Best Restaurants with a Scenic View in East Elmhurst

An absolute gem in the heart of the Met! We have eaten here several times, and once again the restaurant came through with flying colors! Butternut squash soup, hummus with tiny fresh vegetables, and two beautiful entrees were superb.We love eating here, and try to do so whenever we are in NYC.

I didn’t know what to expect when I made a reservation for myself & five of my friends to celebrate my 60th birthday but I was in for the best time. As soon as you walk in you are struck with the elegance of the bar area. Wait staff were very helpful & the view of the East River & Queens was stunning. We were treated incredibly well by our waitress, Elizabeth. The food was amazing & inventive. I would have liked the bar to have more choices, such as I would have loved a kir royale but that wasn’t available. Even though, we had a fabulous time.

I had never had pasta or wine before…… Maiella changed my life. Forever.

Surprised my Husband for his birthday. Hostess greeted my Husband with a Happy Birthday, and we were seated immediately. Service was great. There were no long waits for our food. The grilled bacon and shrimp scampi appetizers are a MUST try as well as their Breakfast Whisky cocktail. Will definitely dine there again in the near future.

The service was almost the worst service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. The waitress stood in front of us, just staring, looking at other people talking on her phone texting on her phone. It was almost impossible to get anything we needed however, the food was well worth a return visit.
