Best Restaurants for Birthdays in North Babylon

We have been regulars over the years as far back as Jewel. Since Bijou and now Halston, Paul remains the top maitre d and Alicia & Kat our best servers. Now we have gone through a variety of chefs but the current one is hitting home runs. The sushi is always the best and we have never come and not ordered a roll, but beyond this, my wife was raving about her Chilean Sea Bass special last night. This is indeed a rarity and was a pleasant surprise. She also ordered the fish tacos as an appetizer and was by far the best we tasted. We always share a quinoa salad which is enough for 4 people but the taste is too complex to pass up. Now I for my main course had the brisket again and the plate is just chock full of savory goodies but bring your appetite for this one. Now as if that was not enough, we still found room for their scrumptious hot apple crisp desert and their version of banana cream pie. My wife who is a very harsh food critic is still raving about last night's dining experience. Like a fine wine, they just keep getting better with time. "Salut"

Dinner was great. The waiter was very nice and polite and knew the what specials were, didn’t rush us had a nice pleasant dinner. It was a great night. Nothing left on the table to eat. 

We were a party of eight seated at Brianna Dorazio's table. I hadn’t realized there were round tables available until I noticed an empty one. Our group was seated at two adjacent tables, so I approached the young hostess to request a move to the round table for more comfortable conversations. She informed me it was reserved, and I asked that if it became available, we could be seated there. Unfortunately, she did not acknowledge my request when the table was later set for four. At that point, the manager intervened, directing the hostess away and accommodating us with another table. After this change, our evening went smoothly. Brianna was attentive despite her busy schedule, though I did feel rushed at times as the bus staff cleared tables while some of us were still eating. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

We decided to enjoy an evening out without the kids and thought Blackstone’s would be a great treat. We were right! Rich and Jory were absolutely fantastic. Rich impressed us with his knowledge, memory and thoughtful approach. Jory was delightful in following up and tending to our needs. The food was excellent. Loved the brandy mushrooms with the ribeye flambéed before us at the table. And the Key Lime pie and coffee topped off our wonderful dining experience. Still the best restaurant on Long Island a decade after having kids!

This place is my new favorite spot. I love the atmosphere and the food. Wait staff is always excellent. I highly recommend it. Get the spicy rigatoni ala vodka
