Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Mineola

Found my new favorite place tonight!! From the moment I walked in I knew I would love dinner tonight. The vibe is so cozy with warm wood tones and subtle lighting making you feel like you are dining at a dear friend’s place in New England. Kathy, our superb waitress was great in describing the dishes and helping us choose. We dived into the wine flight which helped create our own pairing menu. Started with Caesar salad and then slow roasted carrots on top of ricotta - truly an outstanding dish. The squid ink pasta was delicious and the scallop special melted in my mouth. We didn’t have room for dessert and will definitely be back soon for another meal which will include dessert. Excited to have such an excellent offering close to home.

The moment I entered I was greeted by my name and with a friendly smile by the host. As I walked in further mixologist Tom knew my cocktail and yet again made me an exquisite ‘sour’ with a fantastic egg white foam to boast. He went even further and made a special cocktail for my friend who told him her taste preference and immediately he conjured up a delectable tasting cocktail. I could go on but as I write I think I need one of that cocktail. 😆😀

Had drinks, apps and pizza. Looking forward to return and try out some main dishes.

Always great food and friendly service. Best wings!
