Hubby has been picking up their garbage for years and has always wanted to try the place. It has great ambiance and the food was delicious. He had Chicken Bacon quesadilla and I had wings. Both were awesome. We also had the cheddar bacon fries which were insane!! Ask for some ranch dressing for them. We try and give all servers the benefit of the doubt and this young man was pleasant, but just not very good at his job.

No one had complaints about anything ordered. From the drinks to apps to the mains or desserts. Portions are pretty big. Shared the baked clams with my wife. I got the bone in pork chop and she got the swordfish. Both delicious. Porn chop was thick but still juicy. The swordfish was meaty and had a nice subtle flavor. The rest of the table got the calamari, oysters, crab cakes. Tried the calamari and it was very good. Didn't try the others. The rest of the table got swordfish, salmon, hamburger (huge) , chicken salad, and someone got the pasta special. All were delicious. The desserts also varied. The Oreo ice cream dessert was really good. We got the apple cobbler. That was the only item that was average. It was good. Not great not bad. Just in the middle. The crumble wasn't hot. More lukewarm. Again. Hailey was great

This was our first time at Shands since the location was the brewery. The restaurant is beautiful,…read moreand we were looking forward to celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary there. I expected more of a high-end dining experience, but it felt somewhat casual, especially where we were seated in the front section next to a window. The restaurant was fairly quiet, so perhaps they were keeping everyone in one section, but for an anniversary dinner I would have preferred the more formal dining area. I made the reservation through OpenTable, indicated that we were celebrating our 40th anniversary, and even sent a separate note to the restaurant. There was a small "Happy Anniversary" place card with our menus, which was nice, but unfortunately there was no other acknowledgment of our special occasion. I was also a little surprised by the menus. They had nice leather covers, but inside were several separate sheets of paper, which seemed unusual for a restaurant positioned as upscale. I ordered the three-course prix fixe special. The website listed it at $55, although I believe the restaurant menu said $57. I had the Korean wings, which were huge and very tasty, although extremely messy, followed by the salmon, which was good. My wife had the rigatoni and said it was very good. Overall, Shands is a beautiful restaurant and the food was good. I just expected a little more from the overall experience, particularly since we were celebrating such a special milestone

I've driven past Drifters many times and keep thinking we have to try it. So I read some reviews…read moreand noticed that Matthew N, a friend of mine wrote a positive review for Drifters. Well it's Friday and I'm trying to reinstitute "Friday Date Night". Sometimes life get complicated and it's been awhile. Okay, let's see if Matt was right. First we look over the drink menu. I'm thinking if I can get enough booze into Mrs. E this might turn out to be a great date night. Review to follow. LOL Nothing jumps out at me but their Moctails look good, so I ask if they can add alcohol to it. Sure is the answer. Ok a little known fact. When Mrs. E has a drink her face turns bright red. With this drink, no change in complexion. I call our waiter over. C'mon man you have to work with me. He returns with two shots of liquor. Yes there it is, red face. Ok enough personal stuff. Next the food. We start with Baked clams. These were really good. Next we order entrees. Mrs. E has some kind of Chicken Kabobs. I don't really care I'm busy keeping an eye on her drink. I had the soy glazed salmon. Not really a fish guy but it's a long story and you've already heard too much personal stuff. Both meals good and I may start liking fish more. BTW, our waiter was Avery. Not sure about spelling but he was pretty good. All and all a good night and meal. So why 4 Stars? Although Avery was a good waiter, service was slow, very slow. Oh a side note, we were sitting near the bar and there was a woman/bar fly type over drinking and kind of being a spectacle. A little entertainment I guess. So will I go back. Yes we will. Oh the review of Mrs. E and the drinks. Hmmm I leave that for another time. Hey Matt N, I mostly agree with your review

I am above and beyond with this restaurant!! It is located…read morein a small shopping center and I was not expecting what I experienced . Upon entering I was greeted by what seemed to be the entire staff, which pleased me me . The decor is classic and dimly lit. Making the atmosphere very intimate and inviting. We were greeted by our Waiter(not a server) who diligently explained the evening special. He took our cocktail order and listened intently because I I am a particular customer who demands my Martini just so, in other words....a pain in the ass. The bartender actually came to our table for me to make sure he made my Martini correct. Wow! My Bride Robin ordered the Classic Country style chicken , I ordered the Duck which was usually served with a peach chutney, I asked if the chef would be so kind to make me a orange glaze sauce , he was more than willing to do so. Needless to say both dishes were impeccable and wonderfully prepared. After our main course I ordered a Sambuca with coffee beans and we both ordered the Crème Brûlée garnished with fresh Raspberries and a spearmint sprig. voilà voilà voilà!!! This dinning experience was comparable to the best houses in Manhattan if not better. I am a traditionally trained Chef and I was obliviously beyond impressed. It is my personal opinion that this restaurant is an incredibly hidden culinary gem here in Patchogue . I implore you to not let the opportunity to dine here pass you by. To the owner and entire staff... I say KUDOS to a job well done . Thank you and you may look forward to seeing myself and my family in the very near future.

When in search of a place that would make my family of picky eaters happy (ie: a vegan, a…read morevegetarian, a traditionalist, and two that try to make the other three happy but like good food), WhiskeyNeat appeared like a gods-send on Yelp. I've been to Main Street Patchogue a few times before and I'm always amazed at how it's now like Huntington, with tons of eateries, bars and places to hear live music. It was a busy late Spring Friday night and my cousin told me if we were there just two weeks later (ie, post Memorial Day), there would have been lines to get in anywhere. So make resos! I made one easily earlier that day and when we arrived around 7:30, it was not packed, but it is pretty loud in there even half full. Our waiter, Jonathan, expertly took such great care of us from start to finish, even taking my father's dad jokes in stride. There's a solid cocktail menu, but I had a couple glasses of a better-than-decent prosecco. My cousin loved his espresso martini. For food, count on a couple respectable vegan entrees and I went with the Japanese eggplant with cashew ricotta. The eggplant is delicious, slightly sweet with a creamy rather than chewy (thank god) texture. The cashew ricotta is also tasty, but I do think it needed to be blended a bit more to remove the slightly grainy texture (the cashews might have needed more soaking). My father loved his French onion soup and pastrami sandwich. Separate paragraph for the fries. They deserve it. I'm glad we ordered these to share- it's an enormous platter of them. I appreciated that they were salted perfectly. I appreciate restaurants that can make satisfy a variety of preferences and dietary restrictions. The vibe here is festive and vibrant and a great choice for groups and families.

Better late than never on using it to get this five star review written up! But seriously, I thought I knew downtown Patchogue pretty well, and yet I never noticed or heard anyone really going to WhiskeyNeat until that gift card was in her possession. When we went for dinner, it was a Wednesday night on the earlier side and at the time, no one was inside this relatively small yet cozy-ish bar/pub place. I thought perhaps things here aren't that great, but by the time we left, the inside was almost full, and my feelings were definitely wrong. This place is great! Now these Wednesday crowds could be due to the half price options they throw out there all day long. ANY drink at WhiskeyNeat is half off on hump day plus there are a handful of small plates that also follow this discounted direction. I'll say things might be a little pricier if you're not coming here in the middle of the week, but it's well worth making the trip to slash at least your drinks (and maybe some grub) in two. Enough about all that because the food, drinks, and service is where this place really shines. I downed two of their bourbon cocktails (Goldrush and Billionaire) both being outstanding in taste and quality (my wife enjoyed a well-made margarita). Food-wise, we sampled some hand cut fries (delicious), short rib croquettes (delectable), a mahi taco (fresh), pulled pork slider (tender), gochujang wings (zingy), and a twice baked potato (creamy). All these items were half price (reminder, they were small plates of grub so don't freak for how much we ate). We also paid full menu price to try a side of hot honey cauliflower which was fantastic as well. Before wrapping up, I do want to give a shout out to the staff or at least our waitress who was friendly, helpful in giving us drink options, and chatted with us a bit about WhiskeyNeat and other good nearby food spots. She guided us through the menu on what to order and even realized she had forgotten to put in one of our small plate orders without us asking. Good service always helps in reaching a full slew of Yelp stars. Overall, it may have taken almost two years to use the gift card to WhiskeyNeat, but I'm glad we finally did because dang was it a superb meal. Our waitress said "You'll be back" once we told her it was our first time and even before we had finished eating everything. I mean hard to disagree with that statement. Perhaps I'd aim to save some mulah and only come on a Wednesday, but with great drinks and grub to be had, it might just be worth coming any time, gift card or not!

We actually split a bunch of appetizers, all of which were good. The oysters were fresh and shuked perfectly. The tuna stack was a much different take on a tar tar but was delicious.

The pizza was just ok and was served on essentially an English muffin. The drink menu featured some great cocktails and everything was reasonably priced. Served was friendly and attentive.
