New American Restaurants near Valley Stream, NY

“I took my neighbor out to eat for her 87th birthday today 3/11/24.She enjoyed her food very much. I must make to your attention, our server, Ms Caroline M had the most kindness personally ever. I was feeling a little depressed but she didn't know. She drew a smiley face on my receipt and my takeout container. That truly made my day.Please let her know how good she made me feel.I thank her so much! ?“

“We came in by accident when we were riding a ferry from Manhattan. It's a great place. I really liked it here. Interior , dishes . The waiter served us quickly and advised us to try the fish, as I said that I love fish. Indeed, the food here is delicious, so I would like to recommend the restaurant to friends.“

“My third visit here and I continue to be impressed and amazed at this wonderful gem of a resto right here in Nassau county. Small and intimate with an amazing staff. Our lovely waitress Eimear was knowledgeable about all the food and paid very special attention to me and my niece- who was celebrating her birthday. Everything was delicious including the meticulously crafted cocktails. Can't wait to return !“

“Appetizer was a crab cake. Winner! Had the wood grilled shrimp and grits. WONDERFUL! My lady had a medium rare burger which was excellent ! I also had the Hawaiian Pineapple Cosmopolitan! WOW!Overall I was very pleased and will definitely be going back!“

“Very nice place, comfortable seating. Ordered the schnitzel which was good but different than I expected so I'd get something else next time. Definitely would go backVegetarian options: Some vegetarian choices, gluten free choicesDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: High chairs and made us comfortable with little one even though it was high end, not catered to kids“

“This place is going to be a favorite of mine in 2024. I recently celebrated my birthday at Harrison during brunch. The service was exceptionally attentive and personal. The food was fantastic with ample portions with left-overs tasing just as good as when dined. The music was classic rock with a lot of great classic americana portraits and photos of nostalgia. The staff was particularly attentive to our needs and we never had to wait. I can't reiterate how impressed I was with this restaurant. I must also add that the prices are very reasonable for what you get. The Harrison is five stars.“

“Celebrated son's Birthday...was looking for a special experience. French Onion Soup, Clams Casino, Filet Mignon, and Stuffed Pork Chop plus two scrumptious unique deserts hit the mark. I recommend Chadwick's if you are looking for what was only available in Manhattan. Delicious food, and professional staff who knows how to make the customer feel appreciated.“

“George Martin The Original is an amazing restaurant with exceptional food and service. Parking can be tough in Rockville Centre but George Martin has plenty of parking in the back. The bar is very large with plenty of seating...regulars often eat at the bar to chat with people around them and the wonderful bartenders. Reservations are recommended especially during busy hours. My husband and I started with two signature drinks...coconut Margarita and French martini. One better than the other. We shared a wedge salad which was split in the kitchen and chopped. Delicious! We both had steak, my favorite is Skirt steak, his filet mignon. Both cooked perfectly to our liking...dessert was pecan pie sundae... yummy... The service is the best around...especially the manager Suzanne who walks around making sure everyone is happy...can be a bit loud but the energy is contagious....love it there and so will you“

“Many restaurants could learn a thing or two from Small Batch. Wonderful experience. Not only was the food fresh, inventive and meticulously prepared, but the staff was just lovely. Everyone was warm, not snobby, and went above and beyond to make my sister's birthday brunch enjoyable for my family. The food focuses on spotlighting the local ingredients and isn't overly fancy. My favorites were the hot fried chicken sandwich, the deconstructed eggplant parm appetizer, and the spaghetti with tomato sauce off of the kids menu (could have used a touch of salt but I think they underseasoned on purpose because it's for kids). The only dish that was pretty underwhelming was the shrimp and grits, which was kind of bland. The decor is also so tasteful and I felt transported to a fancy farmhouse somewhere on the coast of Rhode Island or something. I'll definitely be back!“

“Tasty fresh food and a great menu for a deli. There's something for everyone here. We've never been disappointed in anything we've ordered. The staff is friendly, the store is clean the food is delicious and fresh. No one makes a better sandwich, the salads are fresh and tasty and the wraps are amazing and the breakfasts are very tasty“

“Great local bar with a very large selection of beers and delicious food cooked to order. All kinds of great bands on different nights of the week. They have fire pits in the back in a covered area with large screen televisions and exceptionally friendly staff. If you're in town in Rockaway Beach, definitely a place to stop by and have fun with friends.“

“The food was incredible; it's feels like these days the restaurants in our area aren't trying that hard and make you feel like you should just accept the garbage food they serve you but not Copperhill; every dish was delicious and beautiful. The service was also great and overall it was an awesome experience. We can't wait to come back and try the brunch menu. The restaurant and bar area is also beautiful.“

“We have been coming here since the late '80s and it is still our favorite seafood restaurant on the island (The steaks are excellent too). The staff is always very helpful and the service is consistently excellent. Highly recommended; you won't be sorry you came here.“

“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.“

“I went to the Sweet Sap today with my mom. We were having a lunch for her birthday. The restaurant’s beautiful, spacious, and clean. My mom drank a Sprite. She ate Chicken Katsu with Rice. Whereas I drank a lemonade and ate a Fried Shrimp Burger. Overall, I paid under $60 (including a $10 tip)!Definitely coming back one day.“

“My wife and I are gluten intolerant and we don’t eat meat so our diet is annoying to say the least. This place caters to people like us and we enjoyed our lunch here very much. We ate at the restaurant and were very happy with the food and the service.Vegetarian options: Beyond burger with gluten free bun was delicious.“

“Stopped in for a quick takeout order on a weeknight, the staff were very attentive and provided great service.Food:- Kai burger: SO good!! Highly recommend. Really good flavor and ratio of meat and cheese and toppings. Best part of the meal.- onion rings: these were okay, but I think it was due to the delay in getting home and eating them. The sauce was good and and breading indicated they’d be good fresh. Could benefit from having more in the order.- soup dumplings: very tasty, still warm when I got home with them. Had a lot of meat packed in.Had a little mishap with the shrimp dumplings, but the staff was proactive and made the situation right. Food was out quick. Give this place a try if you’ve got a hankering for some comfort food.“

“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!“

“Table service is lacking. The other person dining with me wanted to get a drink while waiting for her meal. I had to disturb another food server who was serving other tables as our server did not return after taking the initial order. I paid by credit card however their system seemed antiquated as I had to physically use my credit card rather than using my wallet pay (Android phone).Vegetarian options: Menu is very descriptive.Dietary restrictions: The menu is very descriptive and as such a person with dietary restrictions will know exactly what they would consume. Any serious concerns request to talk with the manager. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu and the meal preparation as well as the origination of all items being offered on the menu. Bon Appétit.Parking: Located in Roosevelt Field Mall .Free parking throughout.“

“Let me start by saying this place is a whole mood. We were fortunate enough to be serviced by nova, who was outstanding. We ordered multiple appetizers and cocktails along with our entrées. Let me say in all honesty I have to give a 10 out of 10 as everything we ordered was delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!“

“Always spot on. I ordered the Cuban Pork Naan since it's one of my favorites! Others at our table ordered from the specials. The pork chop, the steak and the halibut and everyone said it was amazing. Appetizers we ordered were also so yummy. the pierogi and the king pao combo. The only disappointment was there were only 3 shrimp and loaded with chicken. Delicious but would have preferred at least 2 more pieces of shrimp.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Hidden gem in Long Beach! Cash only. They care about what they put out so the chef comes up to your and asks you how your meal is going. The waitress drea is our favorite. Very attentive and does her job excellently. Food is ALWAYS out of this world. The menu changes so don't go off this post but everything in the review was amazing. They have the best stake tartare around. The wine is always top tier. Very small but not in a bad way. Very homey and cute.“

“This place has definitely become a fan favorite for my bf & I ! We’ve been coming in every Saturday after work for the past few weeks now & the staff has noticed us as the new Saturday night regulars lolThe food is amazing ? Their French onion soup & baked clams are a must !!We’ve been trying to order different entrees when we come in, so we can find our favorites but it’s so hard when you like one dish already ?We also highly recommend the delicious desserts !!We always enjoy sitting at the bar when we go out to eat & our bartender Austin is great ! He is a skilled bartender that can craft you a perfect cocktail with just the right amount of conversation lolWe’re always greeted warmly by all the staff, it feels like a tight group ??We’ve been meaning to try this place out for sometime now, so we’re happy that we finally did!“

“They have the best pickle chips in the area! The atmosphere and vibes are great everytime and Alphonso took great care of us.Vegetarian options: The kind of burger place where any option you'd like can be made vegan. Very accommodating menu!“

“Always love going here! The ambience is welcoming, and the service is exceptional. We went with two of our friends, and sat at a lovely table in the corner upstairs. The lighting and the atmosphere was excellent, and conducive to great conversation. The baked brie and Braz short ribs are always my faves and did not disappoint!  our waiter was excellent, and attentive. Can't wait to come back!“

“I've only discovered Press two months ago, and I've already been there multiple times. The menu is very diverse, making it tough to make a decision. As a vegetarian, that's not always the case. The food is fresh and amazing ( the fries are ?!) Service is friendly.Press 195 is my new favorite choice!“

“Went for a work function. Had drinks and appetizers. Corn beef/cabbage taco, calamari, wings, dip really good. Angel of NY and espresso martini delicious. We sat outside in the tent that was nice with the warm weather. Looking forward to going back.“

“My family and I are frequent customers here. All of the staff are super friendly and personable. They even remember us whenever we walk in. They always attend to our needs and we can be needy at times with a fussy two year old. The food is always delicious and fresh. Atmosphere is perfection for mall dining. Honestly our favorite place to eat at RF Mall. Today they surprised my husband and I with a generous goody bag that was leftover from Valentine's Day. That was very kind of them and they didn't have to. They even put some cookies in there because they remembered we have a son at home. Thank you NM Cafe. We love coming to your restaurant and will always be back!“

“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!!!“

“I was wowed by this dining experience from start to finish. First off, the restaurant is gorgeous and also has outdoor seating. The service was also stellar. Our waiter Terry was personable and helped in guiding my friend and I through the menu. I had an Aviation to start which led to a second soon after. We shared the wild mushroom flatbread as an app, which was fabulous. I had the duck breast as my entrée, which was cooked to perfection and my friend loved her Seabass. We ended with a cheese and fruit plate and toasted a fabulous night out with a glass of red to end the evening. Can't wait to come back!“

“Really great place. Found this place when looking for a late night place to eat as we were picking someone up from JFK, and we are from out of town. The website said open to 4am. We made a reservation for 11 and were told the kitchen closes at midnight. We were running late they called us and let us get there at 11:40. They're was 12 of us! Great food, and friendly even though they were closing. Would definitely come back if in the area. The entire party enjoyed. Special shoutout to Eleanor, she was amazing“

“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.“

“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).“

“One of, if not the best, restaurants in Far Rockaway. The atmosphere is good. You can enjoy fresh delicious meals in a quite place Monday to Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays a good bar and dancing place with dope ?. The servers are great and the place is always cleaned. It is a modern concept of food. You can have a good fettuccine Alfredo and fresh tacos as well as a home made churros ?“

“I have ordered online and called in orders over 20 times. The food is ALWAYS delicious. It’s does not vary from time to time, I personally love consistency. The food is ready on time, the staff is friendly. Another go to place when you don’t know what you want for dinner.“

“It’s so great to have a breakfast/lunch spot like this in Edgemere. The menu is like a fusion of American & Caribbean cuisines, which reflects the neighborhood nicely. There’s vegetarian options too. And the team does a great job at supporting the community.I do think the prices are high, considering the neighborhood and sometimes the wait can be a bit long.“

“Surprised this place has been open a few years now & I never had a clue they existed! Is it under new ownership, management? Loved the music on Sunday will definitely be back on a sunday. My friends came another day and left immediately. They said there was a band. They said there should have been a sign on the door for people 50 years and up. No thank you!“

“The onion soup had lots if onions and the cheese was good, but could have used more. It was a bit salty, but if you like that then it's OK. The wings were excellent. Meaty and moist. I asked for garlic butter on them which isn't on the menu. Really enjoyed them. Quick friendly service.“

“Very small space. The server was kind but at times did not understand what I would ask. They have an electronic cashier so you can pay with your debit or credit card like a self checkout. Their heart ❤️ shaped empanadas (cheese and guava with cheese) was delicious. Their burrito was ok. The pasta was delicious. I would go back to try their other vegetarian options. They can seat maximum 8 people since it is a more take out place and it is small. They have two high tables and two regular tables with two chairs each.“

“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 had an awesome time for my first visit to Memories Haven't tried the food yet but will definitely go back again to do so. My review is based on the band that was there, which was fabulous, the ambience, which is great & the bartenders are excellent, one bought me a drink, which these days is unusual. Will certainly be a regular patron of this establishment!“

“Tiny spot with a chill vibe. But, it's out of my way. Who cares?! It's worth the trip. Burgers are great but not enough people are talking about the fries. Amazing. Everything is just right.Dietary restrictions: My family has a severe allergic reaction to seafood. The folks here were very accommodating and everything went well.“

“It’s a decent healthy spot where you can get burritos, wraps, burgers, smoothies, and bowls. I had the salmon with stir fry vegetables and basmati rice, but it had a lot of sauce, which wasn’t mentioned on the menu and a bit spicy which is not what I usually go for - I will say it was flavorful though. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating.Kid-friendliness: Went with my kids, it’s family/kid-friendly. No separate menu for them however. But I share my meals with them, so either way it works.“

“I ate here recently with my family because we really wanted seafood. So the pluses are that it’s a large restaurant with easy parking, lots of seating and great customer service. The food was delicious but the only reason for four vs five stars is the quantity. The portions could have been a bit bigger, but overall an excellent restaurant.“

“Swing the Teapot, a longtime local favorite, has been completely renovated and expanded, and the result is a spacious restaurant spanning three rooms, with a real stage for the live music which has become a real attraction. The food is excellent and the service welcoming and attentive. The Guinness on tap is perfect, and the bar is usually full. Reservations suggested!“

“My husband, my one year old son, and I always come here! It's always something special or on a whim. We love the fact we can dine here and have an experience with little to no issues. We love having Juanito as our server! He's kind, professional, friendly and always makes the best drinks. He has really shown his personality with us and we sincerely appreciate that! To my embarrassment , my one year old knocked his food off the table and Juanito understood! As a new mom, things like that have us feeling so apologetic!! But I am appreciative that he was not annoyed and he also shared his experiences. He is always making us feel welcomed and I am so happy to write this review to praise him and his work ethic. Thanks to Nordstrom for hiring a wonderful individual such as Juanito. 5 stars for food, ambiance and of course... the amazing service— always! The staff at the Grill should be very proud and happy to know they have represented themselves so well. I love sharing this recommendation to people. Thanks again and thank you so much to Juanito! Until next time .. Food: Calamari, Salad and Salmon, Halibut Drinks: Next Flight Out and of course the Apple Sangria!“

“It’s set up beautifully and the service is fantastic. The food was just ok. The baked clams were decent but it just felt like it was missing something in the flavor and the Bronzino was a little bland. The lobster Mac and cheese was great and was a large portion. The menu is expansive and from the pics of their brunch food I definitely want to come back and try their brunch one of these weekends.“
