New American Restaurants near Brookhaven, NY

“Painter’s is where portion sizes border on the absurd and service moves at lightning speed. On Father’s Day, with the parking lot packed, we braced for a long wait, but were seated instantly, perhaps by restaurant wizardry. The staff? Efficient, friendly, and impressively attentive despite being slammed. The craft beer selection? Solid, featuring multiple IPAs, including Sand City’s local legend, "Oops I Hopped My Pants." And the food? Each dish arrived in comical abundance, leaving us marveling at the sheer generosity of Painter’s kitchen. Massive portions, incredible flavors. As for dessert, Painter’s offers a parade of palate-pleasing perfection. A symphony of sweets so spectacular they silence self-restraint. Countless confections, crafted with precision, passion, and pure decadence. Bring an appetite, a to-go container, or maybe your Wegovy shot.“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“Excellent Brunch for Mother’s Day! We never go out to eat on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are usually too overwhelmed. I am so glad we came to Shands General this year. The service was excellent and everything was extremely coordinated. The food was delicious and our party of 6 had a great time. Highly Recommend!“

“What a spectacular hidden gem of a restaurant! I'll go anywhere for a good duck breast, this place absolutely delivered 110%. Right amount of char, the seasoning, and it was cooked to perfection. Smoked salmon and burrata apps were delicious. We couldn't be happier with the very attentive service, quaint atmosphere - and the food was really on point for such an unassuming location. Also, the hot rice pudding with golden raisins was fantastic, as close to grandmas recipe as I can remember coming across! Keep up the spectacular work!“

“We recently celebrated my daughter Sanaa’s Sweet 16 at Trio, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The space was beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for such a special occasion.

A special thank you to Elsa, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. She was professional, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure every detail was just right. Her guidance and support helped make the planning stress-free, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event.

Our guests had a fantastic time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We are grateful for the outstanding service and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event. Thank you for helping create such beautiful memories for our family! ❤🎉✨“

“Recently celebrated our daughter’s 1st Birthday here. After researching many venues in the area we landed with the Grille. Jenn (the event coordinator) was extremely friendly, professional and informative from the moment I called her to inquire about the space. The venue is a dual space. You have the catering room as well as the bar area where there are pool tables and a dart board. Perfect for our guests in their 20s. The food and staff were amazing. I cannot rave enough about Amy, Jenn, Steve, Ernesto and Sabrina. They were all so helpful and accommodating during our event. Jenn was extremely attentive and made sure we had all our desires fulfilled, up until the morning of the party. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this establishment. Book them! You won’t regret it!“

“This cozy spot on the golf course has left the best impressions! Hospitable staff, delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide list of specials and wonderful variety. I recommend to everyone! It’s my go to for brunch with the kids and working lunches.“

“The Bellport offers great food in a very pleasant atmosphere. In addition it is in a nice location for a stroll to the marina afterwards.“

“Melinda was absolutely amazing at George’s Luncheonette in Patchogue! She was so kind, friendly, and funny and made the whole breakfast experience even better. She suggested the waffle and it was delicious — freshly made and perfectly crispy. She also let me customize it with chocolate chips, fruit, and whipped cream which made it even more amazing. She made sure our coffees were always full and hot too, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was incredible, but the service was even better. You can tell she really cares about her customers. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Best go to local spot ! Good food and service !!“

“My mom and I hosted a baby shower here, just this past weekend, and we feel we need to scream from the rooftops just how amazing it was! The staff was phenomenal, anything we needed they were right there to help! The food was stellar and all of our guests were talking about how they wish they could load up to go containers from the buffet! If you ever have to throw an event, do yourself the favor and check them out! The owner is the nicest guy and really just went above and beyond to help make the shower perfect! If I could give more than 5 stars I would !!“

“Watch Hill is a campground and glamping site inside Fire Island National Seashore, and it’s basically one of the most unique “nature stays” near New York City. You don’t get there by car—you take a ferry from Patchogue and then walk or use a wagon to reach your tent or campsite. The whole experience feels like a mix of beach escape, camping, and national park isolation.

It’s very popular in summer because of the ocean access, safari-style tents, and the fact that you’re staying right in a protected coastal wilderness area.“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“While the food was very good, it was absolutely freezing in the restaurant which ruined the experience. Everyone in the restaurant was wearing their coats, and we couldn’t wait to leave 😡“

“Excellent food no matter what we order love the steak tidbits ..tried the shrimp tacos too !!! Drinks are great as well !!! Our new go to by the water !“

“09/06/2026 Update time. Still amazing
05/28/2025 Despite having gone here numerous times since first review, I must update. Came for happy hour in bar. By far the best garlic muscles I've ever had. Their wings are big meaty and deliciously fried. The chicken/ spinach meatballs with chickpeas are amazing.
02/07/2020. 5:30 Friday reservation. Seated immediately. Waitress very pleasant, attentive and accomdating. 2 appetizers, baked clams: nice flavor, but didn't see or taste any clams. Very heavy on the breading. Florentine shrimp: excellent with feta and a delicious sauce. Entrees, tuna taste was delicious. Ask to be not raw just a little pink. Had to send back, was very raw. They were not hussy about it, apologized and it came back perfect. We also had the seafood Porto. This was their version of a mixed seafood pallea. It was absolutely delicious on a bed of linguini. Desert was house made by style cheesecake. Very good and well presented. Only issue is I feel the entrees were a little steep in price. I will return“

“Just found out the cafe has a menu full of gluten free options and tried it out. Amazing place and food was delicious! They have gluten free toast, buns, soups, desserts. My husband was excited to be able to have so many choices in a beautiful restaurant. Thank you! We'll be back for sure!“

“One of the greatest outdoor bar/ music venues since the 80s!
You can tell the employees are happy to work there and they take pride in what they do. They have a small kitchen but they sure do have some great food!🍔 I've never had a bad meal there! You got to go check it out the place is a lot of fun! 🍸“

“Hosted a Bridal Shower for my Niece/Goddaughter in March and everything from start to finish was amazing. Food was very tasty and plentiful. George helped us plan our menu he was very professional knowledgeable and very kind. Thanks George ,Staff and Ristegio’s for a GREAT DAY❣️❣️“

“Fun time! Great atmosphere“
