Food is tasty and good. Service is great. I only wish they had expresso coffee.

I'd like to preface that this might have been a bad day for them, but my experience here was pretty terrible and we very likely wont be coming back.My partner ordered a double smashburger that ended up being dry and gray with no caramelization at all and I ordered the tomahawk pork chop that was as dry as leather and pretty hard to eat.After 40 minutes of sitting at the table being served lukewarm water, the food finally came. The flavors were good, and could have been great and the presentation WAS great, but if it's not cooked properly that doesnt make up for it.I mentioned to the waitress, who was pretty inattentive about the problem, and even extra sauce could not make the pork edible. The restaurant was not busy either, with maybe 2 other parties and a couple people drinking.After we finished and asked for the check, they tried to charge us $29 instead of $19 for the again, gray burger which we luckily caught just for them to say they typed 2 instead of 1 on their current up-to-date P.O.S. somehow.This was a $45 meal. No excuse.

Decent portion of food and also flavorful, with creative cocktail menu.

I lived in Astoria many years ago and this was one of my favorite place then. Today I had a random occassion of coming near to the neighborhood, so came here for late lunch.Unfortunately they no longer have my favorite menu, so that was very dissappointing. Another minus one star because they cooked my burger’s meat medium well-done while what I ordered was medium rare.

Service was good & the food was overall good- but not special. My friend’s potatoes were cold, my avocado toast was not on toasted bread. My friend said the eggs on her Benedict were tiny & didn’t have enough hollandaise.The cheese (I asked for it) was not melty. The kale dumplings were good. We didn’t do drinks so the bill was only like $50. Like I said, good, but nothing special.

Great date night spot. Got a little frustrated that it took about an hour to get food. The staff was very nice and apologized and gave us a free round of drinks, but wish the food had been worth the wait. The ambiance is fantastic though for late night drinks. Would go back just for the drinks and staff!

Great service and great food and drinks. Definitely a neighborhood staple here in Astoria. Johnny, Aaron and Henry are excellent behind the bar, and you can't go wrong with any of their cocktails (I'm partial to the Hall Pass, myself!). Really good brunch options as well; and definitely check out Taco Tuesday, they offer great specials!!

100/10! Definitely recommend this place, such a great vibe and everyone who works here is so kind. Louis was our host and he was amazing. Super sweet guy and great at his job. The food was delicious and every single bite was better. We had a bunch of drinks and all were great. My favorite was the frozen coffee with bourbon, holy smokes ??! We will definitely be back, thank you for the amazing food and service.

Very good food! Nice place and service too
