Great spot, next time I definitely want to try their food as opposed to just baked goods. Pignioli cookie I got was great but definitely not worth $5 for the size of it.

We go to Fire Island every summer for a long weekend, and Rachel's the place we all go for breakfast. They have the most amazing choices, and the service is awesome! There are 8 of us and sometimes we all go together or just a couple of us, and no matter how big or small our party is, the service is always excellent. They also have great cocktails and the best Bloody Mary's to get you started again on your day! The atmosphere is very cool looking and interesting too. The staff is so welcoming, and even though they don't rush you, they get you in and are ready for the next rush of people waiting outside. We love this place, and if you visit Fire Island, you will too! They always say, see you next year, and even if they really don't remember they treat you like they do! It's just awesome!

Bloody Mary

Do try the bran pancakes with fresh fruit mixed inside. They were fluffy and tender, and they are the most popular brunch menu item, according to my waitress Angela. I had them with blueberries inside and real maple syrup on top. Sunday Brunch was not complete without a Bloody Mary. Mine was thick and flavorful and had a moderate amount of heat. My orders came out within 10 minutes even though there were about 20 people in the restaurant. Angela provided stellar service, too. Be sure to dine here by Columbus Day, the last day of the season.

Went in for something sweet to go but couldn't land on anything so until next time. I'll be back.

Another overpriced tourist spot with poorly prepared food. My pasta was bland and underseasoned, but swimming in oil. There was at least a centimeter of oil at the bottom of the bowl, which made the rest of the pasta impossible to eat because of how much oil it collected :/

Excellent service! Great taste. Friendly. They had a wonderful vibe. I enjoyed the pleasant experience with my love at this restaurant and so... yeah... 5 stars! Give them a go!

Great restaurant with delicious food and attentive servers. Always a great meal here ! Visit at least once every trip to FI.

We were looking for a great brunch spot in Fire Island and were pleasantly surprised with what Rachael has to offer. Hands-down the best bloody Mary's on the island. Our kids loved the oatmeal and the French toast (even if the French toast for the kids size was too small). We went on a holiday weekend and the wait wasn't too bad either. It would be great if they had more outdoor seating but The food was very good and worthwhile spot for breakfast or brunch. Will definitely be back.

Iced latte - the best in town! Open 8 am (maybe even 7:30 am) - 4 am!
Amber E.

Best place in Ocean Beach for coffee. We got an iced latte here every day. Says it opens at 8 am during the week, but if you stop by, they may even be open at 7:30 am or earlier. And they stay open til 4 am! Iced latte is amazing. They also serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, have a little bar, and even gelato. Might have to come back with the family for breakfast!

Grilled Chicken Sandwhich
Danielle K.

Came here for the beach and to stay the day. Food was good but expensive we had the grilled chicken sandwich. 20% gratuity automatically included in the bill so be mindful of that. Waitress staff was just ok. They did not have any ranch.

Another phenomenal experience dining here!!! The portions are out of this world. Came here between…read morelunch and dinner and decided on the dinner menu. I had a caesar salad with lobster which was so delicious. The lobster was already shelled out so no need to worry about cracking lobster! Tasted so fresh and hit the spot. My husband got a burger and fries and no complaints there. Me and my daughter tried the fries and they were so good. My daughter inhaled her fried calamari either the cocktail sauce. Nice presentation too. I got an Arnold palmer and it was pinkish due to the pink lemonade. I am not a fan of their pink lemonade and feel regular lemonade would taste fresher and better. The service here was so on point again. Please give your Tinker Bell waitress a raise she was so great with us! I don't know her name but she was adorable and very accommodating to our table. Explained what they were out of and knew the dish well when I asked if the eggplant with the penne alla vodka was breaded. It was breaded by the way and eas delicious. It was nicely cut thin and came with this sourdough bread that was toasted and spiced so good. Not sure what the spice was but it was a warm toasty flavor. I noticed the waitress was doing a lot of work the restaurant was pretty full and she was the only waitress we saw there. Excellent job she does keeping up. If I could have left her a bigger tip I would have. I think the restaurant needs at least another waiter or waitress because of how crowded it can get. I would dine here again if I am on the island again. It's great for families and get togethers!

Had cocktails here. The bartender 'Jonathan' was super polite and helpful. We went back for a meal…read moresince the menu looked amazing but they were out of a lot of the menu items. Food was okay but expected more. Maybe we caught an off time but would try again since it had a good vibe and location.

Not even ten minutes after entering, a friend of the security team was allowed inside with a fire extinguisher and began spraying it throughout the bar--including directly on people who were eating and drinking. This behavior was not only reckless but incredibly dangerous. Fire extinguisher chemicals are toxic when inhaled and can cause serious respiratory issues. Our drinks were completely ruined, and we were forced to leave immediately while covering our faces for safety. When we confronted the security team about what happened, they laughed--showing no concern for the health and safety of their customers. We will never return to this establishment. Attached is a photo of the individual in the white shirt responsible for spraying everyone.

As soon as my friend walked up the stairs we were confronted by Phil who after hearing our explanation of why we walked up grabbed my friend by the neck, tried throwing him down the stairs and kicking him relentlessly while calling for backup and the security pushed us with no regard to our story. We definitely will not be coming back here this behavior is truly disgusting and i think Phil was on drugs or had drugs upstairs definitely shady. Dont come here if you dont want to be physically assaulted

This was my dinner for my birthday this year with my fiancé and I was glad I mentioned it, because…read moreapparently she had been here before for dinner and loved it, and this was my first time. A really intimate place, with probably like 15 tables max inside, and a little bar that can sit also about the same amount of people, but still looks new and fresh, and also be on the lookout because when you're driving the place sneaks up on you. The friendliest service, Lauren who seated us and served us was truly genuine, and I told her I really appreciate that as most restaurants don't have that sense of personal customer service, actually noticeable and appreciated. The food was also really good, the dip was flavorful, could be a little warmer but still very good, the chips were next level, and this was a huge hit. The calamari was lightly breaded, and also I do appreciate the two sauces to choose from when dipping, either Kung Pao or Marinara. I got the Pastrami Rub Tuna over Scallion Mash, and when I first looked at it I thought the fish piece was a bit small, but after eating it, it was the perfect size, and the mash was delicious, and the Wasabi Sauce to dip the fish really made the dish Pop. Drinks were okay, started with a kick and boozy but finished a bit watery for my first one, the second one I had with Mescal was a 10/10 though. This place needs attention, and the fact that it is still pretty low key and food influencers haven't descended to blow up it's spot is awesome.
