“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!“

“Great food and the owner is very nice as well“

“We went to Harvest House before a show and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was relaxed but lively, and even though we sat at the bar it felt like we were part of the whole room. By the time we finished, the place was buzzing in the best way.

The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating when we arrived a little behind schedule, and made sure we could still enjoy everything without feeling rushed.

We ordered from both the specials and the main menu and enjoyed some excellent cocktails. Every dish felt fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. Harvest House perfectly captures that farm-to-tavern feel — warm, welcoming, and delicious. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The restaurant is all decorated for the holidays which makes this a magical place. Our waiter was attentive without being overbearing just checking in as needed. Food was good. The lounge has become our Christmas place as this was our third year and we will be back.“

“I cannot say enough about the Library Cafe, the staff and the food! We had a 50th Birthday Party in the upstairs private room overlooking the bar. The food was delicious and there was PLENTY of it! The bar/wait staff was both attentive and quick getting to all of us! The party was perfect right down to the music which they let us pick! Definitely having more events at the Library!“

“What a great spot for a private party... The room upstairs has its own bar, bathrooms, and plenty of room for people to fit, with room to spare. I had 70 people for a brunch, and it wasn't even close to tight. Superb staff, friendly and on point for service. The food was fantastic as well. Highly recommended place for a party.“

“New Years Eve & it was normal dining.. There was a special menu, but the regular menu was available as well. We ordered from both. We started w the Delicious tuna tartare.. nicely seasoned - nit over ir chicken nder w succulent, fresh tuna. The steaks (2 different cuts) were seasoned well & cooked to our liking. To-die-for truffled mashed potatoes came with 1 steak. I wasn't going to eat them (not on my diet)..haha.. They were amazing! What I couldn't eat I brought home! We weren't rushed to order ANYTHING. & really took our time & enjoyed our evening out! &.. as particular as I am about my cosmo..they got that just right, too!“

“Attended a repast for my spouses relative, nice but couldn't fully accommodate the rather large amount of ppl whom came kinda friendly staff, yet didn't know who was who. It was a bitterly freezing day and we had traveled from Delaware to long Island. We really enjoyed mingling wth those family members there“

“I recommend everyone that requires excellent pallet for their dining pleasure, service that is second to none and great mixology, then Have It Haviland’s Way“

“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.“

“We come here religiously with family once a month to try out different things on both the Kinya/Hook & Reel menu for the past two years and so far they have not disappointed us. 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.“

“This place is a GEM! The service was professional and the ambiance inviting and cozy. Frank created such a personal experience. Ask for his black book for uniquely crafted cocktails. The drinks were amazing and the food delicious. We had the char-grilled octopus, blackened fish tacos and the hanger steak. My husband and I will definitely be back!“

“The food was fresh and delicious ! The menu items were unique! The atmosphere was spacious and comfortable. The service was friendly and on point ! The staff seemed to be enthusiastic to serve us and have us try new things, took the time to explain our options and made confident recommendations. 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 😊“

“I love to travel, and Revel restaurant in Garden City, NY, is truly one of the best restaurants I have been to. The managerial staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Melissa, our server, explained everything so well, and she took her time with us. The wait staff worked with her seamlessly so that everything came out on time, and our water glasses were always full. The cuisine offered so many different choices, even for vegetarians and vegans. The vegetarian dishes I tried were a myriad of flavors, and it was so nice to experience new creations that I have never had at any other restaurant. Revel’s decor and lighting made us feel like we were somewhere very special but also comfortable. If I lived near this restaurant, I would visit frequently. We loved our experience.“

“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!!“

“This was my first time at this particular restaurant. What I will tell everyone is the food was great as well as the service. I ordered the my sunshine burger (veggie) with the mixed fries (regular &sweet potatoes). Needless to say I was unable to eat the entire burger. Try this place for yourself.“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“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!!!!“

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.“

“Went in for breakfast. Our server was decent. Walked away as I was finishing telling him my order, which came out ICE COLD & WRONG!!!! I requested a ham, COOKED/SAUTÉED ONION & American cheese omelet, fries and RYE toast with crispy bacon. My omelet was well done, the onions RAW, fries were ice cold my bacon was not cooked and not there had to tell the runner, and my toast was marble. All this for OVER &50.00!!! The server came by, we were basically finished. Asked how everything was. How would he or the runner know our order. Neither one looked at the order. NEVER AGAIN!!!“

“I've been wanting to check out this restaurant for a while now and I'm so glad I finally did. I started with the Brussels Sprouts and the Pickled Beets and both were amazing! For my entree I had the Mesquite Salmon with asparagus and potatoes and really enjoyed all of it. Lauren, the manager and bartender, was very welcoming and made a great spicy margarita. I look forward to going back!“
