Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Melville

The food & service is always impeccable! Expensive but you get what you pay for. We love Blackstone’s.

WOW! From the moment we walked in, to the conclusion of our brunch, 5 stars all around! First class hospitality displayed by the hostess and the managers; John and Gianni. Our servers: Chris and Taylor were very professional, not too intrusive throughout our meal and reassured we had all we needed ! Can’t wait to come back again and bring more guests next time ! Also the DJ is a great addition to anyone looking for a fun / engaging vibe !

I brought my niece here. First time for both of us. Superb! I had the Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail, with the smoke adding a nice layer of flavor to the drink. The layering of flavors was the theme at Rustic Root. We shared the crispy Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Artichokes. Again, excellent layering of flavors with just the right amount of spice to both. For our main dishes I had the Scallops with Snap Pea Risotto and my nice ordered the Roasted Local Cauliflower with Farro. Again superb on both, especially my niece's dish. Many vegetarian meals in restaurants have no real depth to the flavors in the dish but here it did. My only suggestion would be to possibly offer two vegetarian dishes on the menu rather than just one. An excellent evening from beginning to end. Will be adding Rustic Root to my list of favorites and will definitely be back.

The foods were awesome. We all had different pastas and Sushi rolls. The service was great and the Cirellas specialty cocktails were awesome..

We had an amazing experience. Our servers Gaby and Stephanie were exceptional and very professional. Their knowledge of the food and drinks were impeccable. They made our Christmas Eve dining experience very memorable and enjoyable.
