Take Care Bistro — Restaurant in New York

After a long day out at Coney Island we were tired and didn't want to go too far from our hotel for dinner, so we decided we'd try the 'Take Care Bistro' at the hotel. The hotel receptionist said we didn't need to make a reservation so after a shower & change of clothes we went down into the restaurant, were immediately shown to a table and I was pleasantly surprised by the sophisticated decor and how atmospheric, inviting & cosy the restaurant was with dimmed lights and a small lighted candle on each table. We ordered the spiced carrot humus with grilled pitta breads to share as a starter, which was very light & tasty and was a great start to our meal. My wife had the BALT (bourbon pepper bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato) sandwich with a side of salad and a glass of Coney Island draft beer. The delicious, unique, smokey & hickory taste of the bourbon pepper bacon really elevated the sandwich to be the best BLT sandwich my wife has eaten. The tangy & peppery pickled vegetables in the salad also elevated it to a great tasty salad. I had the chicken snitzel with parsley butter & fries, which was a fabulous meal. The rich parsley butter combined with tangy lemon juice worked so well, soaked into the tender & moist fried breaded chicken. We didn't have any desert as we were full and the total bill of $80 was very good value for a fabulous meal served by our welcoming, friendly & efficient waiter in a...

We tried to visit this restaurant this morning as a walk-in 2-top. At most, half of their tables were occupied. We were told there would be a 15-minute wait (a bit surprising with all the open tables, but not a problem). We asked if we could sit at & order from the bar—where there were several open seats—and we were told that was for take-out only. Fine; all good…we said we’d wait. After waiting 5 minutes, the host came over and told us they wouldn’t be able to seat us today due to being short-staffed and referred us to one of their nearby locations. I saw them also do this to the only other people waiting (a trio including elderly folks with mobility issues, who clearly would have a challenging time navigating to another location). It was super disappointing. We would’ve been more than happy to wait 15-20 minutes for a table and even to get slow service if they had explained that (being short-staffed happens)…but to wholly turn us away when the restaurant didn’t look busy felt like terrible business. So just be warned, you should definitely make a reservation and even then, who knows if you’ll get served or turned away. We live in the area and were hopeful this could be our new “spot,” but we won’t be back after today’s disappointing...

I had an exceptional experience at Take Care bistro that I simply have to share! From the moment I walked in, the warm, cozy atmosphere enveloped me. The soft lighting, modern decor, and intimate setting created a perfect ambiance for a relaxing meal.

Daniela (the manager), Cesar, Christopher and Isabella were incredibly friendly and attentive, greeting me with a smile and offering great recommendations. The portions are generous, and every bite was perfection. The flavors were delicate but complex, with just the right balance of savory and subtle sweetness.

For dessert, I couldn’t resist trying the chocolate chip, which was smooth and had that perfect crispy caramelized top. The dessert was just the right end to an unforgettable meal.

What stood out to me the most, though, was the overall attention to detail — from the quality of the food to the atmosphere and service, everything was thoughtfully crafted to provide a delightful experience. It’s rare to find a place that truly hits all the marks, and this bistro did just that. I’ll definitely be...
