This was a great experience. The food was excellent. I had a stuffed blue cheese burger RARE. The cheese was in the middle of the burger and it was rare. Char on the outside and red in the middle. Perfect and delicious. The pulled pork sliders were delicious and the coleslaw on the was great. The beef rib quesadillas were excellent. The sweet potato tots were good but I prefer the fries. The service was excellent. They were crowded but the hostess sat us quickly and the waitress was excellent always available when needed. She even anticipated our needs. I'm going back for sure. We had a table outside and it was perfect. read more

I honestly don't understand the hype around Restorations Kitchen & Cocktails. I've given this place several chances, hoping each visit would be better than the last, but unfortunately I've been disappointed every time. The biggest issue is the wait. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the food takes far longer than expected. Takeout orders are routinely 15 minutes or more past the quoted pickup time, which is frustrating when you're planning your day around their estimate. Service has also been inconsistent. The waitstaff often seems disorganized, and communication regarding delays is lacking. I understand restaurants get busy, but after multiple visits, the same problems keep occurring. The food is decent, but not enough to make up for the long waits and repeated service issues. After giving this restaurant several opportunities, I don't see myself return read more

This place for sure deserves 5 stars - while it's a local downtown restaurant/bar, the service is amazing !! We arrived about an hour prior to closing, there were still plenty of people dining. Our server Patrick A+ he was so knowledgeable about the menu - and just seemed really happy, even with it being the end of his shift. All his suggestions were spot on. He made sure to tell us about the restaurants charitable donation program (which I feel makes me want to support this business even more) as it neared closing time - we told Patrick we would hurry up - he told us take our time and not to feel rushed. Ok the food, was so good and the portions were filling. This will for sure be on my rotation read more

My friend and I finished our morning walk and we chose this place for post workout brunch. I like that they have a vegan menu for me to select as it's hard to find a brunch place that have vegan choices. My friend ordered the cucumber mocktail and avocado toast. She later ordered the French toast to go. I ordered the vegan burger and salad. I was annoyed when the server brought out the guac and chips appetizer the same time as entree. She thought I want both at the same time but it was never mentioned to her. She was apologetic and very attentive to our table. I get it was a misunderstanding and I know she meant no harm in it. The food was great. The ambiance was nice. It reminds me of a rustic farm to table kind of restaurant. The rest of the staff were very friendly and I will return again to try other items on the menu. read more

Mixed opinions here. I think I might come back because it wasn't terrible, just really basic. The calamari was great. The sauce on it really made it! My steak was seriously overcooked in my quesadilla so that made it unpleasant . The fries are good And my dad loved his burger. The service was nice. The owner passed by and talked to us about the history and how the donations work which was cool. I wouldn't run here but I also wouldn't write it off completely. read more

Greetings fellow Yelpers, A local eatery and restaurant in Lindenhurst across the street from the LiRR Lindenhurst station. Stopped in for a cocktail to see what this venue is all about quite a cozy and comfortable place. There are some outside seats at the bar along with an outdoor patio. Service at the bar was very good. Give it a try. read more

The food was good and the drinks were nice too. Service was good too. Parking is limited so I had to find a spot on the street. The tables had maps of Long island which was different and made onto the wood. Old fashioned inside. read more

This place has been nothing less than warm, inviting, friendly, and when you're there, no matter where you're seated, you don't feel like you're seated in "the corner by the bathroom door". Every staff member will greet you with a warm smile. They will converse with you, and share with you and not make it feel like forced, uncomfortable conversations. Their flights are always a great choice! I've had their martini and mimosa flights. Both great choices! The food hits the spot, and is filling, and eyes closed, lip smacking good! One of the best parts is they donate to a different, local charity, which makes me appreciate them that much more! They're a great place for tapas and drinks, or a meal, and I recommend them to everyone! They're one of Lindenhurst finest! read more

Came back with mom for lunch. Our server was Mike. What a gem! Management needs to give this young man a raise! He was so patient and kind, checked in a few times to make sure all is well. We both ordered green tea with honey. The tea came in large size clear mugs. Nice touch :) I ordered chicken wings with dry spiced rub (delicious ! Juicy and not greasy) 10/10. My mom orders chicken tacos which she enjoyed. It came with a side of rice and beans. We shared some garlic parm potatoes. I was a little surprised by a lemon flavor so I was thrown off but it was still tasty. I'll come back in the summer and try their outdoor space again. read more

Finally had a chance to try this place, I've been wanting to try for a while! The moment you walk in, it feels like you're in a family home, it's decorated very cute, and looks bigger on the inside than outside. They have these big natural wood tables that are really nice. And they have tables in the back that are supported by whiskey barrels giving you a relaxed bar feel. They also have balcony sitting outside. I'll have have to sit out there once it's warmer! We were sat at one of those natural wood tables. And our server came over to give us menus and ask for drinks. I ordered ginger beer with raspberry and lime juice. My friend got a espresso martini. The ginger beer drunk was really good it was well balanced and pretty. Then we decided on appetizers we were torn between the calamari or the wings. And we were curious about the gnocchi poppers. We finally decided to get the wings with half thai chili sauce and half garlic parm. I was a bit skeptical, because recently the wings I've gotten at other bars sucked. But I was pleasantly surprised. They were crispy, flavorful and not dry. Actually my chicken was a but undercooked. But it was the biggest piece out of all of them. So I think they just have to make sure to cook their chicken more uniformly or pick pieces of the same size. The gnocchi poppers were cute and tasted great they were so interesting they were round gnocchi balls with cheese breaded and fried. It was kind of reminded me of a Mac & cheese popper with more complexity of flavor. Then we ordered our entrees. I couldn't decide between the chicken sandwich or the crab cake sliders. I eventually went with the crab cake slider, and my friends got the chicken sandwich and the chicken quesadilla. The food came relatively quickly. I was happy about how they all looked. The choice of onion rings wasn't on the menu, but our server mentioned onion rings and salad as a side. I was so excited and got the onion rings to go with my sliders. I love the taste but it was really messy. The pretzal buns were too dense to eat with the delicate crab cakes. read more

Wish I could give 10 stars. Happened upon this restaurant after a kids soccer game and was not disappointed. Service was just fantastic with Dominick our server taking care of every little detail which was a lot with 3 little kids and 3 adults. Food was delicious from the calamari, brussel sprouts and cauliflower appetizers to our main course which was just perfect. Haven't salad, burgers Mac and cheese topped with steak, quesidilla , shrimp over salad and chicken fingers. All came out fast and hot. All worth ordering again. Would make the trip from Queens to Lindenhust just to dine here again. The ambiance was beautiful and the whole staff was attentive to the whole room. They also donate a lot to charities which is very sweet. read more

This place is AMAZING. First of all, as I was waiting for my friend, a waiter came over and brought me menus and said "I'm not on shift yet but wanted to give you these to look at while you wait!" I mean, how sweet? Our official waiter, Mike, was a doll. I love that they give back to the community here and they source much of their food locally. That's how you do it, folks. Love that about Restoration. And their menu is fun, creative and with vegan/vegetarian and GF options for all palettes. Plus, if you ask, they have kids menus as well. When I walked through to get to the lovely back patio on a warm summer night I noticed the high chairs. I love when a cool restaurant is also family friendly. If we are eating well, the kids should too. The back patio was really nice too. Umbrellas at each table to cover the sun, lights strung up and small intimate tables. Though the LIRR is across the street, you wouldn't really know it. Everything about this place was A+. Although I dined here with a good friend, next time I'm bringing the family. Parking is easy, there is a muni lot attached to the restaurant. And on a completely unrelated note, the soap in the bathroom was pumpkin pie scented (ha, I love a good smelling soap!) Check out Restoration Kitchen and help them to continue with their awesome mission and even yummier food. read more

Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner. They don't do reservations, but for a party of two we had no issue being sat right away. Love the rustic look of this place, it feels like you're going Upstate for a cool weekend by the lake. Their outdoor seating options are my personal favorite, especially being able to sit along the covered patio. They also occasionally have live music outside that makes a great pairing for any meal or cocktail outing. Staff were friendly and quick to check in on us for anything that we may have needed, even during what seemed like a decently busy night behind the bar. Food was pretty good, I got their namesake burger, which was a bit overcooked, but the flavors were good, especially if you like a little bit of heat on your burger. We also had the chicken bacon avocado ranch quesadilla, which was the superior of the two, and the perfect execution of a classic. Cocktails were fun and interesting, I got the jam it up old fashioned, a sort of PBJ take on an old fashioned. Very tasty, but a bit sweet, but a great one and done in my opinion and a fun way to riff on a classic cocktail. My date got the peach sangria which was super refreshing and fruity for a summer day. Now the real thing that gets this place their fifth star for me is their social causes they stand for. They partner with local charities to give back to the community and really make the house that they have set themselves up in, feel like a home for everyone that comes in. They have a small lot for parking attached, but also plenty of municipal parking (paid and free) nearby, as well as street parking too. Would be glad to help support this place for as long as they keep their doors open. Good food, great drinks, better community. You can't beat that, and because of that, I'll be back soon. read more

We were introduced to Restoration Kitchen when visiting a friend in Long Island. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla ($17) and Restoration Burger ($17). The Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla is made with fried or grilled chicken, tossed in their own buffalo sauce, melted mozzarella cheese drizzled with their own house ranch dressing. Served with a side of sour cream. Delicious! The Restoration burger had fried jalapenos, homemade spicy pickles, sriracha mayo and habanero jack cheese, on top of a juicy patty. We chose sweet potato tots as a side and it was unique to us because we have never had this before. Tasted light and lovely. Our waiter was very friendly, and we love how the restaurant donates all their extra earnings to a chosen charity. The only con is that the food took a while to come (~25min) despite us being one of their first customers. read more

Apologies to the bartenders (especially Tyler) at Restoration Kitchen and Cocktails for this review as I will tell everyone how great your Espresso Martini Flight are!!! Let's jump into it. The flight has a peppermint, pistachio, s'more's, and chocolate cherry espresso martinis. Holy crap. Delicious. Beautifully presented and amazingly crafted. I'm sure the rest of the drinks are good too but these martinis were perfect for a snowy, Saturday morning. We had a the wings, fries (amazing), and whipped cheese board. So tasty. (Did I mention how great the espresso martini flight was?) Ambiance. Rusty feel. Wood tables and wood beams on the ceiling. Cozy. Fun. Delicious. read more

We are frequent flyers at Restoration! We live local and it is by far our favorite place in town. Nicole is THE BEST server we have ever had by a landslide. She is so sweet, communicative, quick with refills, and honest with her opinion of the drinks/menu. We love seeing her when we stop in. Tonight we tried the blackened scallop gnocchi special for dinner and it blew us away. Also the Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink - AMAZING! Be patient, they work with a lot of tables in a small place. But it's always worth the wait! read more

I've come here so many times and love everything they make. I love how rustic it is as well. They just redid some of it and I love how it came out. They redid the bathroom, as shown in the pictures, and the bar, which is behind my husband. They also added four more tables. Which one table goes from an 8 seater to two four seaters. Which I find great, incasd there comes two parties of four. The food is amazing. My husband and I got the fried risotto balls, mozzarella sticks for apps, and I got the restoration wrap and my husband got the Mac melt for dinner. The restoration wrap is Mac and cheese, mozzarella sticks, chicken, and this spicy honey sauce. The Mac melt is Mac and cheese as a grilled cheese. With the Mac melt you can add pulled pork or go the bbq route. Both were DELICIOUS. For drinks I got the lavender lemonade mocktail and my husband got an old fashioned. read more

Highlights: Our server Emily absolutely knocked it out the park. She was so friendly and helpful despise clearly being maybe one out of two severs there at the time. Lowlight: Our order took 40 minutes to come out. Unfortunately the food wasn't worth it. The lack of flavor was disappointing but what we did order came out piping hot which is a plus. There was a lipstick stain on my husband's glass that they served his margarita in which was the low low light for us. The drinks were okay. Overall I don't think I'll visit again. But I do wish all the great tips for Emily! read more

This may be my second time coming here, my first being under the tent during 2020. This time, food was great and service was swift. Ordered the spinach dip for an appetizer and my friends and I were saying how it may have been the best dip we've had. For the main meals we ordered the Peace Love & Veggies, wrap, salads and Chicken Avocado sammy which came with fries or tater tots. I'm usually not ordering desserts but we ordered the Blondie Jar and Cannoli Jar which were so filling and yum! We found out that at this restaurant ,"we donate 100% of our net profits to local charities, foundations and families in need." How amazing is that!! I'll be back indeed as there is so much more I want to order! read more

Emily who was lovely took our lunch order today. The enclosed outdoor seating area is heated and decorated for Xmas. I tryed the guacamole that had bacon and crumbled blue cheese. A nice twist with much flavor. I opted for a glass of red sangria. Although the presentation was beautiful, the lack of alcohol was absent. Don't understand why the restaurants are soo cheap with adding alcohol I also ordered the chicken bacon avocado quesadilla. It was good, not great. A little greasy and I think Restoration can do better. read more

This was our first visit to restoration kitchen. We went on a Sunday afternoon. Kind of close to when brunch ended and had to wait a bit for our food. Our waiter explained that and we told him it was OK so long as we could have some cocktails. The cocktails menu is diverse and offers what I believe would be a little something for everybody. I chose the old-fashioned menu and my wife chose the seasonal menu. Both had at least two of our chosen drinks and will probably get again one day. The food took a bit to get out but was very very tasty. All in all we had a great time and look forward to returning there soon. Just a little later after the brunch is cleared out. read more

The calamari and wings were overcooked and hard to chew. There was no shrimp to taste at all. The blue cheese dressing was like water and tasted sour. When we notified our waiter he said he would tell the manager. No one came to say anything. The picture shows how we left our food. First time ever leaving a restaurant to go find other food. read more

Only gave it 3 stars bc I've been here before it the food was decent . This time tho.... Everything was bad. Friday night and it was a 25 min wait. Absolutely not a problem. We grabbed a drink at the bar. When we sat, our waitress quickly came over and introduced herself. We were trying to order drinks as she was running away. She finally took our order. When she came back we put in our app and dinner. FORTY FIVE MINS later we find her and flag her down to ask where the app is and if she forgot it, it's okay but please cancel. Just send dinner. Kitchen was not backed up bc two tables around us that sat after already got their apps. Her reply was "well. Usually the apps come out first." 10 mins later it all comes out at the same time and our dinner was cold. She obviously forgot. Which I told her was fine and asks her to cancel. So now almost an hour sitting down and we have gross Mac and cheese balls, a cold burger, and bland hot honey chicken sandwich. read more

Finally made it here after bookmarking the restaurant a few years ago. I started with a coconut margarita. You can choose from a bunch of flavors and choose either salt or sugar rim. When we got seated we ordered the chicken bacon avocado quesadilla which was very good. Served with ranch and sour cream to dip. I ordered the restoration burger which had jalapenos on top with habanero cheese. It was very tasty. I love my burgers rare and they actually did not overcook it. My husband had a restoration wrap which had mac and cheese and chicken fingers in it. He loved it! Our waitress, Emily was so sweet and very attentive. I will definitely be back. We loved how they donate to charity. The waitress said they were currently donating to a charity for people with autism. read more

the food was great! i have celiac, so i'm gluten free and the surf and turf wrap (corn tortilla) was delicious. very rarely do i go out and not get sick afterwards, but here i left feeling full but perfectly fine. we went on a Saturday night so it was super busy & we were told a wait of 30 mins which was understandable. we waited and when we sat, we got greeted and served right away, but the food took about 35 minutes to come out. i'm a pretty patient person, so it was fine and the food was good to make up for it lol. i recommend coming on a less busy day though because the bar was very loud and there were some drunk/tipsy people just walking around. i loved the aesthetic of the restaurant though. it's like a home turned into a restaurant-- unique! read more

Came here on a weekday and we were able to get a table on the patio right away. The vibe sitting outside is nice, although a bit loud when the train or loud cars go by. We ordered Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower to start. I liked the cauliflowers, but thought the brussel sprouts were nothing special. For my main entree, I had the Skirt Steak Quesadilla. As you can see from the pictures, it was huge! And it tasted delicious!
