““The food is absolutely outstanding, the service is incredible, and Chef Mike is one of a kind. Do yourself a favor — if you’re in the area, stop in. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“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!“

“Love John the bartender. Great food and atmosphere“

“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.“

“Lovely atmosphere, delicious and generous portions, and quality service“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“I want to start by saying the buffalo chicken egg rolls are the best and I mean THE BEST Buffalo chicken egg rolls I have ever had. I got garlic parm wings as my main and they were also delicious. Came on a weekend and it was very busy with live music so make reservations!“

“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.“

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

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

“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. :)“

“Thank you Gabby and Anthony for being the best service oriented hosts. Great drinks and comversation.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“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.“

“The food is always fresh and deliciously prepared. Staff and owners are very friendly and accomodating for dietary restrictions (gluten free). Good bar too.“

“I went last night for my anniversary. My husband and I did the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Everything was delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly. I will definitely be back“

“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is delicious in large portions, waitress is attentive and knowledgeable, very nice atmosphere.“

“To start my review, I just wish there were more stars in the food and service category. Trio deserves 10 ⭐'s for both.This restaurant handles two types of food service, restaurant seating and catering for small to large parties. I've now experienced both. My most recent was a repast after a funeral. When everyone is emotional, the last thing the family needs is problems with the food service. Well, in our case, more people showed up than were originally expected. The staff at Trio didn't miss a beat. They set up additional tables in a flash and quickly had the tables set. We had buffet style dining and the selection was outstanding, with something for everyone. From soup to nuts, everything was delicious. They had fish, beef, vegetarian selections and even offered coffee and dessert. (by the way, if I had known how good the desserts would've been, I might have eaten a little less dinner.)The service is impeccable, everything is clean and fresh, the linens and tablecloths were spotless.I'd like to add that Trio is on the grounds of the Holbrook Country Club. You can grab lunch and drinks after you play, just show up and they accommodate parties of all sizes. You won't be disappointed!“

“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 !!!“

“Haven’t had a burger that good in quite a while…“

“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!!!“

“There are many good things to say about this restaurant. Bottom line, the food is outstanding. Best quality ingredients makes everything taste so delicious 😋“

“Large bar, big place, lots of tv’s, great space upstairs for private events, cold 🍺 and great food = good times 💫“

“Delicious cocktails and food! We all had a difficult time deciding on a meal, everything sound so good! Friendly helpful staff, would totally recommend!“

“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!!“

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

“Great place to go very safe and friendly“

“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 ****“

“The burgers are to die for!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I took my mom here as I wanted to take her out on a date together. My mom deserves to get out and enjoy the lovely weather we have been getting up in the Long Island area. We came to this spot (by the way it's called "American Standard"). I think the bar/restaurant change the name.This spot offers live music, we enjoyed a guitarist play during the course of our stay here.We ordered the alligator fritters as our appetizer and catfish poh boy with a burger that had all kinds of galore in it.The food was fantastic, very delicious. The alligator fritters was phenomenal. It's rare to find a bar/restaurant to offer alligator in this area as there aren't any alligators or crocodiles nearby. It was well cooked, not dry. The dish presentation was cute.The meal was very filling as the burgers came with fries or side salad. The poh boy came with the same option, but my mom ordered salad. The food portions were perfect.The spot also offers a wide selection of alcohol, including many choices of craft beer. I highly recommend coming here to have a good time. It's very causal.“

“We just had our daughter’s Sweet 16 party at Butterfields, and it could not have been better! All our guests loved the delicious food and the lovely decor. The entire staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. Highly recommend!“

“The chop shop is fancy and nice service.“

“Location, location, location! Fabulous staff ! Fantastic food! Delicious cocktails what else could you ask for?“
