Best Gastro Pubs in Troy Hills

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.

Great food, excellent service, authentic Irish fare

1:30 lunch on a Thursday. Restaurant looked beautiful, busy but not sound level was very good—easy to hear my companion’s conversation. Hostess and waitress were friendly and accommodating. I had the espresso martini, my friend the Lillie’s Cup. Both cocktails were beautifully prepared and delicious. My friend had the fresh burrata salad from the bar menu, again beautifully presented, I had the Caprese sandwich, no French fries. The sandwich is not very big, fine for me, but heartier eaters should get the fries or a substitute. I think fries aren’t the best side for this sandwich actually, but most of their lunch sandwiches come with fries only. Quite an enjoyable experience and we’ll definitely be back (be sure to make reservations way in advance.)

Good food. We had French dip and French onion burger. The drinks were STRONG. If that’s what you like, you will love it. Wait staff exchanged my drink without charging. Great ambiance!

We went at an off hour (2 PM) so got stuck between shifts. We lost our waiter halfway through the service. On the plus side we were able to speak with the chef. All of the food was fresh and inventive and locally sourced when possible (Shinnecock Bay scallops). This is a gastropub so expect elevated food in casual but cozy surroundings.
