"Son had Swordfish Steak, was very dry. I had Chicken Souvlaki which was bland and a little dry and served on a hot plate, which also had a side salad on it. So aside from it not being a greek salad, it was also hot. Who wants to eat a hot salad? Who would serve a house salad with an italian tasting dressing with Chicken Souvlaki? Other son had the Lamb Shank which he described as MEH Waited a little to long for our waitress to attend to us, and yes we had a reservation and no it was not busy. At the end of the meal which was after 8pm we sat unattended for a good 15 minutes with empty water glasses and no drinks and had to get servers attention."

"my man and I visited this diner on Friday morning and we both had our masks up and decided to sit on the back at one of the stands. there were these dame who worked the casser and every time she would pass our table, she would cough loudly. first I thought wow, she should wear a mask if she doesn't feel good, but after the third time, my man and I observed that she did it only every time she went past the table. Finally, the previous time (yes it was a forward) she did the fake cough thing and admired her coworkers); that strengthened what we suspected was doing it before. I thought that would not be nice to treat customers who wear their masks in an NJ restaurant. the bad news is, we will never return this dune thanks to it; the good news is raymond is just a few steps away and is much more inviting with better manage and customer service."

"Unfortunately, our group of arrived at this restaurant on New Year's Eve for our pm confirmed reservation made thru OpenTable, and we were turned away since the restaurant was closed for a private party. We then had to scramble to find an alternate restaurant on New Year's Eve. We had children and a grandmother with us. Fortunately, another area restaurant accommodated us so our evening was saved. We WILL NOT be returning to this restaurant. Both the restaurant and Open Table had my contact info but neither contacted me to indicate that our reservation could not be honored. Poor customer experience!"

"Food: I got the lamb burger and Greek fries. The hamburger meat was bland, but the halloumi cheese was quite a bit too salty. It felt unbalanced and not something that I would order again. The fries were relatively cold (and I always eat my fries first. My order came out last in the group, so I would have expected that they were waiting for something to cook in order for mine to come out, but from eating it, that didn 't seem to be the case. However, I 've only tried Greek food in the last year, and only a handful of times. So, perhaps it is just my inexperienced pallet. Either way, it isn 't something that I would purchase again. Service: To give the restaurant credit, I came with a larger group, and our group did not call ahead to let them know we were coming, which is on us. However, it took at least 45 minutes for someone to come to our table to even take our orders, and then another hour for the food to come out. Yes, it was lunchtime, but there were only perhaps 10-15 individuals in the restaurant when we arrived, and half of those were already eating. The server checked in with us only one time once we got the food and asked if everything was OK. One member of the group expressed disappointment that their dish with chicken was extremely overcooked and dry, and the server responded with ok and walked away. There was no attempt at an apology or an attempt to be understanding. I know that not all restaurants would replace the food, but it would have been a more pleasant experience if the response had been more empathetic. I understand having to wait as a large group, but the excessive wait and the lack of serviceable mindset it what earned them a 2 star review here for my visit. Atmosphere: The building seems to be very aptly decorated. There are beautiful vines and a lovely balcony for outdoor dining. The art and the layout gave me a very distinct Greek feel. Overall: I would be willing to try again and see if the service was better without a large group, and perhaps a different food item would be more enjoyable for me. However, it 's going to be a while before I even want to try again."

"I recently dined at this establishment and was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the food, which was quite enjoyable. The service was also commendable—attentive and friendly. The seating was comfortable, allowing for a relaxed atmosphere, and the environment was clean and well-maintained. However, there were some notable drawbacks. The prices for the appetizers were on par with the entrees, which felt a bit off. Desserts were similarly overpriced. Additionally, while the flatware and china suggested a more upscale dining experience, the presentation of the food and the ordering process resembled that of fast food, which was somewhat confusing. Fast food typically comes at a lower price point, and a sit-down restaurant should offer a more polished presentation and ambiance. Overall, I had a good experience, but considering the prices, I have enjoyed much better dining experiences elsewhere."

"Just ordered take out on whim. Do yourself a favor and simply order the Eggplant dip. It was the most magical experience I've had in a long time. The rest of my order could have been terrible and still would give this place 5 stars just because of this dip. Best thing of all, the rest of our meal was fantastic. The Falafel on pita was so fresh with all of the veggies thrown in. The grape leaves and Greek salad was also a highlight. I can't wait to order from here again. I might have to take advantage and eat in since the restaurant is BYOB. Great job Cedar Tree, you got yourself another committed customer."

"The Bosphorus is a cozy place with excellent food and a caring staff. The turkish food is outstanding and us presented beautifully. Although small it does tend to get noisy but that does not detract from the overall experience. I am a vegetarian and the dish I have had was exceptional. There were great salads and the Houlumi cheese appetizer was excellent. The meat and fish entrées were also appealing. The prices were fair for food of this quality. I reccomend this place wholeheartedly. Vegetarian options: Excellent mixed vegetable dish. Great salads."

"We were there to celebrate Birthday. I have been eyeing on this place for while. Ambiance and decor is okay. Nothing crazy but the food was delicious. This place can get busy so reservation is necessary or at least good. We ordered appetizers- falafel was delicious and babaganush was okay. Dinner was served and food was delicious. I ordered shrimp risotto and was delish. Everyone at our party enjoyed the food. Will definitely come again. Only thing that I have seen people ordered iced coffee type things. We weren’t able to order because they closed the machine. This place is huge on brunch so need to go for Brunch"

"Great outside dining! I have a recurring lunch meeting here because we want to sit outside (covid), the parklets are fairly protected from rain and wind, and the heaters as TURBO strength. The food is good and great variety for people with very different preferences needs. I love the avgolemono soup. My friend usually gets several starters instead of a main. Staff are always friendly, helpful, attentive and flexible. I also go to this spot for my girls night out because there is something for the ladies who love wine, as well as nonalcoholic options including nice mint tea."

"Chill but vibey cocktail bar. Not going for chill and vibey but just already there. The bartender, Sebastian, was very funny and engaging, and a manager was both very attentive to guests and (I happened to see when one of his back of house employees was leaving) very thankful for his staff. This place is cool!"

"I visited this restaurant for dinner and noticed that not many tables were occupied. I shared a gyro plate and hot eggplant. The complimentary bread was wonderfully soft and chewy, and the olive oil served with it was flavorful and delicious. Our food arrived quickly; the gyro was very tender and unlike any I’ve had before. However, the hot eggplant dish, which was essentially a warm version of babaganoush, didn’t stand out to me. Considering the portions and overall quality of the food, I found the prices a bit steep, totaling around $40 after tax."

"It was a pleasant supper. The atmosphere is family like. Lebanese music playing in the background. Courteous, cordial and polite service. Ready to explain anything on the menu. The food is delicious. I tried the Shish tawook sandwich. My wife had the mixed meat platter with vegetables and fries. Amazingly the fries were better than any fast food fries I have been at! The Lebanese Pilsner beer was excellent. The Blakva way delicious. The prices were decent. I was told that Friday night they have a musician playing conventional music. And on Saturday night a belly dancer will be present. Enjoy!"

"When we arrived, the restaurant acted surprised that we had a reservation and said they usually didn't take reservations for 2 on NY Eve. Very odd because I obviously made a res online. They sat us at the bar saying they were waiting for a party to leave although there were a few open tables that would have accommodated us. The owner(? stopped by once we were seated and made a strange comment about the reservation. I eat here about twice a month and it seems like this place has changed staff and not for the best. Food remained good."

"This restaurant has the most delicious ,authentic middle Eastern food I have experienced in many years. The chef and her husband bend over backwards to please. Be patient with your take out order as it is worth waiting for! The store portion has foods from many countries that you cannot find anywhere else. I do not have to go to any other stores as everthing that I need for my cooking is in the grocery store. I also love the drinks especially , the Lebanese juices. Let’s support our family owned business such as this wonderful gem. Kathleen Abbott"

"A hidden gem in Commack! The food is fantastic, and the staff and owners are exceptional. It's perfect for appetizers, seafood, and gyro plates. The location is conveniently visible from Jericho Turnpike in Commack, making it easily accessible from surrounding areas in Suffolk County. There are plenty of parking spaces, and the entrance is wheelchair accessible. The facilities are clean, and they offer public restrooms. Prices are reasonable for the quality provided. Don't miss out on the desserts—they're a must-try! This new location is excellent, and I highly recommend it!"

"This was my first visit to the restaurant, and I must say *insert drooling emoji*. My husband ordered the beef shawarma plate, while I decided to try the chicken alfredo, which I found intriguing for a Mediterranean spot. I was pleasantly surprised—the alfredo was fantastic! The portion was huge, so I was able to take some leftovers home. My husband enjoyed his beef so much that he completely overlooked the rice, only managing to eat about half of it. The pita was warm and soft, and the Greek salads we had as a starter were delicious. I definitely plan to return with some friends. Oh, and our server was amazing! She was quick, friendly, and managed everything effortlessly, including takeout and phone orders. A great place overall!"

"We went based on many recommendations as a great Seattle brunch destination. As brunch connoisseurs, I don't feel as our experience justified the high rating. I thought the service was friendly, but mediocre. The waitstaff didn't notice we were out of drinks and water, and didn't stop by the check in for a majority of the visit. When they did check in, they only inquired about one member of the party's beverage, even though we all had empty glasses. The two gentlemen on staff didn't acknowledge us for a long time when we first arrived. I noticed there were other groups that also weren't acknowledged. It's possible they are used to a host(ess) and didn't quite understand how to step up to the plate during their absence."

"Love this spot, I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because it has great food, nice staff, and a pretty outdoor area. Get the phyllo rolls with feta cheese (comes with a jam that adds sweetness and enhances that sharp tang of feta), the dolmas are some of my favorite, and you can’t go wrong with the trio of dips (although I wish they served pita instead of bread for them). I’ve also never made a reservation, but have gotten lucky and have always gotten a table."

"Very nice authentic Mediterranean place in the town! Their hummus (is without garlic) and baba ganoush is delicious. We had falafal sandwich, super falafel wrap and veggie bowl with falafel and they all were equally good. Note- their quantity is huge. They have pretty delicious sauces as well (tahini and tzatziki). The person on desk was pretty friendly and they also accommodated dietary restrictions (no onion garlic) by making a nice wrap. I like the places which are easy to deal with. Just one suggestion- if the falafel could be little more fluffy and airy than dense, it will be perfect. All in all, want a change in taste, and bored with other cuisines, I highly recommend this place."
