I came here on a weeknight. The ambiance is sometimes quiet but can get a little loud because of how small it is. The food is really good. They have different, and delicious foods to pick from. I definitely would come back here again.
Idk how I honestly feel about this place. It's like a love/hate relationship with this establishment. It was $18.95 a person which includes two complimentary drinks and any brunch entree. I ordered the steak and eggs ($3.00 more) and the waitress said it'll be a while for those to come out, so my friend and I started with appetizers. We ordered the Mac and Cheese Spring Rolls with "Thai" sauce. They were pretty good definitely something worth the cost. The sauce though was something I had at home. I asked the waitress that I had the same sauce at home and she said that everything in the restaurant down to the ketchup was home made. (Not quite sure on how much i believed her). The entrees came out on a huge square plate and it looked like the main focal of the dish was the eggs and potatoes. Steak was probably half the size of my hand (I have small hands). Eggs weren't bad, the potatoes were great. Just the steak got me. It was super small. The outside was burnt and "over" charred, but inside was medium well (I asked for well done). Not sure how I'm vibing to this dish. Dessert, ordered the peanut butter and jelly ice cream sandwhich. That was probably the only great worth while food on the menu. Not sure if I'd come back.
I been wanting to try out this place for a bit because I hear the owner is a CHOPPED champion and I love that show even though I barely know what fennel is!
The place closes early during the weekdays but I came here with some co-workers on a Friday night and the place was pretty crowded, not a big place but its comfortable.
We started off with some glasses of sangria which was good and I enjoyed the fresh fruits, the bartenders were nice.
We ordered the grilled scallops and mac and cheese spring rolls for starters, the scallops could of been more crisper they were quite chewy but the mac and cheese spring rolls were quite good just a bit greasy but we enjoyed them more than the scallops.
Dinner was fish and chips, chicken pot pie and a blue cheese hamburger with fries on the side. The batter around the fish was not cooked very well and it was kind of moist and slimy inside which is not a good thing especially since you can get sick off fish easily if not prepared correct. The burger was over dosed in fennel! MY GOSH IT WAS SO STRONG! I couldn't even eat half of it from just the spicy and strong bold flavor of that damn fennel. Chicken pot pie was pretty huge so I would share that with someone and it was pretty good just the carrots weren't cooked too well.
It comes down to the face I prob. will not eat from this place unless its something simple as fries or a salad, I would come back for drinks and entertainment, there was a live solo singer laying his guitar and he was REALLY GOOD! Down to the songs he sang and his voice was amazing, the guy barely took a break thats how freaking good he was, I swear he played for about 2 hours with maybe one break! I would go back for some of him and a nice glass of wine thats why I gave this place 3 stars!
They won me over today. I came with a happy hour crowd. Service was great. Prices were excellent. The wings had a lot of meat, were crispy and drenched in a delicious sauce. Music was cool. I'm officially sold 🙂 Rock on. A solid Staten Island spot. Out door area was chill. We couldn't have asked for a better time!
Attended a Bridal Shower here and I was very surprised at how much food was brought out. The buffalo queso dip was really good. They had a coconut shrimp that was also awesome. They served a play on chicken and waffles, which was to die for. The sangria was my drink of choice and it was also very good. I can honestly say all the food that night was superb!
