Best Cozy Restaurants in Islip

Salt & Barrell is a combination of great food and great service with an energetic vibe. Whether it's the host, the manager or the server, everyone who works there is super friendly, and very accommodating. The menu evolves, so going regularly doesn't create monotony. The drinks are phenomenal, and their whiskey menu (The Bible) is extensive. They could use a little improvement on the wine list (which is very small, with not a lot of good options), but you can easily get past this. Salt & Barrell is by far one of the best restaurants in Bay Shore, and worth a visit.

Primi never disappoints. Food is delicious Service is outstanding Thanks for a great evening Michael DeCicco

Amazing food and service. We ordered raw clams, an outrageous goat cheese tart and truffle fries for apps. Entrees included the steak frites, pork chop, tomato bisque with grilled cheese and chicken/brie/raspberry jam panini. Pistachio parfait for dessert. Perfection!

Began with great service! Very friendly and proficient. Food was delicious. A little cold inside from the weather coming through the door each time it was opened, but it didn’t prevent me from having an enjoyable evening. My boyfriend loved the rib eye and the scallops were delicious! Looking forward to going back.

Very cozy location with excellent staff. The food was perfect and the drinks were better.
