Best Historic Restaurants in Throgs Neck

Great venue, but a little pricey for a first date!

A dinner leading up the Christmas week at the Oyster Bar needs to be on everyone’s agenda when in Manhattan. The ambiance, vibe, food and service are spot on.

Golden beet salad was great and they were generous with the beets. The wild mushroom bread appetizer was phenomenal. Great sauce (almost like a stroganoff). Steak sandwich was served w an au jus and was juicy. My bride had the lobster Mac and cheese. Very buttery and rich. Perfect lunch. Despite being a little early they sat us before our reservation time. It was our anniversary and we got a special card and great complimentary dessert. Over all wonderful meal

Andrea was our waiter and she was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I did a flight of their vodkas- very nice experience. I would recommend the Jewel of Russia. We had the stroganoff, duck and sea bass. It was all wonderful but the duck was over the top!! Dessert wise- very disappointed in the Baked Alaska but the blintzes did not disappoint. Abbey, manager made us feel very welcome and valued. Highly recommend!!

To be fair, we were a party of 13. Not S&W fault, our table was delayed to due guests who wouldn't leave after paying and we were seated almost an hour after our reservation. The staff was beyond impeccable, but the main course, though delicious, came out warm to cold. Our only complaint. One of my guests, who had ordered lobster, had their dish ice cold and did not eat it at all and S & W graciously removed it from the check. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time.
