The Clinton is really good as well. It's sort of pubbish looking inside, but the food is excellent - Italian. If you like Greek food, Kati Allo is also amazing and reasonably priced.

If you're looking on Bell, there are a ton of places, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

BTW, I just moved to Whitestone in May, and I'm definitely going to try some of these places....thanks girls!

We had ours at Tequila Sunrise on Bell Blvd. and it was great. They have a mariachi band most nights, and they decorated with balloon arches and had printed menus - both of which were unexpected treats. They had several menu options and beverage options to choose from, keeping the costs in line.

I grew up in Whitestone and I dont think the Clinton has a private room but MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM - the best food!!!!!!!! Looks like a hole in the wall but the food is amazing!

The White House is a nice choice, we had our engagement party dinner there. Monahan & Fitzgerald is also a great choice, their private room is really nice.

Donovan's across the street also uses their back room as a private area....typical pub type of food.

On a side note the Clinton(ville) has the best 'Garbage Pie' pizza...yummmmmmmmm and the Ray's House Special......

White House has that nice party room downstairs.

Re: Rehearsal dinner in Queens

I'm a Whitestone girl too and we had the rehearsal dinner at Donovan's off of Bell Blvd. I'm not sure how much it was a person, but definitely reasonable, (MIL paid for it), but the food was incredible and tons of it! DH is Irish so it worked out well.

I had my shower at the White House and that was great too! Food was incredible!

Re: Rehearsal dinner in Queens

Thanks girls. FH and I go to the Clinton all the time. He grew up down the block from the Clinton but they can not accomodate large parties or I would have gone with them in a heartbeat.

I'm going to check out Donovans & Monohans. I like Il Fagiano and I like the fact they have a back room but they are kind of expensive (like $35.00/head) if you want beer and wine.

All of your suggestions are appreciated.
