Best Lunch Restaurants in New Hyde Park

When we want seafood Limani is our go-to restaurant on the north shore. One of the few places you can get stone crabs by the piece (you pick it, they charge by weight) and a wide selection of fish. Excellent sides available and they are very good about exchanging one side for another if the main course is listed with a side (for example, I switched to lemon potatoes instead of Horta with my fish). The prix fixe dinner available at various times (all night Sunday and Monday) is a good deal but desserts are very limited. Service is usually excellent but this last time staff had to be reminded more than once to bring melted butter for the crab and to bring out the side order of Greek fries after everything else was served. Limani is expensive by LI standards but the quality of the food keeps us coming back.

I dined here for the first time last Mon, 12/30/24 with my sister & her husband plus 2 priests we were honoring. We were all very satisfied w/ the food & service. Mary Grace was an excellent server. Very pleasant & attentive w/o being obnoxious. The only negative was the sun shining directly on the eyes of one of our guests despite the curtains that were drawn down. It is a come-back place! Today, 1/3, I came back with another priest friend. We were warmly welcomed by the Asst. Manager, Dianne, who was just as friendly & cheerful as Mary Grace. I had an energetic & interesting brief chat with her before we sat. Our server, Louis, was also pleasant & efficient. I also commend the rest of the wait staff who brought our orders to the table. The food was excellent, made even more delicious by the reasonably-priced lunch special w/ complimentary appetizer & dessert, as well as the efficient service. Thank you, Park Place. Keep up the good work! My one wish is for the resto to have an eye-catching huge name at EYE LEVEL and another big sign perhaps by the parking lot fence near Miller St. Driving alone, not tall, & focused on the road last time, I could not see the sign way above the awning, much less the one just above the awning. Neither were the small signs on the front door very clear to a solo driver in the area for the 1st time. I knew I was in the place because of my GPS but not sure since I could not see the signs. I wasted time going around the block 2x to be sure I would park in the right place.

Excellent food, staff, and ambiance! Our family had a wonderful time.

Always good and love the fact that they are so easy about any special requests off the menu.
