    We ordered 3 dishes. 2 were fine. I ordered the dish of the day: Cassoulet The beans were fine. I found 2 slices of sausage, a 1 inch chunk of pork belly and shreds of chicken - way overcooked - which immediately tasted spoiled. Nothing worse than spoiled meat. (no duck or confit). I pulled the chicken out of the dish to the plate as a sign to the kitchen that it was not edible. I told the manager, discreetly, when leaving as I was a guest of family from overseas and did not want to spoil their invite. The lighting is depressing.

    My chicken confit and my friend‘s steak were terrific. We enjoyed our wine and were served our meal in a reasonable timeframe. The peach Melba had a lot of whipped cream but not many bites of peach, and I did not taste the raspberries. The party next to us could have been placed much further away from us to decrease the noise level. I‘ll be back to Chez Olivia but will request a move if its staff doesn’t consider the need for my guest and I to avoid a noisy party nearby.

    We both had duck, the confit for me and the duck with orange for my friend. Mine included potatoes and salad, and hers had zucchini al dente. The Muscadet and Tarte aux pommes were magnifique, and Moussa served us very cordially. I hope to return soon to Chez Olivia!

    Excellent food! The seafood dishes, in particular, stand out for their freshness and quality but everything on the menu is delicious. The staff is always attentive and friendly and the ambiance is casual and comfortable. Great place for both a quiet date or talkative group. Inside the main dining room is a little classier and quieter, out back is a fully covered yard which feels a bit more casual and tends to get a bit louder than inside. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Absolute gem in Astoria. The small street footprint can be deceiving as you walk through to a spacious seating area in the courtyard at the back of the restaurant. The staff is super friendly which is a nice addition to any dining experience. But the star of the show is the deliciously authentic French Food that shines from the appetizers, to the entrees and ending with desserts. You will not be disappointed.

    Great food and service. Interacted with the host, wait staff, and owner, all top notch. Food was delicious French bistro fare. Accommodated our child with a simple meal that was not on the menu which was greatly appreciated. Bustling atmosphere for Mother's Day lunch. Would come back again and again for a special occasion or just a simple night out again.

    An absolute gem and easily one of the best restaurants in NYC, let alone Queens. Each dish is more tasty then the next and all are made in house, including the desserts which seems to be an anomaly these days. Staff is very friendly and attentive, but in typical French fashion leave you to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Food Highlights: - Foie Gras is an indulgent must try. - Coq Au Vin is delectable and prepared with their own flair in a red wine jus. - Boeuf Bourguignon similarly prepared in a red win jus, with fall apart braised beef to die for. - Blanquette De Veau is a delicious veal stew in a white cream base that is wonderfully different than the norm. - Potato Gratin is a fabulous side dish that is pure comfort in a bowl. Will continue to be a regular diner and cannot wait to try their brunch which looks just as good as the dinner menu!

    From start to finish this restaurant delivered. Friendly staff who are able to keep everything moving even though it’s constantly busy. Every piece of food was perfectly done. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a quality French meal and an enjoyable night out. Treat yourself to a cocktail, too. Mocktails also held up lovely.
