    Mousse cake
    Jv Y.

    We decided to head here for some apps and cocktails to wind down the day after a few hours at the range. First time here for everyone in our group, and the menu had some interesting items that caught our attention. Lots of parking and the inside was roomy. We were greeted warmly, and the staff was quite friendly and cheerful. It was getting too chilly to sit outside, so we opted to sit in the big room. There was a private party in the back, but it wasn't loud. One of the things that I noticed was that the bartender personally walked my friend's cocktail to the table, and asked her to taste it and compare what might be lacking. I felt that was a great touch. After a dash of triple sec, her drink was perfect. Ordered apps, and they came out in a timely fashion. The nachos were piled high, and the grilled veggie salad with scallops were a hit. Shortly after, the entrees arrived. My burger was medium rare, bacon was plenty, fries were crisp. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Italian Sushi was interesting, and one of the menu items that caught our attention. There were generous cuts of tuna and salmon over risotto cakes, very refreshing. Fish and Chips were actually lightly battered shrimp and my friend brought home the tiny bit that was left. Her husband got his scallop craving sated with some nice plump seared goodness. Dessert...Mousse cake. #thisiswhyimfat

    The store owner was so polite and pleasant to be around Not only would I eat here again, but I would come here every day for the rest of my life if I could

    We came here yesterday after leaving Laplace due to being disrespected by one of the workers. Came into north and was greeted right away and was sat right away. Our server was Victoria who is excellent. We ordered our food and it came quickly and was outstanding. They even came to our table and dropped off a complimentary lemon cello drink. This place is very quaint and cozy and we can't wait to come back again.

    Pastrami sandwich

    Since my last review was 2 years ago, I am compelled to update this fantastic restaurant. We eat here at least once a month, and it's always phenomenal food and service. Just had a party here. EVERYTHING was FANTASTIC! Guests are still raving about the food and service. Parties are welcomed with a champagne punch and roving hors d'oeuvres. The finger foods were diverse and delicious! Everything from shrimp, kielbasa, tuna tartar to mini nachos, chicken fingers, mini sandwiches, fresh fruit skewers and more! I had to try everything because one tray looked better than the next, and it was! Multiple dinner choices include their legendary meatloaf stack and penne ala vodka with chicken. I had the crab cake with salmon Dijon, and it was so good i practically licked the plate clean. Our servers were so friendly and attentive. Nobody was ever waiting for a drink. We had the beer, wine, soda package along with our party and everyone was happy. They have many tap beer selections and wines to choose from. Dessert consisted of their famous coffee cake which is melt in your mouth moist & delicious, with a brownie and icecream, with chocolate drizzle plated so beautifully. I cannot say enough about Brian the owner and his remarkable staff. We were treated like royalty. If you're seeking a great place to have a party, look no further than North Tavern!

    Lobster roll and fries
    Joyce W.

    Have been coming here for a couple of years and have always loved it. It's still good but not great. It used to have my absolutely favorite lobster roll on the North Fork... no longer. What made their lobster roll outstanding was the dill. It was amazing. Now they offer a special.... Half lobster roll, salad with shrimp and fries $36. Not a bad price but the lobster roll is no longer seasoned with dill and the shrimp were usually warm in the salad. We also had the fish & chips. It too was good but not outstanding... there was a lot of fish but some of the fish pieces weren't cooked enough. Fries were great. A bit disappointed but will still come back and hope the next time it's like old times and outstanding again.

    Artichoke salad
    Diana O.

    Another amazing evening at North Tavern. We started with wine and the artichoke salad and tuna and salmon nachos. Yes! Dinner specials never disappoint. Tonight a tasters seafood plate and the beautifully presented short rid bolognese. Paired with wine and finished with chocolate cake.

    Look at that plate...perogies cooked perfectly.

My friend's chicken sandwich was dry and nothing special. My crab cake sandwich had absolutely NO crab in it. None at all. It was a fried bread patty. I could not eat it. I asked for water because we were not given any and we never got it. I even watched the server fill her personal water bottle right in front of us. This place is in need of major improvements. Avoid

We were told that Watermark was five minutes away, and people liked it. We verified that in Yelp, and sure enough, let's go. This is not the sort of place you'd find by accident - on a minor coastal road and pretty much off by itself. The parking lot was so packed that we had to give up on it and park on the road. We were told that there would be a slight delay for a table, but seeing the enthusiastic crowd, we figured it might be worth it. It was. We got a really great roomy table, and our server was a gem. Looking back over the reviews here, we got their star quarterback in Connor, who sat down at a spare chair and talked to us about what to eat. Within two minutes, we were old friends. I'm a big fan of originality in menus, and they had it to spare. I ended up with the fried chicken sandwich and Donna had the Left Coast sandwich. Ham turkey and swiss on crainberry bread. They were both delicious and too much for one sitting. Connor even offered to wrap my mayo. The vibe was enthusiastic but not horribly loud, the food was unifromly great and the service was superior. We now have a go-to place in the Riverhead area.

It did take the owner some time to make all the gyros for four of us, but the turnout was so delicious! The homemade hummus is so smooth and tasty. It melts instantly in my mouth. The lamb gyro I got was such a great portion, I wasn't hungry until late night. The amount of ingredients in the gyro besides the lamb, cucumbers, olives, and celeries, makes it incredibly flavorful. Highly recommend!

Nothing felt heavy or over-processed, just clean, nourishing food that actually makes you feel good after eating. What really stood out, though, was the owner's genuine care for customers. He went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying everything and even offered us a taste of his freshly made soup -- which was amazing and such a thoughtful touch. That kind of hospitality is rare and speaks volumes about the heart behind this place. It's so important to support small businesses like this that are clearly built on passion, integrity, and community. Gourmelos is doing it right, and I'll absolutely be back.

    My friend and I went to Cooperage Inn to try out the menu for Restaurant week and I was very…read moresurprised at how well the evening went. Our waitress was wonderful and greeted us and gave us a menu for Restaurant week as well as the regular menu. The dining room was cozy and the decorations at the entrance were beautiful. We started with calamari from the regular menu, as well as chicken pot pie rolls with cranberry sauce and baked clams from the restaurant week menu. Then for my entrée, I got the flat iron steak with gorogonzola and chimichurri sauce, and my friend got the catch of the day which was a mahi-mahi. We both really enjoyed our meals and had a lot of leftovers. I liked the steamed veggies and mashed potatoes that my steak came with and she really enjoyed the fish then when we got to the end, we each got to pick a dessert and we tried the cappuccino mousse chocolate cake, as well as the chocolate ice cream. Then on the back of the receipt, there's a stamp for 10% off to purchase pies at the window outside from their sister location, NoFo Pot Pies. We had a great time here and service was excellent. I am looking forward to our next visit.

I mean seriously the food is so dry is basically a choking hazard at this point. Who in the hell does the hiring at this place? Total B-TEAM everytime I dine here. At this point it's my own fault. Done with this place. The easter brunch sucks too. The calamari was good.
