Wow..what an amazing new restaurant find! Rockefellers Kitchen did not disappoint. We were able to…read moreget a table for a party of four with no issue, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. The waitress and entire staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. To top it off, there was a young guy singing Frank Sinatra classics in the middle of the week, which gave the place such a fun and classy vibe. For appetizers, we tried the wonton nachos, which were absolutely delicious. The meatballs and mozzarella were good, though a bit heavier on the bread than I prefer. Dinner was outstanding across the board. We ordered the Chicken Caesar salad, hamburger, crab cakes, and the Rockefeller French dip, and every single dish was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The restaurant itself is trendy, with an amazing bar and great atmosphere. I highly recommend checking this place out -- we'll definitely be back!

The old back room had been transformed into an official party room with a separate bar and restroom and closed off with decorative barn doors. The bar area offers ample seating, with the dining area ( offering table service) behind the bar wall overlooking the main stage. Greeted warmly greeted when we first entered with only a five minute wait ( we had a reservation and I highly recommend making one). Again warmly welcomed by our server Nicole who provided an outstanding service throughout the evening. Nicole was friendly, engaging and offered excellent dinner and drink suggestions. Live music was on tap on this Friday evening which did make the dining room rather loud for holding table conversations but worth the live music being played that evening. The cocktail menu offers a good and varied selection of mixed drinks and wine and the mixed drinks are both flavorful and expertly presented. I would highly recommend both the Flappers Folly ( a refreshing floral mix) and the Espresso Martini drinks. Started off with the hot honey & bacon brussel sprout appetizers which were perfectly flavored with the honey and bacon bits over crispy brussel sprouts. All main dish items were very good. The Old Sport Burgers were juicy, flavorful and all cooked to perfection served with crispy string French fries. The French Dip Au Jus was well seasoned and not to dry with a flavorful au jus. I would highly recommend the Gatsby Grain dish bowel. Shredded chicken served over jasmine rice and vegetables was outstanding and served with a side salad. Restaurant manager Cathy was very visible in the dining room checking in with every table and asking for feedback which you don't see very often nowadays. Even got a personal tour of the new party room ( looking for a location for a future event). Overall good food reasonably priced , excellent service and nice decorum with live music offered on the weekends. A great place to grab a drink and listen to music while catching a great burger or the Gatsby Grain dish bowel . You won't be disappointed.

Our wait staff was nothing but kind and patient with our moderately large party and checked up on us without being overbearing. Ambiance is very cool, and definitely leans into its classic and nostalgic feel of its name, but not in a campy way. If you bring a date here, they would be impressed by the nice tile and wooden features alone, but it's the food that is really going to blow them away, but we will get to that next. The menu and cocktails do rotate seasonally a bit, so your experience may vary on availability for some items, but if you come back often enough (and spoiler, you will want to), you'll see them comeback! We started with Caesar salad, calamari, and Korean fried wings with the easy standout being the fried wings, a bit spicy but delicious but buyer beware they are messy (don't worry though, they give you moist towelettes to clean yourself off), calamari was cooked exactly how it needed to be and not rubbery, and the Caesar salad was as good as I've had it anywhere (although there's was made with tahini, giving it a little sesame flair). For mains, we had a pesto pasta, steak frites with an au poivre sauce, with sides of jersey asparagus and mashed potatoes. Steak was cooked just right and I'd dip almost anything in that sauce, and the pesto pasta was a nice lighter and herby balance to the meal. Fries were perfectly crisp shoestring style and the other end of the potato spectrum was the delightfully smooth mashed potatoes and gravy. Asparagus has always been my favorite green, and adding a cream sauce with bacon only makes this version of it that much more enticing. Capping off with dessert, we had the chocolate Basque cheesecake, a brown sugar pie, and a pistachio cake. Choosing a favorite out of these is like choosing a favorite child I'm sure, but I am still craving more of that cheesecake, RUN do not walk to get that at the very least. Parking can be crazy in patchogue, there is a small attached lot and some street parking, but I'd advise using one of the municipal lots nearby and walking a little bit for your own sanity. One of my favorite dining experiences in patchogue to date, and will be happy to comeback here to try more of the menu for any occasion!

Brunch is also a good time to come with a limited menu so you're not overwhelmed with a little of everything on it. I tried the salmon caesear salad which was light with a nice dressing. We also tried the pancakes which were fluffy and delicious, as well as the steak and eggs (can't go wrong). Bottomless mimosas are also offered for $25 additional. I can't wait to do lunch/dinner here in the future.

We have been wanting to come here for a long time and finally had the chance!…read moreFirst I would like to say that every single human that we came across, whether on the phone or in person, was extremely kind and had great customer service etiquette. I am a firm believer that this is just as important, if not more, than the food! First notable was Sydney, over the phone. We thought we were going to be late for our reservation and she assured me not to worry. They normally give a 15 minute grace period, but she knew we were celebrating a 50th birthday, an 85th birthday and Mother's Day (the week after). It was only four people but a big deal to us. Thankfully, we weren't late, traffic cleared up and we walked in exactly at our reservation time. It was a beautiful afternoon. 3pm on a Saturday and the small wrap around lot was packed. We got lucky as someone was pulling out, but people were parking in other surrounding lots and walking over. When we left, we also saw people parked on the street and in the huge shopping center across the street. Outdoor seating in front of the restaurant was full. There were palm trees and umbrellas. The numerous front doors to the restaurant were closed and it was frustrating because there were runners, wait staff and people trying to get to the hostess station and to the bar. Having my 85 year old mom navigate all this was tough. But once inside, our table was ready and waiting for us. The hostesses were handling the chaos of the people and the phone with a smile! We were given regular menus and a lobster roll and drink menu upon sitting down. Also, bread/dinner rolls. They were ok. There were 10 different kinds of hot and cold lobster rolls to choose from. It seemed that every table around us had at least one served to them. While we were looking and trying to decide what to order, Aurora came over to introduce herself and take drink orders. She was also super kind, accommodating and knowledgeable. She explained that she could adjust certain things, take things off the lobster rolls because they are made fresh and tended to the picky eater at the table. I live having a waitress that is patient and knows what she's doing! Two lemonades, one soda and a mocktail called Momma Said Mock You Out, came to the table. All good. Also ordered was a fried calamari appetizer. It was plentiful for the three of us that tried it. The marinara sauce was yummy. The calamari was fresh and had legs (my fave). But the overwhelming flavor of "fried" took away from the flavor of the calamari. It was crispy but it tasted like reused oil in the fryer maybe? Other than that, it would have been excellent. Not one piece remained. For our entrees, one chicken franchese over linguine, one order of seafood Spanish paella, one order of sliders with cheese (onion rings changed to fries) and one Connecticut lobster roll poached in light butter, no chives. The chicken franchise was not like you get in an Italian restaurant. It comes with cherry peppers and topped with mozzarella cheese. We held the peppers. The sauce was thick and rich, not light like we're used to. There was a lot of mozzarella cheese melted on top as well. Both of these things overwhelmed the dish. But not in a bad way. Just...different. the chicken was fresh and plentiful. The Paella. It came in a huge pot with a cover on it. It was HOT and HUGE. Lots of rice. Lots of flavor and it was eaten at home for 2 more days. The person who had it says it was good. Three sliders. Not good. They were overcooked. Buns bland. Burnt meat around the edges and had no flavor. Just covered up with American cheese. Ketchup saved what it could and two got eaten. The fries that came with them were "really, really good!" The Connecticut hot lobster roll. The star of the show. We got the one where we could taste the lobster. It came just as ordered, poached in just a little bit of butter with no chives. The bun was toasted and fresh. The lobster was a little chewy but plentiful. There were big chunks and lots of claw meat. No shredded pieces to cut corners. It came on a metal tray with a taco stand to keep the bread from getting wet. It also came with fries, coleslaw and a small pickle slice. It was fresh lobster and it was delicious. I'd definitely go here just for this. We were checked on often. Free drink refills. Extra napkins. No paper straws. We were going to do birthday celebrations but everyone was in a food coma. Side note- Ladies room was half inoperable and disgusting. Garbage on the floor. One of two stalls broken. Smelled of urine. Sink and floor wet (dangerous) and a line due to one operating stall. Please address this as it was not safe, can ruin an appetite and hold up the timing of everything else in the restaurant. All in all, I would like to go back and try more food. I only took off one star because the good outweighed the bad. My suggestion-open another location! Thanks for a memorable dinner with my special people!

This place would get a 3.5, but I'm rounding down for reasons I will say in the review…read more I started off by seeing this place by searching for fish and chips. Seeing they had a Wednesday special, I decided to put off my adventure from Roslyn to Ronkonkoma from Monday to Wednesday. I also found a bunch of things I was interested in to pad my experience and make the drive worth it. The waitress came quickly, got our drink orders, took a few minutes, and we started our order. I started off by getting the Fire Island Fries, the Flanagan's Nachos minus Jalapenos and Chipotle Ranch, sub the chicken in, the Fish and Chips special with additional pay for French Onion Soup and Curry sauce, and my friend got the Penne Alla Vodka add chicken. I asked how the Mozzarella sticks were and she said they were very popular so I got those as well. We'll start with my addition. The mozzarella sticks are good. Fried properly, not raw, not burnt, you get I believe 9 in an order. I greatly enjoyed them, however I would never pay more than a buck for a small brick of cheese. They were great, but not that great. The nachos were very barebones, something getting them at full capacity wouldn't have done much for. The queso is gross, and put me off from eating too much. The avocado was a single, sliced avocado which is fine, but pretty hard to eat with chips. The chicken was a bit of an issue, not tasting great. The fire island fries were good, I enjoyed the flavor change, but I feel like some cheddar would have made them from "good" to "amazing". Adding cheddar to my leftovers later confirmed that. The french onion soup was the shiniest turd I've had the experience of eating. It is the best of the worst, in every way. The cheese tastes a bit off, the broth did't have much flavor or salt, the onions were sour, and overall it looks tremendous, proper quality, but tasted like I was eating expired progresso with some sour cheese melted over it. I love proper French Onion soup, but this was very difficult to force myself to eat. The penne alla vodka was fine, but they could have added more salt, it just felt a little bland. The chicken was hard and dry. It didn't work with the dish itself, it felt like eating two different things at once, neither of them tasting as good as they should. The fish and chips were the real star. The fish was as crunchy as you expect, the chips were proper chips. The curry was hot but delicious, everything was absolutely fantastic. If I was reviewing on the fish and chips alone, this place would absolutely get five dtars. But they need to work on the other areas of their menu, they're heavily dragging this place down. I also got the donut with ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. A donut from dunkin would have been better in my opinion, and you would save $10 assembling everything yourself. Finally, the service. It was very here and there. At first, we were getting checked up on often, but at the end, there was a good 20 minute stint where they wouldn't show up at our table and we had to flag them over to get our check. I'm not rating this against them, but I would have liked a little more observation. It was a one and done place, with excellent fish and chips this side of the pond. If I was closer, this would be a Wednesday night thing, but I'm too far to justify that.
