“Never order the liquor. First, let me say the food is wonderful. The servers are quite kind. But again, DON'T ORDER THE LIQUOR. I asked for an Old Fashioned at first; I saw they had a collection of whiskey, so I figured it wouldn't be that big of an ask. Unfortunately, neither the server nor whoever they had working behind the counter seemed to know very much about making drinks. So instead I just ordered a Jack & Coke.$12.95 for a freaking Jack & Coke. That's insane! They'd make back the bottle in 3 drinks! Jack Daniels is NOT pricey. I've paid less for elevated cocktails in the city. And had they given me a good cocktail, I would've said that was a fair price. But no, they gave me a splash of jack with a heavy dose of soda. That's $8 max, not $12.95. I should've known better than to order it when I didn't see the liquor menu, I guess.Aside from that, the food is some of the best on the Island and the service is phenomenal. Tip 'em well, they deserve it.“

It was fabulous-I loved the variety and tastes of this vegetarian platter. We had dinner and drinks and coffee and not 1 negative thing to say. Roman, our server was wonderful! They made our evening even more fun! Thank you!! Can’t wait to come back!!!Vegetarian options: I love the vegetarian and vegan options. I am mainly plant based but enjoy a fish when I go out. But knowing Tula’s has such an expansive vegan menu I will definitely be dining here more often.“

“A hidden gem on Long Island. Everyone should know this place by now.Don't know where to start? Read the menu entirely, and you will know that the chowder soups are the best. Do not skip these soups. You'll want a bowl, not a cup, and even then, you'll be asking for seconds. Don't sleep on the seafood bisque either. Definitely buy some to take home.The appetizers were a bit small, but with the prices of everything these days, you get what you paid for. The crab cakes were delicious and full of crab while other places go heavy on the breading instead.We ended up having the shrimp boat, shrimp po boy, blackened catfish tacos and shrimp salad. Everything was flavorful. Big portions as well.I do believe they are closed for the month of February but I will be going back myself when it opens in March.“

The staff was very nice about it ,but now I know that the next time we come here, maybe we'll just stick to bar food. But overall it was a good time and we will return“

“AMAZING! We had a private party here and everything was perfect! Our guests have told us this was the best party and keep raving about everything! The food was delicious, as was the bourbon selection/drinks! The music they arranged for us was terrific! The service was top notch! The ENTIRE staff was so attentive, friendly and helpful! I could not have asked for a better evening for my husband's birthday. Chris was so helpful in arranging everything with me and had great ideas, as did the chef with the menu. Joe was fantastic in helping make sure the night was a hit. They even gave my husband a birthday gift, wow! I wish I knew everybody's name to mention them each individually because they were all so GREAT! We can't wait to go back for dinner and to try their other places. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to book a party or for a fun night out for dinner and drinks. Again, thank you all so much for making my husband's night truly magnificent!“

“On August 19, 2023 we had our daughter's bridal shower at the Bayshore location. From the moment we met Brendan to discuss having the shower there to the day of and working with Shannon, I can only say how grateful and happy we were with Everything! Shannon worked with me to make the day wonderful and I can't thank her enough. The room was perfect, the food was delicious and everyone had a good time. There was an elevator that came in handy bringing decorations in and for those who climbing stairs was difficult. I definitely would come back for other occasions. Both Brendan and Shannon were very accommodating and available for any questions I had along the way.“
