    Our experience at pietros could not be beat! The staff was so attentive and so so nice! The food was absolutely delicious and don’t forget to add a glass of pop-secco! We were in the igloos and had private dining complete with Carolers and all. The owners were unbelievable and so accommodating. We honestly made amazing memories that night that will last a lifetime! Thank you for bringing Christmas magic to our family that evening🎄

    We had a great meal at GMs Grillfire. The brussel sprout appetizer (we got the gorgonzola bacon ones) were to die for. My friend and I both got the “fall off the bone” 1/2 rack ribs. We opted out of their homemade bbq sauce cause we both prefer just the dry rub which was how they were prepared. Definitely going back as menu had a lot more items that looked appealing

    This is the best restaurant in Long Island and quite possibly the best diner we have ever been to. The staff are impeccably trained, gracious, helpful, and just lovely people. The food is amazing! Everything from their salads, to their sliders or chicken and waffles, everything on the menu is delicious. We come here often and love it! I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!!

    We are always so pleased when we bring friends and family to Bluebird Kitchen. The menu choices are great and the appetizers are always changing. We had the shrimp and seaweed appetizer and it was delicious and different. We had leftovers to bring home and my niece will not have to cook for two days. Always a great atmosphere and the staff as usual were great. Our favorite is the Brick chicken which we get as takeout when we do not feel like cooking
