Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Howard Beach

Beautiful restaurant with outstanding service. The food is spotty. The fried chicken was dried and overcooked - had to send it back. The sweet potato bread was bland and in desperate need of the delicious accompanying herb butter. The burger was very good but hardly "the best in the city" as our server informed us. The mushroom pizza with it's bountiful array of earthy, "freshly foraged" mushrooms atop a crispy wheat crust was excellent. The fact that you pay a king's ransom for the pleasure of dining at this Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant made it somewhat disappointing. I'm happy I went but wouldn't go back.

I rarely write reviews but wanted to share this. This is a restaurant primarily attractive to a young crowd eager for the drink special in the prix fixe menu. When we arrived (7 months pregnant and two kids under 10) they immediately worked to seat us quickly, then dispensed with the prix fixe because it didn’t make sense for us since 3 out of 4 of us couldn’t drink. Love the thoughtfulness. Food came out quickly, hot, kid friendly pasta options without insane portions. Great option.

I loved the food and drink, I had the Hibiscus 🌺 Margarita it was delicious.

This is the 3rd time we have gone here during our visits to NYC. First time was on a whim due to an unpleasant experience at another steakhouse during a previous visit. Steaks were great as were the scallops. Plenty of choices for appetizers, salads and sides. They will accommodate reasonable requests. Not as nostalgic as Peter Luger’s, Gallagher’s or Frankie and Johnnie’s but the service and steaks are as good if not better. It is a little pricy but that seems to be the norm for NYC steakhouses. Interior is more of a modern vibe with a nice open bar area and tables well spaced. Good wine list covering most desires. House choices for wines are also very good. Will likely go back again the next time we are in NYC.

Christmas Eve amidst decorations galore! First time at Oscar Wilde and hope to return on another visit to NYC! Highly recommend!!
