Kenneth was absolutely great. The most professional waiter I've ever encountered. Mike the manager was also outstanding. He came over and made sure dinner and our experience was more then perfect. We will definitely be back! Food was delicious... dessert was amazing..., I couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. A++ read more

Ristegio's - Birthday dessert - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

A group of us were looking forward to a wonderful dining experience that turned out to be a huge disappointment. I was excited for our dinner reservations mainly because I was finally able to check out this restaurant I've been wanting to go to for a while also none of us have eaten here before. I had a few conversations early that afternoon with a very nice young lady, who took assigned us to their best waiter, Taylor and I mentioned that were celebrating 2 birthdays at our table and notes were made. Upon entering the restaurant nobody even acknowledged us, no one greeted us nor directed us to the coat check. It was confusing and unorganized. As it was pouring out and we needed to hang our coats. The girls at the front seemed surprised when I approached them about being seated. When we were finally seated. We ordered, waiter seemed nice. We were served our salads and appetizers and no bread was served. The waiter, stated oh yeah, they were supposed to come. Really now??? The ambiance is beautiful, the food was good, portions a modest, could do a little more on the portions. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food, expect one person in our party who was very disappointed with the prima vera, he said their was only carrots and a little zucchini in his dish. Where are all the other vegetables?? I enjoyed the black bass dish, it was very good. I need to add that the bus boy came over and put his arm right in front on the person seated next to me as he was reaching across and had his arm pit in the face of the person next to me as he attempted to pour water into my glass, not good and not professional! Anyway we continued to dessert, coffee was served and it was extremely bitter and tasteless. We then ordered dessert, as we were waiting for the waiter to bring a dessert for our birthday guests, as stated earlier I was told notes were made about the birthdays....... nothing was presented, I motioned the waiter over about the 2 birthdays and he said ok ....... and still nothing, moments later.....I motioned him again and whispered in his ear again about the two birthdays and he said ok....again. Needless to say nothing ever came to the table so were did not sing happy birthday and this was high point our disappointment. Not good Taylor. Waiters need to pay attention to detail! Note to management, your staff, and I mean everyone working the floor, needs professional training! If you want to stay open and continue not to loose money, I strongly suggest you train your staff professionally. If not, this will surely be the demise of Ristegio's a huge investment gone wrong! With the proper training this scenario can be completely avoided. Heed this warning! read more

I didn't hate it but I was not impressed at all. Meh food. Poor service. Cold environment. I won't be back

Went there on Friday nite we had the 44 oz Tomahawk for 2 its a homer !!!! service was excellent !!!!!!

Terrible service... it took 25 minutes for a waitress to even come over for a drink order... and when she did come she wasn't even our waitress!! It was absolutely freezing... and the valet took 15 minutes to get our car and it was parked in a random parking lot. Food was ok.. will never go back! read more

The restaurant was good. I had a grilled chicken dish that was good. The bar area was fun. The restaurant was a little pricey.

One of our worst nights out for dinner we've ever experienced. Unfortunately we were a party 8 out for our friends birthday. It started out bad with our drinks taking almost an hour to come out. We then ordered appetizers and dinner. The first of the appetizers took over an hour to come out and didn't come out together. We didn't start the main course until around 9:45. Most of the food was warm, at best, and 2 were sent back because they were cold. Only one of our party had their meal hot, the others just warm. They apparently put the fish and steak dishes in a microwave when we sent them back. When brought back out, the steak was now so well done my friend couldn't eat it. I guess from putting it in the microwave. They did take the steak off the bill. The service was no better. The waitress poured water into my friend's wine glass by mistake which I have never seen done before. The glass had wine in it from a bottle we had ordered. The waitress of course apologized and then brought her an empty water glass to pour more wine into from our bottle. That didn't go over too well. We asked her for a new WINE glass with the same wine my friend was drinking. The waitress at one point actually said we were killing her. She also told us it was her first week there and that the chef was also new. She had a table of 10, our table of 8 and a couple of other smaller tables. I had the soft shell crab which was horrible. After we finished eating the waitress brought my friend a desert with a candle in it, nice. She never asked any of us if we wanted any dessert. We sat down at 7pm and left close to 11pm because of how long everything took. The manager was aware of some of the issues and gave us 10% off the bill. I would have rathered paid double for a good meal and good service. We will not be returning to this restaurant. The music and being with friends were the only good things about the night. I hope the owner can read this review and make some badly needed and necessary changes. For now, stay away from this place, read more

We absolutely had a terrible experience! After spending 20 minutes on figuring out our reservation, they took a hour and a half to bring bread. We then had to walk up to the kitchen to request butter which took another 20 minutes. They didn't offer us drinks until after taking the food order, half of our orders came out wrong and the first time they brought our meals, all the dishes were cold. We had to continuously walk over to the kitchen to find out server. And the guy who does the temperatures was extremely rude when we walked in. He should focus on doing temperatures and keep comments to himself. We ended up with a $600 bill for a party of 9 and they didn't offer anything for their screw ups. It was my daughter's 19th bday and the entire time we were running around trying to get bread, butter, drinks and fixing our orders. Honestly, I think the server knows that we have to pay gratuity for tables of 6 or more so he didn't care to provide service to us. The only reason why this gets one star was because of the music. Other than that, the food is over priced for Friday's/outback/Applebee's type food and service. First time and last time I will go there. One good thing is I obtained the bands info and found out they play at other restaurants that are closer to where we live. The manager get didn't even come and offer desert on the house or even apologize for the mishaps after constantly having to walk up and ask for assistance. I can go on and on as I keep reflecting of more ways they were horrific and ruined our experience. Again don't waste your money and go to other restaurants where the bands play. STAY AWAY FROM THIS AWFUL, OVERPRICED , LACK OF SERVICE, POOR PARKING SITUATION, PATHETIC MANAGEMENT, BAD TEMPERATURE GUY, INCOMPETENT, NASTY FOOD, AND good music place. read more

So Disappointing i can cook better food at home no joke. Cold, under seasoned and below average what a waste of money!! I can go Prime in Huntington and get a dinner for 2 and still be cheaper with higher quality food. There is no way an excutive chef is cooking this crap in the back. Straight shit. Always read the 1 start reviews,odds are they are right. Straight robbery. I have never left review before but this place could charge you past $200 for 2 get for straight garbage. read more

Pretty impressed with the food, nothing to go crazy for though. The filet mignon was descent, the asparagus was cold and very chewy and the potato had to much onion flavor going on. Staff was excellent and paid attention to detail...I would probably return in the future. read more

Ristegio's - My dish - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Just left this place. First time there. Food was great. Got what we paid for. Decor was nice, and staff was decent. Heat was broken. 64 degrees in the main dining area, as displayed on the digital thermostat on the wall. After mentioning it to the manager twice, they refused to move us near the large gas fireplace which was the only source of heat in the place. My steak was great, for 5 minutes, then rapidly dropped in temperature to the point it wasn't enjoyable. Guess we'll try it again in August. read more

Came here with my husband for date night. Definitely was not impressed. The service sucked. The food was a little bland for my taste. I wouldn't come again. read more

So delicious! The blt flatbread, risotto, and chicken parm was so good. The service was great and the restaurant is very aesthetically pleasing. read more

I enjoyed a delicious dinner at a table by the fireplace on Saturday evening. Members of my party ordered the lobster bisque for an appetizer and commented that it was the best they've ever had. The wait staff and Chris, the manager were very attentive. At the conclusion of dinner, we moved to the bar area and enjoyed a few drinks and the live band. My friends and I will definitely be back. read more

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! NOT WORTH ONE STAR, BUT HAVE TO GIVE IT ONE TO POST THIS REVIEW. Last night, I went to Ristegio's in Patchogue. Due to health issues, it was my first night out where I could eat normal food in 10 months. Over the course of a few years, this would be my 4th time there and will never be back. Everytime very unsatisfied. This was for my friends birthday dinner. Reservations for party of 8. Started out with table set for 7. 1 hour to get our first drinks, another hour to get appetizers, a couple in our party got their apps 30 minutes before everyone else. I got the fried calamari. Came out cold. I sent it back and 2 minutes later they were back after microwaving it. Still not hot and very chewy. An 1-1 1/2 hours later after apps, dinner showed up. Plates were put in front of the wrong people. Everyone's dinner was not hot. My wife's steak and my Chilean sea bass weren't even warm. We sent them both back. They came back out 5 minutes later and they microwaved it again (I know because I put a finger in the mashed potatoes before sending it back and it was the same plate when it came back.) Any decent restuarant I've been to, if you send it back because of it being cold they should refire the meal, not microwave it. (Especially at $45-$55 a plate.) My wife's steak was supposed to be medium rare, it was now gray inside. Absolute shoe leather and inedible. Mine was still cold, fish turned to rubber, risotto turned to paste. I couldn't eat mine as well. They took my wife's dinner off the bill. The waitress poured water into someone fairly full glass of prosecco. Who does that? Wine is in a wine glass and water is in a different type of glass. She came back to the table with just an empty wine glass. We made her replace it with a glass of prosecco. The waitress stated that we were killing her. Then, they kept send over free sodas to my wife and I without asking for them because they knew we weren't happy. We actually had to make them stop bringing them, because we were still on our first glass and had a spare already. (Management, you can't make things right with a .50 cent glass of soda.) Now, people who know me, know I love good food and don't mind spending a lot of money for it. I also don't usually like to rant about things but I just had to warn people about this horrible restuarant. In the end, we got there at 7:00 and finished eating at 10:45. I was so hungry, I actually had to go to Wendy's to get something to go. Their food came out hot! read more

Was not impressed at all. I'm not sure if it's just what we ordered but.. We went for Valentine's Day price fix. I started with the crab cake and then the scallop risotto for my entree. The crab cake was mainly filled with breadcrumbs and fairly bland, drenched in this white flavorless sauce. The scallop herbed risotto (according to the server was "full of cheese, cream and 'herbs' [couldn't clarify which herbs] and delicious") was plated with 6 large scallops and again this white sauce drenched on top of it. It was very unimpressive and bland (especially for a price fix of $75). My boyfriend got the 112 roll which had crab and salmon on it and he said it was decent. He also got the 1/2 roast chicken. He enjoyed that. It was a very large portion. He enjoyed the chicken but said the roasted potatoes were soggy. It also came with asparagus even though the menu stated it came with spinach. He has dietary restrictions and cannot eat asparagus. At this point I was pretty done with the meal. The dessert was flourless chocolate cake and cheesecake which were good. The server was also not very helpful and couldn't elaborate on menu items, didn't ask if we wanted refills etc. We get the check and see 20% gratuity was added automatically (for a party of 2..) and a 4% credit card charge is in place which we were not notified of prior on their website. For 2 people for the price fix meals it ended up being $220. I felt robbed. Sorry there were no photos of the meals, I typically take photos but everything was unimpressive. read more

Horrible. Should have known when a restaurant serves sushi, mexican and chicken Parmesan. Are u kidding me, is the owner an ex diner cook? used meal man and got delivery. Wife had a basic fried shrimp dinner and i ordered the chicken parm with angel hair . We added 2 NY cheesecakes, the bill was over $100 with delivery, oh we had fried avacodo slices also. I have use meal man and grubhub for delivery from over a dozen restaurants, this was by far the worst I have ever seen. The sliced avacodo, were tempura, not fried or even breaded. ugh. The fried shrimp, all 5 small ones were fine, but the fries were crap and the price was ridiculos now the chicken parm was legendary, and by that i mean jarred sauce, thick cut , pre frozen chicken cutlets that were god awful. Even the pasta was clumpy and horrible. worse were the 12$ cheesecake which were those round pre made things u get at restaurant depot. not bad for 6$. there are so many great restaurants around town I don't understand how this place stays open. This was the first bad meal ive had using mealman or grubhub delivery service, hell even Arroogas beats this place and that place is grease heaven. save yur money. read more

I have been here a couple of times now and the food is always great and the staff is always pleasant. Jean and Justin are usually my servers and they are always very professional and very knowledgeable about the menu and any questions I may have, as well as offering me great food recommendations. My favorite item on the menu, so far, is the lobster bisque soup, it is definitely one of the best that I have ever had. I have tried a couple other items that I really enjoyed as well, including the avocado fries, the calamari, the stuffed rigatoni tomato basil, and the oysters, but I like to try something different each time I go. All the food I have tried has been high quality and the seafood is always very fresh and aside from just the food, I always have a great experience! If you're looking for a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and fantastic service, this is your place! read more

After being recommended to Ristigios by a friends, decided to book the early seating for New Years Eve. We were seated at approximately 4:55 pm and did not even have an appetizer until an hour later. Bread was terrible. We were six people and chose to go early before the chaos thinking that we would be served in a timely manner before it got really busy and food would be good as there wasn't a rush yet. Took over 15 minutes just to get drinks. Finally after asking the manager if they were heating up the oven as we weren't being served, appetizers arrived. The appetizers were decent. We were six people and 4 of us ordered the surf and turf and two ordered the prime rib. Unfortunately the lobster was way overcooked and tasted like rubber and smelled fishy as soon as it was put down, and two steaks were very rare (we ordered medium) and the prime rib extremely rare. It cost us with a bottle of Prosecco and two beers $678.00 for sub par food. I am not one for writing bad reviews, however, with the amount of money spent I felt compelled to write this. Was so looking forward to having a beautiful evening here with. my family and had it been good, I would not complain about the cost, as I knew how much it would cost when we went and was fine with that as long as the food was up to par. Still this morning, food not sitting well. A total disappointment to end the decade. Will definitely not be returning here. Also there should have been music playing for those of us dining earlier and looking forward to a special evening. read more

Went tonight for New Year's Eve dinner with family. Service was good, food took a long time to come out, and when it did, it was not as good as $70 prix fix dinner should be. Food was like warm to cold, filet mignon tasted "off", mashed potatoes were okay and broccoli rabe was good. Lobster bisque was watery and too sweet, had to ask for crackers but they didn't have crackers so I asked for crostini that I broke up like croutons, they didn't know how to make a strawberry daiquiri and I sent it back twice and finally got it taken off check. Ambiance is nice but they need to get the food equal to the ambiance. Won't be going to this place anymore. Ruined a New Year's Eve night. Band was coming in at 10 pm when they should have had live music for others who were dining earlier. read more

Really bad vibe here. Seems like everyone hates each other. Idk. Just a very unwelcoming kind of feeling. I had asked to speak to the chef about a particular dish, as I have a group of friends that wanted to go back for lots of lobster. We all love lobster and wanted to see if they could accommodate us. PS-10 ppl willing to pay whatever it cost for a great lobster dinner. The chef refused to come out. The place was dead so why wouldn't you talk to us?? You're not a celebrity by any means, bud. And your food is mediocre at best. Get your ass in gear! Will never go back. Update- Unfortunately, my coworkers wanted to come here last night. Reluctantly, I went. Same vibe. Server was bad mouthing the busser, the busser was bad mouthing the bartender, server was bad mouthing the owner and the manager. Manager appeared to be a sleazy, used car salesman. I never felt more uncomfortable when talking to a man with my husband present, as he stared at my boobs the whole time. Just icky. Ironically, I found out that the owner is a car salesman. Maybe the "restaurant manager" is literally a used car salesman. read more

Waited an hour after bland appetizers for a big let down. If the food tasted half as good as the place looks you would be ok. Save your money and just go to your fav pizza place because I guarantee their dinner is 100 times better than here. Sooo disappointed. Don't be fooled. You aren't getting seated right away because you think you're special. read more

Horrible and rude!! They play loud music so that my children are up all night and have nightmares to the point I've had to seek help over it. They don't care they keep the neighborhood up behind them until 130am. They just care about the all mighty buck!! If you care at all for the well being of human kind and children stay away!!! Also their foods sucks unless you enjoy frequent diarrhea read more

Recently hosted a 100th birthday celebration here and our experience from planning to dessert was wonderfully awesome. This venue provided a very pleasant dining experience in an elegantly designed space; Andy, our event planner, was great and advised us honestly and well; Gene, our event's service captain was patient, courteous and accommodating of our guests and Tom oversaw this night's festivities in a much appreciated low key manner. The patio and outdoor bar area is pleasant and comfortable and where the hors d'oeuvres we offered our guests -every delicious selection- were presented well by gracious staff members . This opening to our evening was followed by an equally graciously managed dinner and each of the dinner entrees again won positive reviews from everyone. Even the specialty cake brought in by the restaurant's management team didn't disappoint! (And how often can you say that?!) read more

This place is awesome! Some of my guests speak another language, management went out of their way to find staff and make them feel comfortable. The food is always excellent the drinks are even better. Happy holidays . read more

I cannot recommend Ristegio's for any reason. The experience I had there this weekend was appalling. And I have been a regular, frequent customer since they opened. I had always liked to come for the music and dancing on the weekend and happy hour some week days. They are frequently under staffed, but everyone does the best they can and the food is usually good. This weekend my boyfriend and I came with another couple and one of my girlfriends whom we were treating for her birthday. Between appetizers, drinks, wine and dinners, we spent quite a bit of money and were looking forward to a fun and stress-free Saturday night. We arrived for our 8:00pm reservation and were able to get a drink and appetizers without waiting too long. After that, the waitress was nowhere to be found. 45 minutes later, we were still waiting to order dinner, more drinks and a bottle of wine. Finally, one friend got up to place our order. By the time the dinners came the band was on (after 10pm) and we wanted to dance. I had lost my appetite and couldn't eat the dinner at that point. I asked the waitress to please take my dinner off of the bill. The bill came. I mentioned that she hadn't taken my dinner off. It was still on the table uneaten. She refused to take it off and did Not offer to pack it to go. My boyfriend doesn't like to complain. He just paid the bill and left a generous tip anyway. I spoke to the manager and explained I was disappointed with my experience tonight; that the waitress seemed to have more tables than she could handle. The manager was terrific. He offered to take my dinner off the bill which had already been paid. He asked if they packed the dinner to go. I told him it had been taken away at that point. He offered to have another dinner made for me to take home. I explained I couldn't wait, my boyfriend was already getting the car and asked if I could possibly get a gift card for next time I come in. He said he would see what he could do. Again, the manager was great. What happened next is Unbelievable. You cannot make this stuff up. Another man came over to me and introduced himself as Steve, the owner. He began yelling at me telling me that I wasn't getting anything out of him, that my bill was already paid, that I was going to get nothing, that nobody treats his wait staff like that. At that point, I interrupted him and said I didn't say anything unkind to or about anyone. He continued to verbally abuse me. I finally turned to walk away and as I did, He said F-ck You!! I've heard that sometimes the owners are nice, and sometimes not. This owner's behavior towards me was Abusive. I had a bad experience and gave them some feedback in a very nice way. Instead of appreciating that from a Regular customer, I was verbally abused, belittled and cursed at!! Who does that and say F-ck You to a customer? Needless to say, I will never set foot in there again. There are plenty of establishments that offer entertainment, better food and prices than Ristegios and treat their customers courteously and professionally. Do yourself a favor and Go Somewhere Else!! read more

Mother's Day brunch was terrible. I feel like I got ripped off. The building is nice but that's it.

Ristegio's has it all ! Located in Patchogue but has the vibe and decor of an upscale restaurant/bar of NYC- The master culinary skills going on behind the scene is what keeps me coming back every time with friends! From their delicious lobster bisque to their perfectly cooked filet mignon ! And what make a night out at Ristegio's even better, their courteous staff and trained bartenders making a perfect Martini every time! read more

Ristegio's - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Being born and raised in Medford allowed me to discover this wonderful restaurant. It's the old site of Pat and Jim's, but as run down as that place was, Ristegio's is gorgeous. The bar is possibly the largest granite counter top in the world. Live music and impeccable service only accent the delicious food. The menu is American and Sushi, an odd mix, admittedly, but something for everyone in your party. Will definitely be back. read more

Ristegio's - Shrimp Risotto - New American Near Me - Patchogue, New York

See all

I finally see why this place is always empty...went there for a nice brunch and had anything but. From a rude, condescending waiter to an apathetic "owner," it's clear why they are going under. After asking for ice with our water, he mumbled "a**holes" under his breath. SERIOUSLY??? Fortunately, we went 2 minutes away into Patchogue and had a lovely meal elsewhere. Save your time and money and go somewhere without the attitude. read more

Don't waste your time or money on this place! Me and two of my girlfriends went to restigio's on a Thursday night. According to a post on their Facebook page, it was ladies night and they offered half priced drink specials. We get there, the bartender greeted us with her attitude and said she knew nothing about it, but asked a guy who was behind the bar with her and he said they haven't done ladies night in months! Okay what we've, we have kids, we rarely et out, we hadn't seen each other in a few months, so we ordered some drinks, paid full price and carried on with our night. Btw, I ordered an extra dirty martini that was hardly dirty. My girls each had a glass of wine before ordering a bottle. Fast forward to the dining experience. We were seated around 9:30 pm. We perished the menu, ordered some apps and sushi rolls and carried on with our conversation. A few minutes later our waiter returns with a manager, who was arrogant and rude to say the least. He told us we could not have sushi because the regular kitchen closes at 10 and the sushi chefs had already gone home! Nobody told us the kitchen was closing nor did they tell us the sushi would not be an option. In fact, the sushi menu was separate and additional to their regular menu, therefore we should've been told it was not an option or we should've never been handed a sushi menu in the first place! After my friend pointed these obvious facts out to "arrogant manager" he replied, "thanks for the line, but if you want to order you can pick an entree from the regular menu before the kitchen closes." We were floored. Our appetizers arrived. We ordered the cold antipasto platter which consisted of small cubes of cheese, arugula, one small piece of bread, one artichoke heart, and about 3 shards of prosciutto. My friend ordered shrimp scampi which consisted of 3 small shrimp. We also ordered a beet salad and a wedge salad; they were good, but absolutely nothing to brag about! And definitely not worth the money. In the meantime, my friend posted a comment on their facebook page under the ladies night advertisement basically saying that ladies night does not exist at Ristigio's. We decided not to order food because we were aggravated about the false advertisement, the horrible rude service, the fact that we couldn't get the food we had ordered, we were ready to leave. As we were leaving, "arrogant manager" basically stopped us at the exit and said he'd taken two appetizers off of our bill in response to him seeing the message posted on Facebook (i had previously pointed the fb post out to the little guy behind the bar who had told the "arrogant manager"). He followed us all the way out the exit door arguing with us to take the Facebook post down and accused my friend of giving him a "lecture" because we were speaking out against the service! We were so appalled. We were treated abusively and the manager did not care if we were satisfied customers. It was almost as if he wanted the challenge. He was so rude and unhelpful. There are MANY MORE OTHER DESERVING RESTAURANTS OUT THERE! read more

I expected beautiful! A careful reading of Yelp reviews and the only unanimous opinion was that Ristegio's was a beautiful place to dine. As far as the food and service, everyone seemed to have a different opinion. For one Yelp reviewer this is the absolute best restaurant on Long Island - for others it was just disappointing. One and two star reviews because the valet was not quick enough or because the prices were higher than expected. Well kids, after a very pleasant midweek dinner I'd like to put in my two cents... I did get beautiful - Ristegio's is like a miniature Scotto restaurant. (Blackstone, Insignia, etc.) The place is sleek, clean and modern, and you immediately know that you are in for an upscale experience. We were greeted warmly and taken to a very comfortable table. Our waiter seemed inexperienced, but he was earnest and tried very hard to please. The menu is varied and the prices are moderate. (Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been to the steakhouses they always name.) We tried four apps and four entrees - very few problems. Yes, the breadbasket is weak and should be improved. Yes, my lobster cake special was too bready. (But it still was very tasty.) The one real problem was that some of the entrees were slightly overcooked. Not enough to be a problem but enough to keep this from a five star experience. Donuts for desert were more like the cronuts that are the hit of the NYC restaurant scene and should be a must. read more

We were in the area after a new client pitch today and decided to go there for lunch. I knew the place as I purchased a gift certificate last year for a company friend and now wanted to try it out. Our group asked the manager and waitress for lunch specials and were told there were none. The manager was annoyed as he presented the regular lunch menu to us. You can imagine our surprise when they included a flier for their lunch specials (Monday- Friday) when they brought us the bill. When asked about this the waitress was indifferent and had the nerve to ask us if we would like to order the lunch special. I dislike disingenuous people and will not give them my business again. read more

WOW, what a great place. Happened to see that it had opened while driving by. Went there tonight and have to admit we were blown away. From the valet parking, the beautiful decor, and the outstanding food and drink, this place is outstanding in every aspect of service and taste. This place exudes class from the beautiful outside to the well fashioned interior. Could be on a country club or beach rather than Rt 112. Walk into a center area bar surrounded by two separate dining areas. Great subtle lighting adds to the ambiance. As a friend of mine said"you don't eat ambiance". The food is amazing. We started off with tempura artichokes and a mushroom flat bread. So good. Mains were diver scallops that were cooked to perfection,crisp on the outside and so tender inside with a great flavor. Spouse had salmon with forbidden rice and bok choy. OMG! a tour de force meal; great flavor blend and well prepared. Dessert was greek yoghurt panna cotta with figs. Spot on end to great meal. Service was great but a little stiff as the place just opened. Expect it to only get better. The attention to detail in every aspect of this restaurant is unmatched. All ready planning our next trip. This place is head and shoulders above anything in downtown Patchogue and well worth the drive up RT 112. read more

We were a large group of 10, for a noon time lunch on a Saturday in February. We arrived a little early and we were greeted warmly by the hostess with a great smile. We sat in the large room with the fireplace on and our waiter promptly took out drink order and returned with our cocktails shortly after. He then was able to suggest apps for the table which were delicious: tempura artichokes, avocado French fries, crab cakes and crispy jumbo shrimp. This was followed by a couple of us getting the steak sandwich, which was very tender and well seasoned. The ristegio burger was a big hit also. I had the apple arugula salad which was fresh and well dressed. We ended the meal with a nice complement of coffees and various desserts which we all shared. This was a very enjoyable lunch with great friends and we all look to returning for dinner. read more

Overpriced food, slow service and the feeling of being at a tacky wedding ...If that's the experience you are looking for this place is for you. My dinner, the only thing hot was the plate. The filet mignon was overcooked and cold, the asparagus was just ok and potatoes really how do you mess that up, but yes they managed to. Disappointed and still hungry. read more

I live in the town & pass here all the town. Came here for a friends birthday for the first time with a party of 13, the food & service was top notch. The customer service was one of the best iv ever had. I'm in the service business. Thank you for great service & food will definitely be back;) read more

We went here with friends who had a great experience their first time. The owner was very nice and felt terrible about the horrible meal I was served. When I sent my dish back (which I've probably only done one other time in my life) the waiter came back to report that the chef agreed my fish was way overcooked! Thought it was weird to be told "he squeezed your fish and agreed with you". Offered for me to order something else but didn't really want my friends to wait, as they were already eating. The space is beautiful but the service was confusing and not efficient...multiple servers assigned to us (some seemed to be in training) and none seemed very experienced or attentive. Very pricey for a very sub par meal. With all the great restaurants out there, I would NEVER go again! read more

The decor was nice! Our drinks came in dirty glasses. Our waitress was never around. My pepper tuna roll was fishy! My steak n shrimp scampi was over cooked. The only person who asked us how everything was was the valet a tended. They said everyone tonight had a bad experience. read more

After all the great reviews. I was mightily disappointed. Went for Mother's Day and the menu was very limited. Started with the 112 Roll and companion had Maryland Style crab cakes. Roll was OK but not great. Sumo has a better Patchogue Roll. Maryland Style crab cakes didn't have any hint of Old Bay - so not Maryland Style at all. For entrees I had rack of lamb - medium. Lamb was very tough and fatty - not well trimmed at all. Accompanying Lobster cake tasted primarily of salt. Asparagus were yummy. Potatoes ordinary. Companion's snapper was overly buttery and a butter flavor permeated everything. Service as just OK. Decided to skip dessert. read more
