Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Arverne

The ambiance and service were top notch, and it’s nice to have an urban vibe here in my neighborhood. My only complaint is that the tables are a bit close together which made it very loud. This was prime time at 7pm on a Saturday night, so perhaps I’ll try it during the week. The scallops and Branzino (fish) were both delicious, and they make a good cocktail. I’ll definitely be going back.

The place was decorated adorably. Yes it was a bit cold in there but when we walked in it was warm enough and we were comfortable. There is a door in the back near the kitchen that is probably open/close so drafts might be coming from there. We went for dinner. If you’re looking for a rushed, fast-paced dining experience this is not it. My group was happy to sit, look around at the adorable decorations, converse and listen to the great holiday music. We were in no rush. As for food - think simple bar food. It’s not gourmet. Go down the block for that. As for the drinks - remember. It’s a bar … I had the campfire mule and it was a good pour! Beers on tap were all good. Hot chocolate was tasty but nothing fancy. Mrs. Claus was there and she was adorable! Letter to Santa was cute too. It’s lighthearted fun with simple food. Oh and the tater tots - we thought were plain but they came with Cheese and Bacon which was tasty but it wasn’t listed that way on the menu. Apparently that’s how Jack Frost likes them 😉

Felicia was present and pleasant always with a smile. Maddie was our waitress. She was lovely service with spectacular that was a band who sounded just like James Taylor. It was just a lovely evening. Food was superb. Bar was very crowded when we arrived at 6:15 x 830 I had cleared out a little bit

The food is always amazing! You can’t go wrong with Russo’s!!!

Delicious food, but the AC was not working too well.
