As a native Breezy Pointer, I've been coming to Kennedy's for as long as I can remember--and it's…read morestill one of those places that never loses its charm. Set right along Jamaica Bay, Kennedy's nails that perfect balance between upscale and relaxed. The ambiance feels polished without being stuffy--white tablecloths, nautical touches, and sweeping waterfront views that make it just as good for a casual dinner as it is for a special occasion. The menu is a standout, especially if you're into seafood, cabernet braised beef short ribs, and expertly prepared dry-aged chops. And of course, a perfectly poured Guinness always hits different when you're by the water. One of my favorite things about Kennedy's is the atmosphere beyond the food. They frequently host live music--especially on Friday and Saturday nights--which adds a lively, local energy without overwhelming the space. What really makes Kennedy's special, though, is its deep-rooted history. Dating back to 1910--when the original building was ferried over from Coney Island--it has weathered everything from a nearby naval explosion in 1919 to the devastation of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. After a major renovation, it reopened in 2014, blending its rich past with a modern, resilient design. Kennedy's isn't just a restaurant--it's a Breezy Point institution.

Back in the great town of Breezy point since a few years removed, before Hurricane Sandy and after…read moreI sold my Harley. Perhaps that's a sign of the times as I am always looking for hidden messages and I like to combine them with metaphors - I enjoy the search. Not in an out with the old and in with the new way, more of a this happened this way for a reason kind of way. Good or bad - there is typically a lesson to be had if we are able to see it. Its a big day for the my girlfriend whom I am actively working on becoming my doomer girlfriend. She always upbeat and positive and I just don't understand it, (anthrax, nukes, job reports, crime) but I respect it tremendously. Well, she just landed a new position and she is moving on in other aspects of her life, she has quickly come roaring back into color before my very eyes. The hidden message here is one of building a new home after an environmental storm at Breezy, too build a new life after a life of weathering personal storms and challenges, awaiting the still and the calm - being prepared for another assault all while building something unbreakable. And its certainly not just her, its in large part, me too. Lets get on to the food. A simple concept - fresh fish and chops prepared with love and respect for the fine folks that populate the surroundings of the bay. I do not consider Time Square or Rockefeller prime real estate, I do however consider this charming little spot where you can hear the children play in the dunes, between the neighbors prime plus. The Specials were beautifully stated by our waiter - I wanted to hear him twice and he did. Not confusing and not pretentious, prices and coruscation counts given up front, no guessing required - no jacket required either as I sported my Star Spangled shorts. Linguine flavored with chives, parsley extra garlic all balanced in a buttery white wine clam sauce. Light and flavorful, I tasted each shrimp, clam and mussel individually and completely. But before that three outstanding appetizers all with amazing sauces and dressings appeared. Lightly candied walnuts, fresh cranberries upon warm little delicate pockets of goat cheese with chilled green and robust light crisp leaves. My lady's Swordfish was top quality cooked to absolute perfection, a medium cook temp - light and flakey which reminds me of the Crab Cake as I wander back and forth from appetizer to entrees. I could smell the real crab as it was set upon the table - like the ones I caught here on the docks with killies (bait fish) in 1985. That salty and beautiful briny subtle kiss of the ocean. Shall I keep going? I can and would but I shall take no further time from you fine folks, my dear readers - HAPPY Fourth of July to you All!! HAPPY Independence Day!! God Bless America!!

I truly love Salty Dog and have always enjoyed dining in, which is why this review is so…read moredisappointing for me to write. Unfortunately, my recent delivery experiences have been consistently below the standard I've come to expect. The first time, my Asian Chicken Salad arrived without the dressing. Another order my food arrived without the grilled chicken and the rest of the food cold. This latest order was the worst--I found a long hair in my salad. This isn't an inexpensive meal. As shown on my receipt, the salad alone was nearly $22, and my order totaled over $57. At those prices, I expect much better quality control, especially when it comes to food safety. I've never had an issue when eating at the restaurant itself, so I hope this review brings awareness to the quality of delivery orders as well. Customers ordering takeout deserve the same care and attention as those dining in. I genuinely hope management addresses these recurring issues because I'd love to continue supporting a restaurant I've always enjoyed.

To be fair, the staff were great, love the ambiance especially at the bar with the signs and especially the pictures of old Coney Island. Our beers were especially refreshing, nice and chilled. But the disappointment came from the food we ordered. Waffle fries and fish n chips. Sad to say that for what was paid, the quality was not good at all. The fish and chips and the waffle fries had been extremely overcooked and the taste of old vegetable oil was present. Biting into the fish there was more of old grease than fish flavor. Chips and fries are supposed to be crispy, not crunchy. First time I ever experienced this here. For now the rating stays and I would only recommend the drinks at the bar but not the food until I can see better quality and improvement when I get to visit again. Sorry guys, gotta do better!
