The menus were left on the table the whole time, and never collected. One of my friends has dietary issues, and they completely messed up her order.

As a family with a stroller, it's not stroller friendly but they accommodated. I did observe that there were no children at this restaurant.

I opted for the newly opened Rao's outlet. Now since just being Italian does not get me a reservation at the actual restaurant (you have to be a Sopranos cast member) this was as close as Ive gotten to the famous Lemon Chicken. It was really quite good and I devoured the three drumsticks I go very fast. The meat was tender and that lemon sauce had me (discreetly) sucking on the bone. Now the price...3 ittle drumsticks and a small Brisk iced tea $18.00. Yes its a ballpark so its expected and it sure beats the crap they offered at Shea but wow. That and the fact that my friend was griping that they only had blue and orange Gatorade and not her fave red and charged her 6.00 for a bottle is the reason they got dropped a star.

Feeling very sorry for myself, I wandered over to a great looking restaurant at Laguardia featuring steak, steak, and more steak. Yum. I ordered a 12 oz New York Strip steak, medium rare, French fries, a beautiful melange of mushrooms, and a Ceasar salad. I also ordered a wonderful bottle of Pinot Noir. A bottle you say???!!!! Well, after all, I had 6 hours to kill. The Fries came long before the steak. This is a positive if you are starving. This is a negative if you are trying to balance your carbs with your protein. I also love fries with mayonnaise, not with ketchup. That is why I ordered mayonnaise and was very disappointed to find little plastic packets of mayonnaise delivered to me instead of something befitting the sixty dollar steak had just ordered. In all, my meal, without the wine, was $100 total. And yet, plastic packets. I digress. The steak arrived, and it was actually quite perfect.......perfectly cooked and juicy .....very flavorful. The mushrooms were plentiful and richly flavored. The steak came with a nice sized salad. So frankly, I never got to eat the small caesar that I ordered extra. So if I were you, I would skip any extra salad...go with the plate salad. The wine was decadent. Luscious and smooth...yum. the service was really quite good, but be prepared to order off your phone for the most part. So, if you are stuck at Laguardia, are hungry, have a $190 bucks to spare and don't mind small plastic packets of condiments....run...don't walk, to this Steakhouse.

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.

My husband chose The Queensboro to celebrate his birthday with a brunch alongside my grandparents,…read moreand it felt like a great chance to revisit a spot we'd previously enjoyed for lunch and dinner. Food: 3.5/5 We made it a point to try a range of brunch options. My grandfather ordered the sweet potato and chorizo hash, I went with the two-egg combo with pork sausage (eggs over easy), and my husband chose the Moroccan eggs. Overall, the food was good and flavorful, especially if you enjoy dishes with a bit more nuance and influence from Spanish or Mexican flavors. That said, as someone who leans more toward classic American diner-style brunch, it didn't fully hit that nostalgic spot for me. It's not that anything was bad--it just wasn't the most memorable brunch I've had. Still, it was nice to explore a different side of their menu beyond the burgers, fries, and pasta we'd tried before. Service: 4/5 The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the experience pleasant. However, they do rely on a QR code-style menu, which can be a bit of a learning curve--especially for those who prefer a more traditional ordering experience. During the brunch rush, things definitely got busy and a bit overwhelmed, so service slowed down slightly. One tip: if you already know what you want, it's best to order everything upfront to avoid delays. Vibe: 3.5/5 Like many New York spots, space is tight. Even as a party of four, we were seated at a small square table, which could be challenging if you have strollers or extra belongings. That said, the space still feels cozy and neighborhood-friendly--great for a casual brunch, just not the most spacious. All in all, It's a solid neighborhood brunch spot with interesting, flavor-forward dishes and kind service. I wouldn't call it my top brunch destination, but I'd come back if I were in the area--especially if I was craving something a little different from the usual diner fare.
