french, quality wine, sea food, moderate price, romantic, long island city
alright. we confess that we did go to queens for some french food. but the trip was more than worth it because tournesol is one of those hidden french eateries serving up moderately priced, but excellent collection of wine, and a wide variety of well-taken-care-of sea food. the service is very friendly and the food is more authentic than their peers. ask the owner/chef for recommendations and you will not regret it. the grilled fish on skewer served on a bed of veggies is something to try. if you want to impress someone with your know-how on french food, go here. bet even the french go here! :-)
fyi: if you are here in july or august, you may want to check out the 'PS1 Party'. Its kickass!!
