Went Saturday which was St Patrick's day eve ! We called ahead and a table was ready. The service from beginning to end was great. Friendly attentive and was just great. I loved the atmosphere where you can hang out by the bar watch games or even sit at high tops. The dining room was very comfortable for me but was a bit warm for my date especially with two drinks and hot delicious food Ordered from the specials and we both were not sure on the quesadilla but it was great! A little greasy for me but the tortilla still had crunch so it worked! I got an Irish mule which had ginger beer - yum & more newness! The Guinness beef was amazinggggg and I needed to substitute the mashed for broccoli to limit some carbs and calories. Broccoli was cooked perfect!

Service was very good and the food was very good a little noisy in the bar area but that's to be expected. Everything was very reasonably priced.

Ugh. We tried because there are new owners. Wanted to love it but they are making the same mistakes. Bartender Chris was way more interested in his friends than keeping an eye on the bar. Niko is your guy. Really bummed about the service. Food was decent though.

Horace and Sylvias02/21/24I had to pick someone up from the Babylon Train Station, who was coming in from JFK, late in the evening, so I planned on getting a burger from Brixton, because someone told me it was good, and I figured parking wouldn't be an issue during the week?So, I get there, only to find out it's a "small plate" type place,(I didn't know!) and they were slider sized burgers..I should not be so dogmatic, but I declined.The bartender was nice enough to mention that the Villager, near the train station, up the street, had a good burger.I go to the Villager, only to find it packed, not a seat in the house.I walk around the corner to the Local, and there was not a seat at the bar, where I like to sit.So I walked back down to Horace and Sylvias where the place was relatively empty, and had a seat at the bar for me to occupy ?The things I do to taste Hamburgers!!!!?I order the burger my usual medium rare, no rabbit food, toast the bun, extra crispy French Fries..The first burger came out so far into well done, it was dry...I did take a bite into...If it had any juiciness in it, I would have kept it. It didnt, not a drop, so I asked for another one.The bartender could not be more professional about it.The second one came out my preferred, medium rare.The meat tasted good, but the blend they use was a bit too mild for me to put it into my upper tier of Burgers.Again, there was nothing wrong with it, just not worthy of my Top Tier burger statusThe toasted bun was complimentary to the meat, and the bun to meat ratio was perfect.The crispy French Fries were some of the best I had in a long time.Definitely cut in-house, rinsed, and soaked the proper way..I absolutely loved them.I would go back there just for a plate of them, and glass of wine ?I would not hesitate to recommend the burger, or the restaurant.The bartender was apologetic for the first burger, which in nice to see.He was polite, prompt, and professional.It a really nice restaurant, besides.The working Fireplace is an added bonus on a cold night.Parking was not an issue on a weekday night. Weekends are another story.I would definitely go back there for some of the other menu items, as they looked appetizingHorace and Sylvias02/21/2024

I ordered chicken sorrentino no taste and parts of the chicken were hard. Not enjoyable at all! I wanted marinated skirt steak but only Demi glaze now. The best thing was the salted caramel cheesecake and the waitress was a doll and didn’t rush us. I won’t be going back.

If you're hungry and need to eat, this will do but you probably won't return. The server was great but the food was tolerable at best. Put it this way...pulled pork should not be dark red. No idea how they prepared it but not very good. Burger quite dry and the fries were way overcooked. Linen tablecloths covered in white paper is never a good look and they should probably consider checking the bathrooms for cleanliness every so often. Waste of money risk factor 7/10.

Idk where the chicken was for 30 dollars but there’s a picture of it. The biscuits to start came out burnt twice (idk why they bothered remaking it) and the other meal, cold zucchini, uncooked “prosciutto” and idk how can you can do this but the cheese was a broiled dried out piece of string ? Idk how to describe. I’m only posting this to do anyone i favor in time of inflation. Don’t waste your money here. The waitress was nice. Also could not see the menu in the back room by the kitchen, which by the way you can hear everything. For a town like Babylon I’m surprised … actually not really.

The entire experience was horrible from beginning to end. It took 20 minutes from the time we were sat for a server to come over to even take a drink order. At that time we put in drinks and food. My husband and myself ordered sandwiches, one son ordered a kids burger and the other had wings. It took over an hour and 15 minutes for the food to come out. It wasn’t just our table. There was another table that had tickets to a show and had to take their food to go because it took so long. I got a pastrami sandwich. It had maybe 2 slices of pastrami on the entire sandwich. My son’s burger was ordered medium. It was so burnt that he didn’t even eat it. My husbands sandwich was supposed to be on toasted Texas toast. It was just plain bread. The bathrooms were so horrendously disgusting. Our server was very sweet and kept apologizing for the wait and kept saying it was just so busy. Honestly, not even all the tables were full. There were plenty of open tables so it wasn’t that busy. If they are understaffed that’s understandable, then don’t seat people that you can’t serve. We were extremely disappointed. This place is not inexpensive so to pay those prices for that experience is completely unacceptable.

The Bartender name cris is rude. We are watching the game and he change the channel. I asked why he said he's costumer in the bar are priorities. Wow never hear that excuse before.Hailey our server is nice but slow.the food is ok.not recommended.
Came for lunch. Recently renovated. Sat in a booth, was hard and uncomfortable. Appreciated the interesting salad offering which was avocado with heart of palm. Margarita was $15...a bit steep. Parking is annoying..meters on street.Vegetarian options: Salads.Parking: Time limit on meters.Kid-friendliness: Bar. Tables in back. Not really a kids' place.Wheelchair accessibility: Sure..street level. Wide bathroom.

The food was great. The service was great. Unfortunately, I had the option to go anywhere in Babylon village and I chose this place because I had a voucher from restaurant.com/dining dough. I was told the new owner won't accept it. If the new owner has been there for five months, then maybe he should have taken his restaurant name off the participating restaurants of the voucher.

our go to restaurant has now been our run away from restaurant. The change of ownership has dramatically limited the menu, changed our favorite happy hour, increased prices for mediocre food, and hired a less than adept serving staff. the empty tables during dinner time speak volumes.

Awesome and delicious. I had the Cauliflower Soup and the Italian Grilled Cheese. Both were phenomenal. Great atmosphere, great service and GREAT food.
