They have a VEGGIE BURGER option available and it's incredible!…read more I recently discovered that all 7th Street Burger restaurants have an Impossible Veggie Burger and, as someone who didn't even like "real" burgers back when I did eat meat, I'm thrilled to say that their veggie burger is wonderfully tasty! I always order mine without the pickles, however I recommend you don't skip the sauce as it's part of the magic! Their House Sauce is seriously so good that I always order 2-3 of them to dip my fries into. Just a heads up - the veggie burger is a bit on the small side compared to what you might be used to, however I think it's the perfect size! Especially since I always get fries to go with it. I recommend you download their app - not only is there a point system involved, but you can also easily order ahead via the app! I've done this a few times and it's a seamless process. Really glad I discovered the vegetarian burger here! Y'all will definitely be seeing more of me as time goes on. :)

It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games!

What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

The place is LOUD albeit with good taste of retro, 90's music and not the modern trash that floods the radio waves so I can rock with that. Place is sized pretty well with an outside seating area and plenty of tables inside the albeit dimly lit bar/restaurant. Coming into the place I was greeted by a blonde woman who seemed to be a supervisor of the area. She directed me to a comfortable seating area and a server took my order afterwards. The place was relatively busy so the wait for my food was kind of in the long range, about maybe 15 minutes. I ordered Chicken & Waffles with Iced Tea and the food was definitely worth the wait. That chicken was so good, a bit on the crisp side but it's solid in taste. The Waffle had such an awesome texture with the right measure of powdered sugar, decorated with Blueberries and Strawberries, the entrée was plated very well. The Iced Tea, I didn't know it was unsweetened so that threw me off but some sugar kinda fixed that. Service was also 'A' Tier. The place was busy so it was a tad on the slow side but they were very attentive. About 3 different servers tended to me whether it was about my order, how I liked it and paying for the bill when I was finished. That's dedication and I always give props to that. I enjoyed my visit here.

While deciding where to go one day, this was suggested and im so glad I went. The restaurant is cozy with tables inside the main dining room and in an enclosed outdoor seating area. Im guessing it opens in the summer. I sat down with my niece while waiting for my sister and for a good 5-7 minutes, no one stopped by and gave a menu nor offered water. Finally after about 3 people walked by not saying anything, someone came. The area is not that big and 7 minutes isnt that long but to sit there any not be addressed by all the staff walking by was annoying. Finally my sister came and we were offered water and a menu. After hearing about the specials and asking for recommendations, we settled on the gnocchi (housemade potato gnocchi, burrata, peas, pesto sauce, toasted pine nuts), Pappardelle alla Bolognese (housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce), and side of sautéed spinach. The food arrived and we were pleasantly delightful by the main. The gnocchi was so soft and creamy, the sauce was delicious. Im not a fan of gnocchi but this was so good. The papardelle was my meal and it was also so good. There was a lot of pasta and a good amount of meat sauce. It was also delicious. The spinach on the other hand was bland. It has no flavor and we had to add some salt. A few times we tried to call someone over to our table but felt like no one was paying attention. When we were done with our meals, my sister had a few pieces of gnocchi left. She asked for a box as it was to be my nieces lunch for tomorrow. I then said, can you also box up the spinach. A few minutes later, the server dropped off a bag with one container and said here's the spinach. We tried to call his attention but he was already walking away. Where was the gnocchi. Finally when we came back, we asked about it and he said oh I thought it was garbage. I said no we asked for it to be boxed. He said let me talk to the kitchen. He came back and said sorry, they cant do anything but one dessert will be on me. I guess thats fine but we more wanted the food for the baby. For dessert we ordered a tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The tiramisu was in a jar as opposed to a cake slice. One bite of the ice cream and I knew it was bad. It was grainy and sandy texture. I looked up why that would be and one reason stated it could be improper storage, like it was unfrozen or melted then refrozen. I wasn't chancing that. I told the server and said I couldn't eat it. He offered another dessert but I said know, then offered a limoncello shot. While I appreciate the offer, we weren't drinking before so that wasn't the best option to offer. I just said im fine without a replacement. When we got the bill, the dessert was taken off like he said he would. We paid and left. Overall the main course/pasta meals were delicious. The sides and desserts could use work. Service was alright. Id definitely come back for the food and to try some of the pizza.

My fiance & I decided to come here after a long day at work. We wanted to sit outside so we could smoke and enjoy our beer. Unfortunately though, there weren't any seats available. We told the hostess that we didn't mind sitting inside and to let us know when there are seats available so that we can relocate outside. After 30 minutes or so, a teenage couple had left [there were many youngsters here]. We thought the hostess would come and get us but actually she let another couple sit in our seat. My fiance and I were shocked and furious! She had the worst attitude! Now I know for a fact just as well as everyone else that the hostess is the first person you meet and SHE REPRESENTS THE RESTAURANT. So basically the restaurant is perceived as a shitty one with her attitude and careless behavior. Well sweety I will not take your bull! I was furious! I couldn't take it anymore! There was another seat available 20 minutes later and once again my anger was growing. It's not that I have anger issues it's the mere fact that I felt unimportant as if the cafe was saying "Thank you for your money, here's the shitty service you're paying for" Finally I got upset, I asked the cute little waitress who was such a sweet heart and it must've been her first day but I was so furious here's why! I told her about the situation and she spoke to the hostess. Then she told me that the hostess told her that there weren't any seats available yet (NO SHIT) and that she will seat us right after she seats 4 other people. Okay so, I have been to a billion restaurants and when I was teenager I used to be a hostess so from both perspectives my experience tells me that: FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. I would confront the hostess but that is not my job I am a costumer, the waitress should know of this rearrangement. The hostess should have remembered this, it's part of her job! I'm not saying she should be a computer and memorize everything but at least invest in a 99 cent booklet and 99 cent pen and write down a reminder in case you feel overwhelmed or forgot. It was obvious that actually, SHE DID NOT FORGET SHE WAS JUST BEING A B*TCH! HER ATTITUDE WAS DISGUSTING! We spoke to the manager he was kind, he let us sit in a non-smoking section, he gave us two of our drinks on the house. It's not his fault he should depend on his employees but then again it is his fault because he shouldn't have people represent his establishment in the worst way possible. After this vibe... I'd like to see what else Astoria has to offer. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Avenue Restrobar, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The lunch prefix for $20 is an absolute steal, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality and taste of the food. To start, we had the hummus and the soup of the day, which was a delightful seafood soup. The hummus was creamy and full of flavor, while the seafood soup had a delicious depth of taste that left me wanting more. We also couldn't resist trying the spinach dip for $15, and it was worth every penny - warm, cheesy, and served with crispy Chips. For our mains, we shared the cheeseburger with fries and the chicken penne Alfredo. The cheeseburger was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, while the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. The chicken penne Alfredo was creamy, with tender pieces of chicken and perfectly cooked pasta - a true comfort food. But the pièce de résistance was the dessert. We shared the strawberry cheesecake for $12, and it was divine. The velvety, smooth cheesecake was beautifully balanced with the sweetness of the strawberries and the crunchy crust. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It's a hidden gem that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Don't let the modest exterior fool you - Avenue Restrobar is a culinary treasure that you won't want to miss! read more

I recently dined at Avenue Restobar and, unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. Despite having a reservation, I had to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated, which was frustrating. Once we were finally seated, the service did not improve. We waited a while before our server came by to ask us for our order. Then we waited over an hour for our food to arrive even though the server said 30 min. While the boss was very apologetic and offered complimentary desserts to make up for the long wait, it didn't quite make up for the overall poor experience. The food itself was average at best and not worth the extended wait. She offered free dessert which was actually the best tasting thing we had. Overall, I would rate this restaurant a 5/10. The complimentary desserts were a nice gesture, but the long wait times and mediocre food left much to be desired. The Valentine's day decor and music was good though. read more

Avenue cafe just reopened last year after a large renovation. I feel like it looked better with the old layout but it doesn't matter. When i go to avenue my ideal seating is outside when it's warm and maybe in the high tops near the windows when it is cold out. The menu is simple with a typical Greek inspiration. Standard bar food and burgers plus some great Greek dishes and simple sandwiches. Their brunch menu is great, with staples like avocado toast and smoked salmon eggs Benedict. They have a pretty limited collection of liquor-something that should be worked on-- they should look into hiring a mixologist-- it's important to stay on trend but we were glad to see that they had don julio reposado -/ we ordered Mexican miles and a few appetizers and we enjoyed our drinks and our meal. Service is excellent and consistent. read more

I hosted a professional brunch event and the team at Avenue prepared a really fantastic fruit platter with the works -- and on a tight schedule with a really packed house on a Saturday morning. A perfect splash of color and flavor to the buffet. The process of setting up for events like this can be very stressful, but the owner contacted me a few weeks before and also a day or two before the event to make sure I had what I needed for the brunch. It really made the preparatory process so much easier. A BIG HOLLAR TO YIANNI FOR BEING SO AWESOME AND HELPFUL! Everyone was talking about how nice the set up was and has been asking about the places that supplied the food and beverages. Evxaristo poli! read more

The food was mediocre at best and the service was slow. I ordered the breakfast burger and there was only cheese on 1/2 of it. It also had a glob of aioli sauce on one side of the burger. I could tell that the cook just slapped it together and took no pride in it. I tried my husband's sandwich and it was bland. As for the service, the waitress was okay, but she had so many tables that we had to wait 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. The busboy also only brought out only one water. How hard is it to assume that everyone wants a water with their meal?! Overall, there is no reason to go back here. It was a waste of $70 for brunch. read more

Tried this place one last time and I will not return. Both times, the waitresses were incredibly rude, probably because I'm American and not Greek or Serbian. My orders were prepared incorrectly and when asking to get it fixed, no one was around. On both occasions, I've seen the owner/manager either sitting on a laptop at the edge of the bar or smoking a cigar out front. Completely unaware of what's going on in the restaurant. Had he'd been involved with the customers experience, I would have given this place another chance. read more

Are you looking for a spot to sit, relax, and not be bothered? Avenue Cafe is the spot to do so. Though it might be constantly packed, the friendly staff makes you feel welcome.

Today, I came with my daughter and a friend of ours and tried their crispy chicken sandwich deluxe w/fries and my daughter had the short rib grilled cheese w/onion rings and it was so yummy and juicy!!! You must try both!!! Their onion rings were done to perfection. We sat at the bar and the bartender was cool and a nice guy. All in all a great place. Awesome food and vibe.

Another Sunnyside gem. This neighborhood just has some of the best eats it really does…read more My boyfriend and I came here for a little mini date and the pictures kind of speak for themselves. It was in the middle of the day, so the service was also pretty good, but it wasn't super packed so it was nice and quick. The bruschetta was fire. My boyfriend got a seafood dish, which I cannot attest to you because I'm allergic to shellfish, but my dish was pretty good. Always a great time in Sunnyside, I will be back!

It's not on the menu, I think they added it after the menus were printed. The meat is really juicy with the right amount of give. All prepared on the spindle outside for your local neighborhoodly pleasure. I don't particularly enjoy drinking at restaurants anymore, given my age and the current economy but I'll take any reason to enjoy their micheladas. It's hot sauce, not tomato, based and one of the most cohesive tasting micheladas I've ever had. I think the quality varies depending on the bartender but either way, I'm a sucker for a cool beverage and outdoor dining. It's right under the train, so be be prepared for the occasion conversation breaker but that occasional breeze in this unprecedented heat makes it worth it.

Great service! Bartending is being consistent and very…read morefriendly Picture is a Mamma Mia Cocktail

From the outside, it doesn't look very big, but once you wak in, the indoor seating is spacious. They also have outdoor seating available. There's also tv's inside if you want to watch something while you're dining. The service left a little something to be desired, but the food and portion sizes definitely made up for it. Looking over the menu, I was surprised by how much they offer. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. So there's a wide variety to choose from. I ordered the Beef Souvlaki Platter, which came with fries, salad and plenty of beef. It was very filling. One thing to note is that they charge a fee for paying with a credit card, so you're better off bringing cash if you want to avoid the extra charge.
