I don’t know why you didn’t mention the best steak house in all of Queens, Christos. Astoria pwns fohi, way better restaurants, bars nightlife, everything, we dominate your pathetic asses

I can see your point, Bifstec, but a restaurant that is called “aged” that features a Peter-Luger-style menu (steak for 1, steak for 2, side of spinach, etc.) is portraying itself to be a steakhouse. Also, I don’t like giving FoHi restaurants a free pass if there’s an implication that they’re comparing themselves to Manhattan - as if that’s some magical, mythical standard - yet fall short on the actual level of quality. I don’t want to pay Manhattan prices for mediocrity, and that tends to happen a lot around here. BTW, another excellent steakhouse in Queens is Uncle Jack’s in Bayside, which def can compete with the best of them.

I felt the same nervous apprehension from the staff as you did. But I thought the food was pretty good, albeit certainly not great. I think you’re being too hard on these guys. The food I felt was above average and I believe worth what they were charging. I’m not going to rave about these guys, but at the same time I wouldn’t put them down either. Yes there is room for improvement, but at the same time they’re offer something you can’t find anywhere else in Forest Hills. You’d have to travel to Astoria to find something similar. I think steakhouse is a misnomer for this place, I believe its really offering a modern American fair. The offer a surprisingly wide array of menu choices for a steak house. I think the place is definitely worth a shot, weird staff vibes aside.
