The bar waa lively and a great place to stay after dinner for some drinks. The specialty cocktail menu was worth the money. The food selection was extensive and maybe a bit overwhelming. The service was good. Dessert was the only disappointment as two of the choices were not very tasty. Overall a great place to dine.

The owner tried to explain that the marinade can sometimes cause the meat to dry out, which was a new concept to me. I would not recommend getting steak at this steak house in the future.

Serving canned beets and charging as if they were fresh isn’t acceptable.

When I arrived, they claimed I didn't have a reservation, despite me showing my confirmation on OpenTable. They said they were no longer affiliated with the service, which forced me to rebook for a different time. Once there, we were seated in a very dim back room, even though there were many open tables in the front. When I asked the hostess why, she replied that she was told to alternate seating between the front and back rooms, and when I inquired about waiting for a front room table, her response was quite rude, stating that no one had ever asked her that before. Eventually, they moved us to the front, but we were placed directly in front of the door at what felt like the worst table in the house, despite several other open options. The food was decent, and the drinks were acceptable, but overpriced for this part of Long Island. We faced an extremely long wait between appetizers and main courses, and no one checked on us for bread or water. The system seemed disorganized, as we encountered three separate mistakes with our orders: sweet potato mash instead of regular, raw clams instead of clams casino, and regular wings instead of duck wings. To top it off, my wife’s vegetables were forgotten and only arrived after we prompted the waiter at the end of the meal. You would think they might offer a glass of wine, take something off the bill, or at least apologize for the mishaps, but none of that happened. Overall, it was a frustrating dining experience.

The waitress was very friendly, and the drinks were tasty. I would definitely come back. The only drawback was that the dining room was quite loud, even though it wasn't busy.

When I arrived, my reservation wasn't listed, despite having made it while they were still part of OpenTable. It appears they have discontinued the service.
