I saw a massive line here one day and decided to come check it out with my gf. Immediately I can…read moresee why. the place was small but we got seated quickly. The workers were super nice and took our orders far as well. Probably because of how busy it was the food took forever to come, however the food was worth the wait. Matcha burlee stack 10/10 There was a matcha flavor but it was not over powering the pancake wasn't too cakey it was fluffy and had a slight crisp to them. The sauce was not too sweet at all and the burlee didn't have that burnt flavor. This is my new favorite pancake spot. I'll definitely be coming more for try the other pancakes. truffle mushroom egg toast 7/10 Maybe the pancakes wowed us too much but this felt pretty normal nothing amazing just regular eggs mushroom with truffle oil on sour dough. It's a good portion size too. Green doctor 10/10 This was so good healthy but you don't taste the healthy. the consistency was not too thickly but it was not watery. Overall this place was amazing i would definitely recommend coming here for brunch. I would say the pancakes are a must get. If it was not for the long wait for food. Also they did mess up my drink once but forgivable since it was so tasty. otherwise, they would be a 5/5.

This was a great and welcome addition to the neighborhood when it opened a few years ago. It has…read morebecome a regular spot for me. They serve Latin American food along with classic diner fare (sometimes with a Latin American flair), and the food is always high-quality and delicious. I have nothing but faith in this kitchen, and they also take great care to accommodate my food allergies. The waiters - Chewy, Ivan, Jacob, and Jose - are consistently accommodating and charming. I think this is truly one of the best places to eat in the neighborhood, and I often bring friends here, and everyone I have introduced to this place has liked it. Highly recommended.

I'm a little late to the party, but for those of you like me who like to jump on a trend six or…read moreseven years after it gets going...you're going to love Golden Diner. Evidently they are famed far and wide for their pancakes, which are quite delicious. I actually prefer more texture in mine, with a bit of crisp from the butter/griddle, but you will not be sad about eating these. That said, I truly enjoyed almost everything else more. This is not a knock on them in any way, but a compliment to their kitchen that all their food is interesting and delicious. To wit: The Thai Cobb salad has the base of a classic, but with the heat and the acid of a proper som tum. The KFC wings are everything I wanted them to be. I ate way too many. The Mushroom Reuben Quesadilla (pastrami-spiced portobello!) actually evokes the flavors of a reuben, and may just have been my favorite bite of the evening. I rolled with a katsu club sandwich for my main, and it was outstanding, although I may even have liked the tuna melt more. I was too full for dessert, but I think everyone around the table enjoyed theirs. The staff is uniformly friendly, welcoming, on top of their shit, and honestly, just so cool. They made us feel at home, and got us everything we needed and more. This is a gem. Maybe I won't wait seven years to try the next trendy spot.

Went to Queen's Room for brunch and really loved it! We had our pup with us so we ate outside. The…read moreweather was pretty nice and since we were walk ins, we did have to wait a bit for an outdoor table. We started with the seasonal mule with passion fruit. It was balanced and refreshing, but pretty similar to most mules. For an app, we had the halloumi fries and they were really good, especially if you are a halloumi fan. The portion is definitely on the smaller side, so if you are sharing with a group I would order more than one. For my entree, I had the Turkish eggs and loved them. They were really well seasoned and the staff was kind enough to let me swap the bread for their biscuits. I had heard great things about the biscuits and they did not disappoint. My partner had the Chicken Not Waffles and I stole some of his cinnamon butter for my biscuit. So good! I also took a bite of his pancake and really liked that too. The staff was incredibly nice to our pup and I really appreciated that, especially since she can be a little overly friendly. They brought her a big bowl of water and just seemed genuinely happy to have her there. Overall, we really enjoyed Queen's Room. Great food, incredibly friendly service, and a nice brunch spot if you want to bring your pup along. Would definitely come again!

We decided to try Queens Room in Ditmars for breakfast after seeing so much hype about it on…read moreTikTok. Unfortunately, our experience with the food did not live up to the hype. We started with the basket of biscuits with blueberry compote, which seemed to be one of the most popular items featured in all the viral videos. I really wanted to love them, but I was honestly disappointed. The biscuits didn't taste fresh and were kind of tough, while the blueberry compote was bland and not sweet at all. Overall, there just wasn't much flavor. The coffee was just okay, and after the biscuits, we decided to leave and try another spot down the street rather than risk being disappointed with the rest of the menu. That said, the service was great. We were able to get a table right away without a reservation, and our waitress was super nice and welcoming. Our food also came out quickly. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but based on our experience, I personally wouldn't come back for the food. Unfortunately, the TikTok hype didn't match our experience.

They also have a temporary shed for the summer, for additional outdoor seating. For my meal, I had a pancake burrito, and it was better than I could have expected. The pancake was so fluffy and tasty, with a hint of crisp on the outside and a nice chewy texture overall. The savory components of the burrito worked surprisingly well with the pancake exterior, making for a medley of sweet, salty, and umami that went really well together in every bite. Our server was excellent, can't say enough about how good the brunch was. I definitely recommend this place!

I wish the drinks were a little stronger but they were good nonetheless. The server was great. The place gave an old school save by the bell vibes very cute. They have happy hour starting at 3pm during the week. The bathrooms are clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't packed at all. Will def go back to try their desserts.

My love and I found ourselves in the area and wanted to grab a light lunch before going about our afternon. We arrived around 12:30 PMand we still had a 25 minute wait. Clearly, they're doing something right! The atmosphere is bright and inviting. This is a place you can hit up for a quick lunch or linger over a nice glass of wine. Shishito Peppers to start. Ample portion size and perfectly salted. Brussels Bowl for me (quinoa, grilled chicken, crispy Brussels sprouts, pickled red onions, and lemon parmesan dressing) and Turkey Panini for him (roasted turkey, applewood smoked bacon, butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, basil tarragon aioli, and rosemary focaccia). We loved our choices. We were clean-plate club members during this lunch! We love that they have truly fresh-squeezed orange juice. You can't go back to drinking Tropicana after this! Ample parking in the strip mall. We'd return!

Attentive and helpful staff. Great first impression of the place - garden decor, chandeliers/ambient lighting. Got the Creme Anglaise souffle pancakes - with fresh fruits, very light and fluffy, not too sweet. Ice cream sounded simple on the menu - though just a small scoop, it came with red bean paste, fresh fruits so not bad @$6. Rose latte is rosy of course with crushed petals.

The soufflé pancake was unfortunately quite mushy, without much of a bite to it. The salmon was fresh but the cuts were on the thinner side, so it was decent but nothing extraordinary. The aesthetics look nice and welcoming, but the service was more cold and distanced; would definitely improve the mood if the servers were more social and friendly! Our server forgot one of our drinks, and didn't ask if we wanted our lattes sweetened or not, so we asked for simple syrup to sweeten our drinks ourselves. To our surprise, we were charged for simple syrup as shown on the receipt as a custom item...never have I been to any restaurant or cafes where you had to pay to sweeten your own drink. Unfortunately, this cheapened the experience and made it feel like you're being nickeled and dimed by a pretty restaurant. Not sure if this is the restaurant's/owner's rules or just the server being incompetent/not efficiently trained. We dined at 2pm on September 9th, 2026, as to not get other servers in trouble! Overall, Vert Frais definitely has a lot of potential of being an amazing Japanese brunch spot, so I hope this review can help them reach their truest potential! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

While it seems pricey at $7.50, the croissant is almost the size of your iPhone. The corn was nicely bruleed for a nice crunchy caramelization while the egg filling was jiggly and silky.

There is a particular kind of restaurant that understands its job is not to dazzle you into silence…read morebut to make conversation easier. The Shed, on Merrick Avenue, is that kind of place. The dining room is anchored by an olive tree that rises improbably from the center of the floor, its branches catching the light from a constellation of milk-glass globes. Along the bar, bottles glow against whitewashed brick, and the marble counter is set with striped linen napkins. The effect is part farmhouse and part supper club, and it is more inviting than either would be on its own. The menu favors familiar dishes executed with care. A glazed salmon arrives lacquered and deeply caramelized at the edges, resting on wilted spinach and a bright hash of corn, peas, and shallot, all bound by a butter sauce worth chasing with a fork. The fish sandwich is a study in restraint: a well-seasoned, pan-crisped fillet, a soft brioche bun, and a tangle of slaw, with a plump pickle and coleslaw alongside, as tradition demands. Dessert is where The Shed allows itself some indulgence. A dense, fudgy brownie, dusted with powdered sugar and set beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into chocolate sauce, recalls childhood without apology. Notably, the restaurant takes its non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The mocktail list is broad and thoughtful, a welcome gesture of hospitality toward diners who would rather skip the spirits without skipping the fun. Service, led on this evening by a warm and unhurried server, matched the room. Tables linger here, and no one seems to mind. The Shed isn't trying to reinvent anything. It simply does the familiar things well, in a room that makes you want to stay for another round of dessert and another hour of talk.
