Five stars for ambiance . Place and views are gorgeous. Got loud toward the end of our dining (7pm) but we were in the room with water views. The other room was much quieter. Food- good but not the best. Baked clams - delicious. I had pasta A la vodka sauce with chicken. Plentiful portion but taste was lacking . Our whole party ate different dishes with same reaction, Service- they really did their best but at times felt awkward . Possibly a communication gap . But they were nice. We asked three times to cover a dish or keep it in the kitchen to stay warm since one of our party wasn't there yet. We were upfront about this that our last guest was late or maybe not coming and we'd just ‘take the dish home'. They brought it out a few mins after the rest of table . Again asking for maybe another plate to cover the hot dish. They didn't seem to understand.  Overall food was ok . Go for the views and beauty but culinary masterpieces it is not .

I will start by saying that I have been going to this restaurant for many years . It is a shame how bad the service has become . The food on the other hand is excellent, I have never had a bad meal here. We start by sitting and ordering a few cocktails before ordering any apps or etc. After 10 minutes the waitress comes back to take an app order with ( no drinks). We order the apps and tell the waitress to hold off on the main order as to not get everything at once. We wait 10 more minutes and still no drinks then another waitress comes over because she can see we are looking around . We tell her we we've been waiting awhile for drinks , she apologizes and checks with the bartender . 10 minutes later the apps come out . Then the bread. Our waitress asks if we would like to order drinks... We did 30 minutes ago.. The drinks come , the food is always great and it was. We order dinners , and another round . Dinner comes out , we ask for grated cheese and the wait is on again. As a matter of fact just listening around everyone would ask for grated cheese at tables around us . Just bring it out with the food !!! . I think the problem was they were having a wedding in the catering section therefore they were neglecting thier restaurant patrons.

Excellent Italian restaurant, I started eating at Lombard's when it was just a pizzeria in Holbrook. The food is amazing and the servings are more than ample. The service is great and location on the bay is amazing. A must try restaurant that you won't be disappointed.

Tonight we had a wonderful dinner! We've relocated to MA and when we knew we were returning to LI, this was the first reservation we made! Excellent service from a super attentive staff and fabulous food. We never felt rushed and the staff couldn't been kinder. Highly recommend!

Our first time here, and we were happy with our experience. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, and quick to attend to us. The linguini with white clam sauce was superb in flavor and freshness, and the stuffed filet of sole was equally perfectly cooked, with a delicious crabmeat stuffing. Our only disappointment was that both dishes were swimming in sauce, WAY too much. Perhaps the kitchen was off a little because of a really big party in their catering hall, but it was still a really good meal and enjoyable dinner. We'd certainly go back.

We ate outside at a table right along the water. It was absolutely beautiful. Food was reasonably priced and delicious 🌸. Waiter was great too!

Had another wonderful experience at Lombardi’s on the Bay. The happy hour is fantastic, with unbeatable views of the Great South Bay. The food and drinks never disappoint, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. A special thanks to our favorite bartender, Donavan, who makes every visit even better.”
We had dinner tonight with friends and the service was incredible. James came up to us multiple times to check in and even moved us to a better table. Our waitress was outstanding! The food was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you to James, Jerry Lombardi and the waitstaff for a wonderful evening.

Food and service is consistently excellent. However, our anniversary dinner experience was marred by a very loud group of 4 sitting in the corner next to us. Their loudness from alcohol intake was worsened even more when they were offered “complimentary drinks from Mr. Lombardi.” Shame on you

Lombardi's on the Bay truly shines when it comes to service. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations—he was always just the right amount of attentive, checking in without being intrusive. James, the manager, took the time to personally introduce himself and ensure everything was to our liking. He even shared a few behind-the-scenes insights about the menu. His hands-on approach and genuine care for the guests made the experience feel extra special. It’s rare to find service that so effortlessly blends professionalism with warmth!
