Restaurants near North Village Green

First time dining. We liked the ambiance outside and inside immediately. Staff was courteous and friendly. Seating was spacious and comfortable and music was not loud but upbeat. There were specials for Valentine's Day weekend. My wife much to my pleasant surprise chose the duck tacos as her appetizer which was great because then I got to sample one as well and we both agreed that they were a keeper. Sushi was up next which was fresh with just enough flavor and "zing". We love sushi. My wife judges each establishment by her main course of branzino and half-way through announced that we would indeed be returning. I had a veal chop which came "old school" Italian flatter than a pancake, bigger than the plate, and invisible under a sea of greens. I never knew veal could be that tender. Before I knew it, my plate was empty, but not before my wife could not stop sampling the salad topping. Desert was a pleasant surprise of apple beignets. We love anything that reminds us of dining in New Orleans. With a bottle of French wine, all was savory and satisfying. I would put this Eisenhower Park oasis on your dining list. Kudos to Niko and Zach, and Thank You!

From start to finish, our experience at Philia Restaurant in East Meadow was absolutely unforgettable! My friends and I (two couples) decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day here, and we were blown away by the incredible food, atmosphere, and top-notch service. The owners, Luis & Diego, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the evening special. We kicked off our meal by sharing an incredible variety of appetizers: Calamari, Grilled Octopus, Salad, Oysters, and Huge Shrimp Cocktails. Each dish was better than the last—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dinner, we shared the Lamb Chops, Steak, Sole, and Seafood Pasta, and it was all absolutely delicious. The Lamb Chops were perfectly cooked and tender, and the Seafood Pasta had a rich, flavorful sauce that was to die for. To finish the night off, we had the Cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal—smooth, creamy, and a perfect balance of sweetness. I can’t recommend Philia Restaurant enough! The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. We will definitely be back for another amazing dining experience. Luis & Diego truly make this place shine!

My wife went here for Valentines Day I had 8 0z Filet Mignon cooked perfect Sautéed Spinach fabulous My wife had Pork Chops at least 2 inches thick again to perfection for Dessert Very delicious Raspberry Bomb suggested by our really Pleasant waitress Amanda Excellent experience

Great service! The is a great place for a date. Dimly lit, not too loud and a great ambiance. It is on the smaller side so unfortunately the tables are a little close together which I did not love but not a huge deal. Sushi is outstanding. I’d recommend the MC roll!

I brought my long time friend here for a Galentine's dinner and it was perfect! We had a chance to really chat & catch up in a private but very fun space. The servers were lovely and more than happy to accomodate our "in no rush" timeline (on a Tuesday if course). It was the perfect spot for a cute dinner night out! Food was great, Italian is NOT her first choice but she loved it!
