The service is impeccable and for the cost per dish the wait staff really is top notch. The food is delicious! I did not enjoy the bacon because I thought it would be thick slabs but it was one very thick piece, more like prosciutto. Colossal crab meat app (MP), 1/2 dozen BP oysters ($18) and Caesar salad ($18) were very fresh! 5/5 duck fat French fries ($10) .Whipped potato, creamed spinach and 5 cheese Mac sides ($16/each) are served à la carte,and delicious! Bone marrow butter ($6) = delicious. While rich and not preferred to American, the 4 oz Japanese A5 wagyu ($65) melts in your mouth. Snake River Farms 10 oz filet ($95) is delicious but pretty expensive, can def tell the difference between the quality beef and the re regular 10 oz filet ($79) but both are delicious.

USDA Prime steaks did not disappoint ( ordered the Cowgirl Bone-in Ribeye with bone marrow butter- just delectable) and surprisingly the seafood dishes were fresh and done just right- not dry at all!

It had been years since we'd been to J&R Steakhouse. We were craving steak tonight but didn't feel…read morelike paying typical steakhouse prices, so we remembered J&R and decided to stop in. They had so many great deals, but we went with the 42 oz. tomahawk to share. The deal came with an appetizer, salad, your choice of sides, and cheesecake for dessert. We upgraded the salad to soup for just a few dollars more and chose the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes for our sides. Everything was absolutely delicious! For only $70, it was an amazing deal and plenty of food. The service was great too, which is always a big plus for me. We'll definitely be back. Great deals, delicious food, and good service. You really can't beat that!

Ok so where do I even start... Throughout the years I've…read morebeen leaving anonymous reviews on each restaurant, some very good, some very bad. Il Piccolo Villaggio one of people's favorite Italian places in Long Island, some call the hidden gem! If you are new to this place you might love it, like I did throughout the times I've been to this restaurant. Now, this restaurant not too long ago was full of some of the greatest servers I've seen in the Island and had an absolute outstanding incredible service! But it's coming to an end. When you go to an Italian restaurant you expect great food and great service with an adult and people with experience make your night. Lately this restaurant has had many issues with that now is full of kids and girls trying to do this job like is a game, don't get me wrong I am not against female servers or kids getting new jobs, but for me this is not the place to be if you are going to do the real server/waiter/waitress job. Water not being served, not knowing THEIR OWN MENU, not serving the wine after they sell like its self service. If you sell pour help the costumer serve the wine don't just open serve one time and leave because you will not get a good tip and even ask for a good review like this girl does. You walk by or just sitting down you see people looking for their server to ask for water or pour wine themselves. Now why the 3 stars and not 2 or 1? I still see this kid Jeff and always with a good smile on his face, the last good and old school server I know after the 2 old ones left, this kid and the food is the reason some people do go back. Many will say oh it's just because you like this kid but no. Go yourself ask for him and you will see a difference in the service! Sometimes the menu and specials are repetitive and I I tell him make me something he always surprises me! His way of serving the old school way makes me feel hope for this restaurant. Manager or owner if you see this please save your service, take this review as a kind message to get your level back to where it was. We the neighborhood, the community still want Il Piccolo Villaggio to be top choice for Italian cuisine around here.

I've been meaning to try Bayberry for a while & I saw a post about their happy hour so decided to…read moregive it a try. Happy hour at the bar is from 12-7pm with the bar bites available after 4pm. The place is very nicely decorated and exudes an upscale but unpretentious vibe. I ordered a glass of the pinot noir which was tasty and at $6 a nice bargain. I got the chickpea fries and was surprised by the texture. It was almost custard like with a slight chickpea flavor in a very light breading. Served with the harissa aioli it made for a nice app. After a while I decided to try the Filet mignon sliders, which I ordered medium rare, the bartender said they don't usually take a temp on those but he'd note it. The meat is sliced very thin but was tender and still had a bit of red. The arugula gave it a nice peppery bite. My only critic is the slider roll was very cottony, but the overall taste was very good. I'll definitely be back and will try something off the regular menu.

Bayberry is a lovely restaurant and bar with small but specific menu of tasty looking options…read more The Mr and I along with our newborn were looking for a new near by seafood locations and came across them and decided to give them a try. As mentioned they try to offer fresh, seasonal apps, handhelds, salads and entrees. The protein entree options only offer two to three chicken, pork, steak, seafood selections along with a couple of pasta infused dishes. They have a full bar, so if a beer or cocktail is wanted you do have options there as well. The Mr selected the Chilled Shrimp & Crab Stack, but eliminated the hard boiled egg aspect and thought it was light, tasty and refreshing. I opted for the Faroe Salmon with shrimp that came accompanied/on top of a risotto and peas. I thought cooked medium was perfect making it soft and fork flaky to mix along together. It was a very juicy sizable piece making it very filling. We didn't have time for a dessert, but noted they did have a few offerings there. Also noted they had very well kept mens/woman's and family restroom with baby changing table. Thanks! Would highly recommend this location to others.

There is limited parking in the small lot in the back but there is street parking. There is a small bar area that was quite busy when my brother and I visited on a recent Tuesday at 7pm. I don't know if they have 'happy hour' but it seemed to quiet down not long after that. The dining area is not large but there are quite a number of tables and for a Tuesday many were occupied at that time with everyone from couples to families to singles. Complimentary bruschetta was brought along with a bread basket of a rustic bread w/olives and a white bread. There is a very extensive wine list along with a good selection by the glass. The standard menu is huge and they also had a full page of specials. We started with the crab cakes for an app and we mentioned we'd be sharing. I was impressed that they brought us each 1 plated. My brother had a Veal chop special, enough for two meals, that was stuffed with spinach, prosciutto & cheese in a brown mushroom gravy. He enjoyed it tremendously I have a chicken special that was stuffed with spinach, sausage, ricotta in a light tomato sauce. It was very tasty and a large portion. I took half home. There were also several dessert specials, we had a pistachio creme brulee which was just ok and a rainbow cookie crusted cheesecake which was outstanding. Everything from the service to the food was above average and I won't hesitate to go again and soon

We would have sat in the main dining room but there was a private group in there so we sat at the bar. So glad we did. Our server / bartender Nicole welcomed us immediately and took our drink orders. My wife had a Moscow Mule and I had an IPA. My wife said her mule was perfect! The beer was good and the taps are obviously well maintained. We each ordered burgers and shared an order of onion rings. Our burgers came perfectly prepared (rare) and the fries were crispy and delicious. The onion rings were a huge portion and were equally good. For what we ordered the bill was more than reasonable, the food great for bar food and our server, Nicole, was outstanding. See you again soon Harp and Hound.

I went for Wednesday Boozy Bingo. I arrived at approx 6:15pm and the place was packed but I managed to find a spot at the bar. Was served my drink quickly and given menus.

Slow-braised mojo pork shoulder, grilled smoked ham, melted swiss/gruyere, Grey poupon mayo, sweet pickle-cherry pepper relish and dill pickles on pressed Cuban bread. Served with a warm mojo dipping broth and Hound fries JACK DANIELS RIBEYE SANDWICH Herb butter brushed sourdough, grilled ribeye, melted gruyere cheese, arugula and sauteed mushrooms and onions in a Jack Daniel's sauce. Served with Hound fries BLACK AND BLUE PASTRAMI Toasted marble rye, melted blue cheese, sliced pastrami. pastrami rub aioli and tangy pickled red cabbage. Served with Hound fries LOBSTER TRAP Creamy lobster mac and cheese finished with toasted old bay panko. Topped with a double smash burger on a toasted brioche bun, candied bacon, sharp cheddar, pickled red onions and an Old Bay roasted garlic aioli. Crispy onions and scallions I chose the Cuban and when they say Colossal they meant it. It could easily feed 2 even 3 people. The pork was outstanding, the ham a bit overcooked and warning the cherry pepper relish has a real kick so if you're not into spicy be ware. The fries were shoestring with their signature seasoning blend. I took home more then half. Once the bingo started it cleared out a bit but still busy. I hope some they put some of the other specials back on the menu as I'd like to try all of the above.

These fries were made to order and served piping hot, with a perfect delicate crispness that held up beautifully under the generous toppings. The meat was tender, flavorful, and clearly slow-cooked with care. Every bite was better than the last -- honestly, it was even better than I expected. The food truck itself was impressively clean and smelled incredible from the mix of barbecue and fried goodness wafting out. The very beautiful woman taking orders had such a kind, pleasant face that she instantly brightened my day. And major kudos to the cook -- whoever's running the grill is an absolute star. I'm already craving a second plate! If you ever catch the Dang BBQ truck at an event, do yourself a favor and order the Piggy Fries. You won't regret it.
