As a person who drinks non alcoholic drink options I was not pleased with the selection at the…read moreTipsy Barrel. I didn't have the food, if I do eat here I would consider updating my review. It's possible I'll be a somewhat regular attendee here since my friend has been hired to host karaoke here on Saturday nights, go to Brian's Karaoke on Saturday nights if you're reading this. The bartender was nice, the people in the bar were pretty friendly, it is a nice little hang out spot. I saddled up to the bar and asked if they had any non alcoholic beers, they did not. They had no orange juice, they had no cranberry juice so there went my standards of cranberry juice and seltzer, or orange juice and seltzer. Eventually I asked for red bull, no energy drinks either. I had a diet coke and later on a Shirley temple with no cherries :( So I like it here but for those of us that abstain from alcohol for whatever reason, can we have more drink choices please!

I gave this restaurant 1 star only because it is dog-friendly…read more Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. We were the only customers in the restaurant on a Saturday night, yet it took over 1 hour and 15 minutes to receive our food. Even then, at the 45-minute mark, only about 40% of our order arrived. For a party of six, our order was not particularly complicated: two burritos, two taco meals, a chicken sandwich, and guacamole with chips. The remainder of the order did not arrive until the 1.5-hour mark. To make matters worse, my son's meal was incorrect when it finally came out, adding even more delay and frustration to an already lengthy wait. Throughout the wait, there were no drink refills, no updates on our order, and little attention from the staff. We also received no napkins or serving utensils with our food and had to ask for basic items that should have been provided from the start. The dining experience itself lacked any atmosphere. There was no music playing and no television on, which only made the long wait feel even longer and more uncomfortable. As for the food, it was lackluster and underwhelming. Tortilla chips and fries were burned. Bun for chicken sandwich was not warmed. The dishes were very basic, with little presentation or attention to detail, and they certainly did not justify the extended wait. What made the experience especially confusing was that this all happened while we were the only customers in the restaurant on a Saturday night. A simple order, an empty dining room, no communication, no refills, an incorrect meal, and a 90-minute wait just didn't make sense. The only positive aspect was that the restaurant is dog-friendly. Otherwise, this was one of the most frustrating and puzzling dining experiences we've had in a long time.

The place aesthetically is so nice and inviting. The…read morepretzel appetizer didn't seem baked long enough, not the normal golden brown color. The calamari was good and flavorful. 2 people in my party had burgers and said they were delicious. Myself and another in my party had shrimp tacos. The tacos were not that tasty , and the shrimp was served whole , not chopped in pieces like most shrimp tacos. The beer selection is just ok for a beer garden. Parking is a little difficult, you have to park in the shopping center and like typical shopping center parking lots, everyone is in a rush. Proceed with caution! The service was the best part of dining here, Dan was exceptional, hence 1 extra star. It's just not worth the prices they charge.

My friend's fish and chips had an off smell and spongy texture. My beef short rib was like thick cuts of stew meat. The beer selection was limited and mediocre at best. The only saving grace was the server. She was pleasant. This is a one and done for me. It doesn't compare to any other beer garden or Pub. This place needs restructuring and staff guidance. The kitchen needs quality control.

The restaurant is a very modern Italian place with slightly dimmed lights and overall no complaints…read morein that regard. Once we sat down, we asked to switch tables, and they were very accommodating. To start, we ordered the house bread, which was surprisingly one of the best dishes served; the clams; and the tagliolini. The baked clams and house bread are musts in my opinion. I got the chicken parmesan and the pappardelle bolognese for dinner, and they absolutely nailed these dishes. An outstanding job on the chicken parmesan; even the most basic of dishes here are surprising. Then for dessert we ordered the olive oil cake, which came with this frothy cream on top, which was definitely worth saving room for. My only complaint about my experience would be that during one part of the night the waiter did not come to our table for a good 25 minutes, and I had to wave down a different waiter since we were waiting to put in our dinner orders. Overall, though, a wonderful experience and definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Long Island.

It was a Friday night and every table was full! If you didn't have a reservation, unfortunately the wait was over 1.5 hours long! The ambiance was still beautiful. Staff was very accommodating. We were seated near the outdoor section and had a nice view of the fire pit. For starters, we shared the flavorful grilled octopus with potato, sun-dried peppers, & olives. The Fritto Misto was a bit salty but the salmon bite I tasted was perfect!! It paired well with our arugula salad. Our entrees were cooked to perfection! Both hubbies had the Ribeye, my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed her spaghetti with lobster and she said it matched the quality in Italy! I enjoyed my jumbo shrimp and spinach meal. Our desert and cocktails were 10/10!

The place is under new ownership, they've cleaned…read moreit up, made some renovations, expanded the menu, and now they're offering Sunday brunch starting at 9AM. I came specifically to try the brunch menu and honestly had a great experience from start to finish. The Traditional Irish Breakfast immediately brought me back to being in Ireland. It comes with eggs, Irish bangers, rasher, black and white pudding, breakfast potatoes, toast, and Batchelors baked beans -- which was a great authentic touch. The Guinness Gravy Biscuits were fantastic. The biscuits were soft and pillowy, and the sausage Guinness gravy was rich and creamy. The Whiskey Reds Breakfast Sandwich was another standout. The combination of fried egg, Irish cheddar, bacon, rasher, pub sauce, and the soft brioche bun worked really well together. The Breakfast Burger might have been one of the best breakfast burgers I've had. Great flavor from the pub burger itself, and the egg, bacon, Irish cheddar, and whiskey aioli took it to another level. The Corned Beef Hash & Eggs was probably one of my favorite dishes of the entire meal. This is not canned corned beef hash. It's fresh cubed corned beef with crispy potatoes, peppers, onions, and eggs. Really fresh, really flavorful, and easily one of the better corned beef hashes I've had. Even the Pub Pancakes were excellent. Soft, fluffy buttermilk pancakes served with Irish butter and syrup. The Irish butter added so much flavor that I honestly didn't even need the syrup. Overall, this was a really strong brunch experience. The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff was welcoming, and the food exceeded my expectations. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of the regular menu as well. If you're looking for a Sunday brunch spot in East Meadow, Whiskey Reds is absolutely worth checking out.

An entire hour for food that was nothing special and the smallest portions I've ever seen. The staff was nice but seemed unprepared and unsure and no one knew the specials, no one could answer a single question, and everything moved at the speed of a snail!!! on!!! sedatives!!! And honestly, the food is just not good. Nothing stood out, nothing worth waiting an hour for, and definitely not worth the price. And the thing is... if they were busy, I'd honestly be like "okay, fine, it happens." But I was literally 1/3 tables in the whole place. Hard to give any grace when it's that empty and still this bad!!! When it's finally Friday and you're excited for dinner out... this ain't it!!! No wonder OpenTable offered me 1000 points to come here lol. Update: We were so over it that we asked for the dessert (included with the prix fixe) to go. Ended up eating it at home in sweats and that was actually the best part of the whole night. The s'mores cookie skillet wasn't bad. So yeah... 2 stars instead of 1 and both of those stars belong to the cookie!!!

Dining at Plori was Pure Pleasure . Same Plori, New Glory!…read more Plori has long been one of my favorite Mediterranean gems on Long Island. But after spending some time as a Florida snowbird, I hadn't visited in quite a while. I'd heard the buzz -- new staff, new chef ‍, new partner/manager, refreshed decor -- and wasn't sure what to expect. Change can be unsettling, but the recent reviews intrigued me. So I went back... with hope, curiosity, and a healthy appetite. Our party of five was seated immediately by a kind, reserved host named Fonda (no, not Jane or Henry ). I shared my past fondness for Plori with him, and he assured us we were in for something special. And we were. The decor now feels brighter and more elegant, lighter color tones, sculpted drop ceilings -- a subtle but classy update. The service? Gracious and warm. The food? Next-level. Fonda and I even bonded over restaurant stories, the kind of personal connection that makes you feel you're part of something special. He truly wanted us to see how Plori has evolved -- and wow, has it. We started with warm, crusty rustic bread paired with a velvety hummus spread -- the perfect Mediterranean welcome. Then came the Plori Chips: thin-sliced zucchini and eggplant , lightly fried and seasoned -- golden, crisp, and addictive. Next up, grilled octopus -- tender with a charred kiss of smoke , served over a vibrant bed of roasted peppers , onions , and fava bean purée, topped with a drizzle of sweet balsamic. Every bite was a flavor bomb . The Horiatiki Salad was a garden of freshness -- juicy tomatoes , crunchy cucumbers , briny olives , green peppers , and thick slabs of creamy feta , all sprinkled with Mediterranean herbs and bathed in luscious EVOO. Simple, bright, perfect. Then came the entrées and they were spectacular. Plori's special signature lobster dish was the star of the night. Bathed in a creamy tomato -feta sauce and flecked with parsley , it was rich, tangy, and indulgent -- so good, three of us ordered it since no one was willing to share! The Alaskan halibut was a stunner: thick, pan-seared to perfection, resting on a silky vegetable risotto with a savory lobster jus. The seafood flavors danced on the palate like a symphony -- a true standout. Also worth mentioning: the Lavraki (Mediterranean sea bass) -- simply grilled, flaky and sweet, the essence of the Aegean Sea on a plate . But the real showstopper? Dessert.! And not just any dessert... Plori now boasts desserts by legendary French pastry chef François Payard (yes, that Payard -- formerly of Le Bernardin and Daniel!). His creations are absolute masterpieces. The chocolate mousse was pure bliss -- dense, rich, and dangerously addictive. The fig cake was divine: chewy, fragrant figs layered with fresh fig jam and dusted with powdered sugar. And the pièce de résistance? A whimsical take on strawberry shortcake , layered with a crisp, straw-textured pastry nest . Creamy, crunchy, and insanely good. Off-the-hook delicious . Service throughout was smooth and attentive -- Mathew, our server, was a total pro. Friendly, efficient, and spot-on with recommendations. So, if you've made it this far, let me say this: Go back to Plori. Better yet, run. It's not just as good as you remember -- it's better. Don't forget to scroll through the pics -- they'll make you hungry all over again. Enjoy!

Then we were seated in the back corner by the kitchen. What followed was a parade of waitstaff bumping into me as they came and went, and an uncomfortable chair that made the meal harder to enjoy than it should have been. Location matters, and this one was a miss. The menu is focused -- if you're a steak purist, you'll appreciate the no-nonsense approach. If you're not, you may find yourself with limited options. The French onion soup to start was disappointing: overly salty and not the warm, rich opener a steakhouse should nail. Our table had mixed results with the mains too -- the ribs came out dry, and the skirt steak was so heavily marinated that the meat itself got lost entirely. That said, my ribeye was the bright spot of the evening -- cooked exactly as requested with a beautiful crust. When they get it right, they really get it right. Our server was attentive and genuinely great throughout, which kept the experience from falling further. A place with this much word of mouth should be more consistent. I wanted to love it. Maybe I just need a better table.
