Best WLM Reviews
We were seated immediately at the bar so no wait, but food took roughly 30-40 minutes to be served. Understandable considering it was Sunday evening and it was packed, but once we got a bite we understood why. Steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, pork was nice and crispy— all the sides and sauces were amazing. Plus, the drinks were strong and tres leches not too sweet. The perfect end to our evening. Our barista was also so nice and serviced us well. Just make sure you take note that they automatically charge 20% tip on the bill. Thank you for a great time!
I’ve visited this location twice so far in late June and mid-July. I’ve only been to the location on Crescent Avenue. Each time I’ve visited they have not let me down. Both times they have been consistent with the service, hospitality, and especially the food. The last two times I went to the restaurant I didn’t have a long wait. The atmosphere is beautiful especially the bright colors and decorations. Warning the menu is so appealing you won’t know what to order. I’ve had the beef stew and the steak with white rice they were both delicious. I’m usually not one to finish my food at a restaurant but I ate every single bite. There was someone walking around taking pictures as well as another person walking around selling flowers. I can’t wait to go back to try more of their delicious meals. Try it I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I did. They accept cash or card. Everyone else also loved their food. This location is accessible via public transportation. The restaurant offers valet parking.
Very delicious Dominican food!
And this spot is clean, great service, great ambiance, attractive.. all that!
Never had mofongo until I visited here and it is really good. Simple, but flavorful. We also had the octopus a la brasas appetizer which was really good... both were just a bit small, wish we had more.
We sat at the bar and Ada was great!! She really knew her stuff and gave AMAZING recommendations of items to try off the menu that I never would have thought to order. A true gem. Please go on the weekends and sit at the bar to experience her great Hospitality.
Location: located in the little Italy part of the Bronx by St. Barnabas hospital.
Parking: street parking available(paid parking meters) can be difficult to park as area can be busy!
Didn't see valet parking available when we got there.
Food: 4 people/had 4 different orders!
1.Mofongo with ???? shrimp
2. steak with rice/beans/ plantains
3. Fried chicken with rice/beans
4. Baked chicken with rice/beans
Food was delicious! We all enjoyed!
Flavorful and good portion size!
Service: waitress was nice but not attentive!
She gave us our drinks and never came back to table to check on us for anything!
Food wait 20 -30 Mins!
We wanted drink refills. Had to ask at counter to get refills!
Atmosphere: restaurant has a cute feel. But music was blasting and was too loud!
Couldn't hear each other talking. Don't know if we were by a speaker but it wasn't pleasant to have music that loud!
Overall, very pleasing experience. The food and vibe was 10 out of 10. Almost felt like I took a trip back to the motherland.
We arrived to Ajo y Oregano at 4:30pm and if you look at the bill it it Was given to me at 7:12pm. By the time we received our change and left the restaurant from start to finish it was nearly 3 hours. A little over hour wait to be seated, nearly 45 min for food to be plated. I must note the food was good and plenty. Pica pollo/fried chicken was, according to waiter, the reason for the long wait; however still good. Please note and be aware of the 20% gratuity automatically added to bill AND not notified by waiter. I really hate when restaurants do this with what I believe is the hope that one does not notice and leave an additional 18-20% gratuity. Now Do I believe that the whole 3 hr experience merits a 20% gratuity? its a resounding NO!!! I understand it’s not the waiters fault but neither it’s mine and I feel that as a whole they should not be compensated 20% !!!
I want to start off by saying the bartender was amazing and her customer service was impeccable. Sadly, the food was a different story. I ordered the rib eye steak and was really disappointed. As pictured the steak was 60% fat & inedible. Literally like eating slime. 0 sear, 0 flavor, almost like they didn’t even try. I didn’t want to pay $38 for a plate of raw fat ????????. Probably will never come back again.
