Food, ambiance, service.. everything was 10/10! This is exactly what that space needed after being empty for so long after sandy! The food was OUT of this world. We attended for a baby shower and all of us girls cannot wait to go back for brunch, lunch and dinners lol. Not for nothin', even in the winter we might be traveling from Ridgewood to Broad Channel for some amazing food ! Can't wait to take full advantage of this spot next summer! We have not stopped talking about Adrienne's. They did her PROUD. read more

Adrienne’s - As Rigatoni Bolognese, Branzino, Little Gem Caesar Crispy Yukon Golds - Italian Near Me - Broad Channel, New York

Italian, waterfront restaurant located in *checks notes* Broad Channel. Came here with a group of four on a Sunday night and were immediately seated. Large variety of wines by the glass. Handful of beers available by bottle/can; it appeared the bar had a tap line, so I guess some drafts are in the works. They had some spirits and cocktails too. We started with the fried calamari, the grilled octopus, and the tuna crudo. This all came with complimentary bread. My favorite starter was the fried calamari. Super crispy and nicely seasoned. For the main course, we shared the bolognese, the short rib ravioli, and the gnocchi. I enjoyed all three. Their halllmark item appeared to be the bolognese. Definitely a comfy and warming dish. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu. Service was attentive and the dishes came out at a good pace. Looks like a fantastic spot to visit during warm weather in order to enjoy the waterfront deck. read more

4 & 1/2..Summer 2023 is officially in the books and boy was it a kooky one indeed. In spite of some serious weirdness in the universe a good time was still had nonetheless and IMO this place in a wildly unexpected location, was clearly the restaurant of the summer. Frankly this spot, crucially located right at the foot of the entrance to the bike path for the Cross Bay Bridge leading over Jamaica bay and into the Rockaways, is probably pound for pound the best full on waterfront establishment of its type in the 5 boroughs currently. Birthed from the ashes of the horrible tragedy that was the premature death of an up and coming young female chef, her family along with her culinary mentor honored her memory by completing the project she was originally at the helm of. That project would be opening an Italian-inspired waterfront restaurant in a long dormant space previously occupied by a catering hall, and before that a rough and tumble working class bar that the family owned. The space was brilliantly restored and updated inside and out, with a brightly colored light filled dining room centered around a lovely bar, opening to a glorious bayside patio deck that would bring a tear our recently and dearly departed Jimmy Buffet. Indeed if you squint hard enough you could easily convince yourself your at one of the nicer spots on the intercostal or the keys, however once you open your eyes and peer out at that one of a kind vista across the bay, you realize you can only one place in the world. I would say the food and drinks have been uniformly excellent on every one of my quite a few visits here this summer, however I would be completely remiss not to admit that I have pretty much exclusively ordered the "OG" spaghetti and clams, featuring perfectly al dente noodles and fresh bivalves, kicked up a notch that's to some spicy nudja butter. That, combined with the fact that this is one of my favorite dishes in general and I am extremely discerning when it comes to judging versions of it, should tell you something about how great a dish it is. Surely a strong contender for my favorite dish of 23. Drinks, I can say on the other hand I've sampled much more thoroughly and all are delicious and strong and served by some of the best bartenders I've encountered in awhile. Service overall, while It can get a bit bottlenecked during especially rushed times, is most notable for how extremely warm and personable it is, especially on the part of the ownership, no doubt a testament to how personal and important a venture this is to them. Summer maybe sadly over but if you can read this in time, as of the this reviews drafting it's looking like we are in some gorgeous Indian summer days ahead at least for the next week or so, so get down here and soak up some of those vibes while you still can. Happily, this place unlike many Rockaway area institutions, is open year round, so if you're the hearty type of likes the distinctive NE seaside wintertime vibe, even better! read more

Amazing owners amazing food amazing views service is usually good but depends on how busy they are. Over all a neighborhood fave tbh!

The food was amazing. Oysters were delicious, Tuna app was great and very different and the pasta is out of this world. Small place, so make a reservation and service is friendly and attentive. Would have been 5 stars but wine list is lacking. read more

The food and drinks were impeccable, our server Greg was gracious, pleasant and efficient. The hostesses were very friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is very nice, you feel like you're on vacation. I can't wait to return. read more

Living in NYC all my life, it's not too often that I go to a restaurant for the first time and it becomes one of my all time favorites. All I can say is that every appetizer and entree our table ordered was incredible. Absolutely amazing and cooked to perfection. If you haven't been to this hidden gem, get there.... I'm glad I did.

Amazing atmosphere and incredible food. Such a lovely time catching up with an old friend. Espresso martini was so delicious. Love the fact that Adrienne's in on the water. Will visit again when weather gets warmer. read more

Today I went to Adrienne's for the first time I've been wanting to try it for a long time . So on my day off I headed with my daughter . Parking was a little tricky but not too bad . As we approached we were stunned by the view and the fact it's literally right on the water . It's a beautiful place and it was a beautiful day out . The hostess Brianna greeted us with a smile and promptly brought us to a table . We checked out the menu and the server Liz came right over and took our food and drink order . She was on point and on top of things from start to finish . We ordered the rigatoni bolognese and the Gnocchi with ricotta pics attached . We shared both and enjoyed them although the bolognese was the better of the two . For dessert we had the "big banana " which was always delicious and a huge portion. All in all a home run in my book and we look forward to coming back again and again throughout the warm weather . read more

There's only 1 place we wanted to have dinner on our honeymoon with my wife, and you guessed it, Adrienne's!!! From the moment you walk in the vibes, warm welcoming from Chris, Leo, Frankie, Christine, waitstaff, runners, bussers, and everyone in there just puts a smile on your face. Not only did it recreate memories from the first night we visited during opening week, it created a memory the 2 of us will remember forever. Bless you all, the food is 5 star, the decor 5 star, the feeling of being around the level of hospitality that is provided reminds me of being home with my own family. Thank you all for incredible service and the most delicious food out there. Cheers to many more!!!! read more

Went here for a special dinner and this place was outstanding, the bread, steak and frites and shrimp pasta were so good and worth the money! Looking forward to going back to try more of the menu read more

Delicious food that was served in a timely manner. Great place for a casual dinner with friends or family

The ambiance and service was great. The selection on the menu was limited but the food was delicious. The view in the water was beautiful. Overall a good spot for some good food. The drinks were good but a little on the pricey side. read more

First time for us at Adrienne's. Beautiful spot, a very comfortable room and caring professional service. We had raw oysters to start.. delicious and well shucked. The Baby Arugula salad was fresh, refreshing and tasty. The grilled branzino was perfectly prepared with nice sides in on the plate. The only disappointment was the Hake Special... the fish was lacking in flavors, sitting in an excess of sauce with a "hard to enjoy" side of fried mushrooms. We will be back and will definitely try their famed Fresh Pasta dishes. read more

All around incredible restaurant. The food was amazing, service with a Hampton feel on the water. The cocktails, main course and home made desserts were all amazing. Live entertainment with two amazing bars. I highly recommend this GEM to everyone. Thank you to the Owner Frank for coming over to our table. 5 Stars read more

Adrienne’s - Entertainment - Italian Near Me - Broad Channel, New York

I never write reviews but I am truly disappointed. My father in law was very upset and disappointed as he works for marriott ritz-carlton and expected a better experience. We had a reservation for 11 people for a birthday brunch . We got there and started off with ordering drinks that was a little bit of a wait as well as the appetizers we ordered after. The most disappointing part was the extremely long wait for the main course. We had a diabetic and two children at the table. We barely got checked up on by our waiter and the manager only came by once as he was at everyone else's table. We had to get another waiter to get the attention of our waiter to order another round of drinks. We were very disappointed at the inattentive service. The food was okay. Then the manager had the nerve to ask as we are leaving after a 3 hour brunch why we didn't tip better, after not seeing him throughout the whole brunch. Very unprofessional, Never coming back again. read more

Hi New Yorkers! I'm a wife, mom of 6, and grandmother of 3. Here's my rating on the food overall! Let's just say that I rate it a 3.7 Signature salad was amazing. Very light and appetizing before the main meal The octopus was lovely! Bolognese pasta was a bit oily. Steak was tasty but a pinch chewy. They also need a better wine selection!! Service was great. She checked on us every 8 ish minutes to see how we were doing and ask us about the food and didn't ghost us. This is what you call customer service! Dinner did not disappoint! Enjoy your food here with family and friends. Oh wait, it's time for happy hour! So long ladies read more

If I could give 100/10 stars, I would. My family and friends hosted my baby shower at Adrienne's this past weekend and the event was magical. The service was exceptional, the servers and staff really went above and beyond to make sure my guests were always with a drink in hand (and an iced glass of water in mine). The food was beyond delicious and in abundance. I can't wait to go back for a sunset dinner, or even a lunch with my friends. The view was also stunning as we had amazing weather that day. Thank you to the staff at Adrienne's for making my baby shower so memorable. read more

Went here last night w a large group. We had outstanding drinks at the bar before heading upstairs to a "private" dining area which overlooks the rest of the gorgeous restaurant. The owner Leo was SUPER attentive to all our needs while his waitstaff tirelessly worked serving us also. The food, from start to finish, which ranged from the fresh bread at the outset, the salad (yes the salad even gets a comment), Sliced steaks, calamari, buratta, meat-a-balls, roasted potatoes....you get the point ...all oober delicious closing with an outrageous cheesecake with hints of pistachio cream on top. My after dinner espresso martini was AMAZING (3 beans of course floating) . Someone commented it looked like a Guinness beer it had so much foam!! Amazing! Delicious. Leo brought over after dinner shots of Lemoncello, on the house, because why not?? Trust me...go. Just go. read more

Great waterfront restaurant which is one of its main draws. Classic Italian with a modern touch makes this place worth a visit read more

Great food, perfect ambiance, excellent service, wonderful views! This spot is going to be huge! One outdoor bar and one indoor bar - it's giving vacation vibes. The service was very good, multiple staff members are ready and willing to assist you aside from your waitress/waiter. The crispy tuna was the best I've ever have. The shrimp cocktail was good too. The frozen watermelon lemonade was delish! I usually don't like frozen drinks but this was great - like a slushee consistency, not icey. I ordered the pasta with shrimp which was good. I really want to try the rigatoni next time. My mom loved her mushroom asparagus and pea farrutto and my dad loved his salad. The dessert special was fab, which I took a pic of it. Will definitely be back, can't wait to go with friends. read more

Three stars only because atmosphere saved it from a two. Food wasn't anything to write home about. Cocktails are ok. Lots of bugs during the warmer season. Honestly a 3 star is what this place deserves. However, it gets a lot of support from local community so the five stars don't surprise me. read more

Coming from Nassau County you only have to take the sometimes unfriendly Belt Parkway to Cross Bay Blvd. The drive from there is a breeze. Well worth the trip. You start to feel miles away from "the City", and relaxed. There is a free parking lot a block away from Adrienne's and some street parking right by the restaurant (I got there early in the evening and there was plenty). The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. The service is prompt, engaging and professional. Ask the waiter for recommendations- Greg was "right on" with all his favorites! I had an outstanding Caesar Salad and their "specialty" - rigatoni bolognese. I loved it, and everyone we dined with loved whatever they ordered. Everything on the menu sounds so good, it's difficult making choices - that's why you ask your waiter. I can't wait to go back when the weather gets milder. That can only add to the wonderfulness of this special place! read more

I finally got around to visiting this slightly hidden jewel in Broad Channel. I arrived on a blustery Saturday just as brunch was winding down. I got the "Her Name is Ramona" sandwich, with the Tuna Crudo to start. I love a good Tuna Crudo. This was an excellent one, with some tiny tasty microgreens atop them, held in place by a dot of delicious basil kewpie. The sandwich consisted of mortadella, burrata, a perfectly prepared "sunny egg", and a generous dollop of a wonderful pistachio pesto on each side of the sandwich. Served with fried potatoes and a chipotle mayo. I'm curious how it got its name. I was staying at a nearby bungalow, so I took home the charcuterie and garlic bread, which made for a hearty breakfast the next day, served with a baby arugula salad. The space is open and airy, bustling without being loud. Gorgeous outdoor views of bay and big sky. I will be back soon. read more

Adrienne’s - A view of the bar, the west wall, the upper level...and my fingertip! - Italian Near Me - Broad Channel, New York

We were so delighted to get a new local restaurant, and especially one honoring a member of the community. But we never expected it to be THIS good. I had a meal there yesterday that surpassed all expectations. Loved the grilled garlic bread with burrata, had the most flavorful grilled shrimp Caesar I've ever tasted, and the almond cheesecake was epic. Perfect service, wonderful views, and beautiful space. Truly looking forward to going back! read more

The summer vibe is 100% amazing! Their food menu and service I've had the three times I've been here, has been outstanding!

Come here for the location and beautiful views. You'll feel like you are on vacation at a nice seaside town. The place is done very nicely and you can eat right waterside and the service is friendly but a little slow when it got a little busy. The food is ok. The crispy tuna appetizer could be better - too much rice relative to the tuna. If they halve the rice and it would taste much better. The rigatoni was too underdone for my taste but the bolognese sauce was nice. It is a good place to have lunch after or before going to the beach since there really aren't many places to eat right off the bridge. read more

Found this on Yelp and glad we did. We were outside on the deck on a cool sunny afternoon and it was heaven. We ate light since we had an early flight out of JFK in the AM. The Caesar and Rigatoni Bolognese were both amazing. Service was good - a little slow but we were enjoying the scenery and the views. read more

We chose Adriennes's for a birthday celebration after having brunch there. We were a party of 13. We elected to do ala carte rather than family style so everyone could choose What they wanted from the brunch menu. Chris, was delightful to work with, always available to answer questions and flexible for all our requests. We were set up in the glass room with the fabulous view of a Jamaica Bay, the sky and the A-Train. Everyone was thrilled with their food choices, we sampled most of the menu. The cocktails are brilliant combinations of flavors and non alcoholic varieties were available for all. We will be regulars at Adrienne's as there is no other place in the Rockaway's that comes close to the quality and service they offer. Thank you Chris!!!! read more

Excellent service, great menu. Food was delicous all around. They know what they are doing. Waterfront Dining with great music A+.

Went there after a number of attempts at getting an earlier reservation. Ambiance and decor are beautiful. Parking is rough My biggest complaint is the limited menu. Some salads. Some pasta. For an Italian restaurant they need to expand their menu. Add chicken parm. Chicken Franchese. Filet mignon. If you are charging Manhattan prices. We had 2 glasses of wine. Ravioli and a skirt steak. 120.00. Pricey for a neighborhood spot. Plus live music during dinner hours. I just like conversation with my wife and background music is fine. You don't need a guy singing Springsteen. Have to rethink coming back. read more

I've been wanting to come here since I first heard about Adrienne's opening. 10/10! Already making plans to come back. The service was great, the food was delicious and the drinks were so good! The ambiance and look and feel of the place are so perfect and beautiful. So well decorated and very clean! Our server was Greg and he was awesome! Attentive, helpful, made sure everything was great! We also had the pleasure of meeting Leo. Great guy and great manager, you can tell that he cares for the place and he knows what he's doing. We sat on the deck outside and it was beautiful! We ordered Chef A's bolognese, the Market Special fish, the Caesar salad, the burrata, shrimp cocktail, oysters and the cheesecake and the special sundae. The raw bar options were perfect! Fresh, nicely clean and the best cocktail sauce I've ever had! The shrimp were the perfect size, the oysters were very fresh! The Caesar salad was perfectly flavored and delicious. The burrata and garlic bread were amazing. The fish special was a cod fish and it was perfectly cooked and the saffron vinaigrette that was on top completed the dish! So perfectly flavored as well. The Bolognese was probably one of the best I've ever had, pasta cooked perfectly and the flavor was delicious. I am not a huge fan of bolognese at all but I couldn't stop eating this one. For dessert we had the cheesecake and yet again perfectly made, it was deliciously creamy and light and the perfect balance with the chocolate as well. The sundae was delicious, refreshing and perfectly made. Overall a really great place. Great job to the whole team at Adrienne's, all your hard work paid off. Chef A is being honored in the best way possible! read more

We just came back from Adrienne's and what a great dining experience it was! We shared the chopped salad-it was delicious. The wife had the swordfish special-amazing and I had the bolognese-the best I've ever had. The flourless chocolate cake was great too. I would give an extra star for our server, Giselle, who was attentive without being intrusive. Parking can be a little sketchy but if you gat there after 5 look for a spot in the bagel shop's parking lot down the block. At 5:15 today (Sunday) I had no problem. Even though we live in Nassau County this will be our go-to place for the summer. The deck was scenic and live music was wonderful. read more
