$$$$Price: Expensive • American • Bay Shore
Went to Roadtrip in Bay Shore tonight. In case you haven't heard of this place the theme is a Road Trip across the US. They have regional dishes from all over the US on a seasonal menu and each week they have a full specials menu highlighting a different state. This week was South Dakota (appropriate for the weather we have been having).
I can't say enough good things about how we were treated , the food, presentation and portions.
We had a 7:15 reservation and they were running behind. The management was so concerned about running behind that they immediately offered us a small bite sample while we waited and offered us cocktails on the house! When a spot for the 4 of us opened up at the bar while we waited the manager brought us free appetizers! (Brussels sprouts and the fried goat cheese- both were really good and I don't even like goat cheese) We absolutely didn't mind waiting for our table!
When we did sit and order food - it was so hard to choose- so many great options. We all stuck to the specials menu and ordered a smoked chicken dish (didn't take a pic), a wonderful squash soup, gnocchi with smoked Gouda, and a lamb skewer appetizer that came with an delicious chutney (which my daughter paired with a side salad as her entree). All were fantastic and great portions. We loved the unique flavors of each dish that made them all memorable. Every dish that walked past us looked amazing too. Drinks were well thought out and great as well. Great Bourbon selection which made my husband happy. Can't wait to see what's next when we go back and continue our national Roadtrip!!!
Just one note- the place is a little small for the amount of people on a busy Friday night- I highly recommend a reservation and space around the bar is tight when crowded.
