Good For cool casual cheap dinner and drinks, good for small groups
We went here early Friday night at 7 pm for some good Thai comfort food.
We were immediately surprised by the funky decor as we were not expecting anything more than some good Thai food in your typical Thai restaurant. Sleek white banquets. White shaded lights. Plastic but cute wheat grass throughout. The overall effect was understated modern. We seated ourselves in the half empty restaurant. The menu is straightforward Thai cuisine with a nice selection of mock cocktails that are sake based , a decent selection of wines by the glass and several beers. We started with steamed appetizer combo, $7.95, of crab shumai, shrimp shumai, dumplings and gyoza. This was a delicious and simple selection of well seasoned goodies. Hints of ginger,garlic and green onioned goodness. My husband continues with a $7.95 large ShrimpTom Yum Soup which was a beautifully seasoned and not overly spicy version of the classic with a fairly generous amount of shrimp. I had a $10.95 chicken and shrimp pad thai. A little more sour and liquidy than normal pad thai but a truly generous and tasty portion of perfectly cooked juicy shrimp and chicken with rice noodles. The portion was really big enough for 2.My husband had a powerful pot of mint tea and I started with a $6 dollar lychee martini and finished with $5 warm sake. The martini was not overly sweet and a nice rounded option. The sake was a truly generous small bottle of good quality sake for the price.
Service was adequate.
Would definantly recommend this place both as a destination and if you are in the neighborhood for good Thai in a sleek atmosphere with well priced drink options.
Aside from Novo, Jackson Heights doesn't have much in the way of funky spots so I am glad to have finally discovered this place.

Good For whiskey shots and appetizers, skip the pricier food and cocktails
Finally made my way to Char No 4 this past MLK monday on our way back from a D.C weekend.
Craving some good barbecue and whiskey, I figured this Brooklyn place should fit the bill.
We arrive at 6:30 pm without reservations, and the tiny spot had a few people dining and drinking already. By the time we left at 8:30 the joint was completely packed. Of course, not hard to do since this place is TINY. Mainly bar as you enter and 4 booths and 2 tables in the back. The place to us was depressing in its decor. An poorly thought out ode to the sevenities with brown walls and wood everything.
We were promptly seated and the menu is on the pricier end for what you get. We were hungry and unimpressed by the primarily all fried appetizers so we went striaght for drinks and main. I ordered the $22 ribs with spicy cornbread and baked beans. Underseasoned and not deliciously smoked ribs. Cornbread was moist and tasty. The beans were undercooked and the spiciness and other flavors not appetizing. Since I am somewhat obsessed with all things barbecue, this was a definante disappointment. My husband had the $18 house made maple sausage with brussels sprouts. The sausage was unmemmorable although the sprouts were nicely caramelized and seasoned. A fairly small portion of food for the pricepoint.We shared a $6 side of braised kale. My husband first ordered the whiskey version of dark and stormy. A very weak sweet and watery cocktail, definantly not worth it. I ended up drinking most of this relunctantly and he went for their midprice $22 whisky flight. I started with a sazerac cocktail, which is not on the regular menu and I have never had, which was completely undrinkable medicine like cocktail. I returned that and went to my standby whiskey cocktail of a Rob Roy, which was predictably delicious.
Service was barely present throughout. And when I returned my Sazerac, my waitress grilled me on why I wa returning it.
Overall, would definantly not recommend this place if you are not in the borough already. The star here is really the whiskies. The food is secondary.

Good for casual couples dinner if you are in Queens, good casual wine bar for small groups
I heard about Vesta through the Edible Queens magazine, which has a nice listing of many new Queens restaurants. Since I am always looking for cool tasty options nearby, I checked it out 2 weekends ago on a Sunday night at about 7 pm. This restaurant is in a very residential part of Astoria and doesn't have many other restaurants nearby. When you enter the small space, you are struck by the understated casual charm of the place and the immediate smile of the host. Brick walls, light olive green banquets, tiny wood tables. It reminded me of your typical Brooklyn joint. Which is a good thing, if you had to guess. Promptly seated, we reviewed the nicely priced menu and small but well ranged wine list. The menu has a wide price range, from $11.95 pizza to $27.95 steak. Wine is offered in 3 sizes, a bottle, a glass or a shot, allowing you to create your own wine flights. We shared a $32 bottle of Aglianico, a nice medium body Italian red which we have only tried once before.We started with a $ 6 celery root soup, a massive portion of creamy goodness in a bowl. I followed with the $14.95 lasagna and my husband had the $27.95 grass fed strip steak. My lasagna was a disappointment. Burning hot, when it arrived on the table I imagined fresh tasty meat and cheese. Unfortunately, the lasagna was primarily a sour tomatoe sauce sparsely layered with mozzarella and which was not adeqautely seasoned. My husband fared better, with a tasty and perfectly cooked steak and potatoes. Nothing unusual in flavoring or presentation and a little pricey for what you get compared to everything else on the menu. We also shared a $4 escarole side, which was a beautiful fresh dish accented with garlic.
We ended the meal with a dessert white and the speciality house Baby Jesus cake.We were underwhelmed by the Baby jesus cake, which is a semi sweet dense fig cake. It tasted too much like a brownie with minimal finesse.
Throughout, service was very good. With constant checking in and fairly speedy food to the table. The only exception was our dessert, which took a long time coming. The restaurant removed the cost of our dessert and glass of wine for the delay.
Although there were many misses in the actual food, I would check this place out again, especially for brunch. Would not trek out here from another borough for this place , given the price point and food quality. But if you are in Queens, its worth a try. Would definantly come here just for some wine and pizza although they have a fairly tiny bar area.

Good for romantic simple Italian cuisine for couple or very small group
So having lived in the Prospect Heights area a few years ago, I had always passed by this restaurant with intrigue. Last night, Saturday, finding too many of the funky new Prospect Heights establishements packed and not allowing reservations, I ventured forth in the cold night for some proper Italian comfort food. When you enter Aliseo,you feel you are coming home. Home to a cozy small dining room that your Uncle from Italy happens to open daily to strangers. Faded rose gold gilded wallpaper. Flickering candles. Soft sheltered lighbulbs. Murmurs of soft jazz background music. This is the kind of place that becomes your Sunday night dinner go to. The kind of place where you spend a 3 hour meal with friends and the owner ends up sharing a bottle of wine with you. In other words my kind of place. Now to have this kind of atmosphere , you must be intimate and truly small. The restaurant has maybe 8 tables total, all cheek to cheek. The food menu is as small as the restaurant, with many mains doing double duty as appetizers. Prices are reasonable, most appetizers in the 9-10 dollar range and mains in the mid teens to early twenties.Where Aliseo is not small is its fairly comprehensive Italian wine list, with an excellent representation of wines from most of the important wine regions.
After consultation with the owner, we settled for a $38 Montepulciano from Marche. A well balanced fruit forward wine which complemented our meal and mood fantastically.
We opted to start our meal with the $9 squid fennel salad. The fennel was refreshing and mildly sweet. The squid was not ultrafresh and a bit too salty. Overall, an adequate salad. For mains, I opted for the $21 braised short rib with grilled polenta and my husband for the $25 special branzino and monkfish. We also ordered an extra $8.50 side of mixed sauteed vegetables. My short rib came , a tender mildy seasoned piece of meat with a pan grilled portion of creamy polenta. The plate also had some lovely charred endive. The beef could have been better caramelized and the polenta more grilled, but the overall flavor was simple home cooking. It reminded me of some of the inexpensive Italian places in Marche I have visited . My husband's fish, also not ultrafresh ,was served in a deliciously fragrant saffron broth. Unfortunately the heady perfume of the broth did not have a chance to permeate the fish. In addition, his fish was not served with anything, vegetables or starch, which I thought was odd for a 25 dollar special. We moved onward to desserts. I ordered the chocalate tart and my husband the ricotta and coffee cake dessert. Both $8.50. My tart arrived , pieshell dangerously close to burnt, dancing on a semisweet orange sauce. The tart was a light not too sweet creamy chocalate. If the pieshell was less burnt it would have a been a perfect light dessert ending. My husband's ricotta and coffe cake turned out to be flavored ricotta served in a pie shell. Our waiter forgot to let us know they were out of coffee cake. Unfortunately, the flavored ricotta tasted odd with the pieshell and was really not a welcome dessert ending.
Our waiter was not very present most of our meal.
Overall, although there were some misses in the food and service, I would venture forth here again and focus on pastas and meats.

Good for upscale burger in deluxe McDonalds setting
On my way to see a really bad Tennesse Williams movie at BAM last December, I decided to check out 67 burger for a quick bite. Having heard enough of the rave reviews of my sisters, who rates it as one of her favorite burger joints, I ventured to see what all the love is about. Set in the hip heart of Fort Green, literally minutes from BAM it is a great location for fast and furious burger loving. The space is tiny, probably 10 tables in a mod diner looking establishment. Metal, bright colors all you need to feel funky and hip while eating a burger. I must admit although I did not partake when ordering my burger a nice touch is a select option of wine and beer at reasonable prices. When you enter the joint, its like Mcdonalds except upscale. Go to the counter, order the combo your way (oh yeah that burger king), sit down and burger arrives in a few minutes. They even give you free tap water without asking. So you can choose between 4 kinds of burger - grilled chicken, ground turkey, veggie and good ole beef. No organic grass fed fanciness here. All burger are served on standard sesame bun with lettuce tomatoes and onions. Then you choose your style- with 12 burger variations ranging from greek feta cheese, artichoke hearts and olive tapenade to your basic blue cheese and bacon classic 67 burger, varying in base price of $7-9. Then you can add a variety of cheeses and sauces for under $2 per topping. They also have a variety of salad sides or mains. Fries are not included and your options for under $4 are regular curly, cajun seasoned and sweet potatoe . They also have pricey onion rings for $4.50 . I opted for the $8 parisien beef burger, medium rare, served with white wine sauteed onions, mushrooms, dijon mustard with a side of regular $2.95 fries. One thing for sure this place is speedy. In five minutes, I got a well sized fresh tasting beef packet of yumminess. The lettuce tomatoe onion and pickle were a bit faded but the burger itself was a flavor bonanza. The meat was juicy and perfectly cooked. The fries were enormous, really the size for 3 people to share and unfortunately to salty and not crispy enough for my taste. Overall, the burger was good. Certainly not the best burger my big mouth has consumed. I also did not like the quick serve , Mcdonald aspect to this place. Its does not feel like a restaurant and personally if I am going to end up spending 10 dollars on a burger and fries I would like to feel like I am in a more chill down place. Of course,as a take out spot or I just need a quick upscale burger fix, it's not a bad option.
So overall I would recommend 67 burger .

Good for drinks
So I have been off vacationing in Portugal for the holidays, hence my lack of blogging. But prior to my trip out, on the December 17th Thursday, I had the unfortunate experiance of eating at (aged.). My husband and I were in the neigborhood of Forest Hillas after having dropped my sister off at the airport and figured we were sure to find a cool dinner bet along Austin Street. Occupying the space formerly housing Rouge, a french restaurant, a glance inside the window whetted my appetite. Its no casual Peter Luger's. Sleek wooded interior with funky metal lighting. We arrived around 7 pm, and the place although medium in size, was about half way full. A deceptively good sign I thought. We promptly were seated and quickly ordered. My husband had been hankering for a burger and I for some good steak so we figured this place would be a perfect settlement. We started with the $7 apple raspberry candied walnut spinach salad. Heavy on an overly vinagered dressing, I gave up after a few bites and hoped for the best with my $19 hanger steak. I ordered it bloody, which in NY is still not enought to gurantee rareness. I was hoping a steakhouse could handle the order though. My husband stuck to his guns and ventured for the $14 angus burger with blue cheese and mushrooms. My steak arrived medium rare with an uninspired mash of potatoes but a tasty though small side of vegetables. I returned it immediately and waited for some true rare steak to reappear. My husband's burger although very flavorful had the bizarre consistency of wood chips. I have never had a burger like this, sawdust dry although it was actually perfectly cooked medium. I have no idea what kind of angus was in there but it was a true travesty for 14 dollars. The fries accompanying the burger were adequate, but nothing memorable. When my steak returned tableside, it proved not worth waiting for. It had an off tangy taste, almost gamey, was under seasoned and generally not much to write home about. After a few bites I desisted, finished the tasty greens and pondered the sad situation. I suppose (aged .)might be a good place for a drink if you are in the Forest Hills area. But never mind the food. A steakhouse that can't make a spinach salad, burger or a hanger steak is a very pathetic steakhouse indeed.
