I love Restoration! I live in PA with family on LI. 90% of my trips back end up eating here one night.
There is a large variety of unique cocktails. The appetizers are delicious, a favorite is the whipped cheese board. There is a generous selection of Vegan/Vegetarian options for my friend, and there are gluten free options as well if that is needed. The main course menu is plentiful as well, and the portions are large so I always end up getting to take half back to PA with me!
Honestly I’m not sure what the desserts are like (I’ve never seen the dessert menu), but we normally end the night with a cookie/cakey espresso martini. Drink prices are on par for Long Island cocktails ($14-$17) and don’t skimp on the liquor.
Servers and bartenders are always friendly to us. Restoration is great for a girls night out. My only wish is that they took reservations. They can get really busy on the weekends, and sometimes we have quite a long wait. We’ve learned to try and get there by 5:30 instead, so we can also get a spot at the bar while we wait, but I’m all for a later dinner!
