The place was set up beautifully and the private room was cozy. They selected a set menu which comprised of a choice of appetizer, a salad, a main course along with desserts, wow! The Mediterranean salad that I had, tasted fresh and it was nicely presented. The slider appetizer was a bit dry for my taste. However the lobster cream pasta main dish more than made up for it. The tiramisu finale was very nice. So all in all I think that the execution of the meal combined with an attentive and friendly staff makes it a success. I would definitely return here when visiting Garden City!

Had a gift card & was excited to try this place out...who doesn't love tacos? Our server, Gerardo,…read morewas friendly but however- no checking on us after we got our food since he was busy with other tables and never apologized for "his mistake" putting in the wrong taco type (6 baja fish instead of 6 pork belly that I ordered- second round) & made it seem like it was my fault because he couldn't find my order slip in the trash. Anyway, for the tacos: we got the mojo pork carnitas, pork belly, sesame ribeye, roasted duck, crispy shrimp & baja fish. We also got the duck birria quesadilla, plantains, korean bbq ribeye rice bowl & ahi tuna crispy rice bowl, a side of esquites (street corn off cob) & the seasonal fruit (honeydew) with tajin. All the food came out together so it took a long while. They were obviously short staffed. The pork belly & pork carnitas tacos were our faves- both were flavorful & the pork belly skin was crispy. The shrimp & fish tacos were perfectly fried. The ribeye & roasted duck taco meat were dry. The duck birria quesadilla was really good even tho the broth was a little bland. Corn was spicy yet tasty, we enjoyed the sweet fried plantains too. The rice bowls were disappointing- way too much sauce in the ahi tuna bowl, which made everything very salty & the crispy rice became soggy, and the Korean bbq ribeye was dry & tough- it's basically just a bibimbap. I don't recommend getting rice bowls at a taco place lol. The worst thing was the seasonal fruit with tajin that my daughter ordered. The honeydew was not riped nor sweet but rather flavorless & tasted sour with the tajin & lime juice- disgusting :x

The Rose Room, located in the Garden City Hotel, is a cut above the rest. Everything, from the…read morebeautifully decorated dining room to the attentive wait staff, made me feel incredibly pleased. Located in the heart of Garden City, the Rose Room is easily accessible and offers ample parking. Like so many years past, my colleagues and I are always on the hunt for that special place and experience that will elevate our holiday dinner outing. I was so pleased that The Rose Room was selected. As mentioned, the elegance and ambiance of the restaurant are pitch-perfect. The hostess, wait staff, and management all delivered top-notch service. The food was spectacular. I especially enjoyed the bacon maple stripe. My colleagues and I devoured them in seconds. I can't say enough good things about The Rose Room. That said, I am looking forward to my next visit. I would recommend adding The Rose Room to this holiday's restaurant rotation.

It's as described by others... if you're staying on site, it's worth checking out but I wouldn't make a special trip for it. We were starving and glad to see some apps on the menu, however, nothing super appealing after you've had a few drinks. We got the shrimp cocktail (3 pieces) and a small charcuterie board. Together this was over $50 before tip and overpriced. I think options are limited because they don't have a kitchen nearby.

The restaurant has an upscale, sophisticated feel while still being warm and inviting. It's aesthetically pleasing, beautifully maintained, and fastidiously clean, which I really appreciated. The ambiance, service, and food all matched the caliber of the space. We started with the House Bread, which was warm, buttery, soft, and absolutely delicious. Definitely one of those "I should stop eating this so I have room for dinner" situations . We also shared the Fritto Misto with calamari, pesce, artichoke, hot peppers, lemon, and fra diavolo. I even found some nice chunks of fried salmon mixed in. Everything was lightly fried rather than heavily battered or greasy, but still packed with flavor. The fra diavolo on the side complemented it perfectly. For our entrées, we both ordered the $58 Spaghetti with Maine lobster, pecorino, fra diavolo, and basil. SO GOOD! The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce had a nice little kick, and there was a generous amount of lobster throughout. I would absolutely order it again. I had the Espresso Martini, which was delicious, and my partner had the lemonade. His only critique was that it was a little tart, but I actually appreciated that. To me, it tasted freshly squeezed rather than overly sweet, watered down, or packed with sugar. Overall, we had no complaints. The Farm Italy gave us a beautiful anniversary dinner from beginning to end. Upscale atmosphere, immaculate space, great service, delicious food, and portions that felt worth it. We left happy and already talking about going back to try more of the menu. Definitely a 5-star experience for us! #foodtiktok #food #dinner #fyp #review @The Farm Italy Restaurant

Ordered the farmitaly lemonade. A sweet cocktail of vodka, lemon and basil. Shared apps of the house bread (bread was warm and butter olive oil was amazing), artichoke hearts and meatballs. I wanted the rigatoni with fennel sausage and spinach but it came in a pomodoro sauce but I don't like tomatoes so instead I ordered the primavera and added the sausage which ended up being the perfect compromise! We ended with the olive oil cake and the flourless chocolate tarte. Not a chocolate fan so didn't try it but the rest in my table enjoyed it. The olive oil cake was the highlight of the night (along with the house bread). I don't know if it's because I love bread but this dessert was fluffy, moist, not too sweet, the perfect combination of lemon, meringue and honey. Place was packed so make a resy!

Started off with the empanadas and ceviche. Both were excellent and super flavorful. For entrees, we had the pollo relleno, steak ala Jalisco, el sol signature steak and the fajitas mixtas. Pollo relleno was a unique dish with great sauce. The steak ala Jalisco was fine, but the el signature steak definitely stood out with its marinade. All of their meals are great value for the price but the stand out was the fajitas. The mixtas offers steak, chicken and shrimp. We all ordered these on our 2nd visit. For me, the steak and shrimp were the best. We finished the meal with churros and tres leches. While it was delicious, $19 for the dish was as a bit high. Overall, this place is one of our new favorites. My fiancée had left his credit card and we appreciated their honesty about it. Will be back soon to try some of their weekly specials.

I recently dined at Small Batch (Tom Colicchio's restaurant), located inside the Roosevelt Field…read moreMall in Garden City. The restaurant has a beautiful, bright, modern atmosphere that feels much more upscale than its surroundings. Based on other reviews, the standout dishes seemed to be the grilled Spanish octopus and the SB Smash Burger, so I ordered both. Unfortunately, the execution fell short in several areas. The East Coast oysters arrived with mignonette but without horseradish or oyster forks--small details, but noticeable oversights. The oysters, octopus, and burger were all tasty, but the presentation of octopus and burger was surprisingly sloppy, as though little attention had been paid when the dishes left the kitchen. The bar also was understaffed. A single bartender was serving both the bar and the entire dining room, which led to waits for drinks. My bartender was friendly, attentive, and worked hard, but one person simply wasn't enough. I finished with the Key Lime Custard, which had what appeared to be a layer of shredded cereal on the bottom. I wasn't sure what it was. The dessert itself was enjoyable, though I think a base of toasted sliced almonds with a few fried blueberries on top of it would have added better texture and complemented the flavors more effectively. One nice perk is the validated valet parking, for a reduced fee, which makes arriving and leaving especially convenient given the mall location. The whiskey selection could also be improved by adding a few more interesting, off-the-beaten-path single malts or blends. Overall, the kitchen shows promise! And perhaps I came on an off night. With better attention to presentation, appropriate bar staffing, and a more adventurous choice of spirits, Small Batch could deliver an experience that better matches its reputation.
