About
Dees

Growing up in Forest Hills, Chef Dee Arabian watched and learned from every aspect of his family’s Greek-Armenian restaurant. He loved hearing stories from his grandfathers—one who opened a pizzeria across the street from Bloomingdales and the other who served as the chef at the Grand Bretagne in Athens. After growing up as a busboy, runner, expeditor and prep cook, Dee knew he wanted to create his own restaurant in the neighborhood too, and to further that goal, he attended the French Culinary Institute in New York. There he trained under three of the most renowned chefs today: Jacques Pépin, André Soltner of Lutece and Alain Sailhac of Le Cirque. Today, Dee owns and runs DEE’S from the same building where he got his start as a busboy.

    I have nothing but good possessions to say about Dee's. I've been moneymaking to Dee's for over 5 years and I've never once had a bad food/server experience. The food is mediterranean inspired so there is a mix of options from brick oven pizza, pasta, burgers, salad, etc...The possibilities sound mediocre but they are served with such stylishness and are extremely flavorful!

    Lovely and quiet place. We had a blast reveling my son's second birthday. The waiter,unfortunately,I didn't get her name, the lady with blonde hair was very sweet and helpful. Everything was fresh and mouthwatering. I acclaim to try their signature steak,sooo good.

    Overall this is a good café. We went several times, and tried many unlike dishes from pizza to pasta. It is somehow elegant, and the service is quite quick. We tried their take out as well, and enjoyed their pizza at home. We will unquestionably go back

    We returned here last night. The food is good, but we believe it to be overpriced, specially when since the small portions. That's the only goal why I am not giving 5 stars today

    This place is my first pick if i poverty to eat, yes just eat good food. Its in my neighborhood so its a good place for me to go after work. Ambiance is amazing. My favorite dish is Argentinian steak medium done, i need it to be soft and juicy with steamed vegetables, no french fries. Its amazing. Honestly THE BEST meat i've ever head; i am so fortunate to have this place in my neighborhood. Occasionally i am ordering salmon

    Place was amazing, finally made it here for the chief time, I was pretty awestruck with the food. Air was great, very clean and well lit. The drinks were amazing, I had a mojito and it was one of the best ones I've had here in NYC. The food was amazing! Very good portion. Prices are moderately high, but worth it! Will definitely come again! Positively a place for dates

    This review is prejudiced. And I'll own that. I've been going to Dee's since I was 8 years old (I'm 23 now). Dee's is my comfort food. Chief meal I had when Id come home from school, last meal Id want before I

    Meh. This place is breaking my heart. The excellence has gone downhill, significantly, in the last year or so. I used to adore coming here, and the food was never mind blowing, but it was continuously consistent.

    I feel like I'm on an emotional roller coaster with this place. It's like it's back to standard!! The staff has been FANTASTIC and Armin & Anna helped make my parents 30th birthday party a victory.

    My recent visit was for a baby shower so I can't speak for all the menu items available. During the shower, we had the focaccia bread, fried calamari, and skillet meatballs. The bread was hot, light, chewy and crispy at the same time, and not bland. The meatballs were mediocre, but the calamari was delightful! It was tender and had a light batsman that wasn't oily or soggy

    Came for lunch with 3 other helpers, and we left extremely stuffed and gratified! For starters we ordered the calamari to share - it was friend to perfection! Every last crispy bite was gone before we knew it! My friends and I ordered the Fettuccini Chicken and Pesto, Rigatoni and shrimp, Dee's Salmon

    I went in with the desire to try some old school Italian food. Was a bit disappointed by the results. I previously drove at an Italian restaurant that served food since 1975. Significant this, I was familiar with how Italian restaurants run.

    The food is good but what you get for your money is totally not worth it. I ordered the linguine by the sea arrabiata and received 2 Tiny clams reduced than a gum drop and 3 mussels and I was told that's what is comes with

    This is a countless place to come and enjoy on Saturday or Sunday night with family and kids, or any night. They do have full bar, oven brick, and 3 feasting rooms. Excellent spot to keep kids busy and you have a great meal. They provide free Crayons for kids to draw on the paper tablecloth. Kids are busy eating and drawing you involve with them and your group of people to enjoy your time

    OMG. WINNER. Just came home from dinner here. I read the appraisals, but mostly looked at the photos on yelp and I am SURPRISED they are not a full 5 stars on yelp (at time of review, restaurant was a four star).

    We needed to book what ended up being a 40 person lunch on short notice (post-funeral.) The folks at Dee's took great care of our collection with only 24 hours notice even though we weren't sure how many persons would come. Great food and service...don't hesitate to do a collection event there.

    the greatest place to get real pizza ! Its so new and cheesy. You can taste it on the first bite ! Usually its better to get a reservation, but you can walk in. I never had to wait more than 20 mins to be seated. The waiters and staff are friendly. I love the pepperoni pizza !

    Prices are practical for the contemporary decor and they've recently expanded to two full rooms and a backyard patio. They'll need it, because even after heartrending down the block from what is now Danny Brown's, their lines can be out the door on a weeknights and weekends cheers to their hard work, passion and pride.
