Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Flushing

Had an amazing brunch at Tootles and French for my boyfriend’s birthday on Sunday, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! The menu isn’t overwhelming and every dish we had was flavorful and well-executed. The cocktails were great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. The owner was incredibly welcoming—he even gave us a house liquor on the way out as a thank you and shared details about their upcoming events (which I’m excited to check out!). A highlight was the live music, which was such a pleasant surprise—perfect volume, adding to the atmosphere without being too loud. Definitely a new favorite spot in Astoria, and I can’t wait to come back!

This has been my favorite Omakase experience of all. It is a bit pricier than some omakase’s but it is worth the extra money, every single piece was incredible, especially the first dish. Their Valentines special was amazing and I would definitely come back again next year again!

Love this place! It’s easy to see why they were packed with customers last night. Fresh and high quality food, great and attentive service, super delicious meals, and a dessert called the napoleon that is unreal. This place is a gem. Can’t wait to come back in a few weeks.

Excellent evening out with professional staff, and sensational food. This is our go- to for a fancy dinner. It's always a great experience

It is a fantastic restaurant, from the Hostess, Server, and Manager. The service was terrific, and the food was delicious! We had the Porter House, lobster mashed potatoes, and the sauteed mushrooms. A definite reco if you have not tried Christos.
