Neighbourhood gem

We are a restaurant from Chef Albert DiMeglio known from Barano and Rubirosa, that simply wants to be your neighborhood kitchen. A place where everybody knows your name and serves you a thoughtful menu of exactly what you want, and let’s be honest, what you need. We love to do it in a buttoned up, polished way, with lets say… our hair down!

We want to be there for your first dates, family gatherings, business dinners, great parties from 20 to 100, or just that craft cocktail you needed at the end of your day.

Happy to be recognized as Newsday's Feed Me top 100 and Long Island Herald's choice awards finalist.

My second time there for brunch and the food was excellent both times. Their offerings are interesting and unique - makes it worth traveling there because it’s not just your typical basic dishes. Will definitely be back!

Service was great, but the food and drinks were disappointing. We had the chips and dip for our appetizer and the chips were great, but the dip was clumpy onions and like a paste texture. My husband was unimpressed with the scallop special that came with burnt broccolini. The shrimp scampi was the best out of the dishes we had. The lemonade is carbonated which was surprising and should be mentioned when you are ordering. Our reservation was taken on time and the staff was nice.

Had an early brunch with a friend. The food was excellent and the staff were warm & attentive. FYI - it was starting to fill up as we were leaving around 1pm. I would definitely come here again.

Had Galentine’s dinner at Bluebird and it was lovely! Food and drinks were fabulous (it’s impossible not to giggle when ordering drinks because of the names). Service was great. It’s beautiful in there!

The restaurant is very bright and not necessarily great for a date night experience. Service was attentive but with various servers which made the experience feel transactional. The food was good - menu was a bit limited but we liked what we ordered. I had a fantastic drink and appreciated the creative drink names
