    I absolutely love it here! I always have a great experience. I come on the weekends to enjoy dinner listening to piano. Let's just say that bison is awesome! This place has the ambience and charm isn't really around anymore. The vibe is so relaxed and you can just check out of your thoughts for the evening and enjoy the moment where you are. Service is great! The bartender is excellent.

    We had a group of 6 for my Dad’s Birthday. I am from out of state and most restaurants from when I grew up here in the 80’s are gone so I took a shot with Spiro’s. Turns out I found a gem! We each had different entrees and appetizers and all were excellent. Service was great with them checking on us offen. Would definitely return when I come back home to visit LI.
