    Seating is soo nice, especially on the patio! Bread wasn't the best this time; not sure if they changed their olive oil but it wasn't the same. My penne alla vodka was plentiful. Fried calamari was extremely small for the price and our party of five didn't have much each. Still a nice time

    Chicken Francese with pasta

    Came here for a birthday party and let's just say you go here for the views right on the Great South Bay, not for the food. My chicken francese and pasta were ok, nothing great though. Service was fine, you can tell the people there do really care about hospitality.

    Lombardi's is a great place to dine no matter what the occasion. The atmosphere offers a touch of elegance, yet casual atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and accommodating to your dining needs. The portion of food is more than generous and absolutely delicious! Great for special occasions. Weather permitting there is waterfront dining on the patio. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

    REALLY overpriced, esp considering the average quality of the food. Pl don't get be wrong - none of the food is bad ! It's just not great, or sublime, but the prices here are basically twice what they would be at a comparable place serving the same food. They are basically charging a 100% premium for the view. If it's worth it to pay double for the view, then by all means - go for it! The entree sizes are also family size (very large) portions, but even so, for the quality of food / ingredients, it does not justify the price. Bright spot - full bar, & the drinks are all reasonably priced, unlike the food. It's also cavernous inside. Good for a wedding I guess, or something like that, but not really an intimate vibe. And vibes are everything !

    I loved the ambience, beautiful place. The appetizers were very hood- had clams casino, and mozzarella toast which were little on the greasy side though, I wouldn't recommend those. It was my 60th B'day and the menu had many good items, steak, pasta , fish. Etc. But they did not have Alfredo sauce on any of the items. Which is my favorite! I ended up eating eggplant parmesan, it was good and I had leftovers Next time though I'd ho for drinks and apps

    Good. Nice view. Better Italian food out there but also worse. I was with a party of 14 so we had many different dishes. The special of the day was ossobuco with gnocchi and it was delicious. I had the Chilean Seabass, which was amazing. The side pasta dishes that came with it were OK. The cold pasta was OK. The fried calamari were very good.

    Stuffed Filet of Sole with Crabmeat

    The restaurant is located on the Great South Bay of Long Island and there is an outside deck that is open in warm weather. The restaurant area is sectioned off from the party room and the wedding reception room. Also there is a smaller, more traditional and intimate bar on the left as you proceed toward the restaurant section. The restaurant section has tables along the outer walls and a huge bar in the middle of the room. The dining area is well appointed with linen table cloths and a full complement of silverware. In essence, everything that you would expect for a fine dining experience. Naturally, the service; my compliments to John our waiter for the evening; was on par with the ambiance of the dining area. In one word, excellent. The table ordered fried calamari and grilled octopus as appetizers. Although wine was ordered, I did not have any, consequently, I cannot attest to the selection. The appetizers were delicious, from the batter of the calamari to the dressing on the octopus, each bite was better than the last. Staying with the fish theme, I ordered the "Stuffed Filet of Sole with Crabmeat" while my wife chose the "Rigatoni with Spinach, Shrimp, and Scallops." Shortly after the clearing of plates from the appetizers, the entrees arrived. The fillet came with a side of penne or salad. I had asked for a substitution but the only other choice of pasta was linguini. I went with the penne. The penne were a bit past 'al dente,' nonetheless, the marinara sauce was excellent. The fillet was moist and delicious. The stuffing was comprised primarily of crab meat and it too was excellent. Finally, for dessert, I ordered chocolate cake with tea. I was a bit disappointed that the water for the tea was not very hot, however, the cake was so good, that it significantly overshadowed the lukewarm tea. The Takeaways 1. Reservations are a MUST. 2. Excellent portion to price 3. Superb service 4. Beautiful decore 5. Parking near the restaurant is small, however, there is a large overflow lot across the street. 6. Expensive but worth every cent. Tips Get an early reservation and it should be possible to sit near a window with a view.

    Penne with meat sauce, and a side of meatballs

    10/4/23 A beautiful evening in early October. My sister and her husband invited us to join them for dinner at Lombardi's on the Bay. We started with a few appetizers. One of the special appetizers this evening was stuffed zucchini blossoms, we ordered them and the fried calamari, some baked clams oreganata and a seared tuna appetizer that was served rare and studded with sesame seeds, All of the appetizers were served very nicely.For entrees my sister and brother-in-law opted for the linguini with white clam sauce and hubby chose the penne with meat sauce and a side of meatballs. I had to try their whole Bronzino , and I have to say they did a fabulous job with that. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our server Effie did a fantastic job and we enjoyed taking several sunset pictures after we ordered the appetizers. The views are beautiful and the ambience is very, very nice.

    I went here for lunch on a Monday. The place was pretty empty so we went in right away. The place was super cute. Right by the water. Food was good. I ordered from the pre-fixe menu. I ordered stuffed shrimp with crab & spinach. My friend had an amazing beet salad with shrimp. The only thing was that my apple pie should have been warm with the ice cream. The Waiter did offer to warm it after I started to eat it but I declined. I had a good experience and would definitely go back to experience sitting outside.

    Is there a dress code?

    I've only been there for lunch and it was casual. However I would say for dinner it would be collared shirts and nice pants for men. For us girls. We always look great!

    Come hungry leave happy! Lovely indoor and outdoor dockside…read morelocation offering a variety of tasty seafood small to large plates. All drinks standard or fancy come out cold and tasty to accompany that barside snack or full lunch/dinner meal. Servers don fun T-shirts with catchy sayings buzzing around smiling serving it up. Everytime I have dined here they have been very attentive, sometimes overly, but in good spirits just making sure you have everything you wanted and needed, on top of keeping things neat/clean. This outing was for my Mr's Birthday, so appetizer, entrées and dessert. We started with the Crab Spinach and Artichoke dip with chips as we waited for entrée selections. It was served up creamy in a bread bowl stuffed with crab, spinach and artichoke, super tasty and great start. The Mr ordered up the Crab Stuffed Lobster Tail with a bechamel sauce. Noted the flavors were good, but next time would order bechamel sauce on side so there was more control of it not overwhelming the fresh protein with every initial bite. Mentioned the Roasted Potatoes and Corn that accompanied it were nicely cooked and not overly seasoned. Personally opted to double down on the crab side of things and snagged myself one of their Crab cake sandwiches on a pretzel roll. With each bite you knew the crab cake was freshly made not a frozen premade puck. It easily smashed down quickly with each bite, with good fresh crab flavor, not just breadcrumbs, like you might experience elsewhere ;) Also noted their pretzel bun was soft, airy with good classic pretzel flavor without the hard/tough exterior crunch. Noting that in the past I have also ordered up their fresh Tuna Steak entrée which is also a delicious entrée option. Finished off the meal with a menu fan favorite Chocolate Lava Cake, as my Mr is always hoping for it to truly lava out. Will say Harbor Crab definitely has come the closest in sense of it sorta flowing out when cut into. I assured the birthday boy that he should know the texture, taste were indeed on point, even if it didn't fully lava out ;) All in all another great dining experience at this location as the quality of fresh seafood offerings, service, live music ambiance and atmosphere are on point. Totally understand why this has been a fan favorite for my Mr and others for years. Would highly recommend a visit to any seafood lover.

We do love the restaurant as mentioned, and will be happy to return to give them another shot. Thanks for providing the exceptional service that keeps us wanting to come back. We appreciate you!* There was so much to love about this restaurant. The atmosphere was lively, music was great, sunset was beautiful, and the food was good. Our waitress was phenomenal -- sweet, accommodating and attentive despite how busy it was. Other staff members were wonderful too. Unfortunately, our interaction with the manager put a serious damper on an otherwise great evening. We made our OpenTable reservation a week in advance and noted that we'd have our 5-lb Yorkie, requesting outside seating if possible because we weren't sure where dogs were permitted. We weren't being picky and understood it was Labor Day weekend. When we arrived, the hostess explained that our reserved table was inside, so we'd need to wait for a dog-friendly table. She said we'd have priority because we had a reservation. No problem! We got drinks at the outdoor bar and didn't wait long. When another woman eventually seated us, I smiled, said hello and thanked her. She gave me what I can only describe as a dirty look. I shrugged it off, assuming she was stressed because they were busy. Our waitress was fantastic. A busser even kindly offered our dog a water bowl. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and were enjoying ourselves when the woman who seated us suddenly came over, threw water down at the foot of my fiancé's chair and said, "You know your dog is marking up our chairs!" To be completely clear: our tiny Yorkie had urinated on the leg/base of an OUTDOOR chair. He did NOT defecate anywhere. We were eating and hadn't noticed him briefly lift his leg underneath the table. We weren't upset that she told us -- we were stunned by HOW she handled it. Had she simply said, "Excuse me, your dog urinated on the chair," we would have apologized and immediately addressed it. Instead, she threw water beside my fiancé's chair while he was eating and spoke to us in an unnecessarily hostile manner. This is an outdoor dining area at a restaurant that allows dogs, and your own staff had just offered our dog water. If dogs are welcome, situations involving them should be handled professionally. If you don't want dogs there, don't allow them. Our dog is five pounds, quiet and friendly. Other guests and children were stopping by our table to pet him. Had we not already ordered dinner, we would have paid for our drinks and appetizer and left after this interaction. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. My fiancé ordered a filet with a $9 upcharge for hollandaise sauce. The sauce didn't arrive with his steak, so he began eating before it got cold. When the same woman walked by, he mentioned the missing sauce. Instead of apologizing, she said, "Yeah, that can come out later." A $9 sauce ordered for a steak should arrive WITH the steak. He told her he no longer wanted it. She said okay but apparently never communicated that, due to being too busy chatting standing around with others. A busser later brought it and we had to reject it. Our evening cost approximately $200. Expecting our complete meal to arrive together and expecting to be treated respectfully are not unreasonable expectations. I told our waitress about the interactions while making it VERY clear none of this reflected on her. That's when we learned this woman was actually the MANAGER. Our waitress was extremely apologetic, although she had nothing to apologize for. She did her job beautifully, and we made sure to tip her well in cash. That's what makes this so disappointing. This restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, decent food and phenomenal staff. The person who negatively affected our experience was the person who should have been setting the standard. Yes, customers should be responsible for their pets, and we would have immediately addressed the situation had we noticed. But these are outdoor tables and chairs exposed to birds, squirrels and other animals. The hostile reaction to a five-pound dog briefly lifting his leg was unnecessary. There is a right and wrong way to address an issue. Speak to your customers like human beings. Throwing water beside someone's chair while they're eating and speaking to them disrespectfully is unacceptable. To our waitress and the other hardworking staff: THANK YOU. You were wonderful. To the manager: your staff is phenomenal. You should consider taking some customer-service training from them.

    Cool spot with a Manhattan vibe "behind" Main Street in Patchogue…read more The reason this is key is because, since they face out to the firehouse and residential areas, parking USUALLY isn't a problem. There's a small lot that's free and you can park on Jennings. (sorry residents). We went on NYE so had to park several blocks away. No biggie. The inside is dark and cool with a city-vibe. Ample bar space and 1-4 tops an some banquet seating that lets you look out over the street. We were greeted right away by what turned out to be our server and seated promptly by the windows (we had a reservation). Also greeted by a gentleman that we think might have been her dad. The young lady hustled all night and managed the crowd well. We never waited too long for her to check in on us and she was very helpful with selecting wine and clarifying menu items. That being said, THIS IS A SMALL PLATES JOINT. People expecting full-sized portions should adjust their expectations accordingly. We did, however, order the Trastavere seafood platter (medium) which came as a tower and seemed impressive. Two types of oysters (large and medium) were presented; briny and fresh and pretty damned tasty. There was also a ceviche and tuna tartare that was, unfortunately, a bit unremarkable, as was the shrimp cocktail (though the shrimps were pretty hefty). The American "black caviar" was a nice way to commemorate the meal. Nutty with a pop of salinity but maybe something you can skip. We meant to order the Carne e Formaggi but got the Gamberetto instead which was fine as it was pretty tasty nonetheless (made with shrimp but it almost tasted like smoked salmon). Virgola Manhattan was good but pretty standard. Follow-up drink of dirty Manhattan was blissfully salty and cold. But back to the menu: we are unsure if they have an actual kitchen back there which would also explain the small plates concept and oyster and chilled fish options. The bruschetta was tasty, as mentioned, but it seems like they cut and toasted the bread and topped it with the crudo. The other bruschetta options featured ingredients from other menu items that could be re-purposed for multiple dishes. Smart but expect this. We plan on returning and trying the charcuterie board (mix and match cheeses and meats) and some cocktails. Overall, a nice night out and a nice option for dining and drinking around Patchogue. Cheers!
