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.

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. They clearly care a lot about people enjoying their restaurant and that care shows! Really enjoyable ambiance for date night.

Each had its own cozy holiday twist and honestly set the tone for the whole meal. For food, the short rib tacos were the standout. Packed with flavor and dipped in a super tasty aioli, they were easily our favorite. The buffalo chicken sliders were another win, perfectly crispy and served with fries. The chicken club with sweet potato fries felt fresh, light, and still really satisfying. We wrapped up with the Santa Fe salad, loaded, refreshing, and dressed in a great balsamic vinaigrette. If you haven't been to Downtown Café yet, it's definitely a spot worth checking out -- great vibes, great flavors, and perfect for a casual meal with really good food.

I have no idea how making these things could possibly take 45 minutes. Sandwiches! And nachos! You just dump some chips on a plate and throw on the other stuff! Slap a few things in between two slices of bread! For the type of food it is, I had expected a quick meal in and out, as we were running late heading to the airport. If it was going to take so long I wish they had given us a heads up because we wouldn't have eaten here. The sandwiches were nothing special. Food was mediocre and definitely not worth the wait.

The portions are really good the prices are reasonable. My one gripe, their ordering system in their website is a maze of different vendors and they all charge different prices.

Overall, go in, enjoy the food and keep it going.
