Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Merrick Park

Excellent as always! Great job to the Mariposa team led by Mike. Always attentive, professional and the food is amazing!

From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the warm and inviting family atmosphere. The service was impeccable, with Ernie, the owner and waiter, providing attentive and personalized care. The food was simply extraordinary. My wife indulged in a delightful journey of flavors, starting with the creamy polenta, followed by an unforgettable carpaccio that was truly out of this world. The pear and gorgonzola ravioli were a symphony of textures and tastes, and the short rib risotto... well, let's just say I'm seriously considering naming my firstborn after it! The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and a charming ambiance made this dining experience truly unforgettable. We will undoubtedly be returning soon and spreading the word to everyone we know. Highly Recommended!

Valentina, our waiter, was amazing from helping to select the wine to truly making our anniversary dinner super special. Ambience and food was outstanding. Will be back!

This was our third time @ Erba. We've Loved it every time! From the minute you walk in you can tell you are in for a fine dinning experience. The ambiance is very nice and the music is perfect. Our server, Axel was also amazing. They work as a team and seem to pay attention to details well. Again we had the lettuce salad which is a lot of lettuce but is amazing with the truffle vinaigrette if you are wanting to get some veggies in. The butter candle doesn't get old for me and although I'm not a big bread eater, I always enjoy their bread! The truffle ravioli is always great, just too little. My husband also had the lamb rack which was great. The mussels Fra Diablo were not great and neither was the foie gras. The tomato based sauce for the mussels was interesting, but the mussels themselves were just not Good. They were chewy and had a lot of sand. Pistachio ice cream is a must!

Thai donuts with dulce leche?! What a great idea ! We loved the suggestion Giselle gave us. Thanks for taking care of us, our guest was very impressed.
