Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Rego Park

Had a great time at Prime. The food was outstanding, as were the drinks. The service was on point and our waiter was attentive to our needs. Will definitely be returning here in the near future.

Surprised my Husband for his birthday. Hostess greeted my Husband with a Happy Birthday, and we were seated immediately. Service was great. There were no long waits for our food. The grilled bacon and shrimp scampi appetizers are a MUST try as well as their Breakfast Whisky cocktail. Will definitely dine there again in the near future.

The service was almost the worst service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. The waitress stood in front of us, just staring, looking at other people talking on her phone texting on her phone. It was almost impossible to get anything we needed however, the food was well worth a return visit.

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.

Food is 5 star. Service is 5 stars. Everything is appropriate for a 5 star rating … except… one thing…. When I bring a special bottle of wine in for my birthday… don’t charge me $45 for a corking fee! $10 is standard. $25 is upper tier… $45 is stupid. Seriously that’s my only complaint. I go to Christos because it is superb quality. I am fine with paying more for high quality. But $45 for a corking fee… not reasonable.
