Simply put.
.. overrated. The prices here are way to high for the quality of food in my opinion. Although I will say the fries are bomb. If you go here you need to get the fries. Burger was underwhelming for $28 (doesn't come with fries). Service wasn't the nicest either and they had crammed to many people in a tiny little space.

The burger is outstanding and the pancakes are next level. Nice vibe, good service. Will be back soon.
Be the first to ReplyOne of the best new spots in LES.
An amazing menu with some cajun inspired dishes which I like in particular. I sat in "the chef's room" which was right outside of the kitchen which created a really ambiance and experience.

I didn't have the opportunity to dine here yet BUT I can say that this is the new *cool* spot to come to in this area. Talk about sexy, intimate vibes. Just looking around at the guests- everyone is GORGEOUS.Drinks are $16ish and I was very happy with mine. I got their espresso martini and I also tried their 'south side' which is a ginger/lime drink.I sat at the bar and really enjoyed the ambience. The bartenders were very kind and attentive. I also had a great quick chat with the host who advised they stay open pretty late and to come back later in the evening as it only gets more *sexy*.I didn't make it back that evening but not to fret- I will definitely be back soon because I had a wonderful experience.She also told me they do offer HH on their martinis during the week. We love a deal.Their menu looked interesting, so I'll have to update after trying.5/5

Definitely go try some fabulous food: I sat in the front corner booth on a Saturday for lunch. Atmosphere was nice, great music, friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom was very clean. Me and my beau split the Shrimp and Grits on the brunch menu. It was absolutely amazing and delicious. If I wasn't going to be busy all day, I would have ordered seconds. Will definitely be back, thanks!

Cute spot, the food is alright - I will say that the standout was the peaches and cream cake which might be one of the most delicious cakes I've ever had.

The people that work there are confused by life and waiting until their shift is over to make tic toc videos. If you like a scene and don't mind bad food and vacant service, this is your go to.

I arrived 15 minutes early, and much to my chagrin, my companion, due to work, arrived close to an hour late. Points the manager felt compelled to dish out. Look, I get that he's running a business, but maybe don't come here if you don't want to be scolded for not eating and running...at least not on a friday night. In terms of the cuisine, it's possible the affects of COVID have impacted what kitchens and customers enjoy with regard to salt. My friend and I shared the wedge salad, mussels with fries (first order of fries were very salty...the second batch was made to order), the mushroom side, and the highly hyped chicken -- which we agreed was salty and overpriced ($39 for two breasts and a drumstick).Pluses were our Martinis and server, Holta, who couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating. Bongos is a cute spot. It's possible mine was a bad night. I'll never know...

I love this place! Simple menu with great choices and everything tastes so good. I got the tartare and traditional Negroni and fries. Everything was amazing! Great service as well.

So good I almost don't wanna share! Every single thing was on point - the team, the atmosphere, and the food. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The space was casual and comforting. And the food was literally oralgasmic. It's been three days and I'm still dreaming of the burger, it was easily top three burgers I've had in life. The prawns were amazing, oysters, the chicken was sexy AF, and the broccolini was good too. I will not at all be a stranger.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing! Get the prawns.
Great vibes. Good drinks.Service was terrific.Will be back.
Be the first to ReplyI've always loved the bongos.
I really couldn't tell you why. Why do some people have affinities for certain instruments? Anyway, does this have anything to do with my review of this restaurant? Not really, but it's a random coincidence that I felt like stating. But while we're on the subject of love, I must say that we absolutely loved this spot. I rarely say, out loud, that the vibes are immaculate, but in the case of Bongos there is really no other way to put it. Though it is brand new, Bongos already feels like the quintessential Lower East Side restaurant. It's high energy, indoor and outdoor seating spill into one another in a fun, loose way, the space is narrow and a little tight but cozy, and everyone seems like they're having an amazing time in a non-pretentious way. Oh, and the food and drinks are outstanding.We came here at 8:15 on a Saturday night. Bongos is right next to Dudley's, a very popular all-day cafe and bar, so it took us a minute to wade through the typical hoards of LES patrons to find our destination. Bongos, though pretty small, has a number of seating options: outdoors, indoors and back atrium (technically indoors, but has some garden and greenhouse vibes). We had an outdoor reservation (still trying to be relatively COVID-conscious), but the table we were meant to sit at was occupied long past the expected time (they apologized and gave us a bit of free champagne to make up for the wait). Ultimately, because the front of the space feels very open-air, we ended up sitting at a corner booth by the door and felt perfectly safe. Brief interlude to sing the praises of the staff here. I often don't write much about the staff -- only if they are particularly notable. In the case of Bongos, we were met with so many warm, genuine and bubbly folks who made our experience all the more enjoyable. Our server, the hostess and the bartender were all awesome and so down to earth. Okay, so drinks were fantastic and I knew they would be. I had a hunch. My first time looking at this menu, I saw a section for martinis and a section for negronis -- sold. Martinis and negronis happen to be two of my very favorite classics and I also happen to be on a major gin kick lately. So I made sure that we tried most of what the menu had to offer, even if it involved splitting drinks. To start, I got the Dirty Martini (made with vodka) and my fiancรฉ got the Southside. Both excellent drinks to start. The martini comes with two olives and a house-pickled onion on the side which was just delightful. I then got Chamomile Martini (made with gin, chamomile and vermouth bianco) while my fiancรฉ got the Orange Julius (vodka, vanilla, tangerine, lemon). I preferred my first drink, he preferred his second. Finally, we got negronis: I got the Tropical (rum, banana, coconut, bitter) and my fiancรฉ got the Mexican Coffee (mezcal, coffee, amaro, bitter). Such a fantastic way to close out the meal -- both rich and impeccably balanced.And for such a small spot, Bongos is a powerhouse when it comes to food. We usually split everything, which is recommended here anyway. It's so hard to describe the menu: at first glance it might seem you'll be getting subtle twists on classic dishes, but upon further investigation it would be more accurate to say that it's very playful and quietly innovative. I consider it a mark of a good meal when my fiancรฉ changes his mind (for the better) about a certain food after a trying a particularly masterful preparation. Eats, bSea Bass Carpaccio: AAn ideal starter, light and fresh and fruity. It comes with these delicious onions that make for a great bite.Artichoke: A+My fiancรฉ has always been averse to artichokes but after these, he's changing his tune. I mean, when there's a generous dusting of Parmesan on top of anything, it's hard to say no. These were crispy and earthy and just so so good.Gulf Prawns with cayenne, worcestershire, oregano, lemon: A+Hands down the best prawns dish I've ever had. My fiancรฉ agreed, and he doesn't typically go for prawns. Cooked perfectly and bathing in some unreal sauce. I would put this saw on anything and everything. If I could change one thing, I'd serve with some crusty bread for ultimate sauce sopping potential. Grilled Whiting with guajillo mojo, lime, sourdough, fennel: AWe recently ordered a whole fish elsewhere and were underwhelmed but this was fantastic. Buttery in texture, perfectly cooked, well seasoned with solid but subtle flavor.Broccolini with burnt leek, pickled cherries, hazelnut: AA very worthy side. All elements worked beautifully together. Pickled cherries were a nice touch -- oftentimes you'll see grapes or raisins or perhaps currents so this was a fun twist. The broccolini was lightly charred and coated with a light and bright sauce.
