“We went to Harvest House before a show and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, and even though we sat at the bar it felt like we were part of the whole room. By the time we finished, the place was buzzing in the best way.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating when we arrived a little behind schedule, and made sure we could still enjoy everything without feeling rushed.

We ordered from both the specials and the main menu and enjoyed some excellent cocktails. Every dish felt fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. Harvest House perfectly captures that farm-to-tavern feel — warm, welcoming, and delicious. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The restaurant is all decorated for the holidays which makes this a magical place. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing just checking in as needed. Food was good. The lounge has become our Christmas place as this was our third year and we will be back.“

“I cannot say enough about the Library Cafe, the staff and the food! We had a 50th Birthday Party in the upstairs private room overlooking the bar. The food was delicious and there was PLENTY of it! The bar/wait staff was both attentive and quick getting to all of us! The party was perfect right down to the music which they let us pick! Definitely having more events at the Library!“

I had 70 people for a brunch, and it wasn't even close to tight. Superb staff, friendly and on point for service. The food was fantastic as well. Highly recommended place for a party.“

“New Years Eve & it was normal dining.. There was a special menu, but the regular menu was available as well. We ordered from both. We started w the Delicious tuna tartare.. nicely seasoned - nit over ir chicken nder w succulent, fresh tuna. The steaks (2 different cuts) were seasoned well & cooked to our liking. To-die-for truffled mashed potatoes came with 1 steak. I wasn't going to eat them (not on my diet)..haha.. They were amazing! What I couldn't eat I brought home! We weren't rushed to order ANYTHING. & really took our time & enjoyed our evening out! &.. as particular as I am about my cosmo..they got that just right, too!“

“Alicia, the owner, takes great pride, in her restaurant. And it shows!! The food and service is great!! Brunch is my favorite!“

“Attended a repast for my spouses relative, nice but couldn't fully accommodate the rather large amount of ppl whom came kinda friendly staff, yet didn't know who was who. It was a bitterly freezing day and we had traveled from Delaware to long Island. We really enjoyed mingling wth those family members there“

“This is our favorite place. Live music, great food, incredible setting. Not to mention Russ and John run it perfectly.“

“I recommend everyone that requires excellent pallet for their dining pleasure, service that is second to none and great mixology, then Have It Haviland’s Way“

“Very nice inviting decor. Service was just ok. The server was basic, didn’t tell us it was happy hour? Nor did she mention and food selections. For a new establishment I guess I was expecting a bit more … maybe ask if we had been there before? Check back to see how our food was( it was outstanding), we got more help from the water girl Had to ask to clear table. Had to ask for check from the water girl? The server had much support. Seems she took our order and disappeared. But the server assistants were on point. Dinner was really good. We will go back… because of the food. Even the manager walked pasted us a dozen times. There were 6 tables.. perfect time for manager to mingle… just saying. Place is very nice, great menu too. Just left feeling ignored. Nice music too. Maybe the server was having a bad day? Like I said we will go again !!! Great food.“

“Fist time here and I found all aspects... Very Good Food, very pleasant setting and very entertaining, I love it, we will be back🇪🇨🥰👍“

“Friends recommended this neighborhood gem and we were not disappointed! We really enjoy restaurants that have a variety of Tapas and Speak Easy's selection of Tapas is great. Lots a different choices to try. We had the Chorizos, Meatballs and Potato Croquettes which were all delish. Tapas portions were hearty to share for 2 so no disappointments on our end. We'll be back to enjoy some of the other Tapas for a relaxed friendly dinner vibe. We're adding Speak Easy to our favorite restaurants dining rotation!“

“What a great restaurant! Angelo and Oscar run a tight ship. Can’t wait to revisit.“

“I thought the Audrey was great! It is a cute cocktail bar for drinks and lite bites. We had a 7:30 reservation for a high top, although you can just walk in and sit at the bar, and this was our first time there. If you are looking for the traditional restaurant menu this is not the place. It is what I would characterize as a good place to meet with friends or significant other at the end of the day for drinks and lite bites. The menu consisted of various appetizers, salads, charcuterie and pizza and I will say all the food and drinks were amazing! As you can imagine the atmosphere is a bit lively depending on the number of people and seems to get livlier around 10 pm. If this sounds fun to you its worth checking out.“

“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.“

“This was my first time at this particular restaurant. What I will tell everyone is the food was great as well as the service. I ordered the my sunshine burger (veggie) with the mixed fries (regular &sweet potatoes). Needless to say I was unable to eat the entire burger. Try this place for yourself.“

“Amazingly delicious food and equally fantastic staff!! We ate there earlier today and were blown away! They even made something that we requested that wasn't on the menu and it was better than we've ever had! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming too! We will definitely be going here regularly and suggest everybody else does too. I promise you won't regret it!!“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“Chef Kevin @Theranchhousemineola The Food Was Aboslutely DELICOUS!!! From the Chicken, to The Stuffing, to The Rack Of Lamb, To The Clams Casino! ButterNut Squash Ravioli, Mac And Cheese, There Was Flavor In Every Bite! I am Not Surprised, Because I know Chef Kevin Can Cook!!! We Are Ordering For Christmas As Well! Thank You!!!!“

“We very recently had my mother's 80th birthday party here at Two25 with 40 attendees. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. First of all, it has a modern, calming and upscale vibe. The restaurant and restrooms are immaculate. Crisp table settings. Cool jazz lightly cascading through the sound system. Just great overall ambiance. From the moment I walked in to inquire about having a party, I met Caitlin, who deftly and expertly handled every single issue, before, during and after, with ease and grace. She made sure that our experience was perfect. A true professional and a credit to the establishment. From the moment that our party started, the staff was incredibly attentive and intuitive. The appetizers of arancini, wontons, and artichokes were absolutely delish. The salads course was perfect. And the main dinner courses were expertly crafted. I personally had the short ribs which were melt in your mouth deliciousness. My wife's salmon was cooked to perfection. And although I did not taste the chicken Milanese, everyone who had it reported it to be excellent. The dessert of gelato and cappuccino was the perfect complement to the amazing meal. And if I didn't stress this point enough, Caitlin and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate every whim. As an amazing example of that, before the day of the event, I mentioned to Caitlin, quite off-handedly, that although their beer selections were top shelf, they didn't have my go-to beer. Would you believe that the manager, Andrea, went out and personally made sure my favorite beer would be on hand for our event. Now that is what I call service!!!!
All of our guests were thoroughly impressed and everyone, invariably, had nothing but positive reviews for the event.
Two25 has skyrocketed up to our family's favorite restaurant.
Thanks again Caitlin and Andrea for an unforgettable night!!“

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“I contacted Rincon Criollo for a funeral luncheon and was connected with Rudy. Rudy was incredible to work with. He was extremely kind, courteous and flexible. He was very responsive and did whatever he could to make planning easy during a difficult time. Everything was set up as discussed. The food and drinks were delicious and service was great as well. I love supporting businesses with owners like Rudy. Will definitely be back for many more occasions.“

“Fun time with friends! Our waiter Puma was excellent!“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“It is rare that I submit restaurant reviews, when I do it is because I was treated to an amazing culinary experience. Plado has it all. Warm, cozy romantic urban vibe. The menu caters amazingly to both vegetarians and carnivores. The menu is unique and the food hits every single part of your flavor palette, absolutely delicious. The service was impeccable and we had an incredible taste adventure. It is Long Island Restaurant week and they are offering a special tasting menu. It allows you to capture a few of their excellent menu offerings in one sitting. Don’t let this place fall under your radar. We will definitely be back!!“

“Good spot for the family!“

“Went in for breakfast. Our server was decent. Walked away as I was finishing telling him my order, which came out ICE COLD & WRONG!!!! I requested a ham, COOKED/SAUTÉED ONION & American cheese omelet, fries and RYE toast with crispy bacon. My omelet was well done, the onions RAW, fries were ice cold my bacon was not cooked and not there had to tell the runner, and my toast was marble. All this for OVER &50.00!!! The server came by, we were basically finished. Asked how everything was. How would he or the runner know our order. Neither one looked at the order. NEVER AGAIN!!!“

“I've been wanting to check out this restaurant for a while now and I'm so glad I finally did. I started with the Brussels Sprouts and the Pickled Beets and both were amazing! For my entree I had the Mesquite Salmon with asparagus and potatoes and really enjoyed all of it. Lauren, the manager and bartender, was very welcoming and made a great spicy margarita. I look forward to going back!“

“Excellent customer care and help with planning my event -“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Had my daughters bridal shower here this past weekend. The owner was very accommodating. The service was great, the food delicious, and the beautiful vibe of this restaurant truly elevated our event and made it a memorable day for the bride to be. Thank you to Billy the chef and the staff!“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“Hola Buenas yo Busco trabajo De cocinero“

“John (Owner) and Eric (bartender) are both great guys who fit perfectly with the creative small plates, generous drinks and warm, inviting ambiance. Add music on certain nights (check FB), and you have a winner!“

“We were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat before going to a lecture at the Merrick Public Library. The photos of the food looked fabulous, so we decided to give Bourbon & Brews a try. We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“My granddaughter wanted to go because of the popovers and chicken broth served before every meal. They were great, but then who needed lunch? We ended up taking most of our food home. I especially liked the daylight streaming through the large windows which made it feel like eating outdoors.“

“always great service and food and drinks also have great kid friendly events!!“

“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“Love this place! It would be my go-to for breakfast from now on! The service is great, as well as the food. The menu is simple, with great pricing, and it's in a great location with tons of parking! Inside, it's strikingly beautiful with ambiance that soothes and relaxes you.“

“Surf and Turf special was wonderful and service was well trained but what can't be trained is the kindness of the staff and the willingness to go above and beyond to make the occasion special.“

“Had such fun at the murder mystery!“

“My best friend and I have been coming to Piccolo for over 10 years, we came upon it after a long shopping day. We were famished and had one of the most delicious meal. Fast forward to today, it has been the place where we always meet for girls night, commemorating key life events such as the night before I got engaged and my friends 30th birthday. The food, ambiance and service is incredible, kudos to the management here.“
