Stopped by on St. Patrick’s Day just to grab a drink, and this neighborhood spot turned into a full-on vibe. It’s an interesting mix of classic American bar energy with a Peruvian twist, which makes the menu way more fun than your typical pub. Even though it was packed for the holiday, it never felt overwhelming. Lively, but still comfortable enough to actually enjoy your time. I lucked out and found Broken Skull IPA by Steve Austin here—funny because I’d been searching for it everywhere and almost ordered it online. If you’re into craft beer, definitely give it a try. Didn’t go for Taco Tuesday this time ($25 unlimited tacos is tempting), but I spotted birria ramen on the menu, which already guarantees I’ll be back. Food-wise, the mushroom burger was the star—perfectly cooked, juicy, and rich without being too heavy. And the fries? Crispy, golden, dangerously addictive (and I’m picky about fries). Service was warm and attentive despite the crowd. Overall, a fun, easygoing spot that somehow balances energy and comfort. Definitely coming back.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Food is always good and drinks but the service needs to be way better. I have been a few times with family and friends and every time I have came I always have to call the waitress over many times to get their attention to place an order. I see most of them on their phones all the time just huddled up barely doing their jobs and sometimes they have an attitude all because I try to get their attention to place a simple order even requesting to get a bill takes so long, mind you i have always been there when there are barely costumers inside and not as busy. The hookah guys and the servers are nicer to be completely honest they def deserve the gratuity.

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.

The atmosphere is very welcoming. The various starters are delicious—the French baguette with butter comes highly recommended—and the main course features excellent presentation and exquisite flavor; everything is cooked to perfection. And to complement your favorite drinks and desserts... It is also worth highlighting the excellent service provided by the waiters.

Last night we hosted a spectacular surprise party for my Mother in Law’s 80th birthday at the Bonnefont in Fort Tryon Park. The room - gorgeous, the food - unbelievable, the service - attentive and on point. Several of our guests are restaurant owners themselves and they raved about the quality of the food and how smoothly the whole event went. Do not sleep on this place! Plan a dinner, plan a brunch. It is such a gem. Note - the food was so good and we were having such fun that I forgot to take pictures. 🤣 Thank you Chef Nicole and team, for your wonderful hospitality.

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.

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.

I was genuinely impressed by the customer service I received. I called with several questions, and Angel was incredibly patient, professional, and welcoming. He took the time to answer everything without making me feel rushed and made the entire conversation enjoyable. Excellent customer service like this is hard to find. Based on this experience alone, I can't wait to visit. Angel is a true asset to this business!

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.

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.

The food is ok. The drinks are ok. Overpriced for the quality. If you’re into fighting games like tekken, street fighter and Smash bros then this is the spot for you. If you’re into any other video game that ISN’T a fighting game, skip this spot. The vibes are good though and the people working here are nice. I wish everything else made up for it though.

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!

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.
