New American Restaurants near Sea Cliff, NY

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place for gatherings, food and service is great I bring my singles events here quite often highly recommend“

“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.“

“The wine line has easily become my absolute favorite bar on LI. I come here every weekend for great food and AMAZING drinks. The atmosphere is very fun on weekend nights and they have an excellent selection of wine. Trivia Tuesday is also a blast!!Must try: tuna tostada and the casa luna“

“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.“

“They have been around for a long time and continuously excellent for food and service. The noise remains due to acoustics so I turned my hearing aid lower and you get used to it The prices are fair considering Bidenomics, and they show their class by not charging for the use of Credit Cards. Got to get back here soon.“

“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.“

“Thank you for going above and beyond for us today. There was a glitch with my reservation bur you made accommodations and it was a beautiful Mothers Day. I come here often and will continue because you and your staff are absolutely amazing. Thank you again for making this day special.“

“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!“

“This place has a great vibe as well as a great selection of food hot and cold. I went for a beef empanada and a turkey pepper jack cheese and honey mustard sandwich. The empanada was very flavorful and doesn’t need sauce. The sandwich had a great balance the bread was soft and the meat was savory the cheese was a perfect balance and the honey mustard is one of the best I have had in a long time.I highly recommend this spot.“

“The most incredible dining experience ever! Highly recommend. You may be thinking well what “dining experience “ does she have to make this statement .... I have dined at some of the most highly recognized restaurants in both NYC and throughout the world. Michelin rated as well. The food was beyond my expectations and I savored every bite. Staff was like family .. they could not have been more attentive! I even forgot to grab my take home and they texted me to come back If you can grab a seat at this unique personal dining experience please do ! Can't wait to go back !“

“Great spot, great food, excellent service!“

“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!“

“Food was excellent, loved the Rigatoni with a nice Red vino. The potatoes and fries we had were great. Service was super professional and quick. Really pleasant ambience and setting. We don't go too often because it's $$$ but we willingly certainly be back soon!“

“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!“

“Great place for lazy quiet lunches... natural light filled atrium...good for all seasons..new modern decor...Servers a bit novice and look confused at times probably new o. The job..but will get better... food is very good and right portions..(not large greasy ).. coffee could get better .“

“Delightful example of where “the locals” eat, and highly recommend to tourists like me who really enjoy getting acquainted with communities that aren’t “touristy”. Marvelous service from Sonia and really really great food at great prices!“

“best Fresh Italian food you can't get at a restaurant! my favors: meatballs, chicken marsalla, sauce and peppers, soups to die for so good like home made! the pasta are so fresh that it takes 3-4 minutes to cook. thankvyou Mercurio for my amazing lunch and dinner! there were nothing left on the plate for pictures, next time!“

“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! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?“

“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.“

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

“Had lunch here with my mother and aunt on a Thursday afternoon. I did not expect to have probably the best Octopus dish I've ever had. Really spectacular. Perfectly balanced flavor and texture, and the cook on the Octopus itself was spot on. I would return just based on that alone. We had French onion soup which was very solid. Excellent fried chicken thigh sandwich. Good chicken quesadilla, and a really good short rib bolognese. Didn't love the pasta choice with that which was cavatelli. My personal opinion/preference would be a pappardelle or tagliatelle to make the short rib more of the star. The cavatelli was a little too dense and fought against the short rib. I've been coming to this place for several years now, and it's nice to have had one of the better meals I've had there this far into their run. Kudos to the kitchen and the front of the house.“

“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.“

“I can’t say enough good things about Modern on the Rails for my daughter’s bridal shower brunch. I had great feedback on the venue and the delicious food. The staff was attentive and so helpful, my guest’s drinks as well as the buffet selections were constantly filled. The atmosphere is unique and so pretty with exposed brick and beautiful chandeliers. I. borrowed their cart to do a bouquet bar that turned out to be a hit with everyone. The shower was everything the bride to be had hoped for. Thank you to Lori, John, Julianna and Kevin for making this an stress-free, perfect day for us.“

“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!“

“I'm in Westchester (suburban NYC) and we have a few bareburger locations, each a little different from the others. All good vibes, always good food. Staff is always willing to work with you to get your the burger (or other) that you want. Mt Kisco location does trivia nights, wish they all did.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 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.“
