R40: Restaurant, Queens, NYC

Subtle smoke drifts down a long dining room framed by sleek wood, exposed brick, and dangling greenery. This Long Island City room centers on an open kitchen equipped with a custom parrilla where big meats sizzle over a roaring fire, alongside a seasonal backyard oasis. The locally sourced menu draws mixed feedback ranging from exceptional shares and generous parilladas to occasional notes of toughness and uneven smokiness.
