“I went to a family friend’s 70th birthday party they hosted in the Atlantic ballroom. The space was modern and very clean. The food was DELICIOUS!!! And the workers, Yiselle, Estrellita, and Shorty (blonde) made the event so memorable! They paid attention to every detail, whether it was filling our water cups, collecting unused plates and of course they did it all with a warm smile. They were kind, funny and very welcoming. I had a wonderful time! Thank you Yiselle, Estrellita and shorty!!!“

“First time eating Bolivian food and it was out of this world! Saltenas were rich, juicy, and hearty (start at one end) and the Sopa de Mani is not at all what I expected peanut soup to taste like. think of Rich complex New England clam chowder without the clams. really no peanutty taste at all. the owner was wonderful as well“

“I was so excited to spend my birthday at Leticia's. The food and service were fine, and the atmosphere seemed lively enough, but the night ended in total heartbreak. My husband had specifically arranged for a sweet birthday surprise—a simple dessert and a song—and the hostess completely forgot. Watching the night end in absolute silence without even a mention of my birthday was devastating. It completely ruined what should have been a special moment. Remind the hostess or server several times about anything special you want yo do.“

“Great date night restaurant! Cozy and romantic 💕“

“Excelente sazón y CONSISTENCIA en la misma quizás uno de los mejores restaurantes de comida ecuatoriana en los últimos 3 años en la ciudad de New York . Lugar muy limpio, espacioso , baños impecables, amplio estacionamiento y el sabor de la comida es realmente auténtico , lo único q podría mejorar es la atención un poco caótica y desorganizada pero en general todos los meseros son amables, vayan por ahí no se arrepentirán!“

“My first time in this place and I loved it. Gaby our server was so friendly and attentive. The food was so tasty , reasonably prices also.
And on top of that we got complementary dessert 😍😍. Definitely we will be back!!“

“Great atmosphere and service!!“

“Excelente ambiente, comida, happy hour 12-7 pm cheap drinks and appetizers“

“I absolutely love this place. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, their food is incredible and there’s something for the whole family. I go very often when the work week gets crazy and there isn’t time to cook. Everything at Claudy’s is exceptional and taste better than a home cooked meal. I usually do take out family meal with a whole chicken and two sides. They have truly the most flavorful chicken, incredible chaufa, and I always get the yucca fries on the side. Their Aji empanadas are my go to and I love getting an 8 oz homemade green sauce. I cannot recommend enough!“

“excelente 👌 el servicio es de lo mejor la música la comida y el ambiente“

“New go-to spot!! The best cocktails I’ve had in a minute. Complex, balanced, w high quality spirits. This spot is beautiful, perfect blend of welcoming, cozy, elevated, vibey. Awesome service and delicious food. Appreciate the vegetarian options. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu and happy hour!!“

“The food was amazingly delicious tasty and fresh. The steak with the sauce on the side and the pastelitos were delicious. Chicharron de pollo tasted super fresh and tasty. The tres Leche was delicious as well. However, I didn’t give it 5/5 because it be perfect and it wasn’t. The white rice didn’t taste fresh the macaroni salad was a huge disappointment to the Puerto Rican cuisine it tasted fabricated and more like a supermarket deli Mac salad they have to make a real PR
Mac salad w ham onions peppers etc. the service was great but the owner instead of
Writing down orders he tried memorizing things and forgot a few things we asked for but we didn’t stress it since he was definitely very professional and attentive but these things are important. Also a cup of ice with soda would be nice because I usually drink after I finish eating so when I finally went to
Drink my soda it was warm. Overall, to
Eat and bring family here absolutely the food was great along with service and the place was clean and gave island vibes.“

“Everything on the menu is a must . It’s definitely a Go to spot when you’re in the city nyc !!!“

“The food gets 5 out of 5. It was simply delicious, and we have nothing but good things to say about it. I had the T-bone steak, while my girlfriend had the filet mignon, and both were truly, truly delicious.

The ambiance gets 2 out of 5. It simply wasn't our cup of tea. The restaurant was dimly lit with neon lights, which, in our opinion, didn't pair particularly well with the atmosphere we would expect from a a place where the food should be the main attraction. Also, the music was very loud and we had to ask for it to be lowered.

As for the service, our waitress gets 1.5 out of 5. She was friendly, but we felt that she was quite unprofessional, both in the way she was dressed and in her overall behavior and level of service. She brought us our food but never checked on us afterward, and we actually had to get our own steak knife. There was also what appeared to be a friend of hers, or possibly another staff member, sitting two tables away from us. They spent much of the time chatting, and honestly, it gave us the impression that they were doing us a favor by serving us rather than making us feel welcome as customers.

The bar was also an issue. The phone kept ringing with an extremely loud ringtone, which was quite disruptive. Later, when we wanted dessert, we decided to have coffee instead. We ordered two cappuccinos, and our waitress simply smiled and said no, without giving us any explanation as to why. This was particularly confusing because there was a large coffee machine right inside the restaurant.

Overall, the food was superb, and it's really the main reason we would consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, and that's what is making us hesitate about returning. It's a shame, because the quality of the food was excellent, but the overall experience left us somewhat disappointed.“

“Best tres leches in the world so soft & well made that you can really enjoy the flavors! The cake itself is Delicious I been a big fan of this tres leches for many years now & wouldn't change it for no other.“

“So I came here for my birthday dinner and at first I did not want to eat there since I thought it will be a party vibe, but the lounge area wasn’t open. Which I get it since it was a Wednesday. But the Chef did not want us to leave disappointed, he did it all (Champagne, birthday sign, food, shots) all at a discounted price. & let me tell u the food did not disappoint. It was delicious! I was overwhelmed with his generosity. He really made my night special. And something I will always remember. Keep Being the kind person u are Wilmer. Good things will definitely come to u. I will be back. THANKS AGAIN!“
