We threw a party for a bunch of friends and we wanted the best caterer. We hired Nader Gebrin, formerly of Bravo Nader. Nader refers to service as exquisite food from extraordinaire talent. I have to agree that this is an apt description because he delivered on an extra special evening and dinner. When you […]
We are happy to announce that Taglio of Mineola is being awarded the honor of having the best pizza in Nassau County, NY. In determining the best pizza, we assessed a wide range a characteristics including, the overall taste, sauce flavor, the cheese factor, crust crispiness, balance of cheese, tomato sauce and dough, grease factor, […]
We decided we wanted a low key Italian dinner so we we headed to Matteo’s in Roslyn. The interior is understated and the best part is that they have a glass enclosed room that can be set up a peaceful room separate from the rest of the dining room. Our waiter was very attentive and […]
I was reading a blog by Jeff Somers regarding Restaurants Top Red Flags and I thought that he covered a bunch of good topics. I had a few additional suggestions and combined they with the blog references. If you see any of these items, it may be a good idea to look for another restaurant. […]

From the first moment we stepped in, we had the most amazing experience. My overall take […]
We went to the Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar in Glen Cove. The views make this restaurant. I should stop there!! I had low expectations on the food since these restaurants tend to be all about the view and the bar scene. We had spicy feta and humus dips and seared tuna. The Cove did […]
I was on Facebook and I saw this Page where Restaurant Workers complain about things that bother them. One rant extremely annoyed me and it had to do with customers asking what is good here? Why does this annoy me? First off, I ask this question all the time so they are referring to me. […]
We headed over to Pietros in Roslyn (in the old Jolly Fisherman space) and had a lovely meal. They did not change the layout of the restaurant. It appeared that they changed the lighting, wallpaper and the carpet and they were good to go. We ordered a Caesar salad to start and then we had […]
I would like to start a school in which they teach waiters and other support staff how to serve the customers. There is a real need for people to learn the appropriate serving steps. The reason I am looking into this is because at the last two restaurants that I went to the waiters started […]
