“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“

“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.“

“Riley’s East has quickly become one of our favorite spots in East Northport. The space looks great. It is clean, bright, and inviting, and it works just as well for a family dinner as it does for a night out with friends or a relaxed Sunday brunch.

The food was outstanding. Every dish had thoughtful flavor combinations and beautiful presentation, and the drinks were just as impressive. Their old fashioned is the best around, hands down. The staff were kind, warm, and welcoming from the moment we walked in.

Great food, great drinks, great people. We’ll be back often.“

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

“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“

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

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

“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“

“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 haven't been to Friday's in years and really only went to use a gift card. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The service was good and the music playing in the bar area was on point. All in all, a very good experience.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolutely spectacular dining experience!
We visited this restaurant and left completely blown away. From the very first course to the dessert, the food was of an exceptional standard. You can truly taste the high-quality, fresh ingredients, and the attention to detail in the presentation was impressive.“

“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!“

His energy and attentiveness makes me want to come back! I live in Huntington but would come back just for the service alone! Thank you Peter Pan for a great early dinner!“

“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!“

“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.

“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 ❣️“

“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 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!“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“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.“

“I'm always reluctant to go to this Applebee's because the service is usually so bad. But looks like a bunch a new servers were hired. Charlie came right over and asked for drinks, took our orders and everything went the way it's supposed to. Food was really good and the 2 for $25 deal was a good value.“

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

“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.“

“I absolutely love the attention to detail, the care and love of food that these chefs prepare. Love the surprise of not knowing what you get. They work with dietary restrictions.“

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

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

“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!“

“Came here to celebrate a shower

The host were super friendly and above and beyond accommodating for our party size

The service was top notch
Our server, Milton was super attentive and friendly

Food was delicious (but super over priced) $50 for a lobster roll?! & bread is not complementary ?!

All the desserts were amazing good

The ambiance was excellent
The water view was the cherry on top“

“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 .“
