“The ambiance is stylish and comfortable, and the dishes are exquisite?We chose the ?$100 pp Omakase for 2 and also ordered a few appetizers and nigiri a la carte.The appetizers include a steamed egg—soft and smooth, with the sauce flavor just right—you can order it with added Uni.Since every ingredient was so fresh and sweet, we couldn't resist ordering more scallop, uni, and wagyu nigiri to satisfy our cravings～The cocktails were fruity and very professionally made?. The dessert's cheesecake has sesame flavor?Check this place out‼️“
“wanted to check out a speakeasy while in town and came across the newsroom on tiktok, due to their “stuff your own empanada experience”. nestled in a quiet area of queens, with easy access.lovely speakeasy ambiance with an aerialist performer & live vocal performances. the music they play is all jazzy covers of hit songs, so it fits the vibe so well.the empanadas and the filet mignon taquitos, were so tasteful and delicious.they give you a very decent amount of time to be there, in order to make room for more people. our server Alberto couldn’t have been kinder and more accommodating to our preferences & needs while there.would recommend this to anyone looking for a laid back speakeasy outside of the hustle and bustle of the major city or times square.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Astoria! My husband and I always bring friends and family here when they visit the neighborhood. The staff is always so incredibly nice and generous (Miljan is usually our server and is so attentive and hilarious). We always have a wonderful time here, whether it’s a quiet weekday lunch or a packed Saturday night.“
“What an incredible find! I love Thai food and this is hands-down the best Thai restaurant in NYC. The entire staff was so friendly and accommodating and took great care to make sure we had a wonderful experience. Even the chef came out to greet us and make sure he got the spicy levels right for each of our dishes. I had the Pad See Ew with vegetarian duck, which was the best I have ever had. Highly recommend!!!!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian duck (in the pad see ew) is the best I have ever had!!“
“First time coming and I had an amazing time Gary was my server and he accommodated us in every way he was great ?Customer service 10/10. I had steak and Eggs. Eggs scrambled could have been better but the steak and home fries 10/10. I recommend. Music is mostly spanish music but it a vibe they mix it up. If you thinking about coming just come the view is nice too.“
“929 is hands down my favorite bar in nyc - the place is cozy and full of personality. The drinks are also simply amazing. I highly recommend Not the Melon You Know and Natsu No Breeze if you are looking for cocktails that are refreshing and sweet (but not too sweet)! I also love their fried platter.“
“We came in by accident when we were riding a ferry from Manhattan. It's a great place. I really liked it here. Interior , dishes . The waiter served us quickly and advised us to try the fish, as I said that I love fish. Indeed, the food here is delicious, so I would like to recommend the restaurant to friends.“
“My cousin had her 40th Birthday here and it was amazing. The manager Glen and his staff were top notch. We definitely kept the bartenders busy. The atmosphere is cute sitting was booths and also high tables & chairs. I would highly recommend this place for a private function. Thanks again to Glen and his amazing team.“
“Yea, this place is amazing. We were looking for a quick bite in LIC on a hot day. We were able to sit down before the kitchen break at 3:30pm to order entrees. We sat in the outdoor seating area, which had great jungle ambiance. Servers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great cocktail menu. Started off with a few drinks, the pisco sours were amazing. We tried the ceviche mixto and arroz con mariscos, fresh and delicious seafood. There is limited but parking available! Overall, great food, beautiful interior decor, great service, and decent pricing for the area.“
“I had an amazing time at this speakeasy! My group of 4 had a reservation.I think the expectations are pretty clear- if you expect to walk-in to an exclusive speakeasy, go early; if you're wish to go later, get a resy. People will be turned away if they're at capacity, especially if a big reservation is booked. It doesn't matter if your friends are inside- they have to follow code.The vibe is REALLY fun- it feels like a swanky house party with awesome music and drinks. I think the service was great for how busy it was. I only drank is beers, but my friends had fun cocktails and shots. Everyone is so friendly.They also put a gratuity charge on larger party's bills, so that's helpful.I love speakeasies. Cannot recommend RRLIC enough!“
“Small and friendly local Thai restaurant where service is attentive and the dishes are always flavorful and on point. Have ordered numerous menu options and the chef never disappoints. Highly recommend ?I would add a photo but it would just be of a bunch of very empty plates.“
“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. This was our second time here and it has quickly become one of our goto places in Astoria. From the greeting at the door to the selection of great wine and cocktails- all unique because the are craft brews- to the staff answering our many questions about the very different and delicious menu to the quality of the food- an awesome experience. Last week we were there and enjoyed live jazz and the musicians mingled and talked with us. The decor is very comfortable. Looking forward to attending the special event nights, too. See you next week- if not before!!“
“Early March my and wife and I held a baby shower there. They were extremely accommodating with us and our guest. They also were very friendly and it worked out very well. We had families and most of the ladies at the tables and we had filled the bar with our drinkers and younger crowd.Music was good/ food was good / service was great! Anne was such a great manager worked hand in hand with our coordinator to make that day such a great experience.Overall 10/10 would highly recommend your next event there.“
“This is my first time at this restaurant. My friend found it for us and he specifically picked it because he heard it had good cocktails. we ordered four different cocktails. All of them were pretty good. I wish I remembered the names of them but the blue cup with the pink outside was one that was my favorite. By far the ceviche was bomb. The guac a little bit of flavor for me, but mixing it with the ceviche made that even pretty darn good. Really enjoyed the fish taco over the other two pictured. we got the Maduros which were fresh and yuka fries. we also got the octopus which I thoroughly enjoyed. The chipotle, shrimp in the pineapple was honestly not my favorite. My friend really enjoyed it as he enjoyed sweet dishes, but it was too sweet for me. Overall, I definitely recommend a place. Definitely get the ceviche and the octopus! And I'm not even a big seafood person to say that. The service was great, and while we were there, the waiter even gave us a shot on the house. So check it out.“
“A nearly perfect combination of ambiance and food. Got there at 7pm on a Saturday night and was able to snag a table for two. Ordered the ricotta, honey, and pepperoni pizza. It was close the best pizza of its kind I have ever had. Generous selection of wines and smart cocktails. Pastas are also very good. Reasonably priced. Just an overall well executed restaurant.“
“Lady provided great service? Food, drinks were all delicious. Had fries and fried shrimp to start. Salmon and fried rice both infused. Fried rice wasn’t as flavorful as I wanted but salmon was cooked perfectly with great taste. The lemonade and strawberry cheesecake were both sweet and yummy. I will definitely return next “
“It was date night!!! Double date night that is. My close boy and I planned a secret double date with our significant other. They did not know it was a double until we met up at the door of Salvaje social club. let me just say the ambiance did not disappoint at all, the wild jungle theme had me loving every minute of my walk in and stay. Throughout the night the smoke machine would random blow smoke give the place a misty look. The music was pumping all night long and kept us in an upbeat vibe. The selection of music was mainly Spanish music, they did sprinkle in some English music but for most the night it was reggaeton etc. Although I didn't understand what was being said I surely loved the beat of every song that played. The staff at salvaje was very quick, informative of the menu, polite and friendly. We started off with the seeds of passion which was very tasty and strong. We did two rounds of that drink, couldn't get enough of it lol. I then had a Hennessy and pineapple juice , I don't know what pineapple juice was used but it was so good along with the Hennessy. For starters we had the shrimp toastadas and let me tell you it was amazing , I highly recommend it. Two of us ordered the Milton's rice and the other two ordered chicken on the cut. The rice was well fried and seasoned along with the shrimp, it was just a bit salty but i still loved it, the food really did not let me down at all. We stuck around after eating to drink more and dance a bit during our stay. I'll give Salvaje a 10/10 for vibes 10/10 for drinks 9/10 for Food 10/10 for service 10/10 for ambiance“

“I was asked to leave tonite due to an incident with a friend of mine a few weeks ago. I feel extremely apologetic and I must admit the bartender handled it with class. I will respect their wishes to not return but also I want to apologize for any incident that made the staff feel unworthy. This is a great bar with great cocktails and I only wish them the best. I'm sad because I was hoping for this to be my new fave local. All the best! I hope no hard feelings.“
“Great service from Yesica. She was very kind, helper, and patient with my order. She took care of us so much, and those tacos were so delicious that I would come back as soon as possible. Keep in mind that if you want to eat and listen to great latin music, this is the right place,I recommend this please 100%“
“Loved the Tacos and cocktails we had here this last taco Tuesday. We loved the vibes at this spot too, fun artwork lines the walls and it’s super cozy!Highly recommend trying the Salmon Dish, the Birria tacos and the Azteca soup — it is perfectly seasoned!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service provided by our server, Rochelle, was outstanding. Rochelle warm demeanor and attentiveness made our meal truly enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured that all our needs were met throughout the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“Can you say “las Catrinas” after a few of these delicious must cocktails , in a gringo acento ?This is and will be an Astoria icon.When the aliens arrive , this will be their first stop , bc the food and drinks its out of this world.GPAR our sever (hard to rsvp as well ) just an amazing person, always smiling always there when you need him , just like Superman!Cheers and thank you guys !“
“What a charming, lovely (and delicious!) spot with good vibes and excellent service. We enjoyed ALL of our food. We were scraping the bowl on the guacamole.Such a delightful surprise and highly recommend for families, friends, and couples. Great vibes all around.Kid-friendliness: Has a kids menu with something for all palates and fun "cubes" for the kids water.“
“Enjoyed date night at the rooftop bar to catch sunset. Amazingly friendly and attentive service. Decent decor with fantastic views. Turns out it's not really a restaurant, they only have small bites of mixed quality -- think spinach artichoke dip, 10" pizzas and shellfish. Cute but not dinner. Super loud/terrible live music ruined the sunset patio, we moved to the other side for ocean views which were more serene. If they had a more full menu and toned down the live music it'd be a gem.“
“Food amazing, staff amazing, hospitality amazing. Everything was very fresh, seafood cooked perfectly and the corn nuts are fun. Came with a large party and Tito took care of us, if you’re on the fence about dining here, you shouldn’t be.“
“This place is the spot for a perfect date night or chilling with a small group of friends.The drinks are popping and the food is really good.We order the happy hour oysters (great choice) the home made bread ( nice and warm came with 4 pieces) the slow baked salmon and the lobster roll. Everything was perfect. Definitely would come back.We paid for parking across the street and they have once bathroom (I noticed people getting up and having to wait for the one bathroom)“
“Great happy hour, beautiful decor, yummy small plates, friendly service. If ONLY they didn’t pump this musky woody cologne scent into the air. I still smell it in my hair from last night and I can’t escape it. Would have given five stars if not for the smell.“
“I went to the Sweet Sap today with my mom. We were having a lunch for her birthday. The restaurant’s beautiful, spacious, and clean. My mom drank a Sprite. She ate Chicken Katsu with Rice. Whereas I drank a lemonade and ate a Fried Shrimp Burger. Overall, I paid under $60 (including a $10 tip)!Definitely coming back one day.“
“Me and my girlfriend have lived around this area for two years and just stumble upon this restaurant, it was a great experience! Good food, great service and even though it was not crowded since we went at around 3 pm on a cold Thursday, the music was great and it was enjoyable. Happy to find gems like this in my community!“
“Nothing better than finding a neighborhood spot with great food and drinks. My twin and I come here frequently (with friends) and the service/food is always exceptional. Enrique, the manager always takes great care of us. See you soon Citrico!“
“The food was excellent with really good flavors and at a super reasonable price point. For apps, we got the veggie samosas, which were excellent. We got the chicken tikka masala and the truffle korma with chicken for mains with a side of garlic naan and paratha.the garlic naan was INSANE- so light, crispy, and fluffy at the same time. i literally could have eaten two orders. out of the two chickens we got- definitely recommend the chicken tikka masala. It definitely a small spot, with limited space. You also get served with paper plates and take out containers, which we didn’t mind, but just a heads-up.I definitely recommend for take out and will be back!“
“Definitely more of a local bar. Feels sort of divey with still a nice ambiance to it. We snagged a high top and had a cocktail which was good but required a bit of a wait. It definitely gets crowded and they check IDs at the door. Everybody knew everybody here so we felt a bit out of place but still a decent spot to grab a drink!“
“Absolutely loved this restaurant!!!The ambiance is so beautiful, the staff is attentive & polite. The Street corn … omg sooo yummy. And the Margarita with the passion fruit popsicle was to die for.I didn’t have reservations, just showed up & got seated right away.Will definitely come again.Vegetarian options: There’s guacamole & chips & Mexican street corn.“
“Dropped in here a few weeks ago for some drinks and catching up with my friend that lives nearby. I think I had passed this a bunch of times in my adventures of going to Jackson Heights but never checked it out. One perk automatically, there's a check in special of a complimentary glass of Sangria! I haven't seen a check-in special in you don't know how long. It was really exciting. I went with the red sangria and then later ordered their take on a smoked old fashioned. Both were very potent and delicious. The aroma of the old fashioned was amazing. We also ended up getting a flan desert. Now this is going to sound ridiculous but I normally hate flan and this was really delicious. It had a texture that wasn't too jiggly and just creamy surrounded with beautiful strawberries and layered with caramel. It was almost more like a custard and I'll take custardy flan over jello flan every day. Their menu and brunch menu sounds delicious and would definitely think about coming back to try more.“
“Hot spot on Ditmars any given day of the week! My friend and I came on a Thursday for an embroidery class that was given by Caitlyn from Lemon water studios. The class was in the covered outdoor area in the back. It started at 6:30pm which meant that the sun started to set on us early on into the class and it kinda hindered our eyesight with the needle and thread embroidery business going on so we had to make use of little lamps that were given to us. It was a fun event that I would definitely recommend.We enjoyed mojitos and Korean bbq chicken sandwiches with fries…..yum!“
“First time here. Party of nine. The food was delicious, the drinks were good. Good ambience. Great staff. I would definitely come again.Kid-friendliness: Very nice ambience, friendly staff. Delicious food! A great place to come and eat. We all had a great time. I would definitely come again.“
“I’ve been coming here for a couple years now at this point. I’ve celebrated intimate birthdays here. I’ve eaten alone, with others it doesn’t matter. You guys do really great work and it can’t be easy. There’s only a few places where I don’t care what anything costs, Plein Air is that for me. Leaving with my heart and stomach full.“
“I have been to this place several times now and after the first time that I came I will always bring a new friend. I really like this place because first off the atmosphere is banging. It's very beautiful with its futuristic vibe and ocean theme, its magic video walls constantly provide a diverse feast for the eyes. The food and cocktails are wonderful and I love the karaoke! I can't wait to sing to you.“
“Very good service, the girl who served me was very friendly, she was always attentive to me, she treated me very well, I loved her service, the order was prepared very quickly, they didn't make you wait so long and the food was very good by the way, the drink too very good, pina coladas recommended. I liked!!!Kid-friendliness: The place is good to go and share with the family, very safe.“
“This place is a gem among a very busy borough of bars and lounges. I went with a girlfriend in February to catch up. I had first come here years over eight years ago and was so happy it's just as quiant as I remembered it. Service was quite nice too. I will definitely come back soon.“
“We went for brunch and this place has a very nice environment!We got a banana pancake, chicken waffle, and home fries… the last one was very ñami but the rest was nothing special just for that reason I'm getting 4 stars.But we want to back and try another food :)“
“Let me first say that I am very selective when it comes down to coffee and dagny has very pleasantly surprised me. The coffee is strong and flavorful and the bakery items are very fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. No one bothers you so you can do your work without interruptions, if that’s what you are here for.Awesome music (Pink Floyd, Beach boys) that was not intrusive played in the background so I couldn’t ask for more. Will be back to try other items on their menu. As the need grows for this part of Astoria for more businesses, I am very happy to see places like Dagny opening up!“
“I was originally going to Sofun noodles around the corner but when I got there they told me nothing could be made gluten free (I have celiac and thought the rice noodles would be ok). So Yelp came to the rescue and I'm so glad I tried this place! The gluten free margherita pizza was possibly the BEST gf pizza I've ever had. Chewy, soft, pillowy crust. I had to ask the server if he was sure it was gf when I saw it. Too bad I don't live around LIC, otherwise, I'd be ordering here all the time!“
“My favorite gluten-free spot. The food is delicious and seasonal, so you know you're getting the best ingredients. They also make some mean cocktails. Well worth an evening out with friends.Dietary restrictions: Gluten, shellfish, peanuts“
“I have nothing bad to say. The drinks 10/10. The vibes 10/10. We tried the plantain appetizer it was okay 7/10. The sushi platter was delicious as well. We would highly recommend this spot for date night. Music was good too! Our waitress was also so sweet. We came on a Tuesday it wasn’t busy but the waitresses were still great and knowledgeable!“
“Came here for chicken & waffles brunch, the butter is amazingggg!! U don't need syrup at all with it I lol. Anyway I'm writing this review also bc the customer service was excellent. Priscilla was an absolute doll who checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. The bus boys and servers were also extremely nice. Best brunch spot in the area of forest hills.“
“Decided to celebrate Taco Tuesday when visiting in Astoria. We arrived around 7, just missing Happy Hour but regardless I needed a drink. Started out with their signature. It was perfect! For our entrees we had the chicken tacos and the camarones al ajo. Definitely hit the spot. We passed on dessert but will be back!“
“STOP what you are doing, GO to Bar Dalia, order a drink and then ORDER the crab cakes. DO NOT risk living the rest of your life without trying them. After that I ordered the chicharrone to go. It was all the bomb dot com. Thank you BD I love you! ?“
“I’ve been coming to Rolo’s since they first opened and they really never disappoint. The food just gets better and better. Everything is amazing but my hands down favorite is the shrimp. I’d say it’s easily some of if not the best shrimp I’ve ever had in my life. The whole menu just compliments itself from the Calabrian chili butter to the wagyu steak. Also, Sitting in the back of the restaurant is such a cool experience because you get to watch the chefs work their magic on that wood fire grill. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in NYC and in my top 5.“
