   We love it here ! The service is great, the food is always amazing and so is the ambiance. It is a little on the pricey side but all of already mentioned make up for it. Diana and Camila are also our favorite !! They’re always so friendly and go above and beyond with their service. We go during the week, we go for happy hour, holidays, weekends and it never fails !

    We came on a very busy Mothers day weekend. Our waitress Camilla was very nice and accommodating. The food was very good, we enjoyed everything. The only thing I didn’t love is they allow dogs. I am a dog mom and I adore them & animals as well, I just don’t want to dine with them. Other than that, our experience was great and we will return.

    Lovemy waterfronr sports bar. The staff were friendly and efficient. Food was good but I thought ot a little pricey. We went at a quieter time but it looked like it would be a vibrant and exciting place to visit later in the evening.

    This was a different experience from when I visited the restaurant on a Saturday. The service was better and more lively. Since this visit was on a Monday the service felt very lack luster. I would probably only go on a weekend day again. Food was decent.

    The first time I went here I really liked it . We had planned a sorority reunion of 9 guests booked well in advance . The service was painfully slow though friendly . For example the waitress took half the food order and fired it so half the table had food . We didn't even have utensils and she then argued she already brought them ? Another issue was the table. When I came in I asked for a different table . Wouldn't move us even though offered to wait . Then they asked us to move for a party of 20 and we didn't want to we were comfortable in the sunken in area without the direct loud noise of the people watching sports. The food was average . Again service wasn't attentive we wanted a few things we couldn't get like additional drinks which we waited 30 minutes in between visualizing and flagging the waitress down. I wouldn't host a large party like that again there .

    Great place to have a drink with friends after work. All the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful when we had some questions about the menu; they also suggested us a couple of appetizers. The place in general is perfect to watch any game you want as they were broadcadting the march madness, hockey and nba at the same time; it wasn’t our case but people asked to change the program in a screen so they could watch their game of interest and the staff was very kind and did it. So, you won’t miss the action of your sport of preference and will have a great time with friends while tasting savory food in the highwood

    El ambiente y su staff muy bueno pero la comida que ordenamos no sabían para nada bien. Un arroz sin sal y New York steak súper salado y no saben lo que es un término well done . Porque quemaron la carne .! Una chicha que me atiendo muy atenta me puso un juego que fui a ver y luego otra persona lo quito de la pantalla. That not good ! Todo lo demás bien

    Went for brunch to celebrate my daughters belated birthday w her grandmothers. We had food off the brunch menu, all of it was wonderful. Many options to choose from and the dishes were flavorful and more than brought food. The place is clean and right across the street from the river. Found free parking in the front of the restaurant. Disappointed that they didn’t see my bday note on the opentable app. The host looked like she was miserable- she just led us to our seat and out the menus down. She did not speak at all and looked like she hated her job. The music was so loud we could not hear ourselves speak. The waitress was wonderful- I did not catch her name as it was loud but we went here on a Saturday early afternoon. What we liked about her was she wasn’t overly bubbly but was very pleasant and polite and patient. She came to check on us a few times but not one of those waitresses that check on you a million times. I did ask her to ask to lower the speaker which they eventually did. The music was great to be honest. They had the 90s Era and 70s era which we enjoyed once we could hear ourselves talk. The coffee was strong which for us Colombians, was great. The cappuccino was good too. The drink my daughter had- she enjoyed. For me when I took a sip, was not enough alcohol lol- but that’s good for brunch I guess. The prices were reasonable. I like that they understood the music was too loud and did eventually lower it a bit- this shows that they care about their customers and speaks volumes (pun intended). I like how spaced out the tables are and people aren’t on top of each other or cluttered. Again the food was delicious! When we left a different host did say for us to have a great day which she didn’t have to do. Maybe the first host was having a bad day but my mom did comment that no one wants to walk in to that as a first impression. I would come here again for sure just maybe for a sports game with friends or someone I don’t really wanna talk to haha.

    The restaurant is okay. My appetizer came with my main course, which was a little strange and the side plate was the only plate provided for my pizza which was a tad small. I also had to remind the server about my glass of wine not coming (he was great and the second glass was on the house). Overall okay, not great. I wouldn't go out my way to eat there.

    Had a really great time at the Highwood our sever was extremely nice and well mannered and the ambiance was great. We had the mussels and clam appetizer, the rainbow roll some fries and drinks all around good quality and worth the price. The drinks were definitely strong and tasty and we also loved that there was no wait to be seated. Would definitely come again.

    We came off the ferry after a daylong event at the Javits. I was wise enough to make a reservation for a table early as the restaurant filled up early. Service was slow to recognize our table but overall was acceptable. Many of the hosts were distracted by their phones but our severs were ok. Not high marks but adequate.
