The Sugar Bar has a wonderful and open ambience. From the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave, they are attentive to your needs, efficient without pompousness, and simply warm and welcoming. The food is excellent, and they are willing to accommodate some special requests, like leaving off the salt in cooking fish, for someone on a low-salt diet. The decor is both beautiful and fascinating and warrants attention. Bravo, Sugar Bar. One of my favorite eating spots in New York!

We discovered this place when coming to an appointment in Astoria and we are all not living in Queens! This place is so worth the distance! Some of the best Greek food I ever had and I grew up in Astoria before moving to Brooklyn. Spinach pie is lien made by grandma. All seafood is tender and flavorful. Lemon potatoes are the best I ever had as well along with all the sides. Cocktails are well balanced and delicious. Service is friendly and welcoming. We keep saying we may try a new place but we just can’t because This place is soooooo perfect.
