Have eaten all over the world...but honestly, Michael is a world class chef. His daughter, Cassandra is an amazing sommelier and a gem! His wife is a doll! This place is truly a hidden gem and a first rate, top notch dining experience. Have been coming here for years and it is consistent and comfortable; amazing and wonderful. Enough said! Kudos!!!
Amazing! Had the sesame calamari appetizer which was to die for. Hubby had the walnut baked crab cake. For our entrees, he got a blackfish special, and I had a signature linguini dish with pistachio butter cream sauce (yes it was as ridiculously good as it sounds). Dessert was Tahitian vanilla creme brûlée and honestly I forget what he had because I was too busy enjoying my mocha espresso martini. I'm writing this post mortem because I died and went to heaven.

A wonderful dining experience. We had not been there in over 2 years but was welcomed warmly even though you needed a reservation on a Saturday night. The menu is chefs choice. They ask you a few questions about what you like and dislike and any allergies. They brought over 2 glasses of prosecco to cleanse our pallet and hot fresh rolls with herb butter, rosemary infused olive oil and olives. Our appetizers were sauteed scallops, and octopus salad, both perfectly prepared. It was paired with a light and crisp Italian whit wine. My wife wasn't a fan of her scallops so they graciously brought over another appetizer of fried artichokes. She was thrilled! We split the pasta which was fettuccine with a roasted pistachio cream sauce. I wish I had more bread to get the sauce off the bottom of the dish. My main course was pork osso bucco with mango chutney and pipped mashed potatoes and my wife had braised short ribs with sweet potatoes. The main courses were delicious and cooked perfectly. They let us pick our desserts. I choose fresh berries cobbler with vanilla ice cream and my wife got lemon mousse. Both were as good as they sound. My suggestion is plan to go here for a wonderful dining experience!
OMG! I have never had such a wonderful experience at a restaurant. Cassadandra really loves what she does, and she cares about giving her customers the best experience possible. Food and service was top notch.
Exceptional quality meal.
What a wonderful evening.
We allowed the hostess Cassandra to
surprise us with her choice of dining picks.
This allowed us to just enjoy the evening
and each other.
Atmosphere was romantic and relaxing.
Well worth the 1 hour drive from Nassau county. Can't wait to return...
Check the menu or be adventurous.
You won't be disappointed.
Fine dining at it's best...
Enjoy!!
My husband and I came here for the first time tonight even though we've been local for years. We've been missing so much! Cassandra is an absolute pleasure to dine with and she has an amazing knack of knowing just what we both liked. It was refreshing to enjoy all of the subtle flavors in each dish Michael Anthony cooked for us- everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you again for the wonderful company and experience, and for laughing at my husband's jokes. This will definitely be our new spot for special occasions!
This restaurant is one of the best you will ever go to. The staff is amazing and very knowledgeable about the food, where is comes from, the wines and where they come from and what they pair best with. This is a dinning experience that is amazing that you wont find anywhere else. To the gentleman Sean who complained about inappropriate behavior, i don't know where you went but it wasn't Michael Anthony's . This place is family owned and operated and they treat you as if you are a guest at their own table.. To the lady who said the portions are small, these are normal sized portions, this is not a buffet. I'm a beefy guy and when i leave here i'm definitely full. For those who want more then just a meal, want a dinning experience, this is your place to go.
The service is impeccable and they make you feel like family. Cassandra has an incredible knowledge of food and drinks, and her passion truly shows in everything she does here at this restaurant. Grandmas meatball & beet soup are a must have. The food here is divine.. you cant find anything else like it anywhere else. We always leave thinking of when we will be back for more..
This is not a restaurant but a dining experience. Cassandra is a gem, possessing a wealth of wine/beer/beverage/food pairings. The amazing combinations are deliciously detailed to you - the plate carefully placed in front of you, as your mouth waters, waiting for that first bite! Chef Michael Anthony is creating masterpieces in the kitchen, spending time to make it just right. No cutting corners here. If you're looking for a delicious meal, a relaxing experience, a chance to unwind after a long day, make a reservation. Oh, and the desserts are to die for. Honestly. Locally prepared food, great wait staff! Your mind/soul/appetite will thank you. Over and over again.
My husband and I LOVE this restaurant! We dine in NYC regularly and this little gem is on par with any outstanding restaurant we have gone to. It is a family affair and the warmth and welcome we receive whenever we dine there is wonderful. I cannot for the life of me understand the one or two bad reviews. Never have we encountered rudeness or condescending attitude from anyone. I have to believe these people should look at their behavior...sounds as if they were the rude ones.
From start to finish exceptional.
We were pleasantly surprised with the crudite, complements of the restaurant.
Please let Cassandra pair the wine with the food.
Our Appetizer was the Steak Tartar, and Entrees were Halibut and the Duck, absolutely amazing all the flavors. Our dessert was the Creme Brulee.
Excellent Dinner. Service impeccable.
Can't wait to go back.
Cassandra was an AMAZING hostess. Before I had eaten or drank anything I knew I would go back because of her. She took the time to go over the whole menu with us (I did not have my glasses and could not read it) It is obvious she LOVES what she does. She did not steer us wrong on anything, the food and wine were beyond my expectations. Highly recommend it.
