MIKAIL SANKOFA Probably the best meal I’ve treated myself to all year! Started with a dozen Totten Inlet Oysters from the West Coast then steak Tar Tar, Skirt steak, pecan tart and ice cream and a Capachino. 10/10

Siobhan Matthews I don’t give 5 stars on all very often but this place deserves it! Our server was Anthony (hard to forget since in the name of the restaurant) he was able to give us options on what wine pairs well with our dinner selection. He was there when needed and perfect etiquette when clearing the table or serving our wine. The atmosphere was quaint and we felt relaxed. Now for the food… what flavor!! We did not see the Chef but we did want to complement him on freshness of the food and original flavors to the area. We ordered an appetizer, dinner and dessert because we wanted to keep going!! We had duck egg roll to start with and it had a sauce with it that was lightly sweetened to balance the flavors. I can go on and on but honestly if you are looking for a gourmet meal close to home check this place out! For the quality of the food the price matched up. Hidden Gem, so glad we found this place we will be back!

Eugene Jung So about that dinner…if you didn’t know, parts of Astoria are known for amazing Greek food (ask my friends Sarah & Darin) so it was a short drive from Yankee Stadium to Amylos…one of my client’s hotel was out this way and he had an early flight the next day so those were the deciding factors to eat out this way…it wasn’t Manhattan, which was a nice break from the hustle and bustle…it was auuuuuuuthentic! From pit Greek server to all the amazing dishes (that octopus was as soft as a stick of room temp butter) it was an amazing meal…if you find yourself in the area, they are definitely worth a try!

Maressa MS I absolutely love this place! The staff are always so friendly and attentive — they make me feel right at home. Every dish I’ve tried is delicious. Definitely my favorite spot in Long Island!

Jennifer Davis This is a very clean, elegant, inviting establishment. The staff was friendly and our waitress, Paige was on the ball. We had no complaints at all. Absolutely delicious! We had a wedge salad with blue cheese, bacon pieces and Caesar salad and both were great. For our main dinner dishes we had chicken Florentine and it was cooked to perfection! The chicken was lightly breaded and the sauce was delicious as well. My husband had a strip steak and garlic mashed potatoes. He had his steak cooked medium and he said it was done perfectly also. We had dinner here for our 22nd anniversary and were so pleased that it was delicious! We will definitely be back!
