Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Islip

Excellent service always enjoy the view, broiled fisherman platter is always great!

Absolutely everything we ordered was perfect. And it was hard to make a decision so we’ll have to to come back. There were so many options that I loved. My friend and I ordered dirty martinis, mine had blue cheese, stuffed olives, and hers did not because she doesn’t like that. They were perfect. Then we both ordered a Manhattan with Rye, which was also lovely, although the restaurant should probably invest in some better cherries… You should have Amarena cherries on hand with craft cocktails.  For appetizers, we got the risotto balls, the meatballs, and the artichokes oreganata… Everything was fantastic and we took some home. For dinner I ordered the Andrew’s chicken, my husband ordered the spicy chicken with the cherry peppers, and our friends ordered the shrimp over spinach. We were way too full for dessert but next time I’m getting the espresso martini flight for dessert! Our waiter was not around enough, but he was super busy from what I could tell— the place was jammin.’ However, there is plenty of other busing staff and food runners that were always on hand to help with anything we needed. We will definitely be back. 

This is an amazing dining experience from beginning to end. We were taken to our table without delay. The waiter was helpful and gracious. The ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was delicious and styled to perfection. A great meal. A great night. I highly recommend The Lake House.

I hosted a party of 11 for my wife's birthday. Food was absolutely amazing with no equal. 11 people 1100$ with 250$ in tip . And I can say this anything for my wife. And the food was worth every penny. Great job tellers see you very soon.

Ever since the very first time that I went to Whalers I keep going back. T food is delicious and the staff are all fabulous! It has become my favorite restaurant.
