“We have been coming out east for several decades and I am sorry that I did not try Tony's sushi sooner! We started coming this year and it is always freshly made and the business seems to be well organized. They didn't mix up our orders and they were careful, paying attention to each customer and taking their time to write and double confirm each order verbally. I recommend the California roll and my husband and they have a lot of options for sushi lovers and non-sushi lovers here. Tony's is a good choice for both snobbish food nerds and picky eaters!”

“Went for a birthday dinner with a group of 6. The service was A1. Very nice and helpful. The table was also a horseshoe shape that was nice for the group to interact.It was restaurant week. The food was good, above average. Nothing blew us away but it was good.I will go back.”

“We just got the tasting menu for take out. It was incredible! Every last bit of food was creative and super tasty. So delicious and the perfect portions. We will be back!”

“Wow. What a great experience! I was first introduced to Chef Payard as the pastry chef at a private club. Mind was blown. So I checked out his restaurant and was impressed with everything - the service, the menu, the creativity, the atmosphere, and the incredible food from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and check it out.”

“Great location on the water. The service was impeccable, the waitress took order for 6 people without taking notes and nailed every meal and drink. Amazing. The clam chowder was delicious although the NY steak was a little tougher than I expected, but the side of truffle fries almost made up for it.Would return and recommend as all the dishes looked great.”

“This is a follow up to our 2023 review of R., Aire at the Hampton Maid in Hampton Bays. As superb as R. Aire was during the past eighteen months, recent visits underscore that the restaurant continues to reach new culinary heights under Chef and Owner Alex Bujoreanu. In a landscape of high priced and often mediocre restaurants on the East End, R. Aire is a unique venue - a chef driven restaurant which offers sophisticated cuisine inspired by the classics of Spain - in an elegant, serene setting - and at moderate prices.Although we have previously taken note of R. Aire’s outstanding signature paellas, the “non rice” sections of the menu offer a range of equally delicious dishes - all made with the finest (and often local) ingredients and reflecting the chef’s masterful synthesis of both classical and modern influences.For example, Chef Bujoreanu offers an amazing Fideua - a short grain pasta dish cooked in the method of paella (in a paella pan) in a richly flavored sofrito. R. Aire’s Fideua is a textural wonder, served two ways - as a seafood and squid ink classic or a rustic wild mushroom and duck version. Fideua is rarely offered in the U.S. - these renditions are authentic and superb.R. Aire’s appetizers and small plate “pinchos”offer an array of delectable choices, from flavorful morsels of grilled lamb (Morunos), aromatic grilled Shishito peppers, succulent octopus, airy meatballs and a lovely heirloom beet salad. One could construct a deeply satisfying dinner from these perfectly composed small plates.In addition to the Fideua and traditional paellas for which R. Aire is known - the paellas have a perfect “socarrat” base and are cooked to order and served in individual paella pans - the non rice dishes are equally impressive. Memorable main courses include pristine local sea scallops, breast of duck, Iberico pork and a filet mignon of Wagyu beef. This is cooking at a very high level.The service at R. Aire is warm and inviting. The restaurant’s gracious manager, Grigore, provides an attentive hands on presence in the dining room; he is clearly focused on delivering the service and hospitality which has been the restaurant’s credo since it opened.It should be noted the restaurant’s wine list has continued to evolve, offering a range of wines from Spain and the U.S. and other wine regions from excellent producers - and at fair prices.In a world of formulaic restaurants and homogeneous food, R. Aire stands out for its warmth, value and brilliant cooking. Bravo to Chef Bujoreanu and his team for creating a special venue in Hampton Bays.”

“Best ice cream spot. The ice cream is great, the cruchie toppings is unique and a must get. The people serving work great as a team and you can even hear them encouraging each other while it's super busy they keep the line moving. I recommend you check them out.”

“Just ate dinner there. Excellent food and service. Cozy, friendly atmosphere. Will definitely go back. Especially liked the Jersey burger with the toot beer barbecue sauce, Applewood bacon, and cheddar on a pretzel roll.”

“What a great little find in Peconic. A beautiful, quaint winery. They have small snacks and tons of Rose'. We had the still Jolie Rose'. Delicious! The staff is ready and waiting to help. Beautiful grounds. Quiet little spaces to get lost. Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!”

“Very friendly and helpful when ordering. Amazing food, good size portions and good selection. Fair prices and a clean and fun atmosphere. Good choice of vegetarian and gluten free options. A must try restaurant when on the East End.Vegetarian options: Good selection of vegetarian and gluten free options.”

“Being a Bariatric , Crohn’s patient its very hard to get proper mealsI stopped into this location and spoke with sydneyShe was kind helpful and now will be a regular customer !”

“Fantastic Polish Deli and grocery run by some really nice people. They have a big selection of kielbasa and their prepared dishes are delicious. Their stuffed cabbage was fantastic with so much flavor. The pigs knuckle was also extremely good if you're into that. There was also a large pastry section that I'm going back to check out.”

“I have been a wine club member at Macari for quite some time and I wish I visit more often to enjoy some of the members’ benefits. I managed to visit this past Saturday with some guests from out-of-state. I wanted to seize the moment and showcase New York/Long Island wine country. Macari did not disappoint!Macari is aesthetically pleasing, from the wine bar to the indoor tasting room which gives way to the closed-in deck. The effort to simple details was not missed by us – for example, the furniture on the closed-in deck is iron but there are sheepskin throws (synthetic fur) on each chair which warms up the whole appearance.Service was superb – our waiter (I am bummed I do not remember his name) eloquently described the wines as he poured. He was warm and invited us to inquire about any of the wines.We started our tasting with the Sparkling Pino Noir (I strongly recommend this sparkling) – the flavors of the berries were profound and quite refreshing. We continued with Macari’s different Chardonnays, Tocai Friulano (this wine is only available in the tasting room and not available for online purchase as I have tried to order it). And we wrapped up our tasting with the Dos Aguas. Dos Aguas is a medium body blend which paired very well with their pizza.Tasting Room Notes –I would like to see Macari showcase Bergen Road as a part of its tasting menu. It is a gem and one of Macari’s greatest reds (full body).I love the pizza menu which is new (first time for me). It is a great benefit when one can go wine tasting and have lunch at the same place/time.And, Oh la la – the new addition - The Olive Oil! – it has such a punch. I came home with 2 bottles. Offers baguettes and you will have me coming back!Hints – reservation is strongly recommended, even for wine club members.”

“Came here for a birthday lunch date. My husband had the coconut shrimp, I had the Island burger with fries. We got a key lime pie to go as well, which was complimentary. Ty Rumba for the wonderful meal & service.”

“My favorite Restaurant in the North Fork. Simple menu but you either need to come back 20 times and order something different each time or if you’re just visiting order the entire menu. You won’t be disappointed by a single item. Quick and consistent service. I’m shocked the food network hasn’t showed up here yet.”

“Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Long Island. Super authentic and great portions. Workers were really nice and the restaurant itself was really clean. Will be coming back ?”

“This is the best coffee around, and they roast in house. Traditionally I’m weary about in house roasters in a small town, but this place has it right. The baristas are very knowledgeable and efficient. As far as the space, it is rather small but quaint. If you are in the area and want 3rd wave coffee, this is going to be your best option available.”

“I can't say enough good things about this place. Picked it at random when the restaurant I was hoping for was closed for the season and so very, very happy it was, or I may never have had the wonderful experience that is the Wine Room, great food/service/atmosphere. Really unique and wonderful.”

“My first visit to Jerry and the Mermaid was nothing short of magical. Nestled along the seaside, this charming restaurant boasts not only impeccable food but also a breathtaking setting that instantly transports you to a coastal paradise.From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality that made us feel like longtime regulars, despite it being our first time there. Jerry himself checked in on us multiple times, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was nothing short of perfection.Despite the bustling Friday crowd during Easter weekend, Jerry’s accommodating nature and honesty about the wait time made our decision to stay worth it. And oh, was it worth it! As we strolled along the docks, soaking in the ocean breeze, anticipation built for what turned out to be a phenomenal experience.The food, oh the food! Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and made with the utmost care. From the freshest seafood to delectable appetizers, every bite was a delight to the senses.But it wasn’t just the food that left a lasting impression. The atmosphere of the restaurant, with its cozy yet vibrant ambiance, added an extra layer of charm to the entire experience. Surrounded by the sound of waves and the sight of boats swaying gently in the harbor, we found ourselves lost in the moment, savoring each bite and each precious moment spent at Jerry and the Mermaid.In a world where exceptional dining experiences are rare gems, Jerry and the Mermaid shines brightly as a beacon of excellence. Whether you’re a local or a visitor passing through, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at this seaside paradise. You won’t regret it!”

“Amazing ambiance and the food is also great. Service cannot be beat! You must try this place when in Hampton Bays (which is quickly becoming a culinary destination). You must also take a quick tour of the grounds when visiting. Beautiful! Nothing bad to say about this place!”

“Every dish we ordered was EXCELLENT!There is something for every palate.The owner was very attentive to all guests.I highly recommend the calamari. Try it first before adding lemon or anything. It will easily stand on its own without anything.”

“Went for lunch while in the area and was pleasantly surprised. I did a quick search for gluten free and found this place. My mother has Celiac and was over the moon that she could have anything on the menu! My shakshuka was good, she loved her chicken sandwich. But the star of lunch was the fried calamari. The place is cute and intimate, good music playing. We'll be back next time we're near.”

“Food was excellent and service was very attentive. I think prices are reasonable. Was disappointed that we had to sit in the other room on Valentine's Day...it was bright and no fireplace. No real decor. The main dining area was much nicer.”

“Got my breakfast here on my way to work and I got a cheese cornbread thing (I'm sorry I don't remember the word for it) and it made my morning. It's so good I wish I had gotten two!”

“this place was awesome! Great century old/ modern atmosphere with a ton of history.owner owns a bison farm i believe, so the meat if farm fresh.Great drinks, great food, great people.A real gem for the area!”

“Always Delicious and amazing experience. Is a fusion of guatemalan/latin/ american cuisine. Everything is so delicious. The owners are amazing. It is very recommended for a small bite or a full meal.”

“This gelato was so delicious and authentic! I tried hazelnut, pistachio and Nutella. Highly recommend coming here. Nice sitting area outside but nowhere to sit inside. Also cash only.”

“Wife and I had dinner there the other night food is delicious. Highly recommend it we had burn brisket, sweet taters, and some kind of other Parmesan crusted potatoes. Definitely go back there.{ REAL FOOD }Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian tater saladGluten-free items also I can’t remember what though”
