This place is, hands down, one of my favorite hangouts in Astoria. The food is fresh and delicious and the options can range from super clean and healthy (300 Meal) to totally decadent (Grilled Cheese of the Day and Chocolate Tres Leches Cake)... so whatever mood I am in, I know I will find something there to satisfy me.
The bar has fun cocktail selections and a nice rotating beer & wine menu. The atmosphere is warm, artistic and comfortable. (The owners often say "Welcome Home" and mean it. They also have a different art display, supporting many fine artists by turning the walls into Gallery space) I've stopped in to have a quick drink with friends, a Sunday brunch with my boyfriend and have thrown larger dinner parties for special occasions and every time they handle the situation perfectly. That great balance of feeling well cared for and yet totally unpressured.
It is an understatement to say that the staff are friendly, cool and professional. I always have a great time at Fatty's.
