    Shrimp scampi  and broccoli over thin spaghetti.    Extra shrimp added on request.
    Paul C.

    Quiet relaxed atmosphere and not rushed. Friendly owners. who make you feel welcome. For a small diner, care is given to keep the food fresh and presented well. This dish was a special request variation of the Shrimps Scampi dinner offered on the menu. I asked for the scampi shrimp to be served over spaghetti with a few extra shrimp added upon my special request. Broccoli , dded by the owner chef, made the eye appeal enticing.

    Pastitsio!  Yummy!

    We were passing through and saw the sign and went in for lunch. Tatiana, the owner's wife greeted us warmly. The food was excellent! I had the Pastitsio, which is Greek lasagna and my wife had the Gyro Chicken Wrap. The dining room and tables were clean and inviting. Judging from the crowd that was there, this establishment is popular with the locals and that's always a good sign! I recommend this restaurant highly.

    My mom and I came in one morning before I had to go to the airport I had the Spinach, onions, tomato, ham and cheese omelet. The omelet was brown and well done. I feel unless you ask for your eggs well done or soft / easy they should not be brown or runny. They should be cooked just normal. The omelet had what it said it had but the cheese on top had hardly melted for eggs that were so well done. As far as getting service there was only 1 other booth in the back with 2 men. The waitress must have known them because she stood there talking to them for a good few minutes after we sat. When we went to pay we stood at the register for no less than 5 minutes. The cook finally came out and took our money because the waitress was too busy talking to the last booth. This place is under its 3rd ownership. With the quality of food and their pricing I dont see them lasting either. My omelet was $12.95 on their special Monday - Friday menu. My suggestion based on knowing the history of this place. Lower the prices a bit and you might get the crowd in you need to stay in business. A veggie omelet at the Coram Pond is only $9.95 every day!

    Being home cooking for a few weeks during the quarantine makes you a bit crazy in search of different foods and flavors. We tried this place for the first time and it didn't disappoint. We got the family meal at a great price point. The gyro meat was perfectly cooked and not too salty like some other places. The salad was beautifully presented and chickpea side was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

    Meet lover and delux breakfast, it was so yummy

    Three of us went here for our Christmas Eve dinner. We haven't been here for a while because of our…read morepast experience, but we thought we'd give it another shot. Big mistake. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms with crab meat and mozzarella cheese on top. The mushrooms were barely cooked. Strike 1. For my entrée, I chose the surf and turf ($85) which was a tiny stuffed lobster tail, and a 6 ounce fillet mignon which I ordered medium rare and it came out, medium well. I sent it back and they brought me a rare almost raw piece. I didn't bother sending it back AGAIN. I just didn't eat it. I took it home. At $85 I was not about to throw it away. The Lobster tail was tiny, (maybe 3 bites) but tasty. My husband and mother both got the duck entrée ($58) which they described was overcooked, dry and chewy. Strike 2 & 3 For dessert, I passed, but my husband and mother both got the Tres Leches cake and Cappuccino's which they said was delicious. So after the bill came, which was over $300, the only thing that was truly enjoyed was the dessert. Pretty expensive meal for cake and coffee. We will not be returning.

For one dinner I had the Surf and Turf which was excellent, large stuffed lobster tail with a large perhaps 8oz filet mignon well seasoned and tasty. A few weeks later we returned for the $46 pp price fixed menu and while some of the apps like the baked clams and wedge salad were solid one entree in particular the rack of lamb left plenty to be desired, the meat while tender was very bland despite the appearance on the plate, the mashed potato's were awful bland and tasted like something you'd get out of the microwave and it's not a good look to charge $7 for substituting asparagus as an alternative. Also the price fixed menu is missing some dessert options that should be in there like the tasty Tres Leches albeit very overpriced at $10. All in all the ambiance and service is pretty good but the food is hit or miss and they don't seem to carry clam chowder at least the New England style very often.

It's a bigger restaurant with a big parking lot, really nice bar and lounge area, separate from the dining room! There is an outdoor patio with a Tiki Bar and live music regularly, such a really nice/relaxing atmosphere to be in! I was at Popei's last week with my daughter for dinner. We started with a mozzarella stick appetizer and they serve 4 which is really 8 to me because they are double the size of the standard mozzarella stick! Perfectly fried and really tasty! I ordered the fried shrimp platter that is served with 8 jumbo shrimp. The batter is delicious and served golden fried, It is NOT oily by any means and the shrimp was very fresh! My daughter ordered the shrimp scampi and her reaction was the same as mine! The scampi sauce was perfection! For dessert I ordered the Pistachio Gelato which was delicious with a swirl of chocolate throughout! My daughter ordered the lava cake which she consumed!

Lead by Chef Spiro for more than 30 years, it is a staple in the community. They offer a huge bar area/lounge with multiple large TVs, an elegant dining room, and a beautiful private party room. They also have an awesome back patio that is sure to be a hot spot when the weather is warmer. The food, cocktail, and dessert menu is vast, and sure to offer something to your liking. Their focus is on fresh seafood, high quality cuts of meats, and daily rotating specials. We absolutely loved both appetizers that we got, and the Prime 10oz filet mignon was cooked perfectly. We went all out of their dessert, trying some of some of our favorites that they executed very well! All the cocktails that we had were fresh and delicious. Great meal! We went on the weekend, but their Monday Lobster Night menu is insane! $58 includes your choice of appetizer, a 2lb whole stuffed lobster, and a dessert! We have to come back for that soon! We loved it here and we know you will too! Follow us on IG @drinklongislandny for full video review and many more!
