This place is a staple for my husband and I, and we're always taking people here. Love the ambiance, the wine selection, and the incredible food. The pierogis are absolutely divine! As someone with a nut allergy they are very accommodating, and they remember me / my allergies when I go in. Highly recommend!
Nice quaint setting. I've been here 2x so far. Good food and the music playlist is really good.
First time here even though we have passed by this place so many times at night. Walking in, there are decent bar top seating along with a few tables and chairs. We initially ordered the flatbread on gluten free crust but was told they ran out. Instead we got the shepherd's pie for $20 and the salmon burger for $18. For the salmon burger, it was quite delicious and I can tell it was homemade and come with a salad on the side. My wife enjoyed her shepherd's pie as it was just the right food portion for her. Only observation is for the price, it could have been a tad bigger. But other then that, no issues. The service was very friendly and we got to speak to I believe may be the owner. Very nice gentleman from Kyiv. Overall great place and you could sense a lot of local patrons.
Truly wasn't expecting much. But the crab and avocado were so fresh and lite it was a hit and would recommend it. The charcuterie board comes in 2 sizes. We selected the small one. Will definitely will have the large size the next time. 3 Sliced meats so paper thin and flavorful and has 3 cheeses all fresh and worth it. Not really knowing what to order. We asked to have the most popular of the meats and cheeses. No disappointment here. Small selections of beers but so many choices of wines. This place is for a wine connoisseur. Stayed save with a piñon Low key atmosphere nice bar and a few tables. Also seating table at the window with 5 stools or chairs. Music at a decent level selections by the bartender's IPad Good for a quiet afternoon first dates are small get togethers. Can easily get to by subway E or F train to 75th street stop.
Great food and ambiance. The restaurant is small and tight so come early if you have more than two people. The food is delicious and so is the wine. Slava Ukraine
Perfect for a chilly day - delicious soup and a glass of red! I really enjoy trying their wines made in NY (gamay noir from Sheldrake today was great). The food is always great too!
There aren't really any dedicated wine bars in FH, surprisingly, so Keuka is a total gem on days when you want to be a classy drinker. This place is worldly with an impressive extensive range of wines across NZ, Napa Valley, to SA. The cheese and meat selection is also fantastic--I highly suggest finding a way to fit in a meat and cheese board that they mainly source locally and domestically, and some from Italy. This is perfect for someone like me who loves cheese and dried meat but doesn't like to buy a whole chunk so having a sampling will do. The appetizers and entrees are pretty decent too, though I see this place more as a relaxed light bite and drinks spot rather than a dinner spot (unless you come solo or with another person). They have a wonderful sangria that is so worth getting the pitcher in. The space is small but surely intimate, and the service is always attentive because of this. Since I have proximity now that I've moved to the area, this is a place where I'll bring my friends to show some food highlights in the area.
Beautiful, small, cozy wine bar located on Queens Blvd.The bartender/ server was friendly and made some good recommendations. The Chicken Tagine was so tender and flavorful, the pasta with meatballs was just spot on to perfection. Everything about this place is amazing.. Would definitely return here.
If your in Queens on Queens Blvd, this is a must gem to grab a glass of wine and some fresh oysters. Family owned, and absolutely lovely owners. They take pride in their food and wine. I've recently tried their summer on the bay which is pasta and lump crab, delicious!! Meatballs were pretty good needed a bit of seasoning but really good. Their escargot is what I come here for, yummy. Come check them out!!
