Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Merrick

My husband and I dine out often, but this was our first time at an Anthony Scotto restaurant, as we live in Manhattan and don't make it to Long Island too often. From start to finish, our experience at Opus was exceptional. We began with drinks at the bar, where bartender Ania crafted the perfect Vesper—a rare feat! After enjoying our cocktails, we were promptly seated and warmly greeted by Angie and Ashley, who made us feel right at home. Angie was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations, from appetizers to entrees and we ended with the porterhouse steak which was absolutely phenomenal. We were also impressed by the level of service, with three different managers checking in on us throughout the evening, which is rare these days. We left eager to write this review and will definitely return. I highly recommend Opus to any fellow foodies! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Food was outstanding. All four of us truly enjoyed our meals. From scallops, half chicken, sea bass and the most delicious Loin of lamb. Exceeded our expectations. Waiter was respectful and good. He did forget a drink from our group for quite some time but he did such a great job letting us talk. Oh the apps came and we started eating them. But within 3 minutes the main course came. But. Great experience and will be back.

Wonderful service; we had crispy Brussel sprouts and Fuji Apples and delicata squash with prosciutto as appetizers. They were prepared and presented beautifully. Excellent burgers, and chicken paillard with little gem Caesar was wonderful as well.

Our experience was amazing, a small but cozy place with a great variety of Mediterranean cuisine starting with Greek spreads with their warm bread, grilled octopus, their special fried burrata was excellent, then one of the most popular dishes was grilled branzino , shrimp Santorini and lamb chops, I highly recommended this restaurant , services are on point.

Restaurant is in the hotel we are staying at. Very convenient! Food was Tasty. Service was excellent .
