The shishito peppers were blistered just right with great flavor and a little kick. Simple, but done well. The smash burger was the standout. Cooked perfectly with a great sear, juicy inside, and topped with melty cheese and pickles that balanced everything. Add the truffle fries and it was game over. Crispy, flavorful, and generously seasoned. The Greek salad was fresh and bright, with good quality feta and olives. A solid, refreshing balance to the heavier dishes. Service was exceptional. Attentive without hovering. The decor is warm and stylish, great energy without being too loud.

Everything was flavorful and delicious. Most of our party enjoyed the bourbon burger, I loved my buffalo chicken flatbread and the strawberry waffle was also amazing.

Can't wait to come back and try other dishes.

As expected, they've finally expanded to Long Island in Glen Cove. Looks like the one in Jackson Heights but taller ceilings and less noisy. This might be the first time it was not someone's birthday (IYKYK) during service. It was just the wife + I so we stuck with the Matador Combo. If you've never had it, you get their famous chicken, an avocado salad, salchipapas (fries + hot dogs), plantains (sweet or savory) and rice/beans. We got a glass of sangria which is always classic and I tried the Marucaya (passionfruit) Sour and both were very tasty. I felt like the food comes out here FAST and the chicken was HOT. Possibly the best experience I've had at Pio Pio since the very first time I tried it in Jackson Heights. When they were in the tiny space that Amaru is in before they moved across the street. We'll probably go to this one from now on. Everything from the space, service, drinks and food were perfect. It's not that often when I leave a restaurant and everyone box was checked but tonight it was. I'd like to come back with more people so I can try some of the other items on the menu.

I tried the "eat jerk, don't be one", havana night empanadas and the strawberry matcha. The eat jerk dish had jerk chicken, rice, coleslaw, plantains, mac salad, corn and rice with cilantro aioli. It looks small but it's hearty meal that's full of flavor. I would def get it again. Empanadas were stuffed with pork and pickles with mustard on the side and a side of rice and black beans. The beans had a little bit of a kick. The strawberry matcha was good. It was topped with a strawberry foam which I think is better than syrup or jam. They also have salads and panini's that were tempting. Will give them a try next time.

Mind you I don't leave bad reviews. Hardly ever. Really I don't even review much unless it's reallly reallly good or reallly reallly bad. Unfortunately this was the latter. And it literally started at the front door. Show up for our 7:45 reservation. We were told our table would be ready in a few minutes. At 7:50 an older couple came and were immediately seated in front of us as we were waiting. As a chef in nyc, I know the restaurant business inside and out. This was a huge no no. After another 5 minutes we were sat....outside. When reserving I specifically asked to be sat inside. No biggie on that I get it restaurants get packed. This is where it gets bad. 25 minutes before a waiter even sniffed at our table. And in fact the waiter never came, a manager came and saw us being unattended and asked us for our order. So from the time we sat till my girlfriend's first glass of wine was 40 minutes. Our server must have put us on the back burner. Never even asked us our dinner was. Terrible. But when the check came and I presented my card he made it back to the table in under 2 minutes. This place is all hype. It's good for if you're in your 20s and want to pay for overpriced drinks and bad service with a dj in a cool setting. Cause the place is awesome it really is. It's just a shame the owner hired so many incompetent people to run it. No matter they will still do good...it's Long Island. They can get away with what they are doing here.

Since we were in Glen Cove, we decided to give this place another try, but I honestly regret it. I…read moretried to make a reservation online, but the system showed no tables were available. However, when I called the store, I was able to get a reservation right away. I expected it to be packed, but when we arrived, the restaurant was almost empty, there was only one person in the dining area and two at the bar. We ordered a Corona, a lemonade, an apple juice, and a coconut margarita. The margarita was very small for the price and didn't have much coconut flavor. For dinner, we had the fajitas, a steak bowl, three cheese quesadilla for the kids, and the chorizo-loaded fries. The fries were the only thing I actually enjoyed. The fajitas and steak bowl lacked authentic flavor, and for $50, the platter only had three shrimp and a few pieces of steak and chicken buried under a huge pile of peppers and onions. To top it off, we waited 10 minutes for the churros after asking to sing 'Happy Birthday' to my daughter. For $250, this experience was definitely not worth it, and we won't be returning. Ya que estábamos en Glen Cove, decidimos darle otra oportunidad a este lugar, pero sinceramente me arrepiento. Intenté hacer una reserva en línea, pero el sistema decía que no había mesas disponibles. Sin embargo, llamé al restaurante y pude reservar de inmediato. Esperaba que estuviera lleno, pero cuando llegamos, el lugar estaba casi vacío; solo había una persona en el comedor y dos en la barra. Pedimos una Corona, una limonada, un jugo de manzana y una margarita de coco. La margarita era muy pequeña para el precio y casi no sabía a coco. De comer, pedimos fajitas, un tazón de carne (steak bowl), una quesadilla de queso para los niños y las papas con chorizo. Las papas fueron lo único que disfruté. Las fajitas y el tazón de carne no tenían un buen sabor mexicano; por $50, el plato solo traía tres camarones y unos pocos pedazos de carne y pollo bajo una montaña de cebollas y pimientos. Para colmo, esperamos 10 minutos por los churros después de pedir que le cantaran 'Feliz Cumpleaños' a mi hija. Por $250, definitivamente no valió la pena y no volveremos.

Warning to Diners: Bad Food, Worse Service -- and a Sketchy OpenTable Cancellation!…read more We hardly ever eat at neighborhood restaurants since we're in the City most of the time, but we were staying in the neighborhood this weekend, so we decided to give a local spot a try. I rarely leave negative reviews, but tonight's experience deserves a warning to others. What was supposed to be a simple dinner turned into one of the most unsettling dining experiences we've had. My husband and I ordered the pork chop and the chicken pot pie. The pork chop started out fine until we reached a section that smelled foul--a strong, rotten odor with a reddish interior totally different from the cooked part we had already eaten. We both noticed it immediately. When we told the female waiter, someone from the kitchen who maybe the owner eventually came out, only to dismiss us and insist he didn't smell anything. The tone was snobbish and condescending, and there was zero concern that we had already eaten part of something potentially unsafe. At the very least, he should have asked how he could make it right--but he didn't. The pork chop was only removed from the bill after my husband said he would not pay for it. That should never be a negotiation. The chicken pot pie was completely ordinary, and the cornbread topping was dry to the point of being unpleasant. Between the questionable food and the even more questionable customer service, this place left a terrible impression. Neighbors be warned!!! Addendum -- Diners, Please Read / OpenTable, Please Take Note Our reservation was for 6:30. After getting home at 7:50, I went to leave this review on OpenTable--where we made our reservation--only to find that our reservation had been canceled at 7:48 PM, after we had already eaten there. Because of that, we have no record of dining and cannot leave a review on their platform! I had no idea a restaurant could do this. It feels extremely sketchy, especially since canceling a reservation like that conveniently prevents guests from posting an unfavorable review. No wonder the OpenTable rating looks so high. This isn't just disappointing -- it's something OpenTable should be aware of. If restaurants can erase reservations after the fact, it undermines the entire review system that diners rely on. Consider this a warning to future guests and a call for OpenTable to look into this practice.

Service is attentive (shout out to Louis, who brought us our dessert, and Dario for being an excellent server!). We started with the stuffed mushrooms, a generous portion of 5 pieces with a perfectly prepared sauce.

Shrimp scampi and chicken marsala rounded out our main meal, and were both excellent choices.
