Best Modern European Restaurants in Whitestone

We asked for searing upstairs and glad we did! So much quieter up there. We could talk across the table without having to say “what?” all the time! The food was really good-our party had the artichoke salad (very different,very good), the short rib pappadelle with homemade noodles(melt in your mouth short ribs), the ricotta cavatelli (good, but over-garlicky, I was told) and chicken Milanese (so good). Spilt the peanut butter crunch cake— more a mousse than a cake imho, but a tasty end to a lovely meal. We ordered the California Merlot, the reasonably priced one(lol) and it opened up deliciously. Oh, I cannot forget the service: from the young man at valet parking, the women hostess & coat check, waiter and bus boys— all lovely and thoughtful. It was a delightful evening!

Food is good you can tell the owner and chef put a lot of detail and thought into it. Giving the service a pass because as someone in the restaurant industry I don’t think they expected it to be so busy. You can tell owner cares a lot about the restaurant. He should be proud because his place is fantastic. Also the drinks are so delicious. I highly recommend, your taste buds will thank you later:)

This is the best French restaurant on LI. We go the regularly and they never miss a beat. Although everything is good don’t miss the onion soup, escargot or the duck.
