If you like grilled octopus you have to try Med Grill.

what's good and child friendly in long island city for dinner?
Manducati's fit's the bill.
NY first-timer with adventurous palate
For outdoor drinking, people watching Bohemian Hall Beer Garden in Astoria (short subway ride from UES) fits the bill.

Best Ravioli in Queens? How does Pastosa on Cross Bay rate?
Excellent Hot Sausage @ Varsi also.
We had the osso buco ravioli from Durso a couple of weeks ago. While they are priced on the high side, they were juicy and delicious.

Valentino's On The Green in Bayside.
Good food for a gathering this size, easy access off Cross Island Pkwy and a huge parking lot.
Verdi's in Whitestone is also another solid option.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Little Pepper--trying to get away from my favorites; Recommendations?
Last time I was there for lunch about a month ago the waiter informed me they don't serve soup with the lunch special anymore...
Little Pepper--trying to get away from my favorites; Recommendations?
I don't think they still offer soup with the lunch special....
I always get the spicy cold noodle app and the shredded beef with peppers lunch special.
Hummus and pita in Astoria (Steinway)?
Duzan on Steinway has great pita & hummus. The pita is a fluffier, more substantial version than most.

Mediterranean Grill / Whitestone
Yes on the s&s. I usually eat seafood when I go there. Been there 15-20 times and it has always been good!

Mediterranean Grill / Whitestone
Dined there this week and felt I should post about this place.. I would call myself a regular there now.. Not only do I bring clients from vitamin water in Whitestone there, Mrs. K and my daughters have made it their local go to place. Each entree comes with a choice of soup ( We had split pea & lentil..really delicious homemade soups) or a great salad plate.
Everytime we go, one of has the grilled octopus. Forget Kyclades and all the Astoria hype... theirs is CONSISTENTLY the best I have ever tasted in a Queens taverna.
I had potato crusted sole on a bed of arugula & tomato salad.
Extremely attentive owners and wait staff. It does get busy on weekends but on a weekday night it is such a relaxed, enjoyable time....
