“The BEST SERVICE AND FOOD!“

“I was here for an event. The food was good. The table was set nicely. Solid choice for a place to eat. For a large party their price was very reasonable. Service was good. They have private rooms in the back for parties but it's separated by a curtain and the sound travels. Plan accordingly.“

“A teen "jogger" waitress, gave me an attitude. I ordered some soup for take out. This waitress was angry and hostile. The soup was cold, and there were no crackers! The waitress needs some anger managment! Every time I go there, their service is dreadful. This will be the last time! Phooey!“

“Margie’s is no doubt a favorite of mine! It’s always a go to for my family and I when we want a relaxing atmosphere with good food, service, and drinks. From the welcoming staff, to the delicious food, it is always a pleasure to dine at Margie’s. Manager PJ always welcomes patrons with a smile as well as good conversation. We always look forward to his company and warm welcome! Definitely check out Margie’s next time you want a great night out with family and friends!“

“I experienced Nettie’s for the first time last evening. My dining experience was excellent from arrival to departure. The food was “DELISH!” The owner was welcoming & hospitable, the service was good, and the music and atmosphere wea awesome! I am so pleased and proud to have a “Black” owned establishment where you can dine in Queens in a tasteful environment, supporting our entrepreneurs and our community. I, along with others will be back!!!“

“I had the tuna and it was absolutely delicious!!“

“Seating and food was great! They did give me my meat medium well which I asked for just medium, the cook did redo it for me and was very nice and professional about it. The only bad thing about it was the atmosphere which was a bit hot, especially when seated on leather seats and our server Jessie had bit of an attitude. I understand that being a server is tough but at least don’t take out your frustration on customers or have a bad face when serving. Didn’t feel comfortable asking for things from her.“

“Just had a Birthday Dinner and we enjoyed from the beginning to the end. The food was amazing! The octopus dish is delicious.. i loved the atmosphere and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place!!!!“

“I have been to The West End Cafe many times for dinner, but this was my first time for lunch. Although the menu was more limited there many fewer people there. It tends to be very noisy in the evening but was much quieter during lunch making it conducive for conversation.“

“I have been a customer of Austin’s Ale House for many years, I know them well they know me well. This year I decided to give the excellent and highly favored family cooking team a break and had Austin’s Ale House cater our Christmas Dinner. I went with the ham dinner for 10 to feed 7 people🤣. The ordering was done with ease and so was the pick up. The family did a preliminary tasting...... LOVED .IT and whatever we have left after the “taste test” will have to serve as our Christmas Dinner. Since the taste test was so aggressive we may need to supplement what’s left with a few cheese omelets 🤣. We enjoyed it so much there was much talk about it becoming the new family tradition. THANK YOU AUSTIN’S ALE HOUSE AND MEREY CHRISTMAS........ PS I’m going to need one of those backyard igloos in a day or so. See you then 🎄❤️“

“Always enjoy. Staff and food top notch.“

“Customer service was excellent!!!The atmosphere was very beautiful. The food was very delicious. The craziest thing was my boyfriend and I would pass by there all the time not knowing about this restaurant until I went for my birthday. The experience was everything 💕I will definitely be coming back to try their delicious food.“

“Wanted to try a new spot for brunch w/the Mrs and this restaurant DID NOT disappoint. It was 11:30AM and the professionalism and greeting still felt like it was an evening date vibe. Our waitress Ashley, was patient and knowledgeable. She guaranteed I would like the Honey Garlic wings and they were the highlight of the night. Not taking away from the regular and Baileys Chicken and Waffles fresh and delicious taste. Needless to say we will be repeat customers. Possibly become regulars.“

“love this place. the service is excellent. The food is fresh and good quality and most of the time I can’t finish it they give so much very generous portions. always greeted when you come in the front door like you a family can’t get any better than that“

“Always a great experience at Seasons 52. The food is prepared so well and it's so nice that they have some feature meals that change with the seasons and take advantage of what produce are available. Our waiter was wonderful and attentive. The noise level was perfect and I chose it because my niece has hearing challenges and we can count on the perfect ambiance for an enjoyable evening.“

“akways amazing great food, great service“

“I'd like to give kudos to Nick and his staff at Veranda Restaurant & Cafe. We held my daughter's bridal shower brunch for 22 people there today under the pergola. The food was excellent, and the waitstaff led by Daniel was impeccable! I highly recommend this venue.

Dietary restrictions: I'm allergic to cilantro, so they prepared guacamole specially for me without this ingredient.

Parking: Valet garage parking“

“Excellent food and service. A+++++“

“I had 12oz Ribeyes with sides of steamed broccoli and mashed potato, waffles fries and a coke.
- First of all waffle fries is really delicious 4.5/5.
- For Ribeyes it was thin and I ordered medium-rare, it came medium. Tastes a little salty for me, I like the flavor. It is pricy for this quality of meat choice and cook. Sides are okay. 3.5/5“

“We have been coming to LB Social since Matt took it over years ago. The food is always On Point! The staff are always friendly, work well with one another, attentive Drinks are always good I don’t have 1 bad thing to say except why haven’t you been there yet if not ?“

“My friends and I had a lovely afternoon at The Rockaway Hotel Pool house. We were greeted by a warm and friendly hostess, Isabella, who made us feel so welcomed. Our beautiful table was in the perfect spot to take in all of what the Rockaway Hotel has to offer. The outside bar and Pool house are exquisite. The pool was bustling with excitement. Our waiter, Andrew, was polite and helpful . I highly recommend coming to The Rockaway Hotel because their staff is highly professional and attentive.“

“Always a pleasure coming to Rove! Tonite was an exceptional experience. I wish i got the bartenders name. Wednesday 4/24/24 between 7-9pm. Nice nails and curly hair. She was funny pleasant and took care of us. Long story short, after great apps and drinks, paid the bill and left…I dropped a $50 out of my pocket after I paid and left and was only 2 store fronts down and she came after me telling me you dropped a bill and gave it back. You don’t see this honestly often anymore. Kudos to her and Rove deserves her as an employee.“

“My family wanted to try a new place for dinner this weekend and Jamesons was it. The atmosphere is warm and inviting so we felt comfortable the moment we walked in. Our waitress Sarah was great...super friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered the French Onion soup (excellent) and Pretzel Sticks (ok) as appetizers. The French Onion soup ($12) was very delicious but the pretzel sticks ($12) we probably wouldnt order again. There were 2 Pretzels to the order which my wife and I thought was a little pricey for what they were. My 7 year old ordered the chicken fingers and fries which were better than I had expected them to be. My wife ordered the Fish and Chips ($25) - super tasty, very fresh, and cooked to perfection. I ordered the Reuben ($24) super yummy which was a special for the evening. My wife and I both agreed after sharing that both meals were excellent. Key Lime Pie and a cappuccino finshed us off both of which did not disappoint. Overall, food and presentation were top notch and the service was excellent ---Thanks again Sarah! My wife and I both felt it was a little pricey but we would definitely go back.“

“Just had an RVC fire department brunch here. Jackie Amato is amazing as the event coordinator, patient, kind and so wonderful to work with. We had the brunch buffet and omelet station. The food was delicious and plentiful. The staff and servers were outstanding, helpful and so genuinely kind. They were so willing to help set up our centerpieces and couldn't do enough to make everything so special. Our bartender Victor was off the charts amazing. The room was beautiful and bright. I would have another event there tomorrow if I could. Thank you EGP.“

“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“
