The bone in Ribeye was excellent, I hope they incorporate it into their menu year round! The tuna carpaccio was unique. the wings were excellent as always, and of course, the braised short rib pasta was delicious.

First of all I want to say that our server, Mariah was on her game! She was warm and personable, spot on in her serving duties. The chef gets our 5 star rating, every dish was beyond spectacular. I have to admit I am a very finicky diner , it takes a lot to please me and I was thoroughly enjoying every bite! I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. I know I will be back! Thank you Mariah and thank you chef for a tasteful evening.

By far the best meal I've had Long Island in a very long time. Every single dish was cooked perfection the presentation was beautiful. We had the tuna, tartare, scallops, pasta dish, a white fish that was a special I believe, and the cocktails were perfectly prepared. Don't walk - run!!

I had made reservation a week before for my sister's birthday on the recommendation of my brother who has been here before. Fast forward to the day of the birthday dinner ... I got there early and was greeted with best hostess and service and everyone was so nice. When everyone arrived we ordered some appetizers and 3 entrees all to share. All the food was delicious and the mocktails & cocktails were great. We will definitely be back for the Spring tasting menu.

The moment I entered I was greeted by my name and with a friendly smile by the host. As I walked in further mixologist Tom knew my cocktail and yet again made me an exquisite ‘sour’ with a fantastic egg white foam to boast. He went even further and made a special cocktail for my friend who told him her taste preference and immediately he conjured up a delectable tasting cocktail. I could go on but as I write I think I need one of that cocktail. 😆😀
