Sleek modern design at this trendy Astoria hang out. I went here when I was waiting to meet a friend and I thought the atmosphere was very nice, it was chilled with friendly staff and some cool '80's tunes playing. I can't comment on the food, but from what I saw it is pretty much your standard bar type of food with a Greek accent added to it. My Frapeé Cafeé was delicious but the froth to coffee ratio was on the high side - I sent a photo to Greek friends in the UK who agreed with me lol. Prices are a little on the high side for a neighbourhood place in Queens but overall it was a good experience. read more

Always recommend!! Great food! Nice ambiance! Phenomenal Coffee And, the best- biscotti Nutella crepe! Thank me later read more

Staff and service were great!!! We were impressed that they gave us two table choices. Loved the ambiance and high energy vibe! There was a DJ during diner service which made it fun and lively! Unfortunately, the food wasn't the best quality. I did hear great things about their brunch so maybe we will go back to try their brunch menu. We highly recommend for drinks and a fun night out. read more

Maybe ordering risotto at a Greek restaurant wasn't a good option but every other plate after was just as bad. Probably the most bland and unseasoned food I've ever had in my life which is a shame because the place itself is beautiful. There was a sweet woman walking around who I believe was the owner. She made sure to speak with every table and engage, very hospitable. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for service. Our server was rude and had this sarcastic attitude anytime we made small requests for example no tomatoes. The drinks were very weak no liquor at all read more

Service is just horrible 25 min for a drink. Guacamole was turning black didn't even bother ordering anything else. Horrible experience the manager Eddie also needs to know how to also control his drunk patrons. read more

Amazing breakfast food along with sweets. I personally love their mud cake it is always so sweet, hot, and fresh. The ice cream always feels very refreshing after drowning in the flavor from the mud cake. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The new renovation has definitely brightened the outside and inside of the establishment. Pricing has definitely gotten much higher after that, so I would state that this is more of an exception compared to other cafes and bars nearby. read more

Martini Thursdays? How much better can it get? DJ is in the house and the vibe is vining real nice. Go there on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays or Anydays. Everything's gonna be alright. read more

I've been waiting to come here for a while now and I wasn't disappointed. I came here for brunch on a Sunday and everything was amazing. As for the food and drinks review: Drinks Sangria: 4/5 Avenue Royal: 4/5 Food Calamari: 4/5 Brunch burger: 5/5 Avenue club sandwich: 5/5 Portions are big. Our waitress and other wait staff were also very kind and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant is gorgeous! Will be returning! read more

Service was very attentive, shout out to the waitress. I forgot her name, but a very pleasant and hard working lady. I visited for brunch, and there is a bottomless drink option for $25. I tried the red sangria, and it felt a little heavy on consistency to me. I like some translucency in my sangria, and this drink was the darkest red sangria I have ever had. I tried the mimosa too, for me if had way too much OJ, no fizz at all. Both drinks are served out of premade batches. I tried a cranberry margarita, separately, and way too much cranberry for an $18 drink. Pancakes were just ok, I expected more fluff than your average diner pancakes honestly. Omelette was ok and by far the best choice, the fries are above average. Next up the steak and eggs, which was ok. Eggs cooked to perfection, but the steak's temperature was wrong. Towards the end of my visit, a large party was waiting to be seated in section occupied by a group that they obviously knew. The manager allows the group in the seated are before the seated group wrapped up. Both groups knew each other, so for like 10 minutes they are standing around exchanging pleasantries while disrupting the entire section. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a few weeks already. I had my best friends birthday brunch at Avenue in November and I couldn't have been happier! The food and drinks were delicious! The sangria was my favorite... so tasty! Our waitress and the owner were amazing and super sweet. Always on top of us making sure everyone had what they wanted and the drinks always full :) the whole ambiance was really nice. We had a great time! thank you guys for making this day so special read more

Moved down the street from this place so it was a must-try now that outdoor dining is allowed! We sat under an awning so the sun didn't blast us, but they've since added umbrellas. Great options for everyone on the menu, I would say very Greek inspired but it's not a Greek restaurant. The food was super delicious. We actually left stuffed and could've used some wheels to roll us home lol. I got the breakfast wrap and my boyfriend got the classic breakfast. There are more breakfast options on the weekends vs. weekday brunch. I know we're in a pandemic but once we put our order in, we didn't see our waitress for the remainder of our visit. Like not even to ask for the check. It's fine if they want to decrease the interactions between servers and guests but we were kind of left hanging. Nevertheless, we will definitely be back because they have a lot of space, it's so close to home and the food was really good. read more

It's the decor for me! They really took there time with not only the art , design and lighting of the inside. But the outdoor pandemic street seating is fuego . It looks like an outdoor oasis. It's gorgeous. Last night we were exploring Astoria and came across this gem. Good luck with parking around here lol we parked in the municipal parking on 38th street and 30th Ave it's free after 10pm and we were in this restaurant around 12:30am. It was a chill girls night for us . They were playing Latin music . Our server Konstantina was very nice and attentive. The food was so good we had a chicken quesidilla but guess what it was open face . That pizza, because that's exactly what it looked like was top5. We also had an order of shrimp tacos. It was tasty the shrimp was nice and bouncy. Our server told us they have a nice brunch on the weekends, tequila & taco Tuesdays and they are doing a ladies night on Thursdays. It's worth checking out. read more

Terrible service. Very slow. Food wasn't great. Drinks were ok. Our server today took forever for everything. Not even say thank you or how's everything? Cecilia was our server and she was not the best. Not hospitality or charisma read more

Don't be fooled by the outside crowd. They're just attractive models hired to make the place stand out. On a 90 degree day, all the seats in the shade were occupied, so we were left with no choice, but a seat under the tuscan sun. The service is ridiculously slow. It took more than 10 minutes for my iced tea...ICED TEA probably made from powder mix, to come. I mean, how hard is it to make iced tea? You take 2 spoonfuls of powder, mix a little water for a paste, and add more water, all done in 3 minutes. I don't know, is it because they had to cut a slice of lemon along? Ordered a kebab sandwich, because I was so hungry, meat seemed like the option for a fulfilling meal. Great, big mistake. Took about 30 minutes to come. It's actually a gyro, with some super oily, flabby, soft fries, and a house salad, which did not even have any dressing on it, so I don't know what's so special to name it a house salad. The gyro was not so great. The meat was not tender at all but burnt, but it's not the worst I've had though, I give them that. Did I mention we did not even get iced waters to begin with? Everyone else had iced waters on their tables, except us. When requested, it took more than 5 minutes to come. And we did get ripped off. Charged $4 for the iced tea instead of $3 (it's even on the menu). This place is not worth the money at all for the service and for the food. Will never come here again. read more

Avenue - Kebab Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Astoria, New York

My friends made me a birthday surprise last Friday (10/29/21) and it was my first time in this place. The food was very tasty, the staff very friendly, cocktails delicious! I hope I'm not the only one remarking how loud the music was! We were in a small group of five and it was extremely difficult to have a conversation. While we were eating we want to catch up with each other, but it was impossible! I'm not exaggerating! We were screaming at each other, and the next day I woke up with a sore throat! I want to come back, but I would call them before and ask how loud the music is that day. read more

Wanted to get brunch with the girls, and came across this upbeat spot. Great vibes and great food. There is a wait time so it's best to make reservations beforehand. It was outdoor seating, divided into a smoking and non smoking section. The music was nice and upbeat, the mimosas were great and they kept on coming. The appetizers and main dishes were so filling, amazing portion sizes. I enjoyed the burger and I enjoyed the waffles and chicken a lot as well. Will be going back, the waitress was very friendly and funny. Had a great experience. read more

Yay... no more going to GRAND café! I was so upset that it took three years to renovate and rebuild Avenue Café that I almost stopped going out for coffee. Avenue is legendary for their amazing sandwich "Hallumi Delight" and their "Seafood Salad" and "Mezé Platter" They are as the Greeks say: Yamato, meaning very good food. Oh, their coffees are great too. So is their wine list and too shelf alcohol selections . read more

Stopped by for the first time for brunch today and had an amazing time, thanks to the bartender Zach. Great vibes

"Good space but the drinks could be a little better" First, Avenue Cafe has a very ample space with plenty of outdoor seating. The staff was friendly (although a little aloof). The only issue that I had was with the speciality cocktails. I tried the Watermelon martini on this insistence of a friend and all three of us were severely disappointed (I think that there was too much of the watermelon liquor in the drink) and the peach cocktail was not that great either. Perhaps, the bartender that was working on that particular sunday did not know how to make the drinks properly or did not do a quick taste before sending them out. However, my gin and sodas were quite delicious and refreshing. I will more than likely return to this place, since I go to Astoria a bit and it is perfect on a nice day with the outdoor setup. But as for "wetting my whistle" I may just stick to the one/two ingredient (i.e. gin and soda or whiskey neat) beverages. read more

Absolutely terrible atmosphere. The music is so loud you can't hear anything. Definitely avoid this place, especially on the weekend.

Avenue cafe has great food! However my review for this evening is a sad one based on the wait time. Once we arrived we asked table for 2. There was ample seating outside. We were told to sit anywhere. We chose we sat. 24 minutes later no one came to us. The eldest of servers must have walked by us 7 times and 2 of those was a chat box with people she knew. Again not paying attention. At that moment we decided to leave. It was packed indoors but there was smoke space outdoors. No one came out. Just be aware if this happens to u , get up and leave. We went across street to Pink Nori. We sat, placed our order and in 15 minutes we were eating read more

Food average service average I had high actual expectations for this place as I sat down enjoyed the decor and outside atmosphere I was ready to see what they had in store so I ordered the Atlantic salmon, shrimp scampi, chicken kabobs and for dessert I had the waffle and fruit only thing that had much flavor was the waffle with chocolate syrup and fruit the food did look good but as far as taste I've had better buffets read more

I came here with a group of friends. First thing I noticed is that there's probably 1:10 women to men ratio in this place..And you already know in Astoria, it's not the business crowd (to say the least). They're not proper gentlemen either. The moment you walk in they're all gauking at you as if they're undressing you with their eyes. WHATEVER. However, men need to know how to act properly. We got a table, food was good, the tacos were great, everything came in a timely manner. Still, we were being heavily stared at by the men in the establishment. As i was coming back from the restroom, a table of 6 European mean all stopped in their conversations to stare and break their necks to look at me and my friend. The worst part is a guy sitting two tables from us started blowing kisses at my friend and drawing hearts in the air with his fingers. WTF Seriously? In the dining room, while people are trying to have a nice meal? Is this the crowd they normally bring in?? Sadly the answer is yes, the GM Eddy (?) asked us how everything was before we left and let him know the experience. He told me I wasn't the first to say that to him and he's trying to figure out a way to fix the problem. It's probably why you don't see many women in that place. Eddy was very kind and understanding. I hate complaining but i've never felt so uncomfortable in my life. Ladies come dressed modestly if you don't want cheap creepy euro trash staring at you or better yet if you're looking for a super easy one night stand this is probably the place to be. read more

A little pricy on the face of it, but really really good food. I expected the food to be average since Avenue has been a big name for a long time, and it was much better than average. Great food, attentive staff, lively atmosphere. Perfect for brunch. read more

Just had breakfast here. Ordered an omelet wrap that was amazing. Fresh cut fries were excellent. I saw a few plates go by and the pancakes and waffles looked appetizing. Next time ;) Service was outstanding with Mariana and Babis always attentive to our needs and frequently asking if we needed refills or anything else. As for the atmosphere, great soft music played, not too loud, with muted tv screens all around that had sports events on. I highly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch, and drinks at night. Will definitely not only come again, but frequent this place as it also has a very homie ambiance. read more

A lil disappointed. Cold food - old fries - ketchups are reused ( notice the separation and matte look meaning it's been sitting for a while). Good vibes as always but very slow service on a regular night read more

Avenue - 10oz NY Prime Strip Steak - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Astoria, New York

This is my favorite restaurant in Astoria (hands down). Aside from the beautiful/modern ambiance and delicious food; Eddy the Manager has impeccable customer service skills. He treats everyone with so much love and respect and such a caring human. He wants you to have an amazing experience every time you go (no matter how many times you go) and that is exactly what it has been for me and my family. My 3 year old and 5 year old love it here too. The food (thanks to Chef Jose) and drinks are always fresh and delicious . The Brunch and Dinner are incredible. I always celebrate birthdays and milestones here and I have never had a bad experience. Thanks to Eddy, Chef Jose and the wonderful staff for keeping this Astoria gem running the way it does. read more

Upon arrival the ambiance was nice and the music was playing and it seemed like a great place to be for brunch on a Sunday. Our waitress was very nice and gave us suggestions on drinks and the menu. I ordered the steak and eggs and I requested for my steak to be well done. Well, after a few cuts in my steak it was definitely not well done more on the medium well side to me. The eggs was pretty good a fluffy. Things was going well until a party sitting behind us was done and getting ready to leave and decided to take their time leaving and standing up and having conversations up over me while I was eating. I know some ppl act like Covid and germs in general don't exist but I found this to be very annoying and disrespectful. So, they finally leave then I guess another party was coming in and as their waitress was getting their table together they allowed the guests to come in and yet again people are standing around waiting to sit. I guess this restaurant feels it's okay but based on my experience I will most likely not return. read more
