“Been meaning to post this... Buoy Bar is definitely the most beautiful scenic location to eat or grab a drink in the area! The inside seating is great for colder weather with a view... but when the weather is nice, you can't beat dining right on the water. There are tables along 2 docks to eat at. There are also seats and bar stands directly on the beach below the dock. There is also an adult area and a family friendly area! The sunsets are unbeatable if you go at the right time. They also decorate very well and the lights look beautiful! The drinks are good and the service is great with a very kind, attentive staff. The parking situation is an absolute nightmare if you don't live in the area, and the wait times can be very long during peak season. Definitely plan accordingly! If this review was based solely on food, I'd likely give my Surf & Turf meal a 3/5. It was good, but not anything special. The side of broccoli was almost completely raw. Overall, Buoy Bar is such a cool place and I'd absolutely recommend coming here for some apps and drinks and enjoying the views!“
“The food and wait staff were incredibly good. Their Bloody Mary's were terrific too.Parking: Free Street parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything is obe 1 level, and there are no steps. The spacing between the tables was wide as well.“
“Beautiful view on the water, you can drive the boat up to the dock. Can eat inside or outside. The food was delicious. You order and pay at the counter. They give you a locator that you put on the card at your table. Has a large bar and TV screen my grandchildren enjoy watching the ball games on.Parking: Private parking. Also has boat parking.“
“This place is going to be a favorite of mine in 2024. I recently celebrated my birthday at Harrison during brunch. The service was exceptionally attentive and personal. The food was fantastic with ample portions with left-overs tasing just as good as when dined. The music was classic rock with a lot of great classic americana portraits and photos of nostalgia. The staff was particularly attentive to our needs and we never had to wait. I can't reiterate how impressed I was with this restaurant. I must also add that the prices are very reasonable for what you get. The Harrison is five stars.“
“Kayla was our server, and supplied the vibe. She recommended the Speck pizza with hot honey, and that pizza changed my life. So damn good! I’m not kidding when I say that I loved it so much I ordered another one to go, to enjoy later that night. That smoked mozzarella ?. The Gnocchi was awesome and they even offer it in a bread bowl! The Italian sodas are also good, if you love natural ginger flavor, the apple ginger one for sure hits.“
“What a fun concept! This was so a fun and unique experience! Had to solve a riddle to get into the secret entrance inside of an ice cream shop! The drinks and staff were fabulous. We were able to hear live music in this cozy basement speakeasy! True history as well!Kid-friendliness: This is a bar in a small basement space. I would not recommend kids. I'm not sure if they are permitted. Get a sitter and go check it out!“
“BC Bistro is a very nice restaurant that serves brunch and dinner. Both times I've been here I've done brunch and both times were very good. They have a really nice brunch menu, including the awesome breakfast pizza, breakfast Risotto, and a lot of different items to choose from. It's gets pretty busy during brunch, with live music, so book s reservation!“
“This place is always spot on. Service is always with a smile, a place that remembers their regulars, consistent pours, consistently great food. Their HAPPY HOUR is an awesome deal also. The owner is always engaged with his patrons and encourages feedback.Highly recommended!!!“
“This is surprisingly good BBQ for long Island! The service is excellent: really friendly and everyone seemed proud of their food -- I love seeing that. The is good (not amazing), but if you're nearby, definitely stop in. The smoked porchetta is incredibly tender and unique.“
“I apologize for not writing this review earlier, but I did have the complete honor and privilege to Dine here this past Sunday, March 3, 2024. From start to finish it was perfect. I am in the Restaurant business and have been for the past 35 years. To be quite honest it is really hard for any establishment to float my boat, especially in this day and age. As Server Jamal was phenomenal, very professional, and understanding. I arrived with a Guest a bit late for a Sunday evening and still was treated like royalty. The Chef even came out to adhere to some requests which I found simply unparalleled. From start to finish it was an epic journey of culinary perfection and straight-out perfect Hospitality. I definitely would recommend Aperitif to anyone who needs a break from the ordinary run-of-the-mill dining experiences. Thank you Jamal and Staff, Michael“
“What an adorable little place for a cocktail! Cute and cozy vibes. Friendly bartender. Interesting and moderately priced drinks. We stopped in for some pre dinner cocktails and were really impressed with this place. Will definitely be back!“
“Moved out here a few years ago.. live literally within a mile of this joint.. never stopped by. Decided to give it a go tonight (st Paddy's day).. it was pretty busy.. but man. What a great idea. Wish I had come sooner. Joe, the owner, was bartending and was an absolute gentleman. The hostess and waiter, and the wait staff were all attentive and very nice. We got calamari and a couple of burgers. Very reasonable prices and really great food. No complaints at all. It was a very nice night out for the Mrs and I. And now, unfortunately for my wallet, I'll have to find the time to frequent this joint for dinner. Really great spot. Really felt like a part of the family immediately.“
“Drinks served with PRIDE. Frank, Eric and Vin are the best. Bouncers and owners are very friendly. Vibes and atmosphere are immaculate. Service is great even on busy nights! Live music/ DJ on weekends. Trivia on Mondays. Great happy hour Private party room is perfect for events. If you are looking for a bar in the area their are many but if you are looking for a great bar Ridge is the place.Happy appy appetizers :)“
“My twin daughters' had their Sweet 16 dinner with 20 friends. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the accomodarions....OUTSTANDING!Vegetarian options: The have plenty of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The staff was so welcoming to 20 teenagers for 3 hours! The owner and staff were so very considerate to them all!“
“The Broadway Tavern is a place tucked away in Malverne and is a great place for people to meet and socialize. They have many different events every week to keep everyone happy. The outdoor garden is a hidden gem where you can hold family gatherings and have a great time. They have great entertainment on weekends and provide the best in service. Malverne should be pleased to have such a great establishment!“
“We hadn't been to Palmers in a while so it was our first time back in over a year. The food and waitress were excellent. A lot of people working hard. The only negatives were it got very noisy around 7:00 on Saturday and the one young hostess was not very personable. She didn't greet us when we came in at all.“
“New favorite spot!Came for breakfast here and loved everything about it!Service was excellent! Our waitress was lovely and helped us decide what we were having. the menu has staples and not so average but delicious options- win! Even the fruit was so so sweet!Had the ricotta hot honey sourdough with fresh blue berries and omelets that were cooked to perfection.AND great music! We will be back for sure!“
“I had received a gift card for this restaurant as a Christmas gift and decided to dine out and use the gift card that night. Although I had reserved a table, the wait time was lenghty. The staff were very pleasant and we didn't mind the wait. We ordered the Salmon with capers. It was perfectly done and quite delectable. I would order it again. Thank you. It was a nice dining experience.“
“I just recently hosted a retirement party here for my parents, and it truly could not have been a better experience. From first contact to the day of the event, Matt was so responsive and receptive to my requests. It was a seamless and stress free planning process, which made planning a surprise party so much easier. We did cocktail style passed appetizers, which were all delicious and plentiful for our about 60 person party! The wait and bar staff was so kind and helpful as well!! Everyone had a fantastic time and my parents had a retirement party to remember! Additional bonus was how convincing the host was about bringing us to our table (grabbing 6 menus and then going to check that our table was ready), my parents were clueless that there was a party for them until the second the doors opened!“
“Amazing restaurant whether it's with friends or family! One of my best friends from college raved about this restaurant and it's easily a hidden gem! You wouldn't normally expect to have a Greek-Mexican fusion restaurant but this one is amazing! I highly recommend getting their stuffed poblano peppers (stuffed with Cauliflower as I'm vegetarian) - 11/10! They even have mocktails and I recommend the mango mule - which I absolutely loved! Will definitely be back here, but given today was Saturday, the restaurant was busy so you couldn't hear the conversation, but food and service are top notch! Also...Food Network...get here ASAP!“
“Went here on a Tuesday night with a group of 8. The food was great and the service was on point . Our waitress was attentive and polite. All the food was cooked correctly and tasted awesome. This was the second time here and won't be the last for sure !“
“My first time at this venue, I must say I had a great time. It's not a big venue, but there's plenty room to dance and socialize. Security was super tight. It's located in a nice part of Woodmere, plenty of parking, and it's feet's away from Woodmere Lanes, so you can get your Bowling on.“
“Quaint little bar with great wing and drink specials on Wednesdays and has been a quintessential part of the Wantagh bar scene for about as long as I can remember and even before that. You can always count on friendly faces and cold drinks but definitely be prepared to bump some elbows when it gets busy because it gets tight! Plenty of parking both in the from and back of the bar.“
“This is a great place and our server was fantastic, helpful and right on top of things. Very nice and large menu. Lots of tasty looking sandwiches and burgers. Really appreciated the huge beer menu and some not so well known beers. I had a Granola Brown Ale from Black Hog in CT. We started with the Crispy Cauliflower app in the chili sauce. It was excellent. My wife had the Spaghetti Squash with the pesto sauce. It was very good, on the smaller size, but a nice plate. I ordered one of the St. Patrick's specials, Corned Beef, Cabbage and potato entree. I was disappointed in the meal. While the corned beef was pretty good, the potatoes and the cabbage were undercooked and hard. took a lot away from the meal.Definitely will try the place again as the vibe and the service was first rate.“
“I went to this bar and was thoroughly amazed. Our bartender Sam was absolutely awesome. She was engaging and funny and made our time there very memorable. What was supposed to be 2 rounds turned out to be all afternoon and into the evening. She made sure to keep us thoroughly entertained and hydrated. I highly recommend this bar and Sam as the bartender. We will be coming back...“
“Attended a large party at the Irish Poet for my establishment's annual holiday party. For apps, there were chafing dishes of chicken tenders, wings, and pigs in the blanket. I preferred the chicken tenders as the wings and pigs got a bit soggy. Then we were presented with mains: salad, penne a la vodka, chicken franchise, and sliced steak (almost like pot roast), along with roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables. The highlights were the steak, potatoes, and vegetables. Most dishes were lukewarm at best. I like my salad dressing on the side, and a thicker vodka sauce. The salad had so much dressing it wilted the lettuce. For dessert, Italian cookies were served but there were hardly enough to go around. I realize a lot of people skip dessert but it wasn't a good look to be short. Overall, I think a few adjustments to the food should be made in the future. That being said, Amy was a fantastic server. In fact, all of the staff/bartenders were attentive, taking orders, and cleaning up.“
“amazing experience if you ever go there ask for the server terrel. hes very funny and a nice humble gentleman. i swear out of 35 years of my life this might be the best server i ever had. the food was amazing i got the salmon and it was cooked perfect and so tasty“
“The Tipsy Barrel is a cozy neighborhood bar located in the heart of downtown. The dark wood décor and soft lighting create a warm, welcoming ambiance. The bar features an extensive selection of craft beers on tap, with a rotating selection that highlights local breweries. They also offer a curated list of wines and signature cocktails.“
“First time here and John the bartender was awesome! We had a great time even though we went for the karaoke but she was not there. We are from Staten Island and john made the trip worthwhile. The other costumers were friendly and we all had a lot of laughs!!“
“For people coming in the first time: there's two sections; the bar and the dining area. If you are going to dine in, make sure to go on the side where they have the benches/chairs not the one by the bar. We waited a while to get served because of this. Though staff was accommodating and helpful. The crowd/atmosphere was more of like mature, dive bar-ish. The food was good; not extremely tasty, it tastes homemade and delicious. The drinks were pretty good. Reminds me of a traditional pub in Ireland.“
“V Lounge is a quaint local bar. Crystal served up some great drinks! There was a talented live band performance and the bar food was delicious. The downside is the place is really small and parking is a challenge. Finally, V Lounge would benefit from some upgrades.“
“Had a terrific lunch @ Maggianos! Our group of 6 placed our lunch orders in advance on their website. Upon arriving, our food was ready and our service was awesome. The staff brought out a happy birthday dish with cookies and candles for our friend after we casually mentioned it was her birthday. We only have an hour for lunch before returning to work and they really made our experience seamless. Can’t wait to come back for another lunch combination; salad and flatbread. Came w delicious bread!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“My 1st time here after hearing it was worth trying this spot. Came for brunch on Sat & was part of a group of 6. Our waitress was great! Very knowledgeable about the menu & was kind enough to take pics for us & even found 1 person from the group's missing earring back.Everyone totally enjoyed their meal. I had the brushetta avocado toast w/eggs!! Delicious ?Will definitely be returning.“
“We were Visiting around the area, hadn't been in a while since we moved away. But it was my husband's 50th bday and were feeling nostalgic. We stopped in at Whiskeys because we could see it had a facelift. It's More than just a coat of paint. It used to be an unsavory dive bar. Now it's great! 3 taps , that includes Guinness. Nice liquors. CLEAN. Brand new bathrooms makeovers. With the art on the walls now it's got vibe. Shift change meant we got to hang with both Steve and Alex. Really nice to see the place looking so good and brought back to life. They had a DJ coming in for Sat night. If I still lived around there I would make it my local and enjoy darts and good tunes regularly.“
“Seafood allergy havers rejoice you have finally found somewhere you can eat fried food!! Their wings are delicious, the mozzarella triangles are a must have, and if you like pretzels the giant pretzel is amazing! Justin, our server and the bartender, was incredibly nice. We will be returning regularly.Dietary restrictions: They have no seafood at all!“
“Our GO TO pub in Baldwin. It's like walking into Cheers Bar - everyone knows your name and you are greeted with a hug and a smile. Shay is just the BEST and the staff is simply amazing. We love watching games, listening to the bands and playing trivia on Thursday night. Just a GREAT hometown place to hang!!!“
“I have been coming to the Little Lounge for over 15 years. I have established friendships and even consider the staff and customers as my family. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The drinks are great and the prices are just right. The staff is personable and attentive to all customers and provide excellent customer service! Highly recommend for people to give it a try. You won't be disappointed. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner!“
“Bartender Dara was very nice and quick. 3 buck domestic and imported tap beer happy hour in small cups. Very tiny menu. I was there for an impromptu stand up comedy night. This bar has potential to be something more but falls short and is classified as a dive bar. However if you're looking for a nicely appointed dive bar, (which I enjoy) this is for you!“
“My daughter had her 5th birthday party there this weekend. The was many party packages to choose from. They had several safety measures in place that made everyone feel comfortable in their establishment. The staff work with me with our constant changes and were very helpful throughout the whole process. My daughter and her friends enjoyed the party we would recommend it to friends and family.“
“Been going here for near a year with my family and we love it here. They just adjusted the menu and the chef does great work. Alex is a great server who always takes care of us and does an amazing job. Great prices, great food and great service. Also great music.Kid-friendliness: Everyone has been super friendly when our daughter is there, to include the patrons. Everytime were there my daughter leaves a note and thanks for Alex.“
“Came here with my wife for karaoke on a Friday and we had a lot of fun. Sang a couple songs and sang along with the other folks singing. They had a solid crew of locals and regulars who come just for karaoke and the regular bar crowd. Everyone was very supportive and into it. The bartender was very nice and so was the two people running the karaoke. If you want to let loose and sing some music in a supportive, judgement free atmosphere then I highly recommend the neighborhood tavern in Farmingdale.“
“This was my first visit to JPs. I thought it was great! Nice place to sit and unwind. I played a little Quick Draw and drank my drink. Mind u not shy with the alcohol. The bartender Luisa was just the sweetest woman! U could tell she really loves her job. Very attentive and accommodating. I also tried their food. I had fried zucchini sticks and mild buffalo wings. They came out piping hit, watch your mouth, lol. Luisa makes the marinara for the zucchini sticks. Delicious!! Also the night I was there they had live rap performances from local rappers, that was fun too. All and all I would recommend JPs to anyone looking for a great night out! I will definitely go again. They also make pizza, gotta go back at least to try that. Thanks to Luisa for making my first night out in a long time a great one!!“
“This is a great local Long Island bar. The owner Steve and son Greg really run a great show and all of the bar tenders are on point in terms of their customer service and drink knowledge. The drinks are always made the right way and they always remember your order and make it comfortable for you.Their beer selection is impressive as are their alcohol selections.Many great bands come through here and this place runs great shows. Come and get to know the place. Highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Cheese Pizza and Pretzels, chips. Decent Bar options.“
“Went for a work function. Had drinks and appetizers. Corn beef/cabbage taco, calamari, wings, dip really good. Angel of NY and espresso martini delicious. We sat outside in the tent that was nice with the warm weather. Looking forward to going back.“
“We went to this bar after watching Jokoy's show at the UBS arena so you can imagine we were already hype. We pick this cause it was the closest and has two reviews but both with 5 stars. And this place did not disappoint. It's not the bar, it's the group of friends who hang at this place includes the owner. We had the best time! We even follow each other after on Instagram.“
“So we went into corner Galley at 815 (close at 9 on Sundays) but they were done seating so we went to runyons... We decided if Matty was behind the bar we'd sit with him but it wasn't so we sat at a table with Sabie. Service and food were wonderful, we both did the pasta night. Wife had the carbonara and I had the eggplant. We also got an order of calamari, which was awesome but waaaayyyy to much food for just the 2 of us. Food was great, service was great, place was vibing with the Nfc championship game on and people in the bar having fun. Great overall experience.“
“I had a very delicious French onion soup and an order of sliders, that were very filling. The service was very good. Each waitress who came by smiled and said hi ?. There was a small party in the backyard. It looks like a great venue to host an event. I would go back!“
“Lots of tables and we got a table in 10 minutes even though the place was packed Saturday night. Good courteous crowd. They have a decent cocktail and wine menu. We had a lot of fun and our bartender was very attentive. The prices are really good for a fun night out.“
“Very nice evening. Our server was Mary. She was assisted by Jose Luis. As always, the service was excellent. The dinner also was excellent. I had the Double Cut Berkshire Pork Chop on a bed of vegetable minestrone. Unbelievable in taste and size of portion. My wife had the Butternut Squash Risotto with Shrimp and thoroughly enjoyed it. We're already looking forward to our next visit.“
“Owner operated water side place. They sell gas to the boaters and booze to the locals. Best spot for sunset selfies. Pretty sure you can still rent a skiff by the hour. Last stop for bait and tackel before you leave the continental shelf. Good hot dogs and fries. Funny, fries taste better when they are cooked outside.“
