5 /5 Melanie Eloriaga: I had a perfect and fun birthday lunch with my husband at Tootles & French! Exemplary service and unforgettable experience! The owner, Chad, and the manager, Fabio, are gracious, charismatic and meticulous! The joy they have while talking about the local businesses/purveyors they work with and private events they host puts a smile on your face because they have passion for their craft! For our drinks and food we asked Chad what he would recommend ended up ordering the flight of bubbles cranberry, rhubarb and black currant, coq au win wings for appetizer, the crabby patty with house made old bay fries for myself and the chopped cheese sandwich with fries for my husband. EVERYTHING we ate was scrumptious and flavorful! I am still thinking about that crabby patty and my husband was impressed with the chopped cheese sandwich! Props to their culinary team we love the food! The drinks were so refreshing I enjoyed the flight of bubbles so much that I ordered another glass of bubbles and tried the white peach and my husband ordered a glass of their house red! Just as I was telling my husband about ordering dessert, Chad is so sweet and came to our table and said he has dessert coming out and it was the best gelato I ever had! The flavor was fig and red wine gelato! It is house made! It was decadent and perfect to end the meal! If you want a memorable birthday, have a special occasion, going on a date, chilling with friends or family and want to dine and drink at a cozy and elegant restaurant go to Tootles & French! Go experience for yourself why they are the #1 Best New Restaurant in America 2025! Worth it and will definitely be back! Thank you Chad, Fabio and the talented culinary team! Thank you for providing Astoria with this neighborhood gem!
