Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Middle Island

My mother-in-law, wife & I fully enjoyed the Monday special at Spiro’s tonight. I used OpenTable to book 6:30 for our reservation a few nights ago and so happy I did. We’ve dined there a few times and never had a negative experience, bad drink or exceptional meal. Tonight was no different. The staff was particularly chipper and friendly. The salted caramel espresso martini was full and flavorful. The baked clams (X2), 2lb stuffed with lobster (X3) were delectable and my wife enjoyed the Greek salad! Who stuffs lobster with bay scallops??? Spiro’s does! While they were out of the chocolate mousse, they offered their cheesecake, which was sweet, creamy and perfect. Several of the staff wished us Happy Thanking upon exiting. Just a wonderful experience and we’ll be back!

We came here for our birthdays and we were incredibly blown away by the service and the food. We had shrimp and lobster wontons and the miso mustard was 10/10. Then for entree we had the petite filet and waygu hanger, both outstanding. Sides were whipped potatoes and creamed spinach. I would highly recommend this place the food was just amazing.

Dishes that are inventive, without being silly or pretentious. Try the Peking duck salad. The salads are a full meal.

This is our favorite local restaurant and it never fails. We all had their week night special, price fixed menu and it is an incredible value for the amount of high quality food you receive. The staff was great as always. This is a can’t miss deal during the week.

My wife and I had an excellent meal last night at The Halston. Started with some wine from a fairly extensive but reasonably priced beverage list and proceeded to order a Tuna Sashimi appetizer followed by 2 entrees that we shared which were the prime sirloin steak and the Nova Scotia salmon. The steak came to the table sliced into about 15 slices and cooked perfect to medium rare. The salmon was broiled and came with some roasted corn. We ordered some creamed spinach as well and shared a brownie for dessert. Our server Chris was attentive but not bothersome and all in all, a great meal. We will return for another meal in the near future.
