“Very classy place. You can get beer and liquor there and play pool and darts there and use the bathroom there.“

“Had such a nice experience at The Terrace! Annie was our waitress and she was so sweet, attentive, and had such a good attitude. She definitely made the experience even better. The food was really good too, I just wish the portions were a little bigger because I was definitely left wanting more 😂 Overall, good food, great service, and shoutout to Annie for taking care of us!“

“Great presentation. Great drinks. Great service. Overall great experience 😎“

“This is such a cute place and the food was delicious! I came here for dinner with a friend and I got the Crispy and Spicy Sesame Chicken Donburi which was divine. The decor inside is super cute and cozy plus the service is excellent — they were so welcoming and efficient. Didn’t try the ramen this time but my friend did and it looked amazing. I will absolutely be coming back so maybe next time! Anyways, definitely recommend if you’re in the area“

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

“Drinks and apps were wonderful before the show at beacon. We felt like we were in Europe. Fantastic! We will be back!“

“Stay Away!!! Just kidding, this spot is popular and rightfully so for all the right reasons. The atmosphere is bot chill and warm for lounge lizards wanting a great watering hole. The drinks are fantastic, The Monk Fashioned being my favorite, reminds me of a magical Sazerac. The food here is delicious too, been a couple times and look forward to returning again soon. Love the Sweet And Salty Grilly with Gruyère, Prosciutto, Fig Spread, Arugula on Sour Dough. The Fonduey Mac & Cheese is also a cooze fest of cheesy goodness, also the Whipped Feta with the Everything Bagel Pretzel. Always love to get the Crab Cakes. Though I’m eyeing the Skewered Thighs for next time they look like a divine dine. Fortunately we’ve gotten in without a reservation, though I’m sure it’s good to have one.“

“Events, webinars, Executive Circle, mentoring program, digital resources, networking, professional development. Lots to love about membership.“

“Fantastic food great atmosphere“

“Had a great birthday dinner with the family. We dropped in on the earlier side since we were dining with three young children, but the service and attention was great. The food was excellent - one of the best chicken parms I've ever had. Others in my party had the gnocchi pesto, tagatelle bolognese and the linguine di mare - all also loved their dishes.“

“Great space to have a fundraiser and birthday party. Staff and owner are so wonderful and helpful. Great prices for cocktails and beers/drinks“

“Leaving 4 stars only because I’m a local and it’s usually my favorite spot for grabbing intimate drinks and oysters with friends/dates. It’s typically really ambiant and lovely and feels like an old speakeasy. However, something was off with service last night; went here with my date and we planned to order oysters and cocktails. A (bartender/server?) was unnecessarily unkind to my date. We had requested change seating and he simply sat down and he asked me one question about how I’ve been and she cut him off, telling us to scan QR code and that she would give us one second. If the tone hadn’t been so sharp, we might have stayed anyways. We left right then without ordering anything because it wasn’t an intimate, enjoyable vibe at that point and with the prices being so high, the whole point is the atmosphere.“

“Birthday celebration for a friend and 13 others . Will be back again. Customer service outstanding. Atmosphere great. Had a wonderful time.“

“Best old fashions in Astoria.“

“Went tonight for the secret magic show (with Mark Clearview). Not only was the show SUPERB but so were the cocktails. HIGHLY recommended- especially if you can get tickets to the magic show!“

“Excellent atmosphere. Comfy seating, bar seats, or small tables, there’s a spot for anyone. The craft control menu was great, hard to choose which one to try. Extensive list of wines and spirits as well. Gonna have to try some food next time I come visit the city.“

“Friendly staff and the food was delicious! Can’t wait air to go back“

“Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“This is a lovely spot for a quick bite or a drink! Keep in mind on weekdays their bar is not open until 4pm and so it's only the coffee side. The coffee side is self service, including bussing your own plates. But the place is calm, quiet, friendly, and the chopped salad I ordered with fried chicken was quite tasty. (Would def order that again).“

“Very good! The food was amazing - appetizer & entree. Got the mezze & PDQ - both amazing - and picadinho & herb roasted half chicken, also SO good. Portion sizes were perfect! Service was great as multiple servers came by each time. Drinks were also good! Only cons were the slightly loud music (but got drowned out/easier as more people came in) & the fact we reserved outdoor seating but the singular outside table was already full when we got there and had to sit inside. But the ambiance was very nice and made the move not disappointing at all. Hope this place does well & sticks around!“

“Quality establishment with style …. Recommended A++“

“So so good! The service was great, they are super friendly! We had two quesadillas (carnitas and steak) the Esquite and 2 margaritas (coconut and blood orange) 🔥 🔥 . Everything was delicious and affordable. No complaints! Must go!!“

“The Paninis here are out of this world. I also enjoy the Italian cookies as doing my children. I have been coming to the east side for many years as it’s near the hospital for appointments. They also make the best cappuccino in the city. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I could not say more good things about this place!❤️“

“loved service and food expectacular“

“Awesome for a date with your love and great hangout place with friends“

“Great, unique cocktails. Loved the Madonna song theme going on that cocktail list it really boosts the vibe. Had a great time over snacks and some drinks with friends for a celebration and would celebrate there again. Antonia rocks, definitely someone worth meeting when you’re in she’ll definitely make your experience special!“

“From the moment I entered Perla Negra, I was captivated by the breathtaking atmosphere—a perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy charm.

The cocktail menu is a true standout, with each drink expertly crafted and bursting with unique flavors. The knowledgeable bartenders are passionate about their craft and eager to recommend the perfect sip.

Equally impressive is the food; each dish is delicious and beautifully presented, elevating the entire experience.

What truly sets Perla Negra apart is the outstanding service. The staff and owner go above and beyond to make you feel valued, creating an inviting vibe that enhances the evening. The infectious energy in the place makes it hard not to enjoy yourself.

Whether it's a night out with friends or a romantic date, Perla Negra is the ideal spot. I can't recommend it highly enough and can’t wait to return. Cheers!“

“Wonderful vibe. Nice music. Excellent Bartender #Sebastian“

“Beautiful cocktails and small bites. Super lovely and cocktail-knowledgeable staff.“

“Lanni's is a lovely, intimate restaurant with excellent food and service. They recently got a new chef who is a great addition. The menu has something for everyone and the portions are very generous. The space, while small, is very warm and inviting (beautifully decorated!) and the staff will make you feel at home.“

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

“I went to this establishment on Cinco De Mayo and when I mean they are the sweetest people ever. It’s a family owned restaurant and the atmosphere gives that. Me and my cousin was served right away. The drinks were delicious and the tacos 5 out of 5. Although I didn’t get to experience their entire menu because they just made a menu for that day I was so pleased. I had a conversation with one of the workers who took time out to speak with me and my cousin she gave us the history of their restaurant and more. God bless them. They gained a returning customer for sure. Can’t wait to go back and experience the full menu. If anyone loves authentic Mexican food and your in the Bronx please go check them out you won’t regret it.“

“Great atmosphere great food great vibe great service!!!!“

“I love the food, and the vibe and service were great. But for an average sized branzino, I didn’t expect to pay $68. Everywhere else in NYC, branzino typically costs around $36–$42 max.
I’ll definitely go back, but I wouldn’t order the branzino again.“

“The Wolfe was a great stop near the American Museum of Natural History. The happy hour special is a great deal. Our food came out fast, which helps when you have a hungry kid waiting. David, our server, was friendly and attentive. My son loved the sliders and finished them all. Go before or after the museum. We will be back. The tables have high stools but there is a booth on the other side of the table.“

“We had a wonderful meal there - all four entrees were excellent, the service was perfect, and the price is very reasonable. I wasn't expecting such a tasty meal!“

“Came in real quick to order food to go but didn’t expect the ambience to be so nice. The music and scenery is so nice. Definitely would return to dine in. It was a Thursday night around 10pm and it was full of energy. Rasta pasta was good too“

“Excellent atmosphere, amazing food, and such a fun experience! I went to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and we had an incredible time. The staff were wonderful, the music was great, and everything about this place was just perfect. I truly loved the whole experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, great vibes, and a fun night out! ❤🎶🍽“

“Everything about Mykos was first class Cuisine 5 star Atmosphere 5 star Cocktails 5 stars Wine selection 5 star Desert 5 star There was nothing about our first visit to Mykos Greek cuisine I would change.“

“We LOVO Boro6! It is out Friday night spot (but make sure you grab a reservation!). The staff are super friendly and always attentive. The food is always great — and the bread — I would just eat the bread and be happy! We need more places like this around Westchester! I hope they expand soon.“
