Jewel by Tom SchaudelJust WOW!Wonderful food, excellent service and very creative decor. Love that our reservation was honored immediately and that the tables are not on top of one another.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious and BeautifulThe space was lovely...clean, open space. The quirky touches - upside down lamps contributed to its charm. Love, love, loved the buffalo mozzarella!6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMMuch nicer ambience as itMuch nicer ambience as it got dark. A little pricey. Good food. Good service5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMlast moment findIt is in a difficult to find location for those unfamiliar with the area. The physical structure of the restaurant is attractive, young and sophisticated. We were disappointed to be seated in the lounge area, but soon realized that the lounge area was more quiet and we could easily converse.
Our waiter offered the perfect balance of attention, service and assistance. The food was good to excellent. Our appetizers were just good [lobster bisque and the shrimp/veal meatballs] . Entrees were better. I chose the lobster risotto, which featured the meat of an entire lobster. My husband chose the pork chop, which he found to be very good. For dessert we shared the key lime parfait. and our waiter gave us complimentary glasses of muscat.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dining experience.Excellent dining experience. Great atmosphere. Will be going back.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food, Great RestaurantWe thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The service was excellent. The food was plentiful and delicious and there were items on the menu that we had never seen and/or never had prepared that way. The restaurant is absolutely lovely and we would not hesitate to return or to recommend it to others.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMeven brought the kidswhile def not a kids place they were nice enough to accomidate us for an early reservation and pretty nice. the boys loved the speical bathroom!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent as alwaysI've been to Jewel a few times now and as always the service and the food were excellent. Each visit I try something different. This time I opted for one of the specials which were scallops over a risotto. I can't tell you which was better - everything just melted as I ate it. For an appetizer I had the lobster mac & cheese which was absolutely amazing!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMScores highWe came for mother's day dinner, which was a fixed menu with many of the regular entrees on it. All courses from appetizers to dessert were very good and presented well. The space is huge and the decor is off beat and funky. The wine list is not as impressive as the see through wine cellar would inspire and the selections are dominated by local wines. The food is tasty, if somewhat trendy in the combinations and plating, but well worth the time and investment especially for a date or special occasion. The staff is friendly but at times not as polished as you might expect. But this takes nothing away from the experience. We would return.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful resturant. The foodBeautiful resturant. The food though very good is not quite the level of great.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMIn an office park? Yes, andIn an office park? Yes, and a beautiful, modern restaurant with excellent food to recommend for sure!5/7/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was restuarant week soIt was restuarant week so menu was Priced Fix. There were some unique choices that were not on the normal menu. Service was very good and food was excellent.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasant, attentive & expensive.Enjoy dining here always during LI Restaurant week. Usually the normal menu is too expensive for anything other than special occasions.
However, the place is so beautiful, food is excellent and service is attentive.
This year found that the price fix menu didn't offer enough standard choices without having to pay an up charge( supplemental) which this year was much higher than previous. Some of those charges were totally ridiculous. (16.00, 20.00 & 22.00) 0ver an already increased price fix. Even the skirt steak was increased to 10.00 extra over 5.00 previously.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and service was quiteFood and service was quite good.
Prices were also very attractive due to restaurtant week promotions.

Went hereExcellent food. Went here for Long Island Restaurant Week and was very pleasantly surprised. It's in an odd but convenient location. Lively, looks like a fun place to go with friends (was a bit noisy, but we were able to have a conversation at our table with no problem) and I enjoyed the vibrancy of it. Was pricey but all this was compensated for with the excellent meal. Would definitely go back.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were there during LI restaurantWe were there during LI restaurant week so the restaurant was very busy. The menu choices were very good.

Very professional but not overly obtrusive service, food was outstanding in taste and presentation
I would highly recommend for a power lunch, dinner or a nice dinner with a loved one or one you are trying to impress
The restaurant week portions were same size as usual and there was a nice selection of apps and entrees and the toms birthday cake for dessert really made the whole experience feel special. When the bread comes out warm, fresh and delicious, I know tht I am on for a nice dining experience4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of the best on L IThe food and service are always the best.

The wait staff was wonderful and most of the food was outstanding. What wasn't outstanding was just good, which still wasn't bad. The lump crab with mango was amazing. Great wine selection too.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent fresh bread to startExcellent fresh bread to start the meal. Loved the beet salad with beets prepared several ways. Duck was delicious. Rice a bit salty but otherwise an interesting blend of sweet and salty that worked.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday lunchMy daughter loved her birthday lunch. She felt very special. The service was great and when they heard it was her birthday they put a candle in her desert which made it even more special.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSecond visit; great food,Second visit; great food, server this time needed help, either they didn't have enough staff or she was ignoring us.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe dine out all time. ThisWe dine out all time. This restaurant is by far one of the best. From the bar to dining experience & staff. I thought the prices would have been much higher. The only issue is they were backed up with reservations. We had no problem with it, just had a great time.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I really enjoyedMy husband and I really enjoyed out meals. He had the duck and I had the lobster risotto. They were were both delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere had a great vibe.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMAnother great dining spotAnother great dining spot by Tom Schaudel. Food was delicious - appetizers Beet Salad and Almost Caesar were yummy, and we both sprung for the Lobster, each of which contained a full 1-1/4 lb. Only off note was our waitress, who didn't seem to have a service personality - everyone else was excellent, however. We sat upstairs, which meant we could converse easily. However, by 8:50 when we left, even the main area seemed to have only a moderate noise level. The place was jumping when we arrived, which made me happy, as I'm glad to see one of our fave LI chefs succeed again. Lots of parking, both self-park or valet. Whether you work anywhere near Route 110 or not, definitely go.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is in a very oddThis place is in a very odd place, it looks like an office building and was hard to find. Once you walk in it is very surprising and very attractive. The food was excellant, however my appetizer the octopus was very tough. I told the server, who told the chef. They took it off the bill and offered us a after dinner Moscato. I really appreciate that type of service. Other than that the food was very very good. I would recommend.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMI have dined at this restaurantI have dined at this restaurant for both lunch and dinner and both times the food was excellent and the service was good.
