Dining Bar popolari a College Point

We had a good table for 4 in the back which allowed for a comfortable conversation at 5.30pm. Older people may need to bring phone flashlight to properly read the menu as the lighting is ambiently lit.

It was great! We were skeptical first. We have high expectations for New York and when we noticed it was inside a Hotel, we were nervous. Decided to give it a try and so happy we did. The ceviche and octopus were delicious, but what made this the best was the service we received. Dario was amazing and kind to us. They are very lucky to have him there. All and all a great experience!

Everything was fantastic! We were especially impressed by the pork belly plate. It was delicious and fun. The cocktails are really great (we tried 4), although the wine list could use a little life. The beer list is really interesting as well. Every staff member we talked to was enthusiastic and well informed. Can’t wait to come back!

I went with a friend for an early dinner Sunday evening, not realizing that the restaurant closes early Sunday evening. There was only one other table in use, I think by people who work at the restaurant. Anyway, we shared a salad and some yummy pork belly nuggets and then the fish stew. Everything was quite delicious. The service was more friendly then expertly professional, kind of homey, and we enjoyed that the chef came out to check with us. The decor is quite attractive, but simple - no white tablecloths here. I checked the reviews before booking and there were some that were very negative, but I just don't get that. This is a great place for the neighborhood and we plan on returning.

Good food and great service. Clean and tidy premise.
