Beef & Fish — Restaurant in New York

Review on Beef & Fish Upon arrival my daughter and I took our temperatures and inquired about a menu. There was a man who I assume was a staff member already sitting in the indoor dining area (who later had an open beer and a 6-pack when I went back in). So we asked if the restaurant was doing indoor dining. We were told that we could only sit outdoors. Since the weather was fairly nice, we agreed to eat outdoors. After ordering, we were asked to tip, even though my daughter wanted to have the food to take away. However we couldn't eat outdoors with the take away option because chairs had to be brought outside as none of the outdoor tables had chairs. The hostess/cashier/waitress brought out the chairs. Afterwards, I went to go wash my hands. When I came out of the restroom, I looked in the kitchen to see how my food was being prepared. A man in the kitchen then closed the door, so I couldn't see anything. He walked outside where we were, went into a store next to the restaurant, and continued to walk back and forth throughout our duration dining at the restaurant. I was really uncomfortable, because I felt like he was watching us. He never said anything to ease tensions or ask if we needed help. While we were eating, our waitress didn't make an appearance. The restaurant wasn't busy either. After eating, I went inside for the tops of the to go containers that we were already eating from. A family of 4 came in with masks and just sat inside. I looked bewildered 🤔, because I was wondering how they were able to eat indoors when we had to sit outside. I asked the waitress if they were her family members. And of course she said yes which I'm sure she lied about. The family didn't greet her or appear to know her. They simply looked at the menu like any other customers would do. I was a little jaded and told my daughter what happened. She went back in to wash her hands again and she agreed that they didn't look like they knew each other. Long story short, the food was fine but they discriminate on who can be served inside. Smh it's 2020 when will this...

Food was ok, waiter was eating the entire time I was and I tried for about 5 minutes to get his attention for a drink. I wasn't even 1/4 finished with my food when he came up to me and asked if I wanted the check. When I did finally ask for the check, I gave him my debit card and he asked for my ID. The rice I was given was in a small plastic cup and I was also given another incredibly small plastic plate. I don't think these were the actual serving plates judging by seeing what the waiter was eating off of. The couple next to me was asian and they also paid with card and they weren't asked for ID. Felt very insulting when I was nothing but polite. I even gave him over 25% tip after everything that happened. Really a shame cause I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and the...

My girlfriend and I came to this place to try their mala xiang guo, dry hot pot. Ingredients was ok fresh, service was good the waitress was also doing phone orders as well as packing deliveries, multitasking and so we feel for her.

Dry hot pot was on the salty side, not very spicy even tho we got medium spice. They added celery, which was interesting, I liked it.

They also have sliced onions, i didn’t like, but they were easy to pick out therefore not an issue. Fried rice was mushy, but tasted good, eggs flavored.

Cumin beef was not good, i only tasted the silver plate that it was on... They were doing promo, the lemon tea drink was free with a wechat...
