Best Contemporary American Restaurants in East Farmingdale

Kilmer our waiter could not have been nicer. He was helpful and made our dining experience especially special. The cocktails were delicious. The Bryant Salad I shared with my husband could have been enough for 4. I had the pan seared chicken and my husband had the halibut. Both exceptional. Finished off the even with iced cappuccinos and shared the apple torte. The staff so graciously sang happy birthday to my husband! Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful restaurant very nice view overlooking the bay beautiful food presentation, quality ,and excellent pairings& combinations ….very impressive job done by the chef, wait staff extremely well dressed, courteous and always checking on you and yet not rushing you . I am looking forward to coming back again ,absolutely love this restaurant!!!! 

Our servers Kenny and Brianna were excellent. They brought a lot of energy and definitely enhanced the dining experience. They both made recommendations that turned out to be on point. The apps were tremendous, tuna tartare and lobster dumplings. We also had the Halston roll and the Holiday roll which was a special, both were off the charts. Everyone enjoyed their entrees except the bronzing which I was told was dry and an overall swing and a miss. The scampi and ribs were delicious. The PB&J desert was ridiculous.

Food is out of this world. It took exceptionally long to get our food however. We arrived at 6:30 and did not get our food till almost 8. Noise level was a bit loud but we could still talk at our table. Waitress was friendly and prompt. I particularily appreciated how often our water was filled.

We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
