The Marin is a cute new addition to Northport with beautiful water views! It was a little tricky to find since it's tucked all the way in the back, but there are signs to follow once you're driving in. We went on a Tuesday night and were surprised to see it pretty full. The inside is chic and cozy, with limited tables that have water views. We weren't seated there, unfortunately. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive. We started with the burrata, which was delicious and had little pieces of bacon that were a nice surprise. We love sharing dishes, so we split the steak for two with potatoes but opted for fries and finished with the carrot cake. The steak was good but nothing particularly memorable, especially for the price, but the carrot cake was honestly one of the best we've had! Overall, the food was a little pricey for what it was, but it's a new restaurant so hopefully that evolves. The space is cute, the views are great, and I love that they have shareable dishes, it's my favorite way to dine so we can try more things. We'll definitely come back and try some of the other menu items!

What a wonderful evening we had! We were so glad to finally experience the new "The Marin Coastal Kitchen". When we were seated, the place felt familiar because it was the old Whalers Tale, but totally beautifully renovated with outdoor seating and a large bar. We had a wonderful waitress, Jennifer, who gave us great food selections. We started off with Margherita pizza, which was delicious. For dinner, we had the salmon with lemon dill sauce and broccolini & the roasted chicken with gravy and mashed potatoes. Both were absolutely delicious. We somehow found a way to order the 7-layer carrot cake, and all I can say is WOW! The perfect way to end a fantastic dinner. Of course, the service and staff were excellent and very attentive throughout the entire night. Sunset photos were priceless the night before the storm.

Birdie Bar is a trendy spot with delish cocktails, apps, entrees, and daily specials…read more The surf and turf grilled cheese was amazing and was loaded with lobster and prime rib. If you are a truffle lover, be sure to upgrade your fries to the truffle fries. The fries were truly the best truffle fries I've yet to try! The toasted marshmallow martini was the special when I was there, but it was great. Service was good, no issues with the waitress, and she was accommodating to our table

Since my review of a disappointing first experience at Birdie Bar, I have returned quite a few…read moretimes (largely because there aren't many options in area and the ease of parking), and have found some dishes to be excellent. This includes the olive oil cake, bbq pulled pork nachos, crispy Brussel sprouts, smash burger (although not consistent in size), and chicken picante. The restaurant is relatively new (just reached third year anniversary), so perhaps the kitchen needed more time to prepare dishes more consistently. For the most part the food now matches the social media hype. TIP: Others have recently noted slow service, incorrect orders. I have been visiting at the start of dinner service, and have not encountered this, so some of these issues may potentially be avoided by arriving before inexperienced service staff are overwhelmed. Most people will be seated on second floor which requires walking up a staircase. If special accommodation is needed I suggest informing restaurant in advance. There is some seating downstairs, but depending of time and day this area (bar) can get uncomfortably loud.

Service (4/5): Young staff members are hustling to give you the best service they can but it is extremely busy at times. They are always courteous! Dog friendly. Street Fries - usually their fries are great and cooked with a superior crunch and coated with a nice flavored. Other times, they can be a little soggy. Bang Bang Shrimp - skippable. I like the flavor but it is usually more batter than it is shrimp. Chicken BBQ Quesadilla - big fan. There's a good portion of chicken. I might ask for the BBQ sauce on the side next time instead of drizzled on top (which is how it comes). Oysters - Questionable tasting freshness Tuna nachos - meh Tacos from best to worst - the tacos are sizable! Shells hold well too Kung pao cauliflower - surprisingly the best. thai chili sauce sticks well on the battered tempura Salmon poke - salsa and soy dressing worked well Spare rib //Korean steak - both remembered being good Hot chicken - pretty good Pork and plantain - pork belly was not too seasoned and way too much slaw portion (5:1 ratio) Surf & turf - steak was super chewy Tuna - quality of the tuna was chunky and was bleh Crispy fish taco - on both counts was the worst taco by far

We shared the street corn fries and wings as appetizers, and we each got 2 tacos. No drinks- the bill was $60 before tip. Wing flavor was good and they were decently sized. Fries were okay, and were just seasoned fries with some Cotija cheese sprinkled on top. The tacos were honestly delish. I had 2 pork tacos and my husband had the surf and turf and hot honey chicken. We loved all 4. Was the food good? Yes. Yummy and hot and fresh. Was it insane for taco lunch with no drinks to be $60? Also yes. Would I go back? Sure, if someone else is paying lol.

Base my reviews off what you pay:…read more *This place is a deli. Price - $35 (two sandwiches, no beverages) Food - 3/5 - good food, nothing special. Service - 4/5 - solid and nice. Overall - 3/5 - just another typical deli in Northport. Definitely some better ones but this place is fine. Menu is lacking a bit and a bit pricey for what you get but it is Northport Village. Staff did go a bit beyond what needed which was nice. Place was nice clean on the inside. Solid spot but nothing worth going out of your way for. Best Dish - Smash Burger

Just stopped by James Street Market for the first time today for lunch, and was delighted by their…read moredelicious Cobb Salad!! It comes in a giant plastic bowl, with a great mix of spinach, arugula, and romaine lettuce. On top sit two perfectly hard boiled eggs, half a ripe avocado, halved grape tomatoes, feta cheese, pomegranate seeds, and sunflower seeds. Also... the dressing is so good... really fresh and binds the whole thing together. I'm totally coming back to get this again!! They have a bunch of refrigerated cases with fresh fruit salads, chobani yogurt cups, and drinks that would be great for a picnic in the park. In the deli case they have a whole bunch of cold salads... chicken, egg, tuna, and a yummy looking chickpea salad that I want to try next time. According to the man working behind the counter, they opened yesterday (5/26) and are still printing out labels and menus. The whole family was helping out and welcomed me with a smile. I'm glad that this place is fulfilling that deli niche in the tradition of the northport harbor delicatessen, just with an updated and fresher take on the same classics. I'm so excited to come back for more!
