Located in Bayshore, NY this restaurant is fine dining at it's best. They do not offer parking but this was not an issue. Upon arriving on Main Street in Bayshore, it is very easy to pass this place which is deceiving from the looks of it.

 There is a 12  person bar located within the restaurant and after walking in we were greeted very warmly by our hostess. She informed us that they were already preparing our table. 

We were seated in a very small dining area that really has a limited seating capacity. Seated at a table for 2 we were sitting an arms distance from a four top on each side of us so it was not difficult to hear everyone's conversation. 

Our Server introduced himself and of course asked if we would like the usual bottled or tap water.

He handed us the wine list and proceeded to offer us the evenings specials. 

We ordered a nice bottle of Pinot Noir.

   At $11.00 a glass or $36 for the bottle it was a no brainer. What was very nice is that Manuel, our server was always there to be sure the glass was full.

We each ordered something to start the dinner off and agreed to share. 

Manuel served us our appetizers and as you can see he carefully poured the lobster Bisque into the wonderfully presented bowl. 

 Presentation was amazing as was the service but the soup was just OK. 

My Wife had a really good salad that was presented well and who would expect less from this wonderful dining experience. 

 We shared both dishes and had no complaints about either.

They also offered us a taste of a chilled tomato gazpacho with lump crab.

 Just a taste was really a tease because this was amazing. It would have been a welcome addition and if you have the opportunity to come to this restaurant, be sure to order this summer delight.

 

Dinner entrees soon followed and as the wine was being consumed, we really enjoyed the service and the culinary delight being presented to us.

The seared Sea Scallops were served on a puree of baby peas and roasted corn. The scallops were cooked to perfection and the corn and baby pea puree was sweet as sugar and complimented this dish

 

The pan seared tile fish served in a tomato broth and surrounded by delicious little neck clams was mouth watering. What was really needed was some crusty bread for the dippage. The fish was cooked to perfection and most flavorful.           

The amazing dessert that followed was a wonderful chocolate souffle accompanied by the simple yet necessary vanilla gelato. Served warm and oozing with creamy delight. It reminded me of a molten lava cake we experienced on a cruise ship. Very very rich. Screw the diet!

 

 

Located at 240 West Main Street in Bayshore, this is a place for special occasions. The prices are not inexpensive but the service and food are well worth the experience.
