    Started off restaurant week at George White for lunch, very nice atmosphere, bar grill restaurant, with plenty of seating inside and outside availability. Great restaurant week menu for lunch or dinner. We chose to have lunch today and started with the lentil soup that was incredible and prime cheeseburger... truly an outstanding tasting burger that was chargrilled. Next was a salad and chicken parm that was good. They have full bar we ordered wine by the glass and beer. Overall a great experience would definitely come back and they offer a Happy Hour menu and Prix Fixe menu 7 days a week as well as their full menu. Great value for delicious food and this restaurant is fully family owned and operated with excellent knowledgeable staff.

    Came here with friends for dinner during LI Restaurant Week. Overall, service and food were good. Restaurant has its own parking lot. Option to dine outdoors if the weather is nice. Inside decor and paintings makes one think of a horse stable, rustic look, and very warm. Plenty of variety to chose from from the main menu, specials, and restaurant week menu. Opted for restaurant week - which was a good deal for $37/pp for appetizer, entree and dessert. Beverages not included. Complimentary bread with room temperature butter - delicious. Appetizers: Mussels in white clam sauce and spinach and artichoke dip very very good. Mozzarella caprese was ok - mozz was a little on the harder side than expected. Special appetizer french onion soup was also good and filling. Beverages: Full bar, wine and cocktail options. Decided on just soda (refills included). Entrees: Sole oreganata - delicious and best of the 3 dishes. Short ribs with spinach and mashed potatoes was good, ribs were very tender. Half rack of BBQ ribs with cinnamon dusted sweet potato fries. Wow, that's a first and interesting mix - cinnamon on sweet potato fries. Dessert: Cannoli and carrot cake. Cannoli was good and filling, frosting on the carrot cake was bit too sweet for me. Complimentary limoncello shots to wind out the evening. Very nice touch! Will be back again to try other options on the menu.

    The food was great! My dirty martinis were perfect. The staff were friendly and attentive. I had a great dinner. I ordered the salmon encrusted with mustard pretzel topping which I'd never had but it was delicious. 5 stars all the way around!

    Food, service, ambiance was fantastic!!! I traveled up to do an engagement photoshoot for a couple and stopped her with my wife for dinner. We had a ton of choices to choose from and picked the George White restaurant. We were not disappointed at all. Loved it. Thank you!! Highly recommend.

    The interior at George White is very warm and inviting. They have a fireplace in the back and nice decorations throughout the restaurant. The prices are a bit high for the quality but overall the food was good. We started with the fried calamari which you could tell wasn't freshly made in-house. They were perfectly shaped and had a very bland coating on the outside, definitely not good. We also got the fried mozzarella which looked homemade and was delicious. For an entree, I got sole piccata. The sauce was delicious and the fish tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. Overall, George White is a good restaurant worth giving a try.

    We really enjoyed this restaurant! It's small but decorated well and they create good separation…read morebetween the tables. I also always enjoy a good booth. The service is good. Our waitress was responsive to whatever we needed. The prices are a little high for the portion size, but the food is great quality. My vinho verde was a nice size pour. My husband loved the Iberian ham here. We both had the garlic shrimp which were very well flavored but unfortunately didn't have even one garlic clove, which was disappointing and there were only 6 shrimp. The olive oil they were in was great though and we dipped our food into it and they were perfectly cooked. The paella is supposed to be for 2-4 people which I can see if you have more tapas but we finished it off. It came with a healthy amount of shrimp, grilled calamari and chorizo and was perfectly seasoned. We also appreciated how the rice was a bit crispy and not mushy. The table next to ours ordered what appeared to be a very good looking fruit cobbler of some kind but we were too stuffed for dessert. They also have a weekday happy hour before 6pm that looks good with deals on booze. Really enjoyed this spot! Conveniently located in the middle of garden city with ample free parking.

The restaurant is tapas style so a lot of small plates. I thought the presentation of the food was very well done. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and recommended great dishes. We ordered shrimp, steak on the bone, bone marrow, potatoes, polenta, broccolini, shishieto peppers, and paella for dinner to share. We all enjoyed our food. For desserts we got the lemon and blueberry pudding, was delicious. I loved the bread pudding. My grandfather enjoyed his Nutella chocolate.

    Decided to eat here for my anniversary dinner on a Sunday night. Nice atmosphere in a side street…read morejust off the main drag in oyster bay. We opted for the 4 course pre-fixe for $105 which includes two appetizers, entree and dessert. We had oysters, bucatini with clams, cheese board and roasted mushrooms for apps, all good. Branzino and pork chop were up next, also quite tasty. Apple strudel was good tho the banana pudding was skippable. They comped us a champagne toast which was nice. Only ding is very limited wine by the glass menu. Otherwise, a solid choice for a special occasion dinner.

    Was going with friends to a book reading/signing in the area. When they asked what place to go too…read moreprior to our book event, I knew I had to come back here. 2 Spring is special. Is it the delicious food? Maybe the sophisticated yet sleek ambiance. I don't know what it is, but they got it and I love it. And I love showing them off to others. On a cold Tuesday night, it was pretty empty. I really hope the summer months are better to them. The table-side bread basket was amazing. We each got to pick which sort of bread we wanted. There was sourdough, focaccia and others. I went with the focaccia and never looked back. Burrata and beets, Brussels sprouts and salmon that was cooked perfectly was enjoyed while the specialty cocktails were sipped. We had all the attention of the staff being the only diners in there. It was such lovely time I'm going to make sure I don't wait to long to go back.

The compote was excellent I didn't need the syrup but it was a nice to have just in case. The service was also great! We had a trainee and she was very nice and helpful (even if she was new). I believe management also came around to check on everything but with nothing to complain about it was a quick chat. We were able to sit outside to enjoy the weather which is a nice bonus. The inside is a bit dark in ambiance but it does have a wonderful mood setting for a dinner or an event. Speaking of events, we had a wedding dinner here earlier this month and everything was beyond perfect from the staff, drinks, and food. Everyone had a wonderful time and I couldn't thank them enough! This will definitely become a go to spot.

    Our group of 7 had reservations for 7:00pm a couple of Fridays ago. When we arrived, we pulled up…read moreto the valet, handed him our keys, and walked in right on time. We were seated immediately in the room toward the back left corner where we were the only table occupying the space. In fact, as the evening progressed, no other diners/groups were seated back there, which was nice. We observed that although it was a Friday evening at prime dinner hour, the restaurant never got too full nor was the bar area buzzing. Again, it was nice that it wasn't so hectic in there, but we noted that as curious for a spot like this, on a Friday evening, and when the weather was pleasant. Starting with a high point: our server was really good. He was a very nice young man who let us know at the end of our meal that it was actually his first day on the job. While we could tell he didn't know everything about the menu - which is totally understandable given him being a new hire - he was kind, personable, and went above and beyond to provide excellent and timely service. As for the venue, it was nice although not upscale and that was just our speed for this evening. We loved having the room to sit comfortably at a setup that could comfortably seat 8. As for the food, it was decent although I wouldn't call anything I tasted fantastic. For apps, we shared 2 orders apiece of calamari, crab cakes, and lamb chops (6 apps total) with the chops being my favorite out of those. The calamari were small and didn't pack a lot of flavor but they were fried well. The marinara sauce that came with it was also fine but not remarkable. The crab cakes were a little mushy for our liking. For my entrée, I ordered the Lobster Rigatoni. There was plenty of lobster on top, the portion was more than solid, and it came out at the right temperature but the flavor again failed to really impress and was somewhere between "fine" to "good". For dessert, I ordered the chocolate lava cake, and I was truly disappointed by that. For starters, there was no gooey "lava" as the name implied, and the edges were dry and seemed overcooked. The flavor again fell a little flat and I didn't bother to finish it even though I am usually a huge fan of chocolate desserts. All in all, we had an enjoyable evening as a crew, but the food could be elevated a bit from a flavor standpoint. I would give the food a little better than a "3" but I think they have enough going for them that amping up the flavors could do wonders for their desirability and drawing more diners.
