From the moment we entered the restaurant the service and the food was outstanding. We were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday and I believe this will be the restaurant of choice for all our celebratory occasions

It's been many years since I've been back to this restaurant. Before hurricane Sandy. What a beautiful job they have done. Must be the same chef as the food is really great. Same owner and wait staff. Can't believe the warm greetings from all. Love this restaurant. More...

as a person who can't go vegan bc love for seafood is too great, this place is... perfect.Their appetizers, mains, desserts. .. everything is so flavorful and just.. delicious. The service is great, and the view is amazing too!My boyfriend's family always goes here for celebratory events, and the owners know what each of the family member likes, and are so friendly, like we're all a big family. It's so nice dining here always!Ask for their specials! Everything on the menu is amazing, everything cooked to juicy, tender perfection.The desserts are also amazing- after eating your heart out, make sure to leave some room for homemade desserts!

Thanks for an awesome dinner!  The service is impeccable and memorizing all of the specials was fantastic-didn't even need to read the menu. First time for octopus and it was delicious!! More...

I thought this place was great. It's an older crowd for sure and it's not "the mile." Probably why the food is outstanding. Everything we had from calamari to shrimp to pork chop was outstanding. Grab a drink before and/or after on the mile, but to eat a meal that's actually good and prepared well with great variety... Come here. Will definitely return. More...

My wife and I were in New York for the week and this was our favorite resaurant we went to while there. Our server was very personable and the atmosphere was cozy but not confining. There was a nice view of the water and most importantly our food was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a nice evening out. More...

We came to Pier 95 tonight for Mother's Day. We are sitting at a table with the perfect view of the marina right outside. Beautiful boats even though the sky is laden with heavy clouds . The menu is amazing. There were 16 or 18 items as main courses on the price fixed menu and a nice array of appetizers as well. The restaurant was done over after the hurricane five years ago and it looks freshened up and cozy inside. More...

This was the first time in 10+ years coming here. The service was amazing. We had the paella was delicious. We split it between two people and still had a bunch to take home. The best part of the meal was the poached pear!  It is one of the best desserts I've ever had. We have gone back to get it again. 100% recommend this restaurant. More...

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time. It was a great experience from the time I walked in to the time I walked out. The grilled octopus was delicious and the fried calamari was full of flavor. Everything was on the pricey side but the quality of the food was great and exceeded my expectations so it was worth it. We had the coffee cheesecake and the creme brûlée cheesecake...both to die for! The mojito was perfect. Last but not least, the waiter, Jose, was the icing on the cake. Very friendly and humble and made it an enjoyable experience. I can't wait to go again! More...

Rubio was the most amazing waiter I've ever come across. From the first step that we made into the restaurant to when we paid our check, he had us laughing and smiling. The food was spectacular, I had rack of lamb which was perfect, my mom had paella which was more than enough for 2 people, my brother had a steak which was done in a few minutes, my dad had lobster on rice which he inhaled and my sister had seafood linguini which she couldn't finish.. I will definitely be coming back. Everyone is so welcoming and I can't stop raving about Rubio and how amazing he is!!! More...

This is a nice restaurant.  I loved the view and the fact it is off the beaten path of the Nautical Mile in Freeport.  I had the pork chops which had a mediterrean flavor to it.  It is a little pricey.  It is also romantic if one desires that. More...

Unbelievable. I wasn't expecting this to be what it was but it was spectacular. The personal attention from the owner, the generously poured drinks, the MENU! ! Stellar. We were a group of 6 and every dish - app, entre and desert - was really flawless. The list of decadent specials was impoasible to choose from because it all sounded so good. Even the decor was a surprise with the comfy bar and high ceilings with chandeliers. Love this place. More...

By far one the Best restaurant I have ever been to! The ambiance alone speaks for the beauty and eloquence of the restaurant. Perfectly lit for a romantic dinner but serene enough for a family outing. The food was AMAZING! Large portions that are served family style. My entire family was blown away with how perfect the seafood was cooked and seasoned. Not one dish was bland or just ok. The Branzino was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and an explosion of flavor on the inside. The Paella Valenciana was to die for!!! The staff knew exactly how to make recommendations for wine as well as entrees and they were very attentive but respectful of your space even on a busy night! Luckily for us the restaurant was local and honestly NOW we have no reason to travel far for DELICIOUS food! Hope you check them out because you will definitely not be disappointed! More...

I try to go to dinner with friends about once a week and we try new restaurants every time. I called to make reservations and the lady on the phone wasn't very pleasant; she was short and wanted to get you off the phone just as quickly as you got on the phone. Basically she didn't want to give you the time of day. This set an overall uneasy mood upon arrival. However once we got there the host was very nice and seated us immediately. The food was great. We ordered the trio oysters/clam/shrimp, jumbo shrimp, and quail as appetizers and the bass and duck as entrees.But here is the BEST part of the night: our waiter (Joey from Spain) was absolutely phenomenal. Like I said, we have been to quite a few restaurants over the past few years and Joey has made it to the top of the list. He was sooooo kind and accommodating, very punctual with food and our other requests (more bread, more drinks, etc.) He had such a lovely sense of humor that really added that extra "wow" factor to our night!!! Aside from the great food, I would honestly just go back to have Joey be our waiter again because he made our dining experience a memorable one!The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the way the lady on the phone handled herself. She really tainted the integrity of the restaurant to the point where I almost called back and cancelled the reservations but I am really glad I didn't let her ruin my night! More...

My brother and I just discovered this place and had a wonderful meal here. He was very happy with his lobster. It was a generous size and he said it was delicious. My whitefish with an olive, onion and capers relish was really fresh and the flavor was amazing. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is very pleasant and clean. Service was excellent. They had a great menu plus many specials. I loved the view of the canal. They have a parking lot. Highly recommend. More...

Always excellent. From the moment you walk in, the service, atmosphere, food and wine.  The family and staff are fantastic.  If you have not been here you are truly missing out on one of Long Islands best restaurants.  We have been enjoying Pier 95 for several years now and are looking forward to many more. I find any of the negative reviews very hard to believe! More...

Loved this place. I'm from Manhattan where us foodies are very picky. My mom lives in Freeport and lives near Woodcleft, I was visiting today and she did not want to have lunch on Woodcleft, "overpriced, noisy, not a good crowd". So we went to Pier 95, and I must say we all had a wonderful meal. The service was excellent, the view very nice, the food very good. When I visited in the past we went to Rachels, but no more (mom refused to go there, and I'm glad), Pier 95 might be more expensive, but you get what you pay for: professional staff and a nice meal.

My husband and I go to this place often. We can't bring ourselves to order anything other than their amazing baked stuffed lobster. The waitstaff is always extremely pleasant and knowledgable. While the food can take some time, it is always worth the wait. Sangria is very good. When making a reservation I suggest requesting a window table. More...

Just came back from a wonderful meal @ Pier 95. We went there based upon the Zagat score and we were thrilled. All 4 of us ordered from the specials, and couldn't have been any happier. We were waited on by who I think is the owner, and the service couldn't have been better. We figured since its a Portuguese restaurant, we'd ask him to recommend the wine for the ladies and beer for the men.  Home runs with both!The soups were amazing, as was the meal and the desert was to die for.  If they have it, try the Poached Pear. My wife who'd kill for chocolate, couldn't keep her spoon out o f it once she had a taste.The view: So much better than the Nautical Mile! I love boats, so honestly, I'm happy eating a burger as long as its near the water. Instead  of looking out at commercial fishing and tour boats,  you have a wonderful view of a wider canal and 2 marinas filled with pleasure craft. I must admit, I was shocked to read the couple of negative reviews on Yelp! Then again, I guess anyplace can have an off night. More...

I have been here a few times and am overall pleased with my experence. I wuold prob. give it a 3.5 stars if i could but i rounded up. I usually order the steak diane which i really like b/c of the sauce. Today, I order the New England clam chowder and while it was sitll well made, I definitely had a few bites of cruchy sand which I don't think has ever happened to me before in clam chowder. Service has always been good and the view is fabulous and the overall ambiance in my opinion is much better then most places right on the mile. Worth checking out. More...

I've been coming here for years and there's a reason that I keep going back.  The food is delicious and the service is very good.  Try the mussels for an appetizer or the fried calamari.  The paella or the linguine with lobster, shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in light cream sauce are solid choices.  They have daily specials too so there's something for everyone even if you don't like seafood.

Last night's dinner at Pier 95 was lovely and wonderful.Marc S. and I were graciously invited by his parents for our last night's dinner in Merrick, NY.  We arrived promptly at Freeport for our 8 o'clock reservation, greeted warmly by the hostess, and seated us near the big windows...close enough so we may have a great view of the docked boats in the canal, but not close enough to be frozen by the wind draft.  We were each given a menu and asked for our beverage preference.  We opted and synonymously agreed for glasses of water and a bottle of the house Portuguese red, Grao Vasco's 2005 Dao (deep w/ a hint of fruit notes).For starters, Marc opted for a bowl of CLAM CHOWDER and I, the LOBSTER BISQUE...where we switched half-way thru the bowl.  We both agreed that the Clam Chowder was much more appetizing than the Lobster Bisque, which was lacking the creamy / milky texture with a piece of lobster meat in the center.  Ask Mr. Soup Nazi, he would agree!  Marc's parents shared the CRAB CAKES, and they found them delicious.Our main course was a ceramic bowl of PAELLA VALENCIANA (lobster pieces, scallops, shrimps, mussels, clams, Portuguese sausage, and chicken).  Marc and I shared this dish down to the last pieces in the bowl.  The seafood and meat are tender, and the rice and veggie pieces are spiced properly w/ hints of saffron.  While Marc's dad had the REGULAR PAELLA (sans sausages, chicken, and scallops), and his mom, the SEAFOOD BOWL w/ herbed white wine sauce.  Again, they found their dishes palatable.Our dessert consisted of an order of the TARTUFO (2 flavors of Italian ice cream w/ a Maraschino cherry in the center, enrobed in a shell of dark chocolate) and CREME BRULEE, paired w/ demistasses of espressos & regular coffee.  We all enjoyed the sweet offerings as we chatted away about the nuances of our relationships and tax season.  Aren't we such deipnosophists? It was a great dinner and a great night indeed! More...
