This was our first visit and definitely not the last. It's a bit of a hike from the crib but well…read moreworth it. First impressions: Our hostess, Janine is a bubbly, bright, breath of fresh air. Ambiance: "Soft Casual", I.e. you feel good in nice jeans, leather and bling. Service: Outstanding! The servers, especially Joe, were attentive without being annoying. Food: Fresh hot bread(s); Generous and fab Fried Calamari and decent Crab cake appetizers (I'm picky being from the Chesapeake Bay region); Excellent Short Rib Pasta and oh so good Shrimp and Crab Pasta entrees! We had the Apple Crumble with Vanilla Ice Cream but I wish I had room for the cheese cake and chocolate ambrosia cake! I think the Chef loves whipped cream almost as much as I do! Easily enough food for a family of 4 for two consecutive dinners! I now understand why everyone had take away bags! They have a prixe fixe menu for the remainder of the year so do make sure to stop by. I know I will. (Reservations recommended).

My friend and I came in on a Sunday afternoon during Long Island Restaurant Week. She read the…read morehours of operations wrong, so we arrived a bit early - before opening actually - but we were still welcomed. What was most impressive was we were waited on by the owner of the joint, David! He was so friendly and sweet, changing the temperature to our needs and offering suggestions on his menu. Unlike most places during LIRW, this restaurant serves full size menu options and not the watered down, miniature versions that most other places do. She chose the Mac & Cheese as her app, I chose the Crab Cakes. I've never been a big fan of Mac & Cheese at restaurants because they just can't compare to my mama's, but I was impressed. This 7-cheese Mac and Cheese was so rich and delicious. You can taste the different cheese throughout and there was more than enough for us to share. The Crab Cakes were delicious! Although, I can't say I was able to pull chunks of crab like I had hoped, they were still delicious accompanied by the caper sauce drizzled on top. We shared our apps because they were so plentiful, and we almost forgot we had entrees and desserts left! As an entree she chose the Shrimp Scampi, which came with rice, veggies and more shrimp than I've seen on a plate - skewered and sauced to PERFECTION. I chose the Short Rib pasta - which was a plate full of rigatoni in a savory brown sauce with grape tomatoes, shaved parmesan and enough short rib to eat in every bite. Needless to say, we had to take our desserts to go. Hers was a chocolate cake and mine a Creme Brûlée. I was pleased when the server (who took over for David) let me know because it was being taken to go, the Creme Brûlée wouldn't hold up well, but they had a good alternative. Overall, I definitely feel like I got more than my $29.95 price tag for the meal between quality and service. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area, and will definitely be coming back.

I like to give great reviews... when they are earned…read more The restaurant is in a hotel I am staying at for a convention on Long Island. The hotel itself is run down - in a great location with friendly staff. Nothing about this place has "wowed" me and the restaurant is no exception. Most of the front desk staff is just hanging out. My group sat at the bar and we asked quite a few questions about the menu - we do this everywhere... curious foodies! Waiter was not sure about menu items so the Rabbi came out and offered vague descriptions. I wanted a martini and the waiter was not a bartender so I had to WALK myself to the bar across the lobby to order my own drink and bring it back to the restaurant. What? The Mediterranean trio appetizer had good filling. Over fried and greasy. The Rabbi offered me a napkin to dab off the excess oil. What? Walking across the lobby to order my 2nd martini and carry back to the restaurant... Greek salad salad was well prepared with fresh vegetables and herbs. Lamb chops? Off the chain delicious!!! Lamb kebab presented on the skewer was fair and salty. There was only one other table in the restaurant - the service was slow and inattentive. Having to ask for things multiple times. There is potential here - it is unrealized.

Location, Location, Location! As another recent review stated, staying at the Allegria is all…read moreabout the location. Right on the Boardwalk with a ramp to the beach right there. We did not stay at an Air B & B because we needed handicapped accessibility, so the hotel worked out great. I booked a handicapped, double beds, and ocean view. They gave us a corner room on the eighth floor. The View was amazing! I overheard an employee saying that the rooms were recently updated. I would NOT say that the rooms were run down, but the attention to detail in the rooms and hallways is noticeably missing, particularly for the price of stay. Couple of small examples. The toilet paper holder was drooping off the wall. Every time I went to tear a piece off, the whole roll would fall. Also they placed one of the hand rails behind the toilet. Handicapped room, so great. However, they did not place it high enough on the wall for the toilet lid and seat to clear it, which caused the seat to constantly fall. Also the paint did not exactly look like it was applied by anyone that pays attention to detail. As far as the good, beyond the location and view. The staff were super friendly. I can not say enough kind words about all the staff I encountered. They were all very friendly and attentive. The room was clean. It was also easy to find street parking during the night. A day or two after we departed they sent me a text offering 25% off if I come stay again within the next two weeks. Given that I don't live downstate, that is not likely to happen. I do have to go back to Long Island next year for a wedding in Suffolk County. Given the price, I am not sure it would be worth it to stay there and travel to the wedding. Maybe if they had offered 25% off my next stay, without an expiration date, I might have considered staying there when I go back down again for the wedding.

We sat at a high top in the bar area on Friday night. We were never given a menu, no one showed up…read morefor 30 minutes. We saw the waitress ( unfortunately we didn't get her name) waved to her and she turned away and left. I went to the host desk and a very kind, hardworking gentleman gave us some menus. We continued to wait so I went to the bar and bought a round for the 4 of us. Finally the waitress came over and rudely said , so I see you got your own drinks. I thought she was joking and she said she would be back, I said wait it has been an hour can you take an order. She said I'll be back left and never returned. The kind host came back, took our order and we eventually got food. Unfortunately of all the items we ordered, the only thing decent was the burger. The pizza was straight out of the freezer, the bao buns dried out and the steak sandwich raw. We missed the movie on the beach. Shout out to Dennis at the bar and Karleke the host. That short waitress with attitude Friday night should be released.

RRDC is the best day camp around and they keep evolving and continuing to improve their facilities…read moreand offerings each year. This family owned camp is filled with a love and passion for an incredible one of a kind summer experience. Their staff are highly trained and qualified, their communication is exceptional and the experiences for their campers can't be matched. They have plans for rainy days and extra hot days to give the kids a fun, safe experience no matter what. Younger campers come home with all sorts of great projects and older campers even get to go on trips. Also, my kids learned to swim and have confidence and a love of the water because of RRDC. Because they are located on Mill River they also offer boating and water activities beyond a pool. During the summer parents get to come watch their kids perform on stage for song and plaque day and for a show. They encourage the kids to try new things which I love. It is not cheap, but this camp and the experiences they provide are worth it.
