Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Queens Village

Food is delicious and fresh! Serving is impeccable!

Long time diner & love the restaurant on every level

I dined here for the first time last Mon, 12/30/24 with my sister & her husband plus 2 priests we were honoring. We were all very satisfied w/ the food & service. Mary Grace was an excellent server. Very pleasant & attentive w/o being obnoxious. The only negative was the sun shining directly on the eyes of one of our guests despite the curtains that were drawn down. It is a come-back place! Today, 1/3, I came back with another priest friend. We were warmly welcomed by the Asst. Manager, Dianne, who was just as friendly & cheerful as Mary Grace. I had an energetic & interesting brief chat with her before we sat. Our server, Louis, was also pleasant & efficient. I also commend the rest of the wait staff who brought our orders to the table. The food was excellent, made even more delicious by the reasonably-priced lunch special w/ complimentary appetizer & dessert, as well as the efficient service. Thank you, Park Place. Keep up the good work! My one wish is for the resto to have an eye-catching huge name at EYE LEVEL and another big sign perhaps by the parking lot fence near Miller St. Driving alone, not tall, & focused on the road last time, I could not see the sign way above the awning, much less the one just above the awning. Neither were the small signs on the front door very clear to a solo driver in the area for the 1st time. I knew I was in the place because of my GPS but not sure since I could not see the signs. I wasted time going around the block 2x to be sure I would park in the right place.

Peter is all over everything including food, staff and bar. So friendly to all of the customers. Bacala's has been there for so many years when prior to this restaurants came and go at this location. Peter Hewitson is the difference. He is passionate about the restaurant and is always there with a smile and running all over keeping things running smoothly.

Service was great and the patio space is a must for date night.
