*Main downside for the atmosphere is that it is very noisy.

Newly opened (3/21/2025) restaurant, by the owner of Bistro 804 and located in the same shopping center area. Former location of Kuba Kuba Dos.

Open less than a week (opened 3/21/2025), the restaurant was very busy at 7:00. Besides the individual tables, there was one long communal table. It seems popular with friend groups and families.

The ambiance is casual but nicely put together, and there is a covered outdoor patio as well. Even though the restaurant is new and it was very busy, the service was good. There is TV in the corner, which was TV tuned to sports, but the sound was turned off (thankfully). Even though it was loud from all the voices, it seems that this will be a local neighborhood restaurant for those who live in the Tuckahoe and Westham areas.

We chose the “Local Farm Chicken –
All natural, hormone free chicken breast served with seasonal veggies, herb garlic, and Yukon gold mashed potatoes”. The chicken was seasoned well, and was flavorful. It was served atop Yukon gold mashed potatoes and vegetables (sautéed red and yellow bell peppers and green beans).

There were four soups available, served by the cup or bowl. We chose the Black Bean Chorizo, which was topped with a cilantro lime crema.

The beverages we had were the spirit-free “Pineapple Ginger Mule – Pineapple, Ginger, Passionfruit, Lime”, and a glass of red wine – the Badia Alle Corti Montepulciano.

We will return again, and try more of the items on the menu

Food has been delicious everytime we’ve come here. Serving staff are friendly & attententive. Prices for premium liquor were high, a price I’m not willing to pay. Love the vibe but it’s very loud.

We decided to try this new restaurant after hearing good things from friends/neighbors. The food was fantastic but the service was awful. Our server Marla was kind of rude and we could see her rolling her eyes every time she left the table. She smiled while greeting us but seemed annoyed every time we asked for something. The hostess and the servers who brought out our food were pleasant, but Marla’s attitude ruined the whole experience. She also kept disappearing and coming back smelling like cigarettes. Normally I wouldn’t mind but the smell was so strong even my kids noticed.
The food was really good, especially the sidewinder fries. My husband had the chicken tacos and loved them. We’re willing to give this place another chance because clearly the chef knows what he’s doing. I just hope we get a different server this time.

It’s tragic that a generic menu place like this replaced kuba kuba dos which used to be at this location. If you like incredibly mediocre food in a loud buzzing environment full of TVs blasting sports on top of music tracks playing in the loudspeakers, then this is for you.
We got wings which were disgustingly covered in the grossest sauce I’ve ever had and were depressingly undercooked.
There’s absolutely nothing redeeming about its menu other than the fact that it is more of the same American pap that can be found literally anywhere across the Nation.
Our server however was incredible and delightful a million stars for her I hope that she can make tips working at a place like this.

We went there for trivia night and the place was packed. In spite of that the service was quick, friendly and accurate and the food was very good! The atmosphere was also great with lots of talk and fun. Definitely a place to go back to, especially if you want to play Trivia.

I love this restaurant so much. It has great atmosphere and the service is top notch. And their menu and food is amazing. I live mabey 7 minutes away and my parents live about 30 and we always choose to come here as a family to eat and hang out.

I was very disappointed with both the service and the quality of food. Last time we visited this facility was when it was a Cuban restaurant (very good by the way). My wife and I wanted to try something different for a change but I doubt we will go back. Sandwich was dry with little flavor and the waiter only checked back once. Giving the food a 3 as the time from order to receiving the food was appropriate. We had to wait a long time for check and to go box. The restaurant volume is very high. While we don’t have small kids anymore, it’s not a place for kids and certainly not babies.

Home run of a local hangout. I can see hanging out and watching sports. Great bar area. Food was great, highlights were the feta dip and the chicken tender basket was a meal in itself. Fries are fantastic. Family friendly as well. Allie C our server was fantastic
