Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Howard Beach

Great middle eastern style food. Some options I expected were not on the menu like gyro or saffron basmati rice but what we did order were great traditional dishes.

The food was delicious (our party had a Caesar, & mozzarella app to start, veal, chicken and two pasta dishes, then tiramisu). The service was impeccable. We love the old school vibe of the place with black tie waiters, white tablecloths, coat check girl, and pics of celebs lining the halls. Lovely Christmas decorations made for a warm and festive time. I was just sorry we weren’t there on a night with the piano player because I know from past visits that really brings the dining room alive and makes everything lively and festive. This place is reliably good and a standby for us in the city.

Picturesque atmosphere and incredible food. Special mention goes to the service provided by Danilo and the other waiters.

We sat upstairs and thoroughly enjoyed our rack of lamb dinners. Despite many tables being vacant, a group of eight people on the other side of the room were discourteously noisy. Our service was less attentive than it should have been, especially given the absence of other tables for her to wait on. Nonetheless, the food was excellent and we enjoyed ourselves.

I love this restaurant! Great food drinks and service. The DJ was engaging and played great music for the crowd
