“Amazing food and service ! So glad I finally tried it . Took my family there for New Year’s Eve. It was perfect. Looking forward to going back.“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Beautiful, fun spot with great food and cocktails!“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“Large portions and great food“

“Wonderful place !!! Nyasia the best barmaid in the place !!!!“

“I have been coming here for years. Every single time I have gotten nothing but fresh and delish grilled chicken ! The gyros are to die for. The spinach pie is out of this world. The people are so friendly and kind. The place is always so clean. I highly highly highly recommend this place !!!“

“I’d like to say and point out a server/bartender that works here at this Applebee’s in Brentwood. Each and every time I come here this employee consistently gives me and other customers I’ve seen dine here some of the best service and attitude imaginable. I don’t know what his secret is, but I love coming through those doors and seeing that his big built body is on the clock. Every other server/bartender I’ve had has been great, but then here comes Diego taking it to another level.

Especially the positive attitude that I see him giving his coworkers as well. Lord forgive me, but I would love to be working with this man because it’s one thing to be kind and respectful to your customers, but another to be that same way with your coworkers. Especially with the two hostesses that I usually see when I come in on the weekends, the curly-haired boy with the glasses and the nice girl with the curly hair. They’re always so welcoming, and Diego fits right in with them.

Nothing but professional, nothing but friendly that man is. I hope he gets recognized for the way he treats his customers and the people working around him. Shout out to everybody else in this Applebee’s for their immaculate service, INCLUDING DIEGO, because that man deserves his flowers too.“

“The restaurant food and service was very good. However, no one likes to be served a martini in a champagne glass. It’s like drinking out of a bowl of soup. You should serve your martinis in the proper glasses.“

“The new Riley’s East was FANTASTIC! Make sure you visit here and enjoy this amazing establishment! Warm and welcoming with an incredible, creative menu designed to please every palate and the most delicious, generous meals! We enjoyed the lobster bisque (loaded with huge chunks of lobster), grilled Asian style cauliflower with a savory dipping sauce (omg delicious), mozzarella and tomato panini with the largest, most delicious fresh mozzarella slices and tasty balsamic/ greenery, and the fish and chips and fries which were so tasty and generous we will enjoy them for days. This is a very special place and we highly recommend it!“

“Nice experience, very different and eclectic menu that changes every Wednesday. But do have some house staples.“

“I became a regular diner to Riley’s a couple of years ago. Gotta tell ya, the food is as good as any high restaurant I eat at and I dine out a lot. Fun, delicious, quality menu that has never once disappointed on any item, ever. Yes it is mostly basic pub food but so are 50% of the restaurants on Long Island now and Fibbers is perfect and priced more than fair. Can’t remember the servers but the two ladies are always right there, refills on drinks, food on time and always with a smile regardless how busy they are. Come back soon guys! You are the best of EI“

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

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

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.

“I recently hosted my daughter’s Bridal Shower Brunch at Bayberry. Everything about our experience was exceptional. The staff was helpful and accommodating, the menu options were extensive and delish and the chic atmosphere was the perfect setting for the vibe we wanted to achieve. I highly recommend Bayberry for your next event or night out ❣️“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“

“the fish bowls are such a good drinking investment lol !!“

“We had an outstanding experience at Applebee's Bohemia, NY thanks to our waiter, Seth! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure our drinks stayed full, checked on us at just the right times, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal.
Seth's positive attitude, professionalism, and excellent customer service really stood out and made our dining experience even better. It's rare to find someone who truly enjoys what they do, and it shows. If you're dining here, ask for Seth—you won't be disappointed! Thank you, Seth, for providing exceptional service. We'll definitely be back!“

“Went to the Northport location this morning. I had the Tex-Mex Benny Bowl. Loved it! Something different, our server Karen was outstanding. Attentive, without being annoying. Even had my favorite hot sauce, highly recommend.“
