Ristegios's Restaurant and Lounge is just a wonderful placeto dine, share a few cocktails or enjoy an evening listening to the band. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Halibut, the Montauk Roll and the Rigatoni Al la Vodka. The Coconut Martini was a great choice for a cocktail. The service and staff were excellent. Our server Victoria was top notch. The Owner Joe even took my Grandson Hudson for a tour of the kitchen, he wants to be a Chef. We finished the night with the Strawberry and Lemon Sorbet. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating with a large bar in the center of the restaurant with TV's. Parking is never a problem. Highly Recommend.

I just had my sons communion party here. I am a crazy organized person I thought I would drive this place insane. But every step of the way George and Victoria went over and beyond. Every text, every phone call they never failed me. The service was amazing Victoria guided her staff to everything we requested. George made an amazing buffet that left not one person hungry. We had a few gluten free people that he made sure to accommodate. This place is definitely a must for any party you plan. Thank you Ristegios

It is unfortunate that when my entire family showed up for our pre planned confirmed 80th birthday dinner for my mom, that the Restaurant and staff were in no way prepared we were overcharged by at least 25% and we got half the dishes we pre ordered for our family style dinner. Nothing we chose had been served. Extreme disappointment the catering Mgr although very nice is way overwhelmed and needs help. We felt like we were an afterthought and for the price we paid we could have had twice the guests. Will never do it again.

We hosted a birthday party. We had about 40 people. The staff was amazing and went out of their way to make our evening perfect. The food was excellent and abundant. Everything was excellent.Kid-friendliness: Even though we we having a buffet we asked for meatballs and pasta for the kids. Each child was given three tremendous meatballs and a huge dish of pasta.

Do yourself a favor and book your next event here, you won't regret it! Ask for GEORGE, he was very helpful, reliable and was able to accommodate all of our requests.The restaurant has an excellent location and large parking lot. The private room we chose has capacity for 45 people, has a private entrance, is very cozy and has a very nice rustic/elegant decor. The staff was VERY friendly and made our experience amazing! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious!George, we can't thank you enough for everything you did!

They have many gluten free options just tell them about your allergen concerns and they are very kind. The steak ? is delicious and always cooked to perfection ?
Let me start by saying I walked in at 4:45pm in very very casual attire. Sweats and hoodie. I apologized for that, but we were only people there. We were brought into back part of restaurant.Many empty tables, and us. Lol. I ordered a Espresso Martini made perfectly. Half dz oysters that were fresh, and grilled octopus with selected greens. Cooked perfectly, and I cleaned my plate like you should when quality of food is delightful.Our waiter(Jasson)was on point, didn't overwhelm us, and came asking how we were doing when needed. Friendly also which was nice. All in all a very nice experience, but next time I'll dress for the way a place like Ristegios deserves. :))

Service was fine. Beautiful establishment very hard to believe a place that looks so nice has such bad food. The food wasn’t made incorrectly or anything it just tasted AWFUL. Truly don’t like to leave bad reviews but everyone I spoke to had nothing good to say about this place. I’m assuming the owners were interior designers with ZERO culinary experience and obviously dont eat their own food. Wouldn’t let my dogs eat here….
All I can say is I made a reservation through open table on Valentine’s Day for 8:15 me and my lady got there at 8:10, we stood there waiting while other people that walked in were getting seated until 9:00 when we finally decided to cancel and go somewhere else, when I confronted a worker and told them that we were there before some people that got seated she simply said oh sorry. Never going to come back here and I don’t care how good the food is

We made valentines day reservations for 7:45 and weren't sat until 8:25, which I can understand working in food service maybe they underestimated or were understaffed. But I also called ahead specifically to make sure they didn't have a set valentines day menu, and they told me they didn't, which is why we chose to go here. Eventually, when we were sat they handed me a set menu, which I would have been fine paying the fixed price, however the entire menu was seafood, and I don't eat seafood. Luckily, my perfectly kind waiter was understanding as we left, but the manager and hostess' all watched us walkout minutes after being seated and didn't say a thing. When I went back to tell the hostess, they apologized and didn't get a manager or anything. The environment and ambiance was beautiful, and everyone else's food looked delicious, just wish I had gotten to eat myself. Ended up spending valentines day at applebees.

Overall I like this restaurant. The short ribs are delicious!! Flatbread pizzas are good too! Love the live bands on Friday and Saturday nights! I would recommend this place to my friends.Parking: Parking can be a problem as the lot is not big enough to accommodate the crowd, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when there is live music, although you can park in the car dealership next door if necessary.
