Food was excellent, a bit overpriced. Service was excellent. Great ambiance with seating outside.

Went there a few times this past summer and each time food and service was impeccable! The mussel appetizer is amazing and one of the reasons I kept going back! Always so hard to try different things as each dish is so delicious and I always want to get it again. The food is always delicious and can't wait to return! read more

La Plage Wading River - Parpadelle pasta - French Near Me - Wading River, New York

I'm not surprised about how incredible this meal was but it still seemed to somehow surpass my expectations. Each meal lead us on a delicious journey of warmth and wonder. Where most people choose to sit in the front for ocean views and sunset we opted for the best table in the back over looking the dear grazing in the marshy meadow. Fantastic romantic meal that we will be back for. read more

Dined at La Plage for the first time last night. Beautiful location. We all enjoyed our meals (lobster special, fluke and Osso bucco) Tasty special cocktail beverages as well. Like many restaurants, La Plage appeard short staffed but everyone was pleasant and helpful. I will return to La Plage for certain. Thumbs up! read more

While I have heard wonderful things about this restaurant, I have never personally dined at La Plage. My first experience was my recent To-Go order that I placed during this pandemic. Pulling up to the restaurant, I could not believe how beautiful the location was. La Plage is situated directly across from the beach. I ordered the green apple salad and the beet salad - both were so fresh and so unbelievably delicious. I have been brainstorming how I can recreate the green apple salad at home! I ordered the horseradish crusted salmon and the sauteed broccolini - both were so tasty. It seemed only natural that I take my dinner across the street and eat while watching the sunset. It was perfect. Although the meal was pricey, the portions were very generous. The only complaints I have are that the restaurant does not give bread with their take-out orders. They also do not provide any utensils so be sure to bring your own! read more

Lovely restaurant right on the Long Island sound. Ambience and decor was nice, bright, clean, and cozy... not a big place at all. Two main rooms, very small bar, if you can even call it a bar. Food was delicious and very fresh and carefully prepared. Drinks and bread were great, and the desserts, especially the sorbet, were incredibly flavorful. I had the beef carpaccio app with a swordfish entree, which were excellent. But the real stars of the night was the staff and management, who were pleasant, polite, friendly, highly accommodating and attentive, professional, and made us feel very welcome. Service was on point throughout. Easily evident this is a well run operation, and it showed. For us, it was a little tough to get to from the LIE, and really in a remote location of LI, but a special little establishment that we will certainly be returning to. read more

The food is amazing. This is our birthday and anniversary place. The ambiance is very homey and welcoming

What a beautiful restaurant. The food is nothing short of amazing, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive and the story behind the restaurant is compelling. La Plage. The beach. read more

Food was perfect. Ambiance was very nice. The service was great during the meal but we were very frustrated with a parking ticket for $100 after leaving the restaurant. We saw a sign for overflow restaurant parking in a little beach lot. We didn't know it was only certain color spots. I'm sure this has happened to others and when making a reservation they should tell you at that time "hey.. just remember parking in beach lot only yellow spaces.." read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. Good food, drinks and service. I will definitely be coming back

Beautiful location across from the beach in Wading River. The food is consistently delicious.

Meh. Went there a few times and they allowed me to hang outside with my dogs on a day sofa in the parking lot while a server brought us drinks. That part was cool. Till one day a lady came out and said "no no no, this is NOT happening! You can't have dogs here". I explained that we have done this a few times and it was never a problem with staff and she said nope, this never happened you guys need to leave. Okay then, nice courtesy, thanks. read more

Food is delicious . Service is great but it's a little dark and tight . A nice place for a date night

Great people, food and service are great! IMHO! Always accommodating. Friendly beach atmosphere.

We arrived at this quaint restaurant across from the beach. The pics with let you think it's on the beach but no. There's a beach parking lot separating you and the view if you're seated outside. We sat outside, it was cooling down from a long day of humid hot sun. Was very nice except for the biting flies and such but they were prepared with bug spray! Yeh! Everything looked great on the menu. We started with a Cali white. Pretty nice. Apps was a lobster, crab ricotta ravioli in a light sauce. It's was ingested so fast...not even time for photo. Excellent dish. Along with raw oysters and clams. These were fresh but tiny. Then again it's August. As we were waiting to order we saw plates and plates of people ordering the Lobster special, the wonderful aroma was making our heads turn as the servers passed by delivering the entree to the next table. Of course we had to try it to see if it was as good as it looked. It was actually even better than expected. The buttered lobster was cooked to perfection and I mean perfection. Just to the point of doneness. Tender, seasoned well. Accompanied by a creamy risotto. There's always a chance with lobster to be over cooked and over salted. This was absolutely perfect. Probably the best I've had, ever. The filet mignon med rare. Could have been slightly more on rare but very good nonetheless. The mashed potatoes and portobellos were perfected paired. The Duck Confit was nice, duck was nicely prepared over risotto. The risotto was a bit over salted. Texture a little too l'dente for me. Dessert was crème brûlée, perfect tap to break the sugary crust. The custard was so creamy. Perfect ending to a wonderful night. And Green Apple sorbet, just lovely. Light and refreshing. Summer delight. The service was so great, attentive. Merger had to look for someone for anything. Excellent. But got better...across at the beach, they had an outdoor movie night on a big screen playing Finding Nemo. Movies goers brought the beach chairs and cooler for movie night. The even had a pretzel stand and a swing set for the little ones. I normally never give 5 stars because there's always room for improvements and there probably may be but not tonight. read more

La Plage is back and better than ever! Wow! Many of you may argue that they never left but for someone who's been there North of 10x in my life, with the first one being over 15 years ago, they've had their ups and downs food wise IMO and they are definitely not only on their way up, but killin' it right now. And here's why: Apps: + Roasted Bay Scallops. $15. Sweet Butter / Fresh Herbs / Caviar. Served in their half shell, fantastic...and beautifully presented. It's all about the sweet butter... + Creamy Rutabaga Soup. $10. Honey Crisp Apple Puree / Rosemary Croutons. When was the last time you had rutabaga soup? It's been forever for me and the soup really hit the spot...especially on a nice crisp evening. The apple puree was a nice touch...not something you'd immediately think of, but the apple sauce'esque flavor was just awesome. Croutons were good but I don't think it really needed it...though from a texture and herb perspective, I see why they did it. Entrees: + Ancho Braised Lamb Shank. $31. Squash Risotto / Swiss Chard / Toasted Walnut Gremolata. My picture I've posted on the review is worth tens of thousands of words...the lamb shank fell right off the bone with a little touch of your fork, the squash risotto was exquisite, and the chard was great accompaniment under the lamb shank. It was a much needed green as well as an Earthy/hint of bitter flavor that the dish needed due to the richness of the risotto and the shank + Butter Poached Lobster. Baby Bok Choy / Mascarpone Orzo / Yellow Squash / Black Sesame Ginger. $43. It was a 1.5lb lobster butterflied and served (half) on top of the risotto and the bok choy. The lobster was perfectly cooked (and just succulently undercooked) with the risotto providing the much needed richness that lobster craves. The bok choy was good as well...great dish, and very filling. + Pan Roasted Branzino. $32. Chorizo sausage / sardinian cous cous / roasted peppers swiss chard / little neck clams / saffron. We ordered it extra crispy and mannnnnnnnn was that skin delicious. The cous cous was perfect as well as the sausage that provided the much needed salinity to this dish. Thankfully, they didn't over salt anything and in fact, only had some nice finishing salt on the extra crispy skin. All together, the dish lent itself well to the salt from the cured pork meat (chorizo) sliced on your plate... + Evening Ravioli Special. $x.xx ($25-35?) Fantastic squash filling / ravioli (IIRC), perfectly undercooked (al dente obviously) and topped with grated cheese, chives, and pulled beef. Soooooooo delicious....that ravioli just hit the spot. You don't need to eat more than one (you can if you'd like) to have it just hit all the right senses... Location: + Yes, they have their own parking lot, it's located steps from Wading River Beach (hence, La Plage, which means "The beach" in French, how fitting). They feature a nice sized welcome bar in the hostess vestibule area for which they can whip up some great cocktails for you that are priced decently. Not the usual $16-18 you pay for Longuyland cocktails nowadays... There were 3 of us and we split several dishes as you can see...we ordered a bottle of Grgich 2010 Cab Sauv for $130 (IIRC) and managed to spend almost $600 for the evening. Very pricey, but very well worth it. Make sure you sit with KELLY and tell her I sent you - she's a fantastic server! The best I've had at La Plage... THIS has been a review by Gaurav read more

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I'm plant based so I called ahead to see if the chef could accommodate and boy the could! Starting off with the most delicious homemade bread at the table, la plage did not disappoint. The prices are high but it is well worth it. It's a cozy little place with professional servers. They made me a pesto pasta with delicious vegetables. My father ordered the cheese tray and the salmon and constantly throughout his meal was saying how good everything was, he didn't want to finish his plate because it was so good. I ordered the jalapeño margarita and coconut margarita and both were very strong and delicious. I will definitely be back again on a special occasion. read more

We had quite a good experience here. Food: the restaurant served from a fixed price menu. The soup was merely okay, but both the Branzino and seafood pasta exceeded expectations. The dessert was more beautiful than it was tasty, but still quite unique. Allow me to strongly recommend the pappardelle pasta with shellfish, I am confident that you will not regret ordering it. The wine pairing was done well, too. My Merlot-like wine was exquisite with my meal. Service: extremely responsive staff. Absolutely no complaints. Decor: this is a relatively small restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot appeared quite full even though only two tables seemed to be occupied...odd? The beach across the street is gorgeous; we even went across to play on the swing a bit before heading back home. I sure hope to return to try the chef's other options. Totally blown away by the fact that Wading River has such a high quality French-style restaurant! read more

American. This place has had a good reputation and when some friends suggested we all meet out there, it seemed like a good idea. The place is a long way out but situated in a nice setting steps from Long Island Sound. If it wasn't for the old nuclear power plant sitting a few hundred yards away, it might even be more romantic. Since you don't see the nuke plant you tend to forget about it... until you leave again. The setting is done in mild tones and although the place is small, you have enough room between the tables so that you are not sitting up against anyone else. Nautical themed paintings adorn the walls. The food selection was decent and it would all seem to be from fresh ingredients. That being said however, I simply wasn't wowed by any of it. I doubt I was having an off night so when I surveyed the rest of my group, the consensus seemed to be the same: decent, but nothing spectacular. So what does that leave? A nice scenic view and high costs for dinner. We weren't really hitting the booze and the bill averaged out to about $100 per person with tip included. Tres high for a non-mind blowing meal. I would not especially recommend this place unless you went for cocktails at sunset or something like that. It is simply not worth the haul out there when there are so many better places on Long Island. Parking around the perimeter. read more

Very nice . Service was very good ! Was expensive. I would give it 4.5 stars as there is always room for improvement. Can't go wrong here!!!

La Plage is always amazing! Beautiful views of the sound out front and the preserve area behind the restaurant. The place is small and intimate with a very classy atmosphere with local Jax gyotaku fish-printing paintings (for sale) hung on every wall. Friendly hostesses and servers, and the best-quality food served on beautiful dish ware. We ordered: Appetizers: Beef carpaccio & Octopus salad Entrees: Bacon-wrapped shrimp over risotto & Shellfish over pappardelle pasta Dessert: Blueberry crumble and vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel Everything was perfect as always, including special requests. The only thing I wish is that they would change their menu a little more based on the seasons--the menu has been the same for at least the last year & a half (they do add specials). Usually fine dining places such as this tend to change up their selections a little more. While I love what is on the current menu, it would be great to either add more or have the menu rotate throughout the year. If you visit in the summer, try the beautiful outdoor seating. If you are coming from the beach, change first--this is an upscale restaurant. While jackets are not required, flip-flops and bathing suits do not fit in here. La Plage is an absolute must-try! Definitely worth the drive! read more

Our favorite place on the island. Pesto mussels are outstanding. Always fresh and amazing!

Ive been here a few times. I did like what I had each time. Their Osso Bucco was very good and I enjoyed their Rigatoni. They certainly know how to cook. I just don't think their prices are perfectly aligned with what they offer. The setting is very romantic and a good spot to celebrate Valentines Day or an Anniversary. read more

Favorite spot hands down! Food, staff, and atmosphere are all amazing!! Best mussels I've ever had ... bread and butter too

Went last night for our 35th wedding anniversary and we're so pleased with the service right down to parking. Fred was so helpful as well as a young women who 's name I didn't get... we were between 2 bottles of wine and he explained each, both sounded nice and we had a hard time deciding. The food was delicious and our seats provided a nice view of the water. When we were leaving they gave us the other bottle of wine with an Anniversary wish! Just the sweetest people!

Eating here TWENTY YEARS! And LOVING IT! Ignore the bad reviews: Almost none are about the food. The food here is excellent. Yes it's expensive but they have a great prixe fixe lunch that's reasonable, but narrow selection. The wait staff is always incredible, professional, attentive, accomodating. The atmosphere is CASUAL but the food and service is 1st class. A unique combination I love. We take half our entree's home so they serve nice size portions. Everything is always cooked perfectly. The view from the front is of the beach across the street, and the Long Island Sound. On clear days you can see Connecticut. There is parking right in front and an over flow lot a short walk away. In non-beach season you can park right across the street in the town beach parking lot. I always ignore any review over 3 paragraphs, they are COMPLAINERS! Check out LaPlage, you will be happy you did. read more

The BEST food I've had in a long time. The corn soup or bisque with crab in it was great. The Duck Confe with risotto was so so delicious. And the coconut tapioca with candied banana and sherbet was to die for. Didn't even need the Herbert. The waiter was very professional and lovely. And the location was perfect. I could smell the low tide in the air. Can't wait to go back. read more
