Astoria Cafe & Market

"Pretty good but overpriced? Don't get me wrong the food is not bad. But honestly the salad was watery and while the ingredients are special and considered expensive, the overall price just has me thinking it was too expensive for the actual food itself. The food got too cold quickly too. I do like the open bar concept and the servers and bartenders were attentive. I don't want my review to take away from the overall experience. I would like to come again to try some other platters but for what I'm actually getting, the price was too expensive for how the food was tasting and cooked. I felt like I could have made it if I had the ingredients myself (probably not but you get the gist of what I'm trying to convey). I understand I'm being picky but yeah if I’m paying over $100 for a two person brunch, I expect everything to taste perfect. The scallops were too salty, salad was watery, duck was quite chewy... I'm hoping to try again and update my review to experience dishes worth their prices!"

"My recent dining experience at Astoria Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the heart of a bustling city, this Mediterranean gem offers a menu that's truly a culinary adventure. The first course set the tone for the evening as we indulged in a magnificent cheese board. The selection of cheeses was truly remarkable, showcasing a range of flavors and textures that delighted the palate. It was a fantastic way to start the meal, and it left us excited for what was to come. For the main course, I decided to try the Ratatouille, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The dish was a culinary masterpiece, with rich and complex flavors that danced on the taste buds. The texture was perfect, and it was incredibly filling, making it a hearty and satisfying option. It was a pleasant surprise to see how Astoria Cafe caters to vegetarians and vegans with such a variety of delectable dishes on the menu. It's evident that they put a lot of thought into creating options that cater to different dietary preferences. As if the exceptional food wasn't enough, Astoria Cafe offers more to enhance the overall experience. The on-site market is a treasure trove of products and drinks, perfect for taking a piece of the experience home or as thoughtful gifts. This added dimension makes the visit even more memorable. While the food, atmosphere, and service were top-notch, it's worth noting that Astoria Cafe leans toward the pricier side. However, the quality of the dining experience and the remarkable food justifies the cost. The ambiance was wonderful, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. In conclusion, Astoria Cafe is a Mediterranean haven for food enthusiasts. From the exquisite cheese board to the delightful Ratatouille and the extensive vegetarian and vegan options, this restaurant offers a memorable culinary journey. Although it may be a bit on the expensive side, the exceptional food, inviting atmosphere, and attentive service make it well worth the visit. Whether you're looking for a special night out or simply want to savor the flavors of the Mediterranean, Astoria Cafe is a must-visit."

"Great place on my list of places to try. Small inside, but we were able to get a table in the party room. Everything tasted super fresh and the staff was really kind. Mother’s Little Helper drink was good but too much filler for me, so I switched to wine. We got the Mediterranean board, which was delicious. We grabbed some of the feta from the deli on the way out. I got the octopus salad that was cooked to perfection accompanied with wonderful goat cheese. Will definitely be back!"

"Such a nice restaurant. All the food was delicious. The octopus with arugula salad was soo good, definitely going back to have it again and try more of the dishes. Also had the ratatouille with polenta and meatballs. The portokalopita for dessert was excellent! They also have a store inside to buy various cheeses, wines, olives and deli meats."

"This place feels like it is in a bigger city when you sit inside of it. Very clean and modern looking with cheese and meats in the display case for purchase as well as a wall of wines and things. I am not the biggest fan of octopus but I tried it here and loved it! The nice grilled flavor and presentation made it an experience. There is a cheese I don’t remember the name of that comes on a plate toasted and melty. Get that. Whatever it is lol. The meatballs had a good texture but where surprisingly lacking character. After enjoying the other food I was slightly disappointed in the meatballs but I tend to like a more bold flavor. The portopolpita (guarantee it’s spelled wrong hahaha) is so good! It’s a cake with a subtle orange flavor covered in syrup. Delicious!"
