“The service was friendly, fast and efficient. We shared 2 types of oysters that were extremely fresh and very tasty. I opted for the soft shell crab sandwich and without a doubt the BEST I've ever had. This restaurant is a little far off from where I live BUT I, without a doubt, will be visiting again. My group and I were not disappointed!!!“

“Bliss is a friendly and professional restaurant to go anytime . The service is impeccable and cater to your every needs! They don't rush or pressure you into a quick service or push you out the door! The food is amazing no matter what you order and generous portions!

The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“First time there tonight for a birthday dinner. WOW is an understatement. Sat outside with a beautiful sunset view. We had the short rib special, the sea bass and the swordfish entrees and they were delicious! The mussels in white sauce to start and the (clearly) homemade peanut butter and chocolate & carrot cake desserts were phenomenal. Our waitress Jaimie was the BEST-so sweet and welcoming-all of her recommendations from cocktails to entrees to dessert were spot on. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Catfish Annie's delivers exceptional quality with every dish, offering a spotless environment and unmatched prices. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable.

“Very good [Original] Muy bueno“

“Last night we (2 couples) went to Ruth Chris Steak House in Lake Grove, NY for dinner and had the best dinning experience we have had in awhile. It is now our favorite steak restaurant. The food is outstanding, compliments to the chief!! Also, I would like to comment on our waitress, Kim, who is terrific!!! She was so attentive to all our requests, took care of us all night. Also, the manager is a real gentleman, and he also made us feel comfortable and special. Without a doubt, this is the best steak restaurant on the Island, we have been to most of the upscale restaurants here and we rate this the best. If you want terrific food, great service, and a delightful ambiance, try this restaurant, you won't be disappointed!!!“

“Picked up Three pies two hero’s the price is great. we ordered three different types deep dish. Thin. Crust and regular pie with meatballs five stars the meat balls really made the pie.“

“Had the pleasure of choosing Tara Inn for lunch today, every establishment can learn a lesson from the customer service that my friend and I experienced. Upon walking in we were greeted by Peter, Tara’s husband and son-in-law of the founder who named the bar for his daughter 47 years ago. We told him it was our first visit and he offered us seats and welcomed us. The regulars at the bar guided us through the menu and we each had a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles for $1 per burger expecting very small burgers we were surprised to find them standard sized and deliciously prepared to medium. My friend had the fried shrimp and I had a $13 steamed lobster! Excellent! They offer daily specials and one of the gentleman at the bar told me their steaks are very good. Every staff person went out of their way to make us feel at home. A charismatic women came out from the back and introduced herself as Tara she thanked us for choosing to lunch there. Why can’t other places realize the importance of making a first time patron feel welcome. I
Had a great afternoon enjoying the excellent variety of beers that they provide on tap. The charming decor has probably changed little since the ‘70s and that adds to the vibe. If you want to go to the friendliest bar on Long Island, head over to Tara Inn.“

“What a great spot!!! The vibe here is amazing and the service is fantastic! Taylor went above and beyond and provided service that is hard to come by these days! The food was fantastic and they had live music which was awesome! The owner was so nice and I would highly recommend checking out Buoy 35!“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Just had the all you can eat for the first time and it was incredible. The service was equally amazing and the $1 drinks were surprisingly strong. 5 stars from us.“

“The atmosphere was great, food was amazing. But the icing on the cake was the staff we had Torrie as our professional service person and her support staff were unbelievable she was on point with everything my wife and I want and had great suggestions on we may like she hit it out of the park. Thank you.“

“Went to Grumpy Jack's to celebrate my granddaughter's H.S. graduation. We were a table of 22, seated upstairs. Our waitress, Joelle, was amazing. She was working the entire restaurant. The downstairs and our group upstairs. She was very pleasant, professional, and did a great job handling everything herself. The food was so good. There are so many food options on the menu, it caters to everyone's tastes. Definitely recommend going there and we will definitely go back. Looking forward to it!!“

“Servicio excelente, delicioso sabor de la comida“

“My husband and I have been eating here pretty much once a week for almost 20 years. We usually get take out and create our own in home date night. By far the freshest and most delicious sushi we’ve ever had. Period. They keep the menu very clean, as opposed to other places we’ve tried where everything is caked in sauce and all just taste the same. You will not be disappointed.
Favorites: Alan roll, Peter roll (as for extra sauce on the side), Cooper roll (not on the menu but was on their old menu. You can still ask for it) and the deep impact.“

“Went on the recommendation of friends and was blown away. Super friendly owner/staff in a very cozy environment with super delicious food. Will definitely be back. Cannot wait.“

“Very good food.. great service.. will be back..😉“

“?Emilio is the BEST! He provides such amazing service with a sweet smile on his face!
He is such a nice man!
Their sauce is delicious. They make amazing specialties slices and don't over charge you -like similar pizza places in the area do. I appreciate that very much. I love to get their Vegetable Sicilian slice. It is awesome! Thank you ?!! Kar“

“I love this place! Enjoy it!“

“The food was definitely delicious. This is not carribean food however I did enjoy my food and drinks. The service was great and the staff was very attentive. Glad my husband decided to switch up from routine. Will definitely come back again.“

“My friends and I really enjoyed our delicious meals at this gem of a restaurant. Service was excellent. The Korean fried cauliflower appetizer is wonderful! The filet mignon was top-notch. The bowties with seafood special was outrageous! Desserts were absolutely fantastic. We will be back!“

“Small little pupuseria, the pupusas are delicious, great sauce and Cole slaw, they come hot, they are perfectly cooked, and their eggs and egg sandwiches are great as well. The food is clean, delicious, and the pupusas are quite authentic. whenever I have gone there, most of the customers are Spanish speaking and that gives me confidence in their authenticity. The people that work the counter are very friendly, accommodating, and they speak Spanish and English perfectly. The have ready made food and counter service but the kitchen food is cooked upon order. perfect place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.“

“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!“

“This place is home to whoever comes here. The food is home to whoever tastes it. This place is whole heartedly the best place on the island. Everything in one. This place makes the spirit and the soul happy.

Kid-friendliness: Family.“

“Overall the food was excellent. However it felt like the octopus was not freshly prepared which hurt the dish. Service was very good. Ambiance is upscale. i love the Bar area. Noise level is loud and could be enhanced by incorporating some adjustments to the decor.“

“Excellent food! We will be regulars.“

“Our go-to place when we want the BEST FOOD at a reasonable price!!! Can't wait for the newest renovation to be completed. Opening back up on January 9th 😍🤩🙌🥩🍗“

“The staff is amazing and incredible ❤️😍 . The bathrooms as we all know is important it tells you about them . OMG 🤯 super clean WOW... Amazing and incredible came to mind. Staff is bilingual they speak Spanish and English very well I say. I let them think I was English . It was a amazing and incredible time .“

“What an amazing place this is!!The exterior of the building does not compare to how nice this place is inside!With a pool table inside to have fun while you wait… ! I like it????The pupusas delicious, very good ratio of food with the flour tortilla. Really good I recommend the Loroco with cheese. I just went to pick up, but was very impressed. Congratulations to the owners“

“The Food here is great! The egg rolls are perfect and not greasy. The Fried rice you can modify to eliminate things you don't want in it like corn & Peas, YAY! and this is the first restaurant where the wonton soup is not too salty, its great and you get a ton of wontons! Love tis Chinese Restaurant!“

“Awesome place, clean and customer friendly. The supermarket/restaurant has a variety of fresh fish which you can ask the staff to have them cook it for you. In my case, i asked them to cook the Dora fish which was very tasty. You can aslo ask for side dishes to go with it, i had fried plantains. The restaurant portion also had a variety of Latin dishes (Colombian, Peruvian etc) which are also fresh and so tasty. I had the black rice mixed with seafood (shrimp, calamari and pieces of fried fish)“

“My son took me here and I loved everything about the place. The people are friendly and helpful , the place is spotless and the prices are very reasonable. I order take out often , the chicken and steak are my favorite . I especially Love their green sauce. I like the fact that I’m getting quality food and there’s something for everyone. Definitely a hidden gem !!!!“
