I was impressed with Ovelia the moment I stepped inside.  The decor is beautiful and promotes a relaxing atmosphere. I have never seen anything like it.  They have an awesome garage door that we were told opens up when the weather is nice, I can only imagine how nice it is to dine there during warmer weather.(checking out the bathrooms is a must, very very cool)  The servers were all friendly, knowledgable & prompt with service. I went there for brunch & the selection was so good it was hard to choose just one thing...  I would have to say the food was EXCEPTIONAL! hats off to ovelia's chef!!!! Visiting Ovelia is a must if you happen to be in/near Astoria!
Pros:  beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, wonderful service, great value
Cons:  wish I could go there more!
