Oven Grill Chill - Astoria

Thank you to Christian O for the best service. He made sure my table was good from the beginning to the end of the night. One of my favorite places in Astoria. See you soon!

If i could Leave 0 stars I would, security and manager “Josh” were extremely condescending and passive aggressive. Not a place I would ever recommend for any young adult in their 20s, completely ruined my first experience in New York!Food: 1/5

This restaurant is a fun and cool spot, but it's quite small and the service is not the best. It seems like everyone, including the staff, is more focused on partying than serving customers. It took a while for us to get our bottle and even longer to get a hookah. Despite this, we are willing to give it another try in the future.

I would give this restaurant a rating of 3.5. They automatically include an 18% gratuity in the bill, which is higher than most places I have been to where the average is 2 to 3%. They also charge a 4% credit card transaction fee, which seems higher than usual. I wish we could choose our own tip amount, as it feels like we are being double-tipped. The music is great, with a live DJ playing a mix of Latin, salsa, and pop. They offer bottled water for purchase, as well as drinks like Casa Migos vodka for $14 and Jameson and soda for $14. There is a security guard for the bathroom. The crowd demographics seem to be mostly between 22 and 28 years old. Overall, it is a nice atmosphere but be cautious of the added gratuity and fees.

I stopped by this restaurant for date night and was pleasantly surprised by the food. The frozen margarita I ordered was delicious, and my waitress, Maria Jesus, was lovely and attentive. I highly recommend asking for her when you visit, as she made the experience even more enjoyable.
