    Beautiful rice and beans and guacamole and sour cream. All full of amazing taste
    Chris C.

    Everything you get here is extremely delicious and authentic. Absolutely perfect balance of flavors and the cocktails are incredible also. Nice and strong but not overbearing. The steak quesadilla is my go to, it comes with some of the best guacamole you'll ever have. Not to mention the rice and means is phenomenal. I love the fact that this is a family owned and operated business. Everyone is quite friendly and happy to answer any questions. HIGHLY recommended!!!

    I've been coming here since they opened and they just keep getting better and better. They have Mexican, Italian and seafood options to choose from. Also a great place to eat outdoors in the summer as it's right across the street from a beach. The staff is also very friendly and patient.

    Mango fro zen margarita
    Victoria C.

    Very hospitable staff, very friendly enjoyed that. Margaritas were good/strong both frozen and rocks Plenty of food pork chop was massive and very good but be sure to order it medium not well done Hot sauce on the pork chop was awesome please bottle and sell it. Mariachi platter was filling but calamari was dry. Would try a different app next time

    Steak Fajitas, AMAZING!
    Cesar Z.

    My wife and I planned to take our kids to Bayville Adventure park. We were running late and needed a place to take the kids. I'd been dying for some Mexican food and La Cantina Bay came up. I'd seen that one of the things that separates them from the other restaurants in the area was their customer service. The other reviews did not lie. This place was fantastic. From the minute we stepped through the door we felt welcomed. The view from any of the tables is pretty great, we sat window side and had a great view of the water and the park. Right off the bat, my kids also loved it because they offered several flavors of "Jarritos" (fantastic Mexican soda). We had the Nacho appetizers, it was a great choice. The pico de gallo was fresh, the black beans were flavorful, the beef was juicy and the chips were nice and warm. The nachos did have a bit of kick so watch out if you have little ones. While on the topic of kids, they had a pretty good kids menu. My son had the cheeseburger. This thing was huge and I"m pretty sure it was had made, my son demolished it. I had the steak fajitas, absolutely amazing. The steak and onions, peppers came out on a searing hot skillet. It came with a side plate with the refried beans, fresh guac, more pico de gallo and some of the freshest tortillas. My wife the had the steak burrito, this thing was the size of a football. And I stole a bite from my wife, I wished I'd had that as well. If you wanted place to sit down and enjoy an authentic meal, with a great view this is the place. What also made it great was the fact that they catered to kids. They stayed calm before the park and let my wife and I eat in peace. This is definitely a go-to place.

    Combination fajita, steak chicken and shrimp it was huge and delicious
    Sam S.

    Yes they finally have a liquor license, plenty of beers and all tequilas !!! The food is very good almost like homemade the fajitas were gynormous, and delicious, we also tried the shredded pork it was very well flavored and the view of the water with the Mexican music in the background made you feel like you're on vacation

    Lemon lime margs
    Jennifer E.

    Great fajitas!! Delicious margs, and out of this world pork chop! This place has it all. The pasta and sauces are great too. At a new location in Bayville with a punch of flavor and the sweetest staff.

    First time here at Four, and I'm a fan of tasting menus; however, there was much more to be desired…read morefor 300 per person before drinks. Starting off with the weakest part of this review, the service. There was no engagement during the entire course of the dinner from the chefs. Explanations about each dish was minimal and barely audible with the accents. It was like I was having dinner and the kitchen was invisible whereas seating is in a L shaped table that faces the kitchen, so you'd think there would be something. The food was OK. A few dishes were unique, but the majority did not have that wow factor. My favorites were the duck, dry-aged beef, and kanpachi. The A5 Wagyu was a bit dry on the edges and was not tender like other A5's. All in all, I thought this would be better considering being the most expensive restaurant on Long Island. If this was $150 before tax and tip, that would be a much fairer price for the food and experience but at $250 you're competing with some really high-quality restaurants.

    So I struggle with the star rating on this one. The food- the tastes- were excellent but the…read moreexperience leaves a whole lot to be desired. We had a party of 10 specifically so we could have the place to ourselves. This was a group of people that all knew each other, know food and appreciate good wine. The seating is not optimal for conversation. There is an L shaped seating table. A U shape would be MUCH more conducive to group seating. There is a way to overcome this however... the host/chef could have the attention of the group and facilitate the conversation. You are not given a menu at the beginning - they tell you you will receive one at the end. We did but by the end you forget some of the tasting notes you had on each dish. As each dish came out, there was little to no explanation. I was asking questions and the chefs were just not engaging. As a matter of fact, my group spoke afterwards about feeling as if the 2 chefs had had an argument before we entered because they appeared annoyed. With each other, with plating, with answering our questions... The host Jared was quite friendly and polite. He served the group well. Wine was requested and dispensed but again, not one explanation of where the wine came from, why it was chosen, etc. Interestingly we asked for a second bottle of a particular wine and he came back and said we'd been served the last of that bottle "but I brought you another Pinot". No reasoning as to why this was a worthy follow up or a similarly tasting wine. Nothing... With each course, we had to ask what it was. And if I asked what a particular garnish was or the preparation I was given a very evasive response. I've been to many Chef's Tasting Tables and this is obviously a comparison. While the bites were great, there was no Chef's table. The chef's barely spoke. The vessels for presentation were interesting although some were obviously chosen for the drama of the vessel not the function of the bite. Some of the standout dishes were: Dry aged beef; Wagyu; Hamachi and the Key Lime Mousse. I don't even like Key Lime Pie yet this bite was epic. Lastly, without the caviar add on, the pricing came to $490. pp including gratuity.

    Decided to eat here for my anniversary dinner on a Sunday night. Nice atmosphere in a side street…read morejust off the main drag in oyster bay. We opted for the 4 course pre-fixe for $105 which includes two appetizers, entree and dessert. We had oysters, bucatini with clams, cheese board and roasted mushrooms for apps, all good. Branzino and pork chop were up next, also quite tasty. Apple strudel was good tho the banana pudding was skippable. They comped us a champagne toast which was nice. Only ding is very limited wine by the glass menu. Otherwise, a solid choice for a special occasion dinner.

Is it the delicious food? Maybe the sophisticated yet sleek ambiance. I don't know what it is, but they got it and I love it. And I love showing them off to others. On a cold Tuesday night, it was pretty empty. I really hope the summer months are better to them. The table-side bread basket was amazing. We each got to pick which sort of bread we wanted. There was sourdough, focaccia and others. I went with the focaccia and never looked back. Burrata and beets, Brussels sprouts and salmon that was cooked perfectly was enjoyed while the specialty cocktails were sipped. We had all the attention of the staff being the only diners in there. It was such lovely time I'm going to make sure I don't wait to long to go back.

    It was girls night for my wife so I figured I would try Angelina's since my bride raved about it…read more As I walked up I saw they had a $49 price fix on Monday's only. I was greeted and seated right away. I would have eaten at the bar as a single, but there were only two seats. I would suggest the restaurant expand their bar, it was beautiful and decor classy/elegant. After being seated I was given the standard menu...so after a moment I asked if there was price fix menu. They provided a lovely bruschetta with shaved cheese. A few moments later they brought bread with butter but also olive tapenade which was very good. My mom always said if the bread is good the restaurant usually is. I ordered a Cabernet which was a good pour. The fried calamari was average, not overcooked but I found the breading a little intrusive if that makes sense. For the main I ordered the pasta with dried tomatoes, broccoli rabe, and sausage. It was more like a plate of dried tomatoes with a few sausage bits, and the broccoli rabe hat too much stem. The pasta itself was gummy and clumped. A featured dish at a classy Italian restaurant should be well executed. I get it that a Monday night is not a high volume day and maybe not the most experienced staff are in the kitchen. I"ll just say they did not capitalize on an opportunity to convert me to a repeat customer. I'm sure later in the week their patrons have their best best dinning experiences. Even though it was not busy it seemed at was a local favorite. They asked if I wanted tea or coffee (included) I declined, but they brought 3 assorted cookies on a plate. I took one bite. Maybe the Italian version of a fortune cookie. Not a positive. Just to wrap up, It was a lovely spot that reportedly has good food but my first experience was disappointing.
