“I don't understand an 84% rating. It is always 100% in my book! Many, many, many Jordan's years!!!!💕“

“It was a special after-the-beach day birthday dinner at Artie’s and it was fantastic! Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“We were in the mood for fresh seafood and decided to give this place a try, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. The location has exactly the kind of waterfront atmosphere you hope for when visiting a seafood restaurant. We were lucky enough to get a table outside overlooking the water, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

To start, we ordered a couple of appetizers and were impressed with both. The shrimp appetizer was cooked perfectly and paired with a flavorful sauce that had just the right balance of sweetness and spice. We also tried a seafood cake that was packed with flavor and had plenty of crab meat.

For my entrée, I originally wanted a seasonal seafood special that unfortunately wasn't available, so I chose a lobster sandwich instead. The lobster itself was fresh and generous, and the sandwich was satisfying overall. Service was another highlight of the visit. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, kept an eye on the table, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Between the waterfront setting, quality seafood, and excellent service, this is definitely a place I'd return to when craving seafood again.“

“simply the best food and service..“

“Great customer service n food was delish“

“The portions for the appetizers were so igwe couldn’t even order entrees. The food is well seasoned and delicious. The service was attentive. The ambiance is PARTY. You just keep moving as you done. I definitely will be back…“

“I picked up food here for the first time and Auntie was so incredibly welcoming. She was happy to let me sample a handful of the dishes they were serving, all of which were delicious.

The oxtail here is just phenomenal. The depth of flavor of the gravy was such a standout. My rice and peas were covered in it and I wish I had more!

The jerk chicken was incredibly tender and the sweet and spicy sauces were a great compliment.

The fresh pine ginger drink is a must have and the homemade coco bread was pillowy soft.

The chef is an absolute pro here when it comes to salinity. The seasoning was spot on for every entree without any lingering saltiness.“

“Enormous portions, the bread and salad are excellent starts to a delicious meal. paella valenciana and lamb chops are amazing. Even my super picky, never impressed 75 year old father was in love with this restaurant.“

“We came here on time for the lunch menu (served until 3), but we were given the dinner menu instead. A few of the items that are on both menus are more expensive on the dinner menu, so it gave us the impression they just wanted us to spend more. After asking for the lunch menu they discouraged it then brushed it off, so we used the more expensive menu rather than make a scene. The Caeser salad with chicken was ok, just a little overdressed. The octopus on the specials menu was tender and tasted good. The shrimp scampi over linguini ($8 more on the dinner menu than the lunch menu) was well-prepared. The NY strip au poivre was more medium than the medium rare we asked for, and the steak was under seasoned. We’ve had better experiences here in the past. It was very off-putting that they did not bring us the lunch menu when we asked for it.“

“I've dined here at least 20 times and have always had a great experience. Our server Deneen was outstanding. So sweet and professional and took great care of us during our dinner. She should be commended. Two of us got the chicken breast dinner and the other two got the pork chop. Everything was delicious as usual. Our wine was great as were the little desserts they always serve. Seasons 52 has become a favorite which is why we always come back!“

“I always order on Uber Eats but since I was near by at a park, I figured I go in. Best decision ever!

Service: Amazing 💕💕 it was pretty busy for a week day but the food came out fast and tasted amazing. I think name of the drink I the photo is Tim tub (ruby). Not too sweet but very good.

Atmosphere: cozy. Small place but there is out door seating. I sat inside and the AC was great. Not too cold.

Food: I order a soup. It had crab meat, pork and a dumpling in it. Not spicy but they put hot sauces on your table in case you want to add spice.

Wheel chair accessible and family friendly.
Total was 39.20

I will be back 💕💕💕💕
Thank you!“

“We had a fiftieth birthday party here for two twin brothers. The patio out back is beautiful. The food was great and the waitstaff is wonderful. This is practically its own institution in Floral Park.“

“Excellent eatery on Atlantic Avenue. The owner is super friendly and very courteous. We are offered a free amuse-bouche starter of whipped ricotta on pita and it was fabulous. We got a few dishes of just tapas and a delicious salad. Will absolutely be my new go to restaurant. There was even live music that was another fabulous touch.“

“Best seafood boil I ever had.I recently tried a seafood boil at a local Cajun-style spot, and overall, it was a really fun and flavorful experience.

The seafood itself was fresh—especially the shrimp and crab legs, which were juicy and easy to crack open. The real highlight, though, was the sauce. I went with a garlic butter Cajun mix at medium spice, and it had a rich, savory flavor with just the right amount of heat. Everything comes in a bag, coated in sauce, which makes it messy but adds to the experience.

Portion sizes were decent, but the price can climb quickly depending on what you order—especially if you add lobster or extra sides. Corn and potatoes were solid additions, soaking up all that flavor.

The atmosphere was lively and a bit loud, definitely more of a group hangout vibe than a quiet dinner. Service was good overall, though things slowed down a bit during peak hours.

Overall, I’d rate it around a 4 out of 5. It’s not the kind of place you go for a light meal, but if you’re in the mood for something indulgent, hands-on, and packed with flavor, a seafood boil is definitely worth trying.“

“This is a really nice spot woth great food, im a big fan of their salads!! And they have a great vibe for parties. Date nights. Even girls time! Specials are always going on and you can check our video out on Instagram & Tiktok @jadaexploresall. Definitely give them a try, order thr lamb chops and their Lychee Martini!

“One of my favorite local little hole in the wall spots. Often come here to get a quick bite like the Whiting Fish Sandwich. There a plenty of seafood options and plenty of options to make at home or take with you. Area is a little shaky but hey… that's Hempstead.“

When you visit Red Crab, please ask to sit in Jennifer’s section…She is an Amazing Hostess! Jennifer…Your kindness, energy and positive spirit made us ALL feel valued & appreciated!

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food is excellent, no matter what you order. The sauce reminds me of my mom's. The staff is great,! The waiter didn't even need to write down our orders. Everything was perfect ! Even on a Sunday night the place was packed. I highly recommend this place. One tip make reservations. You can call or even better go on the website and book online“

“Nice place to unwind and enjoy great service from the awesome bartender's Shorn and Linval. Those drinks are amazing very punching. (Rum Punch)“

“I had the tuna and it was absolutely delicious!!“

“We love to come to Capital Grille for the tuna. The chef always makes it to perfection. We enjoyed the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigot so much that we had a second round...perfect for a hot June evening! For the first time we had the greens salad but with the lime (or lemon?) vinaigrette dressing. For some reason that dressing was too spicy for both of our tastes, but we had already poured it on the salad so we ate it. Next time we will know to order a different dressing. Thank you for another great dining experience!“

“This is differently a hidden gem. Though being that it was late Sunday and there were some things that weren't available on the menu, the food I had was delicious. The lobster mac and cheese is pretty decent and the drinks are good too. Would love to go back and try other things on the menu.“

“A great night out at Chadwick’s. Ali was great! 😊“

“Highly Recommended, Highly Satisfied, A Great Hospitality, Perfect Family Restaurant, and overall it’s the best homemade home fried rice and Cajun fries and Seafood are top notch best quality food services where the Owner (chef himself), his Newphew are such a friendly company. I enjoy the business and when whenever I’m around my old neighborhood in Town of Freeport (PORTKNOX NATIVE) I come here to enjoy with my family and my small parrot 🦜 - happy folks and nice environment staff..“
