Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Kew Gardens

We had a fantastic time from getting a drink at the bar to the meal at the table. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and had great suggestions. I would definitely recommend!

My friend and I had t seen each other for 5+ years. She traveled into Grand Central from CT. After much research for a place to meet, Park Ave Kitchen by David Burke was such a convenient meeting place. When we arrived, the ambience was wonderful. The restaurant room was spacious, tables were well-spaced, and welcoming. We hadn’t seen each other for so long, we didn’t look at the menu for a long time. Our waiter was patient and kind, understanding our need for time to yak! Then the food came. It was delicious! I got the tomato bisque soup and Brussel sprouts. My friend got the lobster ravioli. YUM! A fantastic experience, especially in an area of the city that’s populated and hard to find comfortable, spacious, tasty food. I’d go back - might even go sit at the bar next time. Highly recommend!

A wide variety of tasty small plates and accompanying wines. We especially enjoyed the Fideos, Arroz, and Razor Clams. Both the server and the sommelier were very knowledgeable and steered our table to good choices. The only minor drawback is that the space is tight and the lighting dim - a disservice to seeing the well plated dishes.

While some places lose it over time, Barbounia only continues to get better and better. The dishes are varied and spectacular and it is truly a treat to eat there.

We loved Monterey! It’s a lovely restaurant conveniently located near lots of Midtown attractions. The food and beverage presentations were impressive. We had the prime rib special and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent. For dessert, the Bananas Foster was prepared table side. The presentation and taste were amazing. We can’t wait to return.
