Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Garden City

When we want seafood Limani is our go-to restaurant on the north shore. One of the few places you can get stone crabs by the piece (you pick it, they charge by weight) and a wide selection of fish. Excellent sides available and they are very good about exchanging one side for another if the main course is listed with a side (for example, I switched to lemon potatoes instead of Horta with my fish). The prix fixe dinner available at various times (all night Sunday and Monday) is a good deal but desserts are very limited. Service is usually excellent but this last time staff had to be reminded more than once to bring melted butter for the crab and to bring out the side order of Greek fries after everything else was served. Limani is expensive by LI standards but the quality of the food keeps us coming back.

Mario, staff, food, ambiance! We wouldn’t travel this far if it wasn’t a top notch experience, always consistent!

We loved this restaurant. This was a new find for us - one town over from where we live. Being Italian it's hard to find Italian food that I like since I am used to fresh ingredients at home. The foundation sauce in this Italian Restaurant is delicious. The variations of the vodka and spicy sauces are tasty, as well. The personal pizza was big enough for two if you have an app, but we ordered it to try and have some leftovers. We loved the igloo, but honestly the inside of the restaurant was just as cute and festive. Our server, Irene, was super helpful and quick but the food was still spaced enough where we could enjoy it. The garlic knots were huge and tasted great. I am still shocked that I had never gone to this establishment before, but so glad we found it.

Excellent food, staff, and ambiance! Our family had a wonderful time.

Always good and love the fact that they are so easy about any special requests off the menu.
