East Elmhurst Restaurants

Burger was delicious. Crab cake is full of fresh crab, but could use a little more of the sauce. The slaw served with it is very good too. However, I think the crab cake the boathouse used to have was better. Appreciated the complimentary plate of veggies to start. Offering some bread would be nice too.

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.

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

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Delicious sushi with some Thai influences. Intimate setting. The chefs prepare the meal in front of you, they have a great sense of humor. They refill your sake continuously through the night. They are so welcoming and so clearly enjoy what they do! You leave feeling full but not uncomfortably so. It is a great value.

Great environment ! The food was great The drinks were really good
