“Came to N.Y. for visit, from Texas & Georgia, but originally from here. My brother & I were staying across the street at the Raddison hotel. We walked in, were greeted immediately, with a pleasant hello! Seated right away! Our server, Valerie, greeted us with her sweet personality. She was very kind and courteous, and had great customer service! I have a nut allergy, I brought to her attention. She made sure to thoroughly check with the cook, to be sure the new menu item, I was ordering, did not contain any nuts! I ordered the Bayou Shrimp bowl, which was delicious I might add, with this amazing side sauce for the shrimp, that I couldn’t get enough of! Valerie immediately let me know that it was safe to consume which I greatly appreciated. My brother had the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli, which was also delicious! The manager, Carol, also stopped by our table, to be sure all was going well, very pleasant. I was in the service industry, waitressing/bartending, for many years, so when I go into an establishment, and I get excellent customer service and delicious food, I love to brag about it! I’m quite critical how I’m being served, and Valerie, Did Not disappoint! She was exceptional. She deserves more than 5 stars. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I highly recommend this location, and ask for Valerie… you will be happy you did!!! If I come back in town, to this area again, I’ll be sure to stop by!!! Thank you Valerie, for taking excellent care of us!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Trio Restaurant at the Holbrook Country Club is an outstanding venue. It’s primarily an event hall rather than a typical sit-down restaurant, and they really do a fantastic job hosting gatherings and celebrations.
Everyone is treated like royalty from the moment they walk in. The service is excellent, the food is great, and the hospitality is even better. The staff is friendly, helpful, and makes sure everything runs smoothly.
The place is very clean and well maintained, with easy access and plenty of parking available, which makes attending events there very convenient. The atmosphere is welcoming and perfect for special occasions.
They also host private events, so if you’re planning a party, celebration, or gathering, this is definitely a place worth contacting.
I highly recommend Trio Restaurant at the Holbrook Country Club.“

“I am Bri ! I really enjoyed my time here . Especially because of the person that was attending me . Mal had such a good vibe which made the time there 10x better . She’s definitely someone to brightens someone’s day ! So if you go here ask MAL to be your server :) !!“

“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“

“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“

“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'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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“….….Best place on earth………“

“Stopped at the Applebee's in Farmingville on May 5th, 2026 for a late lunch while in town for work. I work in the aerospace industry and as such, frequently travel the country and have ate at Applebee's on both coasts. What made the stop here memorable was the excellent service and genuine amiable nature of the server, Larisa. She was quick and responsive for all requests and a wealth of information regarding the locale and multiple other subjects. She represents what would be considered the epitome of service for that industry.“

“this place is a gem. the food is fresh and tasty. the people are friendly. variety of food...burgers, tacos, halal (tasty chicken over basmati rice with lettuce and toppings) ....too much to list.... we've ordered from here twice and will be going back often!! I want to try a vanilla milkshake soon. very easy to get to. no traffic to fight either. GO HERE!!! *****“

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

“Came here with my grandma for mothers day and the food and service was amazing as always. Junior was our server and made sure everything we needed was taken care of. Coming in the middle of the day was nice since it wasn’t too busy will definitely be back again.“

“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.“

“Beautiful, fun spot with great food and cocktails!“

“Exelente comida y Exelente servicio“

“Oh my goodness, my family went to Billie’s for Easter Dinner last night! The food was out of this world. Everything we got was spot on from the appetizers to the dessert! The service was amazing, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg to enjoy a night out. I’m looking forward to going back when the weather is a bit warmer and eating on their back deck. I consider myself a bit of a foodie and this place was top-notch! Definitely give it a try. Oh, and it wasn’t packed like every other establishment town Port!“

“Chef Chelsea creates beautiful, delicious plates using only the best ingredients. If you miss Pentimento Restaurant you will Love Level Up Kitchen! Get ready for a culinary treat!“

“The Food is so so good. Always hot and fresh. I havt tried anything on the menu I didnt love. But the customer service is what makes them set the bar so high for others. Im hurt and cant walk. The grubhub guy forgot my kids food and one of the employees drove it to my house bc she felt so bad. They are the best!“

“Came here late for my moms birthday. Despite it being 9 PM the service and food was immaculate. Our server Alex was so attentive and made sure everything came out swiftly, correct, and gave great menu suggestions. Everyone was beyond satisfied with the food, and Alex even gave my mom a birthday sparkler Sunday!! My family and I had an amazing experience here with the fantastic food and service. We definitely look forward to dining here with Alex again soon!!“

“We had a great experience hosting a party at Legends. Everyone from the children to my 92 year old grandma loved it. The staff was a pleasure to work with and it was so easy to put the party together. The apps and the dinner food was delicious and the staff was so kind and helpful. I definitely will be recommending it to friends!“

“Large portions and great food“

“Recently celebrated our daughter’s 1st Birthday here. After researching many venues in the area we landed with the Grille. Jenn (the event coordinator) was extremely friendly, professional and informative from the moment I called her to inquire about the space. The venue is a dual space. You have the catering room as well as the bar area where there are pool tables and a dart board. Perfect for our guests in their 20s. The food and staff were amazing. I cannot rave enough about Amy, Jenn, Steve, Ernesto and Sabrina. They were all so helpful and accommodating during our event. Jenn was extremely attentive and made sure we had all our desires fulfilled, up until the morning of the party. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this establishment. Book them! You won’t regret it!“
