Aperitif Bistro - Rockville Centre

Loved the decor and the food and service was great. The only hiccup was the bartender, who was very slow. We went on a Tuesday at 6:00pm and the place was fairly empty. Can't imagine how she would do if it was a busy night.

Definitely has gone down in quality since years past. The duck was dry and I was served 2 drum sticks (no breast ). The tuna entree was delicious. We had an issue about whether my husband's McCallan 12 scotch was watered down. The bartender and manager denied it. My husband has been drinking the stuff for 20 years and can tell when it has been "altered". We will not return.

DELICIOUS! The service was remarkable as well! Cant wait to go back!

This restaurant is such a cute place. Truly looks like a restaurant you would find in France. I ordered the sliders and French fries for my meal. Both was out of this world. We sat outside which was adorable and had a lovely evening. I highly recommend!!

We were celebrating a birthday. All of us were impressed with the whole experience. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. We will definitely be going back.

My husband and I went for our 24th wedding Anniversary. It was a really great time. The restaurant has a really cozy atmosphere. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. The steak tartar was amazing. We enjoyed the whole meal. We sat outside which made the time even better. It wasn’t a busy evening and we weren’t rushed. The staff really rocked and our server Jade was great. We have to come back again and try something different. The chocolate moose was divine.

Cod was not fresh and was fishy. Place was empty on a Friday night.

Great place but is beginning to look worn. They did not have mu reservation.

We had a scrumptious dinner. There were four of us and we all ordered something different and everybody was happy -- a real rarity!

Food is delicious, especially hazelnut crusted halibut and spicy tuna pizza. Should update the wine list as the first two bottles we ordered were both out of stock.

Food was delicious and outdoor ambience was beautiful.

It is a wonderful local restaurant with lots of ways to enjoy a meal; at the bar, in a lovely outdoor seating area or in their several different dining rooms.

Great happy hour at the bar! Delicious dinner afterwards!

Our neighborhood favorite...never disappoints. Generous servings at reasonable prices.

By far the best restaurant in Rockville Centre! We eat here
fairly regularly and it never disappoints! Delicious food, excellent service and a great ambiance.
The drink menu has just been revamped with fun signature
cocktails. And a well kept secret...... is the outdoor patio!

A good neighborhood option among the many restaurants that are in RVC.

We celebrated my son's high school graduation at Aperitif Bistro. We had a reservation for a party of 9. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! Great atmosphere, exceptional, attentive service, and the food was absolutely fantastic! Thank you for making our celebration extra special.

Great ambiance, good food & drink, profession & attentive service, reasonably priced. Can't ask for more than that.

Excellent appetizers! Nice bar! Nice outside seating area!

I have been to Apertif and have enjoyed the happy hour and food for dinner on numerous occasions. We arrived at 7:30 for our reservation and were sat very quickly. We ordered drinks, 2 beers, glass of wine and ginger ale. Server brought the wrong beer after 15 minutes of waiting and ginger ale was flat. We asked her 2 other times for our drinks, she said it was coming, but continued to check on other tables. We receive iced the drinks at 8:05 after talking to manger, who said they were coming, but did not make us feel comfortable that our dinner experience would be better. We looked on open table and saw that The Original George Martin had availability, so we asked for our tab and went to George Martin for dinner.

The shrimp and scallops entree was absolutely delicious. Our waiter was awesome and full of energy. Definitely going back.

Food and service were excellent

Excellent food and service, as always! The wellington was amazing and the waiter made good suggestions for wine.

Sunday brunch was great, food was delicious and the servers were attentive .
Would definitely go back again in the future,

Lunch with my mother. The restaurant was empty except for us. I was surprised as they have a great lunch menu. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Definitely returning.

We had excellent service and each one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals! My 82-year old mother had the scallops and thought it was one of the best meals she had ever had! Perfect Mother's Day treat! It was especially nice that the ambiance was quiet, as we could all hear and be heard by each other, and enjoyed fun conversations along with our dinner. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Our family had wonderful time on mother's day. Service & food was excellent. Didn't feel rushed at all and the staff was very attentive.

Having been to Aperatif many times in the past, I was looking forward to a late Mother’s Day lunch there.
The noise level was that of a bar on a Saturday night, and the music(also very loud) was a bizarre choice of 70’s “soft rock”.
As always, the food was very very good.
Our server was strangely unfriendly, yet hovered. We asked for everything to be brought out together so we could share.
Appetizers came out in 3 separate shifts, despite frequently reminding them of our desire to have all served at the same time. Only one of us ordered an actual entree (the rest of us had multiple small plates to share, at least that was the idea). So my husband waited until the appetizers were finished before his meal arrived. Annoyed we asked to take things that were left to go.
And the AC was totally unnecessary, it being a cold drizzly day.
Disappointing.

Excellent service and outstanding French cuisine!

I eat here a few times a year and always have a great meal . Tonight not so much . Perhaps this review will tighten the staff abit . No one came to our table for drinks or to order our meal . We called over the manager and he bought us a drink . No salt and pepper on the table , had to ask for it , waiter to my right cleaning off the table pushed all garbage into the floor , I wasn’t asked if I wanted a second drink , only my husband was asked . No addition bread brought to the table . 2 out of the 3 rice balls were cold inside . Unimpressed with my 1 hour Saturday date night dinner . I’ll go back due my past good experiences . Hopefully Service will improve.

I always love coming here.

Enjoyed our get together here. Had a drink before heading to our table. Just a bit disappointed they had no Raspberry Vodka to make Parisian cocktail listed on their list.

One of our favorite places to go out to dinner ..... appetizers are very good ---- I only get the beef wellington and the lamb chops were tremendous. The staff are very attentive--- we'll be back soon.

Had reservations with another restaurant not too far. However, made reservation to Aperitif at the last moment. As always, were met with smiles, familiar faces, warm and inviting decor and ambiance. The food as always is superb. Appetizer dishes is what we usually order in order to get a taste of as many dishes as possible on the menu. Every dish is a work of art and provides a full spectrum that makes the palate very happy! Will absolutely come back again and again as this place never disappoints!

Always wonderful food and great service . Ambiance is great and an easy drive from home.

Friends we had not seen in many months cane out to LI from CT for dinner. We appreciated the quiet corner, and while it took a bit of time to get water and menus, once we ordered the food came promptly and was well prepared. It was Resturant Week and we were enjoying our dinner and desert when the Manager Daniel came over to inform us that our quiet corner was able to be occupied by a large group of women on a friend's night together. Daniel's Manor and appearance at our table felt more like we had overstayed our welcome and less like concern for our comfort. There was no line at the door and 20 minutes later a large group was seated. For a place with a French name it did not reflect French culture, where friends can sit all night at the table just drinking coffee.

Jay, the bartender is great, remembered the wine we had with our last dinner which was 4 weeks ago. Excellent dinner. Short ribs are great.

This was our third time at Aperitif and it is consistently good. The food was delicious as always and service was very good. Will definitely return for the fourth time!

Services was not the best, server was inattentive and unengaging. Food was good, presentation was bland.

everything was great, except the wine by the glass.
