I don't know, but I finally had the opportunity to dine here with our group from the Bayside Hills Civic Association. * Service 3 out of 5 = Service was a little slow, but we did have a group of 25. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. Just keep in mind that you may have to wait a little bit for the food to come out. I was told that the owner cooks everything by herself so in that regard you know it's prepared with lots of love. * Decor 3 out of 5 = Average interior appointments. You won't be wowed away with the interior design or the silverware. * Food 4 out of 5 = we had the following : - Bread drizzled with olive oil. Nothing fancy, I know it's complimentary, but I would have preferred they gave us the olive oil with some salt and pepper so we can season our own bread. - Calamari- Lightly breaded, not too greasy with a crunchy exterior and contrasting soft interior. The marinara sauce was ok. - Caprese salad - The freshness of the tomatoes paired with creamy mozzarella and aromatic basil created a harmonious blend of flavors. I was disappointed that there was no drizzle of balsamic glaze. - Penne ala vodka - Perfectly cooked al dente and the best part of the pasta, it came out piping hot! The penne perfectly absorbed the rich and velvety vodka-infused tomato cream sauce. - Pollo francese - The tender chicken cutlets were coated in a light, lemony egg batter. The lemon butter sauce was a perfect complement, providing a zesty and velvety finish to each bite with a wonderful balance of savory and citrusy notes - Cannoli cream cake - Delicious and moist and i was told by the server all the desserts are homemade. A nice way to end dinner with a slice of cake paired with a cup of cappuccino, perfect. ******Overall restaurant score 4 out of 5****** This corner restaurant is a hidden gem. It's small and exudes a sweet charm, making it an ideal spot for a cozy meal. The portion sizes are smaller when compared to other restaurants and there are areas that can be improved on, like presentation and plating. It's the little details that should never be overlooked. NOTE: No private parking lot. Plenty of street parking and outdoor patio opens up for dining when the weather warms up.

Susanne always responded quickly, answered our questions right away, and made everything feel easy and stress free. The venue was beautiful, with amazing skyline views, and the service was outstanding. One thing our guests especially appreciated was the variety of food options available. There were plenty of choices to accommodate different dietary needs and preferences, which made everyone feel included. The food was delicious. The chicken marsala, baby potatoes, broccoli rabe, and steak were all excellent and received many compliments from our guests. The drinks, atmosphere, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. We received so much positive feedback and many people commented that it was the best end of year event we have had. Thank you to Joe, Susanne, and the entire team for making it such a memorable celebration. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Short Summary: These people rack up in fees as your event gets closer…read more Would not recommend it at all.   The venue was beautiful and it was how I imagined my wedding was going to be. But the manager ruined my wedding experience, I had to cancel my event less than a month away with them because they were trying to add so many fees and were forcing me to hire their staff when I specifically told her that I was going to bring my waitresses... she still wanted me to pay 15% in tips even though I told her I did not want her staff. The owner is very greedy and even though we both agreed on a price for flowers, centerpieces, and decorations she decided to change her mind last minute. The manager told me to bring her a picture of how I wanted my centerpieces to look and they said they were going to make them. Yet when I arrived to show her how I want my centerpieces she said it was going to be more money, so I decided to cancel the flowers with her. I asked her if I could bring my own and decorate the lamps myself and she said: "no those are our lamps" even though I was renting out the entire venue from her if you want to decorate it will extra $1k. She then went on to say that if my bartender wanted to use the table in the venue it was going to be an extra fee. The manager never disclosed any of the extra fees for the flowers, for bringing my own stuff, and trying to decorate the lamps or even the bartender table. She decided to rack up the prices last minute because I didn't want to use the expensive services she wanted to charge me, even though it's not what we agreed on. I had previously read a comment regarding this issue but decided to try it anyway, but it's all true. They raise your hopes up and deceive you about how much it will actually cost. As the days go on they begin to increase prices on the things they originally promised on. I had put down a $2k deposit because I was so I love with the venue but I had to loose it because of the "additional fees" she wanted to charge me. She did mention to me that she was going to give me a credit for it but I told her I was never going back there. I had such a terrible experience and it was all ruined due to her seeing that she can take advance of me and my situation. My wedding being a month away I had to give up my venue because of them deciding to add fees on top of fees without any previous information. If she would have disclosed the EXTRA fees at the beginning when I originally booked the place then it would have been a different case. They completely took advantage of me and my family. I do not recommend anyone to book their wedding or event here.

The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the front desk team is not only welcoming but also happy to share the manor's rich history. I opted for the steak, which was delicious and perfectly portioned--small but satisfying. The ice cream was a delightful treat as well. At roughly $100 per person, the experience was well worth the price. The ambiance feels like stepping into a colonial backyard transformed into a charming golf course lobby.

TLDR: If you're looking for a quick meal, King Souvlaki has always scratched the itch. Souvlaki…read moresticks are good for a quick bite but usually we get a beef/lamb gyro platter or a pita sandwich - Greek fries if you have a friend to share. I've been going to King Souvlaki for many years. Nowadays you can also order on UberEats/DoorDash but for the best, just go in-person of course. The Greek Fries are great with olive oil and feta but it is a large portion. I believe you can now upgrade the platter fries so you can get to taste the flavor without it being over the top. Our go to order is the platter but you can never go wrong with a sandwich either. The rice is seasoned well and with the tzatziki sauce and small salad - it's always a good plate. They do also have chicken options but beef/lamb is the way to go in my opinion. The gyro is has great flavor but it's also not overly greasy like some places.

My only complaint was the tzatziki sauce. It was much thicker than expected and had a stronger tartness, rather than the creamy, smooth texture I was hoping for. That was a little disappointing, but overall, it was still a solid meal.
