Flo Lounge Restaurant

This place was quite nice. Brunch was delicious, ambience was airy and fun during a sunday brunch hour. Service was mediocre but i know they tried-​it was a little busy. Would definitely visit again !

This is really a «Sexy Place» to go — after dark the ambience is really quite «sexy» a nice place to take a date or even just hang out with some good friends. I can suggest the Calamari Fritti appetizer and the Dip Trio — they are a tasty way to start the evening with a nice glass of wine — I’m a Sauvignon Blanc kinda a guy in the summer (yes I’m a seasonal wine drinker — reds in the cold months — whites in the summer) for my entrée I had Fettuccini Carbonara w/​chicken — very tasty sauce — really enjoyed it — my friend enjoyed the Ginger-​Soy Marinated Tuna… looked pretty — I took her word for it LOL — my other friend enjoyed the Boneless Short Rip with Risotto — I did taste that — I must say — was really good. We ended the dinner with this dessert that was not at all what I expected — Fried Oreos — OMG!!! I would go back just for those DELICIOUS served with Crème Anglaise — which tasted like melted Oreo filling… awesome dessert. Overall I find this a Very Good restaurant and would not hesitate to go back.

Flo is Flo. I live in the area so frequent the cafes with friends on summer evenings when I can sit outside and people watch. Flo is nothing amazing. The atmosphere is great, the service is alright. Food is not the best… and it is a bit expensive.
If you are looking for a European café to just relax and spend some time talking to friends this is a nice place to do that. Coffee is good and they also have plenty of drinks and cocktails. If you are looking to get food, you are better off choosing a place that is more restaurant than Flo. Flo in the European population of Astoria is better known as a café than a restaurant.
All that being said — I do come here on average once a month because it is a nice café to hang out at, and no one bothers you. You can sit as long as you want and you don’t feel rushed to get up and leave. Will keep coming back :).

Awesome Brunch!!! Came here for Father’s Day! The southwestern Benedict and angus steak meals were a hit!!!

Flo the Progressive Lady would be disappointed. This is textbook average food with above average prices. This restaurant would be considered high end especially given its Astoria location.
I knew I wasn’t going to be thrilled with my meal before walking in (and even before consulting Unilocal.My friend had already chosen the restaurant so I was pretty much stuck). There’s sushi and then there’s steak and American classics and salad. Usually places that take too wide a focus don’t get to narrow their execution and have a real specialty. It’s what’s commonly known as being a jack of all trades, master of none.
The 33 dollar chimichurri steak here wasn’t terribly juicy or tender, and for sure needed more seasoning, as did the side of sautéed spinach. Not worth the price but wasn’t also terrible.
The highlight of my meal was the spicy feta dip that was a part of my three dip appetizer. I’ve had spicy feta dip like this before and it was solid, nothing I’d change about it really. The hummus wasn’t particularly memorable but it was what I was craving at the time so I was satisfied. I wasn’t a fan of the guacamole at all. It just didn’t taste fresh. It was as if the kitchen bought that fake guacamole stuff you get at the supermarket, eschewing fresh avocados altogether, and just threw in some spices for good measure.
There are simply too much good places to eat at in Astoria. Maybe come here for a drink – it’s very spacious, after all, but it’s not worth the hefty prices for lackluster meals.

The restaurant tries to be euro style but falls short. The ambiance is not all that great for them to over charge. The chimichurri steak was half burned and half uncooked when asked for medium. The arruga salad came on top of the steak and made it warm and soggy.
The sushi & rolls– suitable for those who dont actually enjoy raw fish but everything that comes in the roll.
Cocktails– very sweet with a hint of alcohol and OVERPRICED.
The meal and drinks are too overpriced and its not even great.
Service is slooooooow… Took forever to get the check.

Came across this place actually by mistake. The original place that we were going to unfortunately we can never get in due to the growing crowd of hipsters that are migrating to the area. Fortunately for us it lead us here and what a great pleasure it was. We sat for brunch and to put it simply it was Amazing! The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Me and my wife will definitely be back and next time during the evening because we hear it’s a great place to come to at night.

This would probably be my favorite place in queens if it wasn’t so far for me to get there! Love the atmosphere, outdoor seating, and feel. I believe that Flo lounge works solely on their customer service. Very accommodating and insightful!
Food is ok at best but nothing to bring home about. Not to say that they don’t have some great dishes, but they can improve in a lot due time.
Love the live DJ and mellow house music. Adds a city feel too it! All and all, stop by and be the judge and the jury. Good for groups and first dates!
Until next time Unilocal Family!

The brunch menu is great. Many options to choose from for a wide range of different pallets. The drinks that come with brunch are sub par, not freshly made; the kind that come from store bought bottle. The weight staff is very nice, especially the dude with the face scar. He knows what’s up. Definitely worth another shot.

The waiters were so kind and sweet. We weren’t rushed at all even though we couldn’t make a decisions for what food to eat or what to drink.
We ended up getting pink sangria with extra strawberries on the side which was delicious. Its a very light refreshing drink to have for happy hour while sitting outside in the sun.
Also the sushi Taco was not half bad. Not a fan of the fried Taco but the inside of the taco was good. I wouldn’t have it again but I’ll be back again to try something else.

I enjoyed this place. Had a few drinks and some apps. Techno music played if your into it. A good place to just sit, eat and talk. Prices were moderate.

Went here on a Friday night around 9 PM for dinner. This place has changed hands a few times in the last few years. I always remember the bars/​restaurants occupying this place struggling for an identity.
The food was OK, but the drinks are a bit overpriced and there was almost no one here. It seemed a little unusual for a Friday night, during prime restaurant dinner hours when it wasn’t a holiday weekend. The server left us unattended for a bit too long for my liking. Their cocktail menu also seemed to have almost nothing on it.
The vibe here is a little odd. There was a DJ who wasn’t even playing good beats while we ate, and the bar area was literally empty. One good thing about this place is the outdoor seating which is great for people watching during the warmer months.

First time at flo lounge and sure did get a lounge feel loved the set up great background music not so loud seated promptly my waitress was sweet and attentive I believe her name was Meliz sorry if I am wrong. and the support team was very observant on bussing tables on time I truly enjoyed my dinning experience I highly recommend flo“s sushi taco, Godzilla roll and thirty avenue roll which all rolls were delicious !! Leave room for dessert chocolate lava cake && classic hot chocolate. Highly recommend to check this place out.

I don’t care what other Unilocalers said in their reviews. Our waitress was on point with everything. One day me and one of my buddies decided to come for brunch. It was a Friday and they had a Friday pre-​fixe brunch menu, including drinks. But just had tea.
Astoria is the place to go in Queens for food in my opinion. Flo lounge did not disappoint. Nice tables outside, and huge open dining area to bring that nice outside atmosphere inside.
Our waitress was lovely, got us our teas, and an appetizer of warm pita bread and small chickpea salad. My friend got an omelette with spinach and I got fried chicken and pecan waffles. The chicken did not have that fried greasy taste, rather it tasted baked and a smoky flavor. Waffles were yummy too!

I stopped in here for a sporadic brunch with some friends, they spoke highly of it so I figured ok why not. I’m always up for new food places haha! So, I gotta say it’s a nice big place! I do like the atmosphere and there’s plenty of places to sit and eat. We were seated very quickly and placed our orders. I also had a coupon courtesy of Unilocal for 15% off my order which was cool. Was my first check in here. The waitress got the manager over and he honored the coupon with a dessert suggestion or whatever we wanted– and that was fine. Can’t say no to dessert lol He was very nice and very attentive.
But I can’t say the same for our waitress though. I mean, I know it’s busy and stuff but if I gotta ask for my drink three times it begins to get on my nerves. I also asked for a Coke with my food and I never even saw the Coke. I didn’t bother to ask again because the sangria I ordered three times came out with my food at this point and I didn’t want the soda anymore anyway. The waitress seemed to be on another planet whenever we tried to get her attention.
Otherwise, when the food got to my table– it looked fantastic! I got the grilled chicken on sour dough with pesto, olive spread and cheese with a side of fries. As soon as I went to pick it up though– the entire underside was totally soggy. I guess from the pesto sauce. I don’t know– but I ended up having to pick it apart and not eat the underside of the bread. I couldn’t even hold it. I don’t see how it got that soggy from the time it was made to the time it got to me. I shoulda ordered one of the egg plates. My friend got the farmers breakfast and I tried some of hers and that tasted much better. So needless to say I won’t get that chicken sandwhich again lol I was also kinda disappointed with how long it took for us to get the food. I thought maybe they were catching the chickens live and making it from scratch lol
After that we ordered the fried Oreo dessert and that was amazing! We all shared it by having one fried Oreo and it really hit the spot! When the bill came I also thought it was pretty high honestly for 4 of us. But that’s Astoria now a days lol
I hear this place is awesome at night though– so maybe if I go back I’d try it when they have a dj and stuff and just get some drinks. Oh and the sangria I had was very good! Just the right amount of sweet haha

A little overpriced, especially for Astoria brunch, and with rather uncomfortable seating, Flo Lounge is a restaurant that could become a favorite with some tweaking. The service was good, our waitress lovely, and the restaurant very spacious and great for large parties.
Although I thought the prix fix brunch was a little pricey, the portion size of the meal is almost outrageously large. I got the Mediterranean breakfast and it was delicious – tasty with surprisingly good home fries. My friends ordered the French Toast sandwich and could barely get through half of it, it was so large. That being said, we all rather enjoyed our food!
There was also a quirky Mac n cheese pancake dish that was the special today and although I didn’t opt for it, I like that they have items off tee beaten path. If they still have it the next time I come back I’ll try it for sure!

The décor and vibe in this place is awesome. This place has great drinks and food. The drinks and food are a little bit over priced. I’ve had the flo wrap and Ginger-​Sesame Marinated Skirt Steak. Both were incredible. I’ve heard they have really good sushi here. Definitely going to be trying it next time.

We came here for a friend’s birthday party (the original restaurant didn’t work out so Flo was Plan B). It’s a nice, atmospheric modern space that had plenty of room on Sunday night around for an early dinner.
The prices were 20−30% higher than they should have been for the food, which was, generally above average but nothing extraordinary. The avgolomeno soup was tasty, love that zesty lemon flavor on orzo. The sushi taco I wanted was unavailable, so I got a dragon roll.
Our waitress was nice and service was fine though at times a bit slow to pick up on things (e.g., adding extra sets when new people came in, etc.). There was something just slightly under-​cooked about the space, crowd, and atmosphere for me, that made it feel like a place I could encounter on any business trip to Dallas or Seattle.
Overall, probably a 3.5÷5, but I’ll round it to a 3 for now.

DINNER Review:
Last night, 11÷29÷15, I came here with my boyfriend for dinner. We’ve been to Flo Lounge several times for brunch and i’m not much of a fan of their brunch however dinner is entirely different. We started with Chicken Strips as an appetizer, they were crisp and tasted fresh. Our server Adnan, (who is always amazing to us btw) brought us a Chipotle Mayo for us to try, it had a little kick to it but wasn’t too spicy.
For entrees, I had the Pan Seared Salmon. I was surprised as to how flavorful the dish was. It came with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach along with grape tomatoes. The salmon was crispy on the outside but soft inside. It couldn’t have asked for anything more. My boyfriend had the Steak Frites. He enjoyed his plate as well.
I think what made this trip to Flo Lounge the best was our service. Adnan is always great to us however yesterday we engaged in more conversation with Adnan and understood why he enjoyed serving us. I must say, if you want to have a great time here, see Adnan and he’ll take care of you. He’s such nice and easy going person to have serve you.
Definitely go for dinner! and get a Mango Mojito!

My boyfriend and I decided to come here for brunch last weekend. We went to Astoria without a place in mind and decided to walk around until we found a spot. There was a decent amount of people here and wanted to sit outside so we decided on flo.
We did the pre fixed brunch and ordered a mimosa and the southwestern Benedict. I am a huge fan of eggs Benedict and was excited to try this fun twist. Unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. There was so much sauce it was hard to tell what you were even eating. Between the BBQ on the pork and the chipotle hollandaise, there was just too much richness. Also, there was barely any pork and it was mostly just a thick generic BBQ sauce. After eating one of the eggs, I could not stomach to go any further.
I think the concept could work if they just executed it better. Lighter on the sauce and let the simplicity of the dish shine.
I will probably not return here, especially for brunch. Maybe they do better with lunch or dinner.
