    Had an amazing brunch at Tootles and French for my boyfriend’s birthday on Sunday, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! The menu isn’t overwhelming and every dish we had was flavorful and well-executed. The cocktails were great, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality. The owner was incredibly welcoming—he even gave us a house liquor on the way out as a thank you and shared details about their upcoming events (which I’m excited to check out!). A highlight was the live music, which was such a pleasant surprise—perfect volume, adding to the atmosphere without being too loud. Definitely a new favorite spot in Astoria, and I can’t wait to come back!
