We enjoyed brunch for the most part. My girl friends and i past sevral busy brunch spots only to discovery a gem off the main drag . what a treat no long lines and we seated our selfs with service right away. At frist we where not impress by the menu witch was limited but when our server told us about a few items we got just what we where looking for fair eggs with fresh beans goat cheese and something that look like spinach it was ok, but I wish I would of ordered the french toast after seeing my room mate wolf down this dish that was stuffed with some kind of fruit and some kind of fresh strawberry sauce. everything was pretty to look at , but too much egg to eat it took up the whole plate and came with some type of potatoe that was great looked stange but tasted wonderful. service was fair, but the room made up for all that was missing. the old world look and feel made all of us feel like we where dinning at a kings round table. We even recieved some type of toast with butter and jam that made me feel like i was at my grandmother on holiday. the best part was the check very affordable i think we have found a new place to gather on week ends . Pros: decour Cons: limited menu more

I enjoyed dinner with my date there a few nights ago ,it was the best exprience I have had in a long time. I live in Queens and work in Manhattan when I asked my date what would she like to do she said go to france for dinner so a good friend suggested a new spot that was local called winegasm and wow we had arrived in europe with out the long flight. The decor was dark and chic I ordered a wonderful steak with melted blue cheese and a wonderful red wine sauce that blew me away and my date was very happy with the freshness of her salmon and how pretty it was plated and presented to our table.After finishing every bite I went over to complement the Chef on a great meal and was even more amazed when I saw the size of the work space in this open kitchen. I still can not believe that such wonderful treats can come out of such a restricting area the only word i can use is magic I thought that Guy must have a magic wand to accomplish what we where seeing with our own eyes as the wait staff scrambled to the roar of service yelled out by the cooking staff. My date said that she didn,t want her white rice because she was getting ready for her summer wardrob and before I could finsh my steak her fork was digging into my rice because her,s was gone. Our wine was the perfect match. The only let down to such a great meal was the dessert selection. I guest with such a delight 1st and 2nd course and such great wine and attention i expected an equally as great pastry chef sending out more magic. over all we will be back agian and agian and agian... Pros: The food makes you feel like your in a 4 star resturant Cons: needs larger dessert menu more

Upscale decor and cozy atmosphere 5/8/2008

by Athanael at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I found this wine bar a refreshing addition to the up and coming Astoria scene. The first thing that strikes you is the decor - dark wood dominates the space, and in combination with the subtle lighting adds to the feeling of warmth and cozyness. The wine list is very extensive and wonderfully diverse, and is accompanied by a light yet satisfying food menu. Some really interesting flatbread combinations on there - wonderful selection of cheeses also. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and we even got to meet the chef. The check was a nice surprise as well. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely be going again. more

Great local hangout, warm atmosphere, unusual wines, great menu 5/5/2008

by desieclipse at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I have some friends in Astoria and have enjoyed coming with them to this newly opened spot. It is a refreshing alternative to other bars/restaurants in the area - offering top quality wine and food without the treck into Manhattan. The food is both light and satisfying - they have some inventive appetizers and quite an extensive array of options, especially considering this is a wine bar. The wines are excellent and there quite a few options by the glass. The management and owners interact with everyone in the restaurant, making recommendations and pouring wines themselves. Overall, this place has a warm - local bar feeling with the upscale ambiance & menus that one would expect in Manhattan. I'm excited about the wine tasting classes and new events coming up at this venu! Pros: food and wine menu are great, ambiance is upscale, reasonable prices Cons: parking may be challenging more

Fantastic Atmosphere and Food 5/2/2008

by LaJoconde at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

From the moment you walk in, the place makes you feel welcome. The wine list is delightful and the owners are wonderful people who recommend you the best of what they have to offer. Great appetizers include great cheese assortment and my favorite roasted beets and baby fennel salad. I have brought many of my friends there since the opening and they always has a great time. People are starting to even come from other parts of town just to check them out. The place is definitely changing the face and feel of Astoria. I also heard they will be holding wine tasting classes in the near future. So definitely keep this place on your top 10 list to checkout. more

i had to fake my winegasm 5/2/2008

by gyrmanka at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

Never has it happened before that after a 3 course dinner and 2 glasses of wine I went to another restaurant to eat normal food. It is a wine tasting place that serves some light appetizers to go along. Don?t confuse this place with a restaurant and don?t take your date there! Too pretentious and expensive for Astoria. more

My New Favorite Spot 4/15/2008

by Tinkers at Citysearch Provided by Citysearch

I came to Winegasm with my girlfriends on Saturday night and fell in love with the place. Really cool spot. The decor is beautiful and the ambiance was perfect for a quiet girls night. The somelier personally recommended a few different reds for us that were great, and we shared two spreads one with goat cheese and the other with prosciutto and pesto. So good. We also tried the croque monsieur, equally good. The staff was really welcoming, and over all we had a blast. We will without a doubt be coming back soon. Pros: Decor, food, wine Cons: None so far more

has some good things going for it... 4/14/2008

beautiful decor, straight-forward but foodie-worthy menu (except the ""signature"" truffled dip...total baby-food texture), lots of wines to choose from. enjoyed meeting the chef, really nice guy, seems super enthusiastic about the menu he's put together. the down side is the rest of the staff, way too much attitude for this neighborhood. hovering, obnoxious. generally when i go out in the neighborhood i look for something relaxed and comfortable, but it was hard for my date and i to relax when our waiter (the somelier??) was over our shoulder the whole night. Pros: decor, wine list Cons: music way too loud, snooty staff more

Best	Great spot & the BEST Mac n Cheese! Winegasm is the perfect spot to relax with some wine and good company. I make it a habit to try mac n cheese everywhere it's available and Winegasm gave me a mac n cheese gasm......
Worst	over priced Really nice place, decent selection of wines and the staff has good recommendations but VERY small portions for the prices. Cons: portion size
