Bday Tings! Kicking…read moreoff my bday celebrations here on a Thursday which is Ladies Night. 10 out of 10!!!! The service, the food, the drinks & the vibes. Happy Hour is until 8pm. Half off select cocktails and appetizers. $7 margaritas, martinis and mojitos all night for Ladies Night. My friends and I had Churrasco skewers, truffle waffle fries, chicken quesadillas, Churrasco quesadillas, loaded waffle fries with shrimp and sweet chili wings. Everything was good! Nothing salty, mushy or lacking flavor. Hookah is $40, cash only and $25 for a refill. The hookah was smooth and long lasting. We really had a great time here. I'll definitely be back over the summer!

We stopped into Tavern157 right when they opened at 4 on a Friday. Place was quiet, just two staff…read moreon. We asked about happy hour since Instagram said they had it, but turns out it's not a thing anymore. They owned the miscommunication and took care of us, offering $8 wine, discounts on a couple appetizers, and even a complimentary extra glass of wine to make it up. We ordered a few things off the tapas menu. The popcorn chicken, the octopus, uni and foie gras, short ribs, and beef tacos. The short ribs leaned a bit dry, but everything else was on point. Standout by far was the uni and foie gras. A little pricey for 4 pieces but very delicious. Big shoutout to the 2 staff on site, very friendly, warm and responsive throughout. I would recommend Tavern 157 if you're in the area looking for something casual with good drinks and food and not in the mood for Korean food. Just double-check happy hour before you go, as they mentioned a new one may be coming. Overall, a really enjoyable first visit.

The food was not bad, but would not say it lives up to the prices. We got a squid ink pasta which…read moreis not pictured, but it contained sea urchin that did not taste fresh at all. But, the oysters tasted pretty fresh with little to no sea water taste. The interior of this restaurant is unique and interesting with nice ambiance. The service was good at first until we asked for the bill and a 20% gratuity fee was applied which is for a party of 6 or more (as stated in the menu), but we only had 5 people. When we asked the waitress about this, she said that the statement in the menu isn't updated, and that they charge this fee on weekends because it's busier (not stated in the menu). Mind you the restaurant was completely empty when we walked in at 8pm. However, the waitress did ended up refunding us the difference for the tip.

We were looking for a place to sit and grab a cool drink after a long stroll along Rockaway Beach…read more The small, mostly wood wine bar is cozy, plays an interesting mix of Caribbean and blue grass, and offers a small, but solid wine list. I had a cremant de Loire and wife a New Zeland Sauvignon Blanc. A party took up the back yard, so snagged on of the 5 tables a gross from the 8 seat bar. The proprietress (I guess) took my Oder at the bar and brought bottles out to pour at the table. Casual and fun. We'll be back. (Took me 29 years to visit Rockaway, but....) menu is small, looks good, but we didn't partake. Just right for what we needed.

Located on the corner of Rockaway Beach Blvd, this quaint wine bar offers tranquility (at least when I visited) and a cozy atmosphere. Upon both visits, I chose to sit in their charming, pebbled ground backyard patio. It resembled something residential--very cute. Though we only made a quick pit stop to enjoy an ice cold Bud Light on a hot summer day, it was time well spent. They serve a variety of drinks with a smile. FYI, don't know if they serve food or bites. Adorable spot whether you're on the way to/from the beach.

Came here with the family for a very untraditional Easter dinner…read more The place has a cool decor with the front half for the Chinese food and the back half for the Hibachi. We went with the Chinese. I started with a Pina Colada a drink I only get in Chinese Restaurants for some reason. It was good. A bit Pineapple heavy. We then ordered a bunch of dishes to split as there was 7 of us. We got Boneless Spareribs which were really good. Smaller than normal and very tender with a great sweet glaze. Mussels with Black Bean Sauce which was my favorite dish. Giant but still tender mussels in an outstanding black bean sauce. One of the best black bean sauces Ive had in a long time. Grand Marnier Shrimp which were god but not as good as the long lamented China Chalet in Lower Manhatttan version. Still solid and a dish you dont see much anymore so everyone was happy. General Tsos Chicken was very good. Not much spice but the chicken was very high quality,not spongy at all. Tangerine Beef was another solid entree. Beef was coated in a light breading and sauce was good if a bit sweet. Roast Pork Fried Rice very good quality. Not that cheap yellow style. Staff was very friendly and efficient. The people having Hibachi were having a great time. All and all a very nice change of pace from the usual Italian food which we normally get on Easter.

The food was packed with so much delicately and passion, the food presentation and taste was amazing with very authentic flavor all while being cooked perfectly. I can't wait to try the hibachi; As every dish was well-seasoned, hot, and served in generous portions. I ordered to go but still my order got home warm and ready to enjoy. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively, and the staff made sure we had an amazing time. While we were waiting for our order we even ordered some drinks that by the way were excellent such as the blue Hawaii which was divine, and even talked with the manager who just such a nice and welcoming lady. If you're looking for excellent food amazing drinks a place to have fun with friends or families delicious hibachi experience, Danny's is definitely the spot! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The service was good "quick" as usual. We were met as we entered the restaurant by a female service however she had a mouth full of food. We ordered the Braised Short Rib and the Chicken Tagine. We received our food within just a few minutes no more than 7-10 minutes. Although there was steam coming off of the couscous the chicken was ice cold. It was obvious that my food had been simply thrown into a microwave. The couscous although hot it was overcooked and mushy. The chicken was warm on the bottom but extremely cold as I cut into it. The Short Rib dish had the same problem. The pasta was steamy hot but the rib was cold. I really don't have a problem eating cold beef, but I can't eat cold chicken. I would have sent my dish back however it was obvious that they weren't going to make a new dish I felt they would have just nuked it longer. If I wanted nuked food I could have picked up a frozen dinner at the grocery store. Go for the wine, not the food.
