    Not a lot of gluten-free appetizer choices but salad & filet were great & I always love a trio of sorbet! The Pinot noir was really lovely! Enjoyed having the private room upstairs for a group dinner!

    Our waitress was amazing! I had the grand chicken panini and it was good but a little dry. My friend had the chicken parm panini and she enjoyed that as well. Ask for chipotle mayo for your fries :)

    Come for brunch, sit outside, luxuriate & imagine u are in a European locale, while you wait for your order to be served at a snail's pace. Get the sweet potato fries.

    Feta cheese fries, Kebob wrap with feta cheese, lamb burger with feta cheese or just a side of feta cheese. Common denominator == GREAT FETA CHEESE!!!

    Yummy brunch! You get a free cocktail with your entree but it's very small. The service is very fast and friendly, even when it's crowded.

    Chocolate fondant here is a dense slice of chocolate cake, not the usual delicious molten cake!!!! Very disappointing!!!!

    I really don't know what people complain about... Folks here served me well... Music is good enough that no one can listen what you're talking about to your friends... Place is nice!

    If you order the brunch special, make sure to ask that your cocktail and tea/coffee are not brought out at the same time. Bloody Mary's are great :)

    Cool spot, the food was pretty good, everyone liked their drinks I just ordered a Makers Mark on the rocks, service was good!

    So apparently even though it doesn't say this nowhere in the menu you can't get a side with your pancakes or French toast even though at the top of the menu it says it comes with a side of fries.

    I love the brunch here. Try the burger with bacon and home fries, and have a mimosa!

    I've been coming here for brunch almost every weekend. They never disapoint. Wait for your meal can be the only downside, but it's definitely worth it once it arrives.

    One of the best legendary cafe's in Astoria. If you don't like it... Don't come here.... Nobody said you had to stay. But the music is off the hook here!

    Nothing beat s their Grand omelette with sweet potato fries and honey mustard on the side.... and you get a nice complimentary minosa or bloody mary

    Great brunch spot, especially on a nice day when the outdoor seating is available. However, we had to wait a long time for our food... so if it's crowded, you may want to check out another place.

    First time tonight. Had chicken kabob platter with veggies and rice.sooooo good yum. But slow ass service. Wow. Pick up the speed a little and would love this place.

    Pass on Grand Cafe. This used to be the cheap and quick place to grab a bite. They have raised their prices dramatically and last time I went we waited 40 mins for a sandwich and a burger

    I like the food and brunch is fairly popular. But I can't stand the night crowd. I always order to go at night.

    Love their to-go section in the back with its own entrance. Good espresso and quick!

    Best place for slow service and fake breakfast syrup given in single serve packets. The food is mediocre and not worth the price. For the price you pay they should at least offer REAL syrup. 😕

    A definite case for chef Ramsey, be ready to wait and wait and wait more, smoothies are good- Paris bistro feel but not worth the hassle

    Check out the platters for some late night snacks when you've been out too late having a good time!

    Kind of jersey shore like crowd. Loud and really small tables for a ginormous space to pack people in. Most brunch food is actually under a heatlamp, and can as a result come out cold.

    Gets super crowded, so if you're not into bumping elbows, arrive early. They serve complimentary little mini muffins at brunch.

    Ok service but our orders wrong. If you ask for no onions in a sandwich then I mean no onions. They returned my sandwich w/onions still in it, I had to pick them out. Never again, as if they care.

    Can someone point out to this house music, Guido infested wannabe euro club/cafe crowd that this place is terrible. Overcooked food, way too many bro-tanks, and a complete waste of time. Evolve!

    What a bunch of useless bimbos. Busier rubbing their tits on guys and fucking around rather than actually taking care of all their tables.
