A special thank you to our waiter, Roman, who was fantastic from start to finish. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night. He really helped make my wife’s birthday celebration memorable.

We were greeted by Will, who rocks, offering happy hour specials and cocktails in a pint glass. Burgers were great, and the nachos were superior. Definitely will be back!“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“The Snug and City Island Diner are true local treasures. They’re owned by the same wonderful people and share a kitchen, but each has its own vibe and hours — and together they’re unbeatable.

The fully loaded chili here is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, hearty, perfectly seasoned, and also shows up in their nachos, which makes them next-level comfort food.

One of my favorite things? They have a secret menu (no longer advertised) with specialty grilled cheese sandwiches and specialty hot dogs — and we absolutely love it. The Tuscan Melt (no onion) is perfection, and the Reuben Dog is unforgettable. With the hot dogs you get two, and you can mix and match styles, which is such a fun and generous touch.

At The Snug, my go-to drink is a black & tan, which pairs perfectly with the cozy, neighborhood pub feel. Over at the diner, my favorite dish is the Corned Beef Hash breakfast — classic, satisfying, and done exactly right.

Beyond the food, what really sets these places apart is the people. Every server is genuinely kind, welcoming, and deeply plugged into the City Island community. You feel like a regular even on your first visit.

Great food, great people, and real local character. City Island wouldn’t be the same without them. 💙🍽️🍺“

“We held a family fun night in their back room this weekend, about 30 people. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! Thank you Amy & Jenny for such great bartending & waitressing!! Food was delicious, TVs for those wanting to watch the games, private bathroom, space for little kids to roam around- would definitely book here again!“

“Friendly hangout with great bunch of guys and girls.“

“The owner of the bar Kathryn could not have been anymore welcoming. After a long day of work, I came here to just get a drink and leave. Kathryn escorted myself and my party to a seat after I had thought it was packed. She closed the doors to the bathroom to make it more comfortable (even though the bathrooms were very nice and clean!) and then moved us to a better seat when some opened. A regular at the bar who owned a restaurant cooked food for the bar and it was free to everybody as it was his brother's birthday. The food was delicious! The bartenders were absolutely great too, making sure the drinks had more than enough alchohol in them and they were cheap. Great spot to stumble upon, even better experience!!“

“Fun atmosphere. Cozy. Reasonably priced.“

“Casual atmosphere. Open air indoor seating with outdoor seating on the dock. Great place for a sunset. Staff friendly. Huge portions. Ordered an appetizer of mussels in a lobster bisque with large chunks of lobster on top. Approximately 2 dozen mussels and 1/2 lb of lobster. It could have been my main course course.“

“It’s a Lavish presence that each person needs to experience …“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“I’ve been coming to this bar since last year, and it’s always a great experience. The environment is welcoming, relaxed, and fun. The bartenders are very nice, polite, and make you feel right at home.

They also have karaoke nights on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which are always a blast. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a good time with great service.“

“First-time visit. Food was delicious and the bartender/server, Peter, was friendly and efficient. Observing other patrons, all seemed to be quite pleased. I’ll be back😊“

“The food is incredible!! And so are the drinks 👍Both my husband and myself were stuffed when we left. Jeff had the turkey burger and I had the lobster roll I asked if he wanted to split our meals but he liked his too much lol I had to eat most of the lobster off the top so I could eat it like a sandwich Took the picture after I ate a good portion off the top Mark and his crew are the best! Thank u again ❤️❤️“

“Great staff, located on the water and nice views of the marina. New indoor stage for live music. Large outdoor patio area. Fun place!!“

“Me and my wife went for the Super Bowl and the food was awesome the only thing that surpassed the food was the warmth and friendliness of the owners and staff as well as fellow patrons. I highly recommend this place for anyone who want to have a great night out.“

“My wife and I had brunch today. Our first time at Sol de Colombia of Queens. Our waitress , Lady was an excellent hostess and so was Daniela. They both gave us a very courteous and
comfortable feeling to enjoy our time there. Our food was prompt as describe and with recommendations of choices from Lady ,served perfectly and delicious (thanks to the chef!) We plan on visiting your restaurant again in the future.

“PJ's Bar on Union Turnpike in Fresh Meadows is a hidden gem. The modern vibe and warm, attentive service make it the perfect spot to unwind. The real highlight? Live music by Scott Borows—his performances bring an incredible energy that elevates the experience. Great drinks, great tunes, and a cozy atmosphere—what more could you want?“

“Thank you to the wonderful staff at Public House for hosting my husbands retirement party! They were all so accommodating and friendly; drinks were awesome and food was delish!! If you’ve in need of a space for a party, definitely reach out to them!“

“no such thing as a bad time in this joint“

“After being rudely treated at Your Mother’s House, my friends and I impulsively decided to stop by Angry Gnome to finish watching the Knicks game and celebrate our friend’s birthday, and I’m so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the bouncer and the owner, Harry, were kind, and accommodating.

I had brought a birthday cake with me and asked Harry if it would be okay to bring it out, and not only did he say yes, but he even helped me cut the cake and pass it around to everyone. That level of kindness and hospitality truly stood out and completely turned our night around.

The vibes here were amazing, everyone in the bar was friendly, and the atmosphere felt genuinely welcoming and fun. Thank you to Harry and the staff for making our friend’s birthday fun. We’ll definitely be back!“

“amazing clientele and staff“

“Not your typical neighborhood lounge. The food and service is known for excellence. It's the nightlife of entertainment: live bands, NY's Best Dj's, RnB, Reggae and Comedy Shows. I recommend everyone to put Pulse Zero Bar and Cocktail Lounge on their 'to do' list. Very Lovely Place!“

“Love BHT:)...and the best corned beef and cabbage ever...“

“Always a Delicious Meal and Cocktails! Friendly and Attentive service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
