Looking for a spot to host a celebration for up to 50 family members? Alvin & Friends. Where can you have an after-church jazz brunch with your peeps? Alvin & Friends. A cute place with intimate corners to pop the question? Alvin & Friends. The food is nice, the vibes are always right, and the artwork on the walls are for sale courtesy of the owner/artist. Also, there’s parking right across the street.
Celebrated my daughter's birthday with a Sunday Great menu, good food. Alvin stopped by to say hello. They had the live entertainment to sing Happy Birthday . We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Even ordered food for dinner!
The owner was wonderfully nice, the servers did an excellent job. Food was great all around and served very fresh. Live music was a ton of fun. Cannot recommend enough.
Black owned and operated with a stellar vibe. We settled in to the cozy setting after a short walk from the garage. There was a set up of a band and a black piano to the right as we walked in. We had a reservations so we were seated quickly. Once seated it was easy to admire the black art on the wall that was actually painted by the owner… how neat is that! Our first encounter we were greeted with corn bread squares that were moist and sweet. As we nibbled we were all so impressed by the tablets that served as menus. Our appetizers consisted of mango wings ( a little spicy), calamari (crispy) and codfish fritters were just tasty bites! The drinks of choice was Jamaican rum punch which gave a very nice kick. The other drink Alvin’s punch was not the favorite for our group. The after taste wasn’t appealing. The Restaurant Owner/Artist came by and introduced himself giving our experience a personalized touch. All of the food was great! The collards were a lil spicy for us but it kept your tastes buds woke. I definitely would go again the ambiance was outstanding!
Alvin & Friend is a nice, warm and cozy place. The ambience and decors are amazing (The wall arts are painted by the owner himself - Or so I heard). The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is superb and there is (paid) parking literally right out front. They offer indoors and outdoor dining. Not sure whether that's typical, but I went on a Saturday and they had a live band playing. The food is good. Feels like a mix between Cajun and Soul food. The only areas where I wish for improvement are the food seasoning (I was missing that kick that one usually gets from eating Cajun food) and the price of food (definitely on the pricey side). Overall, I and a great time at Alvin & Friend and definitely felt like I was a long time Friend!
We were late for our reservation due to high volume traffic Friday night on I95. My friend explained that to the welcoming Hostess who expressed understanding with a smile and immediately sat us. As we were escorted to our table, I was captivated by the artistic expression and remnants that dressed the walls and ceiling to this soulful jazzy gem. Hospitality oozed with ease from our attentive servers and by the establishment’s owner, Alvin, who graciously stop at our table for introduction and pleasantries. Like Alvin, the drinks and food presented and consumed were simply amazing and left a delightful taste.
Another spectacular meal at Alvin & Friends. A lovely atmosphere was to be had this Valentine's Day with live music on the piano, nice furnishings, and even nicer company.
The artwork is really something else and is lovely to behold on the walls. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive. The food will blow you away and in my times coming here has never failed to satisfy. If you want one of the best dining experiences in New Rochelle come to Alvin & Friends!
Went to Alvin and Friends today and had the pleasure of meeting Alvin. I ordered the bake & shark to go, and Alvin asked for my honest feedback on it since it was recently added to the menu, so here it is...
The bake&shark was delicious and probably the closet you'll get to Trinidad bake & shark while in New Rochelle! I wish I'd order 2!! Great job on the flavors, and the bake itself was soft and not greasy! I give it 2 thumbs up!!
