Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Sea Cliff

I went to Oak and Vine last night with two other couples. I know this address has been home to a number of other restaurants. The decor was nice and fresh and noise level low-moderate. The menu has something for everyone, including a number of daily specials. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. There is a wide variety of wines, beers, specialty cocktails and mocktails. We started with homemade corn bread (not to be missed). Caesar salads, roasted carrots and cauliflower with ricotta and delicious crusty , toasted bread. For the mains, mussels, tomato soup with grueyer cheese, homemade pasta with seafood and sliced steak . Everyone raved about their meals. Our waitress made sure we were satisfied and our water glasses filled. Two thumbs up.

This restaurant is a GEM. Don't miss it. The food is spectacular, as one might expect from an owner who has been the Chef at Michelin star restaurants in NYC. The only difficulty you will have with the menu is choosing among the offerings. That difficulty gets worse after you have been there a few times, as each item you have previously had calls to you as you decide. One must be disciplined in forcing a new and different menu choice from your list of favorites. But rest assured, you will LOVE whatever new dish you select. Though the menu is moderately expensive, the portion size is ridiculous, In the many times my wife and I have been there we have always taken half of our dinners home for an excellent home meal the next evening. On top of the great food, great service, great value and quiet noise level, you will thoroughly enjoy Chef Joe's visit to your table during your visit. He is a joy to speak with and leaves a very comfortable sense of familiarity that will be there on your future visits. DON'T MISS THIS RESTAURANT!

Excellent service, fresh, delicious well-prepared food. Juicy roasted chicken with mushrooms and asparagus is yummy and so are their salads. They also can accomodate for Gluten allergy. Highly recommend this lovely place.

Great food and service for a special romantic dinner. The decor matches a Gatsby theme and there is a nice lakeside view for those seated next to the windows or outside in warmer weather.

Always a pleasurable experience dining at The Atlas. Have returned many times. Especially enjoy the Wed. evening live music. The wait staff is always warm and inviting, and very attentive. Beautiful ambiance as well. Just go!
