I finally visited a sister restaurant of Luigi's located across the street from the Floral Park…read moreTrain Station. The ambiance appears to be bigger than Luigi's and it's always busy/packed. Reservations are highly recommended. A lot of my mom friends rave about this place and I got to dine here twice with them, once for brunch and the other for dinner. The first time I came here was with my child for brunch. I got a mocktail and we ordered chicken and waffles along the unadvertised kids menu containing chicken fingers and fries. Portions for both dishes were generous and took home the leftovers. We also shared the Brussels sprouts and the infamois complimentary bread, which were really good. The second and most recent time we went was for dinner with the a huge group of moms. We shared the Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts, and general two's cauliflower, which was amazing. I had the red sangria and a taste of the Huckleberry lemonade, drinks were strong. For the entrees I ordered the salmon and once again portion was huge, took it home and the hubby ate the leftovers. Other moms ordered the frose, spicy paloma, le poulet and spicy Rigatoni. At the end we had key lime pie which tasted great but I was too full to finish it. I'll be coming to this spot more often because of great company and food!

Last Tuesday was my very first visit to this restaurant…read more You know when you see marketing campaigns on social media for restaurants you always wonder if the restaurant will live up to the hype of the marketing people. This one is every ounce of what they market online. The food is amazing. The staff is amazing. Inside is amazing. There's even plenty of parking near the local train station. The marketing team did an outstanding job representing this restaurant. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Passed by this place a couple of years ago and made a mental note to stop in and give them a try…read more Well, that try finally came yesterday. Very clean establishment. Service was efficient and attentive without being intrusive. For drinks, had a nice bottle of Portuguese dry red wine ($25) and my better half had a Cosmo ($15), which she found on the sweet side. Prior to out appetizers, a small basket of warm bread was brought to the table. For appetizers we shared the shrimp in garlic sauce ($16) and the grilled squid, also in garlic sauce ($16). We even tried their homemade hot sauce. All good stuff. For the mains, I had the T-Bone Steak (medium rare) ($35) and my better half had the lamb shank ($24). Both were hearty portions and very good. Finished off by sharing the Tres Leches cake ($8) and a decaf cappuccino ($8). Delicious. We left stuffed. Hope to be back sooner than a couple of years......

I visited Matteo's on 4/28/26, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience…read more From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but inside there's a full bar and a more formal dining area. My sister and I started with a chicken soup, which was actually really good and one of the highlights of the meal. For our appetizer, we ordered the grilled octopus. It came cut up in an olive oil-style sauce, which is different from how I'm used to having it served. It wasn't a favorite. For the entrée, we ordered a mixed meat platter (steak, pork, chicken, lamb, Portuguese sausage) with mashed potatoes and spinach. The food was very hit or miss. The lamb, chicken, and pork were good, but the steak was tough and chewy. The mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box, and overall the food lacked seasoning--I had to add salt and pepper just to bring out flavor. My sister did enjoy her Hennessy sidecar. I will say, the bartender was nice, which I appreciated. The biggest issue was cleanliness. The bathroom in the bar area smelled very musty, it had a urinal, toilet and a dead water bug next to the toilet, which was extremely off-putting because it is next to the kitchen. I reported it immediately. The second bathroom in the dining area was cleaner but clearly outdated. Even with an "A" grade posted, that experience raised serious concerns. To make matters worse, on the way home I developed stomach pain, heartburn, and I had an allergic reaction--I had to take both antacids and Benadryl. After that, we ended up throwing the food away--what a complete waste of money. To be honest, nothing was taken off the bill despite reporting the issue. Another thing to note: they charge more if you use a credit card and less if you pay cash, and this was not clearly disclosed or posted anywhere that I could see. Overall, this was not a good experience. Between the lackluster food, cleanliness concerns, how I felt afterward, unexpected charges, and lack of accountability, I will not be returning. No Bueno!

Poor service, unavailable, menu items and mediocre food…read more The chicken noodle soup came out room temperature and in our opinion did not taste good. It had a heavy lemon taste. I ordered chicken and waffles from the brunch menu which was supposed to come with chicken breast but the server placed the order from main menu, which instead offered wings. The cook came from the kitchen with a very unfriendly demeanor to let me know that she already dropped the chicken and pretty much implied that I would be getting the wings as she already started cooking them. I informed her I will take the wings. However, I still ended up getting the chicken breast tenders. The server offered to make one of the guests, a custom drink, and it was very heavy with rum and was not mixed well as the drink separated shortly after receiving it. All guests ordered a meal from the brunch menu along with a glass of ginger ale. However, we were charged for the drinks, even though it was supposed to be unlimited with brunch. I did not catch that until I got home and realized the drinks were charged separately. (yes we were within the 90 minute limit.) Additionally, only three out of the four ginger ale's came out. She took so long to bring the last one that the guest just declined it as we were almost finished eating. One of the guests ordered French toast with sausage but received bacon instead she also ordered the macaroni and cheese with bacon at the same time and the server did not bring it out. She had to be reminded and he came out very late. The macaroni and cheese was not good. It had the appearance of being cooked in a rush. There were big pieces of bacon in it versus the typical smaller bits the cheese was very dry One of the guest ordered the snapper, but the server returned a few minutes later to inform us that they are out of snapper. Be aware that gratuity was automatically included for a party of four. That might explain the not so good service as there is no incentive to do better.

The fish had a nice crunch to it but soft as well .

This is definitely a good restaurant in queens,Hollis that is, I'm glad we have door dash so I can get my food delivered to me from the comfort of my own home. I definitely will have my wife order from this spot again.

I enjoy my food when I actually taste the food and not the salt so I loved it. Others complained not salty/seasoned enough but it was perfect to me. Chicken had the right amount of crunch and tenderness. The salmon was meaty (not fatty) and seasoned just right. I had the bbq salmon and it was delicioso! The Mac n cheese was a good blend of cheeses and 'cheesy' pull was excellent. Potato salad just right. The service was top notch despite the place being sold out and very busy!!

The food was flavorful and well-prepared, although some dishes leaned a bit salty for my taste. I ordered the sautéed shrimp and grits. The shrimp were delicious, but I wish the dish came with a larger portion of grits. The gravy was very generous and ended up making the dish a bit soupy, so a little more grits would have helped balance the dish. Other highlights from our table included the fried shrimp and waffles, yams, and mac and cheese, all of which were excellent. Another guest in my party ordered the BBQ salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is casual, comfortable, and inviting, making it a great spot for either a local brunch or a relaxed dinner. The service was attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. We were even greeted by the owner upon arrival, and his friendliness and hospitality immediately made us feel welcome and set a positive tone for the entire experience. Overall, this is a solid neighborhood restaurant with good food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I'd definitely return to try more items from the menu.
