Santiago’s Beer Garden

Been a busy Sunday brunch. Beautiful environment ( keep in mind it is an outdoor space) but covered and very warm. I like the decoration also. Food was very tasty and well presented. Drinks was fair enough for their price.Service was also good. The level of the noise was to loud to my opinion but in total was a very good experience. The prices are very reasonable.

AMAZING. I’m Vegan and I had the stew eggplant is was soooooo good. The flavor was amazing. The coconut rice was so good. You can tell everything was made fresh. It’s clean and aesthetically pleasing. The greenery and artwork is beautiful. Our server Genesis went above and beyond for us & gave us great recommendations. Everything she recommended was very good. My friends loved their food as well.

Love this place! As a Dominican Girl, I am always looking for restaurants that blend our culture with modern dining. It’s such a cozy place. The food and drinks are delish! We had Anthony as our server and he was very attentive and kind. He recommended the best dishes and drinks. Music was good, I would say mainly Spanish urban. Definitely recommend.

The food here is absolutely amazing, and feels like a home cooked meal. Servers were attentive at checking in to make sure there was nothing else we needed, and got us seated quickly. The portions for everything were great, aside from the dessert as they did feel a little small for the price. The sancocho was a perfect for a cold day, and paired with the rabo you can’t go wrong. Would definitely love to go back and try some of their other items.

Food was excellent. Arrived very quickly after ordering. I had Pollo Guisado with coconut rice and beans, and it was very flavorful and tender. Service was excellent with the food arriving very quickly. Came two days before Christmas and the very warm interior and tropical atmosphere inside were quite welcome on the cold winter day. Wanted tres leches cake for dessert but they were out so I had a delicious brownie instead. Will have to come back another time for the cake!

The vibe in this restaurant is so relaxing and nice. The food is amazing & the drinks are good. The server was great kept coming back and asking us if we needed anything. Only bad thing I disapprove of is that they will not allow you to wait in restaurant for an additional person in your party. My friend had to freeze outside waiting for me to arrive since she was there 15 mins early. I think this policy has to be changed because anyone else would have left from being so cold. I understand the restaurant isn’t so big but i feel this is so wrong on all levels.

The food is pretty good, but my server absolutely sucked. The guy who bust tables that was really really nice and very kind and really attentive as well.

Food and drinks were really good. One of the best Dominican owned restaurants I’ve been to. Great service from the entire staff and a super chill atmosphere.i ordered the oxtail with yellow rice with a side of sweet plantains. I will definitely be back.

Santiago's Beer Garden in Manhattan never fails to impress, and each visit seems to outdo the last. I had to write about my latest experience because it was nothing short of incredible. First off, I couldn't get enough of the Passion Colada - I had three in a row! The smoothness, velvety texture, and perfect balance of alcohol made it irresistible. Every sip was pure bliss. As for the food, we indulged in an assortment of Puerto Rican dishes that transported me straight to my grandma's kitchen. The flavors were authentic and comforting, bursting with the love and tradition that only a true home-cooked meal can bring. Santiago's Beer Garden is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious food and drinks with a welcoming atmosphere. It just keeps getting better! Service was perfect too, super accommodating and genuine! 100/10 experience

Santiago's Beer Garden is a gorgeous spot with vibrant floral decor that sets the perfect vibe. The aesthetic is truly unmatched! The staff is warm and attentive, making sure you're enjoying every part of your experience. We absolutely loved the calamari and shrimp--crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The steak was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Don't miss their amazing bottomless brunch deal--Monday through Saturday from 11-4 pm, and it runs all day on Sundays!

The food here is an amazing taste to Puerto Rican cuisine. The food is so delicious and fresh. This place is great for dinner with friends. The music is always on point and the drinks are great. They have to go drink options available.

Went on a Sunday afternoon... we are the only people there... this seems like a theme with me... is coming my timing off? Don't people all eat at different times? Anyway... it meant we got the pick of the house, and service was only for us. We were a group of eight... the location is an outdoor covered garden with heaters... they turned them on for us, so it was cold too start, then eventually warmed up. The decor was really cute with a beautiful painting at the end.. the tables were slotted, which many we lost a few pieces of cutlery.. the sangria was mostly wine, which all things considered is pretty good... it only had limes in it. The monfogitoes de bistec were tostones cups with slices of beef in them... the seasoning was good... but the meat was well done... so a bit tough for me. We also got the empanadas, they were pretty standard, nothing exceptional, nothing terrible.. the chicken one was made with white meat, so it was a bit dry.. the beef one was run off the mill, and I didn't get to try the cheese. You have the option of adding mofongo to any plate... we all did... it was a chicken mofongo, and came with a delicious garlic sauce... pretty addictive if you ask me.. the ox tail was decent... it came with 4 pieces, and I got the combo with the fried chicken pieces...3 cubes of them, they were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The churasco was a bit chewy, the fries were good..I was told the calamari was good. The oreo mousse cake was terrible! It was old, the mousse was mushy in all the wrong ways.. so not get this. In the other hand the caramel tres leches was delicious.. but it was basically a tres leches with caramel drizzled on top. Do get this.

Decided to try Santiago's after reading reviews and seeing the delicious food pics! I ordered the Pernil plate with the coconut rice. The plate came out luke warm overall and the rice was kinda dry and the beans in the rice was also hard and dry. I informed the waiter that the rice was dry and asked for some beans to go with it, which helped. But the side of beans was $7 or $8 which I thought was way overpriced, especially since it was mostly bean sauce - it was very soupy. I will probably try the white rice with beans next time. The saving grace was that the plantains we ordered were delicious and also the pernil was excellent. We also ordered tres leches cake, which was pretty good. We liked the ambience, although the music was a little loud and the chairs were not the most comfortable. It has a great vibe though, and the staff is friendly. My uncle also loved his oxtail plate!

The vibes here are immaculate and I can't think of any better location these days for spontaneous day drinking. I have felt for some time that East Harlem is one of the city's most underrated food neighborhoods, with a mix of new hipster entrants and long time Dominican, Mexican and Borinquen stalwarts. We sat out in the garden and enjoyed cocktails, which all packed a punch - I had the soju caipirinha. We shared the empanadas and plantain fries, which were both excellent - the plantain fries had an almost mochi-like texture. We also split one mofongo plate which came with a side of one of my Dominican favorites, slices of fried cheese reminiscent of paneer.

Food is authentic Dominican cuisine, friendly service, the space indoors and out have a nice vibe. Love the art murals as well.

I came here with my wife on a Friday afternoon. It was semi-busy, but were able to get a seat right away. From the start we were amazed by the vibe of the restaurant as well as the temperature, it felt refreshing just being inside. The music was also great. The one comment is that it can be loud due to the volume of people. The hostess was nice and we started with the mofonguitos and drinks. Both were delicious and would recommend trying both. As for the main course, I got the pernil with coconut rice and it was blown away. I normally don't get impressed with the food of my people, but here, the taste was there at every spoonful. The pernil was tender and delicious. The dessert was good. I would come back, 11/10!

The other day I wanted to grab #lunch and decided to try out Santiago's bc we were in the area plus I've seen so many friends have dined here before. I will say the vibe is definitely chill around lunch time (which was perfect for a weekday afternoon). . Here are my take away: - There's always a drink/cocktail special of sorts no matter the day (just check the times before heading there) - The portions are sized well , I didn't think I would be full but I left out so full and I didn't get dessert - I have no complaints about my dish, I would have to go back and try more but the seafood I tried was on point - They have lunch specials Mon-Thursday (limited entrees are cheaper) - Let's go back to the cocktails: THEY ARE STRONG, we got the 'Santiago's punch' and I didn't expect anything of it bc of the soju but I def got punched w/ alcohol when I took my first sip - The staff is definitely attentive and helpful w menu questions - Make reservations bc it will get packed w big groups - For days that are not super hot out there may be a bit of a chill heads up

Went with family to the wedding of the groom's family last Sunday 9/3/23. Judging from the description on Yelp, it seemed to be just another cuchifrito joint. Honestly, I wasn't expecting too much. I have known the groom, since he's a tween. The restaurant and staff did a fantastic job; making his and his bride's occasion, very special and memorable for everyone! It was an amazing experience!!! I've been to dozens of weddings and there's always some little glitch. NOT this time; everything ran smoothly. From the photographer and officiant's excellent service to the food and beverages. Everything was plated flawlessly and with Finesse! How often do you find micro greens on the plates? The place is well appointed, and the decorations are not over the top. There seemed to have been a server for every single table; who was aware of what was going on. Refilling glasses, clearing plates doing what an excellent server is supposed to do. Everyone's food came to the tables almost simultaneously and at the proper temperature. Everyone seemed to be satisfied with their choice. After the service and happy hour, which was outside, the main room was set up as a dining room and a dance floor. The music wasn't so loud you couldn't speak to someone next to you, which is pretty nice. Both mother-in-law's seemed very happy with the wedding. Everyone else was just happy, since there was an open bar. The only drawback, unless you live in the city and can take public transportation or walk; there is NO real place to park. A cousin to the groom found an App to reserve a space in a parking lot at 340 East 117th. St. When we got there the guy in the booth seemed to be in another world. It was supposed to be as late as you wanted to leave, but then he told us they close at 10:00 PM and to make matters worse even though we had people in the car, they could speak Spanish he couldn't understand them, and he spoke Spanish! Too bad I didn't get the name of that place. You know that would've gotten them a scathing review

I was invited here for a baby shower celebration. We thought the entrance to the place was on the main road and seemed odd bc of the look of the restaurant. You have to walk around the back to access the garden area which is so cute inside. The seating needs an upgrade though by the end of it my hinneh was not happy the seats were so uncomfortable and the panel tables are a recipe for spillage. It was a prefix menu due to such a large party. The appetizers were empanadas trio. Tasty but not something I'd rave about. I had the bacalalo with yellow rice and beans. My bf had the chicken chunks and coconut rice. My food was sooooo good perfectly prepared and seasoned. He enjoyed his entre as well. Drinks: lychee martini and the mule both were made with soju bc the venue only has beer wine and soju . I didn't enjoy the martini and sent it back swapped for a glass of wine. Our server was so nice about it. He was so attentive and very pleasant. The dinner came to an end and the server notified us that they wouldn't separate our party if 24 into sections. Instead they requested each person pay for themselves? 24 cards just seems like a lot to run. Most establishments have a minimum. It ended up being 84 dollars a person. Which seems a little on the pricey end for what we had maybe because of preadded gratuity? Either way it created a very weird vibe to end a great day. So I'd say yes great for a date or a small group. Skip it for a big party.

We walked in for brunch and were able to get seated with no reservation. The place itself is very pretty lots of flowers and colors. The food was pretty good, I got salmon with some veggies and tostones the sauce that came on the side was like a garlic sauce which I used to dip my tostones in. The bottomless mimosas for 28 dollars per person were very much worth it. Lastly, the service was pretty good she was nice and helpful.

Ordered: Jason's Fishing Boat (~$21): fried shrimp, calamari, plantain chips, and marinara Matthew's Way (~$37): oxtail with fried chicken chunks served with yellow rice and black beans Passionfruit Juice (~$5) Aya's take: I've had Santiago's Beer Garden on my list for a while because of the delicious Latin dishes and vibey outdoor seating area they have. Jason's Fishing Boat was great for sharing but the ratios of the shrimp, calamari, and plantain chips were way off. There were barely any shrimp (which was my favorite) but plenty of calamari. Matthew's Way is a bit pricy considering the portion but I loved it. The oxtail was tender, well-seasoned, and savory. The fried chicken chunks were nicely battered but a little dry. I would've liked if this dish included plantains which could've nicely balanced the saltiness of the dish. The yellow rice and black beans were pretty solid. The Passionfruit Juice was actually delicious; if you're looking for a non-alcoholic drink, I highly recommend one of their mocktails/juices. Highly recommend!

The vibe is very hip and music is great- we went there for drinks and trust me their drinks are awesome! loved their apetizers too- Tried Yuca fries/Empanadas/Cheese mofongo- all was Fab! Great place for a nice eve or drinks. Ambiance and decor is great too

Delicous !! Great service it just takes a little long. They really created a beautiful atmosphere in a small space. The place was a tad bit cold I really wish they could have accommodated us as the AC was hitting us the whole time.. other than that it was great !

... I forgot to mention Brian the bartender who makes THE best margaritas in town. We will definitely be back. And looking forward to seeing the staff, eating, and just having a great time. You should be very proud of your restaurant and staff!!!

Came back to santiago's beer garden 6 months later and the food did NOT disappointment, nor did the server. Our waitress was timely, on point, and extremely nice. The food came out fast and was as fresh as I remember the last time around (drinks too ;)) Ambiance is solid. Vibey, they have fans (for when it's hot like now in the summer), water was always flowing into our cups... Overall a 5/5 experience. I plan to make a habit of coming to Santiago's! Try it out y'all! They also have great happy hours & deals on different days of the week. Check their website for the most accurate deals - also book a reservation on open table for ease!

I've been wanting to come to this place for a long time time and since I was in the area and had some time I decided to check it out. There are two entrances which I didn't know until I got there. The entrance on the main street is for takeout. When you walk around the corner to the other entrance is where there's outdoor dining an indoor dining. I walked in and found my seat, and I also looked at the QR code menu that's a sticker on every table . Luckily I went on a Monday, so there was all day brunch with unlimited mimosas. Food was delicious too! Will return!

Me and my friend made reservations to dine in on a Saturday afternoon. We predicted we would be late and had to call to try to push our reservation and they were very accommodating about it. We arrived and it was a lot smaller than it appeared online but it was still cute! They have flowers and murals on bricks surrounded the restaurant. The decor looked just like photos. The first thing me and my friend noticed was the GREAT music. They were playing a mix of RnB, Reggaeton, and Dancehall which had us hyped the whole time. It seemed to get more busy after 4pm which makes sense. Our waiter was very welcoming and pretty attentive. We got the Empanada Trio which came with a cheese, beef, and chicken empanada. I'm not too big on cheese so I tried the beef and chicken and it was delicious, especially when you dip it in the sauce. We both finished our drinks and ordered a second round of the Passion Fruit Mojito and Santiago's Punch. They also seem to only pair the drinks with soju so keep that in mind! It tasted just as good nonetheless. For our food we ordered the Stewed Chicken and white rice with red beans and Grilled Chicken with white rice and black beans. We tried each other's dish and agreed they both had so much flavor! It tasted just like my local Dominican food spot. It was obviously more expensive for the look of the place but that's expected. Overall it was a fun time and the food was up to my standards! I'd return and wish I was closer!

Wonderful atmosphere. Food was great. Drinks were delish. Service was quick and people were so nice.

Santiago's Beer Garden specializes in authentic Dominican comfort food. The dishes made me feel so at home! The overall vibe of this place is, let's say, so aesthetically pleasing!! plenty of photo opportunities to take for my creators out there! What we had: Bottomless Mimosas (with Pineapple Juice) Santa's Hat Peppermint Twist Jason's Fishing Boat Empanadas Trio Steak and Eggs Santiago's Brunch Sampler Shoutout to: Our server Carolina was amazing! She was welcoming from the moment we entered the restaurant and took care of us entirely. She made great food and drink recommendations. My experience here was a 10 out of 10!! I highly recommend you check them out!!!

Our group of 7 had a fantastic time during brunch. We did have the 90-minute limit, and from drinks to food, the timing and flow were seamless. We had attentive service and our water glasses were never left empty. Vibes for brunch were great! Everyone loved their dish. I got the stewed eggplant dish and would absolutely get it again. Yummy rice. Photos really don't do it justice! I really appreciate that my friend's nonalcoholic drink came out really nice, and the soju-based boozy drinks were a hit.

First of all, it's a beautiful restaurant. Even in the dead of New York City winter, the dining room like a summer garden party. And the food was super tasty. We loved all of our dishes. We had the empanadas trio, chicken chicharrones, pernil and churrasco. There was a problem, however. The food came so slowly. Adding to our pain, all of our dishes--both the appetizers and the entrees--came out at the same time, a full 45 minutes after we ordered. We would not have ordered appetizers if we knew that our entrees would come at the same time. And if we knew it would take 45 minutes after we ordered to get any food, we probably would have gone somewhere else.

Came here for an early dinner 5pm reservations. One of the girls was running late so we couldn't be seated until she arrived. When we were seated they had to replace one of the chairs because they were broken. I really wanted to LOVE this place but nobody had mentioned how small this place is, and the bathroom omg tiny. Anyways we waited about ten minutes until someone came to take our order and we didn't realize it was no menu it was a QR code. But when we were seated we weren't told that. We ordered some appetizers and meals. A pitcher of coconut margaritas omg to die for amazing. I loved the chicharon de pollo son hueso. But honestly what a small portion for the price. One of the girls ordered steak loved it another ordered oxtails loved it. I shared grilled chicken with another friend. The chicken was good but a bit salty. Over all food is great drinks are great. Music on point loved the vibes. Just wishes it wasn't so small it felt so cramped. The was a baby shower when we were there someone's kid was on the floor of the entrance it was a bit chaotic. Will still come back

I had the opportunity to go back to Santiago's Beer Garden and I'm happy to say this time it was five stars across the board! First our server, William, was AMAZING - my girlfriend is STILL talking about the drink he suggested she LOVED it! He kept checking on us - was very warm and friendly and really seemed to enjoy his job. If you go there hopefully you'll get the "William Experience" too lol. We started with Empanadas as an appetizer - you get a chicken, cheese and beef. They were delicious. We had the steak with onions and the surf and turf for our entrees. There was a slight glitch with my steak (I asked for medium and received well done), but it was quickly rectified. We also had a side of the maduros everything was delicious! The star of the show though was dessert. We shared the warm brownie and it was absolutely amazing! It was warm, moist and crunchy and was served with whipped cream with a drizzle of caramel sauce. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS OFF THE MENU!!! Yes it was just THAT good. I'm glad I was able to get a redo of this restaurant and I think it will now be one of my go to's. Next time going for brunch!

Extraordinary!!! Amazing! We came here to celebrate my best friend birthday. I made a reservation to secure a good table inside the restaurant, we don't like summer, so dining outside is a nightmare for us during summertime. We arrived, and the hostess guided us to our table. We ordered the mimosas special, bottomless Mimosas, one hour, for 20 dollars!! Different flavors, guava is the best one. The food exquisite!!! Fast and with unique flavor. I spoke with the server and the sang happy birthday to the quinceañera. Bathrooms are extremely clean! Outstanding service ! This is a little gem hidden in Harlem! A must visit! Extremely recommended!

The beat Puertorican food! Period. I went here for mu cousins birthday and it was amazing!!!!!

I love the great outdoor/garden vibes that they have. The drinks and food are very enjoyable on their own but, the ambiance makes it better. The staff are very friendly too. I will definitely come back.

A tiny hole in the wall, where if you are claustrophobic you might have a hard time. The service was great though. The food was absolutely delicious! Made it all worth being on top of each other. The greenery all around makes it so pretty.

Why 5 stars? Because, once again, Jando never lies. --- --- --- As I've written in a recent review, everyone needs a Jando S in their life. I text him: "hey, do you have any recommendations in Harlem?" Within 5 minutes, I have 12 texts that take several minutes to read through. Within that are several options and detailed notes on what I should order and the ambiance within each business. I'm basically a Jandex Platinum member with personal concierge perks. If it's not obvious enough, Santiago's was his recommendation. And it was a good one. First off, it was a cool spot. It almost felt like I walked in to the wrong place when I arrived. Or maybe I was in the right place, but I walked into the back of the restaurant. There was no host stand and the area felt like it was more like an atrium than a physically indoor space. As for the food and drinks, everything was really enjoyable. I ordered a sangria and a mule and both hit the spot perfectly. 5-stars for both. Food wise, the only thing I thought was just okay was the Chicharon de Pollo. The oily sauce it came with didn't add much, but when I dipped it in the sauce that came with the empanadas, it was much better. 3-stars. The empanadas? Oh yes, 5-stars. The Surf & Turf / Mar y Tierra? The shrimp and churrasco were excellent. We opted for coconut rice and enjoyed it, but didn't taste coconut. Still good, though! The Yuka fries were among the best I've ever had. 5-stars. And lastly, the tres leches? You guessed it: 5-stars. I was able to catch up with Yelp legend Jonathan T here, who I have not seen in person in over three years. Don't tell him I said this, but he didn't need to eat this meal. He's looking a little chubby and now he's even more after gobbling up his portion of the tres leches so fast, he would have gotten a ticket if the cops had been around.

Took my family here on a whim while doing a museum near Harlem. So happy we checked it out. Delicious & authentic food with incredibly nice service. 5 stars from this happy customer.

Ok so i tried this food using the TooGoodToGo app (which you should checkout to save waste in restaurants at end of nights) and i got 2 mystery bags for $5 each!. So let's just say this is a small spot on one end but the back has a garden seating area. The pick up area was small but they were PACKED. I wish i was able to try the chicken but i got 2 rice dishes one with fish and the other with eggplant. I was upset at first to get eggplant instead of chicken (but it was in too high demand while i was there) BUT IT WAS BANGING! i never had such good eggplant and I'm drooling now thinking of it. The fish was great and the rice was so soft and fresh. 1000% recommended this spot wether it's to go or sit in!

I have been following this restaurant for a while on my IG with intention to visit. It's pretty far from me (in BK) but eventually I had an event nearby that allowed me to also eat there. My GPS guided me to the takeout section and I honestly thought I came to the wrong place until I saw the sign that the garden is around the bend. They do have outdoor seating setup outside (front), the inside of the restaurant itself is set up to give an outdoor type vibe. The place (inside) is smaller than I expected actually. We were seated quickly (Sun ~3p), I did make reservations. They don't have a full option bar so the drink options are limited. We didn't do the bottomless drink as we were heading somewhere after so we had time restriction, +Driving, and for 2 people it didn't seem the price would be worth it. My bro got the Mule like drink which was sent promptly back as it tasted like a very very watered down mule. I got the Lychee Martini. I would not necessary come here for drinks. Prob next time aim for the bottomless drink option as in bring more people and plan to get your drink on. For Starters - Yucca fries: these are surprisingly soft yet I did enjoy them. - Fried Shrimp Mains- Garlic Shrimp and coconut rice and beans Stewed Chicken We literally ate like 40% of the starters and we are FULL. I am not sure how to explain it and we were both kind of surprised. So by the time the mains came out we ate a bit of it and pretty much packed everything to go. No dessert as we were on time schedule to head elsewhere. A part of me was like "This place is to far to return to" but I would like to return and try other menu items. Everything looks so good. Its good to with 4-5 people this way you can order a bunch of Starters and hopefully get a variety of mains...

Food was great, drinks not so much. Go with anything but the mojitos. Bartender needs a course on making good mojitos. We returned our jar ($44) twice. Ended up drinking a coke. Ambience is gorgeous!

Ambiance is good, chic decor and lively atmosphere but I expected it to be a bigger place for a beer garden and have some good draft beer selection.i went on Sunday eve with a friend and got seated right away. we just had couple of beers, didn't order any food so can't comment on that. Will give food a try next time

Delicious food with a friendly and incredible staff. I've been to Santiago's twice now and absolutely loved both experiences. Love the decor and vibe, it's like a small hideaway/haven in a busy area.

Came here for brunch and I have got to say, the aesthetic, food, drinks, staff were all excellent. There is a covering so you are eating inside with an outside feel, and I do love the garden feel and decor. They do have a bottomless brunch option, but we didn't go for that this time however, the sangria was great and I totally recommend it. I had the Chicharron de pollo with rice and beans and my little Puerto Rican heart felt like I walked right back into my mom's house. The food was honestly so good and if I just had more room, I would've finished the whole thing in one sitting if I could. Overall a great spot. I'm definitely coming back and bringing more friends! A bonus is apparently they have bottomless brunch every day as an option so if I'm feeling frisky on a Wednesday, best know I'm coming here! Another good bit to note is that I was able to actually have a conversation here which is a weird thing to say, but sometimes the music in other places is so loud I can't hear the person next to me and I appreciate that .

I ordered pernil... I received cold excessively fatty pork, no seasoning no sauce. Dry rice. Decent beans....And one very long black hair. I am so ticked off. Threw it out. Never again.

Service needs major enhancement. I waited for about 5 minutes to be attended after arriving at the reservation time. The waitstaff maybe overwhelmed or need guidance on managing the multiple demands of the role. If you like mediocre food and waiting to be attended to, then dine here.

Great place, I highly recommend it. I've been wanting to try out Santiago's Beer Garden food for quite some time now, and I finally had time to do it. Upon entering the place on a Sunday evening, its vibrant colors and its peaceful ambiance quickly drew my attention. This lovely warm welcoming spot is definitely the spot to spend time with friends and family. It's definitely a come to spot. In addition to the aesthetic, the food was great! For appetizers, my party and I ordered the beef espastelitos and Jason's fishing boat (a mixture of fried shrimp, calamari, and plantain). All was great, but what really did it for me were the beef espastelitos. It had the right amount of crisp on the outside with the perfect amount of seasoning and juiciness on the inside. So good! Later, I ordered an oxtail entree with coconut rice. Oxtail was tender and had a hint of sweetness to it. The rice and peas were also flavorful. Then, after the entree, my guest and I hd to order more beef espastelitos again (couldn't help myself) and a ceasar salad. We then finished this great meal with dessert. We had a nice fat cholate brownie with vanilla ice cream over it. Yum! It is a must-GO! I will certainly come back again :)

When we walked in, the place was empty besides 2 tables. We said we had reservations at 1pm, but we were missing one person. They felt it necessary to remind us that we only had 90 minutes, even though the place was practically empty. (And not to be picky, but there was a table sipping on mimosas for much longer than 90 minutes.) The food was good, worse than it was before the management change, but still good enough to come here again. The beef stew was a little dry and not much of a stew, but the french fries were crispy and delicious and the drinks taste great (though they are a beer garden, but they don't have a variety of beer). Our waitress, Genesis, was extremely inattentive. We had to go up to the bar and ask for multiple things, including seat changes, as one of our seats was blocked by their decor. She was only really helpful when our particularly formally dressed friend walked in late. The bill ended up being $213, which for four people (one of which only ordered a side) made absolutely no sense. One entree is maximum $20, and we got one drink and one shot each. We also noticed they added a 20% gratuity without telling us, which is only supposed to be 18% for a party of five or more, which we obviously are not. Of course we asked for an itemized receipt, but our waitress hesitated to give it to us. Turned out, one shot was $8 each, which is absolutely insane pricing. It wasn't special or anything, it was just a smaller-than-average-sized shot. It's crazy how easy it was for them to charge us money, but how long it took to explain what they were actually charging.

Food and drink were okay. The empanada mixto was dry and the drink was ok. The place is very not solo friendly as there wasn't a bar to sit at but it seems like a good place for a group. I most likely won't return.

This venue has been around sometime - pretty sure even before I relocated to HK. The open ceilings and industrial space just adds something special to it. We ordered a few dishes and they were delicous - 1/ Vegetarian option; 2/ Tacos; forgot the last tbh! Service was spot on and they were sticklers about the allowed time in our seats though! Will definitely revisit when opportunites come about!

Came here for the oxtail dish and was very impressed! The yucca fries were also very well done. Entree sizes are pretty generous, so perfect for sharing or taking home leftovers. The murals on the wall are very bright and the plants add a lot of texture to the space. This is a great place to hang out with a big group of friends, but the music was super loud and we literally had to shout at each other to be heard. The vibes are energetic so this would be perfect for a group outing.

Food was delicious! The mimosas kept coming & that made brunch a great time. Our waiter with the long curly short hair was great (don't remember his name) but he was very attentive to us, we didn't feel rushed to give up the table. Will definitely come back.

The food was delicious, flavorful, serve to perfection. Between the ambience and the service and the delicious food made me feel like I was back on the island. No restaurant in New York has made me feel like that but this place. Highly recommend.

So. It was a cute atmosphere. However, the service wasn't the best. The food took a while to come out. The food was average.

Came here with my sister and enjoyed the atmosphere. Cool decor, but keep in mind you won't be in an actual garden. The staff was great, especially considering how annoying my sister was LOL. The drinks were strong. Now on to the let down. We kept it simple and ordered Stew Chicken with rice and beans and although the food was well seasoned and had a nice presentation, it was very salty. So you're basically paying for overpriced Dominican Food that can be a hit or miss. I would go back again and try other options, but again, way overpriced for what I can get at any nearby Dominican restaurant.

A great vibe for brunch! The area aesthetic is great and the music is perfect, has a mix of songs and genres. The Oxtails, rice, and beans were delicious, I just don't think the plate was worth $27 (expected more oxtails for that price). The yuca fries were probably my favorite item, I'd go back simply to get those. You could build a great meal off sides to enjoy brunch and get bottomless mimosas, still believe that would be great. We didn't do the bottomless because our entire party wasn't 21, and it requires the entire table to participate. The hurricane (the drink I got) was pretty good but post bill coming I had a little regret because it really wasn't worth it.
