🇺🇸 ENGLISH REVIEW

We visited Lugo Lounge & Restaurant twice during our stay in New York – once for breakfast and once for an early lunch. In fact, this was the final restaurant we dined at before concluding our two-week American adventure – and it left a great impression.

The service was incredibly warm and welcoming, even though the staff spoke very little English. One waitress charmingly put it: “pokito English” – a moment we’ll never forget. 😊 Still, communication was smooth and heartfelt, and the experience felt genuine throughout.

The place is spotless, spacious, and well-designed, clearly doubling as a lounge bar in the evenings – you can sense it from the ambiance and stylish furnishings.

The food was flavorful, the portions large, and most importantly: the value for money was excellent. Whether you’re having their typical Dominican breakfast or dishes like the mushroom chicken (which I tried and totally recommend), everything is cooked with care and served generously.

It’s easy to access by foot or subway, and parking by car is also possible in the neighborhood – a big plus in NYC.

The only minor note: the music was slightly loud, but not disruptive.

If I’m ever back in New York, I will definitely look this place up again. A hidden gem with heart. Gracias, Lugo – y pokito English forever!

🇭🇺 MAGYAR ÉRTÉKELÉS

A Lugo Lounge & Restaurant vendéglátóhelyet kétszer is meglátogattuk New York-i utunk során – egyszer reggelire, egyszer pedig egy korai ebédre. Ez volt az utolsó étterem, ahol a kéthetes amerikai kalandunk végén egy kellemes ebéddel búcsúztunk a várostól.

A kiszolgálás rendkívül kedves és őszinte volt – a személyzet ugyan nem beszélt sok angolt, de ez egyáltalán nem csökkentette az élményt. Egy pincérhölgy mosolyogva mondta: „pokito English” – ezt biztosan sosem fogjuk elfelejteni. 😊

A hely tiszta, hangulatos, és látszik rajta, hogy este lounge bárként is üzemel – az enteriőr ennek megfelelően elegánsabb, stílusosabb.

Az ételek finomak voltak, az adagok kifejezetten nagyok, az ár-érték arány pedig kimondottan kedvező. A dominikai reggeli ízletes és laktató volt, az ebédnél én gombás csirkét ettem, amit nyugodt szívvel ajánlok bárkinek.

Könnyen megközelíthető gyalogosan és tömegközlekedéssel is, de ami külön jó hír: autóval is lehet parkolni a környéken – ami New Yorkban ritka kincs.

Egyetlen apróságként megemlítem, hogy a zene picit hangos volt, de semmiképp sem zavaró.

Ha legközelebb New Yorkban járok, biztosan újra fel fogom keresni ezt a helyet. Egy igazi helyi gyöngyszem. Köszönjük, Lugo – és pokito English örökre!

🇪🇸 RESEÑA EN ESPAÑOL

Visitamos Lugo Lounge & Restaurant dos veces durante nuestra estancia en Nueva York: una vez para el desayuno y otra para un almuerzo temprano. De hecho, fue el último restaurante en el que comimos antes de concluir nuestras dos semanas de viaje, y fue una experiencia muy agradable.

El servicio fue muy amable y auténtico, incluso si el personal hablaba poco inglés. Una camarera nos dijo sonriendo: “pokito English” – una frase que jamás olvidaremos. 😊 Aun así, la comunicación fue clara y con mucha calidez humana.

El lugar es muy limpio, moderno y se nota que por las noches funciona como lounge bar – el diseño del mobiliario y la ambientación así lo reflejan.

La comida estaba muy sabrosa, con porciones abundantes y, sobre todo, una excelente relación calidad-precio. El desayuno dominicano típico fue delicioso, y para el almuerzo yo pedí pollo con champiñones, que recomiendo con toda confianza.

Es fácil llegar caminando o en metro, y además se puede estacionar cerca en auto – lo cual es una gran ventaja en Nueva York.

El único detalle: la música estaba un poco alta, pero no arruinó la experiencia.

Si vuelvo a Nueva York, definitivamente regresaré a este lugar. Una joya local con alma. ¡Gracias, Lugo – y pokito English...

I placed an order earlier today via Uber eats. It was for a whole chicken and a side. The order was accepted and 20 minutes later I received a phone call from a female employee who stated that they no longer had whole chickens as they ran out. She further commented that they only had two pieces of chicken (thighs) left and I had ordered a whole so they didn’t even have enough. I asked her to please cancel the order. She said that I had to cancel on my end. We got off the phone and proceeded to cancel on Uber. I was charged as if they delivered the order to me. Customer support was unable to refund me saying that the restaurant is responsible for cancelling the order if they do not have an item and they had not done so. Per Uber it appeared as if the restaurant had completed preparing my meal by the time I cancelled. This was incorrect as I obviously never received anything and my cancellation was upon restaurant’s instructions since they did not have what I ordered. I called back the restaurant to explain what happened. I was told by staff they couldn’t help me. I reexplained the situation several times and was eventually told I’d be called back. I was never called back ! I should not be charged for food that was never prepared or...

A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'

The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.

Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is...
