Dancing with flavor, touch of lemon and subtle pepper with a creamy dill sauce that was the perfect sauce for this dish. This great piece of fish sat on a pillowy bed of cauliflower rice that was moist and such a great option vs traditional rice.

I can't believe it has taken me close to 2 years to return. I think I had it in my head that it's far from my father's house in Wantagh (Melville sounds a lot further away than Farmingdale. I really don't know Long Island's geography at all since I do not drive here). My brother suggested we meet up at The Refuge after a cemetery visit in nearby Farmingdale and I immediately said yes, recalling the beautiful interior and robust vegan options. The first time, I came with my husband, so I was eager to see how the rest of my family liked it, especially my father. Last time I was at The Refuge, it was beautifully decked out for the holidays and this time it was no less lovely with early fall decor (not quite Halloween time yet, so maybe it'll look a little different in a few days). I just love the vibe here and after being so used to dining in tiny city establishments (which I love, don't get me wrong), it's refreshing to have space between tables and room to breathe. It's well-appointed, almost making you feel like you're in a really cool barn (I mean this in the best way). Party space that you can rent out is well-hidden in the back. The bar area is also large but so inviting. I hear it's lively on Friday and Saturday nights. We were there on a Sunday afternoon, just after brunch at around 3, so there was plenty of seating available and it was pretty chill although not empty. If you are vegan or GF ask for the separate menu! They really should note it on the regular menu because if you have such restrictions, at first glance you'll think there's nothing here for you. Last time I had the vegan ravioli and meatballs and as much I recall having liked it, I knew I wanted to try something new, so I had the protein-rich sauteed "chicken" served over a bed of quinoa. I know this sounds basic but it's anything but. The chicken cutlets are succulent and delicious (I believe Gardein, but they season and prepare them to perfection) and the quinoa has a rich tomato sauce, as well as artichokes and mushrooms making it utterly delicious. Meaning, I ate the entire thing. There was no avoiding that. It didn't even need salt or any other seasoning. My father is still talking about the Margarita pizza he had, so I know we'll be returning next time I'm in town. My brother and sister-in-law also loved their food. Happiness all-around. Even the iced tea is good (I tried my father's sweetened iced tea and I don't even like iced tea but this is more like an Arnold Palmer!) I had 2 glasses of a decent rose, but someday I'll be trying one of those cocktails or sangria. Now, just a plea for some vegan desserts!

GPS routed me to the other side of the building which was a bunch of offices but I kept driving and found the Refuge around the corner. Had I waited one road to turn Ii would have pulled into their parking lot. My mistake or rather my GPS' mistake. E we were a very large group of people and they were very accommodating. We had several tables set up and actually had another person show up and they quickly added another table for us. Everything was served in waves which kept things flowing and allowed us all to catch up on talking. Appetizers were excellent. The fried calamari especially, these are probably the best I have had as they were not as chewy as most other places. Great job. Entrees came out and we were amazed at the portions and taste of the meals. Excellent dining experience. Have to mention the bathroom area as there are all down a corridor with a small room for each toilet area. Comfortable and private. Overall a great place to dine and socialize.

Pearl Kitchen & Cocktails is a hidden gem and after eating here several times, I can confidently…read moresay it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, and their cocktail menu is absolute top-tier. I usually go with the Lychee Coconut cocktail, which is wonderfully refreshing and smooth. My husband recently enjoyed the Two Sheets to the Wind. We have had their fresh east coast oysters, tuna tartar, the crispy and flavorful Bang Bang Shrimp, and the Prosciutto Flatbread topped with arugula, fig jam, and goat cheese. You also cannot skip out on their "Quebec Famous" poutine, it is completely divine with crispy fries, mozzarella, and savory gravy. If you are looking for an incredible vibe, stellar drinks, and elevated comfort food, this is the place to be. We will definitely be back again soon!

The Shishito Peppers were also good. When it came to the other food, the Mac and Cheese as well as the Short Rib unfortunately just didn't hit the spot. That being said, I would still recommend checking this place out and trying the calamari!

The Alibi was decorated beautifully and there were two really cute Photo Ops by "Platform 9 3/4" and the Wand Shop. Come here for the drinks! The Hufflepuff was bourbon forward and reminded me of an Old Fashioned which further confirmed that is truly my house. It also came with an edible golden snitch. The server pointed it out before I gave them what I thought to be decor. I popped the chocolate golden snitch in my mouth after being directed to take the wrapping off first. We then did butterbeer shots and I can't even begin to tell you how delish they were...dangerously delicious. Food was had and it wasn't anything to write about but I'll try. Queso dip is made in house, which I respect. Loaded potato wontons were a great idea and were probably the best things on the table. You can't go wrong with pretzel nuggets. Chocolate cake is never a bad idea. I ended my visit with a chocolate frog drink. Very similar to an espresso martini. You know how hot they are right now. It came with a an actual chocolate frog which was nice. Finally one of the staff members came over to help us play Bertie Botts and we all picked a jellybean. I got lemon. Some of us got soap and warwax. So fun! It was so good, we are going to try to snag another rez for trivia. Reservations are for 90 minute seatings. You pay $15 for a ticket but you get a souvenir cup with your ticket. Not mad about this because the cup is actually decent and will be used. Their next pop up will be "Slime Time". Slime is not my thing but maybe you'll see me at the other pop ups.

I made a reservation for two on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was pretty busy, but they had our table ready even though we arrived 30 minutes early. Our server was Evelyn, and she was so sweet and she helped us when we were trying to decide between two desserts and three appetizers. We ordered: - Spring Salad (5/5) this tasted so good with the fresh mango, the snap peas, and the carrot ginger dressing. - Faroe Islands Salmon (5/5) I only tasted the rice, and not the salmon itself, but the rice was so good, and I just kept on stealing more from the plate. - Roasted-Half Chicken (4/5) This was my own entrée, and I loved how the chicken was crispy, and I also really liked the garlic mashed potatoes, but the only thing that I did not think worked well with the dish was the swiss chard. I think it would've tasted better with spinach. - Strawberry Cheesecake (4/5) this was surprisingly very light for a cheesecake, we ended up finishing all of it, and the whipped cream was really good. The strawberries were not my favorite, I kind of wish that they were just fresh slices of strawberries, but to each their own. All in all, this was a super solid meal, there's plenty of parking, and the restaurant is quite spacious, and the single bathrooms are also pretty large.

We initially came because we had a taste for oysters and saw them pictured in someone's review. We were told that oysters were a special not always available. Our meal was great nonetheless.

Our server confirmed that they were indeed sister restaurants under the same umbrella. We started with the charred Octopus. It had a unique presentation served with delicious fennel and some citrus fruits. Very well prepared. For entrees we had the sea bass special which was lovely. Also the bone in ribeye was well seasoned and a perfect medium temperature. For dessert, we were thoroughly pleased with the vanilla bean cheesecake and strawberries. My least favorite part of our dining experience was the service. We had two server partners. While both very polite, one was much more attentive than the other. The bussers however were extremely courteous and helpful. Overall, we did enjoy One10 and plan to return over the summer to try some other offerings.
