This was our first time at Shands since the location was the brewery. The restaurant is beautiful,…read moreand we were looking forward to celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary there. I expected more of a high-end dining experience, but it felt somewhat casual, especially where we were seated in the front section next to a window. The restaurant was fairly quiet, so perhaps they were keeping everyone in one section, but for an anniversary dinner I would have preferred the more formal dining area. I made the reservation through OpenTable, indicated that we were celebrating our 40th anniversary, and even sent a separate note to the restaurant. There was a small "Happy Anniversary" place card with our menus, which was nice, but unfortunately there was no other acknowledgment of our special occasion. I was also a little surprised by the menus. They had nice leather covers, but inside were several separate sheets of paper, which seemed unusual for a restaurant positioned as upscale. I ordered the three-course prix fixe special. The website listed it at $55, although I believe the restaurant menu said $57. I had the Korean wings, which were huge and very tasty, although extremely messy, followed by the salmon, which was good. My wife had the rigatoni and said it was very good. Overall, Shands is a beautiful restaurant and the food was good. I just expected a little more from the overall experience, particularly since we were celebrating such a special milestone

When in search of a place that would make my family of picky eaters happy (ie: a vegan, a…read morevegetarian, a traditionalist, and two that try to make the other three happy but like good food), WhiskeyNeat appeared like a gods-send on Yelp. I've been to Main Street Patchogue a few times before and I'm always amazed at how it's now like Huntington, with tons of eateries, bars and places to hear live music. It was a busy late Spring Friday night and my cousin told me if we were there just two weeks later (ie, post Memorial Day), there would have been lines to get in anywhere. So make resos! I made one easily earlier that day and when we arrived around 7:30, it was not packed, but it is pretty loud in there even half full. Our waiter, Jonathan, expertly took such great care of us from start to finish, even taking my father's dad jokes in stride. There's a solid cocktail menu, but I had a couple glasses of a better-than-decent prosecco. My cousin loved his espresso martini. For food, count on a couple respectable vegan entrees and I went with the Japanese eggplant with cashew ricotta. The eggplant is delicious, slightly sweet with a creamy rather than chewy (thank god) texture. The cashew ricotta is also tasty, but I do think it needed to be blended a bit more to remove the slightly grainy texture (the cashews might have needed more soaking). My father loved his French onion soup and pastrami sandwich. Separate paragraph for the fries. They deserve it. I'm glad we ordered these to share- it's an enormous platter of them. I appreciated that they were salted perfectly. I appreciate restaurants that can make satisfy a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. The vibe here is festive and vibrant and a great choice for groups and families.

Upon entering I was greeted by what seemed to be the entire staff, which pleased me me . The decor is classic and dimly lit. Making the atmosphere very intimate and inviting. We were greeted by our Waiter(not a server) who diligently explained the evening special. He took our cocktail order and listened intently because I I am a particular customer who demands my Martini just so, in other words....a pain in the ass. The bartender actually came to our table for me to make sure he made my Martini correct. Wow! My Bride Robin ordered the Classic Country style chicken , I ordered the Duck which was usually served with a peach chutney, I asked if the chef would be so kind to make me a orange glaze sauce , he was more than willing to do so. Needless to say both dishes were impeccable and wonderfully prepared. After our main course I ordered a Sambuca with coffee beans and we both ordered the Crème Brûlée garnished with fresh Raspberries and a spearmint sprig. voilà voilà voilà!!! This dinning experience was comparable to the best houses in Manhattan if not better. I am a traditionally trained Chef and I was obliviously beyond impressed. It is my personal opinion that this restaurant is an incredibly hidden culinary gem here in Patchogue . I implore you to not let the opportunity to dine here pass you by. To the owner and entire staff... I say KUDOS to a job well done . Thank you and you may look forward to seeing myself and my family in the very near future.

Try the delicious burgers and the best wings I have ever had on Long Island. Crispy/tender and just the right size. 20 oz Porterhouse for under $30? Nice sandwiches too and standard pub fare like Shepherd's Pie and Meatloaf! Daily specials too. Don't expect linen napkins and foo-foo white gloved service: they have casual dining with small tables and it can get crowded/loud. It's perfect during the week and for the burger lunch special where you can join the colorful locals who adorn the bar. I wish that I could give it 6 stars since we've eaten here for years and never had a bad meal or experience.

We do love the restaurant as mentioned, and will be happy to return to give them another shot. Thanks for providing the exceptional service that keeps us wanting to come back. We appreciate you!* There was so much to love about this restaurant. The atmosphere was lively, music was great, sunset was beautiful, and the food was good. Our waitress was phenomenal -- sweet, accommodating and attentive despite how busy it was. Other staff members were wonderful too. Unfortunately, our interaction with the manager put a serious damper on an otherwise great evening. We made our OpenTable reservation a week in advance and noted that we'd have our 5-lb Yorkie, requesting outside seating if possible because we weren't sure where dogs were permitted. We weren't being picky and understood it was Labor Day weekend. When we arrived, the hostess explained that our reserved table was inside, so we'd need to wait for a dog-friendly table. She said we'd have priority because we had a reservation. No problem! We got drinks at the outdoor bar and didn't wait long. When another woman eventually seated us, I smiled, said hello and thanked her. She gave me what I can only describe as a dirty look. I shrugged it off, assuming she was stressed because they were busy. Our waitress was fantastic. A busser even kindly offered our dog a water bowl. We ordered drinks and an appetizer and were enjoying ourselves when the woman who seated us suddenly came over, threw water down at the foot of my fiancé's chair and said, "You know your dog is marking up our chairs!" To be completely clear: our tiny Yorkie had urinated on the leg/base of an OUTDOOR chair. He did NOT defecate anywhere. We were eating and hadn't noticed him briefly lift his leg underneath the table. We weren't upset that she told us -- we were stunned by HOW she handled it. Had she simply said, "Excuse me, your dog urinated on the chair," we would have apologized and immediately addressed it. Instead, she threw water beside my fiancé's chair while he was eating and spoke to us in an unnecessarily hostile manner. This is an outdoor dining area at a restaurant that allows dogs, and your own staff had just offered our dog water. If dogs are welcome, situations involving them should be handled professionally. If you don't want dogs there, don't allow them. Our dog is five pounds, quiet and friendly. Other guests and children were stopping by our table to pet him. Had we not already ordered dinner, we would have paid for our drinks and appetizer and left after this interaction. Unfortunately, it didn't end there. My fiancé ordered a filet with a $9 upcharge for hollandaise sauce. The sauce didn't arrive with his steak, so he began eating before it got cold. When the same woman walked by, he mentioned the missing sauce. Instead of apologizing, she said, "Yeah, that can come out later." A $9 sauce ordered for a steak should arrive WITH the steak. He told her he no longer wanted it. She said okay but apparently never communicated that, due to being too busy chatting standing around with others. A busser later brought it and we had to reject it. Our evening cost approximately $200. Expecting our complete meal to arrive together and expecting to be treated respectfully are not unreasonable expectations. I told our waitress about the interactions while making it VERY clear none of this reflected on her. That's when we learned this woman was actually the MANAGER. Our waitress was extremely apologetic, although she had nothing to apologize for. She did her job beautifully, and we made sure to tip her well in cash. That's what makes this so disappointing. This restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere, decent food and phenomenal staff. The person who negatively affected our experience was the person who should have been setting the standard. Yes, customers should be responsible for their pets, and we would have immediately addressed the situation had we noticed. But these are outdoor tables and chairs exposed to birds, squirrels and other animals. The hostile reaction to a five-pound dog briefly lifting his leg was unnecessary. There is a right and wrong way to address an issue. Speak to your customers like human beings. Throwing water beside someone's chair while they're eating and speaking to them disrespectfully is unacceptable. To our waitress and the other hardworking staff: THANK YOU. You were wonderful. To the manager: your staff is phenomenal. You should consider taking some customer-service training from them.

But this time I went with their steak sandwich and it was everything. I'm still dreaming about it. Snacking on a side of fries on our way home was the perfect ending to the day as they have amazing fresh French fries and I'm not a fry person. Also their version of burger sauce is pretty in point. I hope the place is as it was when I used to hang there. A quick in and out didn't allow me to assess but I would be down to grab a bit here when in the area.
