This spot is both fantastic and an unexpected find in the beach town that is Long Beach, LI. I've attended a private party here and everything I had was fantastic but just recently had my first casual dinner there. I went with a party of 6 to celebrate a bachelorette which enabled us to try multiple appetizers!
AMBIANCE - 5/5
When you walk in it's easy to notice the rustic yet cozy atmosphere. So much so that you wouldn't expect the high end menu options you're about to encounter. Each menu appears to be hand written and although there are some more regular items, the chef often changes things up to introduce new items.
FOOD - 5/5
I easily would have ordered more than half of the appetizers if I could have but we settled for 3. My favorite, and I think many of the others' favorite was the artichoke. It was absolutely delicious and paired nicely with olive oil and what tasted like a garlic aioli. I also really enjoyed the beet salad. The added Greek yogurt was light and the pistachios added a lovely texture to the salad. The artichoke was good but not nearly as flavorful as the other two dishes.
For my entree I was between the Iberico double cut pork chop or the bison strip steak with chimichurri. I ultimately went with the later and was super happy with my choice. I was surprised to find that the strip steak came out pre slice but it was still perfectly medium rare. I've had bison burgers before but never a bison steak and it did taste similar to the taste of a bison burger but in steak form which was really nice. It was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri sauce went really well with it. My friend let me try a piece of her Iberico which the waiter described as the wagyu of pork. The pork chop was also delicious and came with a peppercorn sauce that looks kind of like a light gravy but was much lighter than it looked and complemented the pork very well. The pork was also cooked perfectly which is a feat in itself since it's so hard not to overcook pork chops. Dessert was a deliciously light cheesecake with a wine based sauce and a chocolate mousse type dessert.
SERVICE 5/5
In our group we had one person with celiacs and thus could not have gluten. Our server was able to tell her what was gluten free or could be made gluten free. At the end of dinner the server thought one of the two desserts had gluten in it but then someone who I believe to be a chef came out and confirmed that both desserts are gluten free! Since it was a bridal shower they were very sweet and offered us little round of celebratory alcohol, though I don't recall what kind. Three of us weren't drinking so they brought out glasses with sparkling water so we could join in on a toast.
100/10 would recommend! Thanks for having us!

Best place in the area! Staff is great, food is consistently amazing. Try the fried artichokes and the hummus, you won’t regret it! Also very good wines on the menu.

AWESOME BURGER! AMAZING VIBE HERE!! THIS PLACE IS BOOKED AND BUSY FOR A REASON! Absolutely will come back here. Great date night spot. Or come and sit solo at the window. $25 for the burger &fries. I guess that’s fair in 2025!

Great service. Beautiful intimate atmosphere and delicious food. Can’t wait to come back.
Amazing atmosphere, great staff, unfortunately the food while unconventional and delicious was way too salty. Pork, duck sausage & burger were all way too salty. Even the burnt cheesecake was extremely salty. That was unexpected. Maybe they use the big coarse salt granules and are heavy handed with the salt? Hope to come back to a different experience.

The swordfish and artichoke appetizers were delicious, but the burger was underwhelming and the bun was totally burnt. Everything was too salty.

So much to say about this place.. But I’ll start with it’s an absolute must!
A slight mishap with our reservation, but they went above and beyond to accommodate us. The menu is superior & jam packed with flavor. The Cesar salad is phenomenal along with the artichokes & zucchini atop crusted bread for appetizer. The bucatini pasta here was by far the best I’ve ever had & the lamb sausage was everything you’d expect and then some.
When I tell you the staff here is incredible, I mean it! They’re attentive & kind and they made the experience all the more perfect.
My husband & I were celebrating our 12 year anniversary by going somewhere local and new and it’s safe to say we found a new favorite spot. My only regret was not taking a single picture, but that’s how dang good it was.
