Despite being full the service was excellent and the restaurant was not overly loud. We enjoyed 3 courses each - mushroom strudel / goat cheese tart were our appetizers, for our meal we both had the skirt steak and for dessert my wife enjoyed the peanut butter/chocolate and I had the pistachio mousse. All of the items were delicious. Much better than we had expected and served quickly. I would recommend this restaurant highly and we look forward to going back again many times in the future.

Absolutely loved Bayberry! A perfect brunch spot!…read more What a gem! We stopped at Bayberry for brunch between our boys' soccer games, and it was absolutely perfect! The restaurant is beautiful, warm, and inviting, with such a lovely atmosphere. It's located in a charming downtown area filled with restaurants and shopping, but Bayberry was exactly what we were looking for. I ordered the lemon blueberry Dutch baby, and oh my goodness, it was AMAZING! Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. My husband enjoyed the chicken club, while our boys ordered chicken tenders from the kids' menu. Speaking of the kids' menu, how adorable is this?! It was presented as a sail on a little wooden sailboat! Such a thoughtful and creative touch. The kids' portions were just right, and the prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the restaurant was beautifully maintained, and even the bathrooms were gorgeous! Another plus was the ample street parking, which made our visit that much easier. Bayberry checked all the boxes for us: delicious food, beautiful ambiance, great service, and a family-friendly experience without sacrificing a more elevated dining atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend and happily return!

I've been meaning to try Bayberry for a while & I saw a post about their happy hour so decided to…read moregive it a try. Happy hour at the bar is from 12-7pm with the bar bites available after 4pm. The place is very nicely decorated and exudes an upscale but unpretentious vibe. I ordered a glass of the pinot noir which was tasty and at $6 a nice bargain. I got the chickpea fries and was surprised by the texture. It was almost custard like with a slight chickpea flavor in a very light breading. Served with the harissa aioli it made for a nice app. After a while I decided to try the Filet mignon sliders, which I ordered medium rare, the bartender said they don't usually take a temp on those but he'd note it. The meat is sliced very thin but was tender and still had a bit of red. The arugula gave it a nice peppery bite. My only critic is the slider roll was very cottony, but the overall taste was very good. I'll definitely be back and will try something off the regular menu.

I made eye contact with one and immediately felt like I had interrupted something deeply unpleasant. I ordered the house special. One sip in and I knew this was not a beverage. It tasted like a soggy shoebox dusted with expired glitter, with subtle undertones of something medically concerning. Before I could even put the glass down, my left ear began to vibrate like a shifting tectonic plate. I tried to stand up, but my legs had decided they were no longer on speaking terms with my torso. I eventually had to crawl out the establishment like a disgraced salamander. My skin still tastes like lead and the lights gave me a migraine in a color that doesn't exist. Proceed with extreme spiritual caution.

Better late than never with this backdated review--life has just been lifing!…read moreI finally made it to Artemis on July 22nd after fiending to go since January. There's actually a hilarious story behind why I went. I was originally supposed to have a date that night, but let's be real: you'd think a 61-year-old man would know better than to take a 47-year-old woman to Dave & Buster's. I canceled the night before, dolled myself up the day of, and decided to take myself out instead. Best decision ever. The joint is dimly lit. But your eyes wind up adjusting. It's got a great vibe. Definitely excellent for a date night. The bartenders here are absolute rockstars. I started with a Painkiller. Even though it's no longer on the menu, they whipped it up for me anyway--and hey, it definitely relieved my pain, lol! Next, I tried a Corpse Reviver just because it had absinthe in it. It was different, but I really enjoyed it. Naturally, I had to finish with my signature drink, a Cosmopolitan, because I am the Black Carrie Bradshaw of Long Island. And it did not disappoint. The eats: I got the charcuterie board--fancy and bougie, just like me--and wrapped up the night with the brownie à la mode for dessert. Drowning my troubles in sweets is a must when the Long Island dating pool is an absolute wasteland, lmao. Did I want to spend my night around teenagers, kids, and skee-ball? HELL NO! I wanted a grown-and-sexy speakeasy vibe, and Artemis delivered. 5/5 stars--would 100% recommend!

I'll definitely be back!

Although I've…read moredriven past it often and was intrigued by the yellow neon sign, it would slip my mind when choosing a place to dine. I'm so glad I've finally had a chance to try it. We started with three appetizers to share: the golden meatballs, the baked clams and the fried artichokes. All three were absolutely delicious. I chose ricotta cavatelli bolognese as my entree.It was rich and meaty and silky - something I'd definitely order again. I also tried my sister's autumn pizette, one of the specials. Thin crisp crust, thinly sliced squas, sausage, cheese and a drizzle of fig glaze. A perfectly composed fall dish. Everyone else enjoyed their meals (spaghetti & meatballs, veal parm, chicken française, and spaghetti with seafood.) We shared two desserts - tiramisu was just as I like it, moist but not wet with all the flavors melding into something greater than their individual parts. The tricolor cake was a slice of rainbow cookie, dense and decadent. Our server Michaela was charming and efficient. The atmosphere was sophisticated yet relaxed. Overall, a five star experience.

I ordered the Meatball Monday spaghetti special, which came with garlic bread and a side salad for one price. To finish the meal, I had the tiramisu. The spaghetti was flavorful, and the tiramisu was light, fluffy, and a great way to end the meal. The service was good, the food was satisfying, and I'd definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, checking in without being intrusive and helping the experience feel smooth from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Each dish arrived looking carefully prepared, with generous portions that made the meal feel well worth the price. The combination of appealing presentation, satisfying flavors, and substantial servings made the meal especially enjoyable. What stood out most was the balance between good food and excellent service. Scott, the manager, and Anthony, our waiter, made everything memorable. Everything came out in a timely manner, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. It was the kind of dining experience where we could settle in, enjoy each bite, and leave feeling satisfied rather than rushed. Overall, I would definitely recommend Americano's Pie Bar in Islip to anyone looking for a delicious meal, friendly service, and a pleasant dining experience. I look forward to coming back again. The short rib rigatoni and the prosciutto cappellacci were top-notch.

The Scottsdale seared mahi-mahi and Cowboy Bloom lavender chicken were amazing too. And don't skip the Hawaiian lava cake. The glitter mocktails were such a fun touch for the kids.

The Vidalia onion soup was honestly the best onion soup I've ever had, and I'm a huge onion soup fan. The crab cake bites were among the best crab cakes I've had anywhere, which is saying a lot because I've spent years searching for great crab cakes. I also loved the maple bacon mac and cheese, which struck a perfect balance between sweet and savory. My daughter enjoyed the Georgia wings and sweet potato fries with a marshmallow dipping sauce. Everything was packed with flavor. The cocktails were equally impressive. I had the Georgia-themed Old Fashioned, while my daughter tried the Guy Fieri-inspired Georgia margarita. Both were creative, well-balanced, and memorable. As a mobility disabled person, accessibility is always important to me, and Roadtrip did very well. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant with an accessible route to the entrance. Inside, the aisles are wide, the seating is flexible with movable chairs, and the restroom is fully accessible. The only thing keeping it from a perfect accessibility score is the lack of automatic doors. Food: 11/10 Cocktails: 10/10 Accessibility: 9/10 Roadtrip Bayshore earns my highest recommendation. Great food, great drinks, a fun and unique concept, and accessibility done right.

The Alibi was decorated beautifully and there were two really cute Photo Ops by "Platform 9 3/4" and the Wand Shop. Come here for the drinks! The Hufflepuff was bourbon forward and reminded me of an Old Fashioned which further confirmed that is truly my house. It also came with an edible golden snitch. The server pointed it out before I gave them what I thought to be decor. I popped the chocolate golden snitch in my mouth after being directed to take the wrapping off first. We then did butterbeer shots and I can't even begin to tell you how delish they were...dangerously delicious. Food was had and it wasn't anything to write about but I'll try. Queso dip is made in house, which I respect. Loaded potato wontons were a great idea and were probably the best things on the table. You can't go wrong with pretzel nuggets. Chocolate cake is never a bad idea. I ended my visit with a chocolate frog drink. Very similar to an espresso martini. You know how hot they are right now. It came with a an actual chocolate frog which was nice. Finally one of the staff members came over to help us play Bertie Botts and we all picked a jellybean. I got lemon. Some of us got soap and warwax. So fun! It was so good, we are going to try to snag another rez for trivia. Reservations are for 90 minute seatings. You pay $15 for a ticket but you get a souvenir cup with your ticket. Not mad about this because the cup is actually decent and will be used. Their next pop up will be "Slime Time". Slime is not my thing but maybe you'll see me at the other pop ups.
