    Vouvray is my favorite wine!!!
    Elisa G.

    What's the deal with airport food? Can't it be decent? This one in particular could be a gem of a restaurant if they cared about the customers instead of making money! I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. The waitress and she recognized me from the other restaurants in the JetBlue terminal which means they are owned by JFK or JetBlue so that explains the lack of quality at all of these airport pseudo eateries. I was working up an appetite getting my steps in so I ordered mussels. They were bland and flavorless even after I added salt and lemon. Waitress asked if I wanted to send them back but there wasn't anything else that was standing out. I ate them anyway and got the bill which was supposed to be 20% off if you use your JetBlue credit card. Well, it wasn't and the total was $25 including tax. She disappeared for a solid 10 minutes and I waited for her to come back. I was the only person there. I waited longer then when she finally appeared, I asked her to take off the 20%' which took an extra 15 minutes. She had to get the manager to adjust it. I guess it's a good thing that my flight was delayed or I might have missed it! Ridiculous wait time for less than mediocre mussels! Not going back anytime soon

    French Fries & mimosa.

    Honestly, it is a restaurant in an airport. Stick with french fries & alcohol & you will be fine. (The french fries are only OK) They have 7 drinks on the menu and of course not all of the ingredients to make the one I want! I have had much worse experiences eating at T5. Grateful for a not terrible experience.

    It seems all the restaurant in the front of terminal 5 are owned by the same company. This is their French café. The food is just fair and like a typical airport restaurant, overpriced.

    Very good was a little hesitant but glad I made the choice. Better then the food court!

    Very good French food and drinks and good value as well. Crouque was delicious as was the trio. Located in Gate 5 at JFK.

    This little cute restaurant is AMAZING. My husband and I were running errands about 10-15 mins away…read morefrom here and my husband was craving a burger so I decided to search a close one near by and this little gem popped up! We started off with the sautéed calamari . That sauce??? LORDT!!! Not a crumb left behind and calamari's were cooked to perfection. For Entrees we couldn't decide so decided to split our entrees, my husband got the Wagyu burger while I got the Filet mignon. We asked for both to be cooked Medium Rare which the chef did not disappoint! Again not a crumb left!. Both sides Truffle fries and mashed were also Great. overall I would def recommend this place! Will def come back!. Oh and the staff?. So so friendly!! Thank you for your hospitality!

    Perfect little Bistro tucked away in Sunnyside, with excellent food and reasonable prices…read more I came here for their Too Good To Go deal before, and with the "Reataurant week of the sides" going on now (i.e. $35 for a 3-course meal), I had to come back and dine in with some friends. We ordered the steamed mussles for our appetizer (and got the Escargots off-menu), then tried the salmon and ravioli for our mains, and finally the lava cake with ice cream for dessert. Everything was excellent, and reasonably priced. Some of the best salmon (perfectly cooked) that I've had in a while, and the mushroom ravioli were also really tasty. Being a bistro, there's about 15-20 seats in the entire spot, and we mostly had the place to ourselves on a chill Thursday night. Service was great, they took good care of us. Definitely recommend for anyone that wants a taste of good French cuisine out here in the Sunnyside / Woodside area.

    Excellent local brunch spot! This is such a cute spot for a weekend brunch date…read more Both the Croque Monsieur and the Hamburger Tournesol with Swiss Cheese were really great brunch picks! Croque Monsieur was well made - it had the perfect layer of gruyere cheese on bread and ham. Even the side salad is perfectly dressed and delicious! I would totally get this again! The Hamburger Tournesol was also delicious - the burger patty was juicy and really good flavors from the melted swiss cheese. The side of fries was nice and crispy. This is a true LIC neighborhood gem!

    Tournesol, literally means Sunflower, it's a very simple flower that can brighten any space. And…read morelike the sunflower, tournesol is a cozy and unassuming space that has the ability to brighten any evening. The little French Bistro is cozy which is a nice way of saying small. Typical in NY is the sardine effect in dining. I admire people who can sit right on top of someone and completely drown out the person next to them. I, on the other hand, hate this. So, when I dine out, I always go when dinner service has just begun; around 6pm. French food is an indulgence and Tournesol is the end all and be all of French Bistros. A restaurant I love and respect. A neighborhood gem. A Long Island City Establishment. So, if you are in the city of New York and looking to hit up the outskirts for something not in your tour book, Hop on the 7 train for 2 stops to Vernon Blvd.

    High snaps for Chat Noir coming in when everyone else seemed to have about an average wait of 30…read moreminutes or more. I was also able to secure us a last minute reservation at 1:45p which we may have waited a minute or two more? We chatted with the hostess as she complimented both of our purses and she was very friendly. So off Steph and I went with hungry stomachs as we had arrangements to hit YAAAS after lunch. We already agreed on splitting the following: - Cream Tea: which is a basket of scones (which we both took home two each and the accoutrements that go with said scones) and a pot of tea. - Burrata & Fried Eggplant Salad: the salad in our opinion could've used more dressing and the Burrata needed either more dressing or salt. As the waitress seemed to be rather busy we opted for the more salt option. Fried eggplant was definitely fried and nice and crispy. - Turkey & Goat Cheese Sandwich: an interesting sandwich to say the least. Some bites I felt like I tasted straight up cranberry compote other bites straight goat cheese. The side salad with the generous sprinkling of goat cheese and dressing was delicious. I think if we came back again I'd definitely be interested in high tea and their little cheese board we saw. The ambiance of Chat Noir is rather girly but I'm more than good with that. Definitely cute. We also spotted a few ladies with cute hats on which even though it wasn't my personal experience made it very cute. Will I be back? You betcha when I'm in the area with my girly.

    Came here for a rare lunch date with my husband. It was cute, food was delicious and service was…read moregreat. I'd love to come back eventually.
