    Dinner-Dry Aged Short Rib Ragu-Awesome
    Frank M.

    Our daughter gave my wife and I a gift certificate for Arlo Kitchen and Bar. So, we trekked out to Fort Salonga from New Hyde Park to check it out. Upon entering which is an upscale restaurant we were greeted by several hostesses. We arrived early around 4:30 due to no traffic surprisedly and our reservations were for 5:00, so we sat at the bar for a while due to it was too early for us to eat dinner. Luckily it was still happy hour. The restaurant was not crowded because it was early and it was the day after New Year's Day. My wife ordered a Cosmo and a Margarita for me. Drinks were good and the bartenders were efficient and friendly. After the drinks at 5:00 we headed upstairs to a cozy table. Our waiter greeted us, and we ordered fried calamari for an app and 2 glasses of wine. For dinner we both had the DRY AGED SHORT RIB RAGU, (dry aged short rib, paccheri pasta, wild mushroom, veal demi, red wine, and parmesan). So very good. It was a good portion. The fried calamari was very good and the Short Rib RAGU was awesome. We had leftovers and enjoyed it the next day. We were too full for dessert, so we just had cappuccino, which was very good also. One the best I have had in a restaurant. Prices were reasonable for an upscale restaurant. We enjoyed our time at the bar and dinner. Definitely a must to check out especially if you are celebrating an event.

    Service: Good all around. They have a valet service and the attendants were so nice. The server gave us recommendations and told us some of her favorites and veered us in a direction to have a nice cohesive meal. The server didn't write things down, so a couple of the smaller items we requested did not come out. Food: Winter Burrata Salad - Wonderful Mix of Textures. The flavors were warm and inviting for the winter vegetables and pumpkin seed, while the creaminess of the cheese paired well with the crunch of the crispy prosciutto Wagyu New York Strip - well seasoned. Since this is such a fatty cut of steak, we ask for it to be cooked medium to render some of the fat out. The steak is very buttery and coats your mouth. Cowboy Steak - Okay. Even though it was dry aged, it didn't have the nuttiness a dry aged steak would have. I would splurge and get the tomahawk if a ribeye is what you desire. Foie Gras Risotto - Full Funk! It had the same funkiness as eating goat cheese. If you like that funk, then this is for you. After taking this home and reheating with a bit of water, the funk was diluted a bit. Kitchen Potatoes - Buttery. Lovely to have a change of pace to not have mashed potatoes on the table. The chunks of potatoes were fried to become fluffy and crispy. Brussels Sprouts - Sweet. The sprouts had a sweetener that threw it off balance. Mille Feuille Dessert - best dessert! This was a specialty item for the night. The pastry was crip and the custard was decadent! On to my next adventure...

    My absolute favorite restaurant on Long Island. I've been coming here since it opened and it always a winner each time. It feels like Manhattan without taking the LIRR. I LOVD the entire atmosphere, the James Bond vibe, the classy look and when it warmer the upstairs outside area. The drinks, food and service is TOP TIER. This is a place for a special celebration. The pork chop is my go to. Love ya Arlo.

    Absolutely blown away by the food and service at Arlo! One of the best meals I ever had. Gorgeous interior as well. They had a live violin player who even played happy birthday for us and the restaurant gave us a birthday card. The steaks were cooked perfectly, broccolini and mac and cheese soooo delicious. The desserts were some of the best ever. Cheesecake was phenomenal. Can't wait to go back! Highly recommend!

    Arlo is a fancy and upscale place, and I've been here a few times for dinner, including New Years Eve because we wanted to get dressed up nice and still stay local. But the food is always underwhelming, overpriced, and just not worth it compared to many other restaurants on the island, or even in Suffolk County. We probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

    Lamb chops mint crusted were great !

    The restaurant is beautiful . We were a party of 6 and we were sat in a spacious booth that was perfect for us with 2 kids. Our waiter was very kind and knowledgeable . They were very attentive and stopped by to refill our water and bread often. The food was delicious and all cooked perfectly. The music was also great ! Pork chop with asparagus was my favorite with spicy peppers.

    First a foremost - the location and service are fabulous. Contemporary meets mid century modern, and breathtaking out door space make this a feast for the eye and pleasure for the senses. Staff has always been very welcoming, and attentive. They food IMHO - total gamble. Each plate can either incredibly good of incredulously bad. No rhyme or reason or reason to it other than what I can assume is poor teamwork and attention to detail in the kitchen. For instance, the bone marrow in the pictured item was completely raw.. unless that bone marrow is prepared properly beforehand and put into the casserole. There's no way to effectively bake them at the same time and have the marrow be cooked.. that was the case here. In addition that entire plate had zero seasoning or balance.... All fat, no flavor... nothing popped. Just blah. Same for many of the brunch items... no pop or flavor to make a memory. Just blah. Contrast that against every pasta dish we've had here which has been absolutely fabulous. I'm not a professional chef nor do I pretend to be one... but I am a keen observer of service quality and appreciate the craft, so it saddens me that food and preparation is so inconsistent at Arlo in my experience.

    This place is a great date night spot. The food is delicious and great dessert options. Staff was friendly.

    Went back for Mother's Day brunch. Had a great time. The service was great and the food was delicious. My husband went with the steak and eggs. I got the lobster avocado toast. We started with the tuna tartar.

    This might just be *the* most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to on Long Island! My mom had her heart set on celebrating her birthday here, so we went for brunch--and wow, what a great choice. The place is cozy, stunning, and the staff? Absolutely amazing. We kicked things off with a glass of Prosecco For entrées, I went with the eggs Benedict, which came with the most delicious truffle hollandaise--rich, but not overpowering and the most delicious crispy breakfast potatoes! My mom went for the lobster avocado toast. They do NOT skimp on the lobster. It was so good! When they found out it was my mom's birthday and that I recently got engaged, they surprised us with a baked Alaska! Sweet, thoughtful, and so delicious. And if that wasn't enough, they brought out another round of champagne on the house! I've honestly never seen a staff go above and beyond like that. We were there with two friends who had been there before and told us how beautiful the upstairs dining area is. Sadly, it was closed for a private event, but now I have a reason to come back--and I will be back! The pastas on the menu looked incredible, so I might have to plan a dinner visit next time. Highly, highly recommend this place--it's a total gem!

    Tuna tartare
    Ash M.

    Very classy restaurant with incredible service. The food here is top notch and their menu has a variety of options with a focus on seafood. Their cosmos and espresso martinis are perfectly strong while having lots of flavor. The tuna tartare was fresh and tasty! I liked the grilled octopus but I wouldn't order it again, it just wasn't my favorite but it was still tasty. The seared ahi tuna was delicious and the dish had lots of flavor to it. The Wagyu was the star of the show and was a special on their menu. The marbling was amazing and the steak was perfectly cooked. We ended with the rosemary creme brûlée which was so sweet and savory and I loved every bite! I can't wait to come back!

    The lychee rouge
    Karen R.

    I have been wanting to go here for a while now finally tried them for brunch. The service is outstanding, the vibe is upscale elegant. And the place is bigger than it seems from the outside. It is a little loud so it's hard to converse while you're dining, but this seems to be the case everywhere lately. The food & drinks are great! I started off with the lychee rouge, because lychee is a fav! I'll be honest I was a little concerned it would be too sweet given the ingredients, but it was fantastic! Not sweet, but floral and fruity. I ordered eggs in purgatory, wow they are spicy!!!! But delicious. I'm glad I finally tried them I enjoyed it very much.

    Oh what a gem! How lucky are we to have this in our neighborhood. The service was beyond fantastic…read more It felt so cozy inside, which I love. They also have outdoor seating as well. But the food - Oh gosh, the food was out of this world! The octopus app was the most delicious octopus I've had. So tender, not overcooked like so many places unfortunately do. The enchiladas with shrimp were also amazing. The cheese to shrimp ratio was perfect! You can tell everything is made fresh, the flavors are authentic and most importantly, you can tell this food is made with love. Don't forget to order yourself dessert. Their flan is AMAZING!

    Went here with our friends for an early dinner, we were blown away by the food and the staff's…read morehospitality. We got the guacamole with chicharron and the queso for apps which were delicious, we nearly licked the plates clean. Excellent entrees were enjoyed were the Pollo Mole Negro, amazing and authentic flavors, enchiladas verde, well sauced and balanced, chile relleno, super flavorful and packed with cheese. And the star of the show, Chamorro al Horno, a delicious slow braised pork shank served with black bean puree and charred habanero oil. As we were enjoying our food, we kept seeing even more delicious dishes leaving the kitchen and knew we would be back to try the whole menu. Our dinners were spectacular, they were plated beautifully and tasted even better. The drinks were strong and tasty as well. And to top it off the desserts were out of this world, we got the churros and flan and would highly recommend both. The waiter was lovely, food came out quickly, we weren't rushed out while lingering a little with our friends, and the chef came out to offer us home made hot sauce and make sure we enjoyed everything. Every single bite was delicious, worth every penny, and we will be back.
