“Most amazing seafood. Go for happy hour. Get all the oysters. The lobster pasta made my husband weak in the knees. He won't stop talking about the olive brine Bloody Mary. THE BEST.“

“We came at 5 PM on a Wednesday and it was calm and peaceful. The food tasted clean with a focus on the ingredients natural flavor. The chicken was fried very well and it's taste was fairly light with a hint of MSG. The galbi-jjim was tender and youll find yourself dipping it back in the sauce after each bite. Nothing was excessive in flavor which might be a downside for someone expecting heavy pocha style flavors. Even the kimchi wasn't too sour and had a crunch to it. It's unique and healthy, plus the place is gorgeous and a great place for a date.“

“For over 9 years,
I've visited this restaurant in the Astoria area of Queens, NY with my family and friends.
After playing semi-pro soccer and now as an amateur, I always come here to enjoy a great time.
The food is delicious and flavorful, and the service is excellent.
I highly recommend it to anyone.
And the best part? It's not expensive — affordable for any budget.
TN.
Visit it and you'll see!

I'm back today for my favorite fish.
Last time I forgot to put 5 star.“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“The service was absolutely fantastic. We were a group of 7 and were completely taken care of all night. We were probably the loudest group in the restaurant which we had to quiet ourselves sometimes, but no one ever said nothing or batted an eye and we were treated like gold. Highly recommend this location as the staff was awesome and food delicious. Would gladly come back.“

“Came here on 10/17/25, service was amazing, dishes were to die for and drinks were amazing. Everything is so good and I definitely recommend coming here. If you come here please try the meringue angel foodcake, trout and cotton candy drink. FYI: THE WHOLE COURSE TAKES 2 TO 3 HOURS SO BE READY TO WAIT. In general though this restaurant is amazing! 🔥👌🔥“

“We lived in nyc for 30 years. Recently moved to DE. God only knows how much we miss the nyc culture. Nothing holds a candle to it. Thank you Aaron for such a delightful lunch today at your restaurant. Best Manhattan I’ve had in a long long time! You were so attentive and accommodating. Service the best! Thank the kitchen for the great food also! Will be back soon with our nephew and his spouse!“

“This is a very small restaurant so important to make reservations. I love sitting at the bar only 4 seats lots of space for the food. The bartender let me sample several beers to help me decide which I thought was so kind. Food is gooood clean And nice variety although. It's I fish specially they offer steak and a bone marrow dish so 2026“

“I have to say for the small amount of food the prices are a bit high.
The calamares were good, but the cheese plate i wasn't happy with it. They gave me 3 very tiny thin slices of hard white cheese, 1 very small brie, 2 dry pieces of white bread, 1 dry piece of priciutto and what I mostly did not like was the 2 slices of mortadella meat. They could have given a better meat choice also instead of dry bread water crackers would be a better choice.
That's just cheap meat to me. Usually when I order a charcuterie plate I am satisfied. This was not satisfying.
My husband had the burger he said it was OK.
Nothing to brag about.
The Tin building inside has a nice vibe.
Other than that I felt like when I was in France. Very little food with high prices.
The server was kind.“

Place de fetes was truly a 10/10 experience. They are so creative and seasonally aligned. The menu is delicious and exciting.

The service is wonderful and kind.

If you can, come here, order a lot and enjoy the nice vibes“

The service is super friendly and professional, and the whole experience feels special without being too fancy. It’s one of those places you’ll keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth it! 🍽️✨“

“Amazing Dining Experience, Delicious Food, Private space with lovely Staff!!!“

“My review is based on a party of 1pax (myself).

Very welcoming and cozy, modern Thai restaurant with the South East Asian flare you'd be looking for if having visited Thailand before. Decor is a mix of modern and traditional which gives a nice feel, ambiance is relaxed.

I was greeted with friendly & warm smiles and seated at the spacious bar area where Yatika helped me decide food/drink choices. I can vouch for the excellent food quality and selection (Northern Thai & Bangkok) having ordered Khanom Jeen Nam Ngiao & Tom Kha soup

Shout out to Yatika for the excellent service and making your patrons feel welcomed and wanting to come back! I'd highly recommend and will definitely be back when coming through the city. Double 👍👍“

“Fabulous atmosphere and excellent food“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Last December, We traveled from PA just to visit this restaurant for my husband's bday. We visited Brooklyn again this year for the NYC marathon and low and behold, this place was only a few stops away on the subway. And I owed my hubs a lunch anywhere he wanted to go because I lost this year's NCAA basketball pool, so here we are. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT. Nothing by our home compares to it. Oysters, lobster rolls, beer, friendly knowledgeable service. We hope to visit again soon. This is the best lunch we've had all year. ❤️❤️❤️“

“The hostess seemed to have difficulty locating our reservation, even after I spelled my name three times. It was a bit frustrating. The assistant hostess then bypassed the reservation check-in, which I later realized resulted in a no-show record for me, and led us to a table situated in the middle of the restaurant, which is a busy area for wait staff and guests. I kindly requested a table away from the main thoroughfare, which was available. It was puzzling why we were given the least desirable table, even with a reservation. Additionally, the tables are quite large, not ideal for an intimate dinner for two, as they resemble conference room tables. I believe they are approximately 40” x 40” — quite spacious. This setup makes it necessary to speak loudly across the table, which can be disruptive to neighboring tables. On a positive note, the food was excellent, the sommelier was wonderful, and the wait staff on the restaurant side was fantastic. It seems the main areas for improvement are with the hostesses and the table arrangements to better suit a romantic dining experience.“
