LOVED this restaurant. As soon as we walked in the host was warm and welcoming. He asked where we wanted to sit and we wanted a booth but then decided it was too close to the door on a cold rainy day. He understood completely and we were seated at another booth.
The service: amazing! The waitress was smiling and kind, she was more than willing to answer questions and did not rush us at all. The busboys too, I HATE having my empty plate sit in front of me forever when I am quite obviously finished (the food is so could have licked my plate clean, but that would be uncouth).
The drinks: I had a frozen mango margarita and it was delicious.
The Food: absolutely amazing. We had the guacamole of course, it was very good (a little nitpick, but too cold for my liking). We also ordered the sweet plantains for the table, yummy. The entrees were so so good and the portions are very generous, I am still full. I had the Carne Asada and it was mouthwatering good, and cooked to perfection. I usually eat dessert, but shockingly I just did not have the room for dessert, the dessert menu had extremely tempting choices but I just couldn't eat anymore.
The ambience: great, I love the decor. The tables and bar were nice. There was one extremely loud group, they may have been drunk, but who acts like that in public at 1:30 in the afternoon? Anyway, that is not the restaurants fault and I'm sure it was annoying to them as it was to us.
Short story: Again, I absolutely loved it. I was very happy to take a card and see that they have Desktop another restaurant in Hells Kitchen as I live on the Upper West Side. I will definitely be visiting that location and doing it soon. I just hope the host, the ambience and the food are just as good as this one.

I have been eating at Poke since 2001, when it was a teeny tiny place. NEVER disappoints! Best sushi in NYC. BYOB is great too.
Yum!
I was fortunate to have an appointment nearby yesterday, I missed the work crowd and line. It ALWAYS has a long line on weekends. Alas, no wait and no rush, just lucky. I wanted everything but settled on an eclair, flourless raspberry and the best tiramisu I have ever had! Just having come back from a vacation in Italy, says a lot!

Amazing and I am very appreciative. I emailed a document to myself and he (Kmal?)told me I could email it to their email posted behind him and they would print it.
I started to have vertigo, I handed my phone to him and told I couldn’t email bc I was having vertigo. He immediately told me to sit down and directed me to the chairs. Extremely kind. While I sat there, he handed my phone to one of his employees and said this woman is not feeling well. Email her document and print it for her. I was finally a little steadier and got up to grab a bottle of water. My print job was done shortly after)the were busy), Again, I greatly appreciate their kindness and assistance. The prices are incredibly reasonable too, especially compared to UPS or Best Copy Shop. IMO, it is THIS copy shop that is the best. Thank you again guys.

My 11 year old nephew visited me, I took him here and he loved it. The downside was the new skateboarding park. I believe it took some of the basketball court space away and the skateboarders are pretty rowdy. They come flying down the hill as you’re trying to walk to the courts.
