Since 1972, we've believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous 'Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    One of my favorite restaurants. The food is delicious and the staff couldnt be any better. Went on a Saturday night and the place was packed. Love having Valet service in the cold weather. The restaurant is beautiful inside. I had chicken parm which was delicious. The bread pudding is something you must try. Thanks Nonna! We will be back soon.

    This was our first time here, and we were blown away. From the gorgeous decor and ambiance, to the delicious food and attentive service -- 5 stars across the board. Our server Marc was extremely friendly and delightful. He was amazing with our two kids, and made the best recommendations. Food came quick, and Marc kept our glasses filled and table clean. The manager of the restaurant stopped by more than once to check in. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and was abke to be seated by their beautiful flower display as per my request. We are native New Yorkers, always looking for something that reminds us of the city without the overbearing crowd, and this place passed the vibe check. Bring your significant other on a date, or celebrate a special occasion.... its the perfect place for either.

    Wonderful romantic, classy but with a modern vibe restaurant located on the beach. Breathtaking marble floor with outstanding fireplace. We were celebrating a special birthday and were greeted at the door with warm and upbeat attitude. Wait staff was absolutely amazing. Menu is French Seaside American. Limited menu with one special. Loved the signature cocktail list. Onion soup was outstanding. Our food was good but did not live up to the rest. Very pricey for everything and there was a disconnect from food to high price.

    Beautiful restaurant. Lovely attentive staff. We went on a Thursday, not in the summer, so perhaps that was why it was nice and quiet! The food was delicious. There were six of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. I even had leftovers for my husband to enjoy the next day I can't wait to go back because there are other things I would like to try

    Tonight we had fajitas and they were awesome! Had our favorite waitress, Brooke, who as usual made our experience there perfect. Love having waitstaff that remember you and automatically bring your drinks over when they come to your table. She always has a smile even when she is crazy busy! Great service and food as usual.
