New American Restaurants near Great Neck, NY

“We stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. I ordered the kaizilla quadrupole patty burger combo to which the waiter said "oh wow" so I'm guessing maybe no one orders it? My wife got a cucumber salad and soup dumplings. I thought the burger was excellent and would order it again and just needed more fries on the side. The cucumber salad was good and fresh with a nice spice. The soup dumplings were also good. The service was good as well.“

“Attended my company conference at the Inn and the hospitality was wonderful. The valet was especially cordial and helpful. The banquet servers were warm and the food was very good.“

“Amazing drinks and good food. We come here every weekend for Joe, Max and Ricardo behind the bar. They bring such great energy and vibes to our Saturday/Sunday afternoons. Definitely check them out behind the bar they will always make you feel at home.“

“Beautiful restaurant with a variety of options, including those for the calorie conscious. My family tried the trout and salmon - both were cooked well and flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the spinach and strawberry salad. There was an issue with our order so it was delayed, but when we spoke to the manager, he took care of things quickly. We appreciated that he took responsibility and his courteous manner and hospitality. The decor is very nice as well. A good date spot. Will visit again.“

“After an hiatus, we returned to this gem of a restaurant with friends. The Kitchen prepares and plates artistry. As it's name indicates, the menu changes with the seasons and adds market available 'specials'. Service was friendly, professional and helpful. The wine list was carefully crafted. It was not a phone book with prices that match the digits of a phone number. There are a reasonable variety good wines to complement the food that does not cost the price of your first house. Season offers value, coupled with carefully prepared, delicious food, artfully presented and professionally served.“

“The food is good, even slightly creative. It's a pretty diverse menu, so there's something for everyone. I have two issues, one is a constant: they make a bad drink, I know things are expensive right now, but make me a good non metered drink, it's not like you're not charging me a lot for it. The other was hopefully a one off, the waiter didn't speak English well and my friend asked him a question which he said yes to and when he was served it was completely different, when my friend was like "what's up" the guy mumbled and politely shrugged. That being said I do like this place.“

“I went with good friends for my birthday. I really liked the coziness of the restaurant. The food was plentiful and very good. The waitstaff were very attentive.“

“Food and service was exceptionally good as always. I had requested a table in a particular section of the restaurant and they were able to accommodate. The waitress was very attentive and pleasant, as were the rest of the staff, altogether making it an overall successful experience“

“Good food & service, very clean, and parking.“

“good service but overpriced“

“Always love dining at Copperhill. Brunch is an excellent time to go for great food at a reasonable price. Love the atmosphere, food & service. We had the Chicken Milanese, Salmon Board, French Toast & Pancakes. All were great. Have also been previously for dinner, which is also excellent.“

“Frankie and I love it here. They’re wonderful and make us feel special every time. ❤️ highly recommend“

“Beautiful, small, cozy wine bar located on Queens Blvd.The bartender/ server was friendly and made some good recommendations. The Chicken Tagine was so tender and flavorful, the pasta with meatballs was just spot on to perfection. Everything about this place is amazing.. Would definitely return here.“

“Came here with a friend from Brooklyn. It wasn't too busy. Got seated right away. We ordered eggs Benedict and chicken & waffles, and sweet potato fries. They have $7 Mimosas with 3-4 flavors. So the mimosas were pretty good. Tried 3 different flavors: passion fruit, lychee, and pineapple. We both really liked the lychee one. Although it was a touch sweeter than I would have liked. My friend liked her eggs Benedict. Basically licked the plate. We chowed down on the fries. Although neither of us cared much for the sauce that came with it. So we had them bring us ketchup. It's hard to find a place that makes a good chicken & waffles. Their waffle was good, balanced with flavor good texture. The chicken was good too. Breaded nicely, tasty and moist inside. Wish they gave maple syrup with it though or just honey. They gave me some over processed syrup like log cabin but it was fine Service was great too. Our server was on it. She always appeared at the right time. Just when our drinks were getting low or if we had a question. Food also came out at a nice pace. Looking forward to our next visit.“

“Food and service were very good! Lovely atmosphere.“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“Had a Mother's day prix fixe dinner here - the staff was so accommodating with storing an ice cream cake I had for the party and provided free cake cutting service. Also the service was very kind and stellar. Food was DELICIOUS. 5 stars!“

“Excellent food and best service“

“Delicious food that is very well prepared and seasoned, drinks are incredible whether you want non-alcoholic, alcoholic, or an iced matcha horchata (made with oat milk and fabulous)! My favorite dishes are the ancient grains bowl and the lasagna bolognese (made with chicken fennel sausage) and tastes fresh, light, and delicious! I love this place!“

“Always enjoy. Staff and food top notch.“

“We love NM Cafe, it is a wonderful experience and beautiful inside. The ambiance is great, perfect assortment of food options and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Tony and Ray were out servers the last few times and were the BEST!!! The broth and bread they give in the beginning is always a highlight“

“I LOVE The Black Whale! It is filled with charm, beauty and interesting antiques everywhere. The staff is wonderful and the food is SUPERB! It is definitely one my favorite place to dine in City Island and NYC at large!“

“It's Saturday and decided to bring my wife for a quick date night. The place looks cozy and the food selection looks pretty unique. I had the Wagyu burger while she had the Beef rib with bone marrow. Both food came out good and we will definitely come back.“

“Great family owned business and it was built by Tap King. The tap lines for the beers are always clean and the beers and food are great.“

“I can't say enough about this new restaurant/bar location. The food is just as great as the other locations (Bayside & Rockville Center), which works for us because it's a lot closer ?!Service was spot on, friendly and attentive and the food is to die for! Of course we started with a knish, my favorite from my Queens days and an assortment of apps! If you love chicken, go with The Southern Dunk! You're welcome! Long list of beers and cocktails to choose from! Can't wait to meet their with friends, great location for all!“

“Gatsby's Landing thank you for an amazing start to our year! Your staff and service was impeccable. The ambiance made for a relaxing experience. And hats off to the chef…. The food was delish. Five stars across the board ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll be back!“

“Love this beautiful restaurant that gives sexy upscale, Amazon vibes. The greenery decor and black wall were stunning. It’s a large location with plenty of perfect seating available. It was raining when we visited so we sat inside for brunch from 1pm until 4pm. Our waitress was very pleasant friendly and tentative. Brunch is great with timed mimosas or sangrias included in their $34.99 deal. The portions I will say are small for sharing so order your own food.“

“Was here recently for a chamber event and I thought the food and service was great!! I especially enjoyed the short rib that I ordered and would definitely come back for it. We also had a chance to meet the new owners and they were friendly and accommodating to our large group.“

“I enjoyed the pancakes. I went to this location 3x's during my visit and enjoyed peaches & cream, banana & walnuts, & Irish stew apples pancakes. I suggest getting the cream if the pancakes don't come with it. The teapots are gorgeous. The teas delicious & I had the decaf tea, ginseng tea, & hibcous...all are great I'm sure. Get the home fries, truly yummy.“

“Raxx Pool Hall in West Hempstead, NY was so much fun and exactly what I needed on a Friday night!The staff was super friendly and the DJ was dope. The music created a whole vibe for the whole night. I really didn't expect for their food to be so good being that its a pool hall. The wings were good but the onion rings were the best onion rings I've had anywhere.I'm definitely going back to play pool because I had a good time but trust me you want to try their wings and onion rings! They have a lot of drink selections as well so just check the place out!“

“Great vibe and food,and great live music!“

“As soon as you enter this unlike any other restaurant, you instantly get that “I’m part of this family” feel!! Celebrated my daughter’s bday. She and her friends were honored with the chef’s table, while my friends and I sat and ate in the lounge area. The staff was welcoming and so accommodating and the food was amazing. Highly suggest the Kung Pao calamari and succulant grilled artichokes to start…AMAZING! My daughter’s fav the Wagu meatballs. For my main dish, the Mojo jumbo shrimp cooked to perfection. The citrus quinoa gave it just the right combination of flav. On the side, I highly suggest the krispy Brussels- so delectable. Everything about our experience was priceless. Will definitely be back again. Can’t wait to try their brunch! Thanks Bloom!!!“

“As usual, Wild Goose has become out "go to" local restaurant when we want "fun" food. Pigs in blankets, fried onion rings, moules, fried chicken were on our order and all were tasty and satisfying. Sides with fried chicken were especially appreciate by my wife. Tried the special dessert, blueberry cake and it was ok. The staff is always great starting with Emma who knows where we like to sit, what wine my wife orders, and keeps on top of everything. We'll miss her when she's on maternity leave. But other staffers do a terrific job as well.“

“I've been here three or four times for dinner and I've enjoyed it every time. It's a great date night spot. I would say the prices reflect the quality of the food and service. I would recommend the oxtail croquettes, duck two ways, roast chicken, and halibut.“

“I just wanna say if you don’t have SANDY as your waiter you are missing in out! Her energy is so good she is so nice she is one of the best waiters I have ever had all the food was delicious Sandy I wish you the best your amazing love to eat here burgers and onion rings are “

“I used a Groupon for my meal and the only issue I had it was NOT written in the fine print you can not use the Groupon for BRUNCH. I brought it to the hostess attention and she pulled out an in-house menu that says no Groupon. What good is that gonna do if you don't know ahead of time? IDK Needless to say, I had to wait an hour until the BRUNCH time was over. Other thank that! The food and service was excellent.“

“I recently visited this place when my brother and I could not get in afew days before. It is a good place with a few options, even though the menu is slightly limited. However, this more of a place to drink than eat. Only problem with this place is that it is only open 5 hours (5pm to 10pm) everyday sonforget about getting brunch or lunch. As a result of that prices are up a little. Overall though, it is a good experience. It is worth the visit.“

“Anytime I go to NYC I must stop at this Restaurant, I usually get whitening fish with rice & peas & cabbage soooo delicious. Workers are very friendly. Restaurant is kept clean and plays music , you can rock while waiting for your meal…….“

“We had a lovely evening. The fried chicken was delish. The wait staff are very attentive. I will def go back���“

“Delicious food! Very beautiful place. Indoor and outdoor seating. I recommend this place. Adding this place to my list of frequent places to go!“

“Good serviceFood is decent but something taste like it was missing. French toast was s bit dry, but I loved all the fruit on top.Love that they have an exotic juice (guava) ...delicioso.There are a few corner shops nearby and the train station.Parking: Limited parking so depending on the time you go, it can be a challenge; however, sit tight because a few people move in and out of spots at a steady rate (dep. on time).“

“It was my first time at this diner. I was babysitting for my sister, who lives in Mt Vernon. After I dropped the children at school, I wanted to eat breakfast and have some alone time. The place was clean. The staff was welcoming, and the service was quick. The diner gave me the authentic Greek diner. The menu is a large textbook. While eating there, I got the sense that they have a lot of regular. They were calling customers by name.“

“The cosmetics department has the most helpful and knowledgeable staff. Excellent range of products too.“

“The food selection is amazing. Ingredients are supurb. I am so glad they are now open 3 days. Service is super attentive. Candidly, they achieve the perfect balance between friendly and professional. And friendlyManagement (professor Luna) is always paying attention to everything. The best BYOB for free that I know. The take home desert bar cannot be missed. I bought 20 raspberry crumble bars, cut them in half and froze them. So I enjoyed the dining lab experience for weeks! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?“

“Went for open mic night, so it got more crowded as the evening went on. The waitress assigned to our table took a long time to bring us a dessert menu, and after we asked another server, he told us they only had one option for dessert - couldn't our waitress have told us that, instead of telling us that she would get a dessert menu - that didn't even exist!? Then there was an even longer span of time getting our check to us. Perhaps these servers are tasked with more than they can handle, but when people dine out, there is an expectation of good, courteous, prompt service. I do not blame the wait staff, as they are just young people trying to earn some extra cash. The fault is with leadership being short sighted with the insufficient staff numbers, especially on a busy night. Come out - talk to the patrons, explain the wait, offer a discount if needed... Anything to prevent a negative review! Food was great - no issues there, but the taste did not erase the feeling about the poor service. I would come back, but please do better.“

“My birthday celebration was a magical night that I will always remember. I met with Raj and Rekha to explain my vision of what I wanted my birthday to look like and to say to least I’m very particular. They listened and executed my vision by paying attention to the smallest details. My guests still rave about the food and cocktails. The staff were friendly and helpful and service was impeccable. They exceeded my expectations and I would definitely use this venue again for another special occasion.“

“Best burger and I love the Manhattan dogs“

“I was greeted well by the server at the register and she helped me pick a sandwich, chips and drink meal. Prompt, kind, friendly and attentive to whatever questions I had, my experience throughout was good. There was no room for complaints. The sandwich was good not out of this world but I didn't expect to be blown away either. Sometimes you want a simple sandwich, chips and a drink to wash it all down and I think anyone looking for something simple and fresh will enjoy coming here.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of seats both inside and out, you will not regret bringing your kids along to enjoy a meal here. The decorations inside are also very thematic to the atmosphere and food.“

“Obtained a Groupon after reading the reviews. What great comfort food to have on this rainy day! Freshly made & awesome seasoning. Recommending ordering beforehand. I will be back very soon!“

“Service in food we’re both delicious. Nice outdoor set up.“
