“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“

“EXCELLENT FOOD & SERVICE!“

“Great restaurant ‼️💕🦋💕Beautifully decorated and the food was delicious ❤️“

“We go to the Bistro all the time. We recently had my husband’s retirement party there for 70 people- open bar, catered food, and hired DNA band. Chris, the manager, went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect. Chrissy the bartender is the BEST! The food is amazing! Their ‘Chicken pink’ is a favorite, and everyone raves about the food! It is a nice atmosphere- if you just want to sit at the bar and order off the bar menu, and watch the game on the huge tv, or sit and listen to the entertainment, or have a nice family dinner… I definitely recommend!“

“The chop shop is fancy and nice service.“

“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.“

“Great staff! Hannah makes a great margarita!“

“I became a regular diner to Riley’s a couple of years ago. Gotta tell ya, the food is as good as any high restaurant I eat at and I dine out a lot. Fun, delicious, quality menu that has never once disappointed on any item, ever. Yes it is mostly basic pub food but so are 50% of the restaurants on Long Island now and Fibbers is perfect and priced more than fair. Can’t remember the servers but the two ladies are always right there, refills on drinks, food on time and always with a smile regardless how busy they are. Come back soon guys! You are the best of EI“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service ! So glad I finally tried it . Took my family there for New Year’s Eve. It was perfect. Looking forward to going back.“

“Best experience I have had in a while . Superb food! Had the crispy wings , excellent crust. Easy access with a comforting natural light tavern feel . Really enjoyed the steak sandwich , cooked to perfection, and I’m craving the stuffed vodka chicken parm dish. Definitely going back for the burgers. Great find , so glad I went . Impressive chef!“

“The food was excellent, and the bus staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our waitress was not very warm or inviting, which affected the overall experience. After she brought us the bill, we waited around 10 minutes for our card to be processed while she was doing side work, and eventually another staff member had to run it for us. It just felt a little odd to be left waiting that long when we were ready to pay and leave. Overall, the food was great, but the service could have been more welcoming and attentive.“

“My new favorite restaurant! Everything is delicious and the staff is incredible.“

“Nice experience, very different and eclectic menu that changes every Wednesday. But do have some house staples.“

“Love this place!!! Decorated beyond for every holiday, great food and excellent service. My daughter’s compliments to the chef!!!! 🌹💞💌“

“The food is always fresh and deliciously prepared. Staff and owners are very friendly and accomodating for dietary restrictions (gluten free). Good bar too.“

“There are diners and there is Peter Pan in Bay Shore at a level of great heights. My wife and I patiently waited for its reopening and our expectations were above and beyond what we expected. The decor is modern and beautiful, yet it has that warm at-home feel. The Menu consists of a variation of eclectic items that greatly touches the culinary senses with delight. Owners Nick and Peter are often present to greet the customers like old friends and the staff are very friendly, professional and thorough. From breakfast to lunch and dinner we have always enjoyed. And to boot, there is wide variety of beverages to meet all tastes.
Thank you for being a part of of our lives, Peter Pan. Looking forward to partaking in your delicious meals for years to come!“

“A must go to you will not be disappointed!!!!“

“update below: Went for a Disney bingo which was so fun but we ordered a special on the board (both the same) and we both got sick. I wrote and email expressing my concern , which they responded quickly and tried connecting on the phone but they dropped the ball and did not respond to my follow up call nor my follow up email week has gone by. It’s nice in there I would’ve considered returning.

Tim, the manager called again and we had a nice conversation that I much appreciated. Offered gift card which was very kind. Sometimes things happen, if I business is willing to make it right and show humility it’s a good business. I’ve updated this review in high hope of returning and having a good experience and updating to 5 stars!“

“Been eating at Applebee's all over Long Island for over 20 years. Definitely feels nostalgic eating here again, but I never felt compelled to leave a review until now.

Food is always amazing, definitely hits the spot. Late night half-off-apps, but we wanted to try some of their new items.

At the top, their new Bacon Cheeseburger Wonton Tacos were fantastic! I hope they stay on the menu.

Always wanted to try the O-M-Cheese Burger, and apparently all their burgers are cooked on a flat top. I prefer that vs grill, and the sizzling cheese plate definitely is a nice touch. Delicious!

Boneless wings are always good, a nice dependable standard. Love the Garlic Parm.

My all-time favorite, the Chicken Quesadilla. Still tastes the same as I remember as a teen.

Definitely don't skip this location, was super clean, food was great, and service was stellar. Big shoutout to Alex who exhibited excellent customer service the entire time. Management seems really tight there, will definitely come back.“

“We really enjoyed our meal! Our meals came cooked to order, hot and delicious. The atmosphere was so cool. My son loved all the car theme decor. The service was great, the server was very knowledgeable about the menu choice and helpful. We can't wait to go back!“

“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!“

“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! ❤🎉✨“

“Very nice people and good food.“

“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!!“

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

“Great place for the kids and family. My son had an amazing birthday 🥳 we love this place.“

“Food was absolutely fantastic tonight. Actually never had a bad meal here. Worth the price. Service was great too.“

“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.“

“The food was soooo delicious. My husband I were cwlebrating our 6th Anniversary and had a WeekDay Luncheon Date. Totally Superb down to the very last drop. We ate every buttery morsel. We each had the Grilled Salmon, Lobster and Shrimp Trio with Mashed potatoes loaded with Lobster Sauce on top and a side of their broccolli which was insanely delicious!!! We will most definitly coming back. Staff was very attentive and friendly and very accomodating. Thank You for such a wonderful experience!“

“I recently hosted my daughter’s Bridal Shower Brunch at Bayberry. Everything about our experience was exceptional. The staff was helpful and accommodating, the menu options were extensive and delish and the chic atmosphere was the perfect setting for the vibe we wanted to achieve. I highly recommend Bayberry for your next event or night out ❣️“

“Great cozy little place with the greatest staff and good food. It’s a must try“

“excellent food, the service is awesome. Colleen was excellent. cocktails are awesome. they have unique specials.“

“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!“

“We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Lakehouse after traveling from New Jersey, and overall, we had a wonderful dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. My steak was fantastic, my husband’s pork chop was to die for, and the crab cake was exactly what I was craving! Everything we ordered was flavorful, and the service was wonderful.

One especially thoughtful touch was the complimentary champagne they brought us at the end of our dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Such a kind gesture that made the evening feel extra special and was truly appreciated!

Despite the small disappointment of the fire pit and outside area being closed, the delicious food, attentive service, and thoughtful hospitality made for a memorable anniversary dinner. Thank you, Lakehouse!“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Haven’t had a burger that good in quite a while…“
