We had a great lunch at Dark Horse! Portions were large, service was excellent and the food was delicious! The duck wrap was huge and delicious. The trio grilled cheese, onion soup and salad was more than enough for lunch. Wonderful spot in the middle of Riverhead!

What we ate was very good. What we wanted was on the menu but not available, filet mignon. It being new years eve and not having a main dish seems a bit ill prepared on restaurants part. With that being said, food was good, we ended up with burgers for 3 of 4 dinners.

Food is always great and gluten free (about 90% of the menu). If it wasn't 45 minutes from our house we would definitely come more often.
