Wine Bars near Middle Island

“My husband and I have been trying to go out to dinner for the longest, and finally, we got the opportunity. We chose to go to Lombardi's because it was local and the menu was extensive.This is like a hidden gem in the middle of Long Island. When we got there, we could see other patrons were enjoying themselves. Thankfully it was an older crowd, and we fit right in. No loud drunks, no loud music - the music was perfect for the atmosphere - think Frank Sinatra and the like. This place has a cozy and upscale vibe, with friendly and helpful staff. I would call it a very traditional Italian Restaurant.Let's talk about the food!We were offered a selection of plain or garlic bread. We got the garlic bread and WHOAH. SO SO good I had to control myself because I didn't want to fill up on bread before the food came. I would go back just for that bread lol.The salads that come with dinner are generous and have a nice variety of greens in them. The dressing is chef's kiss! DELISH! They are not small portions either.For dinner my husband got a pasta dish that he devoured and barely spoke because he was so into his food. This is a rare thing my husband is picky about food. I did snag some broccoli rabe off of his plate and I can say now that I want to go back and order what he had next time!I ordered something that actually wasn't on the menu, and before I even finished asking if they could make it, the lovely waitress was like "he can do it" I was astonished because in many places the chef will be a jerk about special requests and some flat out refuse.IT WAS THE BEST CHICKEN PICCATA I HAVE EVER HAD, I was so happy. The portion was huge, the flavor knocked my socks off. This is my all-time favorite dish and I order it everywhere. Lombardi's definitely made it the best.Lastly they have AMAZING coffee lol. The kind of coffee that has a quality taste to it, I suspect it might have been a 100% arabica blend. I drank it black and it was smooth with no bitterness.My hubs had a cannoli that was the size of a house, but I skipped desert because I was too full.There is a 100% chance we will be going back there very often in the future considering we live locally.“

“The food we got was delicious. My wife had the cauliflower crust flatbread, which was a little sweeter than she expected because of the jam on it, but still very good, and I had the fish and chips. The dunks were also very good and the ambiance was a lot of fun. We sat at the high tops in the bar which is more of the loud and a lot going on seeing...because it's a bar of course which is what we wanted that night, however there were much much quieter and low key tables in the back of the restaurant for the sit down eating experience. This one is now added to our regular list of places to go.“

“As always this place is tops. Best cocktails and the food is always spot on. Best meal for lunch or dinner, flounder oreganata. Staff is always friendly and we love coming here again and again. We always meet the nicest people at the bar as well“

“Scott and staff have catered 3 parties for me and I do frequent the restaurant. They are all wonderful and the food is by far the best in the area if not all of Long Island. If you are looking for creative, delicious food you are in for a treat!“

“Intrigued by the signs in the windows exclaiming the benefits of kava, my friend and I strolled into the wonderful world of this non alcoholic bar. Being virgins to this root, we asked for guidance on what to order. This kava is supposed to have the relaxing, mellowing effects of say, Marijuana or even alcohol, but without the detriments that come with those. The young lady suggested a cold kava drink in a coconut cold mug with a slice of pineapple. There's a single, double or triple. She said it's suggested to start high and get the product built up in your system, then go down to single whilst in maintenence mode. We went with the double. We watched her spoon a large spoonful of what looked like, as another patron said, dirty water into our coconut cups! And garnished this dirty water with a pineapple. Bon Appétit! Well I have to say upon the first sip, I was waiting to be repulsed, but it actually didn't have much of a taste. As I got closer to the bottom of the cup, however, I got more flavor.. it was definitely a muddy, earthy flavor. I loved it I have to say. My friend was not a fan. Ha! I guess it's an acquired taste. The atmosphere was very chill. Seems an eclectic crowd. Young, old, parents, singles, white and.. well (us two) black! It was a cool decor. They have board games you can play. Seems a great place to chill alone with a book or laptop. It was dog friendly as well. I think if i lived here, I'd probably be a regular very quickly. Kudos!“

“Love Virgola!!! Such a hidden gem in Patchogue, with its wonderful service, enticing Italian wine selection, diverse array of charcuterie boards, and delicious cold seafood options. This is Manhattan-style ambiance offering a wonderful escape from the loud bars of Main Street. You won't be disappointed.“

“This is a great spot in Patchogue. The good is sensational, the service is great, and the drinks are delicious!! The atmosphere is so lovely!! Feels like you are truly in a beautiful garden tucked away from the hustle and bustle. A must try. Possibly the best restaurant in Patchogue!!“

“Went with my friends for the very first time. We had such a great time, Samantha was an absolute all star! Great service, she made us feel comfortable and we had a great time with her as our bartender. We are definitely coming back! Also the cheese platter we got was delicious.“

“This place is fantastic. The farm stand had great stuff from eggplants to pot pies. My three year daughter loved the playground area and the petting zoo. And as far as prices go it was way less expensive than places like white post or LI game farm. Definitely recommend this to anyone with young kids who are looking for a day out.“

“Today was my first time visiting Sonoma Grill, introduced by my friend David. Our service at the bar was exceptional by a wonderful young lady named Christina, making for a pleasant afternoon lunchin! The food was extremely good, having the steak marsala, and a portion big enough for a 2nd meal!Hats off to Sonoma GrillParking: All good!“
