“This place is a hidden gem. We were looking for place to make our go to spot. Once my foodie fiance tasted the catfish it was goto spot approved. The service is outstanding as they took very good care of us. The food is very tasty and nicely seasoned. We will be back.“

“We had some time to kill before an event and this place showed us a great time. Their DJ was fantastic! He knew we weren't regulars and still made us welcome. The food was perfect, if I am drinking I need perfect wings and they hooked it up. All in all the staff was friendly and the space was great I would definitely go back to enjoy another night.“

“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.“

“Fantastic food great atmosphere“

“Excellent atmosphere. Comfy seating, bar seats, or small tables, there’s a spot for anyone. The craft control menu was great, hard to choose which one to try. Extensive list of wines and spirits as well. Gonna have to try some food next time I come visit the city.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Hermoso restaurante de comida internacional música tragos espectaculares y ambiente súper agradable“

“The food was tasty and the portions plentiful, the wait staff attentive but not intrusive. Excellent charcuterie board, some of the best truffled French fries I have ever had, a superb brisket sandwich, and a delightful affogato to wrap up. I will stop there again if I am in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ALL AROUND!!!
Such incredible food and drinks. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The Pozole was amazing. We sat at the kitchen bar and watching the chefs execute each dish was absolute food porn. RECOMMEND!!!!!“

“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.“

“Great meal - drinks extraordinary. Definitely coming back.“

“Everything about Mykos was first class Cuisine 5 star Atmosphere 5 star Cocktails 5 stars Wine selection 5 star Desert 5 star There was nothing about our first visit to Mykos Greek cuisine I would change.“

“I went to SCRV today for the first time after like a year of wanting to go. This is a fire place in the neighborhood that I probably won't go back to because of the people that goes. Dudes be standing on the wall instead of dancing...that's to say, the ratio is pretty good.. A downside (like the first sentence wasn't one) is it closes at 1 AM at least on Fridays. Furthermore...some of the the women are scheming, trying to sell you on the next spot (spoiler: $100 bottles that really cost 30-40 max which would be fine but... They also charge cover-they don't tell you that part.) Additionally, they'll surely call you broke if you opt out of being swindled.

TLDR: Go to SGRV but not wherever else anyone tell you to go. My honest opinion.“

“What a beautiful space in the historic Bronxville train station. Truly a gem with a gracious hosts, servers and bartenders that make cocktails with love. I think my new favorite is the Lion's Tail, but it's hard to choose. Can't wait to go again!“

“Birthday celebration for a friend and 13 others . Will be back again. Customer service outstanding. Atmosphere great. Had a wonderful time.“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“Had a delicious dessert! Nice atmosphere!“

“Go there and ENJOY IT..etc“

“Chill location in Bronx, near Arthur Ave.

Tacos were perfect, frozen margarita were from another league and churros were amazing.
To add, service was fast and you always feel like your being served by a relative and not a stranger.

To add it all, pricing is a great value with respect to quality and service.

100% would come back“

“So happy I decided not to go home and cook. I live close by and wanted to try this restaurant for so long. I finally did it. I had the tortilla soup and the flautas. And of course chips with salsa and guacamole. Everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and attentive. Ambiance is very nice and the music… I was singing and dancing waiting for my food. Loved it!!“

“Great atmosphere great food great vibe great service!!!!“

“Excelente. Comida rica y bebidas 🍷 buenas.“

“I came here for the first time for brunch with my fiance. We didn't make a reservation but we were seated instantly.. I would highly encourage making reservations as there were multiple events happening there and we were lucky to get in on a walk-in LOL. The wait staff was very friendly. We had nice conversations and She was attentive. My fiance ordered that oxtail Rasta pasta which was amazing. And I got the chicken and red velvet waffles which was also very good. I liked his dish more though LOL. We also ordered the ackee and saltfish patties. I love that concept. It was creative and very good. I ordered the rum punch( potent and delicious) while my fiance had the bottomless brunch drinks for 1 hour. It included either a screwdriver or a mimosa. The difference if you would like to know is one is vodka and orange juice. The other is champagne and orange juice. We preferred the vodka LOL. Really nice Restaurant. atmosphere was beautiful music on point we were jamming out. We had such a great time. Amazing vibes. Highly highly, highly recommend and will definitely be returning.“

“loved service and food expectacular“

“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.“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“Great service thank you to Casandra for taking care of our table. And thank you for security for their great job in letting my son in.“

“I’ve been going for 7 years now, and I’ve never had a bad dinner. I bring my friends and family! I give it 5 stars The staff is always warm and welcoming“

“Authentic, good food . This was our first visit and won’t be the last!“

“This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back“
