    We all had the Halibut with celery root puree & haricot vert. It was absolutely delicious. Dinnertime (on a Monday) was much quieter than lunchtime so it was nice that it wasn't too loud. Also they didn't rush us out. We lingered & chatted even after we paid the bill. Much enjoyed.

    Lake House has been a stand out restaurant in Bay Shore for years. After they moved closer to the Fire Island Ferry dock and built their new location I was afraid that size might negatively impact the overall fantastic experience that has always been Lake House's standard. No chance! It's still one of the top restaurants on Long Island and the service, food and ambiance remains excellent. Consistency in the restaurant business is always the most difficult achievement and Lake House meets that bar with flying colors. Thanks to them for a terrific meal on Saturday night!

    My wife and I visited Dimon Estate Restaurant last night for restaurant week. The value was incredible. The food was par excellent. The staff was friendly and very attentive. My wife had the grilled shrimp appetizer and I had the cranberry Brie with honey. Both were delicious. We both had the pan seared salmon with the dill sauce over a generous amounts of a creamy purée of sweet potatoes and grilled asparagus. So yum! The desserts were on point. Especially, my go to favorite crème brûlée. All and all another great experience on a Fall Sunday night out on the NF!
