    Very pretty place in Bayside. Great for private events, have indoor and outdoor areas. Pretty place, good service, clean, modern and tasty food. Parking out back!! No need for street parking.

    Delicious food

    The food was great it just to a little longer than I expected. I haven't had food like this since I went to Greece. The service is also great.

    Lovely room!

    Just had an event here for 70 people! My guests raved about the food; the calamari and penne were a huge hit! Dennis was extremely communicative and attentive to all our needs. The room is gorgeous and can fit almost 200 people, so for our small party, was plenty spacious! The staff was helpful and we would absolutely have a future event here! Thank you soo much Laterna!!!

    Loved this spot, great ambience and food. And drinks are off the hook. Renos is the ultimate mixer in bay town, his drinks are on point! If not make sure you get Dennis to make you tequila shots! His skills are on another level!!! The real deal!!!!

    Moschifulero, margarita jalapeno !!!

    I cannot thank Dennis enough for this weekend. I have been planning our daughter's first birthday party for months as it was a very special day for us. Had to make a last minute switch of venue due to a bad experience elsewhere and I was thrilled and relieved to know the party room I wanted was available. Dennis is absolutely amazing. So nice, accommodating and really made what would have been stressful as easy as possible. I had an exact vision of how I wanted the party and Dennis helped bring that to life. The pictures speak for themselves. The restaurant is absolutely stunning, the bright natural light made the decor pop even more. Dennis and the staff were constantly attentive and the vibe of the restaurant truly makes the experience worthwhile. Family and friends raved about the service, the food and just the entire ambiance of the venue. Thank you again! Would recommend all future parties (big or small) here. Dennis is the man!

    Bad food. Poor service. We went once and will be be back ever again. No wonder this place looks empty most of the time.

    I went here for brunch with my girlfriends and we had such a great time!…read more The food was delicious - from the apps to entrees, and the service was great. Our server kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. The calamari and shrimp ceviche were both delicious - the calamari was well battered and the ceviche was fresh. My entree, chicken baraki, was a large portion (had to take it home) and it was delicious. The drinks looked amazing but we didn't try any this time - definitely on our next visit! 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!

We got the bottomless mimosas. 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.

    I've been going to OSP since it opened, and at this point I'm basically a regular. The food is…read moreconsistently solid, and the wings are a must and hands down some of the best in Bayside. The maple bacon wings are elite, and the buffalo chicken flatbread is honestly life-changing. What really makes OSP stand out, though, is the people. The staff is genuinely friendly, Billy is easily my favorite bartender of all time, and one of the owners, JR, is incredibly hospitable. He actually makes you want to keep coming back always pleasant, always welcoming. The vibe works at any time of day. If you want something low-key in the morning, this is the spot. At night, it turns into one of the hottest places on Bell Blvd. In the summer, the outdoor setup is great. Fair warning: weekend nights get packed almost standing room only.. so if you're claustrophobic, plan accordingly. That said, it's also an excellent place to watch sports, especially boxing and UFC events. Great food, great people, great energy. OSP does it right.

    On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend a huge thank you to One Station…read morePlaza for their incredibly generous and high quality donation to our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. They provided a delicious penne alla vodka and beef meatballs that were truly exceptional. The penne alla vodka was creamy and rich with a perfectly balanced tomato flavor. But the real star was the meatballs. They were incredibly generous with real meat and had very little breadcrumb filler, which gave them a robust, hearty flavor and fantastic texture that our guests truly appreciated. It was clear that quality is a top priority for them. It is because of dedicated local businesses like One Station Plaza that we are able to successfully raise vital funds for our mission of supporting women in the New York community. Their commitment to using high quality ingredients while giving back shows a true dedication to their customers and their community, and it is exactly why I will continue to support businesses like theirs. We highly recommend One Station Plaza for their outstanding food, generous portions, and tremendous heart. Thank you for your kindness and for making our event such a success.

Parking can be found on Bell Blvd or on one of the side streets. I walked in on a Friday night about 6:45pm and my friend and I were seated right away by the kitchens window. Press 195's atmosphere is laid-back and friendly. Our waitress came and took our order without writing anything down. Everything came out correctly. I ordered the #26 - Turkey & Gouda that comes with turkey, Canadian bacon (I took out the Canadian bacon), smoked gouda, fresh tomato, and roasted garlic spread. My friend ordered the #29 - Steak & Chimichurri that comes with grilled marinated sliced steak, tomato, provolone, red onions (she took out the red onions), and homemade chimichurri sauce. We both added a side of Belgian fries for $5.05 each. The sandwiches were very tasty and a good portion. The ingredients were fresh. I really liked the side of cucumber salad as well. Press 195 is your go to place for handcrafted panini press sandwiches, crispy hand-cut belgian fries, and more! Though it was a Friday night, we weren't rushed out and it was getting busy.
