   We were seated immediately upon arrival waiters were very polite and friendly. Food was very good and so was the desserts. The music was a little loud but overall experience was excellent.

   Very nice place but think it’s overpriced like most LI restaurants. There must have been a new bartender that certainly needed some training on how to make expresso martinis, dirty martinis and their coffee specialty drinks. All were completely wrong. Hopefully she will learn quick to avoid having drinks sent back. The girl who brought our food out didn’t care much of who ordered what, and just placed our dinners wherever. New waiter and he was great! Having worked in a restaurant for years, think it’s so important for employees to be able to try all that is being offered so they can sell and speak professionally about.

   Checking in and seating were a breeze. The hostess was friendly. We got the seats we requested, near the dancefloor (we were there to see the band & we have been there before). The waiter, a young man, was not really on top of his server game. I don't know if he was new, but I hope so. He was polite, but not overly personable, kinda quiet. He didn't ever come back to check to see if we needed another drink, or to check on our food once it was delivered (by another person, not himself, which is probably how they do things there and that's fine, but the server should follow up shortly after delivery). He was aware of the popularity of the drinks we were contemplating and gave appropriate feedback and when one of the appetizers was not to our expectation, he took it back, no question, and it was removed from the bill. (Don't get the steak tidbits! They were extremely tough and tasted gamey). We opted to have 'appetizers for dinner' and had them brought out staggered, which our waiter did in timely fashion and asked what order we preferred. When it came time for our cappucinos (decaf), he brought them without sugar or spoons.. lol .. we had to ask for both, which were brought separately, minutes apart.. (not the end of the world).. but instead of spoons for the cappucinos (we ordered no dessert), we got seafood forks! LOL It was comical. Thankfully, the busser was on top of it and brought us what we needed, incl the sugar. I really do hope it was only bc the waiter was new and not just awful. :) I took that idea into consideration during the whole evening & was patient. Drinks: Coconut martini and the Chianti Peach Prosecco. Both were good. Appetizers: The Wonderful roll: Lobster salad, avo, mango and wrapped in seared filet mignon. Was very tasty! Steak tidbits served with crostini... NFG. (details mentioned earlier). Caesar salad: Was ok, dressing was on the slightly sweet side. Chicken Pesto flatbread: very good.

   Having just moved into this area, I have been searching for that one restaurant that you know you can always go to and have the perfect dining experience...well, I HAVE FOUND THAT PERFECT RESTAURANT...RISTEGIO'S!!! Whether you want to just run in there for a quick bite, or you want to bring friends and party all night with the fantastic live music they always have, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!! Today, I just ran in for lunch with a friend, and as ALWAYS THE WAIT STAFF WAS FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL, PATIENT, AND ACCOMMODATING!!! THEY ARE THE MOST HARDWORKING STAFF I'VE MET IN YEARS!!! Then, THERE IS THE FOOD...OMG!!!! My personal favorite is their pork chop. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PORK CHOP AS THICK, MOIST, AND TASTY AS THEIR PORK CHOP!!!! THEIR STEAK TIDBIT APP IS SOOO TENDER, YOU CAN CUT IT WITH A FORK!!!! Of course, I haven't mentioned THE DRINKS!!!!! WELL...DAMN!!!! THE BEST, MOST DELICIOUSLY BLENDED DRINKS I'VE HAD IN A VERY LONG TIME!!!! RISTEGIO'S IS THE PLACE TO BE!!! I RECOMMEND IT 100%!!!

   Ist timer and I'm impressed ! Stylish and classy space with plenty of room, high ceilings, colorful artwork and an inviting central bar. Dined with 3 others. Attentive service. I had the meatballs for an app which were excellent. The salmon sushi entree was equally great. Manager, George, was so friendly. Looking forward to returning.

   George, the manager, and his team are very friendly, accommodating, and on top of their game. We took friends out for a birthday luncheon and we were treated like VIP guests. The appetizers and entrees are delicious and the portions are hearty. Highly recommend this outstanding restaurant!

   The valentines day set menu they had was over priced they served smaller portions then usual and the band was horrible. Apart from the fact that we had to wait a whole hour for our food we had to listen to someone butchering some of the greatest songs of all time

    I proposed my girlfriend for the valentines date and it was absolutely awesome, the treatment, the care on the details, the girls and guys on charge were outstanding and did an excellent service. The food presentation was delicate and delicious on the taste, incredible choice on the menu for the night. And for the occasion the band and music was 10/10, I wish I could have stayed longer to see them. Special thanks to everyone involved in the date night ❤️
