Best Casual Restaurants in Garden City

This was the first time we’d been to Alessandro’s since it was redone. Not for lack of interest; just a tough reservation to get! But it sure was worth the effort. The pace looks great, the service was as good as always and the food was better than I remembered. Best artichoke salad and chicken scarparella! Already can’t wait to go back. Bonus, Alessandro is the lost wonderful host. Always makes it a point to come say hi.

The King Bar was delightful. Food prepared perfectly. In particular,shrimp tempura with blistered peppers were tasty and a good size portion for two or three to share. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly and as good as any steak house in the city. Wait staff was very attentive .

Had a great anniversary dinner celebration at Copperhill. It's a relatively small menu which allows them to focus on creating excellent dishes. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that vegetables and salads are numerous, prepared with creativity and full of flavor. I'm not a vegetarian but I always enjoy the vegetarian entrees here such as the mushroom polenta and roasted butternut squash. My son's short ribs with polenta was also excellent. The room is homey and congenial, service is attentive and well informed. I always like Copperhill for a special occasion.

Would definitely return to this restaurant. The restaurants ambience was very nice and cozy, staff was all pleasant and attentive, and the food was excellent.

The food was delicious, the ambience was on point and the service was impeccable. My first time here, but will definitely not be my last.
