Best Live Music Restaurants in Bayside

Good food, nice folks, prompt service, really nice building.

My sister and I had a delicious lunch today at Mallards. We both had the jambalaya--terrific--and shared a piece of key lime pie. Our server was very attentive.

We went with another couple and everything was good and well presented except my Cacio & Pepe which was closer to macaroni and cheese than actual cacio & pepi-it was pasta smothered in a heavy cheese sauce. I will go there again but definitely order something different . We liked the atmosphere and our server was terrific.

A revised menu and the favorite Flammekueche is back!! -- thin crispy flatbread with freme fraiche, bacon, and onions. We shared three flatbreads with our group of 6 people and had more than enough to go around which we paired with litters of German beer and wine. Very attentive waitress given the crowded atmosphere enjoying the annual Tuba Christmas -- always a fun place with great beer and staff.

We highly recommend the Friday fish fry. Generous portions and delicious. More important was the service. Karen and Lawrence, the only two serving most all the customers, were fantastic. They engaged the customers with their smiles, great attitudes and made everyone feel like we were one big family. It was one of the most relaxing, happiest, and friendly dining experiences we've had in a long time. Thanks Karen and Lawrence....we'll be back soon!
