    This is my favorite. Swordfish w pineapple mango salsa on a crab cake on wilted spinach.  Always perfect.

    Very reliably good. Great Bar Tender. Ask him to do the cork trick. Menue has standards as well as new dishes. My husband loves to get pork chop Milanese which is always great and too big to finish. Recently up graded/ redecorated except booths in back. Some High tops too. Thank you Spiro!

    Filet mignon was tender and cooked perfectly

    Haven't been here in over 25 years. Heard friends talking about it so decided to give it a try. Ended sending back 2 dishes, food is mediocre. Being a big fan of Spyros assumed it would be of equal quality. Not even close. Sorry better restaurants in the area, not a fan.

    We've been back to this restaurant many times since their renovations, and love what they have done to the decor and atmosphere of this restaurant. The food is still amazing, and so is the service, but the new bar and decor is absolutely beautiful! Their other restaurant Spiro's was the more upscale restaurant, but now the Sea Basin is just as awesome now. They also have a great happy hour here, and the bartenders really know how to make perfect drinks! We were really happy with everything we had on the bar menu, except for the wings, but that could have been an off night for that. In the past, they were great. We will definitely be back here again and really love the fact that they are right down the road from us. 25 A where they are located is a very busy area, but the Sea Basin has plenty of parking so that is never a problem. If you haven't been to this place, or haven't been back since the renovations, you have to go. You won't be disappointed :-)

    Randomly stumbled upon this place as we were looking for a seafood place to eat at during our trip to LI. Everything we ordered was not only fresh, but extremely flavorful. The portions of the happy hour appetizers were huge. The mussels in the garlic butter sauce and shrimp scampi are two of my most memorable dishes and would go back for just that. Though the other food looked and tasted just as delicious. Our waitress was extra friendly - just wished she warned us at how big the portions were. The only reason I took one star away was because fried calamari we ordered were slightly chewy for my liking but my friend enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to trying the lobster next time . This was a great find.

    Manhattan Clam Chowder - accidentally ordered bc not specified in menu

    We came here for lunch during a visit with my MIL. She was given rave reviews of this place by some friends. Being that we were in Long Island, I figured that the seafood would be amazing and I was looking forward to enjoying a great meal. We were led to our table upon arrival. The host, managers and servers were very nice. The service was OK but there definitely were times we felt we were waiting to get the bill or for our food. We were there around 4-5 and once 5P hit, the patronage significantly increased. When we first sat, we were given house garlic bread for the table. I was excited but the bread was really hard with almost no garlic butter on it so it was super dry. It was kind of disappointing. I would have rathered plain warm bread with soft butter. We didn't come for the bread so I I went on to peruse the menu. I opted for a skinny paloma which was really good and I love that they coat the rim with tajin. Great touch. I had my heart set on some clam chowder and I ordered that but they don't specify what kind it is and I was brought Manhattan clam chowder, which I don't like much. I was able to swap it out for their lobster bisque which was ok but a little bland and way too thick. For our entrées, I got my kiddo the fried shrimp which came with streak fries. She wasn't feeling anything on the kiddie menu so I just took a stab in the dark and ordered that. The shrimp are big and it's a good portion size but I'm not sure if it's worth the price tag. Hubby had chicken parm which came with a side of linguine and sauce. It was good and he was in heaven with one of his favorite dishes. My MIL had the seafood platter and liked it. I had the stuffed lobster tail and did not like it at all. The dish came with huge asparagus spears which were well cooked. There were also two clam shells with baby scallops in them. They were soooo over cooked. It was like chewing on gum drops. The lobster tail was also very overdone. The stuffing tasted overly sweet and was just weird. It was more breading than crab and very disappointing. I think this dish was $38 and IMO, not worth it. My MIL commented that City Island restaurants would have costed more and not tasted as good and I had to disagree. The seafood was over cooked, bland and cost way too much for the subpar preparation. If this seafood was fresh, the kitchen staff ruined good product. If you're used to seafood being prepared like this, you may enjoy it but if you've ever had top tier seafood, you'll know this just isn't it. I'm sure their fish is probably good but the big money items, like lobster, should be 100% perfection for the prices they charge. As I said, everyone else enjoyed their food. The service was ok but definitely could have been better. There seemed to be some disconnect in where dishes were supposed to go but the staff was very nice. After our meal, my daughter got a nice big cup of chocolate ice-cream with plenty of huge maraschino cherries. We ordered some hard seltzers with tequila sidecars, and my tip would be to ask for orange slices with tajin as opposed to limes with salt. Thank me later.

    Came here for my sister's birthday with the family. We had come in for a party of 6, no reservations. The place was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon so it was no problem seating us. We were given menus and bread as soon as we sat down. Right away, we ordered drinks: - pinot grigio - sauvignon blanc - 2 peach watermelon sangrias - Save the Robot beer For appetizers we had: - fried calamari for two - steamed mussels with garlic, olive oil, and white wine sauce For entrees we ordered: - linguini with clam sauce - white sauce with all the natural juices - linguini with shrimp and clam sauce - white clam sauce with all their natural juices - sea basin platter - broiled lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, and flounder served with rice - 2 chef's special - stuffed shrimp, stuffed flounder, bard clams and scallops served with rice - crusted halibut with scallops and angel hair pasta Everything was delicious. Great portions for the price. Great serving staff who were all quick and knowledgeable of the menu. This was the first time being here for all of us and we all loved it! I look forward to trying other things on their menu.

    Firstly I'm a retired executive chef and have opened and run three Italian restaurants over my 26…read moreyrs of experience.My family eats at Pompei 's 2-3 times a year when I visit from Tennessee. The food has always been good but this time it was excellent with huge portions. My wife had the clams and absolutely loved it. Only my dad could finish all his! It comes with some nice warm types of bread and real butter pads. If you aren't totally full they give you mini cannolis at the end. The service was prompt and attentive, our waitress seemed fairly new and inexperienced but she made up for all the little errors with a smile and " ill take care of that immediately". Since the full remodel the place is very elegant and very comfortable, beautifully appointed.Well the only quibble I had was and I don't know if its I'm from Tennessee or i its just I know exactly food costs but I'm guessing the menu was up 25 to 50 percent since last time we were here before the remodel. Maybe its just New York but here 's the deal great food, good portions,good service, excellent ambiance just bring your wallet.

Gave us the wrong sauce on the penne primavera. Menu stated cream sauce and I requested substitute red sauce instead. Was delivered with cream sauce. Called restaurant and got nothing but arguments from person who answered phone, who said my American born husband cannot read English, to the "manager" who seemed totally unaware that the menu stated cream sauce. Finally "manager" read menu item and realized it says "cream sauce." Said they could not deliver what we wanted and that we had to pick it up. Was able to instantly get refund from Door Dash, plus $10 Door Dash credit.
