5 Best American Restaurants in Long Island City

“Good food! Loved the grilled octopus and branzino -- a must try! Lobster pasta was tasty but it was a bit on the sweeter side; I would skip it next time. Focaccia was unique but I think it's a bit overhyped. Overall, service was friendly, food was good, and the ambiance was chill. I would definitely go back.“

“Definitely the best cocktail bar in Astoria at this moment. Best place for a friend gathering or a date. The few places in Astoria where you can talk to someone without shouting over the music, while still having privacy with the volume level.The vibes, the exceptional service that you can’t really find anywhere, my group of 6 friends were accommodated last minute no problem. Rare find. Recommend to anyone looking for an intimate place in this area. Great bar selection!“

“The apps and entree are terrific!!Mike, the bartender, knows his stuff and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!@Parking: The parking lot is small but lots of street parking is available. But who cares the drinks, bartender, and food are terrific!!“

“The food is simply amazing. My boyfriend and I ordered French onion soup (I was shocked at how good it was!), a burger, and a Cobb Salad. It was so delicious, the best thing after arriving in New York :)) The tea is also very tasty! I recommend!“

“Popped in here for a quick brunch bite & received great service from our waiter Rick. Cool spot, loved the 70/80s music, spacious bathrooms, and tasty food. The pumpkin waffles and buttermilk chicken was filling & the berry compote pancakes were fluffy & tasty. Drinks were generously portioned and strong. Worth a visit if you’re in town.“
