Cute place, very casual, good service. It’s a little pricy for food that’s served in aluminum foil take out containers with plastic utensils but the food was good and the atmosphere was nice. I would go back again. They only take cash. No credit/debit cards. Forget parking by the restaurant. They have a very tiny lot at the end of a residential block so just park a block away and walk.
Normally I don’t leave reviews for restaurants, but I felt this place was that bad. The food was expensive and not good at all. The pizza looked microwaved and was stuck to the pan. The fish and chips tasted bad and was mostly breading anyway. The table we were seated at had chairs that seemed inches off the floor and the table was too high. Service was also not good at all. I’m not sure if all of this was due to them recently reopening, but it was absolutely not worth the money at all.
First of all let me say that. This is an absolute gem because it has excellent food and the backyard Beach area is absolutely wonderful for children of all ages. The service generally is excellent however this past weekend we went here and our waitress was horrible. She was very nice and very kind but never checked up on our table and literally we had to go get up off the table to order our food. I have never seen service so poor. That being said I will still go back because I know that was out of character for this wonderful restaurant and Hidden Gem. In the past when we had to wait for a table the owner or manager was kind enough to give us a round of drinks to say thank you for waiting. Between a lobster rolls and the fish tacos I Im impressed and the paella was out of this world. My suggestion is to definitely come here and enjoy the fun times and beautiful weather however make sure the waitress doesnt drop the ball
This place is really cool, a hidden gem that a lot of people probably know about. I like the ambiance, the food was decent and my pina colada was delicious. My only complaint is that the service was really really slow and things did not come out at the same time. They took one of our meals off the bill so that was nice.
Nice local spot. Kid friendly. Small dining area.. could be bigger or at least have outside sitting area or more stand up tables. Food quality was presentable but not as good as it looked. Awkwardly enough you can see into the kitchen by the bathrooms. I would recommend full swing doors instead of current saloon doors. Would go back for the atmosphere
Cool place but super crowded on Saturday night. Waited over an hour and fifteen minutes to sit inside. Ended up buying pizza for the kids while we waited, which they got to eat standing up while we were in the play area. Once seated took almost an hour to get food, which was ok but not great. Music way too loud to hear yourself talk. Not family friendly.
This place is really nice, i need to come here a little earlier next time as me and my wife came here right before closing.the filet minion kabobs were fantastic and the calamari was very good also.outside was very nice, place was packed so woe could not be seated outside but next time i come i definitely make that a priority.over all it was a great experience with great food and ambiance.would recommend! :)
Found this place last year and really enjoyed the vibe and food. Good energy but not pretentious or obnoxious.This year outdoor seating is non-existent. The bar was packed and loud at 5pm on a Thursday, so much so I couldnt enjoy a conversation. Drinks are about $2-3 more expensive than Im used to. Fish taco app was 2 small tacos of dripping liquid and odd tasting slaw. $21 for a lobster roll of 75% bun is outrageous. Nice chunks of lobster but should be stuffed for the price.Not sure well be back anytime soon. Menu is uninspiring and overpriced and they need to increase the outdoor seating to really capture the beautiful setting.
This place has a great view- although on a canal, several seem to converge and it gives the illusion that you are on more open water. It would earn an extra star if it had their own reasonably sized parking lot...there doesnt seem to be enough for the employees, let alone guests. It would earn another star if one of the servers who brings out the food wasnt incredibly rude- that really detracted from an otherwise nice meal.
This is a great place to eat, the food is on point as well as the bar drinks. The restaurant is clean. This was a very enjoyable place to eat. I had to give it 5/5 stars. As people may complain about the parking you can park on a street near by and take a little walk. But this place is definitely worth it! I highly recommend it!
We decided to try this place after hearing good things about it from friends. When we arrived we wanted to sit outside so we had to wait for a table which was no big deal.We took a seat at the bar. My wife ordered a piña colada and I ordered a beer on tap. The colada was very good but the beer was very flat.Our table was ready fairly quickly. We were seated but had to wait at least 20 minutes before a waitress came to our table. I could understand if they were busy but they weren’t. We ordered and That was the last time we saw our waitress until our meal was finished.Our food came to the table fairly quickly but the waitress forgot an item that we ordered. We didn’t say anything because we didn’t want it after that. It was not on the bill at the end. Our waitress never came back to ask if we wanted anything to drink. We had to ask another server for napkins.The food was average. Nothing great. The service was terrible. I usually give the server the benefit of the doubt if the place is busy but it wasn’t. I will not be coming back nor will I recommend this place to anyone.
Had hope for this place but to start- there is no parking. Disinterested teenage or 20 something hostess, tons of flies and beware of the rock hard nacho chips. Worst part- if you want a cabana there are only 3. You can wait, but if you cant wait and take a seat indoors (like we had to with an 11 month old baby) and a cabana opens up -too bad! I asked. No moving. So we sat inside while a cabana was available. Normally id push a but our food came. Entrees were just OK. Figured I would pass along my experience and just not go back. The bartender met us with a smile when we walked in, she was probably the best part. If you have kids, and someone elses kids take the games, there is nothing for your kid to do but eat sand lol. This was all during their slow time on a Wednesday afternoon. Wish it were a different experience.
Did not go at all in 2019 because although I enjoyed it the times i was there in the past, it seemed like allot of LI establishments they are content with local neighborhood patrons and not concerned with new customers. I did like the cocktails and light menu but the parking lot is very limited and location is kind of secluded. Just my observation, everyone is different so try it you might like it. Only open for the summer.
Service sucked. Waitress took our order and never came back to table. Bus girl served our food. Asked another waitress for drinks and she responded Whos your server? and walked away. Asked to speak to manager and there were none. All young people with no direction or sense of hospitality or customer service.
Arrived by boat. Fun setting. Bartenders highly variable, some excellent (men); others clueless, but attractive women. Waited hour and a half for a table, despite empty tables everywhere, finally took food to our boat. Food ok, not much more. Place had exceptional accommodations for kids, all sorts of games and clean sand to play in. Lights under the water that you could watch fish and crabs in: Kids loved it. Was a fun place, and was there with close friends so would have had fun even if we ran aground. The bar was ok , inattentive bartenders/waitstaff that didnt care too much about customers; still had fun, would still recommend a visit, but NOT during busy hours.
We recently discovered this gem of a place. Good food, good drinks and great beach vibe. This place feels like a mini vacation away from home. Backyard has activities for kids and free ice cream for them. Parents can mingle over drinks while the kids play. Parking is limited to the street. Accesible by boat. We will be back!
Service literally so awful it ruined the experience. I understand when a place is busy, but my server NICOLETTI was not even running food or serving the drinks and still had a problem getting the check out to us in less than a half hour. It makes no sense and really devalued what I thought was a good restaurant.
Place has no parking and is not as large as advertised, really inconvenient for the locals. imagine its summer and every frat boy and girl park on your block every day and leave at 1 or 2 in the am loud drunk and leave open containers all over the street. Bad spot for business.
We went to The Clubhouse Thursday evening to try them out annnd had a great time, We had ordered the Hula juice and I had the Hangover burger and my Hubby had the fish tacos because he couldnt decide between seafood paella or the fish tacos, since we were sitting at the bar, he asked the bartender Carlie, and she suggested to him to go with the fish tacos and jokingly told him, then that means we have to come back again to try the seafood paella 😁, thennn Chris I believe he may have been the manager or another bartender said the seafood paella is his goto, and side bar, Chris makes a good drink, being that both myself and hubby are bartenders, so we can appreciate a good drink🍹, but thennn one of the patrons next to us had the same dilemma as far as his foid choice and went with the seafoid paella after hearing our dilemna , but everyone enjoyed their food, the atmosphere was fun and cozy annnd laid back, the food was great, the staff was great and attentive, love the outside part there is sand, the big connect four game, and a few other games, the place makes you feel like you went away, we will be BACK to have the Seafood Paella soon👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🍽🍹

2022-06-06Okay SO, everyone I know talks about this place and it’s five mins from our house but we had heard such mixed reviews we always ended up somewhere else. So glad we came today! Totally a neighborhood spot where you can either walk to, pull your boat up and dock, or drive to but super tight parking. Awesome atmosphere, literally one big chill summer party. Cash only! But they had multiple signs stating it and an atm available as well and the hostess gives the heads up too. We heard the service was bleh, I totally disagree. Our hostess/ server ( maybe Rachel was her name??) was extremely sweet, fast paced and gave great service. For the food we ordered the elote, highly recommend, sooo good, Buffalo wings, salad and fish n chips. Everything was delicious, we can’t wait to go back. Best part, SUPER KID FRIENDLY. Chose a table right by the sandbox for our two year old to mingle with others babies and play while we enjoyed food and drinks. We will be back asap!

2022-06-20Food was pretty good. Portions are laughably small though. Had a $19 fried calamari app that wasnt even enough for one person. Also if youre gonna charge these kinds of prices the least you can do is offer real plates and silverware. A $30 lobster roll on a paper plate? Seriously? A little ridiculous. No parking and the service is not very good. A shame bc the place has a nice vibe to it. Their prices are basically what you pay for a restaurant on fire island or on some vacation resort town. The problem is this is neither! Its bellmore! In the middle of a neighborhood!

2022-06-27Poor service overall. Nice but slow. Drinks were costly and probably zero alcohol in them. Tasted watered down. A table ordered a drink near our table but left before drink arrived. It took too long so that party left. I told the waitress Id have the drink so it didnt go to waste. Knowing those in the industry, that should not have gone to our bill, but it had. I didnt mind but as mentioned, drinks were weak. Food was ok though. Cash only place which I dont love. ATM onsite but $3 fee to get cash.

2022-06-07Absolutely love this place no parking so you should take Uber or a boat lol cuz it literally is on a dock very cool the food is delicious the drinks are amazing and it is just a pretty setting on the water I do believe theres volleyball cornhole and things to do for the kids it is small so theres not always plenty of tables.. but it is a really nice place to have lunch in the summer.. OR celebrate for a drink on whole summer nights.. recommended highly we had a blast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

2022-03-08The atmosphere is great, brought my kids 8 and 13, kid friendly from noon till about six, than the band start to set up. Food was ok, typical fast food dishes fish and chips that kind of stuff. It is pretty pricey , thats the price you pay to be on the water. Differently would go back for a date night with the wife.

2022-06-11Food was good and the wait staff was accommodating and polite. There were a lot of families with small children there, it was a mixed crowd and somewhat noisy with occasional child running into you

2019-05-22Local favorite spot that only bellmore-merrick neighborhood know about. This place has a limited menu but everything is well made. Same owner as Amerrikana Tapas. Nestled on a residential street with little amount of parking but well worth the walk. GREAT PLACE FOR FAMILYS AND KIDS! Good food and drinks for parents and fun atmosphere with beach toys for kids. I cant recommend this place enough!!
