50 Best Cocktail Bars near Melville

“I had an issue with my room facing the open atrium area and the noise level from the bar extending past quiet hour. The front desk manager, Stephen, immediately addressed my concern and moved me to a room in a more desirable location. I also found the front desk and concierge lounge employees to be very friendly and helpful. My room service attendant, Holly, made sure my order was as specified and she delivered it with a smile!! I really appreciated her kind demeanor. I felt my business mattered to everyone I came in contact with at this Marriott property and would not hesitate staying here again when my travels bring me back to Long Island.“

“Alicia, the owner, takes great pride, in her restaurant. And it shows!! The food and service is great!! Brunch is my favorite!“

“Perfect little cozy spot for Breakfast/ Lunch with a European Atmosphere, spacious with seating that allows privacy and comfort.
Breakfast was great , I loved the touch of Lettuce on the plate which was tasty along with the potatoes and Eggs . The only thing that bothered me was the Bill which much to my surprise was $ 5.00 for a small cup of coffee.. that added $ 10 for my friend and myself. The issue is NOWHERE on the menu is it listed .. Our Waiter David was attentive and pleasant, but he should have mentioned that a cup of coffee is extra or offered a glass of Orange juice .. I’ll go there again because I really like the place and it’s close to my home .. next time I’ll ask if the glass of water they put in the table is in place of a nice morning cup of coffee…“

“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.“

“This is such a beautiful space. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. The pizza is amazing and the location is perfect.“

“FANTASTIC! I have been to ALOT of ramen spots in Long Island and this is among the top 5% best ramen. I sat inside for lunch. Incredibly rich broth. Chashu that does not taste old or too much fat - it was amazing. They did not skip out on toppings. I really recommend this spot :)“

“What a great restaurant! Angelo and Oscar run a tight ship. Can’t wait to revisit.“

“Went in as a party of 3 on a weekend. We lucked out and got free parking a few blocks away. In the morning this place is a small Cafe, but in the eve it is a bar with smallish menu. We all got cocktails and appetizers. Cocktails are $18 and are very strong. The hummus platter was $22 and we enjoyed the olive one a lot (no chickpeas?) The pulled pork sliders were OK and I enjoyed the wings. Tables are small and decor is modern.“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Everything that my family have eaten from this amazing place has been delicious! Only one more item left to try which gives us a reason to go back ! Then plan to do a lot of replete orders.“

“We were looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat before going to a lecture at the Merrick Public Library. The photos of the food looked fabulous, so we decided to give Bourbon & Brews a try. We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“Vauxhall has been one of our favorite places for a burger or the fried chicken sandwich. Yesterday, 5//7/24… we went for a late lunch. I decided to try the new Double Smash burger. It was by far, the best burger I’ve ever had. My wife had her usual, the fried chicken sandwich. We’ve never had anything but a great meal and drink at our favorite Huntington haunt.“

“Great place to eat and bring your puppy. Bentley enjoyed a few raw patties and I enjoyed a burger. Great placement! Loved the teddy symbol on the burger. The teddy bear toothpick was nice touch. Quiet and quick. Will be coming back!“

“Surf and Turf special was wonderful and service was well trained but what can't be trained is the kindness of the staff and the willingness to go above and beyond to make the occasion special.“

“Had such fun at the murder mystery!“

“Excellence at Every Visit
As many of my followers know, I don’t believe in one-and-done restaurant reviews. Real opinions come from returning multiple times to understand the consistency, quality, and service over time. That’s how a restaurant earns the label of being truly great.

Last night we returned to Piccolo and once again it delivered.

A warm greeting, a quick stop at the bar, running into friends for some laughs, and then a beautiful dinner with my wife in one of Huntington’s most charming dining rooms. Even with a lively crowd, the atmosphere somehow melts into the background and lets you focus on the moment and the person across the table.

Jeremy took great care of us while Jason stopped by to check in, something that always makes the experience feel personal.

We started with the wedge salad and a thoughtful complimentary tuna tartare that was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced with avocado.

My wife chose the Orecchiette Caroline — perfectly balanced with hot & sweet sausage, broccoli rabe, tomatoes, garlic and oil.

I went with the weekly special Braised Boneless Beef Short Rib with horseradish cream, rich jus, crispy onions, vegetables and mashed potatoes — tender, flavorful and beautifully presented.

We finished with their house-made carrot cake and cappuccino, which remains one of my favorites.

Piccolo continues to deliver warm hospitality, exceptional food, and that perfect romantic neighborhood atmosphere that keeps us coming back.

Some restaurants you try once.
Others become favorites you return to again and again.

Piccolo is one of them. 🍷🍝“

“Delicious food and a great service too!!“

“Last Sunday I hosted a 50th birthday celebration for my son. We had explored several different restaurant options and when we arrived at Mangia e Bevi on Mothers' Day we were immediately greeted by the assistant manager Debbie. She enthusiastically explained the menu options, showed how the tables would be set up and, even, introduced us to the team members who would be our servers. We were not only impressed by how beautiful the restaurant is, but how genuine and forthright Debbie was. Fast foward, our party consisted of 23 people who have not stopped talking by how delicious the food was, how attentive the service was (shout out to Carmela and Chiara), how solicitous Debbie and Manager Stacie were, how efficient the bartender, kitchen staff, hostess and every other employee were! We enjoyed the rice balls, coconut shrimp, crab cakes, baked clams, calamari, pasta, veal, chicken, salmon, cannoli, cookies, wine, beer, prosecco, and fabulous craft cocktails!!! Shall I go on? Do not hesitate for a second and book your next party there!“

“Delicious food and great service!!“

“Fantastic authentic flavorful food“

“I enjoyed a Friday night dinner there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartenders were very attentive.
The dining room is small,outdoor seating and seating at the bar is available.

They are able to open the large windows in the front of the restaurant and gives an all around al fresco dining experience. It was a very warm day, and I would have preferred air conditioning but it was still nice.

I didn't have a reservation, but was able to sit at the bar. Which was very nice.

They have a good drink menu with nice cocktails and a good selection of wines and beers. I went with a Peroni.

The menu is small but the is a great selection. The roasted chicken wings were delicious, the Uncle Frank's Pizza and the Meatball Pizza were excellent!

I will go back to Uncle Franks but will remember to make a reservation.“

“I've been playing there for years and Dave and staff have always been awesome to me and my bands!“

“The food is amazing, and the staff is always friendly and on point. I highly recommend this place to everyone if you are in the NYC area. It is in Forest Hills, Queens, NY right next to the Forest Hills train station. ----“

“Fun time with friends! Our waiter Puma was excellent!“

“Hubby and I went there last night for first time. Great experience, amazing food and nice crowd. This is going to be our new go to spot on fridays.“

“We worked the same event yesterday and I knew right away I would be visiting them for my lunch! So amazing and the ladies were super friendly! I tried the Taco, Bacon Mac & Cheese, Philly Cheesesteak, and Banana Nutella. I Hope to see them at another event soon so I can try the other flavors (I heard the spinach artichoke is a must have!)“

“Tasting room is a hit! From the atmosphere to the food and the creative cocktails that they’re making this place is a very welcomed addition to the downtown Farmingdale area. From the burger to the lasagna, everything we ordered was yummy. The owner is a very hard-working long-standing business owner Who puts his heart and soul into his establishment. I highly recommend giving Tasting Room a try.“
