BEST KEPT SECRET

by suzie1370 at Citysearch

What a great feeling to come to New York on Vacation and find a local Diner, that isn't your average diner, this is an Diner with an upscale flare. I own serveral restaurants in So. Florida, so I nit pick and comment on everything. The food was exceptional, I was visiting for a week and I made it to the diner everyday atleast for a meal or a late night snack. My favorite dishes were, Thai grilled-chicken salad was the BOMB, crab cakes (delicioso), godfather burger (perfectly done) to the ultimate wrap unreal, seafood risotto was out of sight (my favorite dish) and the list goes on, so does the great menu with something for everyone, desserts WOW!!! carrot cake unbelievable and the cheesecake (with fresh whole strawberries). I have visited the City for years and I'm happy to say that I have found The BEST KEPT SECRET in Queens, I can't wait to go back, the service was also a refreshing treat and the management (Angel and Cindy) made it super. This is what dinning is all about great food, awesome service, super clean restaurant and great managers making sure you feel at home. Thank you "Pop Diner" for not letting the nit picker have anything to pick at, lol....

  • Pros: Everything
  • Cons: zero
