50 Best Cocktail Bars near Locust Valley

“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!!“

Food looks great and tastes great. Their service is also top notch. Shout-out to Ian for the amazing service and always getting our orders right down to the letter.“

“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 !

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 😊“

“By far the best new restaurant in Mamaroneck in years! great food and service.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“I held a mid-size event at the Atlas restaurant with ~60 people (adults and kids) for my father’s birthday. It was perfect. I didn’t want anything too decorated but it was formal, maintained well, and the entire event was run smoothly. Special thanks to Hersh/Harsh and another man whose name I unfortunately didn’t get- they were gracious and helped me with last minute set up and were there to help with any requests. They even packed up left over food. I would absolutely recommend the Roslyn Hotel/the Atlas for intimate, low maintanence but classy events. The tables were set up beautifully, the bar was well kept, and the bathrooms were clean. Mary Jo is who helped me plan and she was there to answer all my questions and perfect the menu to cater to all my guests. The food itself was also great! Thank you everyone (this is the first event I planned and I am so thankful for how easy it was)!“

“Emilio's is absolutely fabulous! Sergio and his team are the absolute best! The food can't be beat and no matter what you order is always delicious and on point! Went there for a birthday/ Christmas dinner was not disappointed at all and we were all treated like Queens!“

“I started off looking for “just a bar” and stumbled across Teddy’s. What I found was a modern interior with a pleasant staff that was willing to accommodate anything and everything. Oyster Bay is not the friendliest place for minorities but genuinely, I feel like I am home at Teddy’s. Thank you!“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend“

It is a must if you love Italian food!!“

I liked the vibe so much that when a friend wanted to meet up for a nice glass of wine, that became our destination. Super friendly bartender Hailey, pointed us to the perfect glass tonight. We paired it with a yummy flatbread to share. Great vibe, great food, great service!“

“Champagne House has become our go to place! Discovered this gem a few months ago and never disappoints! Decided to go with our waiter Jason’s recommendation Bourbon Street Steak. WOW just WOW It was out of this world. My husband ordered French Onion Pizzetta that to is just as delicious. Glad before we left the Chef came from kitchen speaking to other patrons and we were able to tell him how much we enjoyed our meal this evening as well as our earlier visits Highly recommend!!“

“Great environment and food selections 👍“

“Love this place! This is my go-to spot for lunch with friends and family. I highly recommend the grilled peach ricotta toast, the hot honey chicken sandwich, the everything pigs in a blanket, the crispy brussels sprouts and any of the smoothies. YUM!

The moss wall art is STUNNING!

Staff is very friendly.

The whole restaurant and bar area is really beautiful. Wish they’d bring back dinner and happy hour so I could go more often with my husband and daughter. But happy to continue to visit for lunch until then :)“

“I was a big fan of the fried fish taco (Californian?). I was very disappointed since it was replaced by Floridian. They don’t taste the same. Any chance to bring back the fried fish taco?“

“There are enough positive words to say not only what an amazing restaurant this is ..but the employees are fantastic to top it off. From meeting with Erin to guide us through my daughters Baby Sprinkle Shower until the party yesterday .. everything was seamless. Erin always stayed professional.. friendly .. caring and went above and beyond! The day of the Shower .. Kyle and Ashley were our hosts .. they were exceptional! Asked questions .. listened to requests .. professional .. friendly and made sure everything was to our satisfaction!! What a perfect day .. in a perfect Restaurant with the most perfect setting and atmosphere!! Thank you Erin, Ashley , Kyle and the Rye Bar & Grill to making the day memorable!“

“If you have only one night to spend on Long Island, this is the place. The new My Fathers Place is THE best place to see a concert on LI. The room is intimate and the sound is fantastic.And the menu far surpasses any other music venue. It's Indian-influenced and everything I've tasted is great especially at the low price-point.Imagine, half a century ago, Michael Epstein opened up the original MFP and it stands as the finest music venue perhaps anywhere. Eppy definitely belongs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.Eppy, you've hit a home run“

“Food & service were good!“
