The restaurant is at its peak, combining country charms with city style...And you can be sure that everyone, either dining at a table or playing on stage, is hitting high notes"-Peter M. Gianotti, Newsday. In his August 9th review of the newly renovated Grasso's, Celebrating 28 years in Cold Spring Harbor, Gail Grasso (Owner) and Tony Canales (Exec. Chef/Partner) gear up to give you yet another year of phenomenal food, jazz and just an overall feeling of “WOW”.

Sandbar NEVER disappoints and our lunch there today was no exception! Great food, beautiful ambience (decorated so special for the holidays), and our server was amazing! I had my teenager and college age kids with me and they LOVED it, too!

This was another phenomenal experience at Rare. Multiple staff members checked in to see if we needed anything throughout our dining experience (including the general manager, Cliff). We sat right across from the bar in a large booth. The cocktails, appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts we had were all high quality. They even gave us complimentary limoncello after dessert! We will certainly be back soon. This restaurant has valet parking, price fixed menus available and also offers private event space.

Such an amazing experience! It was as if we were in the comfort of our own home, entertaining. The difference was, we didn’t have to do any of the work. We enjoyed every minute of it and highly recommend.
