R40

From the moment we walked in, R40 delivered a true five-star experience. Warm greeting, intimate atmosphere, and a room that feels thoughtfully put together without trying too hard. Service was excellent. David our server was attentive and precise, and the general manager stopping by our table was a great touch. The pacing felt natural and unforced. The food was outstanding. The skirt steak was perfectly cooked with clean, intentional plating, and the red snapper was bright, crisp, and well balanced. This kitchen clearly understands restraint, proportion, and timing. The cocktails were equally dialed in and thoughtfully executed. Everything worked together seamlessly. Food, service, and atmosphere all aligned. R40 is doing something special, and I’ll definitely be back.

Pretty good spot,, but prices are a bit steep For the type of food. The pasta was rich, the fish excellent but next time i will stick to steak. Enjoy

My first time here, everything was just perfect. I wanted a nice date with my boyfriend and the lights, the jazz live music and the food made everything just perfect. Shout out to Allison, our server, for so friendly and delicate service. She dame sure that we had our food as we wanted and at the time we wanted. My favorite dish was the crab empanada, it was different from what I’m used to but that empanada just hits different. The atmosphere was calm and nice. Remember that the live music is only Wednesday. Great experience, we will definitely come back.

We arrived 5 minutes prior to reservation but waited around 20 to 30 minutes until our table was ready. Service was amazing, the wait time can't be blamed on the staff as those who occupied the table we were waiting for seemed to just be sitting there sipping water. The food was amazing overall and staff was very friendly. Totally would recommend the wings and rosemary fries!

We had an amazing dinner at R40 LIC! Everything we ordered — the Arroz Negro, Arugula Pesto Gnocchi, and the 10 oz Prime Black Angus Skirt Steak — was absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was just as wonderful — everyone was so friendly, and our server (the tall gentleman) was especially kind and attentive. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Long Island City!
