Went to this place because i heard the food was great. I ordered a chicken sandwich with tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and balsamic. Got home and had an uneasy stomach. Woke up that night and threw the entire meal back up. Proceeded to throw up the entire following day. Called my friend who i went to lunch with and he told me that he was feeling uneasy all day and also threw up. He got a crab sandwich. Ive worked in the dining industry so i can understand having a bad cut of food, but two in one table sitting? something is wrong. Definitely wont recommend.
This is a hidden gem right off Shore Drive servicing Oakdale and the adjoining areas of Suffolk County. Located by the water with great views. Valet parking is available. Good food, nice staff, and public restrooms. Clean facilities. Great for brunch and parties. We will definitely be going back.
Such a romantic meal. We made reservations and were able to sit right by the windows. The service and food was on point. Especially liked how the manager/owner? Was very hands on and made frequent rounds. We never get a date night sans toddlers so we took our time enjoying appetizer, dinner, and dessert. It was all well timed and unrushed. I dont know why we waited so long to come after they changed names but we will be back again. Its def pricey but I never mind when you get what you pay for.
This is another hidden gem. The restaurant is beautiful. The views are amazing and the food is fabulous. Along with top notch service makes this one of my favourites spot for a romantic dinner. With outdoor seating and live music on summer weekends you will absolutely adore this beautiful locale.
My wife and I love going here for our date nights. The food and atmosphere is great. They have never disappointed and if you have any issues the managers and staff are very attentive. Highly recommend people making reservations and going. You won't regret it.
Amazing food and views. Worth every penny
Delicious food, great atmosphere, very professional and friendly people working!
Great food, great atmosphere, awesome staff. If you want a more intimate experience, avoid the weekends.
Came here for dinner, which started off with a nice, elegant feel. Honestly the menu sounds delicious, lobster pasta and root beer short ribs. All the time you spend waiting for your food does make you question if the wait is worth it. When you get your small portion, it has been confirmed that the waiting time and over inflated prices are NOT worth it. However you are paying for a beautiful 'View.'
After eating a beautiful dinner The Bar scene, a small area is patrolled by a private 'security company.' Within 15 minutes a member of my party was kicked out of the establishment. He hadn't touched anyone in the bar or raised his voice at all. The "security" staff, which wore 'PSA' shirts along with most of the young staff seemed to enjoy the encounter of yelling and screaming at all of my party of 6 people. This was similar to an experience at Maxwells owned by the same family. This was over a dress code issue, which did not make sense because the same security staff checked out ID when we walked in and we were all wearing the same exact clothing.

Small quaint and simple. However the quality of the fish, the service, and deserves 4 stars. Live 2 blocks away and can't wait to get back there. Yummy
Beautiful view. I wanted to have a late lunch at the bar
Excellent service
Burger was above average.
Craft beer excellent
I'll never go back and I'll tell you why.
Scene: Wednesday at 1pm; 4 people in the dining room (FOUR); speakers pumping whiny, nasal, annoying, repetitive CW music.
I asked if it could be changed. The server came back and said the manager said they were "having trouble with their pandora". Can he turn it down? Turn it off? Nope. Nothing to be done.
Gimme a break. I've been lied to by experts but that was just pathetic.
Food was delicious. Service could have been better
Love th is place because have th e best chef food service and atmosphere! !!
Beautiful restaurant, the service is okay, nice bar area with a DJ, and the food could've been better. My chicken parm was dry and the sauce tasted like it came out of a can.
If you're looking for a nice casual place by the water to have dinner and drinks The View is an okay choice.
The View hosted our wedding on August 20th, 2016 and they did a phenomenal job!!! Jimmy, the owner, was so friendly and attentive with our planning leading up to the wedding day. Courtney was our maitre d' and she was beyond excellent! To top it all off the food was amazing! Love this place!
I am sorry to read what others have written😔
I just had the absolute BEST anniversary dinner! My husband is a restaurant snob , and he hears about this place years ago and wanted to take me somewhere on the water. Best choices years! Every single mouthful was a food explosion and I can't wait to go back. 🍀🍜🍤🍲🍨
