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.

Absolutely unacceptable and incredibly disappointing experience. We chose this establishment to…read morewatch the Super Bowl with our children and friends, expecting to enjoy the full event like every other paying customer. Instead, during the halftime show, the bartender deliberately muted Bad Bunny's performance and played completely different music over it. When bad bunny was playing we heard the bartender say, "What the F is this?" And when he muted it the customers in front of him said "Thank God." The owner or manager tried to make an excuse that there was a glitch with their system which was clearly BS, which was confirmed. This was not only unprofessional, it was blatantly disrespectful to customers who specifically came to watch one of the biggest televised events of the year. A business has no place forcing personal opinions, biases, or politics onto guests who are simply trying to enjoy a nationally broadcast program. The most upsetting part was watching my daughter become visibly upset after being excited all day to watch the performance, only to have it ruined by a staff member's personal decision. No customer -- especially children -- should have to miss part of a major event because an employee decided their preferences mattered more than the patrons'. Bad Bunny is a Grammy-winning global artist, and Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. Regardless of anyone's personal views, deliberately censoring part of the Super Bowl broadcast is inappropriate, exclusionary, and completely unacceptable for a public establishment. We will absolutely not be returning, and I hope management seriously addresses this behavior so other families do not have their experience ruined the way ours was.

We stopped by on Christmas Eve Eve, and it was such a fun, low-key way to kick off the holiday. The vibe was super chill the second we walked in. A solid neighborhood brewery with good energy. The bartender was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference, especially during a busy holiday week. It felt like the kind of place where regulars hang out, but newcomers are just as welcome. They had live music going that night, which added to the cozy, festive feel without being overwhelming. You could still talk, laugh, and actually enjoy your beer, which I appreciate! It felt more like background vibes than a full-on concert, in the best way. I ordered the Lindy Light, and it was exactly what I wanted: crisp, refreshing, and easy to drink lager. Perfect if you're not looking for something super heavy or complicated. The tap list had a nice mix overall, so whether you're into lighter beers or want something with a little more character, there's definitely something for you. They also have NA and cocktail options. The space itself is casual and comfortable. Nothing fancy, but that's part of the charm. It's the kind of place you can pop into for one beer and end up staying longer than planned. Friendly staff, good beer, live music, and an easygoing vibe. I'd absolutely come back, especially around the holidays or anytime I'm in the area looking for a relaxed hang.

Well, it was amazing. Clams, cheese, garlic. Sounds weird, but don't knock it till you try it. The wait staff was exceptional. Very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this spot! Seems like one of the few places that stays open past 9PM and has food available (pizza).

Price - $110 (2 appetizers, pizza, 2 drinks, tip) Food - 2/5 - tasted premade. Service - 3/5 - fine and on par. Ambiance - 4/5 - decent vibe inside. Overall - 3/5 - ok spot that doesn't have the best food in town. Did have high expectations going in here but food was a let down. Pizza was ok but appetizers tasted old and potentially premade (i.e. not made fresh). Drinks were fine. Service was good but waitress was noticeably put off when we didn't order entrees. Inside was actually really nice. Open kitchen design and renovated nicely. Pizza oven is on display too. Cool place but not worth a stop. Best Dish - Carmine Pizza Would Return - Not Likely

I was treated rudely from serving the drink and I talked at by a bartender around 4:30-5pm. I won't give specific details of the woman which is suffice of in this review. I could've have left the drink and moved on but instead I didn't leave a tip. So when I went elsewhere for dinner. The restaurant told me that ppl have complained about the bartender. Anyway, thought the public should know that if you are not a guy don't expect to be treated well. However im from Brooklyn and not even in my town we treat ppl that way. I will return to northport but definitely not going to this bar again.

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.

The Mediterranean plate is another one of my go to's. Last time I went, they were out of some wines so we opted for a red blend which was good. It's a small restaurant/bar so if you're looking for cozy and quiet, try to go earlier. If you get there on a Friday night after 8, it' can get very loud because they usually have live music and it gets busy. My friend and I made a 6:30 reservation so we were pretty much finished with our meal before it got really busy in there. They usually have great live acoustic music so stay to check them out!

Was having a good time... then the food came…read more This place has of the makings of being really great. The foundations for making a great restaurant seem to be there. Perhaps with time and more "of a break-in period" they will emerge as a new jewel in the NorthPort food scene. But for me, at this time, they need a little work on the cuisine side. Here is my 2 star experience. The Much-hyped Branzino in Northport seemed like the perfect choice for a birthday dinner, and we were excited to finally try it. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. The bar area is sleek and polished, and the overall décor is thoughtfully done. The ambiance really stands out--beautiful finishes throughout, and a large ficus tree with lights gives the space a dramatic, warm, upscale feel. It definitely sets the tone for what you expect to be a great evening. We were seated comfortably at a table for five, which was spacious and elegantly set. The staff was exceptional--friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed invested in making sure we had a great experience. It felt like we had a whole team taking care of us, and that level of service really stood out. Drinks and cocktails arrived quickly, and bread was brought to the table shortly after. The menu is diverse, though somewhat repetitive--featuring similar fish prepared in different ways, along with a mix of burgers, steaks, and pasta. The specials sounded appealing, and we were looking forward to our choices. Overall, the atmosphere and service were top-notch and created a lot of excitement for the meal ahead ... Then the food arrived. I and my fellow diners and I were so disappointed. The wagu meatballs were dry and overcooked, the fried calamari was tough and tasteless. The fish entrees we ordered were overcooked and also dry or otherwise drenched in a tasteless undefinable sauces that rendered the protein mushy and inedible. The steak (ordered medium to rare) lacked any flavor that a good quality marble of fat would have provide and sadly looked as if it was seared on too low of heat, causing a large brown ring of over cooked meat around a very small barley pink center. Sadly, the meal was left nearly uneaten and no one wanted to take their leftovers home. The price was on the high side, and the quality of the meal left all of us feeling a little sad. In the end... we finished dinner early and we ended up going to carvel and went home for coffee and desert. I'll try it again - but it may be waaay later this summer.
