at them with Guacamole and Salsa dips. The Guacamole was better tasting than the large tomato chunk salsa in my opinion. Our drinks were plentiful- but between Agua de Jamaica(s) that were ordered and my horchata, they missed on flavors. My Shrimp Tacos were packed real nice with.... diced tomatoes, purple cabbage (yum), onions, etc- with cut up shrimp. Good though. All the other dishes my sisters ordered, seemed ok. We enjoyed the green sauce Nazaret brought us and it wasn't tear-inducing at all- which we all tolerated on each of our dishes. To finish things off, our server brought a shareable slice of a flan from his Abuelita's recipe that had all the right notes of creamy, rich and a wonderful amber-sugar-caramel taste. We all dogged it. Frida is very modest, service is super nice, these folks make their own tortillas- and food is flavorful.

He took the time to explain certain items on the menu when we had questions. The menu had a lot of delicious items, it was hard for me to choose but I ended up getting 3 tacos, some guac & of course churros for dessert! The guac was some of the freshest guac I've had in a while! The portion was pretty large too! I got the chicken, steak & el pastor tacos. They were SOOOOO stuffed. For $12, I was shocked and so satisfied. They also make their tortillas from scratch which made them even more unique and delicious! The green salsa was sooo tasty. Especially on the chicken and steak tacos. The el pastor was cooked perfectly and had pineapples too which balanced the flavor so well. The churros were delicious and came with a Nutella dipping sauce. Deff worth a visit!

So a friend of mine has been telling about this spot called "Patricia's" since she knows I love…read moreItalian cuisine.. and so she invited me for dinner there and I must say.. As soon as I walked in I felt very much welcomed. The restaurant decor was beautiful! It was perfect. I don't know how many owners there are but one of them was very welcoming and passed by each table greeting guests. I thought that was a sign of professionalism.. Now for the food.. Man.. My friend and I enjoyed ourselves.. The food was amazingly delicious. I had the chicken Franchise with Angel Hair pasta.. Amazing! The complimentary bread was delicious too! Altogether the experience was awesome. We enjoyed our meal and time at Patricia's and will be back soon! So if you're looking for some terrific Italian food in the Morris Park area of the Bronx, you should definitely check out this spot, Patricia's.

We also ordered two sodas. I love that it's brick oven pizza. Food totaled at $25 and we tipped the guy $8 since he was quick and attentive. Food was great and the restaurant is beautiful.
