    Braised Beef Shot Rib

    Went in for a birthday dinner with family and left so satisfied. The ambience, aesthetic and service were perfect! The Braised Beef Shot Rib and Grilled octopus sealed the deal. Definitely coming back again

    Sangria, sooooo delish!

    It's time to update the review as I feel like Tavern 157 just keeps getting better. The drinks are fire. The menu is on point. I really like sitting at the bar and getting a drink, but also give me their charcuterie board any day of the week. What makes this spot is the decor. It's quite interesting. It's almost giving medieval. The drinks are creative and delicious. The blood orange mojito and the yuzu drink (not sure what it's actually called) are my favs. I love taking friends here that I haven't seen in a minute. It's a great place to catch up or even take a date too. Come to think of it, I don't think I've had a full meal here. We only come for the drinks and the apps because the apps themself are delicious. Standby for a review about one of their entrees.

    It's been a while since the last time i dined at tavern 157! So glad to be back here again. Everything we ordered not only they looked good , they tasted good as well. The service was on point and the ambiance in the restaurant is Amazing! The oysters stole the show as we had almost 2.5 dozens of them . They were so fresh and sweet !

    Came to Tavern 157 on a weekday for dinner and did not have a reservation but did not have any issues getting seated. The restaurant is located in an area of flushing with a good amount of street parking. The vibe of the place was so nice with large open windows to the street and we were able to get a seat by the window; felt like we were sitting outside but without being burnt by the sun. Our waiters were very nice and efficient. The menu was tapas-focused, but also had several nice entrees. We mostly got tapas and also got lobster risotto to share and everything was delicious! We also go the creme brûlée and lava cake for dessert and both were very good as well. This was a fresh place to go in flushing amongst all the Asian food; so if you are in the area but looking for something unique outside of Asian good, this is the perfect spot!

    Ordered sooo much for such a good deal! For apps we got the seafood bisque, fish tacos, crab & spinach dip, and truffle fries. The crab & spinach dip was my favorite and my family really enjoyed the truffle fries! The seafood bisque was average but it was good and the fish tacos were pretty worth it because they give a decent amount of fish! As for entrees we got the tavern157 burger which was pretty good and the squid ink pasta and braids short rib & bone marrow which were my favorite! You have to get the squid ink pasta! Loved their playing as well. Highly recommended!

    Octopus and a passion fruit margarita
    Franco R.

    Drinks were great and food was great , octopus cooked perfectly and the cauliflower was so addicting , would comeback again . Bartender was also very nice.

    Came here for dinner with friend from Singapore. The ambiance was enjoyable like an old library with book stands, stairs, stools, and tables. The lighting was dim enough to project the library feeling too. Seamless integration I checked in with Yelp and i claimed free fries offer. Pretty generous on the fries I ordered a burger cooked medium rare. It was alright. I had better burger elsewhere tho... It was a cold night so I ordered hot water to warm my hands. I saw dust particles at the bottom of my cup of water, it seemed the cup wasnt properly cleaned. I ordered another cup of water, and it also came with particles in the bottom as well. Twice was enough. They need to clean up their dishes properly, cant believe it happened twice! : (

    That is the burger I received supposed to be Angus beefburger with smoked bacon, pickle and truffle fries, no truffle fries,

    What happened to the restaurant?it's used to be good, I ordered burger with bacon and truffle fries, that's what I received, disgusting

    Octopus
    Chong Yip M.

    Good food and ambiance. A bit pricey but good unique food. Service was good. The octopus was our favorite. Definitely recommend it. Popcorn chicken was also good.

    Ashley H.

    Absolutely loved this spot. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the start. The food was fantastic far beyond typical bar fare and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. You can tell they put real care into both the service and the menu. Highly recommend if you're after great vibes, delicious food, and genuinely kind people. We'll definitely be back.

    On point

    Beautiful place and Best attention thank you Nicky for the service we enjoyed the food and drinks was on point definitely recommend this places to come over with friends or girlfriend or boyfriend

    Actual order
    Naixin C.

    We placed an order to order four items on DoorDash for delivery. I knew something was odd when the bag of food seemed so empty. Upon checking the receipt, I realized food was missing. I called tavern directly and spoke to a lady. She tried to resolve by asking me to contact DoorDash and have it re-delivered or I can go pick up. I contacted DoorDash and opted for a refund because dealing with the hassle, wasting another 30 mins and tipping again simply didn't make sense. Not only did I waste my time, I lost out on the tip money for the DoorDash delivery person. It wasn't his fault at all. I contacted Tavern again to inform them that I got a refund and mentioned to them how horrible this experience was. The lady insist that they can remake the order and I can go pick up. Seriously? You want me to waste my time to go pick up and then head back home to eat what would become cold food?As continue to speak my mind, she offered a credit to dine in. It's a nice gesture, but meaningless after wasting 20 mins BTW, when I called the second time... James on the receipt picked up and he was clueless. He didn't apologize or acknowledged that he messed up. Instead, he handed over the phone to the lady that I spoke to.

    Braised Short Rib and Bone Marrow - good
    Jess L.

    Really lovely space and ambiance. They were very careful about the details. I wish the menu had had more descriptions. Yelp was incredibly clutch in figuring out what to get. The peach bubble was very pretty and fruity. A little more volume would have been great. Lobster "medallions" were no medallions, but it was tasty and easy to eat. The short rib with bone marrow was decadent. I wish there had been a green or something crunchy. That being said, we really enjoyed the side of Brussels, side of risotto balls, and lava cake dessert. This part of the meal was actually the star. Our waitresses were attentive and comped us a glass of wine when our dessert was late - a memorable gesture. I'd recommend!

    Is this restaurant good for a child?

    I don't see why not. They have sitting benches by the front. I'd say go! It's an intimate vibe-type setting.

    I'm wonder if they have any bottomless options? Or unlimited drinks on the weekends?

    No they do not.

    Do they serve regular menu items during brunch?

    I don't think so.

    Do they still have the happy hours?

    Yes

    Is there outdoor dining option available?

    Not anymore.

    How is the parking at night?

    Parking isn't too bad. You're gonna be in the residential area but across the street usually has open parking. I usually don't find any parking spots on Tavern 157's side.

    No they sell wine and beer only

    How's Sunday brunch here?

    AMAZING. I love their brunch menu items and their mimosas!

    They usually have a theme night for special ocassions, been there for Halloween, Ugly Sweater night, going there for Super Bowl Sunday. Give them a call!

I was with four guys and I happened to be the only girl with them because I was part of their "guys night out." The trooper I am, I went there with them with intentions to only drink and see what the hell they were talking about. They give you green tea with your bottle of hen which is delicious and reminds me of Hong Kong! I was SUPER uncomfortable, but once I started drinking it was a-ok! So there's different rooms and there's these paid girls dress in scandalous clothes walking from room to room drinking with whomever pay to go in the rooms. There are a bunch of older men groping these ladies but who's to say anything? The girls look happy! Overall it was pretty entertaining to see how the night progressed! Some girls left with the guys, other guys left with each other and there's bartenders eating meat on skewers! So with that said, I only recommend guys who have other intentions and meet really FRIENDLY women to come here...

My friends and I had Churrasco skewers, truffle waffle fries, chicken quesadillas, Churrasco quesadillas, loaded waffle fries with shrimp and sweet chili wings. Everything was good!

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.

Passion fruit was my fave, mango was a tad bit sweet but when I asked the server to add a shot to fix it, she did. Food: we had the lemon pepper and buffalo wings and fries. The wings were good but the lemon pepper flavor was light and just sprinkled on. The crab legs were really good! It's cooked in a curry sauce, I just wished they actually served it in the sauce. I had to ask for melted butter. We weren't really hungry but from the few things I had, it seems their food is good. I would go back to try some more menu items.
