“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 staff and service is always extremely welcoming and attentive. We came in for brunch to celebrate my mother's 74th birthday and had a wonderful afternoon. Our server, David, did a great job taking care of us and the manager, Blake, made sure we had everything we needed. The food is always great and it's always fun to see the new additions to the menu and cocktail list. Will be back!“

“My experience with Prestige Palace Lounge was amazing!! I booked this venue to celebrate my 40th birthday and I am very pleased with my decision! Mark, the owner along with Winston was extremely helpful from beginning to end of the planning process. Mark never failed to respond to every concern and request I've made. He was very, professional, respectful and accommodating to my every needs. He recommended a good cook for my party , allowed me to bring my own cook and offered free bottles wine on the house! I can't thank him enough! I am very grateful for the service he provided.

He also allowed excessive amount of time for decoration set up and was extremely accommodating. The venue was beautiful and full of life with disco lighting and elegant ambiance. My guest were all pleased and had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking you next event with Prestige palace lounge!“

“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.“

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

“This place is a GEM! The service was professional and the ambiance inviting and cozy. Frank created such a personal experience. Ask for his black book for uniquely crafted cocktails. The drinks were amazing and the food delicious. We had the char-grilled octopus, blackened fish tacos and the hanger steak. My husband and I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“The food was fresh and delicious ! The menu items were unique! The atmosphere was spacious and comfortable. The service was friendly and on point ! The staff seemed to be enthusiastic to serve us and have us try new things, took the time to explain our options and made confident recommendations. It was more than a great meal but an overall enjoyable experience I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back with friends and family 😊“

“We tried The Audrey for the first time last night. Will definitely return. It was a Wednesday night and we were alerted that they were short staffed when we chose to sit outside. One of our entrees was forgotten and took about 20 min, but we shared our entrees in the meantime. The appetizers and pizza entrees were very generous sizes (could easily be shared) and they were all delicious. The staff was very apologetic and had such a delightful personality that it was easy to forgive. We definitely look forward to going again.“

“We as a family always enjoyed the food and service at Bareburger in RVC. The staff is nice, sweet and attentive.

Dietary restrictions: My wife is diagnosed with celiac disease and this is one of the very few places we can trust for her to enjoy eating out“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Chef Kevin @Theranchhousemineola The Food Was Aboslutely DELICOUS!!! From the Chicken, to The Stuffing, to The Rack Of Lamb, To The Clams Casino!

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had such fun at the murder mystery!“

“Delicious food and a great service too!!“
