Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Bellerose

I dined here for the first time last Mon, 12/30/24 with my sister & her husband plus 2 priests we were honoring. We were all very satisfied w/ the food & service. Mary Grace was an excellent server. Very pleasant & attentive w/o being obnoxious. The only negative was the sun shining directly on the eyes of one of our guests despite the curtains that were drawn down. It is a come-back place! Today, 1/3, I came back with another priest friend. We were warmly welcomed by the Asst. Manager, Dianne, who was just as friendly & cheerful as Mary Grace. I had an energetic & interesting brief chat with her before we sat. Our server, Louis, was also pleasant & efficient. I also commend the rest of the wait staff who brought our orders to the table. The food was excellent, made even more delicious by the reasonably-priced lunch special w/ complimentary appetizer & dessert, as well as the efficient service. Thank you, Park Place. Keep up the good work! My one wish is for the resto to have an eye-catching huge name at EYE LEVEL and another big sign perhaps by the parking lot fence near Miller St. Driving alone, not tall, & focused on the road last time, I could not see the sign way above the awning, much less the one just above the awning. Neither were the small signs on the front door very clear to a solo driver in the area for the 1st time. I knew I was in the place because of my GPS but not sure since I could not see the signs. I wasted time going around the block 2x to be sure I would park in the right place.

Dining in this restaurant is always an enjoyable experience. The food is delicious and the ambience is lovely. Our server, Eleni, was attentive and personable. Our food was prepared perfectly. The manager, Luis, checked on the tables to inquire if all the customers were satisfied. Our valet, Lawrence, cordially greeted us upon entry and did not keep us waiting for our vehicle. We highly recommend this establishment.

We enjoyed a Post Christmas - Pre New Years Dinner on Friday night, I had the Old Fashioned and Marinated Strip Steak, she had the Spicy Margareta and Sword Fish. We shared a Crab Meat Cocktail, which was a good size to share and delicious. The Arugula hiding under the ice was an unexpected treat and complemented the Crab an cocktail sauce. Service was attentive to our needs. We will be back !

Brittany our waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable. She explained the menu clearly. She knew all about wine. Ask for Brittany when you go there for dinner
