New American Restaurants near Bay Shore, NY

“I recently had dinner at The Lake House and it was fantastic from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfectly matches its beautiful lakeside setting — it’s the kind of place where you immediately feel relaxed.

The food was outstanding — everything tasted fresh and was beautifully presented. You can really tell the chefs take pride in what they do. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed.

It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines great food, amazing service, and a view like that all in one place. Whether you’re going for a special occasion or just a nice night out, The Lake House is definitely worth the visit. I’ll absolutely be coming back!“

“Love John the bartender. Great food and atmosphere“

“Been here a couple of times. Once on a date night Thursday with my wife, another time for birthday party on a Saturday night with DJ C Natryl. He created a sick vibe. Can't wait to come back to hear him play again!! Nice little room that really is a gem. :)“

“My Husband and I stumble across this place tonight and couldn’t be happier about it! From the moment we walked through the door on a busy Saturday night at 7:00pm we walk in simply based on a great name! The hostess Deanna was lovely and welcoming we were able to sit right away! The food was absolutely amazing and so were the drinks!! But the star of the show was the staff our waitress Emily was the best we have ever had! Just the right amount of attentive that we never looked for her and always felt taking care up. The busser also did an amazing job never a dirty plate on our table. We go out alot and I can’t remember the last time a restaurant covered it all flawlessly Service drinks and food. We have already texted friend excited to bring them here! Can’t wait to come back keep up the amazing work!“

“Husk and Vine has been our go-to date night spot for years, so when it came time to plan my mother’s 70th birthday celebration, we knew exactly who to call—Chef Fran.
We wanted a Polynesian-themed menu, and if anyone could bring that vision to life, it was the Husk and Vine team. Chef Fran and his culinary staff are known for their creativity and fusion, and they absolutely delivered.

Chef took the time to listen to our ideas and dietary needs, crafting a menu that tied everything together beautifully. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was!

If you haven’t visited Husk and Vine yet, make sure you do. It’s truly a must-visit experience.“

“We had a very nice meal here back in October. Our server, Shannon, was outstanding and took excellent care of us. The location is fantastic, sitting right on the water and made for a very pleasant meal. We had the calamari appetizer (very good), the Sauteed Flounder, which was okay and not worth $40, and the Gourmet Burger. I thoroughly enjoyed the burger. Since we came over on our boat, we weren't drinking, but the bar area looked pretty cool. We will come back again.“

“Great consistent food. Priced very fairly. Great atmosphere. Enjoy seeing Todd O and Richie. It's like the 90s and Sprats. We are just missing Danny S.“

“We have our family dinner there The food is good. Miranda our waitress always does a great job. Thank you !!!“

“Came here for Sunday of the holiday weekend. Great atmosphere and awesome service. There were two bartenders, both super friendly. The guy bartender was dressed in an awesome 4th costume, and made us the BEST rocket fuels. I would come again just for him. He made our experience amazing and was not only friendly but very accommodating. Come here!!!“

“This family owned restaurant is worth the time and effort. Nothing fancy except good Greek food. We both eat in and take out The staff is so accommodating and friendly. Many times the owners wife and children are eating there. The grandfather works at the grill when not spending time with his grandkids Again, nothing fancy except for the food, the atmosphere and the people. Please go and enjoy home-cooking while eating out“

“Great place to go very safe and friendly“

“Had the best lunch today. Food was amazing but the server was even more amazing. Donna rocked it!!! I will be going back soon!“

“Absolutely love their cheese steaks! Service was fast and with a smile....cheese throughout sandwich as it should be...ribeye steak grilled perfectly. Well done!“

“I ordered online to pick up and my service dropped so I called back. The same gentleman answered and was very nice and patient, took my order and I forgot to ask for salt, pepper and ketchup on my egg sandwich and he kindly asked if I wanted to add it so kudos for the attention to detail. I arrived and parking is sufficient and it’s right off the main road so it’s easy to access. The Chinese lady greeted me at the counter and was genuinely nice and warm toned and asked if I was there for pick up. My breakfast was ready and she rung me up for $6 and offered me a free coffee which I declined. They sue take debit with a $5 minimum and they use a modern payment device so no pin is needed if you don’t mind that and paying is instant so no waiting on that end either, I was in and out in less then 3 min. The place had a decent amount of seating and was very clean and the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves. This place is a winner and sets the bar high for the other establishments in the area. I ordered an everything bagel with 2 fried eggs, sausage and pepper jack cheese (my only critique would be that they did put a very thin slice of cheese I would have liked to taste more of it) and it was delicious. Thanks again Bagel Express I will be back!!**** I wanted to mention I did NOT get napkins so not a big deal most places throw a few in the bag so I have been spoiled, just a note to management ****“

“Delish lobster!!! Also recommend the aging steak!!! Truly enjoyed our meal!!! Highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try! Prices are still good while everyone else's are ridiculously overpriced! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Sui's is a solid choice for standard chinese- american food. As a spare ribs, broccoli and fried rice guy, I can say that Sui's does the 'regular' dishes aa well as pretty much anyone else - glad that they are my neighborhood chinese place.“

“Tres Palm is Tres Bon!! Random pick while looking at the map. Great location in the sun, on the water. Had the lobster roll and that Hawaiian burger. OMG!!“

“The chop shop is fancy and nice service.“

“There are breakfast sandwiches and then there are BREAKFAST SANDWICHES. I am so happy that I stopped by to try the breakfast here. The eggs weren't drooping with oil, bacon and sausage were cooked perfectly. The ladies were extremely friendly and welcoming. Ordered 4 sandwiches and everyone really enjoyed them. Prices are extremely reasonable and will be coming here more often.

Came recommended from Rob at Superstar and glad I listened.“

“Absolutely wonderful! Came in for dinner last night (5/31) and had a great table right by the water. Even though it was very busy, our waitress Jenn was very attentive to the table and gave great recommendations on the menu. The crab bisque soup was excellent and the fish tacos were incredibly fresh tasting. For a first time visit, I was super impressed! I will definitely be back! Perhaps for lunch next time!!“
