New American Restaurants near College Point, NY

“A hidden gem on the roof. 240 degrees of gorgeous views of NYC. Food and drinks are very good. Staff are welcoming as well. Highly recommended.“

“A Beautiful Place I had a blast. I fall in love with the Rooftop and View. I didn't want to leave. Cant wait to attend another engagement here.“

“This is what we call “fine dining.” We did not reserve the main dining room, as one of our party did not care for prix fixe. We opted for the lounge as you can have from the menu or prix fixe. When you first arrive, you are greeted by a pleasant hat/coat check lady. We arrived early and said we would wait for the other couple and were invited to wait in the intimate cocktail area. The cocktails were superb and served with a house-made cocktail snack. When the guests of the party arrived, we were escorted to the lounge area. An intimate area with about six to eight tables. After being seated and greeted by the head server (maître d' or captain), who explained our options, we all opted for the menu. After looking at all the choices, we decided to split two appetizers. Even though the number of items on each choice was uneven, the server said, “Let me take care of it". And then beautifully presented plates arrived with equal portions. And it only got better from there. The entrées were each explained in detail, including their origins and how they were prepared. I could go on and on. The fish, beef, duck breast, and pork were everything we expected and more. We all commented, maybe the best we have had. The house made desserts were perfect. I had possibly the best cheese plate I have ever had. The entire staff of servers were professionals and enhanced the evening. The most disappointing part of the evening was when a guest entering the dining room (after removing his overcoat) came in dressed in Dockers and a short-sleeve polo. This is an insult to the owner, the chef, and the entire staff at this fine restaurant. But maybe he was an elite or a “special” person. We all said we would be back.“

“Lingo was the perfect choice for a special celebration. I brought my daughter here and the night was great. It’s a beautiful space, genuinely warm and personable staff, and excellent Japanese-inflected food with a creative twist.

We did have one miss: the ribs were too fatty for our taste. But here's where Lingo service stepped in. Without any fuss, they took the dish off the bill and were so gracious about it. That kind of hospitality is rare and says a lot about how they run their restaurant.

Everything else was delicious and the vibe was just right for a celebratory dinner. I'll absolutely be back.“

“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“The momos were so delicious, almost like a ravioli texture.
We also had the fried cauliflower, saag burrata side and duck for main dish. For dessert we ordered silvana, which is so delicate with many layers of flavors: airy meringue, coffee cream, pistachios.
Would love to go back and try all the different dishes. Absolutely worth it. Food and service were great.“

“Delicious food and cocktails“

“Came here for brunch. I got the BLT and my friend got the Turkish Eggs, and we shared a green salad. I also ordered a Hugo Spritz to drink.

The decor is beautiful and the food is good. The service was fine. My drink was way too flat. I could tell the champagne in it was old. My other issue is with the prices. I paid $25 for a BLT and it came with nothing (I had to order fries separately). I guess the area is kind of expensive but I still think $25 for a plain sandwich is unnecessary (and you can see how small the sandwich is).“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“The food and service were impeccable.😍“

“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone“

“First and foremost, some people should simply not be allowed to leave reviews lol. I read someone said the pig out is more for three people lmao (there was more. But no reason to share those trash opinions). Unbelievable. Anywayyyyyyy ….

Had a wonderful time tonight. Came in and got a myself a couple plates. Each meal was full of flavor and well done and well prepared. The waitress I had the pleasure of taking care of me was amazing.

I had the Quail and the Pig Out (for two). Except no way in hell am I sharing that with anyone lol. I ate that for myself!!!

I will say the pig out was such a cool and different kind of take on food. It’s one of those plates. You’ll probably always remember. I have dine at James beer award, winning new restaurants, and all sorts of Michelin rated and starred restaurants. The pig out is a meal I will always remember. And to me that says something.

And this is what the pig out is all about and worth the hype in my opinion …

The Pig Out. Chef Chen takes whole Berkshire pork bellies and cures them in thyme, ginger and salt for five hours before confiting them in duck fat for 15 hours. He then shreds the meat and lays it out on a sheet of pig skin, pressing it down and allowing it to cool. This create a terrine of sorts, with the gelatin in the meat binding everything. Once cooled, the pork is sliced into two inch diamonds and heated in a pan, rendering the skin shatteringly crisp. The pork is served with an arugula salad dotted with persimmons (the fruit changes seasonally) and candied walnuts, peanut noodles, a ginger scallion sauce, and a squeeze bottle of sambal. Chen recommends putting a little of the last two on each each piece of pork to achieve the “perfect bite.”

And there you go!!! if you’re in the area absolutely worth a trip. Go enjoy. It’s worth your time.“

“How is it possible that I didn’t review 4747lic here before?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time I go there for weekend brunch, I have to return for dinner! I just can’t get enough of the place. Their Dutch baby “Primadonna” pancake and lobster roll are to die for. Much of what is on the menu it’s imported from Italy of the finest ingredients. It’s always fun to take the ferry across from Manhattan to the Pepsi Cola Sign and walk a couple of blocks. They can accommodate large groups, children, pets, wheelchairs, (you name it) at their outdoor seating. Run there. 😊💕“

“A chic bar with elegant Gatsby themed vibes throughout.“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“We LOVE this place. My partner and I were visiting NYC for our Babymoon and had heard Florentin was delicious, but we were blown away. Not only was the food fantastic (we had steak frites), the service was impeccable. Sammy was an incredible host that made our night even more enjoyable!! He was welcoming, fun, and generous. As my partner and I were celebrating, he made us feel so special and taken care of by providing us with mint tea & tiramisu that was to DIE FOR. Literally, I would give anything for more of that tiramisu! Thank you so much to the staff at Florentin, and a very big thank you to Sammy for a wonderful experience! We can’t wait to return“

“WOW WOW everything was fabulous I highly recommend this place - we celebrated my son's birthday and had a great time cold champagne and caviar..... service was over the top - Cote and Pedro made the night..... will be back every time I come to NY - going to try their restaurant in Miami“

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!“

“Food amazing. Great atmosphere. Staff polite and very professional. Tiffany the manager is brilliant.“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Our lunch was delicious! Although it was not a nice day we were able to eat outdoors. They do have a heater, which made it very comfortable. Good service, too!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Super unique and delicious maple praline brown butter pancakes! More cake than pancake. The wait was not long to get a table and the service was prompt, professional, courteous, and didn’t leave us in want of anything. All of our needs were met. Food was prepared much quicker than expected and was all very good! I would definitely recommend this!“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“

“Came for dinner last night. Food was amazing!! As were the cocktails. We had the Caesar salad, fried eggplants, pork shoulder, and swordfish. I’ve never had a pork shoulder like the one I had last night. Best one I’ve eaten by far.“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Waiter was extra kind and friendly!! Meal was delicious. Thanksgiving away from home. Atmosphere very nice.“

“Garden was lovely on a Saturday night. We all had the tasting menu and there was NOT ONE MISS on any of the dishes. 9 courses, two desserts to share and a little extra amuse of delicious gazpacho to start. Service was attentive and very friendly. The Chefs creativity was on point with amazing flavor combinations and inventiveness without being too over the top.“

“I love this place. will join again“

“First JG expires and I see what sets them apart. Fantastic experience with extremely delightful dishes and wine. Staff were absolute pros, friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. Special shout out to my server and som. Glad to have been offered a tasting menu to sample dishes which were all memorable, delectable, and plated very appealing and handsome. Sprawling modern comfortable space with pleasing lighting and open kitchen view. I am panning my next visit to bask in the rest of the menu. I look forward to the next season’s variations as well. The bar also looks inviting for casual cocktails, wine, and bites. Looking forward to being a walk in for the same. This will certainly be my JG go to.“

“Five Leaves is a great cafe, we were after a solid brunch spot and it hit the spot perfectly. We ordered full breakfasts and the food was fantastic, the coffee was great too.

We sat outside and it was lovely on a sunny day, would definitely recommend.“

“I had the best meal that I have had in YEARS here. The dirty martini is incredible….the oysters and shrimp cocktail were dream worthy. I am dying to come back“

“A very fancy and romantic restaurant.“

“A friend and I dined here over the weekend while visiting the city from WV. I wish I could remember our waiters name because he was an absolute gem. The food was amazing, as was the atmosphere and the service. My friend had the pork steak special and I had the trumpet mushrooms. Both were great and if I ever find myself back in the neighborhood I would absolutely visit again.“

“Amazing, nuanced, fresh and delicious food every time. Can’t wait for the Brussels sprout salad to come back.“

“5 stars are not enough to tell you how good this place is. We've been staying in the Franklin Guesthouse (hotel adjacent to Madre) for a couple of nights and decided to give Madre a shot - boy were we in for a treat! Firstly, shout out to Armando, who made us feel immediately welcomed with his warmth and energy! For food, we got the Frutti di Mare, Croquetas, Brussels Sprouts, Cornbread Madeleines (compliments from chef) and Chicken - massive MASSIVE props to Chef Bryan and his very talented team. To say that they cooked "well" would be the understatement of 2022. They absolutely blew our minds with top quality medley of ingredients, depth of flavor, and masterful execution in every way. Cocktails were fun and delectable, which added the perfect "pop" to the culinary rocket ship that Madre served up. Just when my wife and I were ready to call it a night, Chef Bryan and Armando were kind enough to bring out the Pot de Creme for us, which was the bow and ribbon on this very special dinner. My only regret of the night was not having enough stomachs to enjoy more of what Madre could serve up. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Madre!“

“Outstanding service. Excellent food.“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“Very good restaurant, highly recommended! !👍👍👍“

“Had dinner at Tavern 157 with friends last night and had such a great experience! The atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was excellent. Definitely try the foie gras uni and oysters. They also have an amazing happy hour menu—perfect for a night out with friends!“

“Decent spot for some live music. It gets tight in there, and the chairs suck but it's a great spot in the stuy to pop in and listen to good music. Food is decent as well but it can be awkward to eat depending on where you're sitting.“

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“We celebrated our daughters birthday last night. The restaurant was outstanding the revolving menu featured Fillipino and it was seasoned flawlessly. It small in the middle there was a large communal table with individual tables on the side. Place is nicely decorated has a warm feel. The service was was both personable and efficient. Overall , great experience!“

“Outstanding service!! And the food was delicious!“
