“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“We ordered a variety of bagels from Bagel Express for four people visiting who had never tried true New York bagels before, and they were blown away! The bagels were perfectly chewy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with fresh flavor. Everyone loved them, and the spreads were delicious too. Bagel Express made a fantastic impression—we’ll definitely be back!“

“The chop shop is fancy and nice service.“

“Went with gf had great time from the pretzel croissant to the amazing flowerless cake everything was delicious. Has great view of port Jeff. Staff is friendly Deff going back. And offer seasonal menu“

“I just had another amazing lunch at Zest. The portions are VERY generous and the food is always amazing. The chef is a culinary artist.“

“I was greeted by the most pleasant, professional young lady named Ayanna. She immediately brought us to the table of our choice and then inform us that she would also be our server. She did not leave until she informed us of menu options that she thought we might be interested in and asked us if there was anything that we needed right away. When I told her to give us a little bit of time, she pleasantly agreed and did hesitate to frequently check on us to see if she could meet our needs. I ordered a cocktail for myself and a drink for my son, who accompanied me, and we placed our dinner order. Our food was served promptly and it was hot and delicious. Throughout dinner, she checked on us frequently to ensure we had everything that we needed. She also made pleasant conversation which I greatly appreciated as this was my first time at an Applebee’s location. She has gained you a customer for life. The food and the atmosphere was wonderful, but Ayanna definitely may be experience worthwhile.“

“A group of us regularly visit on Tuesday evenings and the staff—Connor, Mary, and Casey are wonderful. A great group with exceptional customer service. Great food with a great atmosphere and service make for a wonderful evening. I highly recommend the Brew House!!“

“Had the best private party experience! We booked my sister's 30th surprise party this past weekend and the staff was excellent and accommodating as well as the event coordinators we were in contact with prior to the event. I highly recommend booking a party here!“

“Pretty sure I just had one of the top 3 Reuben sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life, not even joking. It’s a Friday night and no shortage of customers here but still the service was fantastic, beer selection was great, my sandwich in particular was A++, and no one in my party had a bad word to say about theirs either. Definitely coming back for more!“

“I did a take out order at the East Islip location. The food was good but the super melts do not seem to have much meat on them like they use to. If the prices are going up with less portions that’s going to be a problem for Friendly’s. I would hate to see them go out of business because I love Friendlys too!!“

“Visited NoCo for the first time Sunday. A great dining experience. We go out for dinner quite often and this is one of the BEST! Very professional staff. Annise the manager is definitely an asset to this restaurant. We had the watermelon salad and the fig salad. We had prime pork chops for dinner. Gelato and pecan pie for dessert. Everything was ABSOLUTELY delicious. Will definitely revisit and probably become a regular!!!!!“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music. Great people.“

“The restaurant food and service was very good. However, no one likes to be served a martini in a champagne glass. It’s like drinking out of a bowl of soup. You should serve your martinis in the proper glasses.“

“Husk and Vine has been our go-to date night spot for years, so when it came time to plan my mother’s 70th birthday celebration, we knew exactly who to call—Chef Fran.
We wanted a Polynesian-themed menu, and if anyone could bring that vision to life, it was the Husk and Vine team. Chef Fran and his culinary staff are known for their creativity and fusion, and they absolutely delivered.

Chef took the time to listen to our ideas and dietary needs, crafting a menu that tied everything together beautifully. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was!

If you haven’t visited Husk and Vine yet, make sure you do. It’s truly a must-visit experience.“

“good burger. clean. friendly. nobody annoyed me. that's a miracle“

“great food. and good ambiance.“

“BEST WINGS (simplest way to put it) Discovered them out East and now they're in Islip. Anthony's wings will ruin everybody else's. Crispy without being greasy and sauces are A+++. Go there.“

“My husband and I tried Jackson Hall American Bar & Grille for the first time tonight. Place was very busy. Had a very nice vibe when walking in. Our server Danny was great! Very friendly. Checked on us several times. Had no problem making recommendations. Chef Michael came by several times as well. Was very friendly.We started out with Mussels in a lobster sauce with chunks of lobster. It was delicious! We then had the honey crab legs. They were so tasty. The crab was so meaty. There is no way you will leave this restaurant hungry. Portions are fantastic! We ended the night with cheesecake. It was the perfect ending to our meal. We will definitely be back to try more stuff on the menu!“

“The food served here was very good, i had the sizzling sirloin 10/10. Aside from that I had accidentally left my purse at the dinner table while taking a call and my party had left without knowledge that my purse was there. Before i could notice i was already an hour away. The manager at this location and his staff were very helpful with this issue. When i found proper arrangements to get my things they secured my items and made sure nothing was taken. Very appreciated thank you 🙏“

“Sunday afternoon and we stopped in for a bite. Our server Charlie was very busy but did an awesome job. The food was really good. My dish pasta arrived hot and perfectly cooked. My wife's steak was tender and well seasoned. Very good experience“

“Went to the Northport location this morning. I had the Tex-Mex Benny Bowl. Loved it! Something different, our server Karen was outstanding. Attentive, without being annoying. Even had my favorite hot sauce, highly recommend.“

“We had an engagement party here recently. Other than a few hiccups that happened, like the passed hors d'oeuvre ended at an hour when we were told it would go on until people stopped taking them, everth8ng else was well done. Food was good and the room was perfect for the 110 people we had there. Overall a nice place to have a function.“

“the fish bowls are such a good drinking investment lol !!“

“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!“

“I go here all the time with my friends we enjoy the place the workers are nice and positive and very fun to talk to and very out going. Michelle is the best one the food here is also amazing I love their waffle fries and the boneless wings.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Ford’s Garage thanks to our waiter, Matteo. He was extremely thorough in explaining what menu items were gluten-free and took great care to ensure there was no cross-contamination. I really appreciated his attention to detail and how knowledgeable he was about the menu. Matteo checked in with us just the right amount—often enough to make sure we had everything we needed, but never intrusive. He was friendly, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. Excellent service all around!“

“Our meal at Chatter's was great! The service was top-notch, thanks to Amanda. The food was served quickly and the presentation was great. Amanda really impressed us with her customer service skills! Chatter's is lucky to have such a dedicated staff member.“

“Enjoy every time we go delicious“

“Hight quality food and good atmosphere, I enjoyed my meal then happened to see the owner Opie. He gave me an 800$ Bottle of Champagne, I couldn't frickin believe it! I've heard of others getting a meal in the House just for saying an unknown phrase. Crazy.“

“Vincent and his team are top notch. Could not have asked for a better experience! The food was incredible and my guests were excited and super pleased. The interactions from Vincent and his staff made the party rock. Highly recommend for your next gathering, you won't be disappointed.“

“Great food great staff indoor outdoor dining“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“We've had great experiences at Nu. It's a quiet spot, usually, and the food is really great. We always get filet mignon or their pork chop, which is fabulous. Their wine list is great, and the service is always top notch. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to service. I like to have great service but also be left alone, which is exactly what they do. The servers have always been attentive and professional. They know what to recommend and can advise you on the menu. I have to repeat. Their food is GREAT! although I do always order the filet mignon. It's the best .“

“I had an issue on uber eats where my food wasn’t made correctly from a separate location. I called and honestly wasn’t the kindest at first because I thought I wasted my money. Both the worker at the front and Kevin the owner were so so kind despite it and helped this issue and made me a new order for half off. They were extremely kind and caring and I apologized over and over for my mistake as I also didn’t realize it was a separate location. They were so kind and so helpful I really appreciate their help as well as how this was handled.“

“My daughter, granddaughter and I went there for an early dinner. Our server Joanne and the food made our experience really nice. Thank you very much.“

“Last Wednesday I was at Davis vision works and we walk to the restaurant for lunch whem we get the we were standing up for almost 15 minutes waiting for someone to give us a table. finally whem someone come to us and without asking if we need a table rigth away he say is was 15 mint wait, me while the restaurant wasn't even packed it was a lot of table empty and even like that he was going to make us to wait more. really bad service and rude attention. we have money to pay it wasn't like we were asking for a free table. people are really racist at this place. I don't recommend“

“Went to Bliss for the first time last night for my girlfriend and I’s 3-year anniversary and we will definitely be going back! Megan was a great server, attentive & very outgoing, and Robin who greeted us at the front was very welcoming & helped with the menu. She even offered us a drink for our anniversary. Thank you for a great experience!“

My husband had the rubs which were so tender snd delicious. The wings were cooked perfectly and sooooo delicious. I will definitely be back - drinks were good too!“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“
