We decided to try T Bar in Roslyn. It definitely lived up to its reputation as a cool hip restaurant with good to great food. They revamped the old Brass Swan space (which was Roslyn Social and MP Taverna before that). The space seems jinxed for restaurants that come in with a splash but peter […]
We headed over to Copperhill in Williston Park. It is a quirky American bistro that prides itself on being located in a 125 year old farmhouse. The only thing that I do not get is why is it important to highlight that the restaurant is in a farmhouse. The interior does not give off the […]
Rant of the Day — Lough Laughers As I get older, there is one trait in my fellow diners that bothers me to no end. That is the Loud Laugher!! Everyone in the restaurant is glad you’re having a fun time, but no one wants to hear your loud, cackling laugh all night long. First […]
Recently, I was at a restaurant where the menu was dirty with some remnants of food on it. I don’t know how food could get on a menu since when I order my meal, the waiter takes the menu away from me. After ordering, I have no use for a menu. So this is a […]

After doing some research, I found out that there are several sites that permit people to sell reservations to selected restaurants. Almost forming a secondary market for restaurant reservations. These sites include Tock, Appointment Trader and Dorsia I therefore apologize to Four Spring in Oyster Bay for crapping all over their comment that reservations are […]
We headed over to the Union in Eisenhower Park. Our expectations were low since so many restaurants have tried to succeed in this location but failed. The entrance was bright and dining room was casual but elegant (which is hard to believe). Our experience was positive with only a couple of miscues. We recommend this […]
There was an article in Newsday describing the growth in reservation fees for restaurants. Basically, the article explains that more and more restaurants are requiring a reservation fees in order to book a table which is refundable if you show up or cancel 3 or more days beforehand. Restaurants feel the need to impose these […]
