Best Mediterranean food near Staten Island, New York, United States

April 7, 2020 Russell Mellin

Reviews on Mediterranean food in Staten Island, New York, United States. The most suburban of the five boroughs, Staten Island is often neglected as a tourist destination. Take a ride from Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry and get some of the best views of New York City for free, then stick around and see what Staten Island has to offer. Check out the Himalayan monastery-style Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, or visit Historic Richmond Town for a recreation of colonial New York. The beautiful Hamilton Park neighborhood was the setting for "The Godfather."

Great deal especially for the portion sizes. Can add unlimited wine, sangria or beer for an extra $10 but is limited to a 90 minute seating. Service was a little slow for my liking the night we went, as we opted to sit outside, which is more enjoyable and much quieter but was too warm this evening. I dropped the review down to an average on (2) factors. Food was good, just no wow factor, and I think there were a total of 9 fans. 6 had no blades, and one of the 3 oscillating fans was not working either. To me, this is unacceptable when your offering outdoor seating. Would definitely return. Sit indoors if it is extremely warm. On a cool night, I would choose outdoor seating.

Taverna on the Bay

Reviewed By Brian M

We dined here last weekend and we were a party of 6. We arrived for reservation on time and we were seated immediately which was nice. The restaurant was crowded which gave us a nice vibe. This place came highly recommended. So we sit down and the hostess said the waiter will be right with us. 30 minutes later (no exaggeration) the waiter came over to introduce himself to us and to ask if we would like something to drink from the bar. We stated we didn't even get menus or water yet. 10 minutes later we had water and menus and another 15 minutes to get our drink order (although the tap beer which was order took another 10 minutes). So basically 55 minutes after sitting we received our drinks. We did try to get the attention of the waiter, the manager and the owner several times to ask where the drinks were. Anyway, on to the appetizers. The apps came out fairly quick but very sporadic.We ordered 5 different items and 3 of the 5 came out separately. The pizza was room temp, which was disappointing but the other apps came out hot.The dinners arrived hot and pretty much at the same time which was a nice surprise. Everyone in our group thought the food was absolutely delicious but the service was very poor. Several times we tried to get the attention the waiter to ask for another drink, or hot pepper etc. but it was like pulling teeth. Finally, we were able to get the attention of the manager to tell her what we needed and it took almost 20 minutes to get the drinks etc. They were definitely understaffed and it showed. The owner came over to the table apologizing but by then a few of us had a bad taste for the restaurant, Although the food was delicious, I'm not sure I'll run back there, but maybe down the road we will try. Prices were reasonable, food was delicious but service was poor at best. This is why its a mixed review.

First time here and very impressed. Dining room is nicely decorated and clean. Open kitchen is appreciated. Service was attentive and polite but most importantly food was well seasoned and delicious. Appetizers of hummus and eggplant salad was great. Entrees of beef and chicken shish kabobs were nicely done and come with salad and rice. Prices are reasonable and they do take out and delivery. We will be back.
