The bar pizza was not that great and at the end the Bartender Jyoti decided to confront my brother for asking for the missing item which she took as rude.

"Happy hour# advertised as $1 wings.... you had to order a dozen. That's not a deal. The zucchini sticks for $5 were worth it. $12 dozen baked clams wasn't a terrible deal but they were very small. Wine for $5 was ok. Beer was flat and we returned and it was replaced with another on "happy hour menu" but was told menu was wrong that that beer was extra. Pastrami and reuben sandwiches were good. Expressed it was our anniversary and thought we'd get complimentary drink or dessert but that didn't happen. Even with "happy hour" 2 drinks, 2 apps. 1 cup of soup and 2 sandwiches came out to $80. To me, that's not happy hour pricing.

We also always get the same waiter who is very nice and efficient - and it adds a nice touch to the dining experience when you see a familiar face all the time. From what've read, Z-Two was one of the merging eateries of 2011, second generation of Z-One, originated from a restaurant called Bulls Head. The hype was to provide food that has a dinning appeal of many menu options, big family portions with a friendly atmosphere and weekly entertainment. From the two times I've been to Z-Two, I it accomplishes these goals. The meals that we get are big and in a very friendly dinner environment. When I was in my first trimester of pregnancy two months ago, I could barely eat anything. I was sceptical of the salad I ordered, but it turned out to be one of the best salads I've had in a long time, and I devoured the whole thing. It was zesty, crisp, and the mixture of the salad was excellent. The second time around, I ordered a breakfast with eggs and home fries. It was delicious. The home fries were very creamy, it felt like it was cooked with ghee. I would definitely recommend Z-Two for a dinner-like experience!

I really wanted to like this place because the food itself was good, but unfortunately the overall…read moreexperience was one of the worst I've had at a restaurant. We visited on a Monday night and took advantage of their burger, wings, and beer special, which was an excellent deal. We also asked to sit outside because we have a newborn, and the staff had no issue accommodating us, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. There were people smoking at the outdoor tables immediately next to us while others were eating and drinking. They were also very close to the entrance and the food service area, which I believe is not permitted under New York law. It made for a very unpleasant dining experience. There was no music or TV on for almost our entire visit, making the atmosphere feel dull. They were only turned on shortly before we left. Service was extremely slow and inattentive. Our water glasses were dirty, our waiter rarely checked on us, and, most frustratingly, our food took nearly three hours to arrive. We later learned there was only one cook working that evening, but no one ever came over to explain the delay or apologize. To make matters worse, we watched several parties seated inside after us order, eat, pay, and leave before our food even arrived. It's disappointing because the burger and wings were actually very good. However, good food alone isn't enough to overcome poor service, long waits, lack of communication, and an uncomfortable dining environment. Unfortunately, despite enjoying the food, we won't be returning. A restaurant is about the entire experience, and this establishment fell far short of expectations.

We opted to sit in the more quiet and intimate dining area, which had a nice fire place and beautiful Christmas decor to give off a warm family vibe. Our waitress, Jessica, went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful first dining experience at The LocaL, where she addressed our minor concerns and socialized with us in a welcomed and extremely friendly manner; Jessica is reflective of what exemplary service looks like and she definitely helped enhance our overall dining experience! Now onto the food: the is by far one of the most affordable restaurants I've been to in Staten Island, where the portion and quality for the price is definitely worth it. The French onion soup and Picasso burger were both phenomenal and I can't recommend it enough! The zucchini fries were humongous for the price (as you can see in the photo) and totally filling! A minor issue we encountered were that the price from the menu mismatched the price on our receipt, a few days were either a dollar or two less or a dollar or two more, so check your bill! Will definitely come back to try their extensive menu for I'm sure there are still so much more deliciousness to be discovered here! Thank you again to Jessica for being so friendly and kind, hope to see you again soon! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Pls share with friends & family on Facebook & social media.... This Restaurant, particularly staff & owner Charles Wonsowitz, discriminates against people w Disabilities....and those that need service animals!! This has to be stopped and not tolerated.so discrimination & abuse against people w disabilities requiring the assistance of service dogs will end!!!! My dad (82 years old) took me & my family & my SERVICE dog Nyxi to this local restaurant on SI---Ws bar & grill. This Local restaurant that we have been frequenting for over 20 years was completely empty, no other customers except for us (table for 4 people). Nyxi immediately sat at my feet and did not move. The owner, Charles Wonzowitz immediately came to the table & stared me & my dog down. Before he could ask any questions I voluntarily showed him Nyxis service dog license & appropriate paperwork, he said 'fine, but the waitress, Daniele, is refusing to serve you.' With that the 'bartender' had to take our orders & serve us. After finishing our meal without incident or problem, the owner again came out & told me in front of my entire family that 'if I came in the restaurant again with my SERVICE dog I would have to eat OUTSIDE'. My father was mortified & said 'Charlie you don't even have dining outside!!!'. I told the owner that he was violating my rights & gave him a card regarding my rights as a disabled person & about my SERVICE dog & where she is allowed to go & ADA laws. He threw it on the table & walked away. He was rude, humiliated, & embarrassed me & discriminated against me. Me & (and my service dog) are protected by the ADA & the federal government against such discrimination. If I required a wheelchair or crutches or a walker would I have been abused & discriminated & harassed the same way?? Would I have been told I had to eat Outside?? Truly Disgusting behavior by staff & owner!!! I will be filing a formal complaint w the ADA & the federal government, & I will be speaking to an attorney and the local newspapers. Please support the Americans with Disabilities act and do not patronize this restaurant! read more

We ordered the Forest Ave roast beef sandwich and the fried shrimp appetizer with bang bang sauce. The shrimp had a nice crunch, and the bang bang sauce was good, but its flavor was a bit mild and plain; some garnish like chives can definitely elevate this appetizer further! Our sandwich unfortunately came without the bacon jam and maple bourbon, which meant it was just roast beef double dunked with Gruyère cheese. Unfortunately we didn't realize it until near the end, and although our waitress apologized and brought us a side of the bacon jam, by then we only had a quarter of it left which was a bummer. The roast beef was perfectly cooked and the gravy was rich and deliciously beefy, but the extra Au jus was a bit pricy for how little it was, where it came in the same small plastic sauce container instead of a small bowl/ceramic. I'm sure this doesn't happen often that half the sandwich ingredients were left out, so I guess we were just unlucky we didn't realize sooner, but it nonetheless detracted from our experience and we were charged the full price for the meal. Overall The Point Tavern has a lot of potential of being amazing and serve probably the best roast beef in all of Staten Island; I really wish them the best with their varied roast beef selections! Please give them a try and just check your sandwich before digging into it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

What's the secret at the Point Tavern in Staten Island? They keep things simple! This review is based on my visit this past Saturday Evening - 21 June 2025. Bartender Mike is a true Mensch, if that's even possible, in a place like Staten Island, but he was truly a gem and kept the drinks flowing. This is truly a neighborhood watering hole that is frequented by many, including some friendly and beautiful teachers from the local school across the way. You are struck with an immediate vibe of friendliness and happiness, and visitors to the Point Tavern are truly treated like family. My great friend, "Uncle Anthony," and I enjoyed ourselves sitting and relaxing at the bar. There was a wide selection of draft beers on tap, and the mixed drinks were delicious. Confession: I made the "Shlep" to investigate this "Suspicious" Roast Beef Sandwich. My suspicions were confirmed--amazing, Juicy, Tender, and savory. Sandwiches are made to order and tailored to the customer's likely preferences. The kitchen got it right on the first shot and got me my "Kosher" Roast Beef Sandwich. Trust me, its worth the visit.

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.
