Hello! A couple of quick notes:

It's been an amazing few days, we've worked out the issues we experienced during the first few days of our soft opening. We are grateful to everyone for their patience during that time, some folks had to wait a long time for their food but hopefully they understood that it was just the first few days of business for a big, full-service restaurant.

The menu has been expanding every day, as has our staff - and we have some excellent people working for us in the kitchen, behind the bar and on the floor.

For those of you who preferred to wait until we are fully open before checking us out, we're ready to make Monday June 11th our official opening date!

On that note, we will be closed on Sunday (tomorrow). We need to sleep at least 3 or 4 hours a week so we figured we'd have a little event for our investors, and then give everyone the night off.

We look forward to seeing everyone! 

Had a nice meal at the Queensboro Monday night. The restaurant is spacious, comfortable and full of light. The supreme pizza and chicken my wife and I had were delicious and reasonably priced. And they made a killer manhattan. For the official opening the place was packed, with a lot of kids on hand early on. It was a terrific experience and I look forward to going back to try more of the menu or just stop by for a drink. This much-anticipated restaurant is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. Congratulations, Dudley!

When will the menu be uploaded online? Super excited to try it out

Looks like the menu is up now.

The Queensboro - Menu

Went last night--loved it! Exactly what I'd been wishing for in JH! I just wish it were closer to my apartment, but I'll manage to get there plenty, I'm sure. I enjoyed the by-the-glass Chardonnay and the fusilli, which was delicious. There were loads of families with children there, and just really a lot of people when I went around 7 PM. Most of the tables were full, but it's quite big, so I think chances are good there will be a table available whenever you go.

Went again for a more elaborate meal and we were seated in close proximity first to two parties we knew, followed by two parties we didn't know, but wound up chatting with. Very friendly atmosphere, and this time I can recommend the swordfish and the pineapple upside down cake. Oddly, they were not equipped to serve coffee with dessert for some reason--I guess they are still working out the kinks. Had a great time--the place was jumping.

Thanks for the kind words! I wanted to put out a few brief updates:

We're reliably serving coffee now (drip for now. Espresso based drinks will come soon(ish)). Our machines got calibrated last night. Who knew that such a thing was necessary?! We do now...

We'll be open at 5pm every day.

Next Tuesday the 26th we'll be closed for a private event.

Much love to everyone who was come in so far!

Well, my family and I have been there twice and while I love the vibe, and its been great to sit near neighbors I know and to meet new friends (in the section where tables are very close to each other), I would have to say the actual menu is...a work in progress. The swordfish (not on the menu last night), fusilli, fluke and leek salad were delicious.But last night several of us had the scallops and they were drenched in too much pepper.  That marred what would have otherwise been a tasty apple/corn sauce (don't remember the exact ingredients, forgive me foodies!).  The first time, I had the roast chicken and I must say it was serviceable but underwhelming, nothing special. This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and we are thrilled to have it around and are rooting for it, so I hope honest feedback will help.
