Ara Greek Kitchen & Bar

Good was fresh and very good. But it's not the traditional Greek you have had before.

Fish prepared beautifully. Attentive and knowledgeable servicw

Good food and wine. Higher than average prices. Portions are small and good. Good quality.

If you’re looking for authentic Greek food, don’t bother. Was disappointed and was really looking forward to trying this place.

We really enjoy our visits to ARA so much, everyone is always friendly, the food is great and service is attentive. This time I ordered the Cornish hen, there was such a large portion I was able to take it home and enjoy it again. Wonderful!

The restaurant was expensive and they turned the lights on while we were still enjoying our drinks on a Saturday night. Wait staff was rude to do so.

Awesome service and great food. Truly a hidden gem on Long Island. Will definitely be back!

Would not return again

Just not a good night. Poor food poor service. Cold food wrong.

The food was delicious. It’s not pretentious at all and the wait staff was very friendly!

Food was very good, however the vegetables and sides served with our Fish entres were luke warm.

Otherwise I would have added another star.

Fairly pricey.

Always good. Good greek fare served by a pleasant wait staff in a comfortable, roomy environment.
We keep coming back.

Amazing!!! Food was incredible.

Great experience, food was fantastic. Service was good, def would go back and certainly would recommend

Weekday night, fresh fish, yummy salad and pleasant service, all for a great price!

Food was great.

The food was subpar compared to past experiences. The meat was a bit dry and lacking that flavor I’ve experienced before. Falafel entree was also a bit boring and dry. The apps were good. Basically if we did apps and dessert and espresso then all would have been great. Might come back and try again

This is one of our favorite restaurants !! The food is outstanding!! Great service too!!

Food was terrible gyro meat tasted like it was old fish was tasteless and lamb chops were mediocre and overpriced

Was disappointed in the food. Had the veggie pasta, had no taste. Friends I was with also was not happy with there meal. One of the most disappointing experiences I have had in a while.

Overall OK. And that’s the problem: very expensive food should rate better than OK. Food was good, yes. But the service was mediocre at best.
Felt rushed a bit as well.
Felt more like a diner than a restaurant whose prices were far too high.

My family and I love this place. The food is fantastic. The selection is large, there is something for everyone. The service is very friendly and attentive.

We have returned to your restaurant a few times and always satisfied. Food is consistent always great, and we enjoy having dinner in the bar area, it feels cozier than the dining room to us, even with the TV on with the sports. We enjoy the bartender Diego who is knowledgeable about the drinks and menu, will return again real soon, Have recommended this restaurant numerous times.

the service and food were both excellant, The appitizers were flavorful, and the maine courses were to do for. The servings were large, and the waiter was very helpful

Music was too loud, other than that we love it and continue to go back. Food is great, big place that can accomodate us quickly, prices are reasonable.

The food was delicious, service was excellent & the dining room was spacious & inviting. We didn’t feel rushed & had time to socialize with friends. We will definitely be back.

I discovered Ara by chance after a long shopping day. The food and ambiance reminded me so much of my recent trip to the Greek Isles and woke up my palette to the delicious flavors that I had there.

Great service and great music.

Food wasn’t that great. My salad was soggy and some pieces of lettuce were turning brown. Overpriced.

The food was excellent except for the calamari which was over cooked. It was perfect other times I’ve been there.

Will not last

We went here on Thursday 12/6 for my mothers birthday. We walked in around 6pm and they were still doing happy hour but only at bar and high top tables. My 88 year old grandmother was with us and as I was trying to get her to sit at the high top the manager said he could honor happy hour menu at a lower table for my grandmother which I appreciated. Our server Diego was amazing. Happy hour drinks and apps we delicious. Dessert was great too! The staff sang happy birthday to my mother and Diego brought out a dessert for her on the house which was so sweet. I will definitely be coming back here again!

Tried for the first time and was not disappointed. The Salmon I ordered was probably better than I’ve had anywhere. Great drinks too!!

Enjoyed dinner. Food very good, reasonably priced, great service. Highly recommend!!

Great service but I thought the food could have been better.

This was my second time eating here and it will not be my last! Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. Our server could not have been sweeter and the food runners were also so nice and helpful! Two had the lemon chicken soup, needed to get re-heated but was enjoyed. I shared the Couscous Salad which was fantastic! Two of us had the Branzino Fillet over vegetables.....yummy....one had the Shrimp Mushroom Risotto, and the other had the Gyro Platter.....huge portions and we all enjoyed it very much. Of course we had Baklava and Rice Pudding for dessert. Very good evening and we were not rushed at all!!

Great atmosphere with great food. Very well priced and the waiters are always anxious to please. On our regular rotation of restaurants.

Food was fresh and delicious. Wait service was great!

We enjoyed are meal. Excellent food and service. We were meeting to discuss books we had read. The table given us was perfect to have conversation that could be heard by all

Food was good, sat in the bar area and service was fast.

The food was authentic. The restaurant is very pretty inside. We decided to sit in the room without the bar, as it was too noisy by the bar area. The service was also very good.
