I tried the slow cooked oaxtails with rice and peas. All I can say is wow. This has to be the by far the best oaxtails I ever had. The rice and peas was very flavorful. The cabbage was good. I also tried the vegan jerk chicken meal. Wow. The owner Alvin came over and spoke with me. He’s a very nice guy. He definitely wants to get to know his customers. I definitely will recommend this restaurant to friends and family. This is a nice after work spot. They also have a live band on Sunday afternoons.

I was here for a private event that was more about the gathering of the people than the food. For this reason, I wanted something light.

Black owned and operated with a stellar vibe. We settled in to the cozy setting after a short walk from the garage. There was a set up of a band and a black piano to the right as we walked in. We had a reservations so we were seated quickly. Once seated it was easy to admire the black art on the wall that was actually painted by the owner… how neat is that! Our first encounter we were greeted with corn bread squares that were moist and sweet. As we nibbled we were all so impressed by the tablets that served as menus. Our appetizers consisted of mango wings ( a little spicy), calamari (crispy) and codfish fritters were just tasty bites! The drinks of choice was Jamaican rum punch which gave a very nice kick. The other drink Alvin’s punch was not the favorite for our group. The after taste wasn’t appealing. The Restaurant Owner/Artist came by and introduced himself giving our experience a personalized touch. All of the food was great! The collards were a lil spicy for us but it kept your tastes buds woke. I definitely would go again the ambiance was outstanding!

Had a great time at Alvin and Friends. Chose it for my birthday brunch today and it did not disappoint. Alvin was front and center with a warm greeting and heart left conversation. And not for nothing, while Alvin IS the OWNER, he was still making sure customers had what they needed. The music was great with a wonderful 89 year old pianist who played like she was 40 years younger. The singer was lovely and upon hearing it was my bday she dedicated a song to me AND came by to offer well wishes. Now the food – THAT CORNBREAD!!!! I could have eaten JUST THAT and been good. The wings were a hit with my Fiance and that’s saying something. Bella, our server was attentive and lovely. We are definitely coming back for drinks, appetizers and more jazz!

Another spectacular meal at Alvin & Friends. A lovely atmosphere was to be had this Valentine’s Day with live music on the piano, nice furnishings, and even nicer company.

Alvin & Friend is a nice, warm and cozy place. The ambience and decors are amazing (The wall arts are painted by the owner himself – Or so I heard). The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is superb and there is (paid) parking literally right out front. They offer indoors and outdoor dining. Not sure whether that’s typical, but I went on a Saturday and they had a live band playing. The food is good. Feels like a mix between Cajun and Soul food. The only areas where I wish for improvement are the food seasoning (I was missing that kick that one usually gets from eating Cajun food) and the price of food (definitely on the pricey side). Overall, I and a great time at Alvin & Friend and definitely felt like I was a long time Friend!

Yummifabulous! What a wild blend of Southern and Caribbean cuisine from several different islands. The wine selection will please all those who know. Warm cozy feel even though it is spacious. Everyone smiles as if they all know and like each other, patrons, servers, live musicians— it must be the tone set by Alvin himself. Thank goodness they’ve re-expanded the menu (post-covid). More and more yummy stuff to chose from using their Uber fancy digital menu tablets. Good food that is worth waiting for while you relax with a perfect mojito or rum punch (or two or three, yes they are that good!) The complimentary freshly baked sweet buttery cornbread is sinful. Go ahead, ask for more, I sure did BTW, the missing star even after my 7th visit to Alvin’s (just this week again), is still because of the not-too-impressive food-presentation/plating. These succulent and delicious morsels can be presented with much more finesse and artistry. My suggestion is a culinary course or onsite training from an expert.

First off, it was great to go to a venue where the atmosphere was inviting from the beginning. Since it is New Rochelle, you will be paying for parking but the New Roc area is still a must. But the focus is on this establishment with its decor including fine wood placement that gives it that cool vibe. The art work throughout and the room we were able to have our event was spacious and inviting. Everything on the menu was great as our guests had a great time. The rum punch and the hopper are necessary drinks to order. Oxtails..excellent! Ribs fell off the bone, the salmon was cooked to perfection and the Fried chicken will make you feel like you are never going to a fast food place again. If you are in the Westchester area, go to Alvin & Friends!
