I started with the tamarind margarita. The tamarind flavor was a bit subtle and the drink was on the sweeter side, but it was pretty good. I also tried the passionfruit mojito, which was a little more tangy and strong. My husband enjoyed the strawberry mojito and tom collins. To eat, I had the burrata avocado toast. It was a great portion size, with two large pieces of toast. However, the flavor was a bit bland. My husband was happy with the chorizo omelette, which was also quite large. The decor is tasteful and they have digital menus on tablets. They also have a nice outdoor seating section. Perfect for date night (or day!)

On a beautiful afternoon, we decided to grab a table on the patio, and it was the perfect choice. The outdoor seating created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and enjoy brunch. The restaurant itself has a modern, stylish aesthetic that feels elevated without being pretentious. From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, welcoming, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without ever making us feel rushed. Now, let's talk about the food. The Tres Leches French Toast completely exceeded my expectations. I've had plenty of French toast over the years, but this one stood out. It was incredibly soft and fluffy with beautifully crisp edges, creating that perfect contrast in texture. The tres leches flavor was rich enough that it genuinely didn't need syrup--a rare compliment for French toast. Every bite was indulgent without feeling overly sweet. Paired with the perfectly cooked apple-smoked bacon and a bowl of fresh fruit, it was one of the better brunch plates I've had in quite some time. I also ordered the strawberry mimosa, which was bright, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It was the perfect companion to brunch. We couldn't leave without trying the Chicken Burrata Sandwich, and I'm so glad we did. The burrata was fresh and creamy, the chicken was juicy, and the spicy sauce added just enough heat to keep every bite interesting without overpowering the sandwich. Then there was the bun--soft, fresh, and sturdy enough to hold everything together. It tied the entire sandwich together beautifully. The fries deserve their own mention. Golden brown, perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--exactly how fries should be. Between the beautiful setting, genuinely attentive service, and food that delivered across the board, 179 Bar & Grill earned every one of these five stars. It's the kind of place that's just as good for a casual brunch as it would be for bringing friends or celebrating a special occasion. I'll absolutely be back--and next time, I'm already planning to explore more of the menu.

We came in on a Saturday and a lot of regulars were chatting up the staff. We got to hear the owner chatting with someone about the ins and outs of gluten free baking, nutrition, and celiac. He knew a lot about all of these and it showed in the quality of the product. We got a dozen cheese breads and I had an egg and cheese sandwich. So good and fresh! The bread was Brazilian style and served to us warm. The sandwich was served on a similar style of bread and it was delicious. We paid $30ish for a dozen pieces of bread, 2 sandwiches, and a dulce de leche roll. Super reasonable! Totally love this place and will come by if passing through again!

It was a very vanilla graham cake with salted honey marscarpone filling and a mocha frosting. It was fabulous! All the flavors went together beautifully. The cake had a beautiful flavor and was nice and moist. The flavor of the mocha frosting was not overpowering and complementary to the rest of the flavors. The salted honey marscarpone filling had a hint of salt and a hint of sweet which was also complimentary. The frosting flower decorations were beautiful and the custom cake topper brought everything together. Plus, she delivered. I will definitely use Alexa Marie's Sweets on Streets again!

Still Delicious is a family owned bakery, they specialize in allergen free baked goods. Even though I don't have any allergies to ingredients typically founds in cookies and bread, I still appreciate that they are available to those who are. It is very small inside, it doesn't appear that they have any seating available. It's more of an order and go type of place. The gentleman working here told me his name was Mark. He was very friendly, and told me about some of the products. The Whoopi Pies looked very tempting. I decided to go with the cookie/brownie combo. It has a proper name, but it's escaping me right now. This is a brownie on the bottom and a cookie on the top. Oh I couldn't wait to dig in! This was just under $6.00. The cookie is soft with chocolate bits, under it is more chocolate goodness with the brownie layer! Yum! I sat in my car and enjoyed each bite! The chocolate wasn't melty or gooey, this was still very fresh, soft and to me pretty unique. I would love to try more from Still Delicious! If you're in the area please stop by and try something delicious from Still Delicious!

All of this, yet the food was still quite good despite all the misfortunes and mis-steps. I don't even know how to rate them ... 3.5 seems right, so do I go 4 stars for the solid flavors, or do l go with 3 because the pizza needed a third ingredient for complexity and a lot less grease, the white bean soup was made with red kidney beans, and the meatballs were in an ounce of this sauce... But that short rib pie could be something really special, I added a balsamic drizzle, even great with some horseradish. We definitely want to explore the menu more, am I right?

I had a couple of slices that were nice and thin, crispy and very flavorful. Dean, who is making the pies and doing the cooking, busy as he is, is one of the friendliest guys you will meet in a Pizza place! He says hello, welcomes you, and makes sure you know something about his offerings. Sure, its a small place and sometimes they are very busy and do not have all the time in the world to chat, but ask any question and Dean is happy to help! Maria is soft-spoken and kind, and the food is always top notch. Service can be slow at the counter, they have been understaffed a few times while I was there, just Dean and Maria. But the food is worth the wait. On another night, eight of us ate in the dining room, which is very attractive, and the food was excellent! We will be going back in a group again - especially after the Cruise Nights at East Wind in Wading River. Pete G.
