Best Casual Restaurants in Merrick

The Pantry always provides excellent food served hot and fast. The service is always friendly and extremely efficient. The holiday decor was festive and beautiful. I had made a reservation and was running 20 minutes late, so I called ahead and they said no problem. When we arrived there were many people waiting, but when we checked in they had saved our table and sat us immediately. I was pleased and so impressed by their efficiency. Love this place. Have been many times before and will continue to go for all of the reasons above and more. The menu always has my favorites plus some new additions to try which keeps me coming back. Best cup of coffee anywhere. The Bellini’s , mimosas, and Bloody Mary”s are spot on. They never rush you off the table even when there are people waiting. It is such a pleasant dining experience.

We sat in the back room and it was extremely pleasant. Noise level not a problem. Our waitress was attentive and charming and the food is delicious. We love George Martin and are there quite often. Always have a good experience and love the ambiance.

Food terrific. Service outstanding. All 6 of us enjoyed our meals.

We have dined here several times and not only because the food is outstanding but because the staff is absolutely phenomenal. The chef… yes I said the chef checks in on you at table side to make sure everything has been prepared to your liking. We really love Bar Americano and look forward to dining there again and again.

The surcharge for using a debit card is ridiculous and wayyyyy excessive.
