One of my new favorite spots in Astoria. I say "new" because despite being close, I just paid a visit. A shame I waited. Great staff, full bar, amazing menu, eclectic, specials, live music on Thurs.
Raquel AlonsoMarch 1, 2013Delicious cheese & meat platters! Small venue but very delicious food. Recommend the Argentinean steak skewers and cheese 2 platter with a bottle of sweet wine. Free dessert if you order a bottle!
Rachel IvyMarch 14, 2016Pretty good brunch, very laid back place. Waitress was so sweet. I wanted a bellini but she ran out of peach & concocted her own bellini with pear, yum! Steak sandwich could use some oomph though.
Live music all the time. Great cocktails. Great snacks. Come for drinks and snacks, or stay for dinner. Can't go wrong
Jessica KowalskiNovember 11, 2011Cool place, music on thursdays and a chill atmosphere. Reminds me of a place in brooklyn. I'd recommend it. Every now and then the food takes a little while when its busy- don't come starving.
Great service, amazing bartenders and friendly owners. Solid selection of beers and wine with food to match. Love it in the summer with the outside tables. Great warm vibe inside too.
James FiltzMarch 26, 2013Guac and fondue excellent. Shrimp is not recommended. Steak tips were probably the tastiest item with #epic chimmihuri sauce!
A great place to just chill and read a book. Staff is super nice. Bottle of wine + dessert special is even nicer.
Ana TafhurtOctober 1, 2016Beer selection is very good, local breweries. Atmosphere is laid back, classic rock good for drinks and conversation. Food wasn't that good. Too much food smoke. Overall ok.
Tara FayeMarch 25, 2012A great neighborhood find. Excellent wine and beer menu, tasty small plates and romantic atmosphere.
Tatiana OrlovFebruary 16, 201220% off wine bottles on wednesdays. guac. frisée with deep fried poached egg. amazing bartender. love.
Alex TabarNovember 14, 2010Try the Chesse platters and the guacamole. This is my favorite place in Astoria. Like the Central Perk from Friends for me and my friends.
Wendy GonzalezMarch 10, 2012Love the Classic Fondue and White Sangria..been here 4 times and keep coming back for more..
Marisa WestheimerMay 26, 2012Try the Austrian white wine...nice dry wine perfect for a summer's night
- 20% off a bottle of wine on Wednesdays, and they have the best guacamole in Astoria.
Thanks, Josh B., for the guacamole tip. Ordered, devoured & thoroughly enjoyed. Ditto the recommendation.
Tim Ryan SmithFebruary 25, 2010Quaint little spot with great beer selection and tasty tapas. Read more
Luckie DarlingDecember 27, 2010Used to go there a lot, but a bartender was such a jerk. He lied and said the kitchen was closed. Found out 15 mins later he just wanted to close up early to go drinking himself.
