Restaurants near Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

This was my first time dining here and I truly enjoyed every aspect of our dining experience. Justin was our waiter and was very attentive to our needs. He made excellent recommendations to start. For appetizers we started with baked clams, calamari, and the meatball. The baked clams were absolutely delicious. The peach blossom drink was a fan favorite at our table. The mulfadine pasta was a hit as well as the salmon, chicken parm, cacio e pepe, and the zucchini fritto! Justin was on top of our needs for refills and cocktails! The basil ice cream paired with the olive oil cake was a delicacy that was enjoyed throughout our table! A few tiramisu’s and cappuchinos and we were good to go! What a wonderful dining experience! We will be back!

This was my first time to Grasso's and I absolutely loved it! There was a pianist and a vocalist, and it was a really magical evening watching the performance. The restaurant was dimly lit with beautiful Christmas decor and a really special ambience. There was a waitperson specifically for drinks who made sure everything came out perfect and that you were never without a drink. Our waiter took our order and timed the service perfectly. The kitchen was flexible with some minor changes. Every item I tasted was delicious! there were several other items that I hoped to try next time. I will be going back often! 

2024 Christmas Eve dinner, did not disappoint. Been here for holiday dinners before, Harbor Mist continues to deliver a great experience. Pear salad and salad caprese - very fresh greens, tomatoes, both appetizers very tasty and enough for five. Scallops with a caper-raisin sauce, sounds weird but fantastic, Pork chops that melted in your mouth served with vegatable and sliced potatoes. Salmon done to perfection. Savory skirt steak full of flavor with delish mashed potatoes. Great food! Friendly hostess, we were seated exactly at our dinner reservation time. Taken care of by Alana and Silvia at the table, they were friendly, engaging, outgoing, helpful and attentive. Great service! Reasonably priced wine, no extra charges for bread, etc. Variety of selections off the holiday menu. Not inexpensive but good portions for price from apps and entrees. Good value! Highly recommended for a holiday dinner, Harbor Mist is one of a select few establishments that we have found who do holidays meals right. Do go.

The Sandbar has an excellent selection of drinks, appetizers and meal choices. The service and food is excellent and love the ambience as well. This is not the first time dining here with our family and always enjoy!

Excellent from the moment we arrived, were greeted & promptly seated to the divine meal!! We raved to the manager about the BEST homemade salsa and even got some to take home!! Even the seasonal Pumpkin Flan was yummy! Great staff! The joint was jumping with holiday and family parties and diners!!
