I have been coming to Guy Anthony's for many many years. It used to be a small take-out joint across the street. They had coupons in the Pennysaver that were buy 1 meal, get 1 free. I was working the night shift at JFK and picked up dinner every week. I love their Chicken Piquante and that's what I return for, time after time. I stopped by last week-end after a long hiatus and sat right at the bar like I had never moved away. Guy asked me if I was still drinking Ketel Martinis and i smiled from ear to ear. It felt good to be back home. read more

Phenomenal food!!! Catering food is amazing as well...so so deliciou!! Worth each penny!!

I've only eaten here once, but my family swears by it. They go as often as possible. The exterior hints at a typical strip mall restaurant; but inside, it feels much more fancy. The bar is elegant and well stocked. The dining room is cozy. It feels intimate. The food was excellent. read more

Went to Guy Anthony's on a Saturday, 7:30 pm reservation. The live music was getting started and we sat down right away. The waiter and bus boy were very attentive. I had chicken bruschetta which was great! There was a mistake in the order so they gave us scallops with squid ink pasta, the latter I had never tried. It was so delicious! I would get it in the future. The veal special looked amazing; burrata on top! Would love to go back again soon! read more

Always love the veal masala here. A bit loud tonight and the piano is driving my lady and I crazy. I guess because we were sitting RIGHT in front of the damn thing. read more

Just left our 25th Wedding Anniversary party that was held here at "Guy Anthony's". Service was the best, food is always great (that is why we had the party there), and staff and owners were accommodating to all the special diet requests that were needed by our family & friends. If you haven't been there or need to have a party planned, visiting this place is a must!! read more

This spot can mess up raviolis, who in their right mind puts cucumbers in raviolis. Dishes do not correlate to their actual recipes. And the staff were not attentive at all! Had to wait over an hour to pay to leave the building. Do not come here unless you want to have a bad time. read more

My wife and I had dinner at Guy Anthony's in Merrick with 24 other people from our community. The atmosphere and food were great. The entertainment was awesome. Will be back again. read more

The food is delicious and the staff here is SO nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It is a beautiful restaurant and they are great with substitutions if asked. This is a hidden gem and they seem to have live music most weekends. Love it! read more

I had my daughters baby shower October 13th from 12-4, I can not express how accommodating Guy and the staff were!!!! The food was abundant and delicious! They were so helpful in my preparation from setting the tables with table runners for my decorations to making sure the fussiest of guests were satisfied and making sure we had everything we needed right down to trash bags for gift deris. I chose a sit down lunch with family style appetizers. My guests were remarking how the food kept coming and some had filled up on the appetizers opting to take their meal home. There is plenty of room for decorations, prop tables, cake and gift table as well as room to decorate on bar. They gave me pretty much free reign of the restaurant. I also loved it because it was private and intimate! to answer a few questions that were important to me I had a party of 55 how many tables and seating? 10-12 or 14-16 If your going to hang things bring suction cups. They will allow tape. They allow you in 1hour before event so be organized and have a working party with plenty of hands to help set up. I want to thank Guy and his fabulous staff for making this such a wonderful experience and creating memories that will live forever for our family and guests. p.s my husband and I have also been here on a Friday night to enjoy the ambiance and the wonderful food always a wonderful experience! read more

Tried this place for the first time after wanting too for a few months now since I frequent Newbridge Inn which is right across the street. As I entered I was pleasantly surprised at the ambiance. Low light, a lovely live piano player and a pretty much full house and bar. I was immediately greeted and sat at the bar. I placed my order of gnocchi with shrimp in a penne vodka sauce. I ordered a glass of white wine while I waited which was pretty good. It was about a 20-25 minute wait. As soon as I got home and dug in I did not regret my decision. The gnocchi was pillows soft and the shrimp cooked perfectly. The star was the sauce. I am very particular when it comes to penne vodka and they nailed it. I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes and dine in. read more

I hosted my daughter baby shower today it was fantastic they were so warm the staff they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed.the food was amazing I would highly recommend if anyone wants to have any kind of function to have it at guy Anthony!!!! Make sure you ask for Chris he was the best! read more

I gotta say that I am more impressed by this restaurant the more I go...a great local spot in the Merrick/Bellmore area that provides a really good atmosphere for date night. I don't care if your 18 or 95. I enjoy the piano player that is there on certain nights...he creates a great atmosphere. Food is tasty and reasonably priced. The bar is jovial and manager and employees are friendly and accommodating. read more

Guy Anthony's catered the US Swimming Junior National competition this year. Five straight days of bringing the spread to the pool breakfast, lunch, dinner. It was always delicious, timely, and served by an awesome crew of service-oriented staff. Well done! read more

We had a Bridal Shower at Guy Anthony's recently, and it is a really cute, intimate restaurant (we had the entire place to ourselves) and the food overall was really very good. I do recommend it for private parties! My only complaints were about the staff. They weren't very attentive. It was a sunday afternoon and the guys were in the back talking (and texting!) and we had to go and ask them to bring out more drinks, water, coffee. They also forgot to serve the cake for dessert. They charged us anyway and gave it to us to take home - it was delicious but I would have preferred if our guests could have enjoyed it as well! read more

This is a wonderful place for a shower. You get to use the whole place which is amazing. We went for dinner and it was fair and a bit expensive. Nice NY atmosphere if that is important to you. It is a bit noisy but that might not bother you. Probably great for catering as the food was good read more

One visit to this amazing place and it will be your new favorite spot. We received a gift card for Christmas and have been back at least once a week since. As soon as you walk in to the restaurant, you're warmly greeted with a smile by Guy. Sit at the bar and you're bound to become friends. Every meal we've had has been truly delicious!! AJ and Kenny will customize any dish to your liking. Everyone who works here makes you feel special. In addition there is musical entertainment many nights during the week which adds to the already amazing evening. Try it, you will be glad you did!! read more

First and foremost, food is very good. The decor and atmosphere is quite nice with one exception. Both occassions that I've been there for dinner, the pianist is there playing and it is NON STOP. The piano is lovely at first when it's in the background. After a few songs, he should take a break and give people a chance to talk without any distraction. The music is way too loud and it makes it hard to hear the person across the table. He walks around to take requests which is nice, but he needs to take more breaks. Our table of eight people actually decided that it's not best to go back there because the piano got very annoying after awhile. Several people were agreeing in the restaurant. read more

I came here for a shower about a month ago. I ordered a seafood pasta that was on the pre fix menu, just like several other people at my table did that day. When the pasta came out, myself and my neighbor included, couldn't help but notice how off the coloring was of the seafood -- along with how bad the smell that was coming off of the pasta was. It looked like the clam and mussel shells were still dirty from the bay they were picked out of and left to rot for a couple of weeks. Needless to say, it was sent back and we ordered chicken parms to be safe. I would not come back here, and I can't believe the chef served rotten seafood and thought nothing of it. Poor quality. I won't be recommending ! read more

I really think native islanders have no taste for food. Better off at Olive Garden. And the people go crazy for this place just like the my hero place across street. These places would last. 2 weeks in the Boros. Don't get it read more

I am so glad i'm only a walking distance from Guy Anthony's. The food, service and atmosphere make this one of my favorite local restaurants. The warm bread they service is delicious and the portions are big. If you are just in the mood for a drink they have a nice bar that faces the chefs so its fun to see what happens behind the scenes. Get the sangria, its really good. read more

Pretty, pretty, pretty good. I like the piano guy that comes around and asks you what you want to hear. Then he plays it. All while you're eating your dinner. That's cooll! I had the linguine and clams. Not great. A bit salty. I'm sure some people would like it more that I did. My family had some of the eggplant dishes and the chicken parm type stuff. They were all happy, and I was envious. If you're from LI and like that type of food, you'll like this place. Good service, the food came out quick, and the ambiance was nice. Parking is OK. I'd say give it a shot. read more

The owner is so friendly! Although seating in the restaurant is rather formal, you can have a more casual meal at the bar and engage in conversations with neighbors. The cheese calzone is amazing and even more delicious when grilled chicken is added. read more

Friends went here for dinner we met them for an after dinner drink. They all enjoyed the food. The place has a nice look to it and a nice bar space. read more

It's not too bad. It's pretty good. The dishes are big but its noisy in there and crowded when a band there. Prices okay. Will go back.

The restaurant is attractive looking. Four of us dined with a $25 off coupon. The other couple ordered Eggplant and Shrimp Parmigiana; they were quite happy with their selection, thus the two stars. I ordered the Chicken Florentino and my partner ordered Chicken Marsala. I was served a small piece of dry, paper-thin chicken, 5 bite-sized pieces to be exact, covered by a large, thin slice of of dry eggplant topped with cheese. I must say, the presentation was attractive. (It was then I found the dry piece of chicken hidden under the eggplant.) My partner found the Chicken Marsala serving to be dry, thin-sliced and not particularly good. Adding insult to injury, the linguine was served in a dark, red "gravy" that was old and bitter tasting; the heartburn later was unimaginable. The wait staff seemed numerous and adequately attentive. The musicians who supplied music from 40's and 50's were wonderful, not so all of the young singers who performed. The venue was small and intimate; the music loud, mainly because some of the singers equated loud with good and held the microphone "too close for comfort" and ended their numbers on a final screech! (We shuddered inwardly.) I particularly enjoyed the singer who sang "Let it sneoo (snow), let it sneoo (snow), let it sneoo". (I thought perhaps she was German which would account for the pronunciation.) For me this was perhaps the most enjoyable and memorable part of the evening. When all is said and done, we might come back for drinks and to enjoy the fine musicians. Hey, after all it's the holidays! . read more

I have been going to this establishment for over 6 years. I have ALWAYS gotten a good meal and treated great. Very KID friendly and whats great is both owners cook your food. I would say TOP NOTCH for Guy Anthony's. I have had two family parties of over 50 there and each one was better than the other!! The wine selection is also great!! Fridays and Saturdays are always busy but the wait is always short!! read more

Guy Anthony's is our special place. The food is presented well and is delicious. The atmosphere is great as well as the staff and the owners, Guy and AJ. The also have a piano player and singer twice a week. Their catering service is great for either large or small parties. We have had both experiences and we're happy with the results. Marie & Frank G. read more

I have eaten here with my family and the food is wonderful, fresh and reasonable prices.The service was very good. I also have had them supply all the food for my home party and it was great. Everything tasted wonderful and the portions were very generous. Once again the food was fresh, hot and the prices were fair. read more

Guy Anthonys is our go to place in Merrick. The food is great and the atmosphere is so much fun. They have live music 3-4 nights per week and the owners and staff treat you like family. Anybody who tries this place becomes a regular customer! read more

Linda G On May 2016. I had my daughter bridal shower a Guy Anthony and everyone commented on how nice the place was and staff and the food was delicious.

This past past weekend we had my sister's baby shower at Guy Anthony's. It was an event we will not forget. The staff was very welcoming from the day we booked the event up until the last guest left. The food was excellent. They were very accommodating, we had the restaurant as an exclusive event. It was a perfect private party. Just the right size. The guests were all extremely pleased. The feed back from the guests was nothing but being extremely pleased. They loved it. The shower moved along very smoothly and the price was right. But what really made the day was my sister was surprised and everyone enjoyed themselves. I want to thank Guy Anthony's for a memorable family event that was made special with the great staff, food and location at Guy Anthony's. This is a definite A+++ for a special occasion. read more

The food here is nothing more than edible but don't get me wrong... Even the small redeeming quality of that is thrown out the window when coupled Guy Anthony's painfully slow and abrasive staff. If you'd like to dine here, take my advice, don't spring for dessert or soup; they're both exorbitantly expensive for the canned or frozen, store bought product you will receive. And definitely don't use the ladies bathroom, the used razors just hangin out on the shelf will make you lose your appetite. Actually, now that I think about it, that might be for the best. read more

This little restaurant is an absolute neighborhood gem. The owners are always there and they put their heart and soul into their food preparation and service. We eat out a lot and this is one of my favorite restaurants. On Thursday and Saturday nights they have piano music which is really delightful. The piano player can play anything -- he is absolutely amazing. It is a really nice, comfortable place. I highly recommend it and have taken many friends there who are very particular. We have never been disappointed. read more

Very busy local spot. Average food and absolutely clueless service. Extremely noisy as well. Went here hoping to find a good local spot but I won't be coming back. read more

A little pricey but good food and an awesome staff. I would definitely go back to eat there

Food has always been good and the bread they bring out before the meal is really good. If you go on the right night an older gentlemen will be playing the piano and makes it a really cool environment read more

My sister had her daughter's christening here as well as catered a party. The food and service was wonderful! At the Christening, they were so flexible and willing to go above and beyond. I have an upcoming party and will definitely use them to cater. read more
