“Came in just before closing because of a dance recital that ran late. We were welcomed and told don’t worry have a seat. The owner was patient, helpful, and polite. We had an amazing meal and everyone was very happy with their choices even our token vegan. I’m a huge ramen fan and this place is the real deal. From their house made broths and authentic ingredients it is all top shelf. Can’t recommend it highly enough.“

“Visiting my childhood home town from Boston. Childhood friend and I drove by Bayview Kitchen on our way home. Initially thought it was a kitchen reno store then realized it was a restaurant. Decided to try. Always up for adventure. What a WOW! Staff from entry to restraunt were warm and friendly. Love the decor sleek and so clean. Service was great. Now the important part..the food. We both had the j*** chicken tostada which was super delicious. Ingredients were so fresh.. Right amount of spice and ingredients with a nice kick. Got a chance to speak with owner and chef. They were so proud of their restaurant and looking to hear our thoughts on our meal. We told them it was extra special. They are looking to provide fresh quality soul food to the community and I would say they exceeded our expectations. Wishing them success and looking to return on my next visit to Amityville. The outside stone work decor is so beautiful. Thank you for a great food experience. Give this place a try I believe you will not be disappointed.“

“I just had another amazing lunch at Zest. The portions are VERY generous and the food is always amazing. The chef is a culinary artist.“

“This is my first time ordering food from Fat Boys Burrito for my meetings (grilled chicken burritos, bang ban shrimp tacos, guacamole & chips). Their food is absolutely delicious. The variety of dishes offered, quality service and presentation is exceptional! I will definitely be ordering again. Thanks Tony and team!“

“Absolutely the best empanadas also my favorite Buffalo chicken empanada is the best around same with their platters best everything.“

“Delicious Food and wonderful service!“

“I had the best experience with empanadas last week at the Grove City Food Truck Friday event. As a food truck owner myself I know when food is made with love and made authenticity. This food truck is taking me back to my childhood memories. The flavor of the food on this truck is absolutely amazing. My husband and I were absolutely mind blown. If you see this truck and it has a line it’s worth the wait. Don’t pass it up mis amores it’s truly amazingggggg 🫶🏼🩷🤤“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“Thai Green Leaf is my favorite. The staff is unbelievably friendly and they always make my order how I love it (pad thai with dried tofu, extra lime). I have had occasion to place a few large orders (I am trying to introduce all my friends to the deliciousness) and everything is always fresh and fantastic). I honestly can’t say enough about this place- they really are wonderful!!“

“Holy smokes…literally! Dare I say the best BBQ I’ve ever had in New York? I’ve had ridiculous BBQ all over the country. This brisket is LEGIT!!! Maybe a top 2 or top 3 brisket I ever had. Passed the tug test with flying colors! If I had to nitpick anything it would only be a slight lack of a smoke ring? But the smoky flavor was definitely there and juicy AF! The ownership is amazing and super friendly! Your life will only be better after eating here. Y’all need this BBQ like now! Do it 🤌🏻👊🏻“

“The food is so fresh and delicious every time. Excellent service as well! I highly recommend.“

“Always the best, food is delicious and very consistent, the staff is exceptional.“

“The food is amazing ,every dish. The portions from the appetizers to the meals are above the average restaurant.“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“My first visit and it won’t be my last. The option of either family style or individual meals is ideal. Our group did both. Portions were generous. Food was delicious. Birthday person in our group got a free dessert. They were very attentive. Looking forward to going back!“

“Been to the Lakehouse several times and this was our best experience. Let's get the negative out of the way first. God forbid you want to sit outside. They don't take reservations for outside (understood). Every time we arrive - we are told it will be 3 days (exaggeration) before a table will be available. We are seated inside. Two tables almost immediately leave plus one table is empty and obviously reserved. As a hostess, you should know who is done with dessert / ready to pay their bill. The way they handle outside seating is frustrating. All that said, our food was fabulous. The pork chop, salmon and cod - all excellent. Our server Alex, was friendly and attentive. He helped make the night as servers can do. I can't wait to eat my leftovers!“

“Yokohama is a neighborhood Gem!!! Jen and Tony are always there to help and greet you with a smile.. The serving team are so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing whether you have hot food or sushi. The sushi menu is diverse and the sushi is is flavorful and well-balanced. The atmosphere is friendly, energetic and comfortable. My friends and family come to Yokohama all the time and we love it!! You will not be disappointed.“

“Great mixologists! A real treat.“

“Had the best private party experience! We booked my sister's 30th surprise party this past weekend and the staff was excellent and accommodating as well as the event coordinators we were in contact with prior to the event. I highly recommend booking a party here!“

“Excelente comida , riquísimos cócteles 🍸 y la atención del personal excepcional !!“

“only complaint was how busy it was and I can totally understand why. everything was amazing steaks and italian food alike. I'm super picky about my food and I was shocked how great everything was. I live an hour away and am already planning my next visit back. my new favorite restaurant. highly recommend“

“They always have great bands.“

“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.“

“Freshest-best-sushi-ever!!!“

“Been good since the restaurant was across the street. Fabulous.“

“Very satisfied with my dinner here. High quality fish and amazing service. Food was top tied. Very good experience, highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Angie’s Soul House is hands down one of my favorite spots on Long Island. The food is made fresh every single day, and you can taste the love and care that goes into every dish. It’s hard to find good soul food on Long Island but, Angie’s gets it right. Everything I’ve tried has been amazing this place is a hidden gem and definitely worth the trip.“

“First time here today, what a great place with great people. We were a group of 4 and everything was amazing. Even got to talk with the owner Peter and his wife. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Even though I have to travel from 5 towns over, I will do it time and again because I LOVE everything about Mama's. Their Chicken a la Mama, as well as their Granma Vodka pizza brings me to my knees without fail. I'm a bit picky (like extra lemon butter sauce and garlic knots please) but the staff always gets it right. You KNOW a restaurant is top notch when the staff smiles from the moment you walk through the door until you leave. Thank you for everything Mama's. I'll see you again VERY soon. Dont change a thing....“

“I have had Isabella’s pizza and hero’s before but never a pasta dinner. Now I know why. I did not enjoy it at all. I ordered lasagne with chicken parmagian and meatballs. The lasagne was mostly chicken, hardly any lasagne. The meat balls were good. I was’nt to crazy about the sauce. I will still get pizza from there but not a dinner.“

“Great atmosphere, music, and amazing staff!! Food is really delicious! Would definitely come here again and again. 😊💕“

“This place has excellent food all around. The wings are big, cooked to perfection and all of the sauces are delicious. John the owner takes pride in his business and it shows in the quality. Go here for a bite, beer and a game.“

“5/5 stars! We had an awesome experience at this place! Amazing food & cute yummy cocktails! This is my new go to spot!“

“Right Coast Taqueria provided our lunch for our Teacher Appreciation week in Smithtown. The faculty raved about the food and presentation!! They accommodated food allergies. Great business to work with!!“

“Recently, we enjoyed a great night with friends. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! We will definitely be returning.“

“Just left Great South Bay Brewery. You gotta check this place out. It's in this warehouse set back from 5th Avenue, kinda unexpected, but that's what makes it so cool. The vibe inside is awesome, really chill, but still feels pro.

And the staff? Seriously top-notch. Everyone there is just so good at what they do, super laid-back but on it. Also above and beyond helpful. I had a flat tire right as I was leaving, and one of the bartenders, I think his name was Mark, saw me struggling. He came right out, no hesitation, and helped me get my spare on.

The crowd there is great too, a real mix of people, which just shows how vibrant Bay Shore is. And the beer, oh man, just a huge variety of nothing but high quality choices. And don't sleep on the food! I was honestly shocked at how good it was, way better than your typical brewery grub.

It's just an incredibly impressive operation all around.“

“Everything that my family have eaten from this amazing place has been delicious! Only one more item left to try which gives us a reason to go back ! Then plan to do a lot of replete orders.“

“Great food, good service, friendly atmosphere, I always enjoy their specials and the ribs every time I am in town. 👍👍👍“

“So authentic and great service! The worry dolls were an added bonus as I was there with my daughter. Perfect birthday, love the philanthropy also! Guacamole was the best I’ve ever had.“

“Sakura is a hidden gem and hands down my favorite sushi spot in the Hauppauge/Smithtown area. It’s a small, family owned restaurant, and Maggie and her husband go above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. They’re always so kind and attentive, which adds a personal touch you don’t often find.

The food here is incredible. Every dish is packed with flavor and always fresh. My absolute favorite is the shumai soup it’s my go to comfort food. Their torched rolls are consistently amazing, and when I’m looking for something on the lighter side, the diet roll is a great low-carb option.

Also worth mentioning: the fried rice is generous and perfect for sharing, and the crab salad is a must-try so refreshing and flavorful.
I come here for the quality of the food. If you’re in the area and love sushi, Sakura is a must-try.“

“The tasty food options are always changing, with some favorite staples remaining. The cocktails are also seasonal, which I love. Ambience is cozy and quirky. They're in between locations right now so no liquor license, but they let us know ahead of time and we were more than happy to BYOB (and in my case a premixed Manhattan—they provided me with a coupe glass and ice to shake my cocktail). Looking forward to checking them out on Main Street soon.“

“Fabulous lunch today!!! Excellent food and service!!!“

“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!“
