Gracies Luncheonette - (Near Leeds, NY)

Alexandra Miceli Everything is on point here as to be expected, over the last 50 years. You don’t have to worry that anything will be less than top notch. Haven’t been to Lombardos in many years and since leaving Buffalo, I thought would be nice to celebrate here for a birthday dinner. Better than I even remember! Thank you Lombardo family and staff.

Dean C Sat at the counter and ordered the eggs Benedict with potatoes. Really good. A classic, done right. Service was genuinely warm and attentive. A place that gets the basics right and makes it feel easy to stay. I’d come back.

Martin A. Alvarado Casa Melania is located in an industrial area of Maspeth, Queens. It really is a hole in the wall, a hidden gem of Ecuadorian Cuisine. Although I did not hear any Ecuadorian music playing, the food that was served to our party of 2 adults, 2 teenagers, one child and one toddler needing a high chair, was surprisingly and exceedingly delicious. I had been to the Ecuadorian staple of El Tropical before, but this was a different experience. The food was fresh and the seasoning was just right. The server brought the food out in about 10-15 minutes. It was a Sunday afternoon that was not very busy. I was able to find street parking easily. The decor had some images of Ecuador and some memorabilia as well posted on walls. The food was very presentable. My only drawback was the 20% extra charge for the large party. I would definitely recommend and return to this location.

Christina Gómez This restaurant was a delight. Full of locals, the vibe was cozy and welcoming. The staff were kind and helpful - I am vegan, and while there is nothing listed on the menu, our waitress and the kitchen staff took care to offer a vegan dish, comprised of gluten free pasta (all other pastas contain egg), veggies, garlic, and olive oil. Simple but absolutely delicious. In fact, I knew it was going to be good based solely on the complimentary breadsticks, and the order of bruschetta that we enjoyed. Yes, its carb-heavy. But everything was so good, fresh, and clearly scratch-made. My husband ordered the shrimp scampi, which he noted was also delicious and authentic. The negronis we drank were perfect as well.

Grace R Great food and service! The atmosphere was nice, and the bread to start was amazing.

Bill Lozano A couple of friends have been here and recommended it to us. We met them for dinner in mid October. While they have outside tables it was way too cold to eat outdoors. We arrived 15 minutes early so decided to have a drink at the bar while waiting for our friends to arrive. My wife ordered a Espolon Blanco on the rocks with some limes and I ordered a Ranch Water. Once they arrived we moved from the bar to a table. While looking at the menu we ordered Guacamole. For dinner one friend and I had Taco Briera. My wife had Enchilada Trio with one cheese, one chicken, and vegetables. Our other friend had the combo poblano with pork. We also shared a picture of margarita with Espolon Tequila. Coyote Flaco is a cool little Mexican Restaurant with a great selection of tequila and delicious food.
