I was invited to The Black Ant for my cousin's birthday

4/5 by Guitelle S. on 04/07/2022

I was invited to The Black Ant for my cousin's birthday brunch. I liked that there was a private room just for our party so we can be as loud and tipsy as we wanted lol. So to start off we had guacamole and chips. The guacamole was pretty good but I was kinda annoyed that there wasn't enough for the whole table. It was just a taste really I was able to have. For my brunch entree I had the Chilaquiles which was absolutely delicious but once again skimpy on the amount they served and when you're drinking basically tequila and a splash of orange juice you need more than a spoonful of food lol. Now since I started with the drinks-we had a choice of margaritas and mimosas. I chose the margaritas which was strongggg. It didn't taste like a margarita at all lol but I guess it didn't matter once you're two margaritas in lol. All in all I had a fantastic time here.

😒

I've had this place on my list for so long - eating bugs?!

3/5 by Melissa L. on 04/03/2022

I've had this place on my list for so long - eating bugs?! yes please! Got a reservation fairly easily and there were lots of open tables when I went for dinner Saturday night. My friend and I ordered a few things to share and honestly... was a bit disappointed. The blank ant guacamole was the best thing we had. It was very delicious and barring the black specs (ants) tastes like a normal guacamole - don't think i tasted any bugs in any of the foods. 10/10 would come back for this. Everything else was okay - nothing special but not horrible. Won't be coming back for anything unless other friends want to try some bugs. Side note: during dinner there was one INCREDIBLY loud man at this bar that every single person could hear when he spoke. Comically annoying.

I have been here several times for brunch with a pulsd deal

4/5 by Malithi N. on 03/22/2022

I have been here several times for brunch with a pulsd deal - it included 2 entrees and 4 cocktails total. Portion sizes for brunch are a bit small, but they pack in the flavor! Love the margs as well. I definitely recommend sitting in the backyard area when the weather is good, the vibe is perfect!

🤮

Wanted to give this place an honest try.

It was the worst... terrible service all around

4/5 by Lucas A. on 02/28/2022

The food was though they were stingy with the portions, especially the tacos. The margarita pitchers were also some of the best I've ever had.

😍

Finally came here.

5/5 by Sam S. on 02/28/2022

I was very excited to try the insects. We ordered the ant guac and the grasshopper croquettes. I saw some reviews that said the guac didn't visibly have ants, but ours did. Maybe the restaurant served them based on preferences. Anyways, the guac and croquettes were delicious. I would say that the guac just tasted like a normal good guac, like I didn't taste any distinctive flavors from the ants. I loved the fried grasshopper they put on the croquettes. For main course, I ordered the octopus dish. The octopus was a bit rubbery in places but the sauce was delicious.

🤢

Went for brunch and they were completely out of chicken and steak. They offered no discount and rushed us out. Food was very mediocre

4/5 by Nicholas L. on 02/19/2022

I liked the atmosphere and the open wall concept during the summer. It's very "chic" mexican, not very authentic in my opinion, but still tasty. Go during happy hour for great margaritas!

😒

3/5 by Barbara R. on 02/13/2022

Didn't feel welcomed by the hostess, and the waiter and I weren't on the same page for service. The food was meh, the mimosas very juice based , very minimal on the Prosecco. When we ask the waiter to mix a stronger batch , he was annoyed. Not sure if I would come back to be ignored .

😍

Amazing amazing food.

5/5 by Emily B. on 02/03/2022

I've been a few times with my friends for happy hour and the apps and margaritas are fantastic. I have celiac and they had a plethora of gluten free options. The staff was knowledgeable. And the chips weee gluten free!

😍

A very interesting experience.

4/5 by Victor N. on 01/26/2022

This place has a great vibe and atmosphere! Drinks are delicious and refreshing. Only one thing through me off which is why I rated 4/5. Overall is a place I will come back to and would recommend.

They don't call this place the Black Ant for nothing!

4/5 by Kadeesha L. on 01/25/2022

They don't call this place the Black Ant for nothing! They're are actual insects in some of the dishes. Like the guacamole for example, it has black ants on top with pepitas and pomegranate seeds for that added crunch. Funny because my friend who frequents this place had no idea! Lol so that goes to show the taste is altered in no way at all, and the ants do add a nice crunchy topping to the otherwise smooth mushy gauc. Great friendly staff, make a reservation if you can because it is not that large inside and can fill up rather quickly. I got the chicken mole taco diner bc the chicken mole plate was not available. Still great mole! My friend enjoyed the octopus plate especially the puréed cauliflower, however he did mention the octopus could have been more crisp to subdue its chewy texture. Great smokey margaritas!

😍

Incredible Mexican food (but expensive)

5/5 by Eddie_Nero on 01/03/2022

The food here was excellent. Everything we had was very tasty - guacamole with chips, fish tacos and octopus. I can’t fault the food at all, portion sizes were large and everything was as expected.

As with most places in NYC, it was expensive. $16 for guacamole and chips… but every good Mexican we looked at was the same price.

So if you’re happy for the cost, I recommend this place!

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

😍 5/5 Review by CosmicLinen30 (02/24/2022 11:59 am)

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Made our trip to NYC

😍 5/5 Review by CloseFiction30 (11/10/2021 8:40 am)

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Hottest michelin star restaurant in DC

I just stumbled upon this site and within 24 hours of posting a bid for an impossible to get table at Delilah (on a holiday weekend no less), my reservation was confirmed! So easy to use and it worked flawlessly. Brilliant!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
