These are one of the tougher reviews to make. It is easy to be enveloped by the plethora of great…read morerestaurants in the competitive nature that is NYC, but when you venture all the way out here to Babylon, NY, you have to change that mindset a bit. The Brixton is a beautiful restaurant with very relaxed and casual vibes. The word around town is that their drinks are awesome. What about their food, though? They originally would not seat us in the middle of the afternoon because most of the empty tables were reserved. We had to request to sit outside, which was empty, before they decided to serve us. Odd that they did not even offer that to us. The General Tso' Cauliflower was the only great thing served to us. It is incredibly crispy and flavorful. You almost forgot that you were eating a piece of vegetable at times. The Short Rib Brisket Sesame burger was shocking. $18 for two White Castles-sized sliders. It was easily consumed, and I was left much to be desired. This is most definitely an appetizer item, not an entree. The Chicken Waffle was good. Nicely deep-fried and packs a lot of flavor. The waffle looked dubious. If I had to guess, it might not be mad fresh to order. Essentially, it's 3 drumsticks/wings over a possibly frozen Eggo waffle. I would recommend a second dish if you are looking to get full. The Steak frites and Eggs Benedict were the final dishes served. It is hard to mess these dishes up, but the ribeye was nicely seasoned and cut up. The dishes were nicely displayed. Overall, this is just an OK experience. When the deep-fried cauliflower appetizer is the most memorable dish here, it is quite alarming. Portion sizes are on the small end, and none of the flavors for the entrees really stuck out. Perhaps I will come here strictly for the drinks next time.

At nearly $600 for three people, I expected a lot more. The raw clams were some of the smallest I have ever been served, yet they had the audacity to charge $3 per clam. Same type of clams for the baked style as well so 2 terrible dishes off to start. Honestly, I would have been embarrassed to send portions like that out of the kitchen. The lamb chops I ordered were also shockingly small. The Chilean sea bass my girlfriend had was actually good and probably the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the steak my friend ordered was the complete opposite. It was extremely salty, and the supposed 24 ounce cut certainly did not look like 24 ounces of meat. The bone was impressively thick, but the actual meat was noticeably thinner than the bone. Not exactly what you expect when ordering a 24 ounce steak. The drinks were not much better. The martini we had at the bar was incredibly weak, and the caviar bump served from the cart was tiny and, frankly, underwhelming in quality. Service was good and the space has a nice atmosphere, and the live jazz was a nice touch but ultimately, you go to a steakhouse for the food, and that is where this experience completely fell apart. Nearly $600 for three people for food that was this inconsistent? Absolutely not worth it.

It was topped with avocado, red onion, tomato, sauce and the patty was homemade and full of flavor. Special shout out to the truffle fries yum yum yum!

Street parking, one hour free if you can grab one of those spots. Plenty of flavored draft beers and TV screens throughout.

Do not come here looking for a massive, gluttonous burger, but do come for a quality, carefully built and tasty one. Your 8oz burger may seem smallish when it first arrives, but thats because it comes on a bun that is the right size - not a bunch of extra bread. My girlfriend really liked the turkey burger option and the waffle sweet potato fries - but she was not a fan of the marshmallow dipping sauce and stuck to bbq. I had a standard burger with some bacon and onion straws. She was a little surprised that lettuce and tomato were not standard and automatic (this was said after the burgers arrived - I assume that they are on the menu for customization if you want them), but enjoyed her burger nonetheless. $25 is a bit high for a burger, so this will not be a weekly stop, but once in a while on the way through Babylon for a simple, tasty meal, absolutely. Service is attentive and friendly. Atmosphere is noisy, but I would not call it overly loud - music was not blaring and conversation could be maintained at normal levels. This was on Sunday - early evening - I will make no assumptions about a busy Friday or Saturday night - I can imagine it gets quite lively.

We wanted to grab a bite for lunch and had Gina as our waitress. She was great in providing insight to some of the more popular dishes along with her favorites. She's worked there a number of years and her warm personality adds to the family atmosphere. We ended up ordering a Reuben sandwich with tater tots and the Big Mick Empanadas. I do enjoy a good empanada, and when Gina explained that this particular empanada was based on the very popular Big Mick burger (which tastes like a big Mac) I decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. It was quite flavorful, and the chef nailed the "special sauce". Gina - my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with you after we finished our meal.

Think of that same pizza crust being served at Barrique Kitchen & Wine Bar. And they're commanding such high prices! All these 4-5 star reviews, what am I missing? We're going to see at show at Jones Beach so I suggested something close to my sister in laws house. I never been so I suggested Barrique Kitchen & Wine Bar based on past Yelp reviews. Lets' back up. -Atmosphere? 10 out of 10. The bar and inside restaurant looks amazing. We chose to sit outside, its a beautiful night. -Parking? I was able to park out front, on the street. -Drinks? I had a pretty good cocktail, Peach Bourbon Lemonade made with Bourbon and Peach Schnapps. -Wait staff? Our waitress was attentive and all of the waiters kept our water glasses full and removed our finished plates. My wife & I always get a pizza and a salad to split between us. I ordered for us the Poached Pear Salad. Topped with crumbled gorgonzola, chopped pecans, and poached pears. This was a nice summer-y salad. I liked it, it was a nice starter but $18 bucks?? First time here and the pizza just turned me off. I would have changed it up if I had to start over, maybe a meat & cheese platter? There's too much competition in the area, the small plates are full entree prices and we were served yucko pizza.

"I see her on the freeway Long Island Expressway…read moreHey, give me a break, baby Help me get out of this rain" (Rolling Stones) I just attended a wedding here, and I honestly can't imagine any aspect of the experience that could have been improved. It was that good. The wedding ceremony took place outside, where rows of chairs were set up and we all had gorgeous waterfront views. After the ceremony, we walked into the building's first floor for the cocktail hour. Simply put, the food was amazing. The cocktail hour alone could have served as a meal. There was a big central charcuterie station of cold appetizers - think meats, cheeses, fruits, and crudities. The four corners of the room each housed a food station - a carving station, sushi/sashimi, pasta, and Asian stir fry. Oh, and there were tons of butler service passed hors oeuvres too. Next, we walked upstairs to the large ballroom for the main meal. Dinner service started with a "Burrata Caprese" salad with a big hunk of creamy mozzarella served in a dressed salad with grilled bread. As for the dinner entrees, would you believe a choice of SEVEN entrees?? I kid you not -- seven entrees - Branzino, chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, Surf and Turf, and eggplant. My table had just about all of the choices, and everything disappeared. After the meal, there was an apple tart with ice cream and wedding cake. All of the people I interacted with, the hosts, the bartenders, the servers and the clearers were super polite and friendly. When I think about the decor, the scenery, the food, and the service, this was a top-notch experience, Well done, Piermont.
