HAD MY 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN!!!!!…read more This was only my second time here but my first visit made such an impression that I had to celebrate my big day here!! I started my party planning with a previous employee but upon getting in touch with the owner TOMMY, everything went off without a hitch!!! My host/server MICHELLE T. was truly amazing!!!!! She orchestrated my party like a pro, checked-in frequently with me, perfectly timed my chosen courses and paid careful attention to ny birthday cake and cupcakes I brought in. I loved all their party options, they truly have something for everyone. If you want afternoon, brunch or dinner times, you can literally have dozens of different selections for your entire party courses, I hope to have a future celebration here, and try even more delicious choices. Valet parking was a great plus, location is also very convenient from Queens and Suffolk counties. Defintely check them out if you're looking for a weekend brunch, romantic dinner or a family celebration.

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.

All pastas are handmade, Neapolitan pizza second to none, outstanding Italian wines with some Napa ones thrown in as well.

Great cocktail menu and they have Moretti beer one of my favorites.

4.8 star review…read more First time visiting. I love the environment, design, bar, and white table cloths. Only small issue was the music was a little too loud - hard to hear conversations. I had the wedge salad and asked for it to be chopped. Done. Then I had Chicken Marsala. My husband and friend had salad with salmon and the roasted chicken. Overall, the food was delicious! Service attentive. I'd go back but I'd take someone with whom I didn't want to have a conversation - too loud. Haha Otherwise it would have been a 5 star review. The food and friendly service were great.

Today the service was appallingly slow. We arrived after the lunch rush 1:30pm and after being…read moreseated waited at least 30 minutes for our water and lunch order. Bread baskets came out to 3 tables that arrived after us, we had completely empty water glasses and no one coming by to ask for more water. It took a long time for our food to arrive, meanwhile people who sat after us got served. There was also some confusion about which server was responsible for our table. We heard they were short a server but honestly, where was the manager? Every table suffered from a lack of service. We were down to our last bites of food when our server finally showed up to check on our meal. For the food: the salmon with the curry sauce was good, however the sauce had no sign of curry...more of a soy sauce flavor. I was disappointed as that was why I ordered it. Two of us got that. The 3rd person got the fried fish sandwich for $26 that Henry's could have done a better job. It's too bad that the man who appeared to be the manager seems to be doing nothing. Any restaurant with this kind of situation should have had a manager walking around, perhaps doing a small dessert or something that made customers feel better about the lack of service. Members of our family have been here many times but seriously rethinking coming again for a while.

We are lucky to have such an amazing restaurant nearby!

Then choice of salad and entree (duck, chicken, filet mignon, or salmon) with a delicious dessert. They opened the restaurant on a Tuesday night for us.

Incredible! The absolute best and unique plates I've ever tasted. Chef Rob didn't reinvent the crab…read morecake, he reimagined it. Chunks of crab between 2 pieces of toasted perfection. The other elements of the M&M sampler, you will have to try to believe. The grilled octopus. I have never tasted such light and airy octopus. It's as if it's a whole other species. Mind blown. Boar pappardelle - this dish belongs on chopped. The balance of seasoning on this dish is exquisite. The hand cut pasta married with a nice sweet sauce mixed with a surprising amount of boar comes together to sing on the palette. King salmon - gorgeous piece of fish served next to a fresh and tangy slaw while a sweet delight of a tomato rests on the opposite side. Another amazing element is the actual chef bringing out dishes. You actually get to see the man behind the meals. The brains behind the flavors. It's an honor to be in the presence of such talent. The restaurant itself is very cozy. Atmosphere is calm and the mood lighting does its job well. This is a must visit. I personally waited far too long to give it a try

We really enjoyed this restaurant!…read more I had a wonderful tequila cocktail I enjoyed immensely. The food was also very interesting and different. They have different kinds of lobster rolls that seemed popular with others but we didn't try. We did try the salad with breaded avocado which was really good and interesting. The octopus was perfectly cooked and very tasty. The service was also very friendly and the chef came out to check on folks.

Thankfully they have enlarged the portions of the dips to sharable sizes! We get a bunch of small plates to share and then share the big plates as well! The service is inconsistent, however, and more than once i've had to get up to hunt down a server. We waited over 15 minutes for our drinks and then they were brought out one at a time! Then, several times they brought us items meant for another table. They let our drinks go dry, and that can't be good for business. The servers were always sweet and apologetic, but we were never quite sure who our server was.

A few favorites we never skip: the meatballs, calamari, baked clams, Brussels sprouts, and cheese platter. We recently went to one of their monthly wine dinners--this one was "America the Beautiful"--and it was honestly outstanding. The presentation was beautiful, the wine pairings were spot on, and Alex shared just the right mix of wine knowledge, winemaker stories, and history to keep it fun and interesting. And as always, Kylie, Ana, and the rest of the staff made us feel so welcome. Great food, great vibes--can't wait to go back.

I'm a big fan of the WHILE IN KATHMANDU in Ridgewood, Queens, but have only been there once because…read moreparking is horrendous in that area. I was so happy to hear that they opened another restaurant in Glen Cove! Plenty of street parking is available, and they even have a shared parking lot in back of the restaurant! I parked in the back, and entered the restaurant via the backdoor! Note that there are stairs at the back entrance, so if you can't do stairs, it's best to park in front of the restaurant. This Glen Cove locations is lovely; beautiful murals and great vibes. I was shocked and sad to see it so empty on a Saturday evening! I hope more people give this place a chance because the food and service is great! This was our Shared Menu (plenty for 2ppl, and we had leftovers): -- Water Buffalo Momos w.Chili Sauce (8pcs/$18): the Momos were tasty; the meat was very lean. I would skip the Chili sauce next time. I didn't like the sweet and sour taste of the sauce, so next time I'd like to try the steamed Momos with Johl sauce instead. -- Choila Roti "Not a Taco" with Jackfruit (2pcs/$12): Not a Taco but similar to a taco. This was delicious and I'd get this again. We choice the Jackfruit version but they also have a chicken version. -- Masala Wings (Sauteed wet version) (4pcs/$11): I remember really liking the wings when I was at the Ridgewood location but couldn't recall which wings we had. On this visit, we had the wet version which was good but I realized that I like their dry version better. -- Grilled Lamb Chops w.Timur Sauce, Veggies & white rice (2pcs/$25): Surprisingly, this was my least fave dish of the night. I normally love lamb chops but these chops didn't really have a nice seared taste to them. The texture was a little off for me. Also, it was very boney with not much meat. I would try another entree next time. All in all, a good meal! I found the large selection of appetizers more interesting than the entrees, and would have been happy just sharing a bunch of appetizers and small plates. Customer service was welcoming and friendly! It was a pleasure to chat with the owner. Nice addition to the neighborhood!
