This is a Mediterranean restaurant. A friend referred me here for the drinks and said they were top notch, and honestly she wasn't wrong. The drinks were really good. I even went old school and ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, and the bartender put his own little twist on it that actually worked really well. The burger was huge -- a little too much for me -- but it was still good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music and vibe were nice, and they have outdoor seating for the nice weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it's a great spot to grab some good drinks. Definitely would recommend. read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon. They still had a brunch menu (not big fan) but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place had a nice ambiance inside so I was willing to give it a try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a few hiccups with the service - at first when ordering a hot coffee received an iced frappe. I then ordered brunch burger which stated it came with "homemade fries". When I received my burger, it had roasted potatoes with peppers. I asked the manager about the discrepancy because I thought it came with French Fries (otherwise I would have asked to substitute), she apologized and said it is a "misprint" on the menu and misleading because it should say home fries instead of homemade fries. She corrected the problem for me though and gave me a side of French Fries and didn't charge me, so I was appreciative. I would have accepted the home fries after the explanation but appreciated the extra effort. The burger was cooked to my liking and had good flavor. The tzatziki spread tasted good but the pita came burnt. I would have gave 3 stars but gave an extra one for the manager correcting the two issues. I am willing to visit and try again with full menu. read more

Avenue Restobar - Brunch Burger (without fried egg) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Astoria, New York

If you could perfect imperfection, this place proves it can be done. I have been coming here for a long time, and after the recent renovations, it feels like a complete transformation without losing what made it special in the first place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is refined but still comfortable, the service is attentive without being overbearing, and the entire space feels thoughtfully upgraded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The brunch menu is well put together, with a strong variety of options that cover everything from lighter choices to more indulgent dishes. The quality of the food is consistent, portions are solid, and everything is presented with care. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can tell attention was given not just to the look of the place, but to the overall experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is not easy to renovate a place and come back better without losing your identity, but they managed to do exactly that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is still the same spot people enjoyed before, just sharper, cleaner, and more polished. Definitely worth coming back to, and easy to recommend. read more

I had walked by here a thousand times and finally gave it a try for brunch recently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere here gives Euro vibes, with a solid brunch menu that includes a robust selection of breakfast and lunch options, along with a bottomless drink option if you're trying to get real wild.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated immediately and our server was super attentive throughout. My iced americano was beautiful and strong, and my eggs benedict were exactly what I needed that morning. The potatoes they came with were crispy and flavorful, the hollandaise sauce tasted fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I appreciated the seating options in this place, the people watching here is ideal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tables that are kind of indoor/outdoor so that you're not in the sun but also have a great view of everything happening on 30th ave.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back! read more

Came here multiple times throughout the years but sad to say I will not be returning after my recent visit this past Sunday. Just want to state that my husband and I were debating between here and the Grand next door for my first Mother's Day ever but we chose this spot. We went knowing it will be very busy of course (my husband owns a restaurant so we understand how crazy it gets. We ordered one salad with chicken on top, one order of pancakes and one egg Benedict at 2:10pm and the food arrived at 3:15pm. Our salad had a few tiny pieces of chicken and the eggs Benedict was the worst I've ever had. Ive been craving pancakes for the first time since I was a kid and was hoping it would satisfy my craving but it was a fail. Plus, they forgot to give the syrup at first so I ate one piece plain. A female server apologized for the long wait and asked if I needed another wine which I thought was on the house but they charged us. My fault for misunderstanding though but her gesture seemed like it was on them. Oh well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, I was inevitably seated in the sun with my 2 month old in the heat so it was a bit inconvenient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Waitress was making my wife feel rushed to order her food. When we did order she didn't even ask what we wanted to drink, I had to stop her from rushing off just to get the drinks in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated at an open window eating. A couple of guys were just seated outside at a table directly in front of a No Smoking sign. When I brought up my issue with the hostess she told me that it was an allowed location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] How when there's clearly a sign not too. So I show her the NYC restaurant Smoke free air act she doubles down on it being ok. At that point I realized she knew them and it didn't matter that we were eating and had a 10 month old daughter with us. This was our first time here for brunch and will never be back. read more

I recently had dinner with a classmate at Avenue Restobar. I had been there in the past and it was ok. My recent experience was phenomenal. The place is pretty. There was nice Christmas decor. The staff was great. The greeter was nice. The waitress was amazing. She was attentive and checked on us often. Multiple staff members checked on us, on our drinks, on our food and even pushed another table over for us to have more space. A manager also checked in with us. The level of attention was superb, unexpected and was performed in a very tasteful and unobtrusive manner. There was a prefix menu. The items on it were very tasty and it included an appetizer, entree and dessert. There was a happy hour special, but I chose to get an espresso martini, which was tasty at $18. I believe the Prefix menu was $34.95 and runs Monday to Thursday. The highlight for me was the molten chocolate cake. The crispy calamari was also good and the hummus stayed long after the starters. Avenue Restobar was definitely a surprisingly enjoyable experience. From the food to the staff, my compliments and thanks. If you are trying to choose from the many options on this strip and it is a Monday-Thursday and you don't choose this place, I believe that you are doing yourself a huge disservice. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is terrible. They blast music so loud you can't hear the person you're sitting next to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the food is overpriced for what you get. I asked the manager to turn it down and she rolled her eyes at me. Wow. read more

From first glance the place looks very elegant, the ambiance is nice the only problem is the chairs/booths. They seem a bit cracked and old but otherwise pretty beautiful. We started off with some "greek fries" topped w feta and a side of tzaziki sauce. Along with the "Grilled Octopus" paired with their delicious red pepper sauce... honestly chefs kisses :* For drinks we had the cranberry margarita and FINALLY! a drink thats not wattered down in astoria, it was strong but very well balanced with the cranberry flavors. We also had the Alfredo fettuccine and the Chicken parm... Once again chefs kisses :* Service was amazing, special thanks to Anna and her staff members for their great service tonight. Definitely will be returning. read more

Saturday bottomless brunch, 2 people, reserved in advance. Great food, great service, reasonably priced - highly recommend the white sangria. And can't go wrong with Greek coffees - I had the frappé and my friend had a different iced coffee after someone at a table nearby ordered it. Bottomless brunch is 90 minutes, you can switch drinks but we each stuck with the white sangria. They made sure to bring one last one before the 90 minutes was up! We got here at 1 pm and decided to get lunch food instead of brunch. I had the salmon burger with salad and my friend had the fried chicken BAT sandwich with fries. We had hummus to start- SO GOOD. We will definitely be back and plan to try the brunch entrees next time. PS discount if paying cash instead of card. read more

Eddy was fantastic he was our host for a Bachelorette party, and omg was another level. He organized the party in less than an hour fantastic decorations, balloon, and fire sticks .. Ilir was taking care of our table and make sure we are having our glass filled. The food was so tasty and dress we had pizza, burgers and Fried calamari, for drink champagne and shots !! If you want your party be remembered by years talk to Eddy and rest assured he will take care of your event. The Dj of the Night wasn't what I expect but ok for Saturday night should be more variety of songs IMO Other wise The place is so beautiful the atmosphere is like you are in some Place in Europe I love the yellow umbrellas. I definitely recommend Avenue for event or even if you want to stop by for coffee and feel like you are out of New York read more

Decent food and nice ambiance. Came for lunch. Their decor was modern and we liked their outdoor seating. Came here before reading reviews after we strolled around the neighborhood and gave this place a shot. Pretty pricey here compared to the other restaurants around. Ambiance: 4/5 (seat cushions were ripping apart but decor was nice) Food flavors: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Service: 4/5 (other servers and bus boys were very attentive and lots of water refills) Oysters were fresh. 4/5 They gave us an extra menu for the oyster specials so we thought it was separate from the main menu's oysters. They just mean that is their current selection. I asked the server how much the half dozen costs because seafood specials are usually M.P. and I didn't want to be surprised at the bill. He just said "6." Lol....... It's regular menu price btw. Avenue burger was 4/5 My partner liked the portion and seasoning of the mushrooms. He asked for medium rare and liked how juicy it was. Seafood pasta was 5/5 Pasta was al denta and they didn't skimp on the seafood. The scallop was so tender. However... Server didn't ask if we have any allergies or sensitivities to any food groups. I didn't see cheese listed on the menu for the pasta. They brought it out with a pile of parmesan. I know I should've clarified beforehand but menus usually list what has dairy and this didn't. It was a bit frustrating to have it corrected and wait for a new plate while my partners food went cold. The pasta was hot to the point of tasting like it came from a microwave but I'll assume it was fresh because the textures and flavors were great. Management and servers tried to be nice. Service is good but I won't come back. read more

If you're in Astoria and looking for a brunch with not just good drinks but food as well pop into Avenue. It's very rare you find a brunch spot where the food and drinks are good. I opted for the wild salmon burger and it was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. It comes with fries or a salad and I asked for the house salad as well as truffle fries because who doesn't love truffle fries! Our waitress Constantina was super attentive and friendly. It was a chill environment good for friends, family, or a cute brunch date. I will surely be back here! read more

My friend and I came here on a whim because the brunch spot we originally wanted to go to was closed. Despite being very busy, we got lucky and were seated fairly quickly. They have a nice outdoor setup, but one thing I really didn't like was that there was a diner next to use smoking. I found it extremely rude. Order: - Continental Breakfast (4/5) - The VIP (4/5) Pros: - Nice outdoor dining set up - Good tasting food - Strong drinks Cons: - Brunch menu is smaller than I expected - They let diners smoke - Service could honestly be better ~ the female servers were nice, but I found some of the male servers a little stand-offish Overall: I was a little worried because the reviews for this place we're all that great, but the food was actually good read more

The aesthetics at the restaurant is stunning. It reminds me of the restaurants in South Beach. I liked the ambiance a lot. It was a bit of a wait but nothing serious. When we got to the food order/service it got really messy. There was a wrong order, there was a partial wine spillage. Then my biggest pet peeve happened because the wrong order we patiently waited for our one friend to get her food before we touched ours. That's the proper etiquette right? The drinks here were potent which is right up my alley. The chicken skewers were bomb! This is me reinventing the wheel but i feel like with rice it would be an admirable entree. read more

Hear me out. The spiked, cold coffee and food were so good I forgot how to take quality pictures. The hosts are great. My partner spilled food on himself and they came around with soda water and paper towel to help get the stain out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was so good. I always appreciate a fiver with my meal so I'm grateful of having the option of ordering a salad or fruits with my meal. Ingredients are so fresh and cooked well. Presentations nice too. read more

Stopped in for brunch. Not the hippest crowd but excellent music spun by a very talented dj. Nightclub type atmosphere. The music was quite loud so if you don't like this beware. But I loved it. The choice of music was very good. The restaurant is open with indoor and outdoor seating. Very large dining area with tasteful decor. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. Now onto the food: I'd come back here time and time again for this calamari. Some of the best I've ever had. The quesadilla, served like a pizza, was also excellent. I did not have the chicken and waffles but I tried it off my date's plate. I liked the addition of halloumi cheese which made it savory and sweet, but it was a little too thick and dry. The chicken looked juicy and well seasoned. Not pictured: Caesar salad. It was pretty solid and basic I actually would give this spot a 4.5 but there's no option for half a star and that's bc of the service. The waitress didn't seem interested in being attentive to our table because we didn't have any liquor. Or at least that's how it seemed. She also had to be instructed to refill our water which she did begrudgingly. Overall, a solid place to have a nice meal and vibe out. read more

Stopped in for a quick dessert on a Friday evening. Avenue has more of a brunch scene so it was pretty quiet inside. Service was good (though they brought out the wrong dessert first, our waitress caught it immediately and had the kitchen fix it). The crepes are massive, which explains the hefty price tag. I tried the brownie one and it was as you'd expect. Lots of dough, sugar, and super carby. Perfect for when you need a little cheat meal. read more

This place seems pretty hip with a live DJ on the weekends and a portion of the restaurant that opens up fully to the outside. However, service was poor. We waited about 20-25 min after being seated to finally have a server approach us for water/drinks. Also same issue when trying to leave and asking for the bill-had to flag someone down. Food was lackluster, the chicken quesadilla was interesting...not sure if it was the chicken or what exactly but I had one bite and was not super interested. read more

This person you see in the photo is Eddy and he is the best host that Avenue Restobar can have, we arrived at Avenue for a bachelorette party, without a reservation, Eddy was able to accommodate 16 women in a couple of minutes, he took the time to decorated the table with balloons, sprinkles and fans for us all in a matter of seconds, it exceeded all our expectations, it was a very good experience, we are very grateful to Avenue, for allowing us to celebrate my friend's bachelorette party at the last moment.

Such a good breakfast ! I wanted to eat more but couldn't! A post covid brunch here was just what I needed. We started off with the Greek fries which were amazing, then moved on to the Waffles and Crab cakes eggs benedict. Everything tasted farm fresh and those waffles were so scrumptious. Though I live in bk, I definitely would venture back out here for this brunch. I had some mocktails since I was driving and both of those were good. Parking in the area is cramped since the neighborhood is thriving, but if you circle around your bound to find something. read more

Definitely my favorite bar in Astoria!!! Where do I start? The ambience, the service, the vibe.. This is my go to spot- whether I want to have breakfast/ coffee on a Monday. When I want to have lively brunch on Saturdays and Sundays (They always have a Dj from 3pm which makes it the hypest restaurant in Astoria without it being ghetto vibes) The clientele's mostly very elegant. The night vibes is very chill too. I love coming here because of the people. They always make me feel at home. The manager Eddy's such a sweetheart!! He's always so warm and welcoming. Zach the bartender's always the life of the party. Adam is amazing and Christian's the sweetest. Food and drinks are great. They have happy hour from 4-7pm with both food and drinks. The drinks are strong and the small bites are not that small. Very generous with the serving. Love this place so much!! read more

If you're looking for a dog friendly filling Brunch with ample seatings outdoors you're at the right spot! My family & I decided to check out Avenue mainly because it had availability on their large outdoor area to enjoy with our lap dog. Their Brunch served till 4PM gives you enough time to enjoy their dishes until later than other places in the area. I was extremely happy with our choice as everything we ordered is something that I can recommend without hesitation. We had their Guacamole - Freshly made, The Avenue burger (Medium) - Extremely filling , Steak & Eggs (Medium) - Cooked to perfection, & the Nutella Crepe was just perfect! As for drinks the lemonades are refreshing & natural, their Blueberry Mojito Mocktail had an amazing flavor & their Mint Mojito was right on point! The service was great as there were multiple people checking on tables, we didn't wait an extensive amount of time to get our food & our doggy even was given their ceramic water bowl upon request! Overall a 10/10 experience read more

Sleek modern design at this trendy Astoria hang out. I went here when I was waiting to meet a friend and I thought the atmosphere was very nice, it was chilled with friendly staff and some cool '80's tunes playing. I can't comment on the food, but from what I saw it is pretty much your standard bar type of food with a Greek accent added to it. My Frapeé Cafeé was delicious but the froth to coffee ratio was on the high side - I sent a photo to Greek friends in the UK who agreed with me lol. Prices are a little on the high side for a neighbourhood place in Queens but overall it was a good experience. read more
