The restaurant was busy, and they offered valet parking, which made arrival easy. When we arrived, our table wasn't ready yet, but the staff kindly asked if we wanted high-top tables by the bar, which we declined. The bar area is quite expansive and has a cozy feel, so I'm not sure why I didn't recognize the restaurant from my previous visit. Once seated, we were promptly approached by our server, who took our drink orders with promptness and friendliness. One thing that hasn't changed is the restaurant's lively atmosphere. Its noisy and can be difficult to hear each other, especially if you're sitting near a crowded table enjoying sangria. The lively ambiance is part of the experience, but it does make conversation a bit challenging. For our meal, I ordered the Lobster Meat & Shrimp in garlic sauce, which I found to be very flavorful. My partner ordered the Chicken Lemoine, and she enjoyed it very much. Overall, our dining experience was pleasant, and the service was excellent throughout the evening. Sangria 71, I will most definitely return for Happy Hour.

If you get there on a Friday night after 8, it' can get very loud because they usually have live music and it gets busy.

Apparently it is an extremely popular place to spend a couple of hours and when I say a couple I mean that. They require reservations and a credit card to hold them and you may only stay for a specific period of time. If you make a reservation for 6 people and only 5 show up they will charge your card $25. We ordered wine, frozen drinks and a bottle of prosecco to start. The waitress was definitely overworked so didn't get any personal service. That was not her fault, it was packed! Something to keep in mind, they do not have mixed drinks. Of course it is a winery so they have their wine but my one friend was looking for a cocktail. I had the Sauvignon Blanc and it was mid. I also tasted the prosecco. We shared some hellishly expensive appetizers which were very good. I liked the pizza the best. We also had the pretzel and a charcuterie platter. I was expecting to be wowed, especially since they have their rules and regulations but for me, this place is for the "see and be seen" crowd so not my vibe and if you are looking for a low key romantic time, don't count on that, it was very crowded and loud. I think I would go back but maybe wait until possibly the fall.

Miller's Ale House in Commack is a completely average experience, which is why it lands at three…read morestars for me. The ambience is what you'd expect from a big sports bar style restaurant. It's loud, casual, and energetic, and it works if you're going in with that mindset. There are plenty of TVs and a steady crowd, so it's a decent place to watch a game or grab a quick meal without expecting anything too elevated. The service was just okay. The staff was friendly enough but not very consistent. At times it felt like we were waiting a bit too long for someone to check in or refill drinks, even though the restaurant wasn't overly busy. Nothing was rude or unpleasant, but it didn't feel smooth or attentive either. The food was hit or miss. Some items were enjoyable while others felt a little thrown together. It's typical bar food, and it's fine if that's all you're looking for. Portions are generous but the quality can vary depending on what you order. Overall Miller's Ale House is good for a casual hangout or a quick meal when you're not looking for anything special. It serves its purpose, but between the average service and the predictable food, it doesn't really stand out. It's fine, but not a place I would go out of my way to visit.

The wait to be seated was unusually long even…read morethough several tables were open, and once we were finally seated, the service felt rushed and inattentive. Our server seemed more focused on turning the table than ensuring we had a decent experience. When the food came out, it was undercooked and completely lacked flavor. It's rare for a meal to miss on every level, but this visit really did--from the timing to the quality to the overall hospitality. For a place that markets itself as a neighborhood spot for good food and good times, this experience was anything but. Definitely not worth a return visit.

A serviceable thin crust bar pie for only $5 from the HH menu was a nice accompaniment. Welcoming bar service! Thursday Night Football replay on display. Decent soundtrack. Helped make a smooth transition to weekend from hectic work week. Private parking lot and a nice patio out back for milder weather.

The restaurant was clean and really beautiful inside. The bar was hopping also if you like to sit at the bar instead of at a table! My husband and I decided we will be returning ASAP!

The decor as you enter is super cute and continues throughout the entire restaurant. They have a bar, a couple tables outside on Main Street and many different types of seating in the dining room. We were there on. Friday around 4pm and there was plenty of seating. Our server was quick attentive and friendly. She was also very knowledgeable and even provided recommendations. The food came out quick and was hot. One of the meals we ordered to split and they served us with it already split on 2 separate plates. They had a creative drink menu and had many creative food options. As I'm not a huge fan or red sauce, I was happy to see that I could get any of their meals with the vodka sauce. The fried gnocchi with the truffle sauce was so good we will definitely be back again. The chicken had a light breading that didn't take away from the taste of the meal. There is street parking and a shared lot in the back. It was a wonderful experience and meal and we will be back soon!

It's exactly what you would think of when you think ghetto bar in the 'burbs. BUT, the bartenders are always super friendly, and surprisingly trustworthy. I gave the bartender my card, asked him to only give me $50 worth of booze for the night, and I had all I wanted, bought my friends plenty of drinks, and then still had enough to give him a $15 tip. Now, I advise young good looking women to NOT go alone. I'm sure it's fine, I'm sure nothing will happen, but if you want to be oggled in not a particularly pleasant way then, go alone. But, if you're in a group, it's perfect. 30 of your nearest and dearest friends, and it turns into the best place to be in in Commack/E.Npt for miles around! Cheap drinks....i've never eaten there, but apparently it's pretty good. Plenty of parking...... KARAOKE night is on Friday! It's a new thing, and again, the place is usually empty so you'll have to bring your own possie, but it's worth it!
