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.

Lovely atmosphere, attention service, delicious food. Will definitely return and bring friends.

Delicious menu items...I usually eat all appetizers (small plates)....love the easy decor and friendly atmosphere.

Always our family's favorite go to spot in Rockville Centre. Never a disappointment. While there may be other spots to go to in the area, this happens to our "go to" restaurant. Their special beers are great and their martini's are wonderful.
Service was good. Felt a little rushed when we first got there. Once the server realized we were not on any time table, I think she slowed it down a little.

Consistently good. This our local “go to” restaurant. It never disappoints.

The food was great and Our server Kate was wonderful. We brought friends and they loved it as well.

Good gathering place friends good selection of entrees

This was my first visit and I would definitely return good food great service and appeared to have a fun bar scene. Although somewhat dated it was fairly clean. The men’s room was small and messy. Price was reasonable for the neighborhood.

I absolutely loved this place. The setting, the feel, and the food was amazing. The staff was great and attentive. Will definitely be coming here again!

The food was wonderful but the manager want great. When we asked for a spoon for our mussels his comment was something about being to busy worry about a spoon!
Ridiculous! We’ve been numerous times to aperitif and always enjoyed the food and the service but tonight not so much!

Been here a few times and always enjoyed dining here. The food is nicely prepared and always delicious. Wine list is well rounded and reasonable. Staff always looks to please. Never had an empty glass of water.

Highly recommend. Enjoy

After a friend recommended this restaurant, I am so glad I finally went. The service/food/staff was amazing. Our waitress was extremely friendly, helpful with the menu and very attentive. My friend and I were not rushed out of the restaurant at all even when it was getting late. Excellent all around and am looking forward to returning.

Place was quiet being mid week. Food and service was good

Great food with friends. Waiter made some excellent wine suggestions. Can’t wait to go back!

excellent for dates and great happy hour. this was my second time here and tried the escargo which was great.

Took my mom here on a Sunday around 1:30 . I thought we would get a lunch menu . Instead we were handed a brunch menu with limited choices. It’s ok , because I ordered the steak sliders and they were very delicious.

Caution when coming on a Sunday afternoon. Thats when they train there new waiters and even thou I understand everyone needs to learn . This was a train wreck from the start . Poor guy was so nervous , he made us uncomfortable. When I asked list of dressing me for the salad . I stood there clueless. Thank goodness it wasn’t busy , because the guy training had to take over .

Would still come back for dinner , because I love their duck .

This restaurant has fluctuated in overall standard over the years. It was good for a while and then awful. We took a break for a while and decidedly to try again after a few years. We were happily surprised at the improvements until we got a burger with a disgustingly long hair cooked into the patty. Never shall we return.

Their sirloin burger is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had.

it's always fantastic and never disappoints! and I feel like I'm in Paris! Just the best...

We had to wait about 50 minutes past our reservation to be seated. They were obviously overbooked. Food is good.

We were greeted and seated right away! The food was awesome, but we had to sit for almost 30 min this time, just to get appetizers ordered. Not sure if it was just that our waiter was overwhelmed, but that should not be. We had visited this restaurant on several occasions prior and this was the first time that we took our friends there...they loved the food...I'm sure we will be back.

Always a good meal! Took friends and they enjoyed it as well.

Enjoyed . Service could have been better. Would love to see round tables added.

The food at Aperitif Bistro is always wonderful, but we had a reservation at 8pm and did not get seated until 9pm ...the manager nor the hostess came over to apologize for the wait. It wasn't until I went over to the hostess to complain that the manager bothered too come over and apologize He then bought us a round of drinks which would have been the right thing to do while we were waiting for an hour. :(

Food and service were wonderful. But crowded and noisy
