“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“

“I am visiting from the West Coast. I’m a wine judge and an advanced Somm.
My family drove around, looking for a place to eat, and my sister says let’s try that place and boy we were not disappointed. First off the hostess Olivia and her sister the server Alex were pleasant and professional. And the food was spot on. But What surprised me it’s a tight little wine less but very diverse. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“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.“

“This is the inside of bar“

“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!“

“The food and drinks were great and the service was excellent!!!“

“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.“

“This is now my mid-week highlight, loved Live Music Wednesday! All the staff members were welcoming and accommodating....the facilities were clean, drinks were good and there was bar food available that night. Derrick Barnett and The Statement Band were high energy as usual. The owner is a dynamic performer too!

A Wicked Wednesday night!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“unos delos mejores restaurantes en la cuidad de long island la comida es espectacular con sabor criollo ..el ambiente muy familiar“

“Excellent eatery on Atlantic Avenue. The owner is super friendly and very courteous. We are offered a free amuse-bouche starter of whipped ricotta on pita and it was fabulous. We got a few dishes of just tapas and a delicious salad. Will absolutely be my new go to restaurant. There was even live music that was another fabulous touch.“

“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 :)“

“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!!!!“

“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!“

“Love their food and ambience. The only thing that I wish they can improve is their reservation online. It never allows me to reserve for 5 people. I always have to call in. When I call in since they open for dinners only it can get difficult to reserve a spot. Other than that this place is awesome!“

“Went to Rincon Criollo for my son's birthday. I've been there before for a large birthday party. Please take into account the large party was about 40 people and the service was very good. I enjoyed this time more because it was only a table of 5 and the service was even better. The croquettes were excellent and the Vaca Frita with maduros was also excellent. Oh, I forgot...the Mojito was sooooo good. Muddled lime and mint for sure. And of course, we embarrassed our adult son with a very festive birthday celebration with the staff...bingo and thank you! Overall, a great meal and good time was had by all. Highly recommended. Muchas gracias!!“

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

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“Good spot for the family!“

“Bar Americano is an absolutely fantastic addition to our neighborhood! They offer quality drinks, excellent food, great atmosphere, and great service! All of the staff are great! The manager, Lauren is the best, she takes great care of us every time we go! If you’re looking for a place to do happy hour, they have probably be best menu in the area. Great prices on drinks and food! Shishito peppers, crispy brussels, delicious meatballs, and short rib sliders! All on happy hour plus so much more! They even offer a bottle of wine with a charcuterie board for only $35 during happy hour!
At this point, I’ve had pretty much every entrée on the menu, all are fantastic! My favorites being the spiced steak and the salmon!
Definitely check this place out!“

“Excellent customer care and help with planning my event -“

“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 love the toilets. And food. But yeah, the toilets are spectacular. And the food. Just do it.“

“Love!! Will definitely come back. Food was great. I got the steak and eggs that came with truffle fries. Portion size was perfect. I also got the mimosa flight which was worth it! Loved the vibe and the staff was friendly. Only note was that I asked for my steak medium and it was definitely on the well side, but it was still tasty.“

“Awesome food, drinks, atmosphere and service“

“OMG!! Absolutely delicious!!! This is my 10th time here and I am still impressed with the food and service. I had the Tuscany chicken melt- highly recommend and my sister had the Parmesan crusted chicken - phenomenal!! Our waiter Anthony- THE BEST! Attentive, polite and generous. Every time I visit NY- I look forward to coming here! I wish they would branch out to Florida. Compliments to the chef and staff- keep up the GREAT WORK!“

“Delicious food and a great service too!!“

“The server did a great job with navigating the menu. It was our first time going to dinner there.“

“Excellent meal and wait staff“

“I went there with my family for an early Sunday dinner. The staff were super friendly and engaged. In particular, the person that served us and looked after us was super sweet and friendly. The armosphere was very peaceful and quiet (I'd expect theis place to be hopping and super lively at other times). My group was vey well pleased with their entrees, and the appetizers were particularly well done (our salad and the fried zucchini). I'll certainly be back; a business dinner or a drink after work.“

“First time going to this place. The owners were nice enough to let my son and the Blood Cancer United charity to not only put a table inside to gently solicit donations but they gave a percentage of sales. We decided to grab a table and WOW. The pizza, apps were amazing. Our server Sam had the absolute best personality and it was a great dining experience. Can’t wait to go back“
