Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Shady Lady, once a beloved spot in Astoria, is known for its "amazing" food and memorable brunches. However, guests have faced challenges with management and reservations, as the restaurant is now closed but mistakenly still accepting bookings. An "upbeat" experience with staff, like Jason, was previously enjoyed.

The Shady Lady was closed down. They took our reservation on Open Table and did not contact us in any way to let us know they would no longer be open. Very upsetting.

GROSSLY OVERPRICED. Hate to give a bad review but the place is loud, cramped, the food is okay...but not for the prices they are charging. $25 for eggs Benedict, regular run of the mill, Benedict, $26 for a burger and another $4 for fries. The food comes out at room temp and brunch for 4 was over $150. Oh yeah, we got free coffee.

I have a love hate relationship with this restaurant. The food is AMAZING. Everything we’ve had here is delicious. However, management of the restaurant is so incredibly poor that we rarely go. We went for the first time 2 years ago and shortly after wanted to take a friend to try their food that we enjoyed so much. Unfortunately their hours on their website are never updated and we went on a Sunday night only to be told they no longer serve dinner on Sundays. We came back on Friday Dec 27th with a dinner reservation (just to make sure that they were actually going to be open). The waiter takes our order and two members of our party of 3 are told their items are not available because they no longer serve gnocchi and haven’t updated their menus. No mention of this when our menus are handed to us. No simple updates to the menu (marker, tape). Mind you, the section of the menu is literally called “Pasta and Gnocchi” so kind of weird that you’re not offering half of that section and don’t make any update to your menu. Despite how delicious their food is we’re unlikely to return again to avoid another mishap. Perhaps if management can get it together and update their hours and menus in a timely manner we might return but we won’t go out of our way to come here anymore.
