    Prime Rib French Dip
    Ashley H.

    My review is solely for my half prime rib French dip sandwich that my fiancé bought back as leftovers for dinner. It was cold by the time it made it home but it was still so delicious. I already finished dinner but still manage to eat a good chunk of the sandwich. The French dip was definitely a perfect pairing, along with the perfectly caramelized onions and Gruyère cheese. I can't wait to actually go to this restaurant to try it hot :)

    Even the toddler enjoyed Margie's!!

    We ate at Margie's on 7/5, we ordered the olives, calamari - which were both exceptional. My meal was the brick chicken, my husband ordered the pork chop, both were very delicious. It's hard to find a good pork chop cooked perfectly but we did! My blackberry spritz was DELIGHTFUL. Everything about Margie's is amazing, we are from Florida and come to stay at the Rockaway 2-3 times a year, we never miss a chance to eat at Margie's. Pj the weekend evening manager is kind and caring, always going above and beyond for his patrons. Ryan the bartender always makes a great drink, and they taste the EXACT same way EVERY time. Highly recommend if you're looking for an elevated dining experience, that still feels like home.

    We decided to stop for a quick bite after checking out of the hotel, the ambience was nice and quiet a Monday during lunch time. The drinks were good and so was our meal. The restaurant has different areas as well as different seating types. Service was on point, very attentive. We had a great meal.

    Nice and clean decor. Wasn't a big fan of the branzino, it was paired with beans and chorizo . Also got the French onion soup which was amazing and the pasta was okay. Convenient place to eat when you're staying at the rockaway hotel. Staff was friendly.

    This place is phenomenal! If you're within a few miles (JFK airport) and you have time, do visit this place. I sat at the bar so I only dealt with the bar staff. These folks were exceptional, very informative and put me in the right direction. I had the pork chop and have to say it was probably the best pork chop I've ever had. The restaurant is part of the Rockaway hotel so has the sophisticated beach to it. But regardless, the food is top notch and quite reasonable! Wish I could've posted more food photos, but everybody ate their schtuff before I could take a picture of it Enjoy!

    This place is super busy but has a nice vibe. I enjoyed my dinner even though the food took awhile to come out.

    Margie's is such a cute spot. I love the dressed up diner style vibes. It's connected to the Rockaway Hotel and there's lots of free street parking. I walked in for a late lunch and it was surprisingly empty. There's a full bar and a nice selection of soups, salad, sandwiches, and big plates, and appetizers on the menu. I went for a soup and grilled cheese since it was a little gloomy outside. My friends got the burger, poke bowl, and veggie burger. All were plated nicely and aimed to fill you up. The portions are big but I didn't have any leftovers. I'm here to discuss the soup. This is a chunky one with a big tomato flavor. It came out piping hot and I greatly appreciated it. The soup was made to dunk into and the crusty bread was the perfect invitation. I got into it! Each dunk and crunch was rotated with conversation. The caramelized onion in the sandwich was a nice touch. Go ahead and order this, I dare you. It came with a lovely side salad. It was bursting with colors and texture. Margie's, please don't change. I love the fresh ingredients and attention to flavor.

    Rockaway beach hotel was really disappointing. Margies was the best part of our trip, food was good! I recommend the tuna tartare

    Second time here and I'm always pleased with the wait staff and the hostess. It was packed. The rooftop stopped serving lite bites so I made my way down for a spread at Margie's. I didn't think I was hungry until I looked at the full menu again. The waitlist was full but it was only two of us so we scored when a reservation didn't make their time. Chris was our server and I feel like I left with a new friend. Great hire guys! He's a keeper. The drinks are my fav. There's a spicy margarita type of drink and a Smokey mezcal drink that will keep you coming back. Ordered the watermelon arugula salad, the burrata and the lobster pasta. All very delicious. The decor and ambiance is perfect. Everyone was having a good time. And there's always the rooftop for more of a party scene.

    This hotel is a neighborhood gem. I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. It's gorgeous inside and you cannot deny the smell coming from the restaurant. Everything they serve looks amazing and each dish had a wonderful taste. I cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. Server Chris was really friendly and was very intuitive in helping me make choices. I've been for drinks before and Bar tenders are always great. There was a wait time, but the hostess was very kind and got us seated in about 20 mins.

    Bread
    Latesha J.

    I visited the Rockaway Hotel and stopped by their restaurant. As someone who grew up in the rockaways, it was nice to see a quaint sophisticated establishment along the rockaways. Starting with the bread it was the best table bread I have ever had at a restaurant. If they would've only served me bread, I would've been satisfied. It also came with this butter that melts in your mouth like you wouldn't believe. For my entrée I had the salmon dish and I did not enjoy it unfortunately. The salmon was Bland and it was on a bed of random vegetables that just did not seem to fit very well together and the vegetables were bland. We also ordered calamari for the table and they were OK. I ordered the truffle fries and they were pretty good as well. In all, I would definitely return and explore the rest of the menu.

    pov us getting our to go order before our food to eat

    If i had made this review two weeks ago i would've done 5 star absolute love. The food is incredible always. best brunch spot in town. it's always cozy in there and i always feel fancy and well taken care of. I went here a few weeks ago for my birthday and it was lovely, staff was super kind and sweet and thoughtful. TODAY i go with my boyfriend and we order drinks and our food. AN HOUR goes by and we get a new waitress, asking us if everything was okay. I am a nice guy so i say yes, and we'd also like to place a to go order along with our food for here. then we think our food comes and after immense disappointment watching it go to another table i get fed up and ask our new waitress to check on our food only to find it was never put in. THEN on top of it all nothing was comped felt super disrespectful and uncaring from the staff this morning. Super disappointed in what i thought was a premier restaurant in the area.

As for the food, it was one of the best I had. It was a 8-course meal, and except from the scallops and the lobster bisque that I found a bit too salty for my taste, I'm still giving the chef and staff my full 5 stars. Planning on going back in the summer to enjoy that NYC skyline.

    While the ambience was great, we had a lot of problems with the service, food quality, and price…read more Made a booking for dinner, we were seated quickly but nobody else came by to take our order for over 15 mins. When we finally flagged down a server, she first tried to tell us that we could not sit there because they had a reservation coming - we were like 'yeah, that reservation is ours!' After some back and forth, she reluctantly took our order but then came back to say the kitchen was closing! We were starving at this point and rushed in a couple of order for nachos, tacos, and pizza. The pizza was decent, but the tacos and nachos were a massive disappointment. There were just 2 small tacos and some chips on the plate - for $20! And the nachos were 80% chips, hardly any guac, sour cream, and a very small portion of beans. Not worth it to get food here, eat elsewhere then come up for drinks and the view.

Fast forward, a few months later my fiancé bought back their taco flight which had brisket, fish, chicken, veggie, shrimp, and pork and none of them disappointed. This is such a good option for you to try out all of them! The veggie one was even surprisingly good with some potatoes in it. They're small tacos. I would be able to finish all 6 myself easily though I don't recommend it because even though the proteins all have a different taste, the toppings are so similar that it gets overwhelming when you eat 6 at once.
