Went to Smoke & Mirrors on a Sunday for brunch and had a great experience. The food was really good, the atmosphere was nice and relaxing, and the service was amazing from start to finish. They also had a live DJ who was playing great music and really added to the vibe. Definitely a spot I’d come back to again. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in Astoria!

Went this morning purchased a strawberry latte which was good, a blueberry tart which I asked to be warmed up and it was not warm . I also purchased a cinnamon roll. The atmosphere is 10 out of 10. Ambiance and background tunes are a calm vibe. Before leaving I purchased a coconut water the male server/ cashier felt the need to check my twenty for authenticity 🤔 out of a line of cash paying customers, who were not black whose money was not checked for authenticity! Duly noted !

Warm, snug eatery with brick-clad walls offering Italian dishes & pies with creative toppings.
Great service. Friendly staff. Delicious bread and amazing food. Definitely top quality. Was here for my friends baby first birthday. The weather worked out really well and we end up being in the backyard. The food is so much and great energy from the staff. They offer drinks and almost can’t walk out of here straight with the food. I love the pizza. I think the burger can use some improvement but it okie. Their brunch menus is impressive thou. French toast is on the spot.

We had a fantastic dinner at Bar Bête. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. My personal favorites were the chicken liver parfait and the caramelized duck breast, both were outstanding. The service was also excellent. We’ll definitely be back!

Love this spot. A staple of the local neighborhood. The entrees were perfect and nicely seasoned. Hummus was delicious. Shish kabob, skirt steak, baby chicken were all very juicy. Shnitzel super crunchy. Intimate atmosphere and excellent service.

Had a great experience here! The atmosphere was really nice and comfortable, and the servers were super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and full of flavor, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. Everything was worth it, and I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend! 😊

We’ve tried all of the local Peruvian chicken and Maspeth and today we tried Andrea‘s chicken! Winner! Fresh, delicious, service was impeccable! We will be going back! We will try dining in next time. It’s a very quaint, clean restaurant! We had delicious margaritas while we were waiting for the chicken.. Super yummy ! Thank you!

Went to Cap't Loui - Cajun Seafood Boil restaurant in New York for a seafood feast. Ordered the 4 lbs seafood boil combo packed with bold flavors. Everything was fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Also tried the lobster roll with crispy fries on the side. Finished with oysters that were clean and delicious. Ended with their yummy desserts. A satisfying seafood experience worth every bite.

This meal was absolutely delicious. The pork chops were juicy and well-seasoned, the rice was flavorful the beans were creamy and rich. The guacamole and pico added a fresh touch that brought everything together perfectly. Overall, a really satisfying and tasty plate. I’d definitely have it again. 😁👌🏼

Counter-serve frozen yogurt chain offering many toppings, plus smoothies & shakes in a sleek space.
I used to enjoy going here, but the quality seems to have dipped. Not only did I get a paltry amount of yogurt for the amount of money I spent (9.25 for a small with 2 sparse toppings), the fruit options were either out or in poor shape. It just isn't worth it to return.

Tried Rome to Brooklyn and ordered a Grandma, Cheese, a Meat Lovers, plus 4 garlic knots. Overall, really good pizza. The cheese and meat lovers were 🔥 flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what you want when you’re in the mood for solid NYC pizza. The garlic knots were also a win. The Grandma slice, though? Looked beautiful, but flavor-wise it didn’t hit the same for me. Might just be personal preference, because everything else was on point. Only other thing: it’s a little overpriced… but also

I couldn't choose between which pastries so I ended up getting about 10 of them. All of the pastries were so good. I tried a walnut bread that was covered in powder sugar and inside had a sweet cream, I also had a sweet bread with a cream inside, a croissant with a cream inside and strawberries, a pastry that had nutella inside of it, a lemon donut (I forgot the name of it) it had a flaky crunchy texture, a long donut, and a few other things. All items weren't too sweet. They were all so good! I

Great work/study cafe with wide tables and spacious interior. Their wraps are good and you get 50% off on drinks if you order a food item between 11-3pm I think. There’s only one table that has an outlet so make sure your laptop is fully charged!

Horrible customer service. I went there June 10th around 1 pm. 2 ladies where at the front desk. Both were very rude. The counter was completely disgusting and dirty. My appetite went away .

Elegante in my opinion is the best pizzeria in bay ridge. I ordered the meatball roll which they pepperoni is also hallah and they care about the community. The meatball roll was made fresh none of there food just sits out at all. They make it fresh on spot to your liking. The pizza is fluffy but crispy on the bottom at the same time. Amazing pizzeria in bay ridge it’s a landmark.

Offbeat chain serving cornmeal-crusted pizzas with quirky Cajun toppings in a kid-friendly space.
Best pizza I tried in NYC hands down!!! They had amazing vegan options and great customer service. The vegan cleo pizza is the BEST!! Sadly I don't live in NYC, but if I did I would be visiting this place all the time. It's a cute and cosy little restaurant and a perfect place to stop if you are walking around Central Park and want a good slice (or multiple) of amazing pizza at a good price. Highly recommend!

Came here on a Sunday during lunchtime and it was pretty busy but not completely packed. Was seated immediately and orders came out pretty quick. Got a set menu with the original broth noodles with beef, crispy coconut lava balls as a side and the kumquat drink. Separately ordered beef tripe sauerkraut noodles, and the scallion sauce cucumbers. Even though it's a noodle shop, my favorite dish was the scallion sauce cucumbers. The sauce was so delicious and refreshing with the cucumbers. The nood

Food was very good, but it took about 45-60 minutes (no exaggeration) for any of the main course to hit the table. We sat in a large group so we gave them some grace but we were all tired and full by the time everything arrived. Besides that the owner is a sweet lady and the staff were accommodating.

I live in North Carolina, and every time I come to New York, I make sure to visit Cafe Gallery. I’ve been going there for years, and I absolutely love the welcoming atmosphere, delicious homemade food, and amazing drinks. Last week I visited NYC again and went to Cafe Gallery — and WOW! The moment I walked in and saw the renovation, I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like I walked into a completely new restaurant. Everything looks absolutely beautiful and modern while still keeping the same wa

Gyros, souvlakia & other traditional eats in a petite, Greek-inspired space with a casual ambiance.
I stopped by Greek Express and ordered a Gyro:Vertical slow roasted lamb and beef mix with spices, thinly sliced and wrapped in pita with tomato, onions, lettuce, and tzatziki." Instead, I was served what tasted like a cheap processed sausage. It had no visible meat fibers or texture at all—just a compressed, paste-like mass with a sour, soy-like flavor. It bore little resemblance to the lamb and beef described on the menu. I was very disappointed, especially considering that this was not an ine

Girasol is a great place if you are looking for bread, food and drinks. When I say drinks is your topical aguas frescas, can sodas, coffee etc. I have it 4 stars for the food because sometimes is a hit or miss depending on who is cooking it. But it isn’t bad it’s always tasty. I love getting my ice coffee from here because they offer almond and oat milk. And my lactose intolerant stomach appreciates it so much! The coffee still reasonably priced compared to other coffee shop which is great! S

Long-running chain serving signature breakfast items & a variety of coffee drinks.
I come to this store pretty often cause it comes in way to college, and it never disappoints. The coffee is always fresh, and I usually get donuts, bagels, or a sandwich, everything tastes good and is made right. The staff is super friendly and quick, even when it’s busy. The place is clean, and the vibe is nice for a quick stop or to sit and enjoy your coffee. Definitely one of my go-to breakfast spots. Would 100% recommend this location! 💯💯💯

CHEAP EATS 🤠 A shabby joint that serves up decent dumplings for a fraction of the normal price. The reviews weren’t bad so I gave it a try. I passed by many times without a thought. The veggie fried dumplings were okay. So were the beef pancakes, I ate 2. The chives pancake was undercooked and the dough was still a bit raw. Don’t expect much, for under $10, it will satisfy your hunger. A good place to bring a date if you suspect she’s a gold digger. Bring her here a few times and I promise

Best vegan soft serve I've ever had in my life. I was so skeptical because im a die hard dairy snob and usually dislike non dairy alternatives. It was so hot and i needed a treat so figured id try it after seeing all pristine 5 star review. WELL DESERVED ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The matcha soft serve was remarkable I have never had non-dairy ice cream taste that way and feel that way. They also top it with cacao nibs olive oil and sea salt if you want and it's perfection the combination is glorious. Whatever

This is an absolute hidden treasure. The food was so good, if I lived local it would 💯 be my go-to place to visit. The staff were super friendly, we kind of felt like we were visiting our grandparents home, that's how comfortable & caring they were to us. If you haven't been to visit, GO, you won't be disappointed.

Such a hidden gem, please don’t get too popular and change on us!! 😄 Highly recommend this spot!

Bouncer doesn’t know how to read foreign IDs and got into shouting match with people. Followed up with saying he enjoys that and was having fun when people tried to check him for getting so angry. Ended up going to another bar and he followed us down the block, not once but twice?? Extremely weird behavior and concerning. Love this bar but that was a crazy and unfortunate experience.

Absolutely horrible experience at this Chipotle. The service was bad from the moment I walked in even though there was no one ahead of me, the staff took their time and basically ignored me while I stood there ready to order. No acknowledgment, no “I’ll be right with you,” just watching them move around and put on gloves one by one like I wasn’t even there. Checkout wasn’t any better. The cashier had a serious attitude while I was trying to pay, like I was bothering her by ordering food. And t

Blow up the seafood quality of this restaurant! The serving size for four people is tightly controlled, the scallops and steamed eggs are tender enough to slide down the throat, and the sea bass is fully cooked. Whether it's crispy or boiled, they are so fresh that your tongue trembles! Not only is the food good, but the staff in the store also have a great service attitude and treat every customer like a family. I will come back to this store again next time!

Down-to-earth bar offering a selection of coffee, wine & craft beer, plus snacks.
Beautiful local spot to sunset park with many drinking options and just a home like environment. It definitely has a good selection of drinks and the staff member was super friendly. The drinks are priced pretty cheaply in my opinion and they taste delicious. They are always changing stuff out but we lived in this area for a few years and it was our first time trying it out. Will definitely be back and would recommend friends/strangers to check it out. Especially with the summer time coming upw

Do not go there if you are a woman of color. Cane with my friends, we are friends with the dj and were on his list, the HOSTESS (tall, skinny, black hair) was rude to another level. We gave our names, she went to talk to someone, came back and took all of my friends name and then proceeded to say “that list has been closed, you can’t come in.

Sweetea has a 4.8 rating and now I understand why. The taro mochi cheese foam milk tea was really good. The mochi was soft and chewy but not sticky, and it blended nicely with the taro. The cheese foam was light and not overly salty. We also tried the mango mochi pop. Even with no sugar it still had natural sweetness from the real mango jam and the popping pearls. Mango and milk actually work really well together. The cookies here are house-made and surprisingly good. The pecan cookie was my

Wow. This is the nastiest experience I’ve ever had with a restaurant in my life. First, I ordered sesame chicken with pork fried rice, no onions. I could tell the guy taking my order was struggling to understand me and repeated myself a couple of times. He tried to confirm, “so no vegetables?” But I said “no, vegetables are okay, just no onions” I got to the store, came back home and there were onions inside, and no other vegetables. I was okay just eating around it for a while until I realized

I visited Sunnyside Up Coffee when they had only been open for about two weeks. I ordered coffee, eggs, and bacon, and the bill came to around $20. The place is nice, clean, and the staff was very friendly. I would rate the service a 9 out of 10. As for the food, it was good, although I feel there is still some room for improvement in terms of flavor. However, considering that the business was brand new at the time, that's something that will likely improve as they continue to grow. I like hav

Established counter-serve Italian restaurant offering pizza, hot subs & pastas in modest quarters.
The slice has that classic NYC fold with a thin, crispy crust that holds up well—no 'Brooklyn flop' here. The sauce has a nice balance of sweetness and tang, and the cheese-to-crust ratio is spot on. It’s a solid 4-star slice that hits the spot every time

Roasted Salmon Onigiri ($6.35) - this tasted good! I loved the fact that the Nori seaweed (used to wrap the rice balls) were crispy. I've had onigiri at other places that were chewy to eat a

This place used to be at Lawrence St but now they're at Willoughby. They move in January 2023. The place is bigger but still needs some work. It feels like a space in a way. Compare to their previous location they don't even put the posters of their new drinks inside which makes it kind of difficult to even know what's new. The people there are very nice. Great place to get some good bubble tea.
