Probably the worst meal I ever had the so called famous steaks where impossible to chew they marinated the worst quality beef to make it taste Better and get more tender but still could not cut the steak which the waitress kept looking at us we had 6 of them all six of us where looking at each other how is this possible Service was good but we will never go back read more

My absolute favorite restaurant on the island! No one can top their marinated porterhouse, pair that with a sweet potato and some Catalina dressing read more

The Rendezvous Room is back. After Billy, the longtime weekend bartender left, the place seemed to go into a deep depression. The bar area was quiet and even the food seemed to be going downhill. Well, it seems like the mourning period is over. A recent visit showed the bar to be hopping and the marinated steak (the absolute best anywhere) to be as good as ever. Yes, the Rendezvous Room is back. read more

If you want a plain hamburger and fries for under $15 , go to a mcdonalds. In this place, you get what you see. Good atmosphere, great marinaded steak and good beer. Stick with the steak, you won't be sorry. read more

Really nice place. Bartenders friendly, food very good. Burgers not on the menu, but delicious.

Being someone who works in a restaurant I know how difficult it can be to read reviews and seat people who can be out right rude. I came here on a Friday night with two other people so it was very busy. I got baked clams as a starter which I regret. The inside had an odd taste but the breading was good. I tasted the steak which was flavorless, I had the jumbo shrimp for my meal with a side of fries which was delicious!! And tried fried flounder which was amazing. I definitely recommend eating the flounder with fried. read more

A genial dining room and genial service is marred with so-so food that is much more expensive than it should be. $16 for a plain (and I mean plain; no lettuce, tomato, cheese) burger and fries?!? read more

Went here because I got a recommendation and I'm so glad I did! My boyfriend and I and his parents enjoyed our meals so much! Our steak was to die for (make sure you get the marinade) and the fried shrimp was amazing! We will definitely be going back! read more

Just went to lunch with my wife today. Food good but a little pricey compare to equal quality restaurants. We won't go back after I saw my bill. I had unsweetened ice tea for $2.50 Fair. My wife had unsweetened ice tea and asked for a splash of lemonade. Price increased to $7.50. I don't mind higher than average meal prices and I tip well; but taking advantage be charging an extra $5 for a splash of lemonade? So many other places to go to. read more

The best steaks on the North Fork. The marinade is the best part. Great food in a little hole in the wall.

We were there the first night of our stay. We ordered the surf and turf and my wife order the duck. Both meals were very good. Service was great. I've eaten in some very good steak houses and this was on par. Second night we ordered broil sea food platter and scallops over patsa. The scallops were over cooked and the sauce had no taste. Again the service was good we will return again could have been an off night. Well worth a try. read more

This was not a good experience. Poor lighting, poor food quality and poor service. Main reason we went here was because it showed a review of 4.3 stars, but it did not live up to that rating. read more

There are so many alternative options instead of this place so take advantage of that. The staff (hostest and bartender) were some of the rudest people I had ever met in my life. Cleanliness was not a priority and anytime our group had to ask a question, we received answers that were hostile and filled with attitude. Go across the street to the much more spacious and friendly Sonoma. read more

Enjoyed my meal but service could have been a little more attentive, I was solo so decided to sit at the bar. Bartender seemed more interested discussing with other servers what they were gonna eat for dinner and where to grab a drink after work instead of worrying about the customers. Not good read more

I ordered my steak with "no pink." It arrived charred beyond recognition. I couldn't eat it. The server was inattentive, service was slow, and the menu was limited. I don't need to ever go back. read more

Used to be the best place to get a marinated steak- but this past visit was awful. The service was horrifically slow, waitress never offered to refill drinks, and the filet mignon was touch and full of fat and gristle. Won't be back. read more

Not so great. From the food to the staff, both well below average. We had a party of 6 and were hassled when asked to have separate checks. We were hassled again when the waitress instructed is on how much we had to tip her after telling us she didn't automatically add the 20% tip. She even looked at the tip inside the bifold and handed a few back to my friends saying it wasn't enough. read more

Quaint and cozy restaurant, frequented by locals. Marinated steaks are wonderful. Lobster tails are fresh. Servers are mature and attentive. One of the most flavorful and juicy fillet mignons I have had in a while! The appetizers were a rave - baked clams are unique and delicious. The broccoli and cheddar poppers were raved about at the table. Surf and turf was slightly pricey ($39) but enjoyable. I'll return. read more

Over priced extremely poor service 9.50 for a poorly made bar well liquor Cosmo Served wrong steak at higher price steak price and they thought we wouldn't notice. Who charges 10.99 for 5 oysters on the half shell. This place is not the ace it use to be. Cliff must be rolling over in his grave. read more

Great steaks, tasty wings, awesome cheeseburgers. Great environment. Love this place. One of my wife and I's favorites.

My friends and I went after a round of golf I have been there many times over the years and the place is great it was not to Busy so that was fine with me the service was very good the drinks were fairly priced, the steaks were first class I had the marinated porterhouse rare and it was cooked to order my friend said he was not hungry and was going to order s burger I told him to order the small steak and he did he loved it his was med well and they made it perfect my other also had the porterhouse and was not hungry so he took half of it home he also gave it high marks if you are a steak person this should be. Your place .better then the palm or or any of those overpriced places and about half the price. If you have any room left the desert list is great and portions are huge read more

Growing up, the Rendezvous was the place you went for special occasions - confirmation, graduation, dates, etc. It is an institution. You came to the Rendezvous for a nice steak and excellent seafood. The menu was small, but everything on it was good. Potatoes came with every dish and your salad was the vegetable. Done and done. Over the last couple of years, there have been a few changes. When the aquarium closes, there's a lot of families with over tired children. Steak houses generally involve a wait; not good with cranky kids. It is also a favorite with the day tripper wine tasters who want to get something in their stomachs before heading back. That can also be an issue. The menu has expanded to have a broader appeal, but it has resulted in longer waits. The prices have soared as well. The surf and turf, went from $25- $35 in a very short time. The quality of the filet has declined a bit lately. It is still a very good dish, but I don't know if it is pushing $40 good. While the hamburgers are no longer on the menu, you can still ask for them. They are outstanding and should be put back on the menu permanently. The baked stuffed clams are the claim to fame, but my favorite is the scallops - sweet and tender. I would like to see the quality of the steaks come back up to where it always has been. Especially at these prices. We are already waiting for the steak; please stop butterflying everything and cook it the way it should be cooked. The peel and eat shrimp was a great appetizer; that should make a come back too. Some places, you don't want to see change. You go there for comfort food. You go to see waitresses and bar tenders who you know and who know you. You want to have food that is consistent and filling in a space that is homey and conducive to relaxing with family and friends. Rendezvous always was that kind of place. I hope they can remember that and return to being a simple steak place with 4 star, special occasion dishes. read more

I have to say this may be the best place in down town Riverhead. The atmosphere is a throw back to cheers. Everyone knows someone's name that walks in the door! Food is the best! Bar is great! The staff makes you feel at home! I truly love this place. My go to with the kids for lunch or a night out with wife! This place is not a fancy Hampton restaurant but a place that is just relaxed and warming! read more

Had the best lunch today!!! Patty melt and chicken caprese sandwich. Sit at the bar with Tim and you'll have an amazing time. He will take the best care if you :))) read more

The steak is delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was appealing and enjoyable. Great during the week spot to gran dinner

Amazing food and service! Mussels and house marinated steak is a must. Would definitely suggest.

Great place for lunch!!! From the outside it was deceiving but once we entered we were pleasantly surprised. Great service and very attentive. The eggplant caprese was delicious and I enjoyed the corned beef sandwich. My husband said the clam chowder and turkey club were also good. Not a gourmet restaurant, but good food! read more

Have gone for lunch before and loved the wide selection of food and the great prices. The portions were huge. For dinner the prices jump and the selection is steak or seafood basically. I had the fried mushrooms which were bland and greasy and I would not recommend. The shrimp were good but I don't think I will return for dinner, definitely will return for lunch. read more

My husband and I had dinner there last month. Dinner was ok I have had better. Seems like the quality of the steaks have gone down. Why I am writing is not because of that but what I witnessed sitting there. The Hostess sat a table for 2, they looked at the menu and didn't see a hamburger and got up and left. When the hostess came back they were gone and she said where did they go? I said they wanted a hamburger and she said they could have had one if they asked. Just then 2 more people came in and they were seated at the same table where the 2 had just left. The water glasses were not even changed! (We saw the 2 previous people drink form them and then the 2 that were just seated also drink from them when they were seated!!) When I told my waitress about what had just happened I was told the hostess is the owners daughter! I don't care who she is, that was absolutely disgusting! when I was discussing this with some friends they encouraged me to rate them with the explanation. read more
