We went on a Friday afternoon around 4pm and caught their happy hour, which had some decent deals. My favorite drink was the strawberry margarita—it tasted really fresh and even had bits of strawberry pulp and seeds in it, which I loved. We also ordered a margarita tower, which was pretty strong but on the sweeter side, and it comes served with ice cups. The food was delicious. We had the wings, fries, sliders, and the chaufan. The chaufan had a really good crispy topping, and the aji sauce was tasty (though not spicy at all if you’re expecting heat). When we first arrived it was easy to find a table, but it looked like only the bartender was handling drinks and running food at first. A waiter came shortly after, but as the place started filling up service slowed down a bit and at one point we had to go up to ask for drinks. It was understandable since it seemed like only one person was managing tables for a while. The music was great—mostly Spanish music—and the vibe got really lively as the night went on. It got very packed pretty quickly. A couple things to keep in mind: there are only two bathrooms, which can be inconvenient when the place is crowded, and our group of three had an automatic 20% gratuity added to the bill, so just be aware of that when paying.

I like to come here for all you can eat tacos on Taco Tuesday. I also like their Salmon Arequipeno, Chicken Sandwich, Margaritas, and Sangria. They also have a great brunch on Weekends. The portion size is just right and totally satisfying

I’ve only had their famous burgers in this place so I was surprised to find out they served mainly Peruvian food, one of my all-time favorite! A group of 4 of us had a variety of their ceviche, calamari, and the lomo saltados (both chicken and beef). Not at all surprised that they were very delicious! (Though i will say, def high sodium content because we were soooo thirsty after our meals, and woke up with slight hand swelling the next day). My old-fashioned cocktail was good and very strong! A few things to note: *for a party of 4, they automatically added a 20% gratuity (Luckily our server was decent) *a 3% credit card fee applies to your bill, so if you want to save some $, pay in cash. *We def did not appreciate these surprises, and kind of turned me off a little bit. Needless to say, i will stick with the important fact: their food is good.

Such a great place to rest after a long day!!!! The drinks are well made and the service was great! Bathroom was clean and the music was low and made it easy to have conversations. Will be coming back to try their food!

I was so skeptical about the place at first but then our server/bartender was so kind. He made us feel right at home. The food is absolutely delicious. Reasonably priced and good portion dishes. Everything we ordered was made to perfection and very tasty. I really appreciated getting my Pisco Sour which took me back to my days in Peru.

First time at La Cantina Heights and honestly, the experience was a mixed bag. The food was really good and the service was a 10 out of 10 — shoutout to our server, genuinely great energy and attentive the whole time. But let’s talk about the bill, because that’s where things went left. A can of Coke for $5? Come on. That alone was frustrating. Then there’s a 15% service fee automatically added to the bill — which I understand some places do — but if you’re already charging a service fee to cover your staff, why are customers also expected to tip on top of that? Pick one. Don’t double dip. And here’s the kicker: when we went to pay with card and add a tip, we were told the tip had to be paid in cash. Cash only for the tip? What if we didn’t have cash on us? That’s not a great way to run things, especially for first-time guests. Owner — the food and staff are genuinely great, and that’s worth coming back for. But the pricing and the fee structure need a serious look. People don’t mind spending money, but they don’t want to feel like they’re being taken advantage of. Fix those things and this place could easily be a 5-star spot. First time there. Probably last.

Food was delicious 😋 drinks were tastey and the prices weren't too bad. They had lots of happy hour prices and options for 5pm on a Saturday. Our waitress hardly ever came by and the music was too loud, so we couldn't really talk to each other. I'd give this place a 3/5.

The food is really good here and the Lobster Mac and cheese was delicious. Their Frozen Margaritas are really good too, it’s just the space. For the amount of people that come to this place they should def go bigger, other than that this place is worth visiting.

I had a really good experience at La Cantina Heights. The food was delicious and the atmosphere is great for hanging out with friends or family. I especially want to highlight Kathia’s service — she was very kind, attentive, and made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. I would definitely come back!

Very good hidden gem, as a foodie it’s hard finding certain places where you live that are great. I ordered the sesame chicken with pork fried rice and boneless spare ribs which were delicious. I’ll definitely be back

First off I really like the people at this reasturant. They're friendly people who are always polite. So my review is about an order I placed which cointained the worst singapore Mei fun i've ever had. They managed to overcook the noodles & they were soggy & plus they chopped them up (I don't know why they did that, it makes no sense), so even though the flavor was good it it ended up being a curry flavored oatmeal. I was starving when the food got here but one mouthful destroyed my appetite. Also stay away from the scallion pancakes because they're terrible.

A favorite go-to spot for Chinese and Tex-Mex food. Made hot and fresh. The prices are affordable with a large portions.

These must be the nicest owners in all of NY. We got engaged near billiards arcade and my now fiancé wanted to plan something special to celebrate after at their restaurant - they not only picked me fresh flowers from their garden, but also gave us an absolutely beautiful charcuterie board to enjoy with our celebratory champagne. Thanks to the team for making my engagement day so special. You truly are so generous and went above and beyond! What a beautiful place to go after getting engaged!

From the moment we entered The Bonnefont, we were greeted with genuine warmth by René, whose gracious welcome set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. Starting at the bar with the best hot apple cider. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The Lamb Shank was melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich with flavor and perfectly paired with its savory sauce. The Duck Confit impressed with its juicy meat, a flawless execution of a classic French staple. The Black Mussels came in a delicate broth that was so good, (we ordered 2 it was so good) we couldn’t resist dipping our bread to savor every drop. And the Bruschetta with Brie and Apple? Simply divine—a creative twist that showcased the chef’s skill with flavor balance and texture, also the escargot were outstanding What makes The Bonnefont even more remarkable is its incredible value. With everything on the table beloved and under $40, the quality easily rivals that of far more expensive restaurants. Combined with René’s personal touch and the attentive service, of the waiter (i forgot to ask its name) the evening felt more like dining with friends than a standard night out.

Brunch was excellent! We all had benedicts—my group loved the traditional ham but I ordered the recommended smoked salmon and did not regret it :) Our cocktails were also perfectly done. We will be back and highly recommend it.

If you’re thinking of having your wedding here- DO IT!! The entire team went above and beyond - it surpassed all of our expectations, we felt incredibly taken care of which allowed us to stay completely present throughout the day which was the best wedding present we could’ve wished for. Brenda & Chris, are absolute rockstars, both so on top of it, and so kind and a pleasure to work with. Renee, kept the drinks flowing, the energy high, everyone was singing her praises! Chef Nicole in incredible, I mean we knew the food was fantastic, that was a huge reason we chose the restaurant, but WOW. Our guests are still texting us about the food! We live really close, and we feel so lucky we can come by and relive that meal. Perfect day, no notes. The photos speak for themselves!

One of the best spots I've discovered in a while. Found this place last summer and been hooked ever since. the community here is amazing, the owners are very friendly and food here is always bussin. They always have events from Thursdays to Sundays like fighting game tournaments along with nights like girls nights, DJ nights, and etc. A great spot in the Heights especially if you want to bar hop on other areas and not far from Dyckman. The hookah is always bussing and their cocktail selections are amazing especially of you pay for the bucket. If you're just there to meet people and just have a chill night or a fun night this is the spot for you.

Great experience! This is the hub for gamers to come in and enjoy food, drinks, and video games. They have a variety of tabletops games to choose from. They run competitive tournaments as well for games like Tekken 8, Smash Bros Ultimate, and Street Fighter 6. They have a flow where families can come in with their kids and enjoy quality time, then once during the evening it's more for adult oriented. The food is amazing and the prices are great! All their foods are finger foods and simple for a more fast and convenient way if you want to dine while playing. They have a selection of cocktails. Aside from your standard cocktails, they have their own signature game themed cocktails.

This bar has been amazing I feel like I’ve been here for like the past 2 years from toxic jobs, through amazing moments and growth with my bf. Over a year and a half visiting here. I can be super indecisive with my drink. Thanks to the bartender Ian for always knowing what drinks to create. If I ever didn’t like too much sugar or too much alcohol or wanted a specialty crafted drink, I could ask him and he’d deliver. I’m super excited because all the multitude of excited and kid personalities have really created a homey feeling for me here l. Ppl will recognize and see you and that’s what makes a bar a community and not just a bar. Shout out to Luigi for the hookah as well!! Always pushing to new inventions and allowing people to be creative with their choices as well :) Thanks y’all! An amazing experience here for sure!!!!

Had a 10/10 experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating, the food was great, and drinks were on point. The space is laid back, and the music was phenomenal. The bartender was able to accommodate my non-drinking partner with a custom mocktail that we both enjoyed.

Our first time here at Uptown Gaming, which recently opened. My husband recognized Alex from his job. Alex is the manager, and he was very friendly and introduced us to the concept of his restaurant. It has a very nice chill atmosphere. Open seating space. Amazing customer service and the food was really good. We got the buffalo and teriyaki wings with fries. They were very flavorful. The food is more like quick bites, no full entrée options, and no kids menu. They do have chicken tenders, but I found them too hard for kids, but my husband loved it. The prices are very good too. We will definitely be coming back. It's nice to have a new restaurant in the block. Especially in Washington Heights.

Our first night in New York. With 16 hours of travelling we took up the advice of the hotel and came to this place for diner! I really love bachata so the owner did a dance with me and also the other staff did there upperbest to give us a real warm welcome. My daughter just turned 21 so we did our first tequila shot on the house and also we got real fireworks and great birthday dessert. Thank you for this staff of Legacy Bar & Grill! You were the best start of our NY trip! Food, cocktails and the best vibe!

The atmosphere was awesome. It's cozy and comfortable. The servers are prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, unique and you can see that they put thought into what they put on the menu. The drinks are out of this world, from presentation to taste! I highly recommend!

I highly recommend! Our waiter, Erick is amazing! Very professional, informative, and gave amazing options on the food and drinks! He gave us free shots, and kept on checking on us throughout the night! After noting that my sister and I, are African, Erick told the DJ to play Afrobeats music! So thoughtful, and made the stay better overall! I highly recommend the lobster roll, the baby lamb chops, the Mexican chicken tacos, and the La Mamasota drink! Overall, the food and drinks was delicious! Attached, is the receipt to give an idea on what to expect.

I came out for a bite to eat & a calm setting even smoke alittle hookah. The hookah was good lasted long & the drinks were nice & strong. My concern was it was extremely cold in the establishment for it to be so small they need more heat for the winter, kept my jacket on the whole time because I was freezing. Now to the food I was left wanting more it was extremely underwhelming. I order an appetitizer chicarron de pollo it was so thin and fried crisy it felt like I was eating just fried flour no seasoning at all. Decided to do an entree the menu is misleading you can't get mofongo with salmon but it says you can get any of those sides of your choice. That also wasn't season at all but it was a decent size piece. It was so cold though my food got cold in seconds. I could say I experienced the locations but will not be back. 2 sangrias, an appetitizer and entree was $80 with all the additional tax but the original price would of been $60 but to each its own. Thanks for the experience but I'll pass

This is a food truck for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I highly recommend the Spanish dish "Tres Golpes" which is your choice of Mangu, or Malanga or Yuca with eggs, salami or longaniza, and fried cheese. Yisel's fresh coffee is the best in all Manhattan!! Always greets everyone with a friendly smile and the service is impeccable. This is my go-to spot every morning on my commute to work.
