Do not be fooled by the quiet exterior - once inside, it's clear everybody is here. Lots of small wood tables to enjoy breakfast or lunch or a snack. They have delicious bagels and do have the Bagel snob required Everything Flagel. That was easy. Sliced with a 1/4 of whitefish to go. Whats nice is this is busy enough to guarantee the white fish is fresh. Not all locations can sell enough to not make you worry- not the case here. People were picking up sushi to go.. smoothies, and the standard salads, bagels, coffee and tea. Would be my go to if/ when here more often.

We started with some calamari. It had great flavor and it was not overly breaded or fried, but it was one thing, very tender. My cousin, he had the pork chop special. It looked really good. It looked like it had sausage, potatoes, onions and hot cherry peppers. He said it was very good! Now I had a difficult time deciding, I was torn between the shepherds pie, the chicken pot pie and the jumbalia. I went for the shepherds pie, a really good choice. I was too full to have desert. Next time. Along with good food was very good service. I can't wait to eat their again.

Strange...just strange…read more My friend and I were waiting for the Jetty to open for brunch so we thought we would grab a drink somewhere else while we wait. We were even considering other spots for brunch since we weren't married to any particular option. Unfortunately, our experience made us not want to stick around and we ventured on. As we were walking by and peering in to check out the scene, a man standing outside the restaurant with his bike said something like "Go ahead, they're open". It didn't look like he was affiliated with the restaurant but later on it seemed like he knew the DJ. Yes there was a DJ set up by the bar, but they were playing jazz music. Now I love jazz but to me this was a tiny bit odd. I'm use to seeing live jazz on premise. But that was the least of our worries. We then went to order brunch cocktails and they have a great selection. To switch it up a bit and because it was on the menu, we ordered two Bellinis. It felt like it too over a half hour for our drinks. A Bellini is champagne and peach juice/purée. The champagne was poured but it took forever for them to get to finishing our very simple drink. The purée was in the fridge under the bar. Again no they much of a stretch, but it seemed like a tall order. The bar seemed to be run by two people, both a man and a woman. The place itself wasn't crowded but he seemed like the two of them as well as the other staff seemed overwhelmed. We finally got our Bellinis and after waiting an exorbitant amount of time to get these two simple drinks, we were pitched on staying for brunch. This might have been considered if we didn't see the kitchen staff berate the front of the house right in front of customers. It really left a bad taste in our mouth. The Bellini was fine...and as soon as we finished it we dropped some money at the bar and left. Definitely disappointing because it has potential.

I came here on Sunday before exploring the beach and chose it after reading several detailed 5-star…read morereviews. I was indeed excited to come here so it pains me to leave them (or any business really) a 2 star review.. it really does. It seems they took over from a former restaurant named Island Thyme early last year, so perhaps they still are experiencing growing pains. There was also a private party going on, so that clearly played a factor in their disorganization. Upon entry, the owner asked if we'd like to eat indoors or outdoors. As I was about to respond, she stated "you'll have to sit outdoors, we have a private party inside." Interesting start. After we were seated, my date noticed most of the staff seemed a bit dejected and I replied "Well in my time as a server years ago, that usually reflects not so great management." Sadly I think I was correct. Our food took at least 45 minutes to arrive. At about the half hour mark, the owner came to the table and said that our food is coming out "right now." We ordered a grilled cheese and a burger, which both came with a side of fries. The burger wasn't too bad (except for an indelible crunchy piece that I had to place into my napkin). The fries on the other hand were most definitely undercooked. I took a few bites of the grilled cheese, which I did find quite tasty. After we finished our meal, we heard the owner tell a table that they are BYOB, so they can feel free to grab a beverage from the deli across the street. That information would definitely have been welcomed, as we could sure have used a drink while waiting for the food. When the owner finally came by to check on us (after we ate), we asked for the check. We then watched as she then greeted new guests for the private party and seemingly forgot about us for over 10 minutes. Luckily, a different waitress noticed the credit card I had placed on the side of the table and asked if we would like our check. Everyone's human and we all have off-days/nights, so while my date was quite frustrated and still hungry (barely ate half her food), I figured you can't win 'em all. Little did I know that the best was yet to come. After having to track down a pen to sign the bill, the owner approached us one last time. "Hey I'm the owner and I just wanted to say... can you leave your tip in cash." All in all, great location, good concept, but definitely a severe lack of execution. Perhaps the next time they book a private party, they should consider closing it off to the public, as I noticed several other tables seeming frustrated or ignored as well.

Nice comfortable motif. Long high tables in the middle shaped like an "L" with regular tables for four along the rear periphery. The service is excellent. Brisket and Ribs, Fish and Chips, The Wedge Salad and Charred Octopus were excellent. The hot lobster roll is alright. I realized that we were here before because of the comfortable ambiance which is unforgettable. My friend enjoys his Martini every time. I have tried neither their signature drinks nor a theme dinner night, nor a live music event. Seems like there are many reasons to come to this place. Excellent presentation and experience for a Gastropub joint. Their menu has something for everyone! Five star for gastropub rating. Great experience every time.

For dessert, we shared bread pudding, sliced thin and very delicious.

In business since 1932, Laurel Diner is a classic diner in almost every sense. It's spacious and…read moreboisterous with striped booths that exude retro charm. The menu is appreciably huge, boasting everything from breakfast to sandwiches to pastas and much, much, more. About the only thing here that doesn't recall a bygone era is the pricing, which is high even by 21st-century Long Island standards. Laurel does at least offer rather generous portions (plus free coleslaw and pickles), but the food is nothing special. I went with a pastrami Reuben and a side salad in place of fries. The sandwich satisfied a craving though the meat was a bit chewy. It feels almost blasphemous, but I can get a better version down in North Carolina for about half the $20-plus cost. To Laurel's credit, the staff were at least attentive and accommodating. For those who grew up with diners like this or simply want a lot of options to choose from, Laurel Diner holds a certain appeal. Remove nostalgia from the equation, however, and it offers neither particularly good food nor a good value.

The great-looking lineup of muffins and even homemade biscotti(!) in the display case caught our attention immediately, and by the time we took a look at the menu, we were truly hooked. All of their plant-based meats are homemade from whole foods, such as the signature chorizo (lentils and tofu) and the chicken cutlet (chickpeas). A refreshing change from the highly processed vegan meats served almost everywhere else. We were blown away by the chorizo broccoli rabe sandwich served on sourdough - possibly the best sandwich we've ever had. The tofu scramble bowl was also fantastic, with well-executed details such as green beans mixed in and a side of delicious roasted rosemary potatoes (and a generous side of avocado). The matcha chocolate chip muffin was delicious, as was the almond biscotti. We also really enjoyed the coffee (drip coffee and espresso) which was made with love and served in actual mugs. The food was served in disposable to-go containers even though we dined in, reminding you that it's more of a cafe than a restaurant, even though the chef has the skill and creativity to rival any cloth napkin establishment. Fermento impressed us in a way that is rare: incredible tasty and wholesome food (both savory dishes and desserts) that was both innovative and comforting. Long Beach is a long way away for us, but we are already looking for an excuse to return.
