    Cheeseburgers

    This is one of my favorite places on Long Island to go to for Happy Hour. I usually sit at the bar. The crowd is hip, and the noise depends on the size of the crowd. My favorite appetizer, the New Zealand Lamb Chops, is a must try! I get it every time I come here because it is tender, well seasoned and fresh. The temperature of the cooked appetizers and entrées is always hot. Fonzie, who is the head bartender, makes cocktails so strong that I have to limit myself to one. He is always attentive and very friendly. Be sure to ask for him. Download the "Good Life Rewards" app to get credit for dining at this Anthony Scotto restaurant: 1 point for every $1 spent, and $50 off for every 1000 points. They also text me with offers, such as $50 off if I spend over $150 during one visit.

    These are not ordinary sliders.    They are like a piece of filet mignon. Off the chart delicious

    Came for happy hour. The bartender super friendly and quick with drinks during happy hour. Specials really good place is beautiful and clean and food delicious. After happy hour the barmaid there you had to flag her down to get a drink. Usually it's the opposite he music is chill I heard they have a fun brunch would love to go hopefully the long hair dark brunette won't be bartending cause we'll never get drinks lol. Great place

    Our French martinis were delicious!

    The service on New Year's Eve was not acceptable. Everything was backed up. We didn't get seated for an hour after our reservation at 11:15. We didn't get our dinner for another hour and we've got a dessert until practically 2 o'clock in the morning. We don't know why there was such a gap. We didn't get our champagne to toast in the New Year's Eve and the food was OK. It wasn't exceptional. It was good. The clams would be asked for we were so not to order them cause I would take a longer, but they came pretty much the same time as the other appetizers the sushi they messed up on my entrée. It was supposed to be a prime rib and spareribs and then I get up getting the pasta with the prime rib. I didn't get to enjoy the dance floor cause we never made it there cause they closed that's all.

    3/4/25 menu

    3/4/25. Great location right off the LIE. Large bar with an open restaurant area. Shared the sliders, spinach dip, fried calamari and crispy rice. While the food wasn't terrible, it was just ehh. Nothing I want to order again. However, the peanut butter explosion cake was delicious and I did enjoy my pineapple vodkas. The female bartender was completely overwhelmed and inattentive. The male bartender that eventually came on was mildly better. Lackluster service and lackluster food. One and done.

    The Halston is a very nice restaurant. If inspired by the unique and unforgettable fashion icon, Halston, as the icon the restaurant is opened, plenty of windows, spacious, defined lines on the design. TH has parking; it has a full bar, incidentally, Lychee Martinis are a favorite, the Lychee Martini was by far the best I have had; kudos to the bartender. We were a party of four and enjoyed the food from appetizers to desserts. TH serves American Cuisine with a twist without doing fusion. Our server was nice, gracious, seasoned making sure we felt good with the experience. I recommend The Halston

    Great for events !!

    I recently had the pleasure of attending my boyfriend's work party at the Halston and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! His team reserved the event area, which was pretty comfortable and spacious for his group The food was no doubt, delicious, with a variety of options to suit different tastes and dietary preferences . The drinks were also top-notch, with great cocktails and opened for everyone to be able to drink! Now, The Halston I must say stand out because of the atmosphere! The place transforms into a party venue during brunch hours, with the lights dimmed and the DJ spinning lively tunes, AMAZING !!! The dance floor was a great addition, everybody had a blast dancing to the beat all afternoon! Now, if we are talking about something that can be improved: it would be to arrange the tables in a more efficient way to maximize space cause believe me, space they had. Adding to that that would have been amazing seeing little bit more of holiday decoration I must say that they were so nice accommodated everyone so we can play holida games The place, definitely exceeded my expectations and provided an unforgettable experience. I would definitely consider returning for future events!

    Brown Butter Warm Lobster Roll

    I came here for lunch with my work crew to celebrate the holidays. The restaurant's decor has changed again since it used to be Jewel and then Bijou. I thought it looks really nice and can see why it's popular with the work crowd. We had the Onion Ring Tower, the Spinach and Artichoke, and the Fried Calamari for appetizers. They were all very good and better than what I had expected. I had the Brown Butter Warm Lobster Roll for my entree. It was a very big portion with a lot of lobsters and it was pretty good. This is a nice restaurant for lunch or after-work get together with colleagues

    Walking in, The Halston certainly gives off the upscale, polished vibe it aims for. The space is modern, with a comfortable yet sleek décor and a large enough footprint to feel busy but not chaotic. For what the venue promises--an elevated American kitchen and bar by the accomplished Anthony Scotto group--there's no question the concept is alluring. The bar area, the lighting, the menu's variety, all suggest a place prepared to deliver. However, the atmosphere ended up being one of the few areas that lived up to expectations. The sushi was not the best and the steak was over cooked and tasteless, would not return, our waiters were top notch, but if the kitchen isn't pumping up the good food, it makes it hard for them to shine

    The restaurant itself is lovely - good food and good service, and modern decor. My friend and I liked our waiter - he made a few mistakes that weren't really a big deal (we didn't even mention it to him) and immediately rectified the issues. He didn't even have to! My only complaint is the crowd who goes to dance... the DJ is awesome and we love the music, but for some reason it attracts a trashy crowd (Think Jersey Shore times 10!!!). Luckily we were able to ignore that and had a lot of fun.

    We recently returned to The Halston in Melville and had such an amazing time. The food is top quality, and the hospitality is truly unmatched. We were lucky to have Kenny as our waiter. He was absolutely incredible. He gave us thoughtful, insightful recommendations from the menu, which really guided our choices. He checked in often to make sure everything was perfect and was genuinely kind and attentive the entire time. One of the highlights of the night was when Chef John, who helped prepare and arrange our meal, came by our table. He took a moment to chat with us about the restaurant's vision and menu. It made the experience even more personal and memorable. The ambience is gorgeous which is perfect for a dinner date or a fun girls' night out. We started with the yellowtail sashimi, which was super fresh, and the spicy crispy tuna, which was honestly one of the best bites of the night. The octopus was tender, the lamb chops were full of flavor, and the rigatoni was perfectly al dente. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and we're already planning to come back, especially to try their version of Sunday Funday Brunch!

    Beautiful location with no bueno food is how I would best describe The Halston. My sister in law had a coupon for this new place on Rt 110. Rt 110, where I used to work 20 years ago, route 110?? Yep, pull into the parking lot of the office building and the restaurant is to the right side. They also have an outdoor patio where you can hear the traffic... Listen, if the food was good I would care less about the location. It seems like a nice place to meet your co workers for a happy hour drink. We have reservations on Sunday night. It seems we arrived after a party, lots of young girls dressed up and walking out as we walked inside. Once inside, there is a beautiful looking bar as well as a dining room with high ceilings. It almost looks like a cruise ship, Very elegant. My wife & I grab a cocktail at the bar while we wait for our in laws. Once they arrive we grab our drinks and are escorted to our table. The menu seems pricey but for items that shouldn't be pricey like a $25 hamburger platter? We started with appetizers for the table, baked clams and calamari. The calamari was excellent and prepared in a Rhode Island style, with a little heat and red peppers. The baked clams, they tasted straight out of the box. I don't want to eat a $25 hamburger so I ordered the salmon. Salmon is the easiest fish to cook, there is no way a chef can screw it up. Man.. The skin was rubber and the fish had absolutely no seasoning. The chef overcooked the fish and served it to me. My sister in law ordered the Short Rib Gigli with braised short rib ragu. (In my Chandler Bing voice) can you "shred" the short rib? It was served cut up in chunks, it was tough to eat. Now the manager comes over. Is everything ok? Are you sure? I didn't want to tell him thought the food was yuckko. Comes time to leave and the restaurant? Its packed! Its Sunday night and the place is packed. Listen, who am I to judge? You like it here, then add a star. We're one and done.

    Chicken Parm alla vodka
    Michele C.

    Came here with friends to have one last harrah before baby arrives. It is a pretty restaurant and even loved the trees outside were decorated and lit up. The menu has something for everyone. The waitress (wish I knew her name) was very sweet and hospitable. I had the chicken Parm alla vodka with rigatoni instead of spaghetti. The portion was huge (practically falling off of the plate lol). For dessert, they allowed my friends to bring in outside cake which they came out with a big sparkler with. Another well done restaurant, Mr. Scotto! I'll be back.

    This is a new restaurant and we had the most incredible time for our anniversary dinner. We arrived early and had two drinks at the bar. The bartender, Marga, was so sweet and welcoming and made delicious drinks for us. The restaurant is large and beautiful. The menu has a good amount of options ranging from pastas, steak, sushi, and fish. My husband and I started off our meal with a sushi roll, which was delicious. They have a sushi bar in the restaurant. For our entree, I got the cod and my husband got the steak. We really enjoyed our meals. We also ordered brussel sprouts for the side and it was cooked to perfection. Crispy and exactly like we wanted. We also ordered a bottle of wine from a winery in Sonoma that we love. Great meal, service a little slow but expected for a new restaurant and ambience was everything we were looking for. We will be back!

We had some fabulous Mussels in a white broth and the Thai Calamari with peanut dressing. Both memorable. The owners are not novice restaurateurs.

    I've been avoiding this spot since it first opened a few years ago--all because of my boys opinion…read more Safe to say... I was completely misguided. I went on a Friday around 7pm and valet parking was required (not sure if that's every night). Walking in, the space is big, open, nice set up especially the wine glass displays near the entrance and bar area. We were seated in a spacious, comfortable booth. I'll start with my only real complaint: attention to cleanliness before seating guests. There were crumbs on the table and seats, crayons and food on the floor, and even some residue on the utensils. That said, once we pointed it out, everything was handled quickly and professionally. From there, the night was all positives. The staff was very nice, personable, and really knew the menu. For my entrée, I ordered the tableside lobster pasta. They actually gave me lobster chunks instead of the tail, but honestly--it worked out in my favor. It was buttery, slightly smoked, and packed with flavor. I also tried the cowboy ribeye--I'd rate it about a 7/10. It was good, but could've used a bit more seasoning to really stand out. Now the highlights: the lamb appetizer and charred octopus were both excellent. The octopus was perfectly cooked and flavorful on its own--I didn't even need the citrus garnish. And the lamb? Let's just say I was fully enjoying it... no shame, I was picking the bone clean. For sides, we had sautéed broccoli rabe and olive oil mashed potatoes--both solid choices. Drinks were on point. I had the Italian Harvest (bourbon-based), which was smooth and strong enough that one was all I needed. My wife had the Spicy Sunset--also a hit. We wrapped things up with cheesecake and wine, which was the perfect ending to the night. Overall, this was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back for more of the Italian dishes--just probably skipping the steak next time.
