“Delicious fresh food and amazing drinks! Celebrated my friend’s bday there and we had a 12 course menu! Great atmosphere and the DJ was a great touch! Had a great time at Kaizen.“

“Porta 23 in Astoria is a great place to enjoy brunch. The food is delicious and well prepared, making every dish very satisfying. The service is excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel welcome throughout the experience. The atmosphere is calm, cozy, and inviting, perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends or family. One of the highlights is their unlimited drinks option, where for just $23 extra you can enjoy 90 minutes of unlimited beverages with many drink choices available, making the brunch experience even more enjoyable.“

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

“Recently went and although the food and waiter staff were great, we were expecting what we seen on here. There was no performances. An empty space. Apparently there's a 2 hr gap between brunch and dinner. The booking site allowed for a 4pm reservation. When we arrived we were accommodated but looked at funny. We found out that brunch had ended at 3pm. I was really hoping for the full experience I seen here and paid alot and didn't get it.“

“Great little place with amazing ambiance and delicious food. Can't wait to come back.“

“Nice place! Enjoyed the mimosas.“

“Outstanding service from start to finish. The food is absolutely incredible, full of flavor and clearly made with care. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the music perfectly complements the vibe. The owner is a genuinely great person who truly enhances the overall experience.“

“The small plates and the desserts are fantastic.“

“Had a great time, Santiago was amazing to us! My partner was looking to having the fried fish but once we arrived we realized it was not on the menu anymore. We ordered the NY strip which had great flavor! Will definitely be back for another date night as it had great music and ambiance. Thank you Santiago for being so amazing!“

“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.“

“How is it possible that I didn’t review 4747lic here before?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Every time I go there for weekend brunch, I have to return for dinner! I just can’t get enough of the place. Their Dutch baby “Primadonna” pancake and lobster roll are to die for. Much of what is on the menu it’s imported from Italy of the finest ingredients. It’s always fun to take the ferry across from Manhattan to the Pepsi Cola Sign and walk a couple of blocks. They can accommodate large groups, children, pets, wheelchairs, (you name it) at their outdoor seating. Run there. 😊💕“

“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.“

“Great service and food. Great view of the bay. Parking in easy.“

“Beautiful restaurant, very homey and warm environment
Service was friendly and decent
Food was okay, definitely better options in Astoria and better priced, but portion sizes were very generous. The only dish we really didn’t like was the octopus, they serve it cold and had a funny after taste but everything else was good. Dakos salad was nice and ribeye was perfectly cooked. Lavraki was tasty“

“Wow place was amazing, food was delicious , service was excellent. Place is a must come back to for all occasions. music and dancing is also an extra.“

“Loved the food and cocktail menu. You can tell that the establishment knows their food, wine, etc and it comes off in the drinks and food!“

“The food and drinks are AMAZING! I fell in love with this place! I can’t wait to go back. (I had the best cocktail drink I have ever had in my life!) Thank you so much Artemio for your great service!“

“Fantastic place, super excellent attention from Felipe, the manager and the waitress Juliana. I loved the place, the atmosphere and the food. This place is a 10/10! If you are looking for a good atmosphere in Long Island City this is the perfect place.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!“

“Great place, really nice staff! Although, it was pretty empty there on a Sunday (1st time going), I wouldn’t have picked anywhere else to go that day. Nice furniture and aesthetics, delicious food and drinks, and great music 🎶 10/10 would go back there.“

“This is a wonderful, cozy place that truly impressed me with its attention to detail. From having phone chargers available to real hand towels in the restroom — everything feels thoughtfully done.

The staff is consistently attentive to every guest throughout the evening, even when the place is fully booked. You never feel rushed or overlooked.

Alan deserves a special mention — he made our evening unforgettable. It’s so clear when someone genuinely loves what they do, and that energy completely elevates the experience.

Thank you for creating such a warm, welcoming place. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Great staff! Lots of options to choose from and elderly and kid friendly!“

“It was a great evening celebrating my mom's birthday. The appetizers, entree, and dessert were great. The service was attentive, friendly and informative. The only thing I would change is that all the entrees should be served with the sides of rice and beans.“

“I threw a sweet 16 party for my daughter this weekend at this Restaurant and it was Amazing from the event planner Natasha for Agenda to the servers everyone was so very helpful Especially Chef Wilmer he was amazing through the whole process to me planning my event there to the day it was time to put everything together he was very helpful and his food was absolutely Amazing!! I wish I took pictures but it was gone to fast everyone was so patient and they were very accommodating Thank you Agenda!! For your Amazing service! And your tasty Amazing Food!!!“

“I did enjoy the food at Hellbender, but the service could have been better.
We were among the first guests seated, yet it still took about 5–8 minutes for our server to notice us and bring water.

The portion size of aguachile is quite small, considering the price. The Brussels sprouts lacked flavor.

On the positive side, the empanada was amazing, as were the mushroom tacos and fried cheese.

Update: The brunch menu is so good and tasty. The service was much better than our previous visit.“

“Karaoke night was great But need it more space for dancing“

“Absolutely a gem! The service by Katherine was amazing! So sweet! The food was muy delicioso! Fresh guacamole and shrimp tacos! Strawberry margaritas and Micheladas! Exceptionally clean! Will be back when I visit NY again! May be back before I head home to MD once my daughter gets home tomorrow!

feliz acción de gracias
Happy Thanksgiving!“

“Amazing, great service. We arrived late close to closing and they welcomed us with open arms. Besides that the service was great. Helpful with the choice selection of food and of course the taste was great. My belly is full and satisfied. Cocktails great as well and cute cups“

“One thing that really stood out was their attention to detail. From the beautifully presented dishes to the careful plating and clean, well-maintained space, it was clear that quality is a priority here. They also have a fantastic selection of wines and cocktails, which paired wonderfully with our meal.“

“We always enjoy the food and drinks here. Luisa was a great waitress and we had a nice time there. The chicken champignon (mushroom sauce) was delicious and loaded with mushrooms. Great classic margaritas for under $10 with lunch. ❤️“

“The best empanadas outside Argentina. The steaks are truly amazing. Great wine list and wonderful cocktails. Very friendly and attentive wait staff.“

“Amazing pizza, great service and vast menu. I love Nona’s Meatballs, spicy rigatoni, and the farro salad“

“Great food!! Great drinks! Just come and enjoy!“

“My first time at Hans Dynasty and the food was tasty.“

“Food and dessert were pretty good, could have been warmer. Sangria was good as well, service was good. Only thing that was confusing was the seating as they kept moving my sister up and down the stairs. I would definitely go back and try other things.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. I had the bleu cheese burger. The best I’ve ever had. No exaggeration. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Party of 3 ordered food via doordash. We had the crispy spring rolls appetizers to share which I liked. I had the basil fried rice with chicken, and it was really good. My friends had the kimao with duck, and the basil fried rice with grilled salmon. Everyone really liked their food. I felt that the quantity was pretty good for 1.5 meals as well. We were all really hungry, so it ended up being just dinner. Total including tips and taxes came to just under 100 bucks.“

“La comida riquísima buen servicio“

“Im at 5 burros always an awesome time. Can you say CHULETA? Chef Jaime has outdone himself.This is the most badass awesome chuleta I have seen in my whole life.“

The place had a fantastic atmosphere & the music was great, not to mention the service was perfect and the girls and crowd were absolutely gorgeous-WOW!!!

Avo Taco truly went above and beyond, and their contribution made this night truly unforgettable. As an organization that heavily relies on the generosity of local restaurants, we couldn't have asked for a more dedicated and enthusiastic partner than Avo Taco.

Avo Taco brought more than just delicious food to our event; they brought a whole atmosphere of festivity. Their staff's warm and friendly presence added a wonderful touch to the evening. The tacos they served were an absolute delight – bursting with flavor and prepared to perfection.

Avo Taco's generous contribution played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of our fundraising gala. It's businesses like these that make a significant difference in our community, and their dedication to giving back does not go unnoticed.

“es muy muy buana la comida y hermosas meseras muy amables tto“

“A very beautiful space with cozy sofas, interior and light. The food wasn’t something crazy about: we took potatoes, parsnip soup, and tiramisu latte, they were okay. The place by itself was a little bit dirty on the floor, and some details, as a server that didn’t know that tiramisu includes alcohol in a recipe, and the fact that the same coffee was served in different cups, brought a feeling of mess, however I want to come back for lazy mornings atmosphere.
We parked right near the main entrance, however it’s under construction zone now.“

“Very nice well deinks, amazing service and the food was good“

“The place is very clean from the entrance and has a nice décor that gives a good first impression. The restrooms are well maintained, which is something I always appreciate in a restaurant.

The service was friendly, the music added to the atmosphere, and the cocktail I ordered was quite good. The food was well presented and tasted great. Overall, everything was pleasant, and it’s a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal or a drink.“
