Had a fantastic chill time at Dakota's garten. They have a separate menu for the garten area, with…read moreservice starting at 4pm. Orders can be made right at the picnic tables with your phone. My order was ready shortly after I placed it, and I appreciated how easy and quick the whole thing was. I was VERY pleased with my smash burger and truffle fries. I especially enjoyed the surprise tartar sauce on the burger. I'm usually a sauce on the side kinda girl, and never have had tartar sauce on a beef burger. 10/10 recommend. However, I do also suggest noting the sauce on the menu so that there are no surprises for picky customers. Truffle fries were cooked to perfection. My table also ordered a lobster roll and wings. Everything received high marks. It was a lovely late summer hang and I would visit again!

Fiorentina first popped up on my Yelp radar 3 yrs ago, back when I was still teaching in Throggs…read moreNeck and came with my teacher friends when we all worked in the area. My first thought back then was: Throggs Neck is trying to bring the FANCY back! Throggs Neck used to have some of THE most exclusive Italian restaurants on the strip. White tablecloths, fine dining, service, etc- you know...that old-school, "we're going OUT to dinner" energy. And over the years, a lot of those places disappeared. Fiorentina was determined to pick up where they left off. I'll confess something- I used to be one of those people who said, "I'm not eating at an Italian restaurant if Italians don't own it." Consider me corrected. Because these folks have been bringing their A-game STRONG. My first visit back in '23, my teacher friends and I kept things light. Food was good and atmosphere was nice- but the cocktails were weak. I can't speak on their current strength situation, so proceed carefully or just order wine.Fast-forward to visit #2 in September '26. I suggested Fiorentina for a family lunch after my daughter spent the weekend with her grandma, especially because Fiorentina is now offering a $25 prix-fixe lunch with salad+entrée+coffee or tea OR a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Plus, happy hour drinks EVERY DAY. Say less. We pulled up on a Saturday afternoon. Fiorentina is elegant. White tablecloths, elegant setting, servers who actually understand 'service'. I mean...everyone was attentive and accommodating without hovering over us every five seconds. And then came that bread basket. Chile. That bread with the honey butter deserves its own Yelp review. They say there's green apple in the butter- I didn't taste any- but I didn't care- because that slightly sweet butter was EVERYTHING. Then the food started landing. My daughter had penne with shrimp. I had linguine with clams that was garlicky. Two of my sisters and my mom went for the burgers, while my twin had a salad. We enjoyed ourselves so much that my daughter and I couldn't even finish everything and headed out with leftovers- which is never a problem for me. Service- excellent, The food is on point and the vibe- is exactly what Throggs Neck needs. Bring back the fancy. Bring back the white tablecloths. Bring back getting dressed and actually feeling like you're going out to dinner (or lunch). Fiorentina did exactly that. This second time around was all that and a bag of chips.

Fiorentina Steakhouse has quickly become a staple. It didn't take long because the concept felt…read morefresh and unique for the area. I love being able to recommend a steakhouse that dry ages its own meats right here in the neighborhood. Yesterday, we were a bit pressed for time, so we ordered the lamb chops, skirt steak, and, of course, a nice bottle of wine. Everything was fantastic. The lamb chops were phenomenal, easily among the best I've had at any restaurant. They were incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. I'm usually not someone who enjoys eating the fat on meat, but the fat on these chops was rendered so beautifully that I found myself eating every bite. There wasn't a single chewy or unpleasant piece. I normally order the porterhouse or ribeye, but the skirt steak was an excellent choice when I wanted something leaner and quicker to enjoy without sacrificing flavor. The fried potato salad is another standout. It's a unique side that's absolutely worth ordering. And then there's the peppercorn sauce served with the lamb chops. It's a total mic drop. I honestly can't put into words how good it is. I found myself dipping everything in it (even my fingers ). It's that delicious! Fiorentina continues to impress every time we visit, and it's become one of my favorite places to recommend for a great steak dinner.

One more plus, street parking is easy to find nearby.

We continued frequenting this spot even after new ownership as the location is ideal for the area. We've all had so many cool memories here. Hanging with friends and family, NFL Football Sunday's, St. Patrick's Day after parties. Summer Weekend Afternoon Live Music. Unfortunately Covid put a kibosh on most things and calmed the activities down somewhat. Despite the calmed down atmosphere this spot is still one of our go-to's for the occasional drink. As for the food itself, it always seemed basic and not on par with food options from back in the day. It's apparent that improvements on food are trying to be made, so good luck to them on improving. As for the staff, never any issues there, they've always been on point. Some are longtime employees, so you get to know them over the years. Despite some things here and there we are glad that you remain an ol' faithful in our Neck of the woods. 3.5

A host sat our group of three down and was very accommodating. It took a little while for them to take our drink orders, but it seemed like they were overwhelmed so it was understandable. The spicy margaritas were solid, but the lychee martini and raspberry lemon drop were not the best. We also wanted to order food and were told it would be about an hour wait. If I'm drinking, I definitely want to eat, so I asked if there was anything that could come out quicker for us to munch on. About halfway through the wait it seemed like they didn't have guac and chips, so they brought bread and butter out to a few tables. I guess that was their way of giving people something to snack on while waiting. Right before our dishes came out, one of the waitresses had us pay for what we ordered with her (a couple of waitresses were helping us). I thought that was a little tacky, she could've waited until we were done or combined the tabs since we were at the same table the whole time, not sure if that was possible. Anyways, the food was decent. We had the chicken tacos, nachos, and chicken chunks. I will say they play good music and had all the games people wanted to watch on. It seems like they need to work on being a little more organized and staying calm under pressure, but they have potential.

Happy Hour! Went on…read morea Wednesday evening for HH. the restaurant was empty upon arrival. We had our choice of seating.... So we made our way towards the back tables across from the bar. Our waitress which was also our bartender was very nice. For starters we had 2 orders of their happy hour wings. Happy hour wings come with 4 pieces. 1 order of buffalo and an order of sweet chili. Both were crispy and very tasty. We also had raspberry lemon drops which were presented beautifully. Well balanced, not too strong or sweet. The pineapple margarita was too sweet for me. We moved on the nachos w/ beef and a Beyond Burger for our entrees. Both were ok... once we received our check we noticed we weren't charged for a Beyond Burger but a Cheeseburger. That is a very dangerous mistake.... Luckily my BF prefers veggie patties and doesn't have any type of allergy, intolerance or religious reasoning behind it. Not sure how that was misconstrued but that mistake leads down a very slippery slope for people with any type of allergies & intolerance.

I made a point to return the next day. The entire set up situation is a bit strange, eventually I placed my order at the bar inside the Red Parrot. I'm guessing it sort of a pop up/ghost kitchen. Order the St. Louis ribs w/ French fries for $23. Received 3 Ribs and not terrible small order of fries. Order the Brisket w/ Cole slaw for $24. Received 5 pieces of meat. Half was fat, to be fair some pieces were leaner but some were also 2/3 fat. The cole slaw looked at tasted store bought. Order the Pulled Pork and with Bbq beans for $20. The pull pork look uninspired but it pulled pork. The beans I would have said was from a can. There was no attempt to doctor them. All orders came with corn bread that was pretty dry. Order the frickles which is the fried pickle spears for $9. I think I got 4 spears so 1 dill pickle. The food was ok. I did not think I got a good value for the amount I spent. I doubt I would go back.
