    White Bean Soup
    Mike S.

    Perhaps the thing I appreciate most about Petra Rickman, the owner of Bun & Bone, is her drive to take chances and bring stylish, interesting dining to NYC. She has brought us Taco Azul, Ginger and Lemongrass (the Whitestone location was formerly here; now only the downtown Manhattan location remains), and the short-lived Langos Bar - one of her rare misses. Arguably, she has been responsible for making Whitestone a true dining destination. My friends and I visited on Sunday and ordered a variety of dishes to share, which was a great way to sample the new menu. Here is the rundown: Pate: Extremely rich with a solid layer of bone marrow butter. The portion was sizeable, perhaps a bit too much for the two slices of bread provided. Chargrilled Oysters: I was looking forward to these, but they didn't quite hit the mark. I felt the chili, maple butter, bacon rendering, and cheese obliterated rather than complemented the oyster flavor. I'd like to see this tweaked to find a balance that highlights the oyster and captures more of that "char." Moules Frites: A tasty pot of mussels. I need to order these again to give them a fair shake; there were so many strong flavors on the table that I don't think I fully appreciated them this time. Smoked White Bean Soup: A rich, filling soup with a wonderful smoky essence and large chunks of smoked pork rib. French Dip Burger: I expected this to be my favorite, but I actually enjoyed the mushroom burger more. That said, the beef onion broth was very good. Very Mushroom Burger: I am a huge fan of mushrooms on a burger because it amps up the meaty flavor so well. This was a great version. Smoky & Spicy Burger: This had a refreshing tanginess that cut through the richness of the beef perfectly. Shoestring Fries: These came with all the burgers and the mussels. They were the pinnacle of "McDonald's style" fries, which, to me, is the highest form of praise. Smoked Pork Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender, smoky, and delicious. We almost didn't order these because we feared it would be too much food, but I'm so happy we did. They were fantastic. The decor is a slightly tweaked version of the Ginger and Lemongrass aesthetic, though the layout remains the same. Service was very good, especially considering they are still in their soft opening period (I always consider the first month a "breaking-in" period). Thank you, Petra, for bringing this delicious change of pace north of the LIE in Queens. It is a spot I see myself frequenting (much to my doctor's dismay). Nearly every dish features decadent, tasty ingredients. I can't wait to try more!

    I was sad about ginger and lemongrass closing, but this spot made me forget all about them. The vibe is very similar on the inside as they kept some of the original decor pieces and fixtures. We came close to 3pm on the weekend and there were surprisingly a lot of people coming in and out. Since the restaurant is called bun and bone, of course we had to try one of each. We ordered a mushroom burger and the short rib. Both dishes were spectacular. The mushroom burger had a wagyu patty, which was excellent quality. The flavor was really good and of course the truffle fries were a perfect complement. The short rib was very tender and had a delicious sauce. I also loved the texture and creaminess of the mashed potatoes underneath. Given the quality and taste of everything, it was totally worth the price. My only complaint was the service. It was difficult to get any of the waiters' attention. Our watering was not refilled during our meal.

    Has any one tried Bun and Bone yet, if so how is it?

    Was there recently, best burger I have had in a long time. My daughter had an appetizer she loved. Service was excellent, place was clean. Have been back again and it was just as good the second time.… Read more

    Dakota's on the Cove has been in my periphery for a while. Up until today, I had not been here…read moresince the space was its former occupant, Ice House. While I had heard mixed things about Dakota's, I wanted to check it out for myself. I had been meaning to catch up with some of my IRL Yelp friends, and thought this would be a great place to meet up - so off we went. Dakota's is located right on the water in Throgg's Neck and provides great views of the marina. The dining area is separated into a front room, bar area, back room, outdoor patio, and a biergarten area. The decor and aesthetics have a nautical vibe - think blues, greys, and whites with lots of clean lines. One of my friends told me that the menu is relatively new, as they got a new chef ~ 2 weeks ago. The menu isn't large, in fact it's somewhat limited in my view; there are a few apps, mains, and sides - but I would like to have seen an expanded salad selection (there are only two on the menu) and a sandwich section, especially given the aesthetics and the fact that they're open for lunch. We decided to start by sharing some apps and one of their salads: the tuna tartare, the mussels, and the specific salad name escapes me but it had feta whip. Everything was very good - the tuna was fresh and came with some thin crostini that provided a welcome contrast in texture. The salad was flavorful, but the portion was small for the price and the combination of feta whip with the dressing made it a little too wet. The mussels were great - we chose to have them prepared in a white wine sauce which was super flavorful. It came with two pieces of focaccia which were good albeit slightly stale; crostini would have been better. For mains, we split two: the fish and chips and the linguine with clam sauce. The former was pretty good - two generous pieces of fish, but it could have used more fries; the apple slaw it was served with cut through the heaviness of the dish well. The linguini was also good, however it's hard for me to justify a pasta dish being over $30 - especially in this case where there were relatively few clams and the portion was not big. We also ordered a side of broccoli rabe which was good - though the addition of some garlic bulbs/slices would have elevated it. For desert we split the lemon gelée abd biscoff cheesecake. I wasn't a fan of the former, it had a tough-ish consistency and lacked flavor; the cheesecake was better. Service was excellent; we made conversation with several members of staff while we were there - including the owner. They are really putting an effort in to make this place great and I saw it in all aspects of my experience. Overall, I had a great time at Dakota's; I think they still need to fine-tune their menu, especially in relation to portion sizes and prices. However, if this is an improvement from where they were, then they're taking a step in the right direction.

First, I highly recommend reservations, especially for peak times. The restaurant was packed on a Friday evening around 7pm and thankfully, the host squeezed us in but it took some time for her to figure out if she could even accommodate us. For a beautiful atmosphere, celebration or special occasion, this restaurant is a great choice. If you're only going for the food, I don't think it's worth it. Italian food is delicious but I believe there are better restaurants elsewhere. However, the food will satisfy you and you won't leave hungry. The portions are enormous so you're definitely getting value. We were disappointed in the truffle fries, which were soggy and I think breaded, which is unusual. The Caesar salad was delicious, as was the pizza. Otherwise, the food was average. Again, if you're celebrating something special, I think this restaurant would be great. The two seater table at the end of the dock would be absolutely amazing for a proposal or intimate dinner for two.
