My husband daughter and I went to the Candle Cafe East location for lunch. They have an extensive vegan menu covering light or heavy fare. We shared the avocado tartare which popped with flavor! We got the following dishes: Seitan and mushroom burger, a crepe and bagels w/loxs. All three dishes were very tasty and the portions were very generous. James was our server and he was excellent! The restaurant seems to have a devoted following and we noticed several families with children. There is enough variety on the menu to please young and old.

Visited here two nights in row, the food is excellent and the selection of beer is good. Tried the Jackson Salad which is lovely for a carb free meal...well sort of. Also tried the coleslaw, tasted fresh and a tad touch of spice. The staff is really nice, the prices are great. I think the Jackson salad was $12, enough to fill and have room for drinks. There's a decent sized area to sit outside with about 8 tables. Inside is very warm from the kitchen, the area by the bar is cooler.

Visited with my 3 kids and wife. No childrenâs menu but they brought coloring books for the kids and it has a family friendly vibe. Kids split a cheese pizza and fries. My wife and I had burgers which were both very good. The kids loved the ice cream sandwiches for dessert. Really good but limited beers on tap and yummy cocktails. Good find.

We were seated at a table on the back porch--so charming and quaint--for a recent Sunday brunch. The menu is varied enough that everyone can easily find something that appeals to their tastes. Service was great---attentive and helpful. All of our selections were prepared as ordered and tasty. Portions were more than ample. We will return!

This was our first time eating here. We found it on Trip Advisor. We really enjoyed eating here. They offered a full diner type menu-breakfast and brunch selections, burgers(7 oz), salads, vegetarian panini or wraps, sandwiches,desserts, milkshakes, smoothies and coffee drinks. I had challah French toast with fruit. My husband had an omelette with cheddar cheese and mushrooms. Both our orders included fresh orange juice and coffee. Everything was freshly prepared and very tasty. In addition we had very good service. If we are in this area again we will definitely eat here. One other thing - they have both indoor and outdoor seating.

My wife and I were celebrating our honeymoon in the Big Apple and had decided to book the number 1 rated Manhattan restaurant for our last night. This place did not disappoint in any way. We arrived a little early so waited at the bar for our table to be ready. The place was buzzing and there was a Jazz band setting a cool tone. The bar itself is only small but what it lacks in size it makes up for in the large variety of drinks you can order.We were led upstairs to our table and received excellent, attentive service from the waiting staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The overleaf of the menu has a passage talking about their mantra, something about the customer being the most important person. The waiter asked if we were celebrating and when we told him he said he'd bring us something special. The food itself was second to none, my wife ordered the Buffalo Mozzarella followed by the Double Lamb Chops while I opted for Steak Tartare with Fillet Mignon for main. The fillet, talking from experience, was cooked to perfection (medium-rare) with a delicious "crust" from the cooking.We were treated to a complimentary trio of desserts which included profiteroles, tiramisu and carrot cake which were each beautiful. Along with this we were given a memento of our visit, a picture of us with a personal, signed message of thanks from the owner.Reserve in advance if you plan to eat here.Hi Michael,Thank you for making Club A part of your honeymoon and I am thrilled we did not disappoint! I appreciate your kind review and hope to see you again. Bruno

street parking is the choice here, depending on the time of the day is not super hard to find parking. This place used to be a regular dinner, open late and stuff. over time they started to change and now they are some super upscale restaurant, very hip and very well crowded. Te food here got elevated and the taste here is king. MOSCATO- always get that sweet wine in my life. so we went ahead and got some sweet wine to start it correctly. TOMATOES SOUP- it tasted perfect, my friends love the soup here.TUNA TARTARE- looked so fresh a tasted so well seasoned, this is a very worth to try item from the menu.GOUDA DUCK BURGER- nice taste like Kibe, the gouda was very well blend into the burger, the burger was very nice a large, I go it with a salad and that was very well made as well.LAVA CAKE A LA MODE- nice and warm chocolate cake, with ice cream on top, perfect mix of hot and cold.Overall I am really impressed with the changes they have made over the years, they are elevated and much better than their original concept. Their food is better tan ever and I think they are an example of success.

I love BBQ and make it a point to trying BBQ whenever I am in a new area.I was looking forward to trying the best BBQ in Queens...Hits and misses....Pros and Cons....Service was very good and very pleasant.Restaraunt was clean.Had a nice Imperial IPA.My brisket was dry with no bark or smoke ring. There was a thin layer of fat that provided the only moisture. See picture.Rib tips were good...but Ive had better.They were out of sauced ribs so I went with dry rub.They were very good.Mac & Cheese was very creamy, not my style but good flavor.Other meals at the table were brunch related and enjoyed.It is probably a true statement,the best in Queens.
