“This place is my favorite place for dinner date with hubby! Love the sitting area outside by the fireplace and of course their food and wine!“

“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!“

“great service. fresh food. beautiful ambience“

“We had a Mothers Day celebration Sunday at this fabulous seafood restaurant. There were 15 of us- 9 adults and six children between 5 and 12. We traveled an hour to get there. The food was delicious- fresh, tasty and the portions were so large that everyone took a doggy bag home. It was served by a great staff including Angel who was our server. The owner, Donna, was very cordial and friendly. Everyone had a great time. We can't wait for our next family dinner to return. This is a must restaurant if you are a seafood lover!!“

“Just had a lovely, romantic anniversary dinner at Branzinos 110 tonight. The food was awesome as well as the staff. The atmosphere was great too!! Chad our waiter was very attentive!! Will definitely be back!!“

“On the advice of a friend who regularly visits Fire Island, our family of eight, including a four-year-old and an infant, had an amazing dinner experience at Albatross tonight. I was somewhat apprehensive because the restaurant's Google rating was lower than that of another restaurant where we had had a disappointing lunch the first day of our stay. So I wanted to write my five-star review as soon as possible.

Our positive experience began when we dropped by during the afternoon to get the hostess's advice on how to procure a table for eight people -- without a reservation! -- on a busy Saturday night. She told us that if we came before 6:00 they would probably be able to accommodate us.

This is exactly what happened. When we arrived we were immediately seated at a comfortable table near the window. The attentive waitstaff quickly took our drink orders and, shortly thereafter, our meal orders.

I was worried that our small children might become difficult while we ate two courses (starters and a main course). However, our server brought our starters quickly, and the main course soon after clearing our dishes from the first course. The timing was perfect!

The food was perfect, too. I enjoyed my New England clam chowder, one of the best versions I've tasted. The table shared top-notch oysters, steamers, fried calamari, and Buffalo wings. Our mains, which included grilled fish, linguine with white clam sauce, and penne with vodka source and grilled shrimp, were uniformly excellent, with quality ingredients and preparation. For example, the grilled broccoli that accompanied my barramundi was so flavorful that it transcended the norm for this standard vegetable.

With our meal we enjoyed a bottle of white wine at a fair price.

This review may sound too favorable to be true, but it accurately describes our experience. I recommend Albatross wholeheartedly.“

“Great cozy little place with the greatest staff and good food. It’s a must try“

“BEST TACOS ON THE NORTH SHORE. We stumbled into Ditch solely by chance and we are so happy we did. It’s a breath of fresh air for a rather stale Main Street in PJ. Very beachy vibes, feels more south shore LI than snobby north shore which is probably why I love it so much. The menu has a little bit of everything and everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. We ordered tacos, five different tacos so we could try a bit of everything. From the perfect corn tortilla to the pineapple toppings, everything was fresh and delicious. The owner Tracy came over to welcome us to his new spot and express his gratitude for giving the new spot a chance. Our server Brennan was working a busy lunch shift mostly solo and he still delivered a top notch experience. Very happy with our new discovery and we can’t wait to go back!“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“

“#weddingplanning Here is your luxury wedding venue with a million dollar View. No pun intended. Jonathan Berrios & James Hann made the planning and execution of the day so easy. And here is a secret...It was affordable. The food was incredible and plentiful. Great Chefs. Another secret...add the raw oyster station. We went with 100% out of doors and it was spectacular. Fits 100 easily. Places for shade and sun and a great gazebo for the ceremony. We can't recommend it more. We did our wedding but this could have been a 50th birthday just as easily. Another secret is bring your own acoustic player for the music. We had a friend play and it really set the mood for the day. So, The View in Oakdale is a perfect spot to start a life together, party for someone reaching a milestone or hell, just a great happy hour with friends on the water.“

“Everything was wonderful! We had a lovely luncheon!“

“The food is out of this world. The servers are professional and patient. My husband and I felt great, relaxed and we were able to talk unlike other restaurants that you can't hear people on your table.“

“Delicious food, great service and enjoyable atmosphere. Would highly recommend this special gem“

“Tried 1st time for dinner. Previously bought some seafood fro their market. Everything looked fresh and no smell. Had the mussels bianco and broiled catfish for a quick dinner. Both were delicious. Catfish was cooked to perfection! Will be back!“

“Exactly what you want from a beach bar / restaurant. Great music playing, a nice breeze blowing through the open windows, and a bartender / owner knows how to mix humor and sarcasm perfectly. The drinks are delicious, the prices are reasonable, and it’s just a stones throw to a beautiful beach. The bartender went out of his way to help me find beach chairs as well. Absolutely loved this place and so happy we stopped in for lunch and a drink.“

“I threw a surprise 60th birthday party here over the weekend and it was wonderful. I am so glad I went with this location for the event. We had an indoor cocktail party, it was awesome. Gorgeous venue with a beautiful view. Kayla, Darlene and Vanessa worked the party and they were the best! Lots of my guests gave me compliments about the staff, on how pleasant and attentive they were. It is stressful to organize an event like this and they really put me at ease and made sure that not only my guests, but also I had a good time. To Elyse & Marybeth whom I booked with, and to the staff who worked the event, if you are reading this - Thank you all SO much! I can't wait to come back.“

“Very good [Original] Muy bueno“

“You will not find a restaurant on fire Island that is better. From the food, the host, the bartenders, the food aervers. Our waiter Ben is the best in the business. Makes you feel welcome, one of the best waiters I have had in any restaurant experience. If I could give 10 stars to this restaurant, I would.“

“Servicio excelente, delicioso sabor de la comida“

“It was my first time there. My parents have been there before and suggested we stop for a bite! We tried about five different slices! OMG....the deep dish with pepperoni was AMAZING!! I decided to order a whole tray and take it home! We stopped by around 2:30. They didn't have any table service, so you ordered and brought it to your table. We didn't wait long for our food. The service was friendly. We will be back!! YUMMMMM“

“Never disappoints Great portions and staff Love the music and the atmosphere food comes out fast and hot love the decorations in the place overall a great experience“

“We were looking for a place to stop for tacos on way home . What a pleasant surprise we found this restaurant we wound up eating at restaurant. They couldn't have been nicer and the food was fresh and delicious. We both had burrito's and salad.
And cheesecake for desert They gave us tortilla chips for table that were delicious everything was great. We will definitely be back“

“The veggie was loaded!

The owner(s) know what they're doing. Dunno if they are chain, but they will make a Bronx-win if they replace the (bland) cheese.

Better service than most *****“

“Last night we (2 couples) went to Ruth Chris Steak House in Lake Grove, NY for dinner and had the best dinning experience we have had in awhile. It is now our favorite steak restaurant. The food is outstanding, compliments to the chief!! Also, I would like to comment on our waitress, Kim, who is terrific!!! She was so attentive to all our requests, took care of us all night. Also, the manager is a real gentleman, and he also made us feel comfortable and special. Without a doubt, this is the best steak restaurant on the Island, we have been to most of the upscale restaurants here and we rate this the best. If you want terrific food, great service, and a delightful ambiance, try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!!!“

“My husband and I have been eating here pretty much once a week for almost 20 years. We usually get take out and create our own in home date night. By far the freshest and most delicious sushi we’ve ever had. Period. They keep the menu very clean, as opposed to other places we’ve tried where everything is caked in sauce and all just taste the same. You will not be disappointed.
Favorites: Alan roll, Peter roll (as for extra sauce on the side), Cooper roll (not on the menu but was on their old menu. You can still ask for it) and the deep impact.“

“I will say one of the best Pizza and italian food in the area. If you like specialty pizza this is the place. I always order two slices of Palermo which is calamari slice with spicey. I usually have to wait as it is not always available, But definately worth the wait.The food is always good,The owner is always there and always friendly and is working just as hard as the other employees keeping things going.“

“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.“

“Nice Seafood Resto by the waters.“

“My husband gets Too Good to Go from you guys weekly. I had to leave and review and say that the BBQ Chicken Slice is amazinggggggggggg. Absolutely amazing. Everything from you guys is great, but this slice is on another level! 🤌🏻😚💕“

“Mike put on a great show for our scouts and then we enjoyed amazing pizza. I highly recommend them!“

“Small little pupuseria, the pupusas are delicious, great sauce and Cole slaw, they come hot, they are perfectly cooked, and their eggs and egg sandwiches are great as well. The food is clean, delicious, and the pupusas are quite authentic. whenever I have gone there, most of the customers are Spanish speaking and that gives me confidence in their authenticity. The people that work the counter are very friendly, accommodating, and they speak Spanish and English perfectly. The have ready made food and counter service but the kitchen food is cooked upon order. perfect place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.“
