Tapas Restaurants near Merrick, NY

“Off the Brook is the best place on earth. It is my Regal Beagle The food is way to good for a neighborhood watering hole The menu is well conceived and absurdly good The staff is warm, friendly, and happy to see you. If you go to OTB and you don't like it, there's something wrong with you.“

“We were four for brunch on Sunday, April 7th. Service was attentive, but a bit awkward. Our beverages and orders came quickly, some confusion as they were placed but no one started happily when the runner returned with the last plate and had to rearrange the others meals to make them correct. I was the last to start my meal as I had been munching on salad. I must say I was intensely disappointed with my Croque Madame. It as an over cooked reheated crunchy painfully dry mess. For those of you who are familiar with this amazing French staple the bread is soft and grilled, and the ham and Gruyère inside should be thick, warm and melted - not crunchy and dried to dark brown. If anyone had checked on us before we all had finished, and my friend were ready to exit - I would have complained and had a re-do or ordered something else. Other than this? We had a pleasant experience.“

“Amazing place. Best sushi I've had in a while. Great service. If you are thinking of going, don't think, just go you won't regret it. Everything is delicious and fresh. They're wasabi beef is to die for, fried oysters are delicious and sushi is, extremely yummy!“

“This place is awesome! The staff is always on point, especially last night when my husband and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. The food was excellent! I had a small issue with the entree I ordered but the staff was so quick to fix the problem and make sure I was taken care of. Cannot wait to return!“

“Celebrated son's Birthday...was looking for a special experience. French Onion Soup, Clams Casino, Filet Mignon, and Stuffed Pork Chop plus two scrumptious unique deserts hit the mark. I recommend Chadwick's if you are looking for what was only available in Manhattan. Delicious food, and professional staff who knows how to make the customer feel appreciated.“

“This spot is a real gem for a chill night out. Not everything blew my mind, especially the ramen was kinda alright, not outta this world, but still solid. Service took a hot minute, which was a bit weird because the place wasn't packed, but the folks working there were cool, so no big deal.“

“Lost At Sea is a cozy restaurant with a charming vibe, making it a good destination for a date. Seated at the bar, we embarked on a culinary journey that exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, warranting a solid five-star rating. The chef's bold approach to cooking resulted in dishes bursting with flavors that left a lasting impression on our palates. The outstanding whitefish dip was noteworthy, a true gem that elevated our dining experience to new heights.However, we hit a snag with the clarified Old Fashioned. Despite its intriguing concept, this cocktail fell short of expectations. Devoid of its quintessential bourbon essence and overwhelmed by excessive sweetness, it failed to capture the timeless allure of an Old Fashioned. The bartender attributed the sweetness to an "illusion in my brain," which perplexed me. It was a disappointing choice that left me nursing a hangover the next day.Despite this minor setback, the staff remained attentive and courteous throughout our visit, contributing to the overall warmth of the experience. GO!“

“What a wonderful experience!! The vibe is just as what people have said. Feels like home with great attention in service from the staff. The foid felt like it was cooked from the heart. You can literally see the care they take in cooking the meals.We also appreciated when the owner stopped by our table on his way out and asked if we needed any explanation of menu . He obviously wasn't working today but thought enough to stop to talk to us..This tells you the level of service you get. And you have to take a stroll around place. Not a big place but they have eating areas in the coolest nooks and cranies of the place. Highly recommend!!!“

“First time at Plancha. What a gem! I had a lemondrop to start. A perfectly balanced drink. We ordered grilled shrimp. Had a panini that was a house special with mortadella. Yum. The octopus was tender served over butter beans. Brussel sprout salad was very nice. Pan con Jamon, so good. Dessert bread pudding and lemon chess pie was a wonderful way to end the meal. The staff is very nice and talented. Check out the menu before you go, as they have so much to offer. It is a great casual place with fantastic food in Long Island.“

“I would given it a 5 star if my son and I didn't felt rushed to order and leave. We were excited to eat here because it's our 1st time but our server was kinda rushing us to order and leave. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way. As soon we sat down and gave us the menu, she asked what we wanted for appetizers, I had to tell her to give us a few minutes to decide because we didn't even get to open the menu yet. My son asked for a container to bring home his left over. Server came with the container and the bill not even asking if we wanted anything else. My son had to ask for the dessert menu even after handing us the bill. Overall, everything was good except for the rushed experience.“

“Absolutely delicious food, drinks and dessert! I had no clue this was only a mile away from me, but now that I know, I can’t wait to go back. Our waitress told us the chef changes the menu often, so I’m eager to see what other incredible things he cooks up!Only negative is the lack of parking, but we parked on the side street!“

“I chose this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. I reserved an outside table. Very cozy place. Excellent service. Delicious and fresh food. We ordered flavored sangria, seafood stuffing mushrooms, grilled octopus, blue point oysters and paella marinara. Everything we ordered was very good. I recommend this restaurant. Will definitely come here again to try other dishes.“

“Wonderful! In the mood for a casual meal, we decided to try the bistro. We had been to the Bellmore location and were very pleased. The mushroom Bisque was excellent, the cauliflower appetizer was perfect, and the Loco Moco burger was wonderful. For dessert we had the brownie sundae and Bavarian crème churros. Outstanding! Service by Alison was amazing. Love this place!!!!“

“Excellent food! The New Zealand lamb chops are the best I ever had. The spinach and mashed potatoes were also excellent. The waitress came to us after 25 minutes and no one brought us the soup.What annoyed me was that I was charged a $2.00 "S/C: CC Fee" which the waitress couldn't explain. This was in addition to the credit card charge, which I was aware of.“

“I loved my first experience at Vintage Bar and Bistro. The service is super fast and all the staff were very friendly. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and filling. I also liked that they had a lot of variety, including vegetarian options. There is also plenty of parking in the back, making Vintage easy to access and a wonderful overall experience. I will definitely be returning!“

“Had an awesome dinner at The Union in Eisenhower Park tonight! The place has had a makeover and it looks amazing. The steak and sushi? So, so good. Big shoutout to Nikko and Peter for being super welcoming and making sure everything was spot-on. My family and I can't wait to go back.“

“Our favorite tapas place. This evening we had the short rib bruschetta, the meat melts in your mouth. The truffle fries are amazing as always. The funghi pizza was delicious! Our server Eddie was attentive without being overbearing. A+ as always.“

“Come here with my family and it never fails to disappoint. We have been coming here for a bit and everything is pretty good. The servers are pretty nice and hard working and the ambiance of the place is pretty wide. Can't wait to come here again for the food and drinks. Come together with some friends and family and try it as well.“

“Went to the Cuban for a date with a smoking hot chick. The atmosphere was electric during the day, I can only imagine what it's like at night. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious too. We had the coconut shrimp, ropa vieja, and a salad. Will def be back.P.S - Valet parking is a must“
