Share Latin Plates and Tabletop Barbecue in Queens
Pass around skirt steak lollipops, seafood pancakes and drinks across two distinct dining rooms. The Alcove fills quickly and has cramped outdoor seating, a constraint for larger gatherings, while Sik Gaek features custom woodwork and traditional paper patterns.
Two Group Dinner Spots
Latin American Plates for Sharing
At The Alcove, build a shared meal around chimichurri and Parmesan fries or skirt steak lollipops served over greens. Cocktail flights feature on the drinks list. The dining room fills up quickly. The outdoor seating area is relatively cramped, a practical constraint for anyone arranging a larger gathering. Tuesday is the weekly closure. The restaurant also offers a five percent cash discount at its 49th Street address in Queens.
Woodside After Dark
Sik Gaek serves Korean barbecue on Roosevelt Avenue, with staff handling the cooking at the table. Crispy seafood pancakes offer another dish for the group to share. Custom woodwork and traditional Korean paper patterns decorate the dining room. Strawberry highballs are among the drinks. Closing time is midnight from Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday service runs until 1:00 AM, an option for a gathering that starts later in the evening.
Two Distinct Approaches to Table Sharing
The Alcove puts variety at the center of a shared meal, pairing Latin American plates such as chimichurri fries and skirt steak lollipops with cocktail flights. Sik Gaek brings the cooking itself to the table, where staff handle Korean barbecue alongside options such as seafood pancakes. The distinction is in what anchors the gathering, a spread of prepared dishes and mixed drinks at the first restaurant, or grilling managed by staff and Korean comfort food at the second.
