Best Live Music Restaurants in Bayshore Gardens

Phenomenal food and service! Jonathan, our server was fantastic!

This was our first time at Arts & Central. We were immediately taken by the very nice design of both the outdoor and indoor spaces. This is a large restaurant, and it's pretty open, which can usually mean that it's going to be extremely loud, but we were pleasantly surprised that it was not too bad at all, noise-wise, with mellow music playing softly. The restaurant has an art theme, with different artist providing works that are on the back of the menu every month, according to our server, who was excellent. There were four of us in our group and all of us very much enjoyed our appetizers and our entrees. On the flipside, we were universally disappointed by the desserts. They were just ok at best, and there wasn't much to choose from. Items that our group ordered were the Seoul Chicken Sliders, Whipped Feta, 611 Salad and the Seared Scallop (appetizers), and then the Maple Leafe Farm Duck, Grilled Swordfish, Pork Belly & Octopus and the Linguini, which my sister ordered with Shrimp (as our mains). Two of our party ordered the Banana Brulee, which unfortunately came out relatively cold, and I had the Crumble, with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, which was fine, but nothing really interesting or exciting. I would definitely go back because the main menu items are all very, very good, and I would just plan to go when I'm not in the mood for dessert or feel like going someplace else for something sweet after dinner.

We love Scarpino's. I was afraid a few years back when they sold the restaurant what would happen. It is still my favorite restaurant. Food is fabulous

Second visit, this time for the set menu on Christmas Day. A wide selection was available, including a halibut special. The lobster bisque was excellent, as was the duck a l’orange. The latter was better than the usual dish, since the sauce was served on the side, leaving the skin crispy, but the inside tender and moist. The halibut was also very good. In both cases, the portion size was very generous. Overall, an excellent experience and great value.

I absolutely love this new restaurant! The service and food was excellent! I would recommend the octopus and wedge salad! The drinks were delicious and we will definitely be going back
