“The cocktails are competently-ish made, if nothing spectacular, though it's nice to see the Jet Set theme continuing with both an Aviation and a Paper Plane on the menu. It's decidedly not a craft cocktail spot, though it definitely would be amazing if it were. It's a hotel bar. It's a hotel bar with hotel bar prices. But what a hotel. What a hotel!

Get a Martini. Enjoy the mother of all conversation pits. Watch the art on the big split-flap board.“

“💯👌 Drinks ✅ Food ✅ Vibe ✅“

“This little gem is so New York, and I had the best time here last Saturday night. It’s a tiny space run by a lovely husband-and-wife team that makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. The set menu was outstanding, with so many great flavor combinations, many of them inspired by traditional Nepali dishes. They also offer a thoughtfully chosen wine pairing that complemented the food really well. Service was excellent throughout, and I especially enjoyed hearing the stories behind each dish and the inspiration that went into creating them. Overall, just an outstanding dinner and a place I can’t wait to return to.“

“Can’t believe this place doesn’t have 6 stars. Favorite new spot in the neighborhood.

Vibes vibes vibes. Truly a vibe wondeful spot to be.

Food and drinks are unique and fantastic. Portions are small, but like, very much by design? Like that’s what they’re going for shareable plates. Especially liked the 30 slices of beef skewer.

Loved every cocktail I got. Milk punch and the caipariniha riff (can’t remember the name). Just lovely, tasty, unique drinks.

Staff was so welcoming and warm. You feel like you’re a guest in the home of the people who work there and they all live together.

Music did seem a little loud when I walked in, but then I didn’t notice it. Didn’t have trouble hearing, and great music.

I will be back many times.“

“We had our wedding at Rialto and couldn’t imagine a perfect ceremony and reception.

Dominic and the Rialto team were incredible. Super attentive and went out of their way to make sure our day was as special as can be.

We have no idea how but they managed to make sure the food was always fresh and hot when served, even the branzino, which is not easy to do all at once for ~75 people. Seriously impressive.

They really outdid themselves and we will definitely come back to Rialto for dinner which now holds a special place in our hearts. ❤“

“Not only the best Persian food I’ve ever had, but one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The lamb ribs are an absolute MUST. Everything is fresh & delicious, traditional yet innovative. 10/10 and I will be dreaming of this meal for a long time. Lovely staff and vibes as well.“

“I definitely recommend ! Perfect spot to hangout with family and friends ! Thank you abhi for a very fun weekend“

“A warm welcoming place offering French Creole cuisine from Reunion island. A compact menu offering very reasonably priced apps and mains, and a lot of lentil and rice. Ordered the sampler though a few items we wanted were out. Tender coconut shrimp and beef Bourguignon entrees were excellent. We were well taken care of by the staff.“

“Be sure to check out karaoke on Mondays. The karaoke system they use is Karafun. It has a wide selection of songs. The karaoke mics are a little faulty, meaning they will go in and out during your songs.
All the Bartenders are no-nonsense, so it does feel pretty strict, but I'd rather that bartenders who chat too much with their friends and always take smoke breaks...
Drinks are reasonably priced, and the alcohol pour is sometimes too weak.“

“Off City is truly one of the most unique and enjoyable places I've visited in Astoria. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by an amazing atmosphere that's both inviting and intriguing. The entire experience feels thoughtfully curated, making it a place you genuinely want to spend time in.
What really sets Off City apart is the staff. The employees are incredibly engaged, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers. Their level of involvement and customer service is second to none, they make you feel valued and appreciated from start to finish.
The combination of the great ambiance, outstanding service, and overall experience makes Off City a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something special in Astoria. It's refreshing to find a business that takes such pride in creating a memorable experience for every guest.
I'll definitely be coming back. Keep up the amazing work!“

“A friend recommended this place so, today, we decided to give it a try. We arrived there right after they open and the place was empty- as expected. We sat in the patio. The space is clean, small but cozy and well decorated. Nice atmosphere; however, I couldn't help but wonder where was the emergency exit because I felt a bit confined with tables, chairs, restaurant equipment, kitchen and restrooms within inches- not even feet- of each other. But anyway, the servers were friendly and didn't rush us to order. I liked that. We ordered an espresso martini, a passion fruit margarita and a lemonade. We also had the chicken empanadas, the bbq wings and the shrimp taco. Everything was good and presented in good timing. We liked that the background music is diverse and the volume right on point.
I'm giving 4 stars because I found it a little pricey. The Golden Hour prices are just a couple of dollars less than the regular prices and, one more thing, the place is not handicap accessible and older folks may have to be careful with the steps at the entrance and the limited space inside.“

“This is honestly one of the best Japanese restaurant in NYC! As a raw fish lover, I’m always looking for places that serve truly high quality fish, and this place absolutely delivers. Super fresh fish, and an amazing dining experiences!“

“This bar is amazing and is one of my favorites in the neighborhood. They have fantastic Happy Hour deals ($10 cocktails and $1 oysters). The oysters are huge and fresh.

Also wanted to give a huge shout out to the jazz band on Sundays. They’re incredible musicians and really elevate the experience.

Highly recommend this gem of a bar!“

“Muy bueno y elegante lugar.“

“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.“

“the place is phenomenal the pizza is outstanding you get treated with love like family once you walk through those doors the cocktails are creative and delicious Caesar salad oh my God but the pizza unbelievable I recommend this place to the world🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕“

“Excelente lugar mi respeto o para el dueño excelente servicio al cliente no como 809 ahí es lo mismo la misma pela“

“I stumbled upon this place by accident while browsing the map, and it turned out to be an incredible culinary experience. The special summer menu was especially impressive. I tried the burrata, steak tartare, summer tomato soup, striped bass, and the Harvest Burger—every dish was delicious. Friendly staff and a wonderful, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better.“

“Incredible cocktail/beer bar with a completely original vibe. I've been coming here since they opened in 2015 and it's been a consistently fun experience. Beyond their great cocktail/beer lineup, their greatest offering is perhaps the unique array of frozen drinks that start up in Spring and last until the autumn. Frozen paper planes, penicillins, a boozy take on a mango lassi (!)...and so much more. And a hell of a backyard to boot...you simply gotta go here.“

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“Best old fashions in Astoria.“

“Had an amazing time. The staff were super nice. Would definitely recommend and go back.“

“Always a great time at Skytown !!!“

“Brooklyn native but just moved into this area with my man, so we had to check this place out. Stopped in mid-day for food and drinks and it did not disappoint!

We ordered karaage, hamachi crudo, a roll, shishito peppers, brussel sprouts, scallop ceviche, and the spicy salmon crispy rice. Everything hittt

Had some unfiltered sake and a cocktail.
And Mikey behind the bar was amazing, super attentive, made excellent recommendations, and took care of us the whole time. One of the best food and service experiences we’ve had in Brooklyn.

New neighborhood spot unlocked. We’ll be back.“

“food is amazing and cocktails even more so. highly recommend!“

“Had a great time at Bar Dalia having a birthday party yesterday. Ricky, Crystal and Megan made sure everything went smooth. Bryan was very helpful in coordinating and planning. We had about 20 guests in the back lounge area which was just for our party. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was very quick. Highly recommend for having parties or going on date nights.“

“There are many excellent Greek restaurants in Astoria and Ambrosia Garden can hold its own with all of them. The decor is splendid. It feels like you are being teleported to an intimate Greek island. Pavlos, our server, was top notch. Every dish we had was on point. The meal started with fresh house baked bread and olive oil. Excellent. We then ordered the Hellenic salad, tzatziki, a couple of glasses of Cava and some wine. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, my wife and mother in law ordered two branzinos and my father in law ordered the cod special. I loved it all. My father in law thought that the cod was too salty and Pavlos was extremely apologetic. He proceeded to give us a couple of desserts on the house. Amazing. Each are done in house and they are special. We had a sticky cake layer topped with a cream and pistachio. It was divine and then we had their famous orange cake. So good. I finished off the meal with a perfect double espresso. Thank you Pavlos and thank you Ambrosia Garden for a wonderful experience.“

“Came here in for a quick drink while I was waiting for a show and couldn’t be happier. Friendly staff, great drinks and a very relaxing atmosphere. If you are looking to unwind after a long day with a perfectly crafted drink this is the place to go. Austin was my bartender and I had the Gentlemen Buck.“

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

“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!“

“Service was great, friendly and the dishes came pretty fast. The horchata tasted fresh and made with love, not watered down like other restaurants I’ve tried before. I ordered the octopus tacos and didn’t have high expectations because most restaurants don’t cook octopus correctly, but THIS PLACE NAILS IT. It was perfection. SO SO SOOOO good. I will definitely be thinking about this meal for a while and will come back to try more dishes!“

“Wonderful food in a beautiful garden setting ( indoor seating also French cozy)“

“everything was delicious, atmosphere was fantastic, service was great. Highly recommended!“

“I tried the Wandering Barman's collection of cocktails over the weekend, and I must say that they exceeded all expectations! These handcrafted drinks were fresh and tasted better than if a professional bartender had just made them. I can't wait until they are available in Washington, they will be a staple in my home bar! Cheers!“

“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.“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“unos delos mejores restaurantes en la cuidad de long island la comida es espectacular con sabor criollo ..el ambiente muy familiar“

“Great spot for a date night or just sitting by the bar for small bites and drinks! The food here was amazing. We've been here a few times and usually get a few small plates to share and every dish is fantastic, particularly the Spanish meatballs and the fresh calamari! The drinks are always great and feel like they're made with fresh ingredients!

This is definitely a hidden gem for those who are local but also deserves all the hype it can get.“

“I recommend everyone that requires excellent pallet for their dining pleasure, service that is second to none and great mixology, then Have It Haviland’s Way“
