New American Restaurants near Lake Grove, NY

“Came here with some friends for Wing Night and we all had a great experience. The atmosphere is classy but casual, with a really nice layout and comfortable feel.

Our server was warm, attentive, and responsive, and everyone on the staff we interacted with was friendly and professional. The wings were excellent—we sampled a bunch of different sauces and honestly enjoyed every one of them.

There was also a young woman singing and playing acoustic guitar onstage who was fantastic. The volume was perfect: loud enough to enjoy the music, but not so loud that we couldn’t comfortably talk at the table.

Great food, great service, and a really enjoyable atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back. Give this place a try!“

“I absolutely love the attention to detail, the care and love of food that these chefs prepare. Love the surprise of not knowing what you get. They work with dietary restrictions.“

“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!“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“Excellent Brunch for Mother’s Day! We never go out to eat on Mother’s Day as the restaurants are usually too overwhelmed. I am so glad we came to Shands General this year. The service was excellent and everything was extremely coordinated. The food was delicious and our party of 6 had a great time. Highly Recommend!“

“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.“

“Went with gf had great time from the pretzel croissant to the amazing flowerless cake everything was delicious. Has great view of port Jeff. Staff is friendly Deff going back. And offer seasonal menu“

“Yesterday I had my daughter’s bridal shower at the Lakehouse. The event coordinator, Annalisa was a pleasure to work with. ALL of my guests raved about the food, service and atmosphere. Some of the men stayed and Annalisa set them up outside on the deck for lunch instead of inside the bar since it was a beautiful day. She also suggested having dessert served outside which could not have been better. My guests enjoyed the beautiful view and all of the outdoor seating. I would highly recommend having an event here.“

“Our son and daughter in law hired them for there wedding .The food was the best, so fresh and delicious.

I would definitely be recommend visiting them or if you need someone to cater a special occasion do not hesitate to reach out to them.Thank you again for a wonderful day.“

“Love John the bartender. Great food and atmosphere“

“The ditch aka Port Jeff’s newest greatest addition. Drinks always good and the atmosphere is always nice as well whether a weekday calm vibe or a weekend busy scene. Shoutout to the staff Devon, Jess and Jimmy for holding it down on the bar and the real glue of the restaurant Michael always tending all of his guest and making sure everyone leaves with a smile and a good time!“

“What a spectacular hidden gem of a restaurant! I'll go anywhere for a good duck breast, this place absolutely delivered 110%. Right amount of char, the seasoning, and it was cooked to perfection. Smoked salmon and burrata apps were delicious. We couldn't be happier with the very attentive service, quaint atmosphere - and the food was really on point for such an unassuming location. Also, the hot rice pudding with golden raisins was fantastic, as close to grandmas recipe as I can remember coming across! Keep up the spectacular work!“

“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. :)“

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

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Omg Amazing food, great drinks and perfect ending with the flan 🍮 😍 to die for, highly recommend!!!!“

“The food was excellent, and the bus staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very warm or inviting, which affected the overall experience. After she brought us the bill, we waited around 10 minutes for our card to be processed while she was doing side work, and eventually another staff member had to run it for us. It just felt a little odd to be left waiting that long when we were ready to pay and leave. Overall, the food was great, but the service could have been more welcoming and attentive.“

“I have to visit when I’m the area. Very cozy and friendly place. The food is great!“

“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“

“Great chicken sandwiches, 3 different ones between us and everyone raved about them and drinks were great!“

“update below: Went for a Disney bingo which was so fun but we ordered a special on the board (both the same) and we both got sick. I wrote and email expressing my concern , which they responded quickly and tried connecting on the phone but they dropped the ball and did not respond to my follow up call nor my follow up email week has gone by. It’s nice in there I would’ve considered returning.

Tim, the manager called again and we had a nice conversation that I much appreciated. Offered gift card which was very kind. Sometimes things happen, if I business is willing to make it right and show humility it’s a good business. I’ve updated this review in high hope of returning and having a good experience and updating to 5 stars!“

“We recently celebrated my daughter Sanaa’s Sweet 16 at Trio, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The space was beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for such a special occasion.

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.

Our guests had a fantastic time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We are grateful for the outstanding service and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event. Thank you for helping create such beautiful memories for our family! ❤🎉✨“

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

“Recently celebrated our daughter’s 1st Birthday here. After researching many venues in the area we landed with the Grille. Jenn (the event coordinator) was extremely friendly, professional and informative from the moment I called her to inquire about the space. The venue is a dual space. You have the catering room as well as the bar area where there are pool tables and a dart board. Perfect for our guests in their 20s. The food and staff were amazing. I cannot rave enough about Amy, Jenn, Steve, Ernesto and Sabrina. They were all so helpful and accommodating during our event. Jenn was extremely attentive and made sure we had all our desires fulfilled, up until the morning of the party. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this establishment. Book them! You won’t regret it!“

“Melinda was absolutely amazing at George’s Luncheonette in Patchogue! She was so kind, friendly, and funny and made the whole breakfast experience even better. She suggested the waffle and it was delicious — freshly made and perfectly crispy. She also let me customize it with chocolate chips, fruit, and whipped cream which made it even more amazing. She made sure our coffees were always full and hot too, which we really appreciated. The breakfast was incredible, but the service was even better. You can tell she really cares about her customers. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Best go to local spot ! Good food and service !!“

“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!“

“Service and cuisine was excellent. Staff was very friendly and eager to please.“

“The burgers are to die for!“

“The service was great and the ambiance was beautiful!! My chicken Francese could have been better. I was disappointed in that. I really enjoyed the salad and desert!“

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

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“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.“

“Just found out the cafe has a menu full of gluten free options and tried it out. Amazing place and food was delicious! They have gluten free toast, buns, soups, desserts. My husband was excited to be able to have so many choices in a beautiful restaurant. Thank you! We'll be back for sure!“

“The chop shop is fancy and nice service.“

“Excellent food no matter what we order love the steak tidbits ..tried the shrimp tacos too !!! Drinks are great as well !!! Our new go to by the water !“

“While the food was very good, it was absolutely freezing in the restaurant which ruined the experience. Everyone in the restaurant was wearing their coats, and we couldn’t wait to leave 😡“

“One of the greatest outdoor bar/ music venues since the 80s!
You can tell the employees are happy to work there and they take pride in what they do. They have a small kitchen but they sure do have some great food!🍔 I've never had a bad meal there! You got to go check it out the place is a lot of fun! 🍸“

“Hosted a Bridal Shower for my Niece/Goddaughter in March and everything from start to finish was amazing. Food was very tasty and plentiful. George helped us plan our menu he was very professional knowledgeable and very kind. Thanks George ,Staff and Ristegio’s for a GREAT DAY❣️❣️“
