Before even being seated a number of the things went wrong. They walk us out to the alley which they called the atrium where we had to wait to be seated in a secluded area where kitchen staff walked back and forth with dishes. While we were offered drinks while waited no one else was there waiting to. When we were finally seated we were seated at a booth that was right by the doorway, a vent, and speaker. The staff did not pull the table out to help us sit down nor did they wait for us to be seated. When our server came over, we were already uncomfortable and wanted to speak to the manager. While they said they were gonna move us to a bigger table and upgrade the wine. They ended up moving us to a larger space and a smaller table. At this point, we werent happy and the manager seemed confused. She went to get the owner and the chef came out of the kitchen. He said he would accommodate us and than he made a comment that I found extremely unnecessary for someone who works in the hospitality industry. He ended doing the exact opposite and we left. As we were walking out he seemed surprised and thought we wouldnt leave. I dont care how good your food is or how long youve been in business if you arent going to make your guest feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. I have no plans on returning.

My friend and I recently had a very disappointing experience My friend had called and made reservations for 2/20/2016 Saturday at 5 pm. She was given the specifics that this would be a 22 course tasting, cost $125 per person and payment of cash/check is accepted. We arrived and were seated by our server who then informed us that this would be 15 to 20 course tasting. We were stunned, somewhat confused. We were served 13 course tasting, then desert arrived which we turned away as we expected more. Our server came to the table and told us the next tasting would have been quail eggs but they ran out of this and which is why the desert was sent out. No attempt made to substitute/ or give us any other options for repeat of prior tasting nor was there a cost adjustment, My friend and I left very disappointed. We each sent an email to the restaurant on Sunday on 2/21. We did not receive a response. On 2/27 I called the restaurant, confirmed that this was to have been a 22 course tasting. I then related the previously mentioned. I did not receive any apology or any attempts of customer service, only that they hoped I would try again to dine at their restaurant. I told her that I would not return to their restaurant nor would I recommend them as they fell short of what they advertised.

We celebrated our sons 30th birthday this past Saturday. To make it more special we decided on the tasting menu. Upon arriving we were greeted by Angelina and Donna. Their warm and outgoing personalities made us immediately feel at home. We squeezed into 1 of the large tables in the corner, makinig it even more intimate. After taking drink orders, they asked if there were any dietary restrictions(which they handled to perfection). The food than started coming and didnt stop until dessert. While everything was to perfection, the group had some favorites. Among them, the spicy tuna tartare, spring rolls and dumplings. The shrimp scampi was seasoned to perfection.as were the ribs. The king crab on mashed potatoes and truffle raviolis.were so unusual and out of this world. House specialties of meatballs, eggplant parm and pasta also hit the spot. The veal marsala was like butter and perfectly cooked. The assortment if desserts were the icing on the cake and came with candles. The portion sizes were perfect for such a feast of fresh and flavorful delights. Michael and Maria the owners who we remembered from their Mirpoix/Glen Head days came out to greet us as well. They are to be congratulated on perfection at every level. We will most definitely make return visits.

VERY disappointing !!!! Service was terrible ....we were 6 people sitting in an area the size of a phone booth ! food items brought out in record SPEED ! for 6 people the portions were soooo tiny...and 4 shrimp for 6 people? you had to eat SO FAST because the next plate was brought out before we were finished! We were never served there highlight dish of the *meatballs* we were told we were DONE? so I asked: Really when do we get the *MeatBalls*.....and then they were brought out to us.......truly NOT worth waiting for. We requested Capachino....OH we do not have it tonight??? NO Decaf coffee....Only Expresso. A few dessert items on a plate very tiny to share with 6 people !!! Rediculous !!! The bill came to $325.00 per couple! TOTALLY not worth it ! This is a Dining Experience not worth repeating

Great food in this cozy little place in Northport. Cant knock the unlimited wine, although it might be nice to have a little more selection. Preparation is great, service is great, meatballs are great. The only nit is that - while youre paying good money and therefore want to get your moneys worth - it would be nice to have a little more balance in the menu (ie if they threw in a just few more greens to balance out the barrage of delicious meat and seafood). All in all, this place lives up fairly well to its reputation.

Food is generally outstanding, but the consistency isnt what I expect at a >$150pp price point; Ive had 2 amazing meals and 1 that was just good. Service and ambiance are always fantastic though, and thats a big part of the draw. If youre a first time customer, the tasting menu is really the only way to go. For repeat customers, just be conscious that the tasting menu changes relatively slowly. Great if you want to share the experience with new people, less so if youre looking for a new set of surprises.

This is definitely our go-to place for a special night out. This last time had to be the best food ever. Starting with the amazing lobster bisque, moving on to the raw bar, a choice of sushi made to order by the new sushi chef,ravioli in cream sauce, quail eggs, lamb chop (!), etc, etc, etc. Yes, the space is tight. Yes, the service of each course can be a bit speedy. But the variety and quality of the food, the bountiful pouring of wine, the friendliness of the staff make for a truly good time.

Food is outstanding. We had the tasting menu and the food just keeps coming. Its quite expensive and, I have trouble spending over $200 for dinner (Just food, no drinks). The service was wonderful as well. This is a nice place for a special occassion. They do allow customers to bring their own bottle of wine which they will uncork and pour for you. Allow for at least an hour and a half as the pace is relaxed but, not slow.
