The Lamb shank was to die for and Rice Crusted Halibut was unique and so flavorful! As always the staff was super friendly and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. I especially loved the entertainment which was guitar playing and singing by Taylor. So good! It was a magical evening! Chef Ben has outdone himself!“

“i’m here to tell you the hype is true. The burritos are so freaking good. The sauce is immaculate. I always ask for extra sauce. My favorite is the sausage burrito and the bacon. I usually get both and eat half-and-half and split it with my partner. lol

It’s so good please support local!!!

I usually travel all the way to Brooklyn for a similar type of burrito (santos) and I’m so happy to have found this gem uptown nyc!! (no pic because burrito was inhaled)

**back again, this time for lunch and the tacos were so fresh and delicious!!!!“

“Excelente lugar mi respeto o para el dueño excelente servicio al cliente no como 809 ahí es lo mismo la misma pela“

“What a wonderful experience we had at Seasons52 Paramus. We had some of the most delicious food that I can remember. Firstly, our servers Tlijah & Jennifer were so professional in every possible way. They truly set the stage for a great dinning experience. We were fortunate to meet Sandra the manager who was equally cordial and professional in every way possible. Our experience was just that good. I would not hesitate to recommend this fine location. My wife and I will be loyal customers. Try this location once, you will not be disappointed. Barry“

“The restaurant has a lot of good food and I'm really looking forward to more good food“

“The most amazing restaurant! Impeccable service , delicious food & drink , perfect ambiance… We feel so at home dining here. We love everything about it and everyone !“

“great place..attention to customers is second to none!“

“Enjoyable lunch experience“

“A welcoming experience if you are visiting the area. There was a bit of a wait (30min for 2) at 8pm, but I would say it is worth it. The atmosphere is just so homey and, well, tavern-y! The staff were very sweet to talk to while waiting outside, and we were served pretty quick as well.

I will say that $20+ for one burger is a bit absurd, but that’s how they get you with the tourist prices. The Smokehouse was perfect however, and I’m still craving the wild-boar disco fries. Come wait here instead of Horsefeathers!“

“They have absolutely earned much more than 5 stars as far as I’m concerned, they have never once disappointed me with my orders, deliveries, special requests & most of all the food is always delicious!! & they’re always pleasant, welcoming, amazing young men…I just love this place!!! Thanks guys so very much for all that u do & for being the great people u r!!! I wish I can give you more than 5 stars…“

“We are definitely biased, but Wednesday night at 8 is a great time to enjoy the roasted Brussels sprouts, burgers, salads, and Pub Quiz. The staff are wonderful and the regulars are very welcoming.“

“We recently hosted a birthday luncheon for my mom on the back patio. The space was private and beautiful, the food was very good, the servers were attentive and we didn’t feel rushed. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Love this place and shout out to the best server, Nadean!
We've been here just a couple of times but our last few visits were tended by Nadean, an absolute delight! Im a super picky eater and tend to have a lot of special requests, but my girl makes me feel like a regular person - no irritation and my order always comes out perfect
The only reason for i pulled a star was because we were sat by the kitchen and my boyfriend is sound sensitive, so the constant dish clattering was rough for him
Maybe consider a sound barrier between the tables and the kitchen, at least by the sink?
Otherwise perfect“

“The food is really good. My go-to is the quinoa salad with grilled chicken or the grilled cheese with tomato soup. The salad is very refreshing and delicious and the grilled cheese with tomato soup just warms the soul. Their drinks will do what it needs to do lol. The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is chill, relaxing and they have an outside area too. 10/10“

“Amazing chicken Caesar salad and a huge portion I always call for delivery it pick up when I’m near by and I’ve never been disappointed I’ll be honest it’s my go to place for this salad every time & I haven’t tried any other plates, maybe next time I’ll ask did recommendations & tru something new.“

“This was a night and place we never expected. I kept seeing pictures on Social Media from the Bar Gal CHA CHA. It just always sounded fun. Tonight we went! We had the popular COWBOY CALAMARI, WOW it was so good! My husband had the chicken parm and I had a rib eye. IT WAS HUGE! Cooked perfect and came out hot. We decided to sit at the bar and partake in BINGO NIGHT! We met people and talked. Great Dirty Martini too!! We would go back. We need to try the PIZZA!“

“We came for a saturday brunch and it was nothing short of excellent. The manager greeted us and we had some drinks at the bar. The bartender gave us some great recommendations for the menu and the owner even came over to us and introduced himself which was very nice. We got the meatballs, rockshrimp and calamari, lobster guacamole, and burrata which were all incredible and great shareables for us. 5/5 and will definitely be back.“

Her experience behind the bar should never go unnoticed. I’ve been coming here for over a decade and she’s always stood out among anyone else back there.“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“Taco Thursday’s! Who doesn’t like a taco? Food is very fresh and best Mexican food around. Margaritas are made fresh with squeezed limes not a mix. One of my favorite places for Sunday breakfast! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.“

They have a lunch and breakfast menu and for a Monday, there were plenty of people going in and out - a sign that it's a great spot with locals.“

“I highly recommend Vibes Kitchen on East Gun Hill Road in the Bronx! A special shout-out to Chef Andre for catering my sister’s Home Going service repast. During such a difficult time, he provided exceptional delicious food and service that brought comfort to our family and guests.

The food was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned, the curry goat was tender and flavorful, the fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious, and the ackee and saltfish was authentic and well prepared. The Escovitch fish was outstanding, the rice and beans and spinach rice were cooked to perfection, the fried plantains were sweet and delicious, and the freshly steamed vegetables were the perfect complement to the meal.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful everything tasted. Thank you, Chef Andre and the entire Vibes Kitchen team, for your professionalism, kindness, and for helping make my sister’s celebration of life so memorable. Your outstanding food and exceptional service were truly appreciated, and our family is forever grateful.“
