Best Restaurants for Groups in Astoria

One of the best experiences I’ve had in New York. Had to book pretty early in advance due to the Valentines Day weekend rush, but got a lovely early afternoon spot. The atmosphere was so elegant & classy. Our waitress Mary Alice was so kind, accommodating, and overall such a pleasure to interact with. Yes it is pricey, but the experience and the quality of the food/tea was well worth it.

My friend and I had a wonderful time. We did the girl dinner and overall the food and the drinks were just amazing, as well as the music.

I picked this restaurant by looking at online reviews. I could not have made a better choice. Our reservation was on time. We walked in, sat down and were immediately greeted by our server. Emily was her name. She was without a doubt, one of the best servers I have ever had the pleasure of working with she treated my wife and me as if we were her only customer and we were the most important people in the restaurant. It was truly a special occasion for us. The food was everything that she had said it would be and everything that I read online. It was fabulous. We took her suggestions for some of the dishes we got and every suggestion she made was fantastic. I will go back to Carmines anytime I’m in New York City.

Went to 2 of my good friends' birthday. The service was great! The vibes were on point! The food was delicious! And the queens as always were amazing!! 10/10 would come again!

Lovely birthday dinner with my friends. Service was very attentive and quick. The new back room is very cozy and we were able to linger and not rush. We all enjoyed our meals - the branzino wrapped in parchment was delicious! Only complaint - turn on the heat. The back room is great but it was cold. It’s the winter so turn on and turn up the heat!
