It was very light and delicious. Loved chef's passion for making the duck in front of us. The sauce was definitely the most expensive part made from duck jus. Duck with the sauce tasted very fragrant and full of flavor. Hard to decribe how good it was but it was heavenly. Highly recommend to anyone who likes french cuisine.

Both my husband's and friend's hanger steak was very chewy!!! A restaurant of this quality should definitely serve a better cut of beef!!! We really looked forward to this dinner having read about the chef but were very disappointed with the entrees! The kale salad and celery root latkes were good as were the desserts. Too bad as Forest Hills is really lacking in fine dining restaurants !!!

This was my second time dining here, and I thoroughly enjoyed it once again…read more After enjoying a delicious meal paired with a fantastic all-jazz performance, I'm already looking forward to coming back. I ordered the short ribs and the five-onion soup again, and both were excellent. The service was spot-on and impressively quick--my food arrived in under 15 minutes. The owner is also really cool; he personally greets guests and makes a point of chatting with the performers to ensure they're comfortable. This is a wonderfully romantic spot. The beautiful flowers add such a nice touch (as I mentioned in my previous review). While it's not fully upscale, it has an elevated, sophisticated vibe that makes you want to dress up for the occasion. Highly recommended!

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

I brought my super obese cousin in here, dude dried up my wallet within seconds. Nathan's hot dogs are nothing really special. You can just get them at a supermarket for a lower cost and cook it yourself and it'll taste exactly the same. I got some fries which I didn't like very much. It was soggy wavy fries, almost like the ones they have at White Castle. I just like the fact that there's a Nathan's in my area. I like the old style lighting they have outside. The only Nathan spots I know is just this one and the one in Coney Island. There use to be one on Grand Ave in Maspeth and another one in Metro Mall but I believe they both closed down years ago.

We were asked if we wanted the works on the ice cream which consisted of chocolate syrup, walnuts, whipped cream, sprinkles, cherries and bananas.

I guess Atlantic Diner isn't the place to go to when you're craving a banana split!

Cobblestones is an absolute treasure in the Kew Gardens/Forest Hills area and should be treated as such. I came here years ago back when Solid State Band used to play here regularly, so it had been a minute since my last visit (nearly 15 years). A friend of mine was on jury duty at the courthouse and I agreed to meet her here for Happy Hour before the Knicks game. What an amazing job they have done to put together a beer garden that perfectly blends the feel of an urban landscape and the charm of Bavaria. The picnic style tables might be small and closely packed together, but from the moment I walked in, I felt transported to another part of the world. Excellent specials during happy hour which runs 3-7 Monday to Friday - all drafts $7 for a half liter (that's 16.9 ounces for the non-metric folk) and their selections are perfectly acceptable for a beer garden. I recommend the Reissdorf Kolsch, the Radeberger Pilsner, and the Schofferhoffer (a grapefruit low-alcohol beer perfect for summer). They also offer several wines for $7 during HH, and half priced wings (they are very clear that it is for dine-in only so you cannot take your leftovers). Cobblestones also has 1-liter beer options as I saw a few people walking around with giant glass boots filled with beer, and lots of people were ordering food. We simply opted for waffle fries and they were hot, seasoned, and came in a decent sized portion. The staff here were the true highlight of the experience. Although our server did not tell us her name at any point, she was attentive, suggestive in salesmanship, always around, friendly, and fast. Lots of worker-bee types here ensuring the guests are well cared for - diverse and smiling, just the way Queens should be. By 6PM there was a line out the door to get a table for the Knicks/Spurs finals game, so this seems to be a popular place to watch events with friends - I recommend getting your table two hours in advance of whatever you plan to watch here! There are plenty of large screens outside in the beer garden (half of the tables are covered with an awning). Many guests brought their board games and playing cards, and I saw a giant wheel at the end of the bar, which means I will be coming back to experience whatever Spin-The-Wheel chaos they provide at Cobblestones. I'm already planning a return visit with friends, you should do the same. Their food menu looks good, the staff is amazing, the vibes are top notch. Well done, Cobblestones!

The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The owners, Rebecca and Yvan, and their team were so helpful and accommodating from start to finish. It can be hard to choose the perfect wedding venue and at first, we weren't sure what to expect. But after our tour, we knew this was the place for us. The outdoor patio area was intimate, warm, and beautiful! We rented space heaters in case, but we didn't end up needing a tent - though My Kitchen can rent a tent if needed. We had the reception outside, with string lights hanging above. It created such a magical atmosphere as the sun set, and the lights added the perfect touch. We had about 40 guests and there was definitely enough space for all of us. Even though parking was limited, guests were able to easily find street parking in the surrounding residential area even on a Saturday night. Overall, we highly recommend this venue - beautiful space, exceptional professionals, and amazing service!
