Why have I been walking past Alpina everytime I'm in Greenport?…read more Was it the dark atmosphere? Did I think I was getting just another American-German influenced restaurant with only brats and potato pancakes? Did I expect polka? The experience was actually slow and refined, without the white tablecloths. Alpina has German, Swiss, and slightly Northern Italian influenced cuisine, along with a selection of alcohols I was completely unfamiliar with... which made the experience feel full of new things. The most memorable food was actually one of the simplest. The chef prepared incredibly creamy, caramelized onions with a slight sauerkraut tang that was amazeballs. I told our waiter that I'd write him a love letter over it, and here I am! The pappardelle had shredded duck, cheese, and big, fun, chewy noodles that were satisfying to slurp. It just needed a dash of pepper to elevate it. The meat and cheese board included a few things I'd never tried before, and it was so good I was searching for a meat shop in Manhattan so we could buy them again. Portion sizes aren't huge for the price, but it was worth it to us. Don't be afraid of the dark entrance, the ligonberry on the menu, and ask the bartender about the connection between the giant copper gnome and penguin shaker gone rouge.

Every pour was solid, and it made it easy to narrow down what we liked. Our server/bartender JR was fantastic--super knowledgeable, easygoing, and made great recommendations without being pushy. We ended up going with a bottle of Merlot they suggested, and it was excellent. Smooth, well-balanced, and exactly what we were hoping for after the tasting. Honestly, just a fantastic wine. And I we also got a whiskey that sampled great. Exited to have it! Between the quality of the wine and the service, it made for a really enjoyable experience. It was on the beach and we loved checking out. But the main area was super cool! Definitely a super cool Albany spot we'll be back to.

We stopped in on a whim and luckily they had plenty of space for our impromptu lunch on the rooftop. It was the perfect space! We got two seats on the bar overlooking the water. Your view is mostly parking lot below, but the beautiful covered roof behind you is enough to transport you to an Italian seaside in your head. It was an intentionally small lunch for us, as we knew we'd be having a big meal not too long after, so we decided to share the fish tacos, along with a side of grilled asparagus and then we also impulse ordered a few pieces of the sushi. Everything was delicious! The fish tacos ended up being the perfect thing for two people to share. The order came with two bigggg boys, so no fighting over a rogue 3rd taco. Sushi was fresh and so tasty, and the asparagus was perfectly grilled and a nice side. I can see this place getting vibey at night, especially on the rooftop with the bar right there. A place to come back to for sure.

The martini tasted watered down and the wine was poured into a small glass not even halfway. Our waitress was nice but overwhelmed. I ordered the macadamia crusted halibut. It sat on top of sticky rice. Chopped eggplant was scattered around it along with some lychee foam. The halibut was overcooked and dry. I did not like the foam. The rice was ok as was the eggplant. Also ordered was the paella. I love saffron, but it was overpowering in this dish. It was not enjoyable. Also ordered was pasta with butter for the kids. It was ok. I would not go back here.

My wife spotted this rustic looking facility, so I turned in and immediately got a good feeling about it. The owner greeted us and made us feel entirely welcome. We sat down and looked at the tasting choices and had a fairly easy time filling up our dance card with 5 selections. We had the place to ourselves at first, and spent time getting to know Perry, a woman whose family has owned the operation since 1974. She said most of the buildings date back from the mid 1859s. Entertainment was also provided by 20 chickens (17 hens and 3 roosters). The wines were wonderful and lovingly explained by Perry. We left with a red and a white, and a feeling that this had been a very special hour.

The vineyard is beautiful, peaceful, and well kept, with open views and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind and enjoy your surroundings. It feels calm and welcoming without being crowded or overwhelming. The service was good throughout our visit. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful when it came to explaining the wines and guiding tastings. Everything felt organized and unhurried, which allowed us to really take our time and enjoy the experience. They were attentive when needed but also gave plenty of space, which added to the laid back vibe. The wine was pretty good overall. There was a nice variety available, and while not every wine stood out, several were enjoyable and well balanced. The quality matched the relaxed setting and made for a pleasant tasting. It is the kind of wine you can easily enjoy while sitting outside and taking in the scenery. Overall Old Field Vineyard offers good service, great ambience, and pretty good wine in a lovely setting. It may not be the most standout vineyard on the North Fork, but it is absolutely worth a visit if you are looking for a relaxing and enjoyable wine tasting experience. A strong four star destination.

We can officially stop searching--Lucharitos Greenport is it. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was fun, relaxed, and welcoming. We started with the Carne Asada Lucha Fries, and honestly, they were worth the trip alone. Crispy fries piled high with perfectly seasoned steak and all the toppings... absolutely incredible. Then came the Mango Margaritas with a little Tajín on the rim. If you haven't tried them that way, do yourself a favor. The sweet mango with the spicy, tangy kick from the Tajín is a game changer. The portions are huge, the prices are more than fair (especially for the amount of food you get), and everything tasted fresh and made with care. It's become one of our favorite date night spots because you can have an amazing meal, a couple of drinks, and leave happy without feeling like you emptied your wallet. If you're looking for outstanding Tex-Mex, fantastic margaritas, stellar service and a fun atmosphere, Lucharitos Greenport absolutely delivers. We can't wait to come back!
