Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Midwood

We were a party of 6 looking for a regular spot near the LIRR. The service and ambiance was amazing. The waiters were great. The wine selection was good and the prices were right. The tomato brusetta was delicious. The rigatoni with short rib ragu was delicious. The pizza was surprisingly fake. I thought the pizza would be artisan and made fresh. The crust was frozen I believe. They put sauce , some mozzarella and 6 slivers of basil. The calamari was overcooked and not fresh. We will go back again but the owners should work on the pizza. That pizza you can get at 711.

Phenomenal omakase. Kevin is incredible and extremely talented.

We went for the tuna carving. We sat on the patio and it was very comfortable even though it was March. The carving was cool, and the tuna flowed- it was lots of different variations are really showcased the tuna. Would recommend!

We made a reservation 2 weeks in advance for Valentine’s Day. We arrived on time and there were still many open tables. The hostess (Josephine) leads us to a table directly next to the door. When I requested a table in the back (at least 3 open tables) she said in an extremely rude manner that she would not give me a table in the back and would only offer me the table next to the door. She further angrily stated that she has 64 reservations for that night. That’s fine but if there are many open tables when a patron arrives they should be given the opportunity to have a table that is not next to the door where the cold air hit us every time the door opened. The reservation is for a certain time NOT for a specific table so why was I denied the table I requested when there were so many open tables. The waitress was great, the food was delicious and a good value for the price. Josephine needs to learn how to politely deal with patrons if she is to stay in the hospitality industry.

Always a great experience at Olivier! Great food, fantastic coffee and drinks and the staff is so responsive and helpful and kind.
