Victory Garden Cafe Reviews

After, searching a number of different places, I decided to visit Victory Garden Cafe. Right from the start it was a pleasant experience. I picked the menu and decided to also have my ceremony there as well. The Event Planner, Anna, guided me throughout the process. The venue provides in-house decorations and menu design free of charge. It was a great experience. My guests were amazed at what the space offered. The food was delicious and the cake was delightful and made by their bakery. Would definitely recommend. I will be planning more events here!

The venue and staff was great for my babyshower
The food was excellent
Everything over all was great

Fantastic garden location at the back, great food and service, will definitely use again

My bridal shower took place at Victory Garden Cafe. Me, My sister and mom planned it together and loved working together with Anna. I had a specific vision for my garden theme bridal shower and she showed excellent professionalism and helped making my bridal shower a success this past late summer. She guided me and my mom all the way and the service was excellent. My favorite part is their fun, optional arsenal of decorations (that’s part of the venue rental fee) that we were able to use at the party and it was super helpful since they had a nice variety and even modern decor— a very unique perk if you ask me! Not only that, Anna made sure to stay within our budget. They also did most of the decorating too. Another perk I loved.
The food and drinks were fantastic! They have their bakery next door so I definitely highly recommend to include their desserts and pastries as part of your event. Their Nutella cake was incredible! Everyone in the party loved it and kept wanting to take a piece home . Not too overly sweet but perfect since it was house made. There were different types of f&b packages to choose from for either brunch or dinner. The hospitality from Victory Garden was so warm and made me miss living in Astoria. It reminded me how special these local businesses are. I’d love to do another event here, and I highly recommend since it’s in a great area with ample street parking.

The staff at Victory Garden Cafe delivered exceptional service, contributing to an unforgettable evening for us.

My experience at this venue was amazing. Anna was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. The venue was beautifully decorated when I arrived, the food was delicious and the service was great! This was my second event here and I’m already planning my third!

Anna was so kind and wonderful. We had an excellent experience and everything went perfectly. I could not recommend this venue more. We were able to communicate clearly and efficiently and the staff was so so kind and helpful.

We had a small wedding dinner with 46 guests and a small budget, Ana worked with us to craft a set up that included all the elements we needed and decorated the place beautifully.

The food was incredible, the service was outstanding, we even had an extra last minute guest the day of and they were able to accommodate them seamlessly. Every single person on the staff is a 10/10.

There’s no parking at the restaurant, but there are some parking garages nearby.

We looked at 49 different places around NYC before deciding for this one, and couldn’t be happier with our decision.

I was looking for a place to celebrate a small baby sprinkle for my second pregnancy. This place did not disappoint. Anna was so accommodating and thorough. She explained everything and let me chose from inhouse decor and I couldn't believe the amount of options. It was so nice to show up and not have to worry about anything. We also were given complimentary spanakopita which was lovely. Great customer service, I will definitely be using them again.

This is a lovely setting for a small-scale event. We hosted a shower at the Victory Garden and Anna and staff were as professional, gracious, and helpful as possible. Highly recommend!

We used this venue for my cousin's Bridal Shower. Communication with Anna was excellent and she was really flexible with our needs and our budget. Everything was perfect and the service on that date was excellent. I would definitely recommend this beautiful garden. To add an extra touch we ordered a few things from Amazon to help decorate.

We held my son's Christening celebration at Victory Garden in the Spring of 2022. My experience working with them was FORMIDABLE! From start to finish, Anna made me feel comfortable and provided guidance with her years of expertise. I was looking for a place to celebrate my son's Christening. After visiting Victory Garden, I looked no further. The space was clean and beautiful. The blue wall looks even better in person. My idea to have a banner against the blue wall went out the window when I realized that it is a work of art. A small balloon garland and some flower arrangements adorned the ambience and were more than enough. Anna made the whole planning process easy, always responding to my emails and/or calls promptly. As far as the food, our guests all loved it. I could not he happier with the outcome. We had the strawberry shortcake. It was absolutely delicious! I will definitely recommend to friends and family

For my daughter's Bridal Shower we were looking for a venue to hold a Tea Party themed event. We looked at many places throughout Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island to find the right space. This went on for quite some time and my wife and I were getting quite frustrated. A friend suggested we take a look at Victory Garden Cafe in Astoria Queens.
We made an appointment to see Anna Sakalis the Event Manager and after a few brief minutes speaking with her, we knew we found the right place! Everything was perfect! She went through the menu options and explained how the space would be decorated and we were sold. She really put us at ease from the moment we walked in.
Well, the Bridal Shower could not have gone better. We met with Anna a few days before the party to finalize everything. We brought two car loads of decorations and party favors which she seamlessly and effortlessly merged with her decorations. Day of the party we walked in and the room looked beatiful. Anna and her team really did an amazing job. All of the food was terrific and all of the deserts which are baked on site were amazing. I would also like to give a special shout out to all of the staff at Victory Garden Cafe. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. From serving all the guests to making sure each plate was perfect and also helping carry the gifts out to the cars. They could not do enough to help out.
If you are looking for a venue for a special occasion, do yourself favor and go to Victory Garden Cafe! 5 Stars only because I cannot give more!
Thanks to Anna and her staff!

Everything was lovely working with Anna from start to finish at Victory Garden Cafe. She made my bridal shower experience smooth and we enjoyed every little detail of planning and having the shower. Our guests kept raving how good the place is and the scrumptious, generous food serving! It’s seldom you find a place that does everything including decorations. Top it with an amazing coordination from Anna and really nice waiters. We will be back to this venue for other event for sure! We loved every moment of the shower and planning too. The garden terrace was spacious, cool, and they even had the windows open to have the air circulation and also air purifiers in place for guests comfortability. Anna, thank you for making my shower so beautiful! We are so so thankful!

Anna and her staff are professional and extremely accommodating. The space was beautifully decorated to coordinate with the bridal shower color theme. The food was delicious--especially the chicken! Friends and family could not stop complimenting everything. Thank you, Anna!

We had a lovely time working with Anna from start to finish at Victory Garden Café. She streamlined the process of event planning and made our experience smooth while enjoying every little detail of the planning. She was professional and very responsive. It’s seldom you find a place that does everything including decorations. The garden terrace was spacious and cool with windows open to have the air circulate making it a great indoor/outdoor experience. We would go back for the dining experience as well.

We had such an amazing baby shower at Victory Garden Cafe! The service provided by Anna and the rest of her family and staff was world class. The food and deserts were amazing, especially the deserts, seriously the best! Anna took the time to help us during the entire process, she’s a true professional who gave us great recommendation and helped setup our decorations. I would highly recommend having a party there as they provide the full package and unbeatable customer service.

I found out about Victory Garden Cafe through a family friend. We we looking to host a very small baby shower during Fall 2020 for my sister and we were very fortunate Victory Cafe had an opening for us. From start to finish, we had a very pleasant time working with Anna Sakalis. We would highly recommend her and the VGC team!

Anna is the "Queen of Calm." The night before the shower she was un-phased when the headcount suddenly increased and the number of tables and the seating chart had to be revised.

We were told to bring favors and anything we wanted displayed in advance of the event so that we wouldn't be stressed at the last minute. When we arrived the room looked beautiful. The food looked so appealing and was delicious.

Our guests couldn't stop raving and asked how we'd found this gem.

Five Stars all around!

Had my sister’s baby shower here and the experience was perfect. From the delicious food to the beautifully decorated venue to the amazing staff, the party was everything I thought it would be and more. Anna was extremely helpful and communication between myself and the venue was easy throughout the entire experience. Would definitely use this venue again!

My Fiancee Tracy held her Bridal Shower at The Victory Garden Cafe in Astoria, NY on 8/29/2021. We were so pleased with the professionalism Anna and everyone showed us throughout the whole experience from the planning process to the end of our event! The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was attentive and courteous. All of our 30 guests loved it! It was also very relaxing to have Anna and the rest of the crew decorate the whole back of the restaurant with a mix of our decorations and theirs. Thank you so much to The Victory Garden Cafe!!!

Let me start off by saying this... Anna and her entire staff were a pleasure to deal with and I HIGHLY recommend them for future parties/occasions. Yesterday I had a small intimate wedding there, they were on-point with keeping everyone as safe as possible during this pandemic and party wise. They took care of everything including setting up the space to our liking, so we wouldn't have to stress about those things. The food was unbelievably delicious, and just the customer service was perfect. Thank you again, and we will def keep you in mind when we do other parties

If you are looking for an intimate wedding with a great ambience-this is the place. I had my wedding here last week and I couldn’t ask for anything more. The event planner and staff were very accommodating. They decorated the venue to my liking and the food and desserts were delicious! Thank you Victory!

We used this venue for our Wedding and it was the best decision we made. Despite the pandemic, Victory made us and our family feel welcome and safe and took all the necessary precautions. Everything was amazing, the décor, service, and food was beyond our expectations. Thank you Victory Garden Café! Highly recommend!

We had our children's first holy communion party at this venue. Despite all the restrictions due to the pandemic, Anna and the staff at Victory made our event extraordinary. The room looked beautiful and was spaced out enough to accommodate all our guests. The food was amazingingly delicious.
