Best Restaurants for Birthdays in East Elmhurst

Aunt Jake's Pasta Making Experience – A Must-Try! We had the absolute best time at Aunt Jake’s for their pasta-making experience! From start to finish, the night was a mix of laughter, learning, and of course, delicious food. Anthony, our instructor, was nothing short of amazing! His energy was contagious, and he made the whole process feel effortless. He had us kneading, rolling, and shaping dough like pros in no time. Anthony’s patience and passion for pasta truly set the tone for the evening. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or can barely boil water, he made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. He had this way of blending humor with technique, so while we were creating these perfect little pasta shapes, we were also cracking up at his stories and tips. When we finally got to taste the creations? Pure heaven. Fresh, flavorful, and made even better knowing we crafted it ourselves. If you're looking for a unique, hands-on experience that leaves you full and smiling, Aunt Jake's is the place to be. And if you’re lucky enough to have Anthony as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable evening. I’m already planning my next visit!

This was the absolute best place i have ever been. The staff was amazing. The food was delicious. The bathrooms were clean. The service was excellent. Everyone was so attentive to all of our needs. The manager really is doing a great job and doesn’t need to change anything.

You can feel the positive high energy the minute you walk in. Loved the way we were treated starting with the host at the door, very attentive, personal and all smiles. I think the high tables were the best sit in the house for a private time. The staff were all dressed up beautifully, the bar keepers were absolutely outstanding. Great drinks and food. We ordered a big sampler and was delicious. Sofia, our server was so beautiful and attentive. My husband and I had a great time and definitely we will go back next time we vist NYC. Great show applause, applause

This is the second time I’ve eaten at Blue Mezze. The $59 Thanksgiving special was a great deal for my friend and me! The appetizers are delicious; red lentil soup, Greek salad, and babaganoush. The turkey was unconventional for Thanksgiving. It was sort of mixed in with rice, but very tasty. The dessert of cold baklava is also unconventional, but delish! The special also included a glass of wine or beer. The menu may not appeal to everyone for Thanksgiving, but if you’re willing to try something a little different, it’s great value for the money. Service is friendly and efficient.

Without a doubt the best dining experience in NYC!
