New American Restaurants near Wantagh, NY

“Best eatery in Wantagh. Not sure when I'll eat something there and not enjoy it, but not anytime soon. Specials nights are fairly priced. The half pound burger is less expensive than a Big Mac. The 3 course meal is $46. And again, anything I've eaten was enjoyable. I feel like I say that a lot, but I am choosy. Yeah I can eat fried cheese somewhere and be happy, but the food here is next level.“

“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.“

“Cafe Testarossa is always great! Sat at the bar for a drink before dinner; friendly service and good drinks. We sat down for dinner, and our waiter Giuseppe could not have been more attentive and friendly. The food was very good as well as the service.“

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

“I went in on a Wednesday, early afternoon, and had a burger for lunch. I'm not sure what the place is like during dining hours, but the food was good and the service was on point.Parking: I had to use some app to pay for the street parking, it took a while and was something I figured out during the wait time for the meal. It was annoying, but theres not much any store on that street could really do about it.“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“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“

“The aroma of beef and bacon was so amazing walking down Main street, we had to pop in for a quick bite while running some errands. So glad we did. The staff was helpful and attentive. The cocktail menu was clever as well as festive. The menu has all the right snacks and hand helds for one or a group. The events board has something posted for every day of the week. We had the Drunk Chicken Sammy with sweet potato tots and the We're Jammin Burger with battered fries. The vodka sauce with burrata elevated the chicken to the next level. Fig jam and candied bacon on the burger was on point. I will definitely partake in snacks the next time we are there for HH.“

“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!“

“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!“

“A fun place for lunch and dinner. I was a bit hesitant bring my son who is 3yo, because you just never know if he's having a good day or bad day. But I decided to take the risk and bring him on a mini date because there's only so many visits this mommy can take to Chik-fil-A and it turned out great. He was on his good behavior and tried the mushroom risotto, which I told him was cheesy rice with my short rib and he has a cheese burger and fries. They did forget to put cheese on his burger which he was quick to point out but that was a quick fix, the staff was quick to melt a slice of cheese on his burger and brought it back out quick. My only semi-compliant was a side was small sweet potato smash was $12 which was the same cost of his burger and fries. Otherwise, everything was great, staff was attentive and we had a fun time. The food was very good, I think I would go back to try some of their other items. Thanks Rustic Root.“

“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.“

“Really great spot. Food is fresh and is farm to table. I went with the Italian wedding soup with a roast beef sandwich and it was very good, especially the soup. And the dessert, my goodness. Had an Oreo cheesecake that was o e of the best I've ever had. Highly recommend going !“

“We were there for restaurant week. I had the salad which was excellent and my husband enjoyed the snails. We each had the muscles and French fries which was delicious and banana bread pudding for dessert. An excellent meal and top notch service. Will go back again soon“

“We had such an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious the staff was so friendly and attentive. It’s now my third time there and can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“My 1st time here after hearing it was worth trying this spot. Came for brunch on Sat & was part of a group of 6. Our waitress was great! Very knowledgeable about the menu & was kind enough to take pics for us & even found 1 person from the group's missing earring back.Everyone totally enjoyed their meal. I had the brushetta avocado toast w/eggs!! Delicious ?Will definitely be returning.“

“Totally loved my experience today. Food was off the hook, and the service was amazing. Our dishes came out hot and delicious, perfectly seasoned. The owner/manager was polite and friendly. The place is spotless. Music was great, too! Definitely worth a visit!“

“Best burger and I love the Manhattan dogs“

“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.“

“Always a pleasure to dine here! Been for brunch many times and will keep going back! Love that the chef/owner briefly walks around to make sure everyone is content w/ their food etc. Our recent waitress, Janice was super fun and very sweet. Highly recommend 317 Main!“

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

“Great brunch, lunch and dinner. Entire staff couldn't do enough. Patrons are all friendly with a family atmosphere. This place is a must to try. Welcome, and ask for Starboy...“

“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).“

“The food is 5 star. Just had the grilled pork chops with mushrooms. One of the best I have ever had. The bar staff is awesome. I highly recommend“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Fun casual place, food was very good.“

“Husband & I were in the area & decided to stop in for lunch today & glad we did. I had the Lamb Gyro, came w/french fries & Beef Barley soup. Soup was delicious. Gyro had plenty of meat (lamb) w/lettuce, tomatoes & onions. All very fresh. Husband had Falafel which he said was absolutely delicious. We had a great lunch. The staff were very nice and attentive & restaurant was cheerful & clean. We will definitely be coming back to try their dinner next time. Highly recommend Opa Grille.“

“Food is always on point and fresh.. . I LOVE the Moo Shu Pork The restaurant is out dated, but always seems to have a nice local crowd and calming atmosphere. Full bar in the restaurant, drinks are very reasonable and the staff is super friendly.Parking: plenty of parking lot parking and also on street“
