New American Restaurants near Woodhaven, NY

“The food is great here...I have tons of the pictures of the food I get. Unfortunately, you cannot eat in, only order out but still worth it. Give it a shot. Faves are steamed shrimp dumplings, very tasty & not a heavy dough like other places. Their house Special Fried Rice or lo mein are also good. They serve tostones which I always get along with their wings. I always call ahead to place order because they're always busy & it's a bit of a wait if you order at the counter.“

“So beautiful and so delicious!!“

“I feel guilty for wanting this place all to myself because it's so good. The staff handled my children's requests with grace. This place distinguishes itself clearly. Their menu offerings and service quality merit top rating. You should taste what this spot offers once.“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Strongly recommended! Perfect meal. Every dish was perfect mixed of flavors; and portions. And the service added on the amazingness of this place. We are looking forward to next season’s menu.“

“Went to Meadowsweet restaurant for dinner with my family. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were so attentive, helpful and nice. The food amazing!recommend this restaurant! We will be returning soon.“

“food was excellent Raven our server was top rate even though we were there for RW everything and everyone was on top of their game“

“Phenomenal experience! The food was all delicious and the service superb. The General Manager is perhaps once of the nicest people we've ever met, and he truly went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. We discussed how we had been so busy during our trip to the city that we didn't even have time to try NY pizza. During our tasting menu experience, an "off menu" item was brought to the table by the GM himself. Under the cloche was A PIECE OF PIZZA FROM HIS FAVORITE LOCAL SPOT. We will never forget this night and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a romantic, fine dining venue. We will be back!“

“From the moment we walked in, to our exit the atmosphere was superb and the staff is attentive but not overly so. From appetizers to main course, thru dessert everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. A true 10 out of 10 experience!“

“Muy buena cena, ambiente cool y buenas combinaciones. Por ser de un uruguayo mezclaría algo simbólico de allá en el menú, un guiño. Me gusto ir.“

“Great place. Definitely must come back again.“

“✨ Absolutely incredible! ✨
Everyone works with so much care and attention, and the whole experience was truly wonderful for me. The flavors were perfectly balanced, fresh, and simply outstanding. You can really feel the passion behind everything they do here. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“I was very unfortunately openly weeping intermittently throughout brunch (bad morning) but our server handled it perfectly and didn’t make it weirder than it already was. Shout out to that king! Also the food was very good and they played the entirety of being killed by geese which was pleasant. Would come again thank you for the extra napkins (high quality, great for dabbing at tears) xox and also my Bloody Mary was excellent“

“I took my boyfriend here to celebrate his birthday, and I just want to say that it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in my eight years of being in New York City. I'm a huge fan of this place not just because of the food, but because of the people behind the plates: the staff is incredibly attentive and kind. Special shout outs to Ronald, Anthony, Harley, and Kalvin, for going above and beyond and making this evening special and one I'll remember for a long time!“

“Great burger, slightly overpriced for what it was, but that's not surprising given the neighborhood location. A solid meal all around, wouldn't travel far out of way to visit. If you're in the area, definitely give it a shot.“

“Stumbled upon this place while trying to find some Hungarian and Romanian food in NYC and we were very happy to have found Oti. The customer service was excellent, very friendly staff, a delicious food. We were a group of 3 and decided to basically order one of everything off the menu and a bottle of wine to share and wow it was all delicious. Good prices and delicious authentic flavors. Highly recommend this place, we will be back again, hopefully soon!“

“five leaves was the first restaurant i visited on my first ever trip to nyc in 2017.
ever since then coming back here has become a tradition.
8 years on and the spot is still just as warm and welcoming, albeit way more busy which is incredible to see because the place deserves to thrive. easily my fav spot in the city (i fully blame the ricotta pancakes).
i haven’t been to nyc in years but coming back here today felt like coming home in so many ways.
thank you cody for taking such great care of me and thank you everyone at five leaves for even making a tourist feel like a part of the community. 🫶 (also pls restock those tote bags, the nation needs them!!)“

“A chic and unique wine bar featuring chocolate pairing.
Don't let the name fool you - there's also quite a bit to eat here...

We actually came for a night cap - had the must-have chocolate martinis, hazelnut and raspberry, both were delicious.
We also had a cheese platter and a fondue eith fruit, marshmallows and rice crispies.

While the cocktails were stellar - the rest was rather forgettable.
But it does feel like the unique combination of chocolate and wine should be enjoyed here.

All in all, a very recommended place for the lovers of both wine and chocolate.“

“Great food and staff. Damien was a pleasure to talk to. Great addition to the team. Best of luck to everyone“

“The food was on point, the snow crab and Hamachi were my favorite. The lamb chops and chicken w Porridge were also super delicious. The octopus and deviled eggs would be the third on the recommendation list.
I could pass on the Quail and Beignet Ice cream. Not bad for sure.“

“We had an exceptional dinner tonight. The food, the service and the ambiance all added up to a memorable evening. I want to especially highlight our server Francisco and the Manager Alex who went above and beyond to make us feel like old time regular guests. The icing on the cake was a hand written note to us congratulating our anniversary along with champagne and macaroons. I recommend everyone try this special place. We will be back.“

“Excellent Michelin Star restaurant. Very expensive though.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. No one needs to tell you that but what’s really cool is that my wife and I went and I’ve been drying out this September but still wanted an experience of trying a bunch of craft cocktails. They killed it. Every drink was so cool and I even bought one of the bottles (photo). It’s just super cool for a place this famous and established to still have a commitment to service so high they’ll cater to some clown who wants to explore off-menu, zero proof cocktails. Well done Blue Hill team, well done.“

“Want to make your pallet dance? Of course you do! Boutros is the place to go from their tantalizing cocktails to their original baba ghanoush and falafel you’ll be simply amazed. Old school, traditional recipes with a twist of new flare. Mikey is a wizard for creating his cocktails. I had the pleasure of trying two of them that he created after thinking about them for 12 years and I highly recommend them the Garlic Gibson and the Bitter tree, both are amazing. Allen, who is the chef and owner and named this quaint little place after his dad will delight you with his specialties my Sister and I had the mushroom hummus. The short rib wraps are beautiful salad and baba ghanoush to name a few. Hurry up, you won’t be disappointed!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Couldn't have picked a better place to dine in Midtown. The staff/management were welcoming from the start (our waiter in particular could not have been more personable and accommodating), the food and drinks were delicious, and to top it all off, they gave my daughter a surprise birthday celebration for the ages — complete with a robot to deliver the churros donned with sparklers and singing that engaged the whole restaurant! Thank you, Carla; we'll be back!“

“The best 5 course meal my wife and I have ever had thus far. Our hands down favorite, and rightfully so as sushi fanatics, was the hamachi. Talk about fresh on fresh on fresh on fresh. Fresh fish, fresh fruit, fresh sauce, fresh cream, fresh presentation—insanely delicious and refreshing.

The tiger bread was some of the most exceptional bread we've ever had as well. The garlic was as buttery smooth to spread as the whipped butter itself, and was pleasantly flavorful without being overly potent.

My next course was the butternut squash rigatoni. The garnish on top was light and crisp and added that extra accent to the whole dish to round it off beautifully. My wife got the iberico pork, which was cooked to tender perfection. The broccoli mash concoction that came with it was reminiscent of broccoli rabe but basically in it's ultimate form anime-style. Crazy inventive.

The next course for me was the beer battered monkfish with risotto and was actually the best beer battered anything I've ever tasted. Superior crisp encasing that mouth melting fish. The risotto had crispy chunks in it as well and helped offset the heaviness of the fried fish like a wife offsets her husband's hard shell exterior and gives way to his heart of flesh. Speaking of, my wife got the lamb with risotto and it was yet again a perfectly tender cut of meat. It was smokey and carried a more intense flavor, which also was rounded out by the gentleness of the risotto, complimenting it on that marital level yet again.

Lastly, the desserts came in and ended the whole show the same way it began—with favorite-level energy. It was the solid second favorite course for both of us. Mine was the panna cotta. Yo. It went crazy. It was like a salted caramel apple cheesecake, but after finding a way to dial in each ingredient to the max before artistically laying it all out on a plate without any of the cheesecake crust. I LOVE sweet/savory, and it encapsulated that in a dessert beautifully. My wife had the chocolate cake with ice cream, and like we don't even know how to properly describe how good that one was—but here goes nothing. The cake was dark dark and rich rich from the sauce oozing on top to the moist pastry itself. The ice cream had a citrus undertone to it that balanced out the richness of the cake. Literally, yin and yang on a plate with the freshest chocolate drenched cherries on top. Good Lord, the Lord is good indeed.

The service was top notch, from the warm greetings, to the coat check in, to the menu break down, to the seamless water refilling and course transitions. We are big on omakase type meals as sushi heads, and this was up there while being a fraction of the price. There was a chill and comforting vibe to the whole restaurant as well. Take a trip here and let them take your palette on a trip it will sing praises on the whole way through. Bless.“

“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. 😊💕“

“Delicious Carbonara and friendly service!“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Blown away by interior design, topped with finger-licking food, friendly service, and such a well crafted drinks!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Clover Hill exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and creative. I feel there is always one dish in a tasting menu that is a disappointment or lack luster but that was complete untrue here — each dish was a star.

The service was excellent and the staff was so kind and accommodating. The pace of the meal was also spot on.

The wine pairings were exceptional!! We have strong opinions in this area and were surprised and delighted by Debbie’s choices. Highly recommend adding the pairing

Thank you to the clover hill team for taking such great care of us!“

“This Thi restaurant in Brooklyn was so delicious if you like Thi give this a go. Wednesday 40% off wine. It'scalled Lingo. The food was so exciting and balanced flavors! Their bold original menu reflects a deep love of flavors as well as an educated chef who pulls off their amazing flavors. Can't recommend enough!“

“Great brunch menu, salmon cured in-house and Rose de Provence on tap! Happy and fast service top off a fabulous visit!“

“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service“

“Prix fixe $75 pp ($60 on Tuesdays). All four courses were creative and delicious. Wines by the glass were nice. Portion size of the vegetarian entree option (gnocchi) felt a bit small compared to the roast chicken. Charming room, very kind service. 20% autograt applied to all checks. I'll be back.“

“Based just on service, this place deserves 5 stars but the food and the orchestration of the whole visit deserves a Michelin star. The scallops are incredibly mindful and memorable. If you want to be blown away, skip dessert and opt for the pb and j with foie Gras instead. Wow. amazing experience“

“One of my favorite NYC restaurants!!!!“

“An incredible spot that reminds one of a New York (Brooklyn) that is hard to find these days. Laid back, incredible atmosphere, great people, wonderful music, a brilliant cocktail menu and surprisingly excellent food for such a small kitchen. And no reservations!“

“Incredible food and cool vibe🎼🍷😎“

“An Unforgettable Culinary Experience at Bar 56 – Brooklyn’s Hidden Gem

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Bar 56 in Brooklyn this evening, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Nestled in the heart of the DUMBO district, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, this spot is not just a restaurant – it’s a destination.

From the moment we walked in, we were enchanted by the stylish, warm and inviting atmosphere. The space is beautifully designed and creates a perfect setting to enjoy a leisurely and elevated meal with nice background music and perfect ambient lighting.

We opted for several small plates to share, including fresh oysters, a divine tuna tartare, and outstanding ravioli. As a side, the Brussels sprouts were simply exceptional. Every bite was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and executed with finesse. The food alone would have been enough to make this a memorable night.

The wine list is a standout feature: original and thoughtfully curated, allowing guests to choose based on flavor profiles rather than just region or grape. We enjoyed a wonderful bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio that complemented our dishes perfectly.

Our evening was made even more special thanks to the impeccable service. A huge thank you to Yajaira – warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Toward the end of the evening, we had the pleasure of meeting Chef Quintin Demarre, a passionate French chef whose love for food and taste shines in every dish. His enthusiasm and dedication to his craft truly elevate the entire experience.

And we can’t forget the desserts (Pistache Crème Brûlée and Apricot Granita) – absolutely phenomenal. Rich, inventive, and beautifully presented. We ended with a nice glass of Royal Tokaji white (dessert) wine from Hungary. The perfect sweet ending to an already flawless meal.

Bar 56 is an absolute must-visit for anyone in New York City. It’s worth the short trip to Brooklyn just to experience this level of culinary excellence and genuine hospitality in a great upcoming area. Michelin-worthy in every sense. We’ll definitely be back – and we’ll be telling everyone we know to go.“

“Florentin, a Mediterranean gem on Amsterdam Avenue, understands something essential: that hunger is both physical and aesthetic. Florentin offers the kind of Mediterranean cooking that makes you remember why we gather around tables in the first place.

The Florentin salad arrives like a small rebellion against November chill. The light green shishito peppers—prepared in some novel way the kitchen won’t quite reveal—manage to be both familiar and different. The sea bass is respectfully handled. The steak frites is what steak frites aspires to be in its dreams.

Service here operates with a quiet competence that’s increasingly rare. The staff listens.

I suggested they consider live music—a jazz singer, perhaps someone with Juliet Ewing’s smoky presence. The waitress seemed receptive. Every restaurant is a work in progress, after all. We build our pleasures incrementally, adjusting as we go.

Worth your attention.“

“🥂🥂🥂lovely night, great hospitality, lots of fun 🤩“

“Wow, JG and JB did a fabulous job creating this restaurant. The front of of the house and the back are all working in sync.
Will was fabulous and our Sommelier was on top of his game.
We only wish we arrived earlier to see Chef Benno before he left.
This is a place to hit for top top top food, drinks and service.“

“Kind responsive staff serving delicious breakfast.“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“We went back for restaurant week! It was an exceptional value. The food was delicious wth generous portion. The service was attentive. We all loved the Roasted Chicken Breast dish on the menu. The skin was cooked crispy and the meat was tender and juicy. The eggplant was perfectly roasted. And all went really well with the sauce! I was so tempting to lick the plate at the end....“

“The most incredible meal I have ever had. Thank you.“

“Delicious food, great service, amazing ambiance… Highly recommended!“
