I tried the slow cooked oaxtails with rice and peas. All I can say is wow. This has to be the by far the best oaxtails I ever had. The rice and peas was very flavorful. The cabbage was good. I also tried the vegan jerk chicken meal. Wow. The owner Alvin came over and spoke with me. Heโs a very nice
I was here for a private event that was more about the gathering of the people than the food. For this reason, I wanted something light.
The food is good and the people including the staff and owners are such a great vibe! You immediately feel like you are amongst friends who could be your family.
We had a great time at Alvin and Friends. The service was amazing and Alvin himself was walking around greeting guests. It was really welcoming and I liked all the paintings. They had a live trio with piano, drums and saxophone which was fun. The food was delicious. I appreciated the vegan section o
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 wal
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 foo
Always a vibe. Great service too. Food is great, esp Oxtail, Mac and cheese. Alvin's is ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Update. 2022
The oxtail is not the same anymore. Tastes much sweeter than I'd like. Still a good grown vibe and environment, but the food is not rocking the boat much.
I came here for the first time on a date. The ambiance was nice and when we were there (a Saturday night) there was live music that really added to the experience!
Both of us, individuals who are quite particular when it comes to food and service were extremely happy. The menu had a nice variety
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 out
First off, it was great to go to a venue where the atmosphere was inviting from the beginning. Since it is New Rochelle, you will be paying for parking but the New Roc area is still a must. But the focus is on this establishment with its decor including fine wood placement that gives it that cool vi
My Aunty's Birthday party was at this venue, so my relatives have been coming here for years. My first visit. Attentive staff, DJ on hand (hired for the party), and even shared dance moves with the owner. Varied menu & great atmosphere. Recommend!!
I enjoyed the live band. The food was good. However the waiter never came to check up on us to see how we were doing. I had to ask another waiter to see where our waiter was to ask for a the check. Took off half a point for that. Other than that, I had a nice time, in a nice environment. I rate 3.5
Yummifabulous! What a wild blend of Southern and Caribbean cuisine from several different islands. The wine selection will please all those who know. Warm cozy feel even though it is spacious. Everyone smiles as if they all know and like each other, patrons, servers, live musiciansโ it must be the t
Had a great time at Alvin and Friends. Chose it for my birthday brunch today and it did not disappoint. Alvin was front and center with a warm greeting and heart left conversation. And not for nothing, while Alvin IS the OWNER, he was still making sure customers had what they needed. The music was g
Food was great, service was excellent and we got to meet Alvin. Plus there was a jazz band performing. It was an awesome evening experience.
This place is A-MAZING!! The music and ambience is so cool. Alvin does all the artwork. Super cool! We shared the black bean avocado salad w ginger vinaigrette dressing (light, not overpowering) and the fried chicken and smoked turkey greens. Iโm from Louisiana.. spent time in the Caribbean.. and
I had a truly amazing time at Alvin & Friends. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home and with a great meal. Definitely try the jerk duck!
This place gave me New Orleans vibes!
The food, the music, the ambiance and atmosphere was 5 star! The entire family had a great time and it was good to see the owner walking around, interacting with guest and gave me a real personable feel of caring for the customer and his establishment. Now I jus
