Came here for just a one night stay on a summer weekend. High point of the experience was…read moredefinitely the service. The staff behind the desk not only helped me make sure that everything would be ready for us before our stay, but were very kind and accommodating to our requests during the trip. Rooms are nice for the most part, but oddly lacking in the overhead lighting they provide, so hopefully anything you need to get ready for doesn't require too much illumination. Otherwise the rooms are comfortable, albeit a bit on the smaller side but large enough for a short stay. Parking is decent in the attached lot, but getting out can be a little rough since it's right along a main road. Additionally, it's within earshot of the racetrack, which can be quite noisy during the day, but was no issue by the time we got back at night. Breakfast is also served in the mornings and they offer a good variety and decent quality, but nothing to write home to mom about, but I've certainly had worse too. Overall, I'd be glad to stay here again if I find myself needing a night or two out east.

What a beautiful venue for my nephews wedding. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and well…read moremaintained. Countless areas to achieve the most perfect pictures. The entry is very spacious with lovely decor, lighting and a warm and welcoming fireplace. It was in this room that everyone was offered champagne while family and friends were taking professional photos. There is a few chairs and a couch for those that need to sit. Right off this entry room is spacious restrooms. Now it is time for the cocktail hour and may I say you will be very pleased. You name it, it is yours. Fresh fruits, vegetables, salads galore, charcuterie platter , guacamole, chips and so on and so on. I didn't visit the hot meats, seafood or pasta stations but I did notice many guests were enjoying their selections. There were countless servers coming from every direction with a variety of delicious hors d'oeuvres. Seriously, it went on non-stop for an hour. There was a very large bar serving excellent drinks that never stopped. Hopefully everyone left decent tips! The staff worked very hard, constantly moving, cleaning and serving with a smile. It was wonderful to see the young community taking pride in their work. They are truly an asset to this establishment! Great job young adults! Ok so now the wedding reception. Like no other wedding reception my husband and I have ever experienced. The reception room was very large and beautiful. Gorgeous flooring and lighting fixtures. So grand and please don't but you could eat off the floor. It was very comfortable to walk around and a very spacious and open dance floor. Fast foward the main course and dessert. Again the staff was perfection. Constantly asking if anyone would care for a cocktail and always serving with a smile. The salad and main course was beautifully platted and served on a timely fashion. A few guests commented that the portions were a little small but after that cocktail hour who really needed a large meal. Some guests also weren't completely pleased with their main course. Managers and staff walked around and asked guests if there was anything that needed to be addressed so I'm sure it was rectified swiftly. I was completely satisfied with the salmon I ordered so no complaints here! And then here comes the desserts. OMG, again you name it! My nephew spared no expense. From the main wedding cake to the mini ice cream cones everything was delicious. This was a spectacular wedding and East Wind was a big part of that success. We had a great time! East Wind is convenient to get to and has a very large parking lot. They also offer accommodations at the Inn and Spa at a reasonable cost. Myself and my family highly recommend The Estate at East Wind for a spectacular wedding!!

Never heard of this course, but it is definitely one of the most unique courses on LI. Playing…read morefrom the tips this course is only 6,300 yards but it is more difficult than some of the longer neighboring courses (Swan lake, Cherry Creek). Distance is secondary to accuracy here. The course is fairly tight and the greens are some of the most difficult on LI. You only want to be putting uphill here. The terrain is hilly and trees line the fairways. One big knock on the course right now is they can't sell alcohol! Must be a result of management change. So if you are trying to have a little extra fun this isn't the place.

The only thing "Great" about this course is the "Rock" itself. We've played here quite a few times…read morebut for the first time this summer. It was HORRIBLE. Tee boxes full of crab grass. Fairways that were indistinguishable from the first cut. Sand traps that were hard and full of weeds and greens that were rock hard and burnt to a crisp. So sad. This was once a beautiful course and now it's an absolute dump. Save your money. If we had gotten a good deal at least we would understand why but we paid around $150 for 2 w/a cart. Bad, bad, bad... Even the ball cleaners would omit a dank disgusting odor when you used them The cart girl couldn't even sell us a beer to ease our pain as they no longer have a liquor license. Do the right thing and shut this place down until you get your affairs in order and stop stealing from your patrons.

We worked exclusively with Lenea, the owner. Since my mother is a huge flower lover, she was very…read moreparticular about what flowers were to be used and how they were to appear. Lenea did not disappoint when it came to bringing my mother's vision to life! The moment Lenea personally delivered my bridal bouquet that morning, my mom began to cry!

You can wander around aimlessly for hours here and discover thousands of things you'd want or want…read moreto do. Have a gardening project you need help with? They'll help. Need plants that just cover the ground for your front yard? They have a slice of land just dedicated to that. A little late on growing your tomatoes? Don't worry, they have them at all varying sizes. They even have a whole barn house that stores a ton of vintage decorative items that you can spend a decent amount of time in. So much stuff, it spills outward into the front. How cool. I wish I took photos of the rest of the land but all the reviewers captured it best. My photos just shows all the cool stuff I liked. For me, I love going to places like this to be inspired and to wander. Get lost in it. No high pressure tactics here, they'll leave you alone to roam around. I end up learning so much about nature that it becomes an overall relaxing experience. They even have an area where you can sit out and enjoy their events. And their greenhouses are beautiful. So well-stocked with every inch being utilized thoughtfully. It's also sooooo nice that you can bring your dog. I will especially go to an establishment if it's dog friendly. And my dog couldn't get enough of it. Sniffing around and laying out in the shade instead of staying home while I'm out. It seems so unfair which is why this place is such a gem to me. In more ways than one. I'm a fan. I have no complaints. It's a different experience each time and I always leave in such a better state of mind.

Once we're done eating, we explore the different areas of plants and the quaint general store. Staff is on hand to answer any questions and assist as need be. It's a beautiful day out enjoying a unique hidden gem on Long Island. I'd never know it was even there had it not been for my daughter bringing me.

Every guest is talking about how amazing our wedding was. There is simply NO PLACE like Giorgios. The entire staff, the food, the beauty of the venue were all EXCEPTIONAL. I was lucky enough to have Alexa as my bridal attendant for the day. My family and I felt so lucky to have her with us. She came with us to the church and helped me with my dress all day. Alexa stayed by my side all day and supported me with anything physically and emotionally! I am so appreciative of her. My day would not have been the same without her. If you are considering booking your wedding at Giorgios, do not think twice! Do it!! They are one of a kind.

John & Nikki.. I honestly don't know where to begin. First and foremost, with all the choices that…read morewe made during the process of planning our wedding on the North Fork, choosing our caterer was easy. We were deciding between a few caterers and had a tasting with the Perry's that just sealed the deal. My (now) husband and I walked out of there saying it felt like we just had lunch with our aunt & uncle, it felt like we had known them that long! They are two amazingly warm people -- of course it helps that John is incredibly organized and good at his job and that Nikki makes the most delicious bites. We devoured every little last bite at that tasting.. Nothing went to waste! John was so helpful with everything leading up to the day of as well, from picking out rentals, to working out our timeline. We decided to have a different format (cocktail stations as opposed to a formal sit-down dinner) and working together, John helped us make sure we'd have a smooth flow and that everything would go off without a hitch. As we were working out the details with the rentals, I never felt like he was pushing me one way or the other -- even when he put together the list of kitchen items they'd need (my venue did not provide any set-up), I knew he was being careful about not over-ordering. I really felt like he had my best interests in mind at all times. Having him to coordinate all the details made me feel at ease.. I knew I was in good hands! On our actual wedding day, we were so well taken care of. The staff made sure we were eating (haha, doesn't always happen at weddings!) and everything ran so smoothly. Later in the evening, a very traumatic family emergency happened during the reception that put a frightening pause on the celebration. John was a rock and I really felt like I looked to him for the "What now?" John & Nikki were different from some of our other vendors with whom we'll probably not be in touch again. I feel like we'll be sending John & Nikki Christmas cards for years to come.. :) They embraced us and made us feel like family, and I'm certain they will you too.

4.5/5: My girlfriend & I went here for my birthday week…read more Exterior: We loved the look of the hotel from the outside and parking was easy. During the day it was beautiful and at night the trees were all lit up which felt magical. We liked the area where people get married as well. Inside front desk area: Gorgeous and perfect for pictures we absolutely loved the way it was decorated and the sheer size of the main room. There is plenty of seating. We received our room key right away and the key return was simple too. The Room: The large size of the room, the feel of the bed, the furniture, the draw space, the small but empty fridge kept our drinks cold, and the lighting was nice. Our room was conveniently placed on the first floor near the front desk and near our car. BATHROOM: It was large, had an extra towel, and nice bathroom products. The shower was good and fit 2 comfortably and it had a large bath but the stopper was not working so we did not try it again as it made more sense to try the pool to relax. (We are young but I think older people may have trouble getting in and out). POOL: The pool was INDOOR and well lit, warm, and we had no other guests there the 2 times we went. They had plenty of towels, places to sit/relax, and a bathroom at the pool too. (Note: No food or drink is allowed in the pool). STAFF: The hotel staff and front desk staff was pleasant and helpful. They gave us an extra tissue box on request. They made it easy to book an extra night too. Restaurant on premise: We saw they had a restaurant and went only for drinks at the end of the night. It is not open that late so check the hours. Next time we come we will try the food. Shops: In walking distance is a small shopping center with a wine store, cheese store, candy store, a carousel, a restaurant, a pizza shop, and several others that were lit up at night and pleasant to walk through. It had decorations for Christmas. It was a bit cold, so I can see spring/summer being a better time to visit. They do not have everything and are geared to weddings so you may still want to venture out. (Also it felt odd they did not have a hairstylist/makeup artist shop, or photographer studio as one of the shops since there are so many weddings here). Keep in mind these are separate establishments. Protip: check the hours for the carousel before going. Negatives: -0.5 There is NO microwave in the room, only 1 shared microwave at the front desk where they serve complimentary coffee/tea and sell affordable snacks/perishables. (This was still much better than expensive minibar/minifridges in the room like in other hotels). We never had to wait for the microwave but reheating and carrying it back to the room and opening the heavy door was a little rough sometimes. I could see this being tedious to older guests. SMART TV: It is a nice size smart tv but you have to sign into your apps on the tv and actively remember to sign out or the next guest will have access to your netflix, hulu, etc. (several guests forgot to do so) The hbomax app was not immediately available and required a download code from the hotel and I did not want to do all of that at 1am so we skipped it and watched something else. Hoping the hotel staff will download ALL the possible apps ahead of time so guests do not have this issue in the future. Weddings/events: This felt like a perfect spot that was affordable and luxurious in terms of hotel. I did not attend an event here but saw they finished an event with many people the night we arrived and were prepping for a wedding the day we were leaving. Everyone seemed happy. Spa: The spa seems like a fun feature but the price is too much for us (it is even more than the hotel night stay) but it might be worth splurging if it was a honeymoon. Gym: The gym near the pool was not accessible. There was a separately owner gym/fitness center that charged a small fee. (We did not go and enjoyed swimming as exercise instead). 4.5/5: Of all the hotels we visited in 2025, this was the BEST experience and affordable. It was worth our 1.5 hr drive making the NY staycation (my birthday week) a real vacation. We hope to go once a year every year and will even considered it for our future wedding if they have affordable pricing and maintain the quality.
