Reef Forest Hills: $2 Oysters, Happy Hour Mon–Fri 3–6pm
Reef, a seafood and steak restaurant at 108-02 72nd Avenue in Forest Hills, runs happy hour Monday to Friday 3–6pm and Saturday 3–5pm: $2 Blue Point oysters, $5 swordfish tacos, $12 mussels, $10 cocktails and wine from $7.
The verdict: $2 oysters are the headline, and they’re the real thing, not a two-oyster limit with a drink purchase. Add a Saturday window, which most Queens restaurants skip, and it’s a strong seafood happy hour for Forest Hills. The 6pm finish is early, so it’s a late-lunch or leave-work-early deal.
