Island Breeze in New York

"The gentleman beside me was eating. The pork chops, I think. I forgot the bartender’s s name, so I’ll be back , good evening. Memorial Day Weekend, 2025."

"At the end of a day trip, my son and I missed the 8 p.m. ferry on a rainy Thursday evening. The next ferry wasn't running until 11 p.m. so we were thankful to find respite inside the Island Breeze. The staff could not have been more welcoming. Our waiter, Ethan, was friendly and helpful beyond our expectations. We had a nice meal and some drinks, after which, we were welcomed to stay until the 11 p.m. ferry arrived. Ethan even provided a charging cord for our cell phones. Also working were Lynette and McKenzie who checked on us frequently. As 11 p.m. approached, we noticed that these three staff members would be on the same ferry back to Sayville. We had a great time chatting with them. As we arrived in Sayville, we said goodbye and began boarding the shuttle bus in the rain. That is when the driver said it was "cash only" and I had no cash on me. Before I could get a plan together in my head, Ethan had his wallet out and was payiing the $6 shuttle cost. We tried to get his information to reimberse him but he refused. If these nice people are a reflection of how this business operates, they are well deserving of your patronage."

"What an amazing venue for great food, drinks and fun. Ask for Lucy, she’s the best!!!"

"We just had some snacks and an appetizer here but we really enjoyed the visit and our bartender very friendly and fun to chat with! Would definitely go back."

"Damn good soft pretzel. It’s huge with a processed cheesy dipping sauce that reminds me of everything my mom wouldn’t let me eat as a child and the tastiest honey Dijon sauce I’ve ever had. We had to come back to get it a second time. 11/10 ambiance if you sit on the dock at the right time of day, super cool secret tiki bar and friendly service."

"Enjoyed the food here after a long beach day. Our server was very sweet and she made sure we were taken care of. I loved the Cajun pasta which she also recommended after having a hard time choosing what I wanted. Mussels were yummy too!"

"5- star review for Linette. We had the pleasure of being served by Linette during our recent visit, and I can honestly say she made the entire experience exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we were seated, Linette was warm, attentive and incredibly professional. She greeted us with a genuine smile and carried herself with the perfect balance of friendliness and efficiency. Linette anticipated our needs without being intrusive, checked in at just the right times, and made thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be spot on! Her knowledge of the menu and her confidence in suggesting options really stood out! It’s clear she takes pride in her work, and it made a big difference in the quality of our visit. What truly impressed me was her ability to make us feel welcomed and cared for- like we were more than just customers. In a world where great service can be rare, Linette is a true gem! We’ll absolutely be back and we will be asking for Linette! Also- the food was delicious."

"The blue tsunami got me nuts. Compliments to the chef"
