The wings were awful... they're the already cooked blobs of breading and fat that places without deep fryers sell. Complete garbage, they should be embarrassed serving this type of food.

The Blarney Castle re-opened about a month ago under new owners and a new chef. So ignore all…read moreprevious reviews from that time. The place has been re-done but the "historic" fish remains. Sound suppressors have been installed and they help temper the noise. The limited wine list is well priced but unfortunately they were out of one of the two chardonnays (Bonanza) on the list. I ordered the other Chardonnay which was double the cost of the Bonanza (but still fairly priced for the quality) and it did not come out for 15 minutes. I alerted the waitress who stated that she was getting ice for it. The wine finally came with two chilled wine glasses (wrong) and it was warm. Strike two on the wine. Someone is not checking inventory. We got there as it opened at five. No excuse for not having a listed wine and then serving a warm $65 dollar bottle. Each plate of food was delivered in a staggered delivery about five to ten minutes apart. Food should come out at the same time to all customers. That's probably on the chef with the mercurial temperament. That being said; the food was very good. The chef can really cook but get there soon because he might not be there long. Four televisions the dining room is unnecessary and very distracting. Turn them off during service. I plan on going back for the good food but will bring my own wine. I got three different answers when I asked about a corkage fee; so I don't know what the corkage fee is. The owners are new and need time to adjust to the place. I see the place improving as the kinks are worked out.

We love The Bayhouse! The whole exotic thing of being allowed into the private enclave is the…read morereason alone to give it 5 stars! Last time we went there was a Labor Day which also happened to be an end of a perfect LD Weekend weather wise. The workers were a little exhausted and they ran out of some things. I still think that The Bayhouse has the best wings around! Sitting outside, watching the boats pass by and having no place to rush to really felt great! A special note; We always have to ask for ice with sparkling wines, Bill Murray style. The Boathouse offers you their Prosecco on ice right away! And it's on tap!

So I decided yesterday around 4:30 that it was too beautiful to stay home and cook. 75 degrees…read moresunny and no humidity. So I wanted to eat in a place with a scenic outdoor dining experience. Bay House popped to mind so I called and sure enough they had outdoor seating 10 minutes later I'm being seated at a great table with a full view of the bay and Manhattan. Wow just perfect!! Mary Kate is my waitress and I order sparkling water. But then also ask for a glass of cab! Which is delicious. I'm seated right at the end of the deck so everyone climbing up the stairs greets me so nicely. Foe dinner I decide on chicken francese with mixed vegetables and a salad with oil and vinegar. It all comes so quickly and everything is delicious. The chicken is cooked to perfection and is wonderfully moist. The veggies again are so tasty. Mary Kate comes over a few times to check how things are. Then she tells me it's her first day and I'm her second table! Wonderful job!! Here's a nice tip!! I'll be back soon!

Boardwalk Beer Garden is definitely a great place to get the best drinks and eats on Brighton Beach…read moreIt's right on the boardwalk and you get the best beach views on a summer day.

I would definitely recommend this restaurant

Went to that place since they opened never complained!!! Used to love this place , always…read moresaluted their manager was nice guy that was only first impression. Even tho hookah cost more than 60$ after taxes and servi e charge! All started because of my expensive jacket they burned with charcoal, came to my table to order some food, all of a sudden fight broke up on another table, they started fighting, knocked over both our hookah damaged all 4 jackets. Manager didin't help but start yelling and opened coat check room right away, owner came thru asking what happend, after hearing how much those jackets cost asked us to leave and call cops if you want. We didin't even start our meal or our bottle Glenfiddich 18, but they still do demand their bill money. Not going to happen. And will never visit that place again. And will make sure non of my friends there either. End of story, 4 burned jacket, they still want us to pay the bill for the table.

We ordered out drinks first and I asked for the Mai Tai to please swap rum for tequila . He said he would ask. The cones back with some S.... and really fake story . I asked him is your bartender new? Over whelmed that he can't do it? And he stumbled with his excuse i asked to speak to the manager . When manager came and gave the excuse with to many people arrived at same time WHICH was a lie since I looked right over his shoulder and game him the bs Look. He then said we ordered a specified amount of things for the drinks and alcohol we have in hand . I said okay forget it . Later on he said here you go we made one for you and it's free of charge realized they were not doing things how they should have been. We ordered the food and that started to come. The burger was highly recommended. Bronzino was really good ( flavors / doneness/ the look and just perfect) The lobster escargot was great as well perfect amount of garlic and nice chunks of lobster as well. The toast were cheap and just wonder bread like . And I like to dip my bread . And the burger was the biggest waste of 26$ for a burger . The burg e bun was triple the size of the burger itself.they ask you how would you want your burger cooked but the burger is too thin to be cooked to anything but well done. I didn't order a bun I ordered a burger . And a pimple piece of lettuce, 4 pickles , cheese ans suace. I wouldn't come back there again . Maybe just drinks

However, good food! The harvest salad with delicious + big portions, the fish and chips were delicious, the salmon was a small portion but cooked well, the steak frites were good but undercooked in our opinion but the potato dumplings were a HIT!

It was loud in the beginning , making it hard to converse or hear at the table, as speakers throughout the establishment were loudly transmitting the event with microphones that was happening in the front. Once that ended, we definitely enjoyed dinner more. Biggest highlights of the evening were drinks and service. Every drink we got was well balanced, flavorful and delicious, so kudos to the bartender! Our waiter and busboys were very attentive, friendly, and provided top notch service from start to finish. Dishes came out in timely manner and order, with restaurant service etiquette followed to a T. Food was good overall, fresh and well presented. Portion sizes are decent, everything priced according to location, quality and ambiance. Octopus was tender but didn't have any flavor and was outshined by delicious pesto & burrata in the salad, which was unfortunate as I was looking forward for it to be the start of the dish. Tartar could use more sauce (or salt) to tie all layers together. Bone marrow was delicious, definitely try a side of beef- it melts in the mouth and is a great addition. Duck vareniki was a bit small portion, with good filling/dough ration and the sauce was heavenly. Pizza crust was good but bland toppings made it uneventful. Steak and fish were cooked and seasoned to perfection, side salads were well seasoned and good pairings for protein. Desserts satisfied our sweet tooth after delicious dinner. Definitely will come back.

I liked the lighting as well as the live music. However the live music was so loud that I couldn't have a conversation across the long table that we had. The food was quite mediocre. The presentation of the dishes was amazing. Each dish was beautifully presented, from the house bread we had to the entree, the salmon risotto that we had. Especially, with the lighting, photos come out amazing. However, once I had a bite of the food, it was disappointing as the taste did not match the looks. The tartare was bland. The mushroom soup was creamy but bland. The salmon risotto was bland as well. I grew tired looking at the beautiful dishes then being disappointed by the food. The menu items were innovative but needs to be tasted.
