    tl;dr nice atmosphere, confused concept, okay food.

    I believe that when the owners of this place envisioned what it will be, they thought, "let's make a place where everybody can find something they like". And so, they serve dumplings, and tacos, and chicken wings, and pasta. And just like that, without noticing, they accidentally re-invented the American staple that is... the diner.

    But, at least from my dining experience there, none of the food is "specialty". It's palatable and generic. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad. It's really decent. But this is not where I would send you for "fish tacos" ($9) nor for "thai red curry" ($19). It's a good place to visit if you really want American and your friend really wants Italian (or Thai, or Mexican, or Chinese, or French, or Spanish). But the food almost certainly won't blow your mind.

    At the end of the day, this place has a really nice atmosphere with decent food. Not for me, but maybe you.

    P.s. I do feel somewhat bad for posting a non-glowing review when I know so many businesses are struggling, but I do think my experience may inform future diners for the better.

    A mix of excellent foods from all types of cuisine. There are tapas and non-tapas options. It's a sister restaurant for Calaveras - an excellent Mexican restaurant a few blocks away - but Calaveras Corner is definitely not a Mexican restaurant. We had the potato soup, burger, and fish tacos. All were superb.

    New spot on UWS, located where The Ellington used to be. Good setup for both indoor and outdoor distanced dining. I can tell they are still tightening up their operations, and woking on their liquor license (only beer & wine for now). Overall, the service was friendly and the food was tasty. I had the All American Calaveras burger, which was a good sized portion and came out quickly. They also did a good job of checking everyone's temperatures as they were seated. I'll give them a month or so to smooth out their operations before I return.

    New little gem! Food quality was amazing for the price and service was exceptional!! I recommend the crab cakes and chorizo with naan bread
