“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“I had the roasted chicken with the roasted veggies and it was amazing“

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“FANTASTIC! I have been to ALOT of ramen spots in Long Island and this is among the top 5% best ramen. I sat inside for lunch. Incredibly rich broth. Chashu that does not taste old or too much fat - it was amazing. They did not skip out on toppings. I really recommend this spot :)“

“What a great restaurant! Angelo and Oscar run a tight ship. Can’t wait to revisit.“

“The best food going back again .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Met some out-of-town friends here on a Sat at 11a for brunch. The atmosphere is incredible, not very crowded, with lots of outdoors covered seating. I got the farmer’s omelette which was nothing special. However, the ceviche was outstanding and flavorful. I highly recommend. My wife got the Fennel Avocado salad and octopus appetizer. She loved both. She only wished the fennel pieces were cut in thirds. The portions are average in size and prices more akin to NYC than Rye. But overall we were happy.“

“Went in as a party of 3 on a weekend. We lucked out and got free parking a few blocks away. In the morning this place is a small Cafe, but in the eve it is a bar with smallish menu. We all got cocktails and appetizers. Cocktails are $18 and are very strong. The hummus platter was $22 and we enjoyed the olive one a lot (no chickpeas?) The pulled pork sliders were OK and I enjoyed the wings. Tables are small and decor is modern.“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“Good food - good lunch set, good value for Greenwich. The dim sum special is great with lobster dumpling, shrimp dumplings and roast pork bun, hainan chicken is half a chicken with rice and sides. Nice ambience it was an italian restaurant before, so decor is very grand for a chinese restaurant, feels luxury!“

“Had my daughters bridal shower here this past weekend. The owner was very accommodating. The service was great, the food delicious, and the beautiful vibe of this restaurant truly elevated our event and made it a memorable day for the bride to be. Thank you to Billy the chef and the staff!“

“fresh and delicious! great customer service!“

“Food is delicious, staff are friendly and courteous and the view is so relaxing“

“Surf and Turf special was wonderful and service was well trained but what can't be trained is the kindness of the staff and the willingness to go above and beyond to make the occasion special.“

“simply, just for the fact that you can order the famous Di Fara pizza from Brooklyn at this location, makes this certainly one of the best hidden gems in the neighborhood.
They also offer lots of different dishes from several different restaurants, making this a very interesting place to go for a meal as different. People can order different dishes from different restaurants.“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Excellence at Every Visit
As many of my followers know, I don’t believe in one-and-done restaurant reviews. Real opinions come from returning multiple times to understand the consistency, quality, and service over time. That’s how a restaurant earns the label of being truly great.

Last night we returned to Piccolo and once again it delivered.

A warm greeting, a quick stop at the bar, running into friends for some laughs, and then a beautiful dinner with my wife in one of Huntington’s most charming dining rooms. Even with a lively crowd, the atmosphere somehow melts into the background and lets you focus on the moment and the person across the table.

Jeremy took great care of us while Jason stopped by to check in, something that always makes the experience feel personal.

We started with the wedge salad and a thoughtful complimentary tuna tartare that was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced with avocado.

My wife chose the Orecchiette Caroline — perfectly balanced with hot & sweet sausage, broccoli rabe, tomatoes, garlic and oil.

I went with the weekly special Braised Boneless Beef Short Rib with horseradish cream, rich jus, crispy onions, vegetables and mashed potatoes — tender, flavorful and beautifully presented.

We finished with their house-made carrot cake and cappuccino, which remains one of my favorites.

Piccolo continues to deliver warm hospitality, exceptional food, and that perfect romantic neighborhood atmosphere that keeps us coming back.

Some restaurants you try once.
Others become favorites you return to again and again.

Piccolo is one of them. 🍷🍝“

“Vauxhall has been one of our favorite places for a burger or the fried chicken sandwich. Yesterday, 5//7/24… we went for a late lunch. I decided to try the new Double Smash burger. It was by far, the best burger I’ve ever had. My wife had her usual, the fried chicken sandwich. We’ve never had anything but a great meal and drink at our favorite Huntington haunt.“

“Fast and excellent service“

“John (Owner) and Eric (bartender) are both great guys who fit perfectly with the creative small plates, generous drinks and warm, inviting ambiance. Add music on certain nights (check FB), and you have a winner!“

“Ok...after wanting to go for a while my wife and I finally went. Omg! We enjoyed everything we had. The flatbread pizza, seafood with pasta and the pork chop. Like wow...not enough room in my stomach for all the food. Keep up the great food.“

“Delicious food and great service!!“

“Fantastic authentic flavorful food“

“This is our favorite place. Live music, great food, incredible setting. Not to mention Russ and John run it perfectly.“

“Gatsby's Landing thank you for an amazing start to our year! Your staff and service was impeccable. The ambiance made for a relaxing experience. And hats off to the chef…. The food was delish. Five stars across the board ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll be back!“

“I ended up at Rustic Root twice this weekend. Once for lunch with my hubby. Great Caesar (we shared), followed up with delicious burgers and fries…best buns ever! I liked the vibe so much that when a friend wanted to meet up for a nice glass of wine, that became our destination. Super friendly bartender Hailey, pointed us to the perfect glass tonight. We paired it with a yummy flatbread to share. Great vibe, great food, great service!“

“This is a new restaurant opening in Oyster Bay, NY. This is real authentic northern Italian food. Everything was so delicious. Fresh made mozzarella, fresh hand made pasta. The flavors of these dishes really show how much thought and preparation they put into creating food like this and it really shows. I strongly recommend this place. It is a must if you love Italian food!!“

“Incredible night! Food was incredible“

“The chef here is a true artist, every dish that comes out is thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell there's real passion and skill behind the menu. The lighter, health-conscious options are a standout fresh ingredients, clean flavors, and dishes that make you feel good while still being completely satisfying. One small request, more ukrainian inspired dishes( or dedicated day of ukrainian cuisine) would be a great add!“

“Great atmosphere! Nice bar crowd! Phenomenal bartenders who are friendly and make the best cocktails. Food is great, especially their weekly specials. Be sure to join their loyalty program through their app for extra, to earn points and for special bonuses !“

“Nice atmosphere & a good menu of classics“

“I had an issue with my room facing the open atrium area and the noise level from the bar extending past quiet hour. The front desk manager, Stephen, immediately addressed my concern and moved me to a room in a more desirable location. I also found the front desk and concierge lounge employees to be very friendly and helpful. My room service attendant, Holly, made sure my order was as specified and she delivered it with a smile!! I really appreciated her kind demeanor. I felt my business mattered to everyone I came in contact with at this Marriott property and would not hesitate staying here again when my travels bring me back to Long Island.“

“This is a gem.
Been here 6-8x over the last few years.
Unexpectedly good level on the food. I love the Indian menu (probably better than regular one, but that's my preference).
Restaurant is in a hotel, so it's not a scene, but if you like quiet for dinner this should be an option.
Staff are always great and service is always high.“

“Very impressed with this BBQ. Up there with the best including Hometown BBQ, Fette Sau, Maple Tree in Riverhead, and my all time favorite Bobcat's Texas BBQ in NJ (which is sadly now closed). Definitely give it a try. Be specific with your order. Saucy, sauce on the side, lean, more fat, etc. Very good quality and I've had BBQ everywhere!NickOwner - nooks Organic, Roslyn, NY“

The moss wall art is STUNNING!

Staff is very friendly.

The whole restaurant and bar area is really beautiful. Wish they’d bring back dinner and happy hour so I could go more often with my husband and daughter. But happy to continue to visit for lunch until then :)“
