Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Howard Beach

5pm reservation. Promptly seated. Great service. Staff made great recs on mains. Moo dang puffs were a terrific starter. Loved our experience. Highly recommend.

This place used to be our go-to restaurant for all occasions when we lived at Hampton CT in Kew Gardens. Their weekly prime rib special was a must and always good fun at the bar. I decided to have a group brunch with friends to celebrate Christmas as it was more centrally located for everyone. Having been away for nearly 7 years, it was like seeing an old friend again. Food is always prepared thoughtfully and the staff is awesome. Not surprising to learn that John, the general manager is still there. Thanks Austin Ale House for another great memory.

Excellent as usual. The very BEST bolognese anywhere. Great variety on menu without overdoing, something Delicious for every palate. Staff very accommodating and pleasant. A very Happy Birthday celebration generously provided.

Have come here before and will continue to come here. Food was pretty great and service is pretty wonderful.

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.
