You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

We had a lovely dining experience at Tavern 157. The atmosphere was romantic and cosy like your own private library, you feel like you should be sipping some scotch by the fire. The place was ideal for a memorable date night or a cozy celebration. We enjoyed a glass of smooth Cabernet and savored the foie gras uni appetizer. The cabernet smelled like flower petals and was rich on every tiny sip. The presentation was exquisite, with a tiny piece of succulent seared foie gras crowned by a sliver of uni. The taste was sublime, with the buttery foie gras complemented by the subtle saltiness of the uni. We ordered a tray of a dozen and shared it among a large party, the oysters Huge! And super were fresh and juicy. They were a delightful start to the meal. For my main course, I indulged in a perfectly seared tomahawk steak. The impressive steak came on a generous platter with a handful of arugula and a burst of cherry tomatoes. The steak was cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and a tender interior. We had Squid ink pasta with chunks of lobster was a stunning dish in a clear donut bowl. The pasta was rich and flavorful, with the lobster adding a touch of sweetness. We had Short rib with bone marrow was the highlight of the evening. The bone marrow was decadent and smooth, resting on a bed of velvety mashed potatoes. The short rib was fork-tender and juicy. I look forward to coming back and try the oysters, foie gras and uni, short rib and bone marrow once again. read more

Seafood Pasta This seafood pasta was honestly the highlight and something I'd reorder. Mussels + shrimp were generous, and the creamy white wine garlic sauce coated the pasta perfectly. Super flavorful without being too salty -- very comforting and satisfying. Wagyu Beef Burger The brioche bun topped with crispy onion rings already makes it look impressive. The beef patty was juicy and thick without being dry, and the truffle fries on the side were addicting. Definitely one of those dishes you casually finish while chatting. Chilean Sea Bass This one was disappointing. The fish itself didn't have much flavor, and the presentation felt messy compared to the other dishes. Probably not something I'd recommend ordering. Chocolate Lava Cake Served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream -- classic warm-and-cold combo. Taste-wise it was pretty standard American-style dessert, but the caramel drizzle and presentation made it very photogenic. Overall, Tavern 157 is more about the atmosphere and experience than mind-blowing food. Good spot for birthdays, date nights, or celebrations in Queens, especially if you want somewhere with a little more ambiance and presentation. Menu selection is a bit limited though, so I'm not sure it's the kind of place I'd keep going back to regularly. read more

Charming Ambiance, Delicious Sides, Room for Improvement This restaurant boasts a truly lovely space with a thoughtful and detailed ambiance. It's clear they put a lot of care into creating a delightful atmosphere. However, the menu descriptions could benefit from being more detailed, as we relied heavily on Yelp reviews to navigate our choices. The peach bubble drink was visually stunning and packed with fruity flavor, although a larger portion size would have been appreciated. While the "lobster medallions" turned out to be more like chunks, they were still tasty and easy to eat. The short rib with bone marrow was a decadent treat, but could have benefitted from a touch of green or something crunchy for textural contrast. However, the Brussels sprouts, risotto balls, and lava cake stole the show! These sides were truly exceptional and the highlight of the meal. Our waitresses were attentive and incredibly gracious, even comping us a glass of wine for a dessert delay. This memorable gesture truly elevated our experience. Overall, while there are a few areas for improvement, we still enjoyed our meal and would recommend this restaurant with the caveat that the menu descriptions could be more informative. read more

I went on a Saturday night with three other ladies who were all excited to try this place out. The waitresses were super nice and the ambiance is trendy/ classy. The drinks were pretty but the cocktails tasted quite sweet. The peach bubble is very Instagramable. We ended up getting bottles of white wine after a round of cocktails. The food portions are small for the price you pay. Food had good flavor with some dishes having a slight spicy kick that you aren't warned about. We had someone at the table that is very sensitive to spice and they were disappointed they couldn't enjoy the dishes (mussels and squid ink pasta) The Squid Ink pasta was tasty but was expecting squid ink in the sauce, but maybe the pasta itself had squid ink. The Tomahawk was a little tough and so was the octopus. Again, all the dishes were tasty! Just a little shocked at the prices for each item. The smoked Chilean Sea Bass presentation was cool We had a good time but I don't think I'd come back with all the other options in the area. read more

We visited Tavern 157 on a Friday night and were surprised to know there is a spot with romantic ambiance in the neighborhood. The decor is modern, classic and cozy with wide-spaced seating. It's a perfect bar not only for friends' gathering but also a date night. We got a glass of Peach Bubbles which looked adorable and tasted refreshing. For dinner, we got an Egg on egg on egg and Rockefeller Oyster as appetizers; Duck Breast with Foie Gras, Braised Short Rib & Bone Marrow and Seafood Spaghetti as entrees to share with a group of three.

I was shocked by how much I enjoyed lunch here. The menu is creative and has something for everyone. Really enjoyed the hummus and goat cheese appetizer, and the scallop sliders were unique, albeit a bit light on scallops versus the amount of bun. I got a large salad for my entrée with a piece of hake on top, which was perfectly cooked. Finished up with a large chocolate pie, which came close to putting me into a sugar coma. Service was super-friendly, but it did take quite a while for the various courses to come out. And my coffee cup was empty more than it was full. Stopped by the bar for a drink afterward and the bartender wasn't the friendliest guy in the world, so probably wouldn't go back there. read more

Manager Beatrice is truly a gem -- very attentive, super sweet, and made my family feel so welcome. The atmosphere was warm, family-oriented, and comfortable. The prix fixe menu was excellent from beginning to end. For appetizers, my mom had the burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and my sister and I had Nonna's meatballs, which were delicious. My sister had the rigatoni, my mom had the salmon, and I had the short rib of beef, which melted in my mouth like butter -- that's how tender the meat was. For dessert, I had the cannoli's while my mom and sister enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The bathrooms were also nice and clean, which is always a plus. My family and I will definitely be coming back again -- even if it's just to stop in for a lychee martini and the grilled octopus, one of my favorite meals. Highly recommend for a family dinner, date night, or casual night out

It was a very quiet late lunch on a Wednesday, with only one other table occupied. The restaurant…read moreis nicely decorated, featuring an open kitchen and a wood-fired oven, which gives the space a warm and inviting feel. Our server was very pleasant and happened to be the only one working at the time, though with so few guests, it seemed to be all that was needed. We ordered the three-course lunch special. One set included the meatballs to start, followed by the chicken Parmesan and bomboloni for dessert. The other included a Caesar salad, tagliatelle Bolognese, and tiramisu. There was a bit of a longer-than-expected gap between the appetizer and the entrée, especially considering we were essentially the only table being served, as the other guests had already finished their meal. That was a little frustrating. Aside from that, most of the food was solid. The only real disappointment was the chicken Parmesan, which was quite overcooked. It was unfortunate given that the kitchen was only cooking for the two of us. That said, the mashed potatoes, an unusual pairing with chicken Parmesan were excellent: perfectly creamy and incredibly smooth. The tiramisu was also quite good, but the real standout was the bomboloni. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed them, since fried doughnuts wouldn't normally be my first choice for dessert. I would definitely return.

The restaurant has…read morea stylish, spacious interior with warm lighting, bamboo details, and beautiful illuminated fish installations hanging from the ceiling--perfect for a celebration or family gathering. The complimentary bread was served with a very creative trio of spreads: butter, a sweet plum sauce, and a sweet vinegar reduction. It was an unexpected and delicious start to the meal. The sushi rolls were the highlight. The fish tasted great, the avocado was generous, and the ingredients were well balanced. We also really enjoyed the Mito Ribs, Tuna Tartare, Black Sea Bass, Teriyaki Chicken, Mito Fried Rice, and Cobb Salad. The ribs were rich and flavorful, while the tuna tartare was refreshing and beautifully presented. The sea bass had nicely crisped skin with thick, tender meat. Overall, Mito offered a lovely atmosphere, attractive presentation, and a wide variety of enjoyable dishes. It was a great choice for our birthday celebration, and I would gladly return for the sushi and several of their signature dishes.

This place is massive and beautiful, with high ceilings and tons of space. Getting there, however,…read morewas a whole different story. Bay Terrace was under construction, traffic was a mess, and after circling around twice for about 20 minutes, we finally had to call the restaurant to figure out where the entrance and parking area were. Our host/server was polite, friendly, and professional. I didn't necessarily feel much warmth from him, but he did his job well, so no complaints there. We came for Restaurant Week, and they had a pretty extensive menu for $25 per person, which is a great deal. Unfortunately, while most of the food was well cooked, I felt like many of the issues came down to questionable decisions made by the kitchen rather than the ingredients or execution itself. The most obvious example was the chocolate lava cake. It was clearly overcooked, so instead of making a new one, they flipped it upside down and served it that way. I'm guessing they thought no one would notice, but it was pretty obvious. Why not just remake it? The ribs were another questionable decision. The menu listed a "half rack," but when it came out, there were only two ribs. We asked our server about it, and he checked with the kitchen, who explained that their full rack is normally four pieces. If I ordered a full rack from the regular dinner menu and four ribs showed up, I'd be pretty upset. My sister decided not to keep the "half rack" and opted for the grilled octopus instead after seeing it come out looking so good. Unfortunately, since it was added later, it seemed like the kitchen rushed it out, and the octopus didn't have much of a char. The grilled black sea bass was actually one of the better dishes. It was perfectly cooked with beautifully crispy skin. The only disappointment was the sauce. The tomato tartare sauce served with the black sea bass tasted almost exactly like the romesco sauce that came with the grilled octopus. With such an extensive menu, I found it odd that the two sauces tasted so similar. It made the dishes feel a little repetitive. My sister's Scottish salmon was also pretty good. The cauliflower sauce arrived cold, and when we asked about it, our server told us it was supposed to be served at room temperature. It clearly wasn't, but the sauce was delicious, so we let it go. The bigger issue was that the kitchen poured it directly over the crispy salmon skin, turning what should have been a nice crispy skin into something soggy. Again, a questionable decision that took away from an otherwise good dish. I ordered the wild mushroom tagliatelle, and honestly, I don't know what came over me ordering pasta at a Japanese restaurant. The menu says the pasta is homemade, so I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised, but to me, it didn't taste like fresh homemade pasta. That said, I should have asked about it before ordering, so that part is on me. The bigger issue was that the dish itself was just OK. Nothing particularly memorable, and the portion was surprisingly small considering it was one of the cheaper lunch options. I finished with the crème brûlée, which was perfectly fine. It's hard to go too wrong with crème brûlée, but then they added a little whipped cream and one frozen blueberry on top. I'm still confused by the blueberry. If you don't have fresh blueberries, just leave it off. Yet another unnecessary kitchen decision. Overall, the meal wasn't bad, and there were definitely some good dishes. The service was pretty good, the Restaurant Week price is a great value, and the space is beautiful. My biggest issue was that so many of the little things seemed to come down to questionable decisions made by the kitchen. Overcooking the lava cake and flipping it over instead of remaking it, putting sauce over crispy salmon skin, rushing the octopus, using sauces that tasted nearly identical on different dishes, and adding a frozen blueberry to the crème brûlée all felt unnecessary. None of these things individually would ruin a meal, but when you start adding them up, they become noticeable. I'd give them another chance because the meal wasn't bad and there is definitely potential, but I'd hope the kitchen pays a little more attention to the details next time.

Oceanic Boil

We have been crazing seafood boil lately and ordered from here twice in the last few weeks…read more One of our fave seafood boils in queens. Been either dining in or ordering take out ever since they opened the Rego Park location. Service is always friendly and amazing either dine in or take out. Take out is super easy. Order on line and you can even accumulate points for a future discount. They also deliver for free and its pricing is better than the online ordering services. We ordered 1lb each of the shrimp with head, snow crab legs and craw fish. We love the oceanic sauce but also ordered on garlic butter with old baby cause the little one loves it. You can also pick the level of spiciness. Only drawback is, seems like there's less sauce and the sauce is very watery compared to before and my kids love dipping the seafood back in the sauce and coating their rice in the sauce. We love the mango pina colada with a kick and the virgin option is always a treat for the 21 and under. They even sent an extra drink today since they made an extra by accident. Thank you!!!

I was able to pickup relatively quickly without a long wait. The restaurant is dim and a bit loud but seemed like a good place for groups and couples. As for the lobster roll, it came with a small side of corn and a generous amount of cajun fries. The roll itself was decent with a respectable amount of lobster (more than Luke's for comparison) but I wish they went with a more traditional mayo dressing than the cajun dressing. But overall I would order it again.
