Route 100 Wine Bar & Grill

Food is decent, management and service earnest, if not attentive. Overall, though and sadly, the restaurant matches its exterior and location– dated and in need of attention and upgrade.

The owner served us on a slow night. The menu in most regards would be considered excellent. The food itself matches the variety and quality of the menu. As a foodie I am quite impressed with the unique menu and service. They have been in business 7 years. I will definitely be back.

We came here for lunch and there was only 1 other table occupied. We had the grilled chicken sandwich and the Meditteranean chicken. Both dishes were just okay. They were not special but no complaints. The food took awhile to arrive but when it did the food was piping hot. That was a plus because some restaurants make you wait for near room temperature food. Our server was a mixed review. He was attentive. He kept our water glasses full, asked if we wanted more bread when we finished it all, and took care of the check quickly. He gave the type of attention you expect from a near empty restaurant. His attitude was weird. You could tell by his actions that he cared but he spoke like he really did not care. I asked about the sandwich and he just kept replying «Yes» to every question but then backtracked to change some answers when I was getting confused. He then got impatient and wanted to know if I was going to order the sandwich or not. Honestly, I’d rather have him over other servers who smile and are polite and never refill our waters or take 20 minutes to handle the check.

I have been coming here for two years. Great place in a bad location. The food is excellent, well proportioned and reasonably priced. The service especially the bartender Jasmine is second to none. I encourage you to try the place. Ask for Norberto, the owner and be prepared to become part of the family,

Came here for dinner about a year ago, it was very good, so we returned. I think the business must have gone through some changes. I went back within the last month for dinner and was not impressed at all. Wine glasses that sit on the table were dirty and then were placed back on the shelf. The salt shaker (half full had stuff stuck to the outside of it). Not to mention when I sat down I had to brush a bunch of pieces of something? off my chair. The marinara sauce was very liquidy– watered down I assume. I did not feel the salmon was fresh– but kinda rubbery. The portion of pasta they give for the price was very small– come on how much does pasta really cost? We paid, left, won’t be returning.
I could see there were simple things that needed tending to within the restaurant (I’m not going to list) but the manager was talking to someone and the waiter/​bartender was watching tv while tending to both tables in the restaurant at the time. The manager did not ask us how everything was.
The food was just ok and waiter was pleasant and attentive– so we did not complain, but we did agree we will not be returning, I did enjoy my first dinner here last year though.

I found the place during a search for a great Valentine Date. My experience was great; the ambiance was romantic with live music and excellent customer service. The food was fresh and delicately seasoned and prepared. It’s a hole in a wall that would surprise anyone and the owner was very cordial and friendly with diners. My date and I stood there past consumption of our meals. I will most definitely revisit the place soon.

Once and for all everyone, please stop saying everything is a «hidden gem». Life is not a treasure hunt and you are not a pirate who has «stumbled upon» a chest of diamonds. Burp up an original thought once in awhile.
Route 100 needs to remove the «oven dried/​sun-​dried» tomatoes from its menu in every dish. They ruined everything they touched. Ordered cosmos and wiahed we hadn’T. Service was fine. Bar had a hot– to –trot old red head trying to get laid, hootin’ and hollerin’ for her life at the soccer game.
Oh honey please take a seat — they are all empty.

I’ve always enjoyed this place. It’s true that the location lacks something, and it doesn’t look one the outside like it does on the inside, but once inside, it’s a pleasure. I’m not an oenophile, but I admire what appears to be a good selection of wines. I’ve enjoyed the food, and found the service good, although not always stellar. I have been there several times and plan to return regularly.

The seafood cake was awesome along with the spinach and artichoke was also as good. The chicken rotinella was delicious. Then had a cappuccino with the crème bruele was great. Definitely recommend this place.

Awesome wine selection! Not much to look at from the outside but pleasantly surprised when entering the restaurant. The servers were adequate and the food was excellent. Our steaks were done to perfection and our side dishes were tasty as well. Will definitely go back and they also have specials depending the night. Definitely a doable choice for a date night since it doesn’t get too noisy and you can have a conversation. The only suggestion for improvement is that they have a more innovative app selection.

Have been going a few times and the food and service was always a plus. The salmon dish is my fav on top of many others. My boyfriend always has to order a million things because hard to choose the best dish. All are so good!
Norberto is very accommodating and friendly. We often spend quite a few $ and we occasionally get a few drink buy backs which is nice. Shows customer appreciation :)
I will continue going. Wish they had delivery service!

Solid food, good service, you wouldn’t assume that this place had pretty good food considering it’s location! (Strip mall on Central avenue)
My chicken martini was quite tasty!

Excellent service. Warm bread and water was always full. I had a chicken dish stuffed with spinach any mushrooms with a lemon sauce, it was delicious! My boyfriend’s jimbalya was equally tasty. Would definitely return for another try.

Food is incredible! The fried zucchini and spring rolls are delicious. Def must have the white sangria. It packs a punch and is incredibly tasty as well! One of the best restaurants in Yonkers!

Went there using a Groupon. We had the Pockie Tuna Tartar as an app and the Seafood Jambalaya and the Strip Mall Chicken for entrees.
Food was excellent and the staff was outstanding!
Someone mentioned they had to pay cash because of Groupon but I had no problem using my Amex.

We went here with a party of 8. All but one of the of the meals were flavorful and beautifully presented. One meal the flat iron steak special was ordered medium rare and it came out the first time medium well. It was sent back and came out too rare and bland. But overall this was a good dining experience. I would recommend it. The menu is eclectic ands the service was good.
I’ll bet that business would pick up if they changed the sign. If you didn’t know it was there it would never catch your eye from Central Park Ave.

WHAT A HIDDEN GEM!!!
I went there last night because of a groupon offer that they did… the place is in a strip mall and does does not look like much from the outside… what a nice surprise when i sat down!!! VERY VERY nice inside, beautiful restrooms, VERY nice staff… and the food was VERY VERY good. it was a pleasure and will be added to go to spots… Unilocalers this is a good spot to check out !!!

Went around 9 pm on a recent Friday. From the strip mall parking lot, the exterior made me think there might be a pool table inside, with dim lights and a dark décor. It was a nice surprise that the dining room was bright and nicely decorated although it was empty except for 3 people at the bar and a table of 2 in the dining room.
The service was friendly and attentive. Food was okay to good.
Appetizer: Fried calamari — good but not plentiful. The marinara sauce was better than the tartar sauce. Fried zucchini was sliced into little crispy strips. Good but wish we had much more!
Entrees: Linguini al Truffle was yummy for the vegetarian at the table. Chicken Martini had two breasts on a mound of mashed potatoes. The chicken was good as were the potatoes but I think the potatoes were from a box.
This place would be good w a Groupon but otherwise, I don’t need to come back.

Went there awhile ago. The food was good. The service was just okay. I present my Groupon to the waiter and was told that they only accept cash when a Groupon is used. Luckily there is a branch of my bank next door. I had to go to an ATM to get cash to settle the bill. I won’t buy a Groupon for this restaurant again.

I had such a delicious meal at Route 100. The mediterranean chicken was so so good… I am hoping to go back there soon and have the same dish.
Thank You Route 100
