New Cuban Restaurant for Former Family Restaurant Space

A reader tells me that the former Family Restaurant space on Queens Blvd. will become a Cuban restaurant similar to Guantanamera in Manhattan. They told her they hope to be open in about two months. UPDATED: She also told me she thinks they may be the same owners as Guantanamera (not Family Restaurant)...

The Family Restaurant Closes

I first heard about this over the weekend, but wanted to see what was up before I posted anything. But The Family Restaurant, a long-time favorite of many Forest Hillers, and one of the older restaurants along that stretch of Queens Blvd., looks like it has closed. It has been closed for several days now...

I think I went to it once, on the advice of a friend, after moving to Forest Hills. I found the food to be just okay, not good enough that I wanted to go back. In fact, I'm not positive, but I think this might be the first post I've ever done about them.
