    Salmon
    Warren A.

    We came here for brunch and had delicious food and cocktails. We started with the espresso martini which you can also opt to have with coconut rum. The smoked salmon on hash browns were also delicious but my fave was the burger which comes with bacon and an egg. Service was excellent especially from AK the bartender. Will definitely come back.

    Pickle martini

    Hands down best pickle martini in all of nyc. They're dangerously delicious! Love this place for happy hour with friends, they have great food and even better drinks.

    French toast sticks with julienned apples. The best french toast sticks I've ever had!
    Cynthia W.

    This restaurant has more space than you expect when you first walk in. We went there for brunch and the food was excellent. To start we had french toast sticks that were to die for. They were made a little different and delicious. Our second starter was riff on lox & bagels but instead of the bagel, it was on a homefries. Then we had the Nashville hot chicken, steak & eggs, and eggs benedict and we ate it all.

    Brunch is nice, decent menu and food. Service is timely and warm. Huge bar area upon entering, which is nice and spacious. Bartender hooked up some nice gin cocktails.

    Amazing cocktails, amazing atmosphere, amazing hosts, amazing service, amazing venue - the food is so mid though. The carrot falafel didn't honor the textures of a true falafel. It was mushy. The flavors were lacking. The fish tacos too, left me missing the fresh notes garnishes often provide. Fish was crisped to perfection but just lacked flavor? I did like that the food items seemed to be made fresh with whole ingredients. I'd return to the establishment, but not for the food. The vibes are great. They also have a nice back yard that's kids and family friendly. Cute touch :)

    How have I not reviewed The Bonnie! I forget that there was a life before Yelp and I just have to sometimes catch up my Yelp life with my former life. Intern Lauren had never been so it was a great time to go back. She got there before me and asked if we should sit in the garden area or inside. Even though it was hot, I just love that outdoor area so damn much. So I met her outside at one of their picnic tables. I should note that they have the best cocktails. They use elderflower in some which is such a great ingredient for summer cocktails. We didn't drink this time around but I did need to mention this for future diners. Food wise: a favorite is the shishito pepper which once again did not disappoint. The zucchini chip also ate a huge win with that whipped feta. For the main event, I went with the snap pea and feta salad. A great summer dish. Our server was wonderful. This visit was another great one and look forward to another return!

    Pretty chill bar, has a bar in the front and one in the back. It's super dark in there but it goes with the theme. We came in just for drinks so this review is based solely on that. The drinks were yummy, the only reason it's not a five star it's because the service lacks, then again, we came in a little late so maybe the bartender was tired at that point. He rarely interacted with us and we had to wait for him every time we wanted another drink which was a little frustrating.

    Shishito Peppers
    Lauren P.

    A new place to love!! The summer vibes are *chef's kiss* and I can't wait to visit again. The zucchini chips could be a lil crispier but that whipped feta is delish. The shishito peppers and miso-kewpie mayo were also to die for. Not to mention that these apps were such great portions that it looked like we barely made a dent in them. I ordered the Santa Fe Crispy Chicken Salad (without pickled onions) and it was so good and filling--I don't think I've ever loved a salad more. We sat in their backyard garden which is more of a casual vibe. Inside is more like a cocktail bar vibe--think dim, warm lighting and booths. Even though we were outside, we still had attentive servers outside and never felt like we had to flag someone down. Good for both small groups or date night!

    Avocado Toast
    Maggie B.

    Had a great brunch here! We weren't able to make reservations online and thought it would be packed, but we were seated right away around noon on a Saturday. The restaurant had wood and brick walls, with lots of seating options including backless barstools and couches with tables for smaller parties. To start, we shared the cinna-bun toast sticks. These were wonderful. An order came with four. They were crispy on the outside, while soft and fluffy on the inside. Drizzled with cinnamon sauce, they melted in your mouth. My only complaint was that they didn't offer the cream cheese frosting as a dip. For my main, I had the avocado toast. This was hearty and filling, with grainy bread, pickled onions, poached egg (served on the side), and pumpkin seeds. The plate was sprinkled with tajin spicy seasoning, which provided a nice burst of flavor. Their mimosas were a steal at $8. Mine was served in a stemless wine glass, which was an unexpected change from the usual champagne flute. My partner got the shrimp and grits and said it was one of the best he's had with kale, sausage, and peeled shrimp. He also enjoyed the Astoria iced tea. Service was fast and attentive. We loved every bite!

    Smash Burger (x2) and Cheese Fries
    Samantha S.

    We came here for dinner last night and both ordered smash burgers with a side of cheese fries to share. The burger was a good size, and the fries were better than I was expecting! (I am not a regular cheese fry person, so this was a positive experience.) I really liked the spicy aioli that came with the fries and wish it had been on the burger also. Service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant has nice open air seating in their back patio. I'd definitely stop by again in the area for food or just drinks and to enjoy the ambiance.

    Shrimp & Cheesy Grits
    Anthony D.

    The food was great. The service was great. Actually got the food to go. I had the shrimp and cheesy grits. That's was excellent. The grits were smooth, velvety and cheesy. It also came with andouille sausage and kale. Great accompaniments to go along with the shrimp and grits. Right amount of sausage grease. I also had the hot honey chicken biscuit. The chicken was fried to perfection, but it was a little on the smaller side compared to the biscuit. The pickles on the sandwich was to die for. And then the biscuit. OMG. What can I say. Who doesn't love a great biscuit. Nice and moist. Overall a great sandwich. Would definitely get again. It seems everyone was enjoying themselves in this establishment. It was plenty people, but not crowded. Also wasn't noisy for the amount of people that was there and everyone was engaged with each other.

The second time, we had to deal with stupid bouncers or security guards before being let into their bar/pub. That's a huge turnoff for me, and it's only worth it for strip clubs and concerts. Sweet Afton is a hip Irish-style pub known for its craft cocktails, extensive beer selection, and upscale pub fare. It has a cozy interior with exposed brick and a sought-after outdoor garden area that is enclosed in the winter.  A few of their menu items include "Astoria's best burger" (using Pat LaFrieda beef), the Dirty Pickle Martini (featuring McClure's pickle juice), and beer-battered fried pickles. I learned that they have a sister pub called the Bonnie in Ditmars, which I have been to and had a great time. Last Saturday I came back for a third time. I was surprised at how things had changed; much more laid-back, with good customer service, good vibes, and one of the most delicious bar burgers I have ever eaten, with a side salad, in any pub or establishment in Queens. Furthermore, Sweet Afron had some nice alternatives to bear and larger, and I selected a cider instead. First, I was offered a sip, and then, upon my approval, a full glass of cider. In conclusion, I do plan to return!

First off, my event was from 4-7PM but thankfully they allowed the decorators to come way before hand to setup, I was also able to stop by the morning of to check on everything. They had custom menus on all the tables. Everything came out exactly how I had envisioned it! The food was amazing ... as always; I have been coming here for yearsssss. And the service was great.
