Old Fashioned done right
Lavada N.

Wonderful to be back at a bar that knows for to mix! A truly delicious Dutch Kill Old Fashioned! Love the decor, food, drinks and owners.

Almost Summer Margarita in front of the Espresso Martini.
Joe H.

This place is a true diamond in the rough that is the growing Lindenhurst downtown. From their carefully curated adventure seeker décor, to their friendly welcoming small town bar service. We started our night here, to give our tastebuds their full range to experience the craftsmanship that follows their mixologist Jon. Their "Almost summer" margarita is a masterclass in balance and flavor, with just the right amount of sweet and tanginess combined with a pineapple garnish topped with toasted coconut that elevates the experience. But the real showstopper is the espresso martini - rich, smooth, and velvety, with a depth of flavor that will leave you wondering how they managed to pack so much complexity into a single glass. The attention to detail, decor and craftsmanship at Hunter and Thief is unparalleled, making it a must-visit destination for any cocktail enthusiast.

Quad letche cake!

Atmosphere: Saturday night ..music was over the top loud so patrons had to yell to hear each other...waitress was asked to lower the music which she obliged but it was still loud for this pretty small place Tables too crowded together. Service: waitress was excellent...she was the only one taking orders but she was not riled at all...and attentive. Limited food menu... Burger was good and so were the onion rings and French fries. Drink menu extension and very good. The atmosphere is the only thing stopping us from returning.... WAY TOO LOUD. Especially if you're going with friends to catch up.... Can't hear each other. Oh and one of the employees shaking up drinks walked by us and his body odor almost knocked me off my chair.

Oxacan old fashioned

Nice addition to the Lindy scene. Good atmosphere and strong drinks. For food get the bread and butter and for drinks I recommend the Reflection of Natural History. Slightly pricey but so is everything now. At least the quality is high so I'm ok with it. Park on the side street next to it and enjoy.

Drinks- non old fashion side
Allison F.

Seemed like a cool spot with cool drinks and food so we stopped into check it out. The space itself was amazing to look at, it even had a Photo Booth. I could see their vision immediately. Drink menu was as eclectic as the decor but not fairly balanced. 1/2 the menu was Old Fashions and the others were well curated but extremely tequila heavy. Im usually a vodka drinker when I go out but the more interesting drinks were the Old Fashions and the ones with tequila so I chose the most fabulous sounding drink on the menu which was called Reflections of Natural History (their version of a spicy strawberry margarita) I liked it, I didn't love it. I wasn't getting strawberry at all and was disappointed because the ingredient was supposed to be a fermented strawberry which I was looking forward to. Let's move on to the food. Again, on paper, eclectic and intriguing in theory but a little different in practice. We ordered the toast with peaches and ricotta, it had a nice smoky flavor but the peaches were not ripe so had no taste and the chili part was missing. It would have been perfect had the peaches and chili been right and where was the honey? We also ordered the empanadas which were ok, nothing special, and the zucchini. The zucchini, I don't know what they were thinking, it was just slightly grilled zucchini with a few tomatoes & onions with some whipped ricotta on the plate. The zucchini pissed me off a little bit because I could have thrown some zucchini in my air fryer and it would have been better than that. I can't believe we paid for that. This place has so much potential because it can be a whole vibe but the food needs work. They can keep the menu as is but they need to upgrade their ingredients in a major way.

Poutine

Second time here and it just keeps getting better. The poutine was awesome--the fries were loaded with gravy and cheese but still had that perfect crunch. Kinda wish there was a little more protein in the mix, but no complaints. The drink was so good it had me wondering why I don't come here more often. And our waitress was super friendly, really attentive, and even helped me figure out the menu around my food allergy.

Fun cocktails
Maureen D.

Stopped in on Saturday night Was able to sit at the bar. They have amazing cocktail menu ranging from $15-20 Not much beer options just two. Food was great we tried ricotta toast, hummus and the burger. All tasty and perfect size portion Looking forward to going back

This is truly a unique restaurant with beautiful views! The decor is like no other restaurant on the island that I have been to. Also, the cocktails were out of this world. The owners were also nice enough to give us a piece of birthday cake which was very appreciated! But seriously you must go here for a date or a birthday, it's a gem!

Menu

Consistently excellent, I'm not sure how they manage to make every visit a masterpiece in modern entertaining. This is a place we go when we need comfort food and uplifting & inspiring drinks. It's not so much a bar-restaurant as it has the feel more of a very cool person's extended living room cluttered with antiques, oddities, art and fresh flowers. A must go experience with standout burgers, fish & chips, fried chicken sandwich and delicious vegetarian options as well.

As I sit at the bar. This is the place you want to go instead of the city. They know how to make a cocktail. They make it in front of you. Supper fresh ingredients. The staff is amazing. The food. Is delicious. One thing bad is bread is hard. However I soaked that bad boy in the hummus and peach ricottas. Definitely coming back

Milk and Honey
Ivy G.

We are in Lindy and Hunter and thief has NEVER let us down. They are Easily the best cocktails on the south shore and I mean it if you're into mixology, THE BEST. They know what they're doing and appreciate the art of cocktails; it's not a front or fad. The owner has a well known reputation in competitions and is familiar with spots like death and co. etc. not to mention serves drinks by well known bartending gods such as the Jeffrey Morgenthaler. Anyways I drank a few old fashioned variations, especially the milk and honey WOW. The their amazing BUTTERBEER, as a die hard potter fan, it truly is an amazing version of universals. My husband had their classic natural history, and it always tastes like an upper class margarita. Not to mention he switched to their mystery beers which were so fun and different! Lastly the food has been upgraded.They have their own version of what feels like a classic Italian carbonara with guancaile in egg yolk. It's truly amazing and one of my husband's favorite plates since we visited Italy in 2022. I couldn't be happier we stuck with being local for our 3 year wedding anniversary, almost went to the green door... But MAN IM HAPPY WE DIDNT. In comparison Hunter and thief are far superior. Don't forget their adorable decor! Feels like in back in the city or at a bk speakeasy.

Here's the thing, if you have an open kitchen then just know that we will all be watching and when we can see he is on the phone and our food is getting charred and dry, we will notice visually and by taste. This is such a cool place with great ambiance too so the potential for something great is there because every drink, and we had 5, were amazing! I got the octopus as my main which the potatoes good but not hot and the octopus was overdone but not enough for me to not eat. Daughter got the filet tower and ordered it medium and got it well done and hubs got the gnocchi with chicken and the chicken was DRY and overdone. All had good flavor but were executed badly. The bartender took some off for how badly the chocken was cooked so again, Franco may be the savior! Best martini I've had was that olive oil pepper!!!

The location might seem small, but it's jammed packed with traditional flavors that are being executed to perfection. Can't believe I waited this long living in the neighborhood (2+yrs) to finally stroll in and experience what some might say is 'Pura Vida' or !Magnífico¡ Upon first visit, I had to try one of their margaritas and at least one 'Street food' menu item, so opted for their Pear Margarita and Birria Empanadas. Let's say Bravo, Brava and Encore to explore more of their menu. The cocktail was totally on point without being overpowering in any way, very balanced and brightly refreshing. The empanadas were deliciously crispy without being greasy, stuffed and sealed perfectly. Then opted to try their Mashed Potatoes Fries and requested a side of their advertised Shishito slaw seen topping another menu item. I loved the way they created and presented both. The fries were a perfect balance of soft but crisped with the creme drizzle and pickled onions. :* The Shishito slaw was a summery, crunch lightly dressed which has me wanting and requesting more the next visit. They should definitely add that as one of their regular listed sides. My husband had a burger with regular slaw and an old fashioned styled cocktail which he mentioned to be exceptional as well. Can't wait to dive deeper into their menu and would highly recommend to others.

My fiancé and I came here for lunch after our original choice was closed for a private event…read more We were the only ones there and it did take some time for our appetizer to come out. We had fried cheese which was described as "Crispy, Halloumi-Style Queso Freir, Topped with Tomato, Jalapeños, & Hot Agave." It was good, but not "blow me away" good. It came with 4 pieces, so not really enough to share with a large group. For my tacos I had the crispy pumpkin, sesame chicken and spicy pork. Out of the 3, the crispy pumpkin was my favorite. The sesame chicken and spicy pork were "basic" speciality tacos and nothing about them really set them apart from other establishments offering the same. The crispy pumpkin though...so unique and had great flavor. My fiancé had Ruby's signature bowl and added chorizo. He enjoyed it and it was a very generous portion. Service was decent.

I don't say this too often, but Ruby Soho's is perfection!…read more From the staff being awesome, Chris and Caitlin ((hope that's the way she spells it)) were beyond nice and professional. Always checking to see if our glasses needed to be filled or just seeing if we were still vibing. The music played is my type of tunes. Punk, Rock, and Emo... How could you go wrong?? Also the deco is raw, edgy and yet still welcoming. Surly a place you could chill for hours. They have a wide selection of beers on tap, and specialty drinks. And the food.. The food is of 5star quality. The shredded beef taco was seriously one of the best tacos I have ever had the pleasure of eating and the fried pickled jalapeños were surprisingly amazing. Far beyond what I expected... If you're in the area, I 100% say stop on in! You won't be disappointed!!

We were greeted by our waitress & seated immediately. Our waitress was quite attentive. She was a pleasure to have around, I forget her name but she's a petite woman with long black hair. There were only two other tables occupied at that time and a few ppl at the bar. First impression, a nice cozy restaurant full of bold colorful decor, nice sized bar, maybe 5-6 sections in total. Drinks: the passion fruit margarita was amazing! I love that they used fresh fruit in the drink. My father enjoyed a coconut drink and sister had a spicy margarita. All delicious My nephews did not enjoy the lemonade (not sweet) or sweet tea (also not sweet). Also, there is only one choice for the kids' menu so we ordered chicken fingers and fries for my 5 y/o nephew. FYI per the waitress every dish is cooked to order so be prepared to wait Appetizers: I wanted the cod fish fritters but was informed they were no longer available and will be removed from the menu. We ordered the trio of empanadas which consisted of 1 cheese, 1 chicken, & 1 beef. My hungry teenager devoured the meat ones and I split the cheese one with my nephew. All tasty, no complaints. Dinner: I ordered the passion fruit (wild caught) salmon served over shredded collard greens & yucca mash (small portion but full of flavor sorry forgot to take photo). Every one else ordered a beef meal and were pleased. FYI: gratuity was included on the bill, she deserved every $$. The owners did not come over to greet us but the waitress did an amazing job checking on us non stop and making sure drinks were refilled and plates were removed in a timely manner.
