I've seen a lot of 3-star reviews for this place but not sure why. Obviously, everyone has their…read moreopinion, but we really enjoyed what we ate at The Main Event. Huge menu offering good 'ole American food, and serving huge portions !! We learned that getting here early on a Saturday night (between 5 - 5:30p) means nothing cuz it's packed, and we learned they DO take reservations. Good to know. This place is popular... and for good reason. My husband ordered the BBQ baby back ribs and loved them. He said he was impressed with how good they were. I ordered a Chicken Caesar wrap, which was loaded with chunks of well-seasoned grilled chicken and some lettuce sitting on top of fresh pita bread rolled up. As my side, I got a Greek salad, which I then incorporated into my grilled chicken wrap. I loved putting it all together, but if you think I was able to finish that, you'd be wrong. I brought it home and enjoyed it the next day for lunch, although parts of it were admittedly soggy. I just ate around the soggy parts cuz it was too good to waste. We only visit L.I. (family lives here) once or twice a year, but now that we know about this place, I'm sure it will become part of our rotation. We loved what we had, so we want to try more !

Came here for Super Bowl and didnt disappoint. Food was pretty normal, but the standout choice was…read morethe Octopus Salad with Lump Crab Meat. It was large, tasty and made me feel healthier after gobbling down pints of good beer and greasy appetizers. I liked the sweet honey wings dipped in hot sauce. BBQ wings were a close second. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a TGIF style food experience, but classier.

We ordered the Nigiri/Sashimi platter, the sesame salmon roll, pork bao buns, Cod, rock shrimp, lobster tacos, tuna tostada, and crispy rice. All were good but standouts were the Cod, pork bao buns, and rock shrimp. The sauce on the Cod was so tasty and it was extremely fresh. I probably wouldn't order the tuna tostada again as it was very oniony. Service was great, very attentive and provided good recommendations. Would definitely return for sushi in Nassau.

The restaurant itself is stunning, beautiful design, good music, and an upscale bar that transports you far from the reality of being in a strip mall on Jericho Turnpike. The ambiance feels high end and thoughtfully curated. However, a few details reminded us we were still in a strip mall. Small but important things that could easily make or break this place. The bartender, who essentially represents the restaurant and sets the tone , the "sensei" of the establishment, so to speak. He was friendly and kind, but his expertise in cocktails and culinary knowledge was lacking. After our first cocktail, I made it clear that I dislike sweet drinks or wines. He then recommended a Riesling which is known for being a sweet, semi-dessert wine -- which made me question his understanding of the menu. He seemed young and inexperienced, though well-intentioned. The food was a mixed experience. The raw bar appetizers were excellent, and both the lobster udon pasta and spaghetti were delicious! Unfortunately, the lamb chops were a complete miss. We ordered them medium rare, as they arrived so..they were looking and tasting boiled, with no sear, no crust, and a chewy texture. Halfway through my second glass of wine, the bartender refilled it without asking. I assumed it might be on the house,tipping me off. As it wasn't a full glass of wine. When the bill came, I saw I had been charged for a full glass. He never asked if I wanted another; he simply refilled it and added it to the check. That's an amateur. We also received a complimentary glass of champagne (which we noticed was being served to all omakase guests), though the bartender presented it as though it were a personal gesture from him. His words were "these last two rounds were on me". Meanwhile, it was just a 2 glasses of champagne.. my husband and I ordered 3 drinks each, one of which I was poured and did not ask for. Until the service matches the sophistication of the space, this restaurant will struggle to keep diners coming back.

Unassuming would be the correct word, in a strip mall where years ago we must have visited for one of the original AYCE sushi places. More recently, there was a pub that had live music. You may know it as the strip with the Post Office & Bottle Values (what I picture a liquor store in the former USSR feeling like. Lee & I made the mistake of not heading East into Carle Place/Garden City for a celebratory cocktail, we attempted to try The Foundry in Hicksville, but that was incredibly short lived. Pearl Kitchen & Cocktails turned out to be a nice choice. I enjoyed a Bee's Knees, perfectly made in a Nick & Nora glass (a way to place less spirits than a coupe) and Lee enjoyed a Mezcal concoction on the rocks which he enjoyed. We had some fabulous Mussels in a white broth and the Thai Calamari with peanut dressing. Both memorable. The owners are not novice restaurateurs. I believe if this is correct, one is of KYMA and the other was somewhere that I was familiar with the bunch of names. We would return, yes..but the overall setting and vibe was true to a strip mall. Lots of parking though !

The chicken was so dry inside, we couldn't eat it and thrw out all 8 pieces. The mac and cheese wasn't terrible, but I've certainly had better.
