“Great presentation. Great drinks. Great service. Overall great experience 😎“

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.“

“We came here for Restaurant Week, and we chose this location because we wanted to check out something a lil closer to Harlem where we hadn't really had the chance to explore the neighborhood.

Also they included a nice variety of cocktails with dinner, an appetizer, a main ,and a dessert. It doesn't get any better than that, all for $45 per person. I was sceptical at first but we thought that we would give it a try.

The establishment itself is very cute, I loved the black facade, and the intimate setting with the industrial lamps, leather seats, wooden beams, and the exposed brick. The hostess was prompt and friendly. We looked over the menu and chose the Old Fashioned and Golden Rush for drinks. We had the Calzonito (2 per serving, I had the sausage... Which was hard to actually see the actual sausage... I guess it was flavored in the cheese) and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken for apps (which is a large portion, great for sharing). For our mains we had the Pan Seared Sea Bass with roasted cauliflower and sauteed kale (it was well seasoned and the kale was cooked very well). For dessert we opted for the Warm Apple Crumble with oats, brown sugar and mezcal (it was warm, but would have been great with something a little creamy like evaporated milk or ice cream, we felt it just needed something to soften the dryness. We also chose the Bread pudding with sour cherries and buttermilk caramel.

The portions were huge so get there hungry. We had to get a few doggy-bags but you will definitely get a bang for your buck. Very cute spot, I loved their regular cocktail selections, I will definitely come back again!“

“Went there on a Friday night. It took a little while for us to be seated. But once we got seated, our waiter was very attentive and courteous. The food was great and so were the drinks. We had lobster spaghetti and shrimp & crab ravioli. For the drink, i had the gold digger cocktail. It's a lychee martini, ifykyk. The DJ was a vibe. They played afrobeat, R&B/hip-hop, reggae, and Spanish music. It's very loud in there, not a place for convo, but more for turning up. Definitely will be coming back.“

“Plenty of parking. A very nice addition to the Sparkill and Piermont food scene.

May 2025 Update:

Alessandro Rocky were great servers and had great hospitality

From the website:

Chef Vittorio mixes a subtle hint of traditional peasant food with his modern take on fresh, hand-selected seasonal ingredients. The warm, intimate setting of Cucina Verace’s rustic space is a wonderful backdrop to a dining experience rooted in the chef’s past. Chef Vittorio shares the skills he learned in his mother Carolina’s kitchen in Campagna to bring you a southern Italian meal that you won’t soon forget. Chef Vittorio’s frequent trips back to Italy to explore the country’s regions also help to shape the unique menu.“

“Welcoming, intimate pub. Lovely decor. The ceiling in the woman's bathroom is a bit bizarre - take a look. ;-o

Phenomenal patrons = actors, dancers, directors - eclectic mix of local folks, representing the arts.

Stellar barkeeper. Thank you Joe.“

“Outstanding service!! And the food was delicious!“

“Comida deliciosa y servicio excelente.“

“My husband and I recently had dinner at Cantina 46, and we were thoroughly impressed. Everything we ordered was delicious. We enjoyed the skirt steak with shrimp, lamb chops, and guacamole, paired with tamarind and guava mojitos. The atmosphere was very pleasant, enhanced by a live singer. I would definitely visit Cantina 46 again.

Parking: Valet parking is available at this location.“

“I have been to Bistro Taino several times including for a special birthday dinner and it never disappoints. Tonight I went with some coworkers and as always everything was so good. We shared the crabmeat empanadas and each had the bifongo as entrees with chicken, steak, and seafood. We also shared the coconut tembleque for dessert. Special shout out to our server, Arianni, she was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and personable. Great service, food and ambiance, can’t ask for more. Thank you Bistro Taino for always making it a great experience.“

“Nice restaurant, friendly employees. Brunch hours were from 12-5 pm. I didn’t want brunch food bc I heard from others that it was just OK. I ordered the tiny special roll and was informed couldn’t get it until 5 pm due to the brunch menu times. The waitress took our order around 4:20 pm. Then she came back later to take it again-not sure why. The sushi roll was good. I also enjoyed an expressing martini. My friend ordered chicken wings , they were super super tiny. She didn’t complain about the taste though. Only street parking available. Gratuity included for a table for 2.“

“I stopped here with a buddy to get food around 1pm. The menu was for brunch but we wanted something more hardy. The manager I believe, if not owner, gave us the dinner menu very eager to keep us to stay and make sure we were happy. The food was amazing. Grilled shrimp and octopus over a bed of amazing hummus. The bread served with ricotta whipped crème and olive oil. That spread alone was amazing. The short rib plate was insane, melting off bone and the pasta unbelievable. Had a skirt steak as well and the potatoes served in small portions were crisp and flavored with garlic. We definitely over ate and had to pack to-go. We ended with the strongest coffee I ever had, and yes it was good too. Honestly we expected to pay more than the bill was so we tipped them good. I’m now re heating the left overs. Highly recommend if you love your tastebuds. Great environment. Very caring staff. You will thank him and then me. Your welcome.“

“Excellent ambiance, amazing drinks, and the best customer service !“

“Had the pleasure of dining here over the weekend. Lets start with the ambiance, perfectly lit warm and inviting. The service was impeccable from the host to our server everyone knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Now to the food, arguably some of the best Oaxacan cuisine I have tasted outside of Mexico. The crudo was so fresh and vibrant the short rib memela was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. Everything was fresh and tasty. Thanks to everyone who made this meal such an amazing experience. Truly looking forward to my next visit!!!“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Went on a Saturday night and they had a guitarist which created such a great vibe. The drinks were amazing as well as the food. Had the ceviche and steak nachos which was perfect for two people. The staff and bartender were attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back.“

“Our dinner at Minato was amazing! I was truly impressed by the ambience and serenity of the garden area, with beautiful lighting and a fountain. The staff was incredibly kind and informative as they fielded all of our questions, and even were open to adjusting our order based on our preferences.

Highly recommend the assorted fish flight and salmon flight, and the teas which came in beautiful pots!!“

“Wow!!! Best elevated authentic Korean cuisine I had so far!
Beef tartar with gochujang was so fresh and texture was perfect.
Mushroom Tangsoo was so firm and hit sweet and sour note.
Neobiani Gui (fire grilled steak) was amazing esp with chive & onion mix.
I loved Spicy octopus stir fry with udon noodle. Side dishes that came with were all perfectly seasoned and delicious.
Price was affordable and ambience was elegant.
My brother who tried food here took me here to treat me and it was one of the best Korean food experiences I had in a while.
Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes!“
