Tapas Restaurants near Flushing, NY

“157 Tavern has been a staple in the area for 10 years and is an excellent choice for parties or group gatherings. You can simply provide them with your budget, and they will curate the menu for you, which makes the planning process very convenient.

Regarding the food:

Grilled Spanish Octopus: Highly recommended. The potato pave is delicious, and the octopus is tender with a perfect charred exterior.

Short Rib with Bone Marrow: The meat is very tender and falls apart at the touch of a fork, though I wish the portion of bone marrow was a bit larger.

King Salmon: Quite tender.

Burrata Cheese: Standard/average.

Caramel Flan: Delicious and beautifully presented.

Overall, it is a great spot for a nice dinner.“

“It’s too far and lonely in the area by the time we got here BUT!!!!! Really loved the vibe here and the food are soooooooooooo good! And the drinks are good too I mean I know how to enjoy the sojus hahaha. Really recommend this place, it’s a hidden gem for me! ✨
I don’t know if we’d have the same taste but you should try it out! It’s so peaceful here. ^^“

“The location, atmosphere, and venue are all very pleasant. Just keep in mind that if you sit outside at night, the music can make it difficult for the servers to hear the call button when you need assistance. Because of that, I’d like to give a special mention to *Brian, who was the only server consistently attentive to my table while everyone else kept walking past me! *Carlos was also incredibly helpful and accommodating. And the Bulgogi nachos are a 10/10 🫨“

“Among my fave spots around. The atmosphere is electric and they play every game! Enjoy their all-day happy hour, when you can receive five shots for $25 to $40 (depending on your poison of choice). The food is more typical of a pub, but it's great for a quick bite and priced friendly! Highly recommended their bulgogi quesadilla. Couldn’t gate-keep any longer!!“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Nice place food uffff recomendado“

“I absolutely love Masquerade. It’s a home away from home and their SAG Eclipse cocktail is one of my all-time favorites.

Their menu has changed through the years but I’d say right now their food is great! I love their Tahchin and Chicken (the tomato and onion on the side is delightful).

On top of all this, their staff are kind and friendly. What else could you want?“

“Great location; close to Metro North. Quality Food, Service and Friendly Staff😀“

“Cozy atmosphere and fine dining“

“Great food and very friendly staff!“

“El mejor lugar de Manhattan donde puedes encontrar un ambiente acogedor y moderno, con comida deliciosa y la mejor atención“

“What a fantastic evening at Tiny Tapas! My friends and I came in looking for good food and great company, and we walked out with so much more. From the moment we sat down, the energy of this place just felt right—warm, welcoming, and full of genuine hospitality.
The real heart of the experience was Eric, the owner. He treated us with so much respect and made us feel like we belonged there. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and there was this easy harmony to the whole night that you just can’t fake. Eric clearly pours his heart into this place, and it shows in every detail.
And the food? Absolutely outstanding. Every plate hit the mark, and sharing tapas around the table is the perfect way to slow down and savor both the flavors and the company. It’s the kind of meal that reminds you good food is meant to be shared.
If you’re looking for a spot to gather with friends, laugh, eat well, and walk away feeling like life is a whole lot better than you remembered—this is the place. Tiny Tapas is a gem, and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you, Eric, for an unforgettable night!“

“Lee was absolutely phenomenal and everything went perfect. Wedding was awesome everyone loved the food and the cocktails. The service was flawless. From the first tour until the wedding the communication and planning and advice were extremely helpful. Our guests all loved the vibe and no one had any complaints. Bartenders were super quick and made everyone happy. Highly recommend for weddings and events! Thank you very very much to the entire staff at MyMoon!!! Special thanks to Lee for being 100% right and making this day easy and awesome 👏“

“Such delicious food and great service! I ordered the kabob koobideh with a sharbat to drink and it was the perfect meal and pairing! My only complaint would be how noisy the dining areas are- it's a popular place so it's always packed, and the subway tile on the walls bounces the voices and noise. It's also hard to get a table, and reservations are competitive, but it is worth it!“

“We walked in late on Friday and had a fantastic dinner. Three of us all came away with the same perspective that Traif was amazing. Service was unbelievably attentive, the dishes we had were delicious and the back patio was a calming retreat after a busy day. Every dish was a flavor burst. I highly recommend Traif and will go back.“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“We were in the area and were looking for a dinner spot.

We ordered almost everything on the menu. The appetizers, the entrees, etc and split everything. Out of everything on the menu the rice, potatoes and sausage were our favorites. If you go with a group I recommend ordering the shared plates, appetizers and dessert.

The churros were amazing too!

I’d definitely go back if I was in the area again. So amazing!“

“El restaurante es hermoso, excelente atencion, comida deliciosa y buena musica. El lugar es muy armonioso“

“Did know what to expect but everything was absolutely delicious. I got the Baba Bowl and added avocado and the apple bottom drink was yummy!“

“delicious food and drinks menu. service was attentive too.“

“Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !“

“Try their Pabellon Arepa! You will forget your name and lose your mind. It is a masterpiece, chef-d'oeuvre. Insanely delicious. And don’t leave it unattended on the table! I am from upstate New York. We have hundreds of Mexican restaurants up there and none of them can make Arepa even close to La Napa’s.“

“The food at Djondjon is spot on.... This restaurant is a jewel. The food is amazing, and the hospitality is off the chart. There is free jazz often enough. The quality far surpasses the price. I love their pasta, their fish and their goats which come in various varieties. Their appetizers are yummy. I will continue to patronize this place. I had my Cabrit boukannen ( grilled goat) and it really pleased my taste buds.“

“Just ok. The wine was impeccable, we went with a chilled red that was completely perfect. The food however, was nothing special. It was good, fresh, and well-constructed but the dishes were just overly simple. I know the menu rotates based on who is the chef at that time, but I feel like the menu we got was on the more “meh” side compared to examples I’ve seen.

I would definitely do this place as a wine bar first with some light bites to snack on, but don’t know if I would return specifically for the food program.

ALSO— I found it really obnoxious that they let dogs in the backyard, you never really know who is allergic or what a dog‘s temperament is and either way I just found it really offputting that people were just letting their dogs go up to random patrons during their visit. For a $170 visit I’d hope for more sophistication.“

“Best neighborhood restaurant! Amazing and creative cocktails. Service is awesome too!“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“Tinto is a true fine dining experience in Washington Heights. Amazing service, high end tapas and a great date night atmosphere. One of my local favorite spots.“

“Addictive Wine & Tapas is a great place to go for an after-work drink, or for a light meal with great tapas. The wine selection is extensive, the service is great, and the personal attention from the owners makes everyone feel special.“

“😊La Giaconda is a friendly restaurant with authentic Italian cuisine. We had a small family Christmas Dinner there and were treated like family. They have an extensive wine list and delicious food.“

“★★★★★

After an amazing day party at Superior Ingredients, we wanted somewhere intimate, elevated, and relaxing to unwind before continuing the night — and was the perfect choice.

The atmosphere here is incredible. Dim lighting, beautiful music at the perfect volume, effortlessly stylish crowd, and a warm energy that instantly makes you want to stay longer. The space feels classy and romantic without ever feeling pretentious. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the experience.

The wine selection was outstanding. We spent the night exploring multiple imported European wines and loved how curated and unique everything felt. Pair that with the cheese boards and small plates and it becomes one of the best date-night wine spots in Brooklyn.

What really stood out though was the hospitality. The host and entire staff were genuinely welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable, and gave first-class service from start to finish. You can tell there’s real passion behind the experience they create.

Perfect for romantic dates, intimate conversations, catching up with friends, or just having a more sophisticated night out in Williamsburg. Easily one of the best wine bar experiences we’ve had in NYC and definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to. 🍷✨“

“We had an absolute blast! If you are looking for a spot with incredible live music and a fantastic vibe, this is it.
The bands were phenomenal, they were absolutely working the room, bringing so much energy, and playing amazing sets. Kept the whole place alive.
The drinks were excellent and expertly made, and we had a lot of fun sharing a bunch of delicious appetizers. It’s the perfect recipe for a great night out in Brooklyn. We will definitely be back for more live music soon!“

“Amazing service and food. Kevin was great and can pour a great pint of Guinness. My girlfriend has celiac and everything we ordered was delicious and safe for her to eat. The Owner’s sister had celiac as well, so they’re really on top of it. Super cool vibe in the restaurant as well.“

“Nice place, nice location, friendly informative staff, great service, good food, good portions. Perfect dining experience. We had the river dog oysters for an appetizer, we split a mickeys salad, and a meg Ryan pizza, espresso was great. The pear brandy was great with the ice cream. Will definitely go back.“

“We ABSOLUTELY loved it. The food was fantastic so delicious especially mama’s bread!! The wines were divine 🍷 🍷 😋 The owner was gracious and the service was awesome- we will be back!!“

“Amazing Dinner Spot!

Had an absolutely fantastic meal here! You can tell the chefs are experts—everything was cooked to perfection. The vibe was great, perfect for groups, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating to our dietary needs . The portions were generous and the wine list was top-notch. 10/10 experience!“

“My favorite spot in my neighborhood in Brooklyn. Made with love. Absolutely delicious food, and everything tastes as if it’s homemade. I truly appreciate the staff too — everyone is always very welcoming. Thank you for all that you do, Dar 525!“

“Very authentic tapas. Try the potatoes Brava.“

“Incredible food and cocktails! Wonderful service!“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“Came in for a quick bite and ended up really liking it.

I had a beer, pork gyoza, and the dried spicy udon with shrimp. Everything tasted really homemade and fresh, not heavy or greasy like some places.

The gyoza was crispy on the bottom, juicy inside, and the udon had a nice spicy kick with good texture. Super easy, comforting meal with a beer on the side.

Nothing complicated—just good, fresh food that hits the spot.“

“Fillmore Deli and Backroom is a pretty solid neighborhood spot with a surprising mix of options. The Korean fried chicken is actually really good crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. They also have a large variety of sandwiches, so there’s something for whatever mood you’re in.

One thing that always throws me off though is they tend to run out of the tuna pretty often, which is strange for a deli. But besides that, everything else seems to be okay. It’s a reliable place to grab a quick bite and the food usually hits the spot.“

“Porta 23 has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Astoria. The food is consistently excellent, the cocktails are creative, and the service always makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and relaxed, whether you’re stopping in for dinner, drinks, or watching a match with friends.

The weekly specials make it even better. Taco Tuesday is one of the best deals around with three tacos and a margarita, Wednesday’s All Night Happy Hour is always worth checking out, and their weekend brunch is easily one of the best in the neighborhood.

If you’re a soccer fan, this is also an incredible place to catch the World Cup. Watching the matches on the projector and big screen with great food and drinks creates an atmosphere that’s hard to beat.

Everything I’ve tried has been fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. Porta 23 is the kind of neighborhood restaurant you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again. Highly recommended.“

“New go-to spot!! The best cocktails I’ve had in a minute. Complex, balanced, w high quality spirits. This spot is beautiful, perfect blend of welcoming, cozy, elevated, vibey. Awesome service and delicious food. Appreciate the vegetarian options. Cant wait to try the rest of the menu and happy hour!!“

“Server was great just had yucca fries but they were hot and yumm and the ailoi was delicious my husband had the burger and he loved it. But the cocktails were great and the ambiance was just what we were looking for. We will definitely be back.“

“You get what you pay for in the best possible way. The meal quality was high and priced fairly for the serving size. Their cooking reflected true expertise. The meal and staff exceeded expectations. We plan to come back at our first opportunity!“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Awesome portuguese food! Great service too“

“The food was amazing!!! Ordered steak tacos & shrimp tostadas & they were to die for!!! The service was incredible & the wait staff was so friendly & welcoming. Additionally, the aesthetic & vibe of this restaurant are unmatched! Highly recommend & will most definitely be back soon!!“
