“This is my third visit to Endswell with the same friend. It’s our go to spot when we’re looking for a good meal, good drinks , and great service. Menu doesn’t change often but what’s on there, chef’s kiss! Usually have the Coq Au Vin, Streak Frites, or Smash Burger. Also the octopus skewers…too yummy! The cocktailsbe cocktailing and solid wine options.“

“This charming spot is half cozy Italian restaurant and half independent bookstore, creating an atmosphere that’s both intellectually stimulating and warmly inviting.

The Sicilian shrimp carpaccio (Carpaccio di gambero) was exquisitely fresh, pairing perfectly with the aromatic fennel and oranges. The Eggplant flan (Flan di melanzane) was a delightful surprise, with its creamy texture and rich flavor. The pasta dishes, particularly the Linguine alle vongole and the Gigli con ceci e gamberi, were cooked to perfection, offering authentic tastes of Italy.

To complement the meal, the Green Citrus Iced Tea was refreshingly crisp, and the classic Tiramisu provided a sweet, satisfying conclusion. Not to forget the excellent Mimosa and robust Cappuccino that were the cherries on top of a fantastic dining experience.

Sullaluna is more than just a place to eat; it’s a haven where you can relax. Whether you’re a bookworm, a foodie, or just in search of a pleasant spot to unwind, Sullaluna is an absolute must-visit.“

“Very cozy local restaurant. Service was excellent. Food was delicious and hot to the table. We spent over 2 hours at the table and no one rushed us. Very friendly staff with good sense of humor.

We had our baby shower here recently as well and it was absolutely incredible. The space is perfect for hosting a private event. It is beautiful on its own so you don’t need to do much to make the space feel special. The food, service, and now the drinks, are always amazing. We highly recommend coming for brunch, lunch or dinner, and most of all hosting a private event. This place is one of the best.“

“What a hidden gem. The perfect French bistro with matching menu and drinks. Food was great and staff couldn't have been nicer. We got a seat right away which in this area tends to be shear luck! Great music. Atmosphere is spot on...easily could have been in a little street of Paris. Only thing missing was an espresso,but I'm looking forward to coming back for sure!“

“This is such an amazing place! I highly recommend the steak tartare and just about everything I’ve ever eaten here. The French apple martinis are definitely drinkable. From the friendly atmosphere to the scrumptious creme brûlée—this is a must visit restaurant.“

“A shoutout to Effy's Kitchen on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan. Recently I’ve taken to looking on the web for restaurants not far from my son’s and daughter’s-in-law apartment and ordering some food specialties to have delivered to them every once in a while. (I moved to Italy four years ago) I know with so many things still locked down in NYC that smiles can get a bit tough to come by. I’ve found spots that have come through with good treats like sweet-potato fries and onion rings, Burrata and Prosciutto with truffle spread on pane carasau, prosecco, special cocktails, craft Pilsners and so on. Last week I did a search for Fish and Chips in the area, found three or four places and came across Effy’s. My son and his wife are super-fans of London and had missed out on a trip there in May so I figured it could be something they’d enjoy — and hopefully buoy their spirits. My only hesitancy was whether their Fish and Chips would be really good and even get CLOSE to what they’ve enjoyed on trips to London. I took a flyer on Effy’s and placed the order for two portions to be delivered as their dinner Friday night. It was delivered on time — and what a great feeling to get their messages afterward: “Oh my gosh it was so good! Thank you. I can't believe how fast I ate it. Lol. Honestly up there with one of the best fish and chips.” And “The fish and chips were amazing. We ate way too fast. It was different with a bunch of smaller pieces as opposed to one large piece but that actually probably helped it stay crisper, less greasy and hotter. We will definitely keep this one in our records.” A Dad who lives an ocean away can only do so much in practical ways, so seeing all this made me really smile. Thanks to Effy’s Kitchen for making it happen as well as I could’ve hoped.“

“One of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had in a while. Stayed there for 3 nights and tried Breakfest sandwich, breakfast burrito and avocado toast. All of them were delicious, especially the avocado toast. Very fresh and well seasoned. Totally recommend.“

“outdoor dining, great service, great food, byob. just overall a great place.“

“It is located inside the Vista LIC Hotel where we had the opportunity to have breakfast. Friendly and efficient service, good quality freshly prepared breakfast. Right now there is a promotion $11.99 two eggs, bacon/sausage, potatoes, juice/coffee/tea.“

“Terra Cafe is a true gem on Sheepshead Bay Road in Brooklyn! You’ll find pleasant music, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee, and cocktails that resemble works of art. The breakfasts feel like a little celebration, bursting with bright flavors and a signature touch. If you want to savor exquisite drinks and unforgettable dishes, be sure to drop by Terra: here, you become the main character of a genuine gastronomic fairytale!“
