Living in New York means that you are accustomed to having it the best. Waterfront view apartments, superb fashion, and of course fine cuisine. However, there is one problem. And that is: Where do I want to eat tonight?\r
Well, one thing is for sure this is not easily answered. Whether you are looking for Chinese, Italian, Spanish, or Greek, New York has it all. That is especially true in the outer borough neigborhood of Astoria.\r
Michael's Restaurant, which is located at 33-17 Broadway, Astoria, N.Y. 11106 delivers on quality of food, service, decor, and pricing. Whether you are in the mood for a lamb chops prepared Greek style with garlic, lemon, and potatoes, or a traditional gyro, this speak easy caters to all taste buds.\r
Some regulars think of this place as a diner, while others consider it a restaurant. Having come here for over 2 years, I am not too concerned about what it is but how delicious the food is. And at Michael's it is EXCELLENT!!!!\r
I generally like to order the roasted chicken panini or the lamb chops with potatoes. It depends what mood I am in and what time of the day it is. No matter what the case may be, I am still satisfied on all of the dishes that are served here.\r
With years of experience going to restaurants and owning them, I can tell you that Angelou, who is the owner of Michael's Restaurant executes flawlessly. His staff is friendly and his food is superb. What else can one ask for?\r
Well, he also has special pastry chefs that come in to prepare the fresh deserts. Whether you like cheesecake, rice pudding, or chocolate moose, there is something here to suit your needs.\r
The restaurant is open 24/7 so there is no need to book a reservation, except for holidays. That's when it can be hectic. But don't worry, Angelou will take of all of your party needs. \r
My suggestion is to order ***ANYTHING*** on the menu. Once you dine at Michael's you will not go to any other diner in Astoria or New York for that matter. Go have some food and tell Angelou that Marc sent you.\r
