“We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Jon Barrios and Jimmy Hahn! They nailed all of our visions. There is not one thing we would change about our wedding day. We enjoyed every single moment from start to finish. Jon goes above and beyond to make sure that there is not a stress or a worry for the couple. The staff truly makes you feel like you’re royalty and that they genuinely care about your happiness. The day was filled with gorgeous views, delicious food and drinks, and so much love and fun! I am forever grateful to the staff at View for making our day picture perfect.“

“Dined with Scot as our server Tues eve. The food was excellent, as it always is, and Scot made sure everything went smoothly. The appetizer came out quickly, and good pace between the app and the main course, which had generous portion and, as noted above, tasted great! He checked with us, and delivered drink refills as needed as well. We had a great time, and will certainly be back.“

“I had a wonderful afternoon with my best friend at the Mad Batter. It was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised by the food, service and atmosphere. I appreciated the ample parking lot too. I think it would be a great place to bring young girls or to have an event like a bridal/baby shower.“

“Had a delicious brunch this morning. Place was spotless, staff was incredibly friendly and professional. Decor is bright and Long Island beachy. Will be back“

“The best breakfast and price I have found in suffolk county!!!!!“

“Went on a busy Saturday night, it was very hectic in there, but not like in an NYC type of way. Everything was honestly organized, and people were getting their food and drinks in a timely manner. Wasn’t a fan of the “Figgy Smalls”, tasted like medicine, but the Dark Cherry Bourbon Sour was amazing. The Grouper was amazing sitting on top of the risotto, perfect for a fall evening. We will definitely be coming back!“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“Celebrated my daughters 17th birthday tonight, the staff was very attentive and accommodating; the octopus appetizer was amazing the entrees and cocktails are fantastic! We will definitely be back!“

“The Applebee's Grill and Bar at Brentwood, NY in Longisland, NY.

Although I do come here occasionally.

The Sirloin meal is worth every penny.

However, Jasmine - our waitron on 12/08 around 1:25 pm made the visit exceptional.

I must also mention that Supervisor Penny was superb as well.

I hope somehow the Corporate take notice and treasure these two individuals for their outstanding service.“

“The initial bartender was very slow to acknowledge me at the bar - there were only four of us customers at the bar total, so it's not like I was lost in a sea of people. The shift change brought better service. All in all, it was everything I expected from a TGIF. I'd go back.“

“The place was hopping, and we were seated 15-20 minutes past our reservation, but the service was great (shout out to Jackson, the hardest working server ever)! The fried calamari is huge (4 people), and my scallops and husband's burger were delish! The main reason I gave 4 stars was that the crab cakes weren't great (should use jumbo lump).“

“The food was great and being tthat it looked like they need more help. The server was great and very friendly“

“The food is always fresh and deliciously prepared. Staff and owners are very friendly and accomodating for dietary restrictions (gluten free). Good bar too.“

“Good place for a quick bite and drinks. The bar seen is good. I have a few drinks, meet some good people, and watch the game.

Kid-friendliness: Kids welcome 🙏

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is on ground level and they have double doors.“

“Stopped in to kill time while my phone was being repaired. I had the steak sandwich that was unbelievably delicious, couple bloody Mary’s which were incredible.
The staff greeted you with smiles and were very friendly.
And from 10am-5pm is happy hour so certain drinks are two for one which you cannot beat.
I can’t wait to try the entire menu :-)“

“Outstanding food ! Great value. Great staff! Go as soon as you can!!!“

“good food, great atmosphere“

“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible.“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“

“We met friends for dinner and wow this place did not disappoint!! All of our food selections were off the “What's New and Exciting” section and what a great choice. This section is changed weekly so you know you’ll get some unique selection. Justin was an our waiter and he recommended an amazing dessert Macedonian Cookie make sure you save room for this!“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Lavasia during my visit, and she truly made the experience exceptional! From the moment we were seated, her friendly demeanor set the tone for a wonderful meal. She was incredibly attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always topped off and our meals arrived promptly.

What stood out most was her attention to detail, she remembered every special request we made and even went out of her way to offer helpful recommendations from the menu. Her professionalism and positive attitude made us feel welcome and valued as customers.

If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. She turned a good meal into a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and hope to be seated in her section again!“

“To start my review, I just wish there were more stars in the food and service category. Trio deserves 10 ⭐'s for both.This restaurant handles two types of food service, restaurant seating and catering for small to large parties. I've now experienced both. My most recent was a repast after a funeral. When everyone is emotional, the last thing the family needs is problems with the food service. Well, in our case, more people showed up than were originally expected. The staff at Trio didn't miss a beat. They set up additional tables in a flash and quickly had the tables set. We had buffet style dining and the selection was outstanding, with something for everyone. From soup to nuts, everything was delicious. They had fish, beef, vegetarian selections and even offered coffee and dessert. (by the way, if I had known how good the desserts would've been, I might have eaten a little less dinner.)The service is impeccable, everything is clean and fresh, the linens and tablecloths were spotless.I'd like to add that Trio is on the grounds of the Holbrook Country Club. You can grab lunch and drinks after you play, just show up and they accommodate parties of all sizes. You won't be disappointed!“

“The tasty food options are always changing, with some favorite staples remaining. The cocktails are also seasonal, which I love. Ambience is cozy and quirky. They're in between locations right now so no liquor license, but they let us know ahead of time and we were more than happy to BYOB (and in my case a premixed Manhattan—they provided me with a coupe glass and ice to shake my cocktail). Looking forward to checking them out on Main Street soon.“

“We just had our daughter’s Sweet 16 party at Butterfields, and it could not have been better! All our guests loved the delicious food and the lovely decor. The entire staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. Highly recommend!“

“Our meal at Chatter's was great! The service was top-notch, thanks to Amanda. The food was served quickly and the presentation was great. Amanda really impressed us with her customer service skills! Chatter's is lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.“

“Everything was so delicious“

“the fish bowls are such a good drinking investment lol !!“

“Went on a Tuesday night which happened to be Karaoke night. It was a fun evening with a full house of people of all ages. I had the Lobster Bisque (excellent) and the fried clams, also good. I intend to make it a regular stop. It is outdoor dining only.“

“It's just an event space. Perfect for meetings and medium sized events. There was food served but it was catered by someone other then owners.

Parking: Location was difficult to find parking and the way the parking lot is very difficult to maneuver“

“Doreen Katen and her wonderful and professional associates and staff make renting your summer dream, or offering such a rental, a pleasant and easy experience. Expect a great experience, and you won't be disappointed.“

“Best heroes ever!!! Been going there for 30 years!!!“

“Great place. Thank you from the US Military Vet MC“

“I took my mom here as I wanted to take her out on a date together. My mom deserves to get out and enjoy the lovely weather we have been getting up in the Long Island area. We came to this spot (by the way it's called "American Standard"). I think the bar/restaurant change the name.This spot offers live music, we enjoyed a guitarist play during the course of our stay here.We ordered the alligator fritters as our appetizer and catfish poh boy with a burger that had all kinds of galore in it.The food was fantastic, very delicious. The alligator fritters was phenomenal. It's rare to find a bar/restaurant to offer alligator in this area as there aren't any alligators or crocodiles nearby. It was well cooked, not dry. The dish presentation was cute.The meal was very filling as the burgers came with fries or side salad. The poh boy came with the same option, but my mom ordered salad. The food portions were perfect.The spot also offers a wide selection of alcohol, including many choices of craft beer. I highly recommend coming here to have a good time. It's very causal.“

“Wanted to give a huge shout out to the Tap Room (Patchogue) (specifically the Patchogue location). We were invited to a family party, buffet-style. I reached out to the restaurant via email, because I wanted to make sure they could accommodate my daughters food allergies -- eggs, soy, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and peanuts, or I would plan ahead and pack snacks she could safely eat instead. The Culinary Director, Joseph Walsh, called me the next day. He spoke to me for awhile, went over her food allergies, made some suggestions, and assured me that he would come up with something she could safely eat. The morning of the party, he sent me an email to confirm we were coming and his suggestions for a safe meal (rice and beans sauteed with bell peppers, chicken cutlet w/ no egg, and a mixed fruit salad). I emailed him back that just rice and beans and the fruit salad would be fine, because she doesn't eat chicken. He emailed me back, concerned that rice and beans and a fruit salad wouldn't be enough, but I assured him it would be fine because she's only 7 and has anxiety over trying new foods at restaurants (understandably), so sticking with rice and beans and fruit salad, which she's comfortable with, would be perfect. At the event, Joseph told my relative that he wanted to talk to us, and when we arrived, he came to introduce himself, told me that he was making sure everything was prepared separately and would be ready for her shortly. Absolutely fantastic service. We truly, truly appreciated all his care and effort, because that's sadly not the norm most of the time when we try to eat out. Thank you Joseph at the Tap Room in Patchogue!“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“
