    We discovered this place when coming to an appointment in Astoria and we are all not living in Queens! This place is so worth the distance! Some of the best Greek food I ever had and I grew up in Astoria before moving to Brooklyn. Spinach pie is lien made by grandma. All seafood is tender and flavorful. Lemon potatoes are the best I ever had as well along with all the sides. Cocktails are well balanced and delicious. Service is friendly and welcoming. We keep saying we may try a new place but we just can’t because This place is soooooo perfect.

    If you like Colombian food, then you'll love this place. We enjoyed well done chicharrón, chorizo, rice, beans, maduros, a perfectly fried whole fish - red snapper, tostones, and a variety of other dishes. While it can get quite crowded, the food and drinks are worth it. I had a passion fruit mojito that was delicious,and also tried the red sangria, which stood out as one of the best I’ve had, even compared to other Colombian and Cuban spots.
