Best Family Style Restaurants in Kew Gardens

We are from Canada and celebrated our 25th Anniversary in NY. We chose Carmines for the wonderful reviews we read. The food was delicious, and the value was outstanding. They serve family style so one dish can easily feed 2 to 3 people. Keep that in mind when looking at the pricing. Absolute 5 star experience. Wait time was minimal with reservation and we booked 2 months in advance. We would 100% recommend this restaurant and their very professional staff made the experience perfect!!!

Chloe is fantastic! The prawn pad thai is the best we’ve ever had by far. Tried one from each section of the apps, all very good but highlights were the beef skewer and crab uni buns. Ended with a top tier soufflé and espresso martinis with a lovely chocolate after-note.

Everything was fabulous. We had Scampi, salad and the mushroom ravioli which was to die for! It is very noisy there however. My only other comment would be that the family style service gives you a lot of food for 2. We did finish everything because it was so delicious but just barely.

We had a wonderful lunch at Patrizia’s on Sunday. Our appetizers of fried calamari and burrata were amazing - probably the best calamari I’ve ever had. Our entrees were delicious and plentiful and dessert was the icing on the cake. What a gem in this little Queens neighborhood!

Had a great time at ECB before the LCD Soundsystem show. We sat in the side/banquet room, which was nice. Staff was attentive and friendly. The food was awesome all around. Drinks were good. 5/5 experience, would return.
