Even for most people in Astoria, this place is a trek. We walked about 20 blocks, with the cold wind blowing through us, to get to Stove and it was well worth it! The service is lovely and the specials are always varied and interesting. I ordered the buttered scallops with vegetables and they were incredibly fresh and delicious. The walls, decorated with ancient Irish lettering, complement the Irish-inspired food and the charming staff. It's the perfect spot for a date, to take your parents or to catch-up with good friends. Stove is a welcome newcomer to the amazing Astoria restaurant scene and one can only hope that it doesn't disappear like the late Le Sans Souci for which I am still mourning.
Pros: great service, delicious food, lovely atmosphere
Cons: out of the way location
