New American Restaurants near Flushing, NY

“Tavern 157 is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a cozy ambiance that perfectly balanced charm and sophistication.

Every dish was great. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste was evident. Pair that with their impressive drink selection--especially their sangria--and you have an evening to remember.

The service was top-notch as well. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made fantastic recommendations. They made us feel like we were the only table in the house, even though the place was buzzing.

Tavern 157 is the perfect spot for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or just indulging in amazing food. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. A true five-star experience!“

“Happy Cooking does it again! Very special restaurant that will be my goto after BAM shows. They got range, baby! From one of the best executions of a Caesar salad I have ever had to an inventive mussel toast dish that smacks and crunches. As usual, the space, the staff, even the music choices are pitch perfect. But it really comes down to the people. Happy staff at happy cooking = awesome.“

“Esperienza unica a New York, atmosfera elegante, ma al tempo stesso giovane e frizzante. Servizio impeccabile e piatti di rara perfezione. Esperienza stellata veramente unica!“

“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.“

“a truly excellent meal that was the highlight of our evening. Sophisticated enough for a beautiful date but casual enough to have a genuine, enjoyable time. I'll be thinking about the Uni Crispy Rice for many days. my only gripe was that the menu is a QR code, needing to use our phones. In an environment like this I would've preferred to not have my phone out at any point, but I will definitely be returning!“

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

“Our entire experience was amazing. The staff were super helpful, kind and knowledgeable. They recommended dishes to us as well as what made sense for a caviar tasting. We shared one of their tastings and it was enough for 2 people. We added a few side dishes as well and were graciously gifted dessert. The space itself is beautifully decorated. Fun place to host a girls meals or group dinner as well as a date night.“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“Don’t sleep on this hidden gem. As inviting as a candlelit hush and nestled in an unexpected corner, Brooklyn’s Winona hums with quiet resonance—the perfect setting for whispered conversations, a slow-burning date night, or an intimate dinner with a dear friend.“

“GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD SPOT, CHILL/FUN VIBE!

What a fun and amazing vibe, our server MARIA was incredibly friendly and down to earth. The burger - WOW holy sh!t was that good. Juicy and Yum, I want that secret sauce! We will come back for sure. Good music too, really cool song choices.“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

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

“Those in the know won't worry to much about 5 leaves not being rated a 4.5 or higher, why you ask? Because it really doesn't matter when the ricotta pancakes are THAT FREAKING GOOD! Seriously every 3rd person orders those pancakes. They also have a great Mocha and black kale salad. If you're not in the mood for sweet fair try the moroccan scramble which is perfect for something light but filling. I got the BLAT on my first visit and it was also good. Now if you're there for dinner been warned the burger is quite filling but it will be worth it even if you gotta waddle home.“

“Food, atmosphere, waiter! Simply Amazing!!“

“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!“

“The food the service overall everything is impeccable“

“Amazing food and wine. Excellent service!“

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

“Prix fixe $75 pp ($60 on Tuesdays). All four courses were creative and delicious. Wines by the glass were nice. Portion size of the vegetarian entree option (gnocchi) felt a bit small compared to the roast chicken. Charming room, very kind service. 20% autograt applied to all checks. I'll be back.“

“Great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for a date night. Delicious and inventive food and cocktails. The cocktails are soju based. We came for the a la carte menu and the standout dishes for us were the longgonisa, the momo, the trout, and number one was the pork belly. The rice it comes with is insanely good; I think you can order just the rice as a side. Get the rice and thank me later. Will definitely be returning for the tasting menu“

“A lovely contemporary Michelin star restaurant in the hip neighborhood of Brooklyn- Nura offers a cozy and chic vibe, complimented by its fusion style menu.
Inspired by co-owner Michelle Lobo-Hawley's Indian heritage, you’ll find a good variety of dishes with a creative twist. I had the kerala egg curry which was supremely flavorful. Will be visiting again!“

“Amazing. Stay away so there's more room for us.

If you do sneak in 😂 you will find friendly people serving OUTSTANDING food (small, careful menu) in a house that Jazz built.

Jazz folks this is the real deal. Everyone else should just come and enjoy the magic of live music.

Pro tip: come early for a seat for the 1st set or arrive late to get a seat by the 2nd set (most likely).

Vegetarian options: Small menu so check beforehand. My 2 vegetarians were fine.

Parking: If you circle they will appear

Kid-friendliness: If they like jazz (and can be quiet during the music) no problem!“

“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!“

“Amazing experience. We went there for a birthday celebration and everyone took great care of us. Staff was very nice and attentive, knowledgeable as well. We are coming back for sure ?

Vegetarian options: Broccolini soup and roasted shiitake pasta 10/10“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“Went for Lunch and turned into Lunch and Dinner? Is there a name like Brunch for that or is it just the European thing to do.

Great vibes from the staff and excellent service attentive but relaxed.

Favorites … besides everything, call me simple -Burger, medium“

“Had the chef's tasting menu dinner with two friends. It was consensus 5 ⭐ for the food afaict. One of the friends, who typically won't visit the same restaurant twice, indicated it was so good they would consider returning. They also added onto their list the sister's restaurant of Traif.

My favorite was probably the scallop risotto, closely followed by the caprese salad.“

“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!“

“There are 3 small stairs down to the front door (I’m sure there is a handicap accessible ramp somewhere but just wanted to point it out).

We dined for brunch at the outdoor patio (there’s also a space heater if needed) and street dining. The inside looked beautiful and opens to bar top seating and then dining area. We had great service but expect really pricey coffee ($7-9) and entrees ($40pp after tip without coffee).
We shared 2 dishes and both were very delicious! The eggs benedict ($27) was cooked perfectly with a rich hollandaise. I asked for the home fries cooked well done and they were absolutely crispy and lightly seasoned to perfection! The portion of the thick cooked bacon was generous. The macro Bowl ($35) was very filling with a creamy tahini dressing. The dish is presented deconstructed but forms a great bowl when mixed together! I would definitely come here if the dishes were just $10 less but a great experience overall!“

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

“Chino is a hidden gem in Williamsburg~ Chino-Latino food meets a karaoke saloon, in a warm, friendly environment. Who can ask for more? Start off with the frito mixto & sauce caddy, ease into the wonton soup, then get rowdy with the char siu bites, chicharron de pollo & black pepper beef~ guzzle it down with the pandan piña colada! Digest with a song or two… phew!“

“La Cafette is the best!!!“

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

“We decided to drop in for a nightcap before returning to the city, eager to sample the highly praised cocktails. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a bit of tardiness, I highly recommend the "Scent of a Woman" cocktail. Although my partner found "Josephine Noir" a bit too sweet.

We also got the tuna tartare to share - the portion was small and it lacked flavors. The item was unexpectedly expensive at $23. We were a bit taken aback by the prices, as they seemed to be comparable to those in Manhattan.“

“Hi. Four of us had brunch outside yesterday (Saturday). What a surprise. We had the Homemade Ricotta toast, Dutch Baby Pancake, the salad, a Spritz and the burger. Everything was simply great. The service was attentive and the cost was very very reasonable. Wish they were in Philly. Would be there every weekend…. Great place“

“I was very impressed, moonlighting in the bartender night life for the last 20 years. I normally don’t go out to bars. My sister and myself were down at Lenox hospital for our Dads surgery. One of the desk staff at Franklin Hotel recommended Penrose! The staff, manager and bartender were so friendly. I have to say I was very happy. I will certainly pop over again next time I’m in the area!!!! The drinks and food were top notch… So cheers Penrose to your amazing hospitality ❤️“

“Went there on a Friday night. It took a little while for us to be seated. But once we got seated, our waiter was very attentive and courteous. The food was great and so were the drinks. We had lobster spaghetti and shrimp & crab ravioli. For the drink, i had the gold digger cocktail. It's a lychee martini, ifykyk. The DJ was a vibe. They played afrobeat, R&B/hip-hop, reggae, and Spanish music. It's very loud in there, not a place for convo, but more for turning up. Definitely will be coming back.“

“What an amazing dinner we were participating in. It started with a flower that exploded our taste buds through all the variety of sea creatures and sea plants prepared various ways to a light but scrumptious bread pudding and ice cream made with 3 waters. All the dishes were presented like works of art accompanied in artistic dishes. It was most definitely a wild to table experience. Highly recommend. (only allowed 10 photos. There was a total 13 servings of food and 2 drinks)“

“the scenery inside is so nostalgic.The food n drinks are amazing,and the music is a vibe!“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“A magnificent 4th of July experience!“

“Outstanding service. Excellent food.“

“Delicious Food Nice Ambiance Excellent Service“

“Great food, great location and great service. Definitely a thumbs-up for this place!“

“Outstanding grub and good atmosphere“

“The food here is amazing! Great flavors and fresh ingredients.

We ordered the broccoli tacos, the chopped salad, and shared the burger. Everything was delicious! The burger is so good, very simple, but you can tell they use good quality meat. The salad was fresh and had great acidity to it. The tacos were crunchy with great mouthfeel and were absolutely yummy.

My only gripe was with the service! It was horrible. The hostess/waitress was rude as soon as we stepped through the door. I had to flag down staff each time we needed something. When it came to the bill, I had to get up and ask the bartender for the bill. Inexcusable, especially since the food is not cheap at all.

Will come back with lower expectations for service.“

“peking duck spring rolls appetizer, yummers! lobster shrimp scampi entre, delicious! desserts, order one of each and share, go for it! life is short my friends, live the - (dash) - enjoy the journey :-)“

“Dilly Dally is exactly what’s needed on Vanderbilt and in Prospect Heights.

The vibe in the restaurant is Coming Soon (quirky, diverse art, fun light fixtures, great furniture, table settings) meets cool bar, and the staff are down to earth and attentive.

The food is pretty perfect. We had the bread, Caesar salad, meatballs, trout and skirt steak. All were perfect. The bread is crusty, so moist and paired with the butter is so good. The meatballs are wildly soft and decadent with a perfect red sauce. The mains are really well balanced and delicious.

We didn’t get the burger; the next time we go we will. I am skeptical about a $30 burger, but they’re doing all the right things!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Modern Love. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting, and the food was incredible. Thank you!“

“We are definitely biased, but Wednesday night at 8 is a great time to enjoy the roasted Brussels sprouts, burgers, salads, and Pub Quiz. The staff are wonderful and the regulars are very welcoming.“
