“Our group had a wonderful experience at Sullivan’s Quay. Delicious food, cocktails and great service. Thank you Brian and crew! We will be back!💕“

“Great food great customer service“

“Celebrated a special birthday with friend/family, always a great meal!“

“Great homemade chili. Some of the best French fries (get em Seasoned) I’ve ever had. Small joint so be prepared to wait for a seat or take out. What the staff lack In hospitality, they make up for it in their product. It’s almost comical...but I guess that’s part of the joy of this restaurant“

“Food is delicious, staff are friendly and courteous and the view is so relaxing“

“What an amazing, hidden treasure! Excellence in dining, experience, and atmosphere. Perfect from start to finish! Looking for a place to have a great experience… this is it!!!“

“We love going to Foster—at this point, you could say we’re regulars. We typically sit at the bar. We especially love their specials, and I’m still thinking about the elk burger I had last year (please bring it back!).The oysters are always fresh and delicious, and the fried chicken is absolutely amazing. Recently, I’ve been loving the salmon with corn and shishito succotash and blueberry teriyaki. Honestly, everything is consistently fresh and delicious.

John, the bartender, makes excellent cocktails—many with fun names like Silence of the Lambrusco. He puts a lot of care into his craft, from house-infused ingredients to thoughtful presentation. He also always keeps you hydrated with their house water, which I truly appreciate.

Happy hour is a great deal and is available at the bar only, Wednesday through Sunday from 5:00–7:00 pm, and all night on Mondays. We love ordering the wood-fired Margherita pizza and fried chicken wings for $12.36, along with their house margarita at $10.30—delicious and affordable.

When we do get a table, the service is always spot on.

We feel lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in our neighborhood.“

“Stopped in for a late lunch.. Usually have the Fajitas, but opted for the Taco's instead.. Split 16 Chicken Wings with my friend Paulie... Everything was Great.. Our waitress Michele who was very friendly and pleasant, made sure everything we ordered was ok... Thank you Michele...“

“Thank you. Guys for showing great hospitality two Maine boys who came down for work. Your staff was very friendly and hospitable,food was great. Thank you too the Lady and Gentleman who served us and recommended our meals. You made our trip back to Bangor, ME better. Thank you for the dessert.“

“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!!!“

“Stopped by for dinner with my partner, this place feels like a great hidden gem. Everything on the menu looked delicious. Our server Carlos gave us great recommendations and was mindful of my allergies. My partner and I ordered the Halloumi Salad and a cheeseburger. The service was great, our server Carlos made sure we were comfortable. Will definitely come back to try the other items.“

“Great spot for burgers and chicken sandwiches! The chicken platters are absolute fire too! 5/5“

“Service is always great and the food is amazing. Love to order 3 or 4 dishes and share. ❤️“

“I came here for a get together for a friend's graduation.

It's a really nice family-owned restaurant in the area. Would be a decent date spot, especially because of the outdoor seating... call ahead and see if you can bring a board game.

Kimchi burger was amazing and I'd come back just for that!“

“These prices r better in NJ. The lunch is 1099 and you also can take lunch out to go home. The only good thing here is that you can have the lunch time in and just have to wait to pack it up to take it to go home what's a lunch is 1299 here in N.Y. Also the food in NJ was cooked better I had to return the pasta for some new one cooked properly. Cold meat.“

“West End Cafe is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the service is seamless—the wait staff is incredibly attentive and makes you feel right at home. The food is standout, especially the Romano crusted chicken and the crispy duck tacos, which are packed with flavor. Pair your meal with one of their specialty cocktails, like the Sparkling French Martini for the perfect experience. Whether it's a quick bite or a long lunch, the vibes here are unmatched! 🥂✨“

“I had an amazing experience at Applebee’s Grill + Bar, and it was all thanks to Crystal, our waitress. From the moment we sat down, she was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. She made sure our drinks were always full, checked on us at the perfect times, and gave great menu recommendations.

What really stood out was her positive attitude and genuine care for the customers. Even though the restaurant was busy, she handled everything smoothly and made us feel like a priority. Service like this truly makes the whole dining experience better.

If you visit Applebee’s, I highly recommend asking for Crystal. She’s a fantastic waitress and a great example of what excellent customer service looks like. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“First-time visit. Food was delicious and the bartender/server, Peter, was friendly and efficient. Observing other patrons, all seemed to be quite pleased. I’ll be back😊“

“Got a new place for over rice items or gyro items. One word..Delicious. Food was really good. I always have the mix over rice. Also the gyro was very good. Food taste and quantity is really good and enough for a person. Food Cart. So either take away or eat inside your car. Updated prices and menu added.“

“Lamb special Chicken special Tuna Salmon pasta Impeccable service. Perfect evening“

“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 🎄❤️“

“Excellent selections of wine with plenty of expert suggestions. The food is inventive and designed to go with the wine. The family that owns, prepares and serves is warm and welcoming. My FH favorite!“

“Tuck’d Away has the BEST brunch in the area. I never had a more diverse brunch in my life. the entire staff is very attentive and professional. Michael is the best owner in the world I ever met - so fun to be around and cares about the community. Jason is a very fun and friendly bartender and Stephanie and the serving staff always make it feel like you belong. Halloween was so fun and I loved how he had a costume contest- that Mcdonlads Girl is VIP - she won. Oh and tinkerbell was cool too 🤣👍📸“

“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.“

“Louie’s has an extensive menu where can’t go wrong with anything on there! The service is quick and very friendly. I tend to get something different every time. It’s bar far my favorite diner.“

“My family and I went to Veranda restaurant in Bayside yesterday for. Birthday dinner. The restaurant is well located, with street parking and valet service as well. There’s an outdoor patio, that for obvious reason we couldn’t use. The temperatures in NY have been in the single digits lately. The food and the service were on another level! Gregory was very attentive, welcoming and friendly. The food was finger liking good! I had the pan seared scallops with spinach risotto and OMG. I can’t wait to go back. Everyone was pleased with the their food choices and I highly recommend this place, unfortunately I didn’t take pics of everyone’s food. Only if mine, I hope you find this review useful. Happy dining:)“

“There ribs are second to none“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Nancy’s restaurant the food is delicious with excellent customer service five stars for sure ❤️“

“Excellent food and service. A+++++“

“Delicious breakfast old style atmosphere“

“Our first time here. We will be back.
There is valet parking, which in 10 degree weather is a huge plus.
There was a coat check which is another perk.
Then we were seated in the main dining area in a lovely and comfortable table with a cloth tablecloth and napkins, which is a great commodity nowadays in an era where even upscale restaurants have given into.
The service was phenomenal.
Presented with warm fresh rolls along with the menus. A food menu and a drinks menu.
We dined a three course meal which was outstanding. From the starters to desert everything was cooked perfectly, plated and presented like an upscale restaurant should.
The meal, service and atmosphere was worth the price.
See you soon.“

“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.“

“nice atmosphere different than most, food good too“

“Absolutely fantastic! Impeccable food and service and the place is a plus: elegant and unique atmosphere. An added bonus is the outdoor dining area with great view to the golf course.“

“friendly, helpful service good food good dessert, love a good Fribble“

“Great service! Great food!“

“Great time with great friends.“

“So happy they’re back open. Restaurant has been renovated and they finally take cards now. They have a new chipotle sauce, I didn’t try it but I heard other patrons like it. Always get the Larry style eggs-you won’t regret it. Service is still on point.“

“Always a wonderful experience! This time around, I did not mention it but they acknowledged our anniversary with a couple of glasses of champagne and our children's bday, I wasn't expecting anything but it was thoughtful. Including the bday desserts for the kids.“

“the food, the service, old music“

“Went to my great nieces birthday and Baptism; Charlotte is 1 year old! Apparently, Wellington Grill is being rented as a special catering event location.
Very clean, lots of windows, 2 large rooms including a full bar on one side. A couple of areas for hors douerves and buffet or sit down dinner.
Food was amazing! You choose the menu!
I'd definitely rent this place for an event, party!“

“This place was great , we had such a good time“

“Found this place on our way from JFK to our house after a long flight. We could not have been happy with our experience. We had the pleasure of having Charlie as our server and he was personable and welcoming. The food was fresh delicious and served quickly. I had the waffle with fruit and Nutella it was excellent My husband had a tuna sandwich with french fries and fresh squeezed orange juice. Both really hit the spot after a long day of traveling. Will definitely make this our stop anytime we travel from JFK. Highly recommend.“

“The place is a vibe. The atmosphere and esthetics is everything. It has a great vintage, cozy, bookstore mature feels with these bold eclectic open frames. Food is good. Well presented but lacks flavor. Where the food lacks in the drinks make up in style. Service is attentive but not amazing. Overall. Great time. Great vibes. Would recommend and go again for the feel, not the food.“

“the best! I always go here for the best vegan and vegetarian dare“

“Decor probably hasn't changed in 40 years, which is part of its charm. Really good food (try the chicken scarp), and drinks. Prices are as low as you can get. If it's crowded expect a very slow kitchen.“

“the food was very delicious and the stars 🌟 🤩 😋 ✨ 😍 👌“
