I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. I ordered the steak and eggs while my girlfriend had the burger with fries. She really enjoyed her burger, and the fries were fresh and well done. The potatoes with my meal were seasoned nicely, and the eggs were fine—pretty standard.
Unfortunately, the steak itself was disappointing. It was bland and not cooked to the temperature I requested, which really took away from the dish. On top of that, I ordered a Coca-Cola that came out completely flat, tasting more like flavored water, and it cost $5, which felt unreasonable for the quality.
Overall, while some parts of the meal were decent, the key items I ordered fell short.

The fact that I have to come here to write a comment means I had the worst experience ever. Why did my french fries, taste better than my burger! The girl with the curly blonde hair awful, Super awful. If she’s your waiter. Just ask for someone else. She didn’t come check up on us once we were ignored the whole time, my boyfriend had to go ask the bus Boy For Drinks, Condiments, and the check he basically was our server because she didn’t even come once. My boyfriend had to ask the bus boy for 1 coke and she charged me for 2 didn’t even say anything because I just wanted to leave that’s how bad it was. Maybe she’s racist a little bit, but Definitely ask for another server. Let’s work on our customer service so no one has to feel this way!

I wanted to give this place a second chance but I was disappointed once more in spending my money here. The service staff and the ambience was great, but the food did not meet my expectations. The Branzino I ordered had an overwhelming smoky almost burnt like taste and the side of spinach was over seasoned. The lamb chops were requested to be well done but were a little bit more than well done. I didn’t bother getting any cocktails since I recall them being overly sweet during my first visit. I wanted to like this place and it has much potential, but food was not worth the expense.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at TRU Astoria. The staff appeared frantic and disorganized, running back and forth in a way that made the atmosphere feel rushed and chaotic. I had brought a birthday cake for the occasion, but despite multiple polite reminders, it remained in the kitchen for nearly an hour and was never brought out in a timely manner. During this time, I observed that the all-white table next to us received their food and service promptly, while my table, made up entirely of Black guests, was consistently overlooked. This disparity in treatment was noticeable and deeply disheartening. Unfortunately, TRU Astoria reflects a larger pattern I’ve seen with certain “upscale” restaurants that have emerged in the neighborhood following gentrification, establishments that appear to cater to a very specific demographic while making others feel invisible. I cannot recommend dining here, and I would encourage spending your money at one of the many Astoria restaurants that value and serve all patrons equally.

This places sucks what happen to Tru it’s TRULY a disappointment now , where are the customers now I felt so lonely on a Thursday night and to make things worst I asked for oysters they didn’t have , I asked for my favorite drink and it was totally wrong , the server said there’s was a new owner now and that’s things have changed
I clearly see now why it’s empty wouldn’t waste my time here again What a shame been coming here for years

I went for girls nights and had the best food ever!!! I would just like to point out that the servers were extremely welcoming and kind. The ambiance was just warm and magnificent!! I had a virgin leech and burger... safe to say I was very satisfied that I even order another 2 leeches. I also had a chocolate dessert and it was sooo good!! Will definitely be coming back!!!

Horrible Service. We waited at our table for 25 minutes without being greeted or offered even a glass of water. After giving it an extra couple of minutes, we simply walked out. Completely unacceptable. Please improve your service, no one should be left sitting that long without acknowledgment.

From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and stylish perfect for both a date night or a night out with friends. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and they truly made me feel like a valued guest.
Now, the food… incredible. Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully plated, and cooked to perfection. You can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. The lamb chops were easily one of the best I’ve ever had
Drinks were on point too. The cocktails were creative and well-balanced, and the wine list had great selections across all price points.
I’ll definitely be coming back and bringing people with me next time. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for top notch food and service in a great atmosphere.

Not very happy with the service. Very slow considering there were very few customers. Waited about 15 mins for drinks and about 30 mins for appetizer. I would understand if place was packed out but about only 4 tables were being waited including mine. Appetizer was good, great flavor and place looks very nice. Will try again soon, hopefully its better and that was just an off beat night (which can happen)
