The bar was nice, different vibe than the city, so we were able to sit and just relax. It's a small place..but they do serve food and had different cocktails and lots of liquors.. We tried the popcorn chicken thighs which was just okay for me but I don't like popcorn chicken normally so I had only had a 1-2 pieces, we wanted to try a lil something while we had drinks... The drinks ...hmm they tasted a bit too sweet for me.. They do sound creative, but too many sugary items... they even sold a cookie matched with a drink.. as if the drinks weren't sweet enough. We tried at least 6 of them and L doesn't really drink but took a sip from each of them. They're not really strong...I'm tiny and I wasn't close to drunk. I think I'd be full from all that liquid before I felt something. It's a nice bar but we left since the drinks weren't strong and had too many sweet ingredients in a lot of them so it didn't appeal to me. Service was very efficient but it was just the one female waitress. The ratings are too high...it's more like 3.9.. than 4.9.

Great Vibes & Even Better Drinks!…read more I stopped by The Connect Bar in Jamaica, Queens, and I'm so glad I did! It's a Black-owned, women-owned spot that brings such great energy to the neighborhood. The service was excellent, and the bartender -- though I didn't catch her name -- was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. I ordered a Mango Margarita, which was perfectly balanced and refreshing, and my niece had one of their non-alcoholic drinks, which she loved -- it's great to see they have something for everyone. The atmosphere was chill yet lively, and you can tell it's a place built with love for the community. I'll definitely be back soon -- so happy to have a place like this right here in Queens!

I was curious if this place was a restaurant, a bar, or a lounge. I would say this place is definitely a lounge. The vibe was great, very chill and unpretentious. The drinks were on point and the food was delicious! Their menu is more finger foods and decent bites if you plan to drink. I would like to see 1 or 2 more food menu items added but everything we had was very very good. We had the sampler and it was perfect for us. The DJ was everything! The music was so good. Old school early 2000's hip hop and r&b. But I hear on any given night, the music goes to the vibe of the crowd. The service was fantastic. We had everything we needed and the wait staff was attentive. I will absolutely be coming back here! They have great happy hour during the weekdays and a brunch I want to check out. 10/10 so far.

We were seated immediately, it wasn't crowded but we came in between brunch and dinner so we had to wait until after 5 to order for dinner. Our waiter was Garnett, a very nice and attentive young man. Our order is in the pictures below. The food was really good, I will be returning to try other items on the menu. My one complaint is I have to pay $.75 for some gravy that was really greasy but I got over that after tasting the food . We were given some complimentary bun and cheese to take home after our meal.

The spot is somewhat busy but not super noisy, which I liked. Parking is street parking and it does get busy in this area. Overall, a great spot with cool drinks and good food!

They gave us two glasses and a picture of mimosas. Everything was really good. As an appetizer we ordered the focaccia grilled cheese bites. The vodka sauce dip was so amazing. Honestly, that was hands-down, the best thing. For our main, I ordered the Mediterranean Benedict. They made the Benedict. Perfect, I love the prosciutto with it. It does come on top of a focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sweet potato fry squares. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes and I didn't read the menu to see to get something else. Also, the Greek churro was so good with the feta whip. This is definitely a really cute place. Everyone who works there is so kind and polite. It is definitely worth a stop in for brunch.

This was my second time dining here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again…read more After enjoying a delicious meal paired with a fantastic all-jazz performance, I'm already looking forward to coming back. I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

Well, at least business was "Blooming" due to Mother's Day reservations…read more All jokes aside, I visited this restaurant yesterday for a Mother's Day brunch with a group of eight others. Our reservation had been confirmed the day before by both our host and the restaurant. When I arrived early, I was surprised to find the place jam-packed and clearly overcrowded. The front-of-house staff, along with the presumed owner, seemed overwhelmed and initially could not locate our 12:00 reservation. There were also guests with 11:30 and later reservations that were still waiting to be seated, along with several other groups scheduled around our time. After waiting nearly 50 minutes, talking with others who were also waiting, and watching two other tables be hastily set up and filled, we were finally seated. The table had been quickly wiped down and set with placemats, but it was missing silverware and several glasses. Most of this was resolved fairly quickly, though two people still never received glasses, with one person asking a few times for one. Our clearly overworked waitress brought us water and eventually took our order after a shorter additional wait. I ordered a $6 cappuccino, which was enjoyable, with a moderate amount of foam and a pleasantly bitter flavor without tasting over-roasted. However, another person's $4.50 iced coffee did not seem worth the price, as it appeared to be no more than a 12-ounce glass and was mostly filled with ice. Outside of coffee, the staff was understandably slow with water, with long waits, and we finally got a pitcher near the end of the meal. For my meal, I chose the $16 Poached Browns, which included two poached eggs, pulled pork, an English muffin, hollandaise sauce, and their Bloom hash. Many minutes later, and I mean many, the eggs were properly poached and were the highlight of the dish. The pulled pork, served without any additional sauce, was dry, and the small amount of hollandaise did little to help. The hash on the side lacked crispiness and vegetables, aside from what might have been a tiny piece of chopped yellow pepper. Overall, it was below average but passable. Two others ordered the Make Your Own Omelette for $19, which comes with a choice of three ingredients, the same hash, and bacon. They made two specific requests, both of which our waitress confirmed: first, that they did not want bacon, and second, that they could substitute fries for the hash--regular fries for one person and sweet potato fries for the other. Despite this, both plates arrived with bacon, as you can see in my first photo, where one of them transferred her bacon to my plate. The other person sent her plate back and ended up receiving her Mother's Day meal well after everyone else. The omelette also looked a bit more like a frittata, which I didn't mind. After waiting a while, including finally getting pitchers of water, we finally left after a long and annoying bunch. If this spot indeed had reservation issues, why on earth were they still allowing walk-ins? Why did they tell people it would take 15-20 minutes to seat when it would clearly take 30+? This entire experience was inept from beginning to end. The food this time is closer to a 2, but our experience as a whole was closer to a 1. I would never go back.

It was pretty good, cooked medium like I asked and nice char flavor on it. Held together pretty well too and didn't fall apart while I ate it. Fries were nice and crunchy and actually pretty good too. Took off a few stars because although the food was decent, it is pretty expensive. Burger was $26, when it should actually be around a $20 burger. My buddies steak frites were $38, which again is pretty expensive, imo.
