I came here today with my wife and two children for brunch. This was our first time as we wanted to try the food based on reviews we read. Needless to say this was the first and last time we will be coming here. First let me say the food lived up to the reviews as it was great. We all really liked our food. The issue was the horrendous service starting with the hostess. When I arrived, and told her a party of 4 she was hesitant to sit me at the only 4 person table available. Even after I confirmed I had a reservation. Then towards the end of our meal we were asked repeatedly by the hostess, waitress and busboy if we were “almost done” then when we were finally ready to pay and leave I was in the middle of signing the receipt the hostess felt the need to again ask me if we’re we’re almost done. Even after I replied “yes we are paying” she again thought it was appropriate the tell me “well I need to move this table over there” this prompted myself and my wife to tell her she needed to wait until we got up. I have never seen such rude service, rushing us out when we not only had a reservation but spent good money trying their establishment. Rule #1 of hospitality is you don’t rush or be rude to a paying customer. What is worse is for all their rushing, there was not 1 person waiting to be seated and multiple other tables open. On top of us having to eat our meal listening to the waitress complain to someone about the tip another table left. It’s pretty clear why people do not feel the need to tip well here. It doesn’t matter if the food was good, my family and I will not return here again. As locals who live right on Ditmars Blvd, we will make sure all our friends and Astoria knows about our experience
