“We were greeted warmly by our hostess and seated at a lovely table near the fireplace. Our server Venus took excellent care of us. She was friendly and very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our meal which was fabulous!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“Great time with great friends.“

“what a nice place. went here for lunch with the family. great food, wonderful service, pet friendly. we ate outside under a shade. ribs were delicious, pulled pork, salad, and brisket. definitely a recommendation. can't wait to go again.“

“We went out with a group of colleagues after work yesterday for drinks and dinner at a restaurant with a vibrant Cuban-inspired atmosphere. The setting was warm and inviting, making it a great place to unwind.

While the cocktails were a bit on the weaker side, the food truly stood out. Each of us ordered something different, and every entrée was both flavorful and beautifully presented. The desserts were equally impressive—absolutely worth indulging in.

Oscar, our main server, provided outstanding service. He was attentive, professional, and ensured everything flowed seamlessly throughout the evening.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend this spot.“

“It isn't a full sit-down restaurant but that's about the only knock on it. You have to put up with hanging out in the food court at the mall where it's over packed and loud. This hurts the atmosphere. Overall, though, great food. Everything tasted great and I appreciate that you can sit right on the side and watch them cook. It was an insanely clean grill and their drawers of ingredients seemed so well organized and clean. Gordon Ramsay would've been proud.“

“Delicious food, cooked perfectly! Top notch waitstaff, and wonderful atmosphere! Two thumbs up! Perfect place for a special occasion!“

“Excellent coffee shop on Long Island, come for the caffeine and stay for the community. We stopped by my mom’s favorite coffee shop mid-afternoon, because the family was trying to kill me with caffeine deprivation. The oat milk latte was carefully made and smooth and easy to drink. The interior is great, for a brief moment in time you are anywhere in the World with roll up garage doors, fooseball and a clean setting for evening entertainment. I’ll be back next time I’m visiting!“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“We were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat before going to a lecture at the Merrick Public Library. The photos of the food looked fabulous, so we decided to give Bourbon & Brews a try. We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“The Bar tenders and the owner are always very hospitable and welcoming- even to newcomers. It is a quintessential community institution - where even if you are new to the village, you will be made to feel at home! All are welcomed - there are board games and always sports on multiple TVs- I have been coming to this establishment through several different owners and name changes- but the current owner is the best by far!“
