Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Shore Acres

My rice was was burnt and when I asked for replacement it was mushy, when I asked for another another one apparently the chef said it was gonna be just as mushy as well.

My party and I have been here a few times. Everything any of us ever ordered was delicious. Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. Bartender was on point, too. Cocktails were excellent. The service is always excellent. The ambiance is superb. The architecture and interior design are beautiful, especially the ceiling and woodwork in the main room with the fireplace. It is pricey once you start adding rounds of drinks to the tab, but it's worth it. We will return often. Best fine dining I've had on Staten Island by far.

The restaurant is exquisite and the service was fabulous. I highly recommend the breads & spreads, jibineh cheese, mushrooms, beets and eggplant to start. The octopus & steak skewers, the shish barak, the chicken and spaghetti. We had the cheesecake, baklava, and tiramisu. All ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We arrived about 15 minutes prior to the dinner service and were seated right away anyway. The owner was very gracious and recited the appetizer specials and then the entrée specials of the day. Service was so good that we hardly noticed plates/flatware/glasses being exchanged for new ones. The food was awesome and everything you want in French bistro. The atmosphere was very pleasant as more and more diners arrived. We were never rushed. I was dining with an old friend and of course we much to catch up on. I kept a close watch on the amount of empty tables as not to overstay our welcome. When we got our bill, realized it was over 3 hours since we arrived and again, never felt rushed. Because of that we over tipped to thank the fantastic staff and then personally thanked our gracious host (owner). We will return again to explore the menu further. Thank you, thank you thank you.

Cozy and delicious! I had the burger and putting blue cheese on it was one of the better decisions of my life.
