It eventually picked up and was better for the remainder of the night. We tried multiple apps all were pretty good amongst the group except the Ackee and Salt fish roll. Everyone said their entrees were good no complaints. It turns into a party around 9 ish and the lights will turn off so be aware of that if you're going for dinner. The dj was pretty good. I liked that he played a mix of songs and genres, so a little something for everyone in the crowd. It also got really packed towards the night party around 10 pm or so.

The food came out pretty quickly I had the oxtail rice and peas and veggies. It was actually pretty good especially after I topped mines with some hot sauce. For appetizers I order the lobster tacos it came with pineapples which I don't like on my food so I didn't end up eating that but without the pineapples i believe they would have tasted really good. I ended up switching with my boyfriend and ate his shrimp 10/10 very god and cooked very good. The spice was also on point. I would come back again for the vibes it was a cool spot overall. Oh our waiter was really good as well she was very attentive and friendly.

I highly recommend the Branzino fish--it's one of the best dishes on the menu! The management is very professional, especially Norma.

The Happy Hour menu is what I came for along with the fact that it was Friday and my first full week of being back to work. I decided to come here after walking by and seeing their happy hour menu. The place is huge and beautiful inside. I included a small video in this review so you can have a better idea. They also offer outdoor dining, just a small area because the inside has plenty of space, even at the bar. I decided to get a classic mojito, buffalo chicken wings with sauce on the side, yucca fries with chimi sauce and my girlfriends ordered oysters, nachos, eggplant coquettes, also buffalo wings and beer along with a passionfruit and coconut mojitos. The drinks were good but not strong enough. I should have ordered some shots lol. The yucca fries were really good with the chimi sauce and my girlfriend enjoyed the oysters with all the toppings but thought they were really small. The eggplants and complementary dinner rolls were the stars of the night, they were delicious and I would ordered plenty on my next visit. As the night began to arrive they were setting up the stage for something like a musical act. The atmosphere began to change and the place became more intimate. A bit romantic and that was our que to leave. My overall experience was good, I had an evening and I will do another visit. I'm giving a thumb up! Happy Yelping!

Made a reservation for brunch for 6 in early Feb for 3/16. Two weeks prior to the reservation, one…read moreperson wasn't able to come and i was able to easily edit the reservation to 5. I was sent a reminder to confirm the reservation 2 days b4 and on the day of, the owner called to let me know there were some streets blocked off due to a Saint pattys parade. My friends and i were able to plan ahead thanks to that call and parked and walked over. My brunch reservation was for 2:15pm. Now once we came in, we were seated fast. One of my friends was about 20 mins late and they didn't give us an issue about it since the rest of us were there. They took our drink order and appetizers. My friend got there after we got our drinks and appetizers and she ordered hers and we all ordered entrees. The waitress was amazing! Kept coming to fill up my mimosa. We had shots, i felt celebrated the entire time. Owner came by and checked in on us too. The DJ was a vibe! Loved him and he kept shouting out all the birthdays in the room. There are 2 bathrooms which we didn't figure out until later because there was only a sign for 1 of the 2 bathrooms but once we figured it out, we saw the cute photo op area in the back. It's literally directly behind the DJ. The place is decorated beautifully and plenty of options for pics. Food was great, drinks were great and so were the vibes. Love the way they sing happy birthday with a whole party and bubbles. Overall great experience for a bday brunch no complaints. I will def be back for brunch and dinner for sure.

In my previous review, I tried to be polite in the way that I described my opinion of the food at…read morethis restaurant. Since the restaurant wanted to know which specific dishes I didn't like, I am writing this update. I went with 3 other people and we ordered a variety of dishes. We are all Greek; one member of our party was born and lived in Greece until the age of 16; the others were born and raised in NYC and grew up eating Greek food cooked by their immigrant mothers & relatives, have visited Greece many times over the past 50 years and have eaten at truly authentic restaurants in Queens. So, since you asked, here's my completely honest review: -What is called beef stew on the menu is a complete disgrace to the name. It came out on a rimmed plate; half of the plate had rice and the other half had a tomato-based sauce. Swimming in that sauce were exactly 5 cubes of "stewed beef". The cubes were each the size of dice and one piece wasn't even meat but rather a piece of fat. It was sent back. Before ordering this particular dish, we had asked our server if it was available (since we went at lunchtime); if they didn't have enough beef to serve this dish, they should have told us instead of serving the leftover pieces from the previous day. -The pastitsio was ok, but definitely not an authentic recipe. The ground meat was missing a savory flavor element that a true Greek recipe has. -We had high hopes for what was listed as roast lamb on the menu but were terribly disappointed. It was not slices of succulent roasted lamb as we have gotten many times at Greek restaurants in Astoria. Instead it was several bones with meat on them. The meat was way over-cooked and dry, so it was hard to eat it. The potatoes that came with the dish were ok. -The mixed grill was ok, but again over-cooked. -The fried calamari was ok, no complaints. -The Greek salad was decent but it was a rather small portion for the price. The bottom line is that I find it hard to call the Greek dishes at this restaurant "authentic."

We didn't really get too much of an "Italian" vibe because a majority of the songs were in Spanish or English but that's neither here nor there. Our server was great however it did take a while for him to get around to us and I sat for about 15 minutes waiting for a Coke until my actual entree came out but that's not worries. I put in a special request on OpenTable for a birthday treat and they brought up a big spread of what he could choose from and he opted for the crème brûlée! We really enjoyed it and that they sang him happy birthday. We ordered stuffed crab mushrooms which were delicious and the lobster ravioli was also super yummy! I ordered the chicken parmigiana and thought it tasted like any other kind, it wasn't bad but it didn't stick out to me. I think the noodles were made al dente because they were a bit too firm for my liking and the sauce tasted like it came from a bottle as opposed to real pasta sauce. My partner gave his food an 9/10, I give mine a 7/10. We did some drinks as well I think I had a rum punch and my partner had a mojito and we both enjoyed our drinks as well, 9/10 for the rum and 10/10 for the mojito.
