Restaurants près de Ditmars Park

Lovely old fashioned fine woods dining room in residential Astoria. Greeted warmly when entering , shown to our table ensuring we were seated comfortably, and promptly being attended by a charming young waitress. She brought a paper menu to make our choices easier for us than using the iPad menu. She explained our choices and expedited our water and cocktails and wonderful warm bread with delicious , smooth fragrant olive spread. The shrimp Cocktail had large succulent and slightly sweet crisp shrimp. The porterhouse steak was cooked perfectly and did not need a knife it was so tender and juicy. The creamed spinach was superlative - fresh chiffonade spinach perfectly dressed in a heavenly light cream and dressed with crisp onions. The mashed potatoes were unblemished off white , creamy and light and whipped smooth. The grilled asparagus seemed picked from Eden and lightly charred to crisp tender. The meal was capped off by a perfect creme brûlée and smooth velvety coffee. I can’t wait to go back. All the while our waitress ensured staff discreetly cleaned off table and switched our plates and utensils and refilled water. Thank you for a perfect evening as we celebrated a special friend’s birthday.

The bone marrow though delicious was just a bone. Barely contained half a teaspoon of marrow.

Friendly staff, great food. I’ve been here a few times with family and friends. We love it. Nice sized portions.

Nice neighborhood place with great food choices served by a pleasant staff.
