Western omelette side of sausage
Emily B.

I travel for work and when in Garden City, I always try and stop at Carle Place diner for breakfast. Service is fantastic and the food is delicious.

Not your regular Croque Madame/Monsieur

Typical Metro area diner. Food was decent - service was a bit questionable, but again I get the NY appeal when it comes to delivering customer service with a notch of attitude... ambiance was ok... food can be presented better - times are changing and people appreciate a plate that calls attention.

One of us was craving a breakfast diner experience, but we wanted to try somewhere new--someplace we had never been before. So, we headed toward the town of Garden City, and soon enough, we spotted a cozy spot on a corner: Carle Place Diner. From the moment we arrived, it felt inviting. The diner's art-deco style gave it a nostalgic yet fresh vibe, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a satisfying meal. The menu was diverse, offering classic breakfast dishes, sandwiches, hearty entrees, and an array of tempting desserts and cocktails. That combination of breakfast with a side dessert and a splash of cocktails was exactly what we were craving. Well not all in one visit. Our service was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I ordered the egg white spinach omelet, and it was cooked to perfection. Overall, it was a delightful new find, and we left with a positive dining experien

Upon entering I love the old school diner vibe. The service was great. There only issue is attention to details in the kitchen. Not sure where the disconnect was but the orders were not prepared to our request. Instead of sunny up they were over. CBH was under instead of we. Home fries were called instead of hot. Little things like this matter. The banana French toast was good.

A tasty American Cheese Omelette with tasty well done potatoes.

Most Long Island Diners are pretty much the same... with the same menu, so I like to rate these establishments based on the team working and prompt service. The Carle Place diner seems to have mastered both these items while also serving well prepared, tasty food. I have been coming to this diner since I was a teen. New owners and remodeling but the same view. The diner is big and bright and I was greeted with a hello and smile. I was there as part of a part of two so we had a nice table where we could sit, speak and catchup up. Our waitress greeted us moments after we walked in offered suggestions. Great tasty egg omelette and tasty hash browns. Very easy and very good. I will have to make this shop a more frequently visited spot and and I'm looking forward to some more enjoyable meals. KUDOs to the team at the Carle Place Diner

Very nice. Tea was super hot. Fantastic apple juice and wonderful unsweetened ice tea. Ordered a cheeseburger deluxe it was good burger. Onions rings and French fries were great. Lettuce tomatoes fresh and crisp. Cole slaw was perfect.

Buffalo Chicken Specialty Wrap
Kristin W.

Sat down at a table right away. Wasn't too busy which was nice for dinner. It was quiet in there. Waters and menus were handed out right away. Waiter was so sweet and kept coming over refilling water. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. They did put tomato's in my wrap when I asked them not to. Fries were so good and not greasy at all. It was delicious! Food came out quick and was hot! Everything was fresh. I would go back again!

High end diner . Nice ambiance. Friendly service. Enjoyed our desserts. Still has juke boxes at tables. Plenty of perking and convenient location.

There is a particular kind of restaurant that understands its job is not to dazzle you into silence…read morebut to make conversation easier. The Shed, on Merrick Avenue, is that kind of place. The dining room is anchored by an olive tree that rises improbably from the center of the floor, its branches catching the light from a constellation of milk-glass globes. Along the bar, bottles glow against whitewashed brick, and the marble counter is set with striped linen napkins. The effect is part farmhouse and part supper club, and it is more inviting than either would be on its own. The menu favors familiar dishes executed with care. A glazed salmon arrives lacquered and deeply caramelized at the edges, resting on wilted spinach and a bright hash of corn, peas, and shallot, all bound by a butter sauce worth chasing with a fork. The fish sandwich is a study in restraint: a well-seasoned, pan-crisped fillet, a soft brioche bun, and a tangle of slaw, with a plump pickle and coleslaw alongside, as tradition demands. Dessert is where The Shed allows itself some indulgence. A dense, fudgy brownie, dusted with powdered sugar and set beside a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into chocolate sauce, recalls childhood without apology. Notably, the restaurant takes its non-alcoholic drinks seriously. The mocktail list is broad and thoughtful, a welcome gesture of hospitality toward diners who would rather skip the spirits without skipping the fun. Service, led on this evening by a warm and unhurried server, matched the room. Tables linger here, and no one seems to mind. The Shed isn't trying to reinvent anything. It simply does the familiar things well, in a room that makes you want to stay for another round of dessert and another hour of talk.

I had to change plans quickly as I looked at the specials they had going on that day wow! We decided to go with the duck and the monkfish main course entrees instead. Life is about making the right choices and this was the best decision I made that day lol! The duck was cooked to perfection soft on the inside crispy on the outside wow! I really like how juicy and fatty the duck was very succulent and delicious yummy. I especially liked the wine sauce on top among taste sweet with a slight tart to it juts the right balance I was impressed. Definitely one of the best duck dishes I've ever had it's a special so I'm not sure if it will be available when you decide to go call ahead would be my suggestion and your best bet. Laslty the side with butter squash was also a delight to eat and treat! Second course was the monkfish which was great as well. It had a slightly Smokey flavor to my pallet and a slight crunch on the outside maybe it was torched or seared not sure. Whatever the case it was a great touch to the dish very tasty and juicy as well. I love the sauce and the sides were great mashed potatoes with broccoli yummy! I highly recommend this place for brunch, lunch, or dinner take your pick. They will not disappoint you at all that's for sure. I'm not sure how this place is in the evening as I've only gone during the day. I hope the chef gets to read this and know his work is appreciated and noticed! The staff and waiters are very accommodating and knowledgeable about the entrees and food in general. Great service and energy I will come again and repeat whenever possible. I liken the music they play in the background it's not too loud and always sets a great tone for the place. The windows bring in great light and the decor is tasteful and elegant gives a bistro vibe to me personally. You might think differently let us know anyway. Run don't walk to visit this fine establishment whenever you're in the mood for Italian or seafood or a plain old good burger enjoy.

We were traveling from out of town and meeting up with an old high school friend and Copperhill was the perfect place. They had a menu full of great selections ... from brunchy items to salads/sandwiches and great healthy selections too. Our server Cat D. also did a fine job of keeping us all very happy, she's a great server. I had the shrimp tacos which were very good. My husband and HS friend had the kale salad with a big piece of salmon on top. We all really enjoyed our meal and had plenty of time to catch up with each other. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated with cool art and flowers/plant life. They did a great job with creating a cool vibe inside. It does get a little loud, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, brunch on a Sunday might not be the place. The restaurant gets pretty crowded.. and for a reason. Great service, food and ambiance can do that! I would definitely go back next time I'm in town.

Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and really added to the experience without being overbearing. Great service always stands out to me, and this was exactly that. I had the fish, and it was excellent. The current menu features Atlantic Salmon with ratatouille, fennel, and basil, and seafood is definitely worth considering here. The food felt thoughtful and well prepared without being overly complicated. The atmosphere is beautiful. It has an upscale but comfortable feel, with enough character that it doesn't feel like every other restaurant. Sitting at the bar was perfect for catching up with friends, having a good meal, and enjoying the evening. Everything about the visit felt easy and well done, from the food to the service and ambiance. Definitely a great experience and a place I'd happily return to.

I've heard about this place for quite some time, especially because of its health-conscious approach, including using no seed oils and not serving sodas. I was really happy to finally give it a try. We were seated at a large, comfortable booth near the front entrance, right by the parking lot. Our waitress was pleasant, and provided good service throughout our meal. We each initially ordered a refresher drink called Bright Eyes, but our waitress quickly came back to let us know they were out. So, we decided to share the Kale Aid instead. Unfortunately, the drink tasted just okay to us, and there was quite a bit of ice, so after a few sips each, it was pretty much gone. We probably wouldn't order the drinks next time. For our food, I ordered the Ancient Grains Bowl, with an addition of Norwegian sustainably-raised salmon, while hubby had the Grilled Chicken & Mozzarella Sourdough Panini with a side of small salad. Both dishes were tasty and fresh, although we both felt the portions were on the smaller side. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and the experience. There are still a few dishes on the menu that I'd like to try, so we'll probably come back and give them a try next time.

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.

That being said, on September 23rd I was in search of something new and exciting and I was guided to Thomas's Ham & Eatery. I have passed Thomas's Ham & Eatery over a dozen times, and thought that the parking lot was rather small so I just kept it moving. Driving into the confined area, I found parking immediately with room to spare. Stepping inside of Thomas's Ham & Eater, a wave of happiness hit me--bright, sudden, and uplifting, like the effervescence from a freshly popped bottle of champagne. The happy atmosphere of the dining area was so contagious I immediately followed suit and put on a happy face. Looking around the restaurant and soaking it all in , I saw tons of people enjoying their meal while listening to groovy sounds such as; The Eagles - Peaceful Easy feeling, Bonnie Tyler- Total Eclipse of my heart, and so much more, but I got overly excited when Elton John & Kiki Dee's- Don't Go Breaking My Heart came on. I was in full sing along mode as I was seated. Now, I would love to talk about the food and service. The restaurant was clean and tables were freshly wiped. My waitress provided impeccable service as she stayed in catering mode. She supplied everything that I needed with kindness and passion. She was very patient and did not mind coming back to see when I was actually ready to order after looking over the menu. I went totally off the grid and ordered Cajun Omelette. It consisted of Louisiana Andouille Sausage (LAS), Tomato, Scallions & Green Peppers, and served with Home Fries & Toast- $16.45. Despite the small amount of LAS, the omelette was a grand slam. I really enjoyed it, the home fries had a few peppers and onions and just enough burn to let you know that they were not entirely overcooked but you will have that crunch. I did ask for lite butter on the rye toast, instead I received enough butter to lubricate bicycle gears, I scrapped it off and kept it moving, no harm no foul, keeping a positive vibe. The coffee was just as good and I really enjoyed it as well. I give Thomas's Ham & Eatery 3 1/2 stars but the atmosphere and tone boosts it up to 5 stars, I will definitely be returning for another HAPPY MEAL! Inspire more, Yelp more!

We've always loved his cooking and have since followed him to Monroe's while still frequenting Tesoro's. We started our dinner with an Appetizer of Rice Balls followed by an entree of Salmon in Orange sauce for my partner, and Shrimp & Clam Fra Diavolo over Linguine for myself. As we started to order our choices they also informed us they had initiated a new Price Fixe menu in case we decided to change. We stuck with our original choices but decided after perusing the Price Fixe menu we have to come back very shortly as it offers a great value. What's different about Monroe's is that it's offered 7 days a week except holidays, versus other restaurants that tend to limit the days or hours you can order off a Price fixe menu. It s a good deal at $39.95 for 4-Courses starting with a variety of Appetizers, followed by a choice of two salads, multiple Entrée choices including Pastas, various Chicken dishes, Skirt Steak, Port Chop or Pork Medallions, and Seafood including Red Snapper, Salmon, or Sole. Finishing up with a choice of several desserts to choose from. A complimentary glass of Wine or Beer to also accompany your meal. IMO can't beat the value for 4 courses @ $39.95 and available 7 days a week except for Holidays.
