    Best new Queens restaurant
    Bistro 33
    Other nominees: Athens Tavern, Nusara Thai Kitchen, PJ’s Steakhouse
    Queens—arguably the city’s best borough for ethnic food—is developing its haute dining rep with a slew of new neighborhood eateries serving casual yet sophisticated fare. It was a tough fight, but Astoria’s Bistro 33 emerged as your favorite: The ambitious French and Japanese menu offers creative sushi, including a tongue-tantalizing orange-curry shrimp roll, and grilled lamb chops with a basil-ponzu vinaigrette. Moussaka, meet your competition.

      At first, this cramped little place seemed to invite with its charmingly rustic decor. Shame all that had to be ruined by the cattiness of the wait staff. we asked for the option of ordering our food as if we were at a table but we'd agree to eat at the bar if no tables cleared out for us by the time the food came. This idea was considered APPALLING by the hostess and the bartender.You should have seen their catty little faces all scrunched up as they crabbed to each other about our audacity!

      At first, this cramped little place seemed to invite with its charmingly rustic decor. Shame all that had to be ruined by the cattiness of the wait staff. When my girl and I walked in around 1pm, we noticed that two tables were on their ways to be opening up and even a moron knows that it's a lot more intimate for a couple to be sitting together at a booth or a table than to be elbow to elbow at a bar. With that in mind, and being as hungry as we were, we asked for the option of ordering our foo

      definately a place that many locals go. outside seating can be nice if you can get one. tab is always reasonable. everything else like service and food is EH. i have left with my party before ordering because the host/waiter was just plain rude and obnoxious. frankly, they need to get over themselves... but i guess as long as ppl keep coming.

      Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
