“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. 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.“

“Catch Oyster Bar hits that sweet spot — cozy, unpretentious, and always buzzing with good energy. Their martinis are dangerously good, the fries are perfection, and the blackened tuna wrap? Fresh, bold, and downright addictive.

It’s the kind of spot that wins over everyone — from the preppy Williamsburg crowd to the shee-shee Hamptonites. Easygoing vibe, great food, and a bar that knows what it’s doing.

Highly recommended — one of those rare places that feels like both a local favorite and a weekend escape. GO!“

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!!!“

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!“

I had another round to just listen to the singer and the musicians. So much the laid back scene of the real Grateful dead. Acoustics needed a little balance but all in all made for an enjoyable night.“

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Famiglia, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the level of hospitality and professionalism from the entire staff was outstanding. The servers, managers, bus staff, and every team member we encountered were exceptionally attentive, courteous, friendly, and genuinely welcoming.
Their dedication to customer service created a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout the evening.

One of the first things that stood out was how immaculate the restaurant was. Every area was spotless, beautifully organized, and maintained with remarkable attention to detail. The ambiance is modern, elegant, and inviting, making it the perfect place for both family gatherings and special occasions.

The black-and-white photographs displayed throughout the restaurant added a truly special touch. They beautifully capture traditional Italian culture and family heritage, creating a nostalgic and heartfelt atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more meaningful and memorable.

The food, served family-style, was absolutely exceptional. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared. The presentation was elegant and thoughtfully done, showcasing both authenticity and creativity. You can immediately tell that quality ingredients and passion go into every plate served.

La Famiglia delivers far more than just an excellent meal — it offers a complete dining experience centered around hospitality, cleanliness, tradition, and outstanding Italian cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable atmosphere on Long Island.“

“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.“

“Found this hidden gem while running some lunchtime errands and wandered in to grab a quick bit. I didn't have high expectations but I have say it was a pleasant surprise. Sicilian and regular slice of pizza were both really good. This is some of the best pizza in the area and I have tried a few. Don't miss out on this place for some good 'za“

“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!!“

“We ate at this Japanese restaurant in Oakdale because we had tickets for the CM Performing Arts Center and it was nearby. It was a lovely restaurant with excellent service, and the food was fine. I ordered hibachi and knew that it wouldn't be cooked in front of me, but it was very different from the hibachi I've experienced at Benihana, for example. Two friends got Bento boxes and thought they were excellent.“

“Great local restaurant with a ton of options on the menu. The food was unanimously amazing, the service was pleasant, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. My wife and I split the Bandeja Paisa platter and it was so much food we had a full serving left over to bring home. My toddler’s cheese quesadilla was delicious. Looking forwards to eating here again soon!“

“Best pupusas I’ve had!! Stopped by while charging my car at the Tesla charger down the street. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Also had their beef soup (wonderful) and brought home their fried chicken and carne asada. Everything is flavorful and delicious and cooked perfectly. If I lived nearby I’d be here all the time!“

“We recently celebrated my daughter Sanaa’s Sweet 16 at Trio, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. The space was beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for such a special occasion.

A special thank you to Elsa, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. She was professional, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure every detail was just right. Her guidance and support helped make the planning stress-free, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event.

Our guests had a fantastic time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We are grateful for the outstanding service and would highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event. Thank you for helping create such beautiful memories for our family! ❤🎉✨“

“We came from out of town, were exhausted from an incredibly long drive, snd looking for some amazing pizza. We definitely found it. We called in our order when we were about 45 minutes from arriving, and it was ready about 10 mins after we got there. Perfection. It was exactly what we needed. The pizza has a great balance between crust, sauce, and toppings. The Crico's bread was amazing as well. This will definitely be our go to when we come back for our next vacation.“

“Had a great experience here last night. The food was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed some of the best baked clams I’ve ever had. The drinks looked very creative as well. The skirt steak was tender and marinated in a delicious marinade. The service was helpful but it wasn’t a rushed experience by any means. The patio is dog friendly as well. I will be back!“

“Had the pleasure of eating at the Greenport location. Two of my HS girlfriends and myself on moderately busy on Sunday (1012/24) at about 5:30. A young waiter named Brian was our server. We first ordered drinks, mine was the margarita with the pomegranate swirl. So delicious!! Refreshing and frosty! We shared the Mexican Street corn and the three dips with chips, which were freshly made. So fabulous! So tasty. The salsa, guacamole and queso were just perfect, each different but delicious!! The corn was sweet and flavorful. I had three tacos in hard shells. Fried chicken, fried shrimp and the marinated steak. Each one was different and very fresh. My one friend, is a vegetarian and the other is gluten intolerant BUT! They each found many yummy choices! I’ve been trying to get to this restaurant for several years, and finally the planets aligned! Brian was well trained, patient and informative with a good humor. The interior is bright, festive and clean. So much food, I could not finish all of it. And!! the restroom was clean! You should be very proud of this business! We will be back! Thank you!!“

“Excellent food no matter what we order love the steak tidbits ..tried the shrimp tacos too !!! Drinks are great as well !!! Our new go to by the water !“

“Staff was amazing. Very attentive. No complaints there! Food was just alright- not bad but nothing special. Short ribs were very boring and had little flavor. Chilean sea bass was decent. Lunch is usually pretty good but I think the dinner menu needs some work.“
