Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Merrick

Had yet again a great time at NK restaurant. Went for brunch with a friend. Food was great ( I had the lamb chops as appetizers and my friend ordered wings). Our server Nigel, was great, friendly and thoroughly explained the menu to us. Our entrees were great as well. I ordered the codfish and ackee meal and my friend ordered grits. We were stuffed and satisfied. I’ll be back soon!

Peter is all over everything including food, staff and bar. So friendly to all of the customers. Bacala's has been there for so many years when prior to this restaurants came and go at this location. Peter Hewitson is the difference. He is passionate about the restaurant and is always there with a smile and running all over keeping things running smoothly.

Very crowded but not too noisy. Comfortable seating, tables spaced well. We had a striped bass special that was fresh and tasty, and a delicious coconut martini that tasted like a straight up pina colada. Always a good meal at fair prices and not impossible to get a reservation even at popular times.

What a gem!!! Great festive decor, a crowded spot. Even with a late reservation. The food was top tier the zucchini appetizer was decadent in every way. Our meal was hot served promptly and had delicious rich flAvor. we can't wait return!

I always enjoy coming to Dunns River. The music is good, the food is amazing and it’s the only sit down Caribbean experience that is top tier compared to the normal hole in the wall establishments with the plex glass separating the customers. Home run for date night. My only wish is that the music isn’t so loud all the time. It’s so hard to have a conversation. I stayed away from Friday & Saturday and picked a weekday date night thinking it would be a quieter background noise kind of night. Nope. We were still shouting at each other. After our meal we ending up walking around in the rain so we could hear each other lol. Something to consider for management maybe.
