Recently went to sit at the bar and the drinks were phenomenal and the food hit the spot just right! Still love to come here and grab a quick bite and relax with the girls. Always quick to get food and a relaxing space to go.

Apologies to the bartenders (especially Tyler) at Restoration Kitchen and Cocktails for this review as I will tell everyone how great your Espresso Martini Flight are!!! Let's jump into it. The flight has a peppermint, pistachio, s'more's, and chocolate cherry espresso martinis. Holy crap. Delicious. Beautifully presented and amazingly crafted. I'm sure the rest of the drinks are good too but these martinis were perfect for a snowy, Saturday morning. We had a the wings, fries (amazing), and whipped cheese board. So tasty. (Did I mention how great the espresso martini flight was?) Ambiance. Rusty feel. Wood tables and wood beams on the ceiling. Cozy. Fun. Delicious.

We are frequent flyers at Restoration! We live local and it is by far our favorite place in town. Nicole is THE BEST server we have ever had by a landslide. She is so sweet, communicative, quick with refills, and honest with her opinion of the drinks/menu. We love seeing her when we stop in. Tonight we tried the blackened scallop gnocchi special for dinner and it blew us away. Also the Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink - AMAZING! Be patient, they work with a lot of tables in a small place. But it's always worth the wait!

After a fun night of bar hopping downtown, we stumbled upon Restoration Kitchen. The buffalo cauliflower was exactly what we needed to cap off the evening - perfectly crispy and satisfying. Can't wait to come back and try more of their late-night menu!

This was our first visit to restoration kitchen. We went on a Sunday afternoon. Kind of close to when brunch ended and had to wait a bit for our food. Our waiter explained that and we told him it was OK so long as we could have some cocktails. The cocktails menu is diverse and offers what I believe would be a little something for everybody. I chose the old-fashioned menu and my wife chose the seasonal menu. Both had at least two of our chosen drinks and will probably get again one day. The food took a bit to get out but was very very tasty. All in all we had a great time and look forward to returning there soon. Just a little later after the brunch is cleared out.

This place is AMAZING. First of all, as I was waiting for my friend, a waiter came over and brought me menus and said "I'm not on shift yet but wanted to give you these to look at while you wait!" I mean, how sweet? Our official waiter, Mike, was a doll. I love that they give back to the community here and they source much of their food locally. That's how you do it, folks. Love that about Restoration. And their menu is fun, creative and with vegan/vegetarian and GF options for all palettes. Plus, if you ask, they have kids menus as well. When I walked through to get to the lovely back patio on a warm summer night I noticed the high chairs. I love when a cool restaurant is also family friendly. If we are eating well, the kids should too. The back patio was really nice too. Umbrellas at each table to cover the sun, lights strung up and small intimate tables. Though the LIRR is across the street, you wouldn't really know it. Everything about this place was A+. Although I dined here with a good friend, next time I'm bringing the family. Parking is easy, there is a muni lot attached to the restaurant. And on a completely unrelated note, the soap in the bathroom was pumpkin pie scented (ha, I love a good smelling soap!) Check out Restoration Kitchen and help them to continue with their awesome mission and even yummier food.

Sunday evening, where to go? Thinking simple, available for more. Something and a beer, something and a glass of wine? Easy choice, Restoration.... Sat at the bar, welcomed by Colleen. Great menu choices and they had my favorite beer, Blood Orange from GSB. Went simple, keeping the theme, the Breslau Burger, medium well. So, went simple and kept it that way, killer burger, just perfect! From Colleen to the check and leaving, my choice couldn't have ended my weekend any better.

Came here on a Thursday evening for dinner. They don't do reservations, but for a party of two we had no issue being sat right away. Love the rustic look of this place, it feels like you're going Upstate for a cool weekend by the lake. Their outdoor seating options are my personal favorite, especially being able to sit along the covered patio. They also occasionally have live music outside that makes a great pairing for any meal or cocktail outing. Staff were friendly and quick to check in on us for anything that we may have needed, even during what seemed like a decently busy night behind the bar. Food was pretty good, I got their namesake burger, which was a bit overcooked, but the flavors were good, especially if you like a little bit of heat on your burger. We also had the chicken bacon avocado ranch quesadilla, which was the superior of the two, and the perfect execution of a classic. Cocktails were fun and interesting, I got the jam it up old fashioned, a sort of PBJ take on an old fashioned. Very tasty, but a bit sweet, but a great one and done in my opinion and a fun way to riff on a classic cocktail. My date got the peach sangria which was super refreshing and fruity for a summer day. Now the real thing that gets this place their fifth star for me is their social causes they stand for. They partner with local charities to give back to the community and really make the house that they have set themselves up in, feel like a home for everyone that comes in. They have a small lot for parking attached, but also plenty of municipal parking (paid and free) nearby, as well as street parking too. Would be glad to help support this place for as long as they keep their doors open. Good food, great drinks, better community. You can't beat that, and because of that, I'll be back soon.

We were introduced to Restoration Kitchen when visiting a friend in Long Island. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla ($17) and Restoration Burger ($17). The Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla is made with fried or grilled chicken, tossed in their own buffalo sauce, melted mozzarella cheese drizzled with their own house ranch dressing. Served with a side of sour cream. Delicious! The Restoration burger had fried jalapenos, homemade spicy pickles, sriracha mayo and habanero jack cheese, on top of a juicy patty. We chose sweet potato tots as a side and it was unique to us because we have never had this before. Tasted light and lovely. Our waiter was very friendly, and we love how the restaurant donates all their extra earnings to a chosen charity. The only con is that the food took a while to come (~25min) despite us being one of their first customers.

I've come here so many times and love everything they make. I love how rustic it is as well. They just redid some of it and I love how it came out. They redid the bathroom, as shown in the pictures, and the bar, which is behind my husband. They also added four more tables. Which one table goes from an 8 seater to two four seaters. Which I find great, incasd there comes two parties of four. The food is amazing. My husband and I got the fried risotto balls, mozzarella sticks for apps, and I got the restoration wrap and my husband got the Mac melt for dinner. The restoration wrap is Mac and cheese, mozzarella sticks, chicken, and this spicy honey sauce. The Mac melt is Mac and cheese as a grilled cheese. With the Mac melt you can add pulled pork or go the bbq route. Both were DELICIOUS. For drinks I got the lavender lemonade mocktail and my husband got an old fashioned.
