Tavern 157

Happy hour 的CP值很高，生蠔6個才$8，House wine$5，小菜選項不多，正餐價位偏高，都新鮮好吃。 裝潢的很特別，吧台正上方掛滿了酒瓶，右邊滿牆的書櫃，再用畫框區分，每一個框內擺上上小桌跟高腳椅，天花板掛著用鹿角拼裝的燈飾，處處可見巧思。

This review is based on the prefix menu for Valentine’s Day. To summarize: pretentious without soul. Service: service seemed a bit slow, took a while for us to get our bread and get someone to get the order. However, it was Valentine’s Day and very busy, so we will forgive a bit. The staff were very friendly and attentive when they did get to us. Atmosphere: very quaint, cute and modern. They did play the same song 5 times, a female rendition of drakes “beeper” song. Food: we ordered the short ribs/bone marrow and the salmon. For appetizers it was the scallops and the foie gras. The scallops were made ceviche style? Weird. The foie gras had fish eggs, so weird again. The short ribs were overly seasoned, good presentation but flavor did not match. The salmon was dry and had nothing to complement it. The dessert was fine, nothing to write home about. Maybe it’s just different tastes? Come here for ambience but not amazing cuisine.

Not enjoyable. Staff sucks. I think they forgot to pay their gas bill because it’s freezing in here.

nice food and decor！

I had the Waygu burger. With Stella beer. It was very good.

Excellent food, service and cocktails! Try the blood orange mojito.

Love coming by here to bar hop!! Cute hidden gem in Flushing!! Great selection for wines. Their charcuterie is so worth the money!!

Amazing entrance and vibe when I arrived. The seating and bar looked welcoming and invited me in. The staff were able to seat me almost immediately. While Sitting farthest from the door I felt cold and I needed jacket for majority of the dinner. It took roughly 20 mins for us to get our menus and another 35-40 mins for our entrees . I was immediately surprised by the presentation as my appetizer was served in a glass container. When I got my appetizer I expected a bigger portion for the price (I understand caviar and sea urchin can be a little expensive but I’ve seen a lot better). Having one bite for an appetizer is a little absurd even more at $33. We finally arrived at our entrees and I’m once again stunned by the presentation. That stunned feeling never came again as the first few bites of the food had me wanting less and feeling frustrated. I tried both the slow cooked salmon which came with a pea sized amount of vegetables. The sauce was strictly for look as it tasted like nothing and all it had for flavor was itself with little to no seasonings. The NY steak was nicely cooked at medium. The sauce that was beneath it paired with it nicely but still a long distance for what I was expecting from an established restaurant. The mash potatoes were the highlight of my night as it had the most flavor and portion from everything I tried that night. From this point on I was hesitant to order anything else and decided it was time to leave.
