Very mediocre food, at best…read more We stopped in for a late lunch yesterday. My wife ordered the chicken stuffed with cranberries, grapes, and brie. I went with crab stuffed Haddock, and we had a calamari appetizer. My wife's chicken was bland and the brie cheese was nonexistent. Also, her baked potato was brown inside. And my wife's cocktail wasn't prepared as advertised on the menu. My Haddock meal was equally lackluster. Our waitress never really engaged us or came back to ask how everything was (and the place was pretty dead, being mid-afternoon). I guess if you're coming here to drink, the subpar food won't bother you much. No return visit to the Lion's Den Tavern in our future.

We split a very large chef's salad that tasted fresh, crisp, and clearly made to order -- definitely big enough for two and what appeared to be homemade chunky blue cheese dressing I also ordered the mango habanero chicken wings, and they were outstanding. The wings were cooked perfectly crispy with a sweet-heat flavor that hits just right. Must-try if you like a little kick! Friendly service, great portions, and food that tastes fresh. We'll definitely be back

For example, the onion soup is outstanding the calamari excellent. The burgers are away Sugar Sugar great, but the specialtyspecial items such as pot pie and other pubish style food is absolutely great and worth trying. The special drink menu was definitely worth checking out. The martinis are excellent. The beers seem to come out in frosted glasses, even in the winter. There is plenty of parking nearby. The venue is spacious and wide open with plenty of TVs. It was a great place to watch the Olympics.

We first tried this place 2 yrs ago- it was good food. When I walked in I kept asking for a menu. I…read moreasked the bartender- a guy - another girl -- nothing. Then I reasked the bar tender and she was too busy - asked a girl again - never came back. Finally a customer grabbed one and handed it to me . We tried it yesterday- absolutely awful - sorry but -- the meat was super fatty - couldn't chew it - show it to my GREEK friend from Astoria Queens cause she couldn't understand- she agreed- way too fatty -- We dumped it - couldn't chew it. We also ordered spanakopita. We opened it up tonight -- Triangle shaped individual with JUST spinach -- the feta cheese was spread out UNDER these triangle spinach thing (4) super tiny like appetizers- not a meal - no salad either like really? This was a dinner? so very very upset over this food. You will say to me it's was Mothers Day - 9 tables isn't very busy for Mother's Day -- a regular dinner crowd. We expected when we drive 1 hr to this restaurant get great food at a place that almost has 5 stars. I can understand we aren't in Astoria Queens NY but come on - this wasn't hard at all. I waited a whole year to drive back & I really wanted to give a great review but the food was just awful. Very are very disappointed . . .
