A super kind person who loves to laugh and makes some great drinks. The place is small but cozy. There are a few tables and a bar with stools and the place got pretty packed for a Monday night.

THE WORST SERVICE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE…read more Came here last night with my wife because I saw all the great reviews and figured, how bad could it be? Turns out, very, very, VERY bad. We ordered two cocktails. 45 MINUTES LATER, we were still waiting. I asked our waitress twice where they were. Both times, dismissive and annoyed: "They're coming." At that point I assumed they were being delivered by horseback. The drinks finally came, watered down and mediocre. We eventually ordered a second round, and somehow three different people became involved in getting us drinks. One of them came over to ask for my wife's name for the order (?). I genuinely started wondering if we were applying for a mortgage. How many people does it take to make a cocktail here? Literally let me behind the bar and I'll mix the martini myself. It takes under 60 seconds at any bar in Manhattan, but somehow in Flushing, every drink order takes 45 minutes.

Boozy Fun as we celebrated my nephew's 21st birthday. The place gets really packed from Prime Time…read more8pm to late. First come, first serve in this local gem of a bar. Great mixologists and wait staff is very attentive. We went three rounds and everyone was happy with their drinks. The mini lobster rolls and fries were a nice entree for one of the guests. The fries had a nice seasoning to them and topped with garnish. Everyone else was here for the drinks. So many options on the drink menu including wines, cocktails and mocktails. If you don't see it on the menu, you can still ask if they can make it. Very cool vibes and atmosphere. The seating was comfy in the booths and the lighting was just right for a social gathering.

Ate here on a Sunday night with some friends. Surprisingly, the place was completely empty. I know…read moreit was a Sunday night but it didn't seem to bode well. Fortunately, the food was delicious and service was impeccable. We ordered 4 entrées to share and enjoyed everything. My favorite was the Half-Baked Chicken. The skin was so crispy and the chicken so tender. The Braised Short Rib was also really good and the crispy Brussels sprouts that come with it were the perfect amount of crispy. The other dishes we ordered were good too. We finished everything down to the last grain of rice.

I had been meaning to try Bloom Botanical Bistro for a while, since it seems to be a neighborhood…read morestaple, and finally stopped in for brunch with a guest from out of town. The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

We asked about happy hour since Instagram said they had it, but turns out it's not a thing anymore. They owned the miscommunication and took care of us, offering $8 wine, discounts on a couple appetizers, and even a complimentary extra glass of wine to make it up. We ordered a few things off the tapas menu. The popcorn chicken, the octopus, uni and foie gras, short ribs, and beef tacos. The short ribs leaned a bit dry, but everything else was on point. Standout by far was the uni and foie gras. A little pricey for 4 pieces but very delicious. Big shoutout to the 2 staff on site, very friendly, warm and responsive throughout. I would recommend Tavern 157 if you're in the area looking for something casual with good drinks and food and not in the mood for Korean food. Just double-check happy hour before you go, as they mentioned a new one may be coming. Overall, a really enjoyable first visit.

The food was not bad, but would not say it lives up to the prices. We got a squid ink pasta which…read moreis not pictured, but it contained sea urchin that did not taste fresh at all. But, the oysters tasted pretty fresh with little to no sea water taste. The interior of this restaurant is unique and interesting with nice ambiance. The service was good at first until we asked for the bill and a 20% gratuity fee was applied which is for a party of 6 or more (as stated in the menu), but we only had 5 people. When we asked the waitress about this, she said that the statement in the menu isn't updated, and that they charge this fee on weekends because it's busier (not stated in the menu). Mind you the restaurant was completely empty when we walked in at 8pm. However, the waitress did ended up refunding us the difference for the tip.

Our server kept checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. The calamari and shrimp ceviche were both delicious - the calamari was well battered and the ceviche was fresh. My entree, chicken baraki, was a large portion (had to take it home) and it was delicious. The drinks looked amazing but we didn't try any this time - definitely on our next visit! The spot is somewhat busy but not super noisy, which I liked. Parking is street parking and it does get busy in this area. Overall, a great spot with cool drinks and good food!

She was friendly, attentive, gave good recommendations, and worked seamlessly with the rest of the staff to make sure everything went smoothly. The restaurant has a great vibe with a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a nicely decorated back room that was perfect for our group. It's clean, spacious, and was surprisingly busy for a Monday early night. We also found out they have great specials, including $1 wings. The spicy margarita was a hit amongst the group. The drinks were good, and my favorites were the Brussels sprouts and calamari. The rest of the group loved the wings, and the salad, and burger was also really good. We ordered a variety of small plates and desserts to share, and everything was enjoyable. We will definitely be back and would recommend it. Metered street parking is available outside.

The other waiter was great too, Gary has surpassed his training. The rooftop is worth it and the food was great. I also got to speak with the manager about the great service and she was great. I forgot to take pictures because I was with a friend I hadn't seen in 4 years. We got the edemame, the gyoza and wings and they were all amazing. We also got the Cobb salad and the beef soup and it was equally good. I would recommend this place however it wasn't cheap but the drinks and food were good. If you go to the terrace minimum before 7 is $35 before 7pm. I would come back.
