Mediterranean/Continental/Restaurant

This visit to Crabtrees was our first since it opened. Mediterranean/American style is not my first choice for eating out. But to make the wife happy and our friend happy since it was her birthday and our 50th anniversary. The service is excellent with water being repeatedly refilled and the crumbs removed very quickly. The 1st thing that annoyed me was this pesky fly throughout the whole time we were at the table. No one is going take swats during a meal so I have no solution. The front door is constantly being opened. My 2nd problem (and I know it is my fault), was the vegetables. Each dish comes with mashed potato and a mix of vegetables like yellow and green zucchini, stringbeans, and pieces of broccoli(ugh) and some slices of beets (ugh 2).For starters our friend had the buratta salad and i shared the escargot with wifey. That came in the full shell on a plate of garlic sauce which is what makes this dish so good.For main course our friend had the darla's chicken, wife had the salmon and I had the porterhouse style 16 ounce pork chop. The chop was huge and covered with sauteed peppers and onions. The chop was very good but I probably would have been happier had I stuck with my first thought of getting 2 appetizers and a salad. I studied the menu and really wanted the calamari plate and the escargot with a salad.Appetizers and salads run from $11-15 while most main dishes run in the teens to 30+.When we arrived the place was not too filled but when we left on a Sunday nite , it was packed. If you are still hungry for dessert, get the gelato.

Good place, pleasant atmosphere, famiies and dates. Lunch specials are a bargain; dinner is a bit pricey for the same food. Bronzino, shrimp, lamb, moussaka, spinach pie and the standard gyros. souvlaki, salads, pita (including whole wheat pita) and rice. Probably the best avgolemono soup in our neighborhood. We use them for catering to our office as well. .

So disappointed! Our first visit to the Westbury location was when my family and I was invited here by my cousin in 2018. When we were seated, the chef came over to our table and I realized my cousin knew the chef. The chef recommended some items and we ordered some items. All was absolutely delicious! In January, we returned, for lunch, thinking we would have the same level of quality and service. My wife and I had the BBQ Pork and my son, the Spuntino Burger, along with other items. WE WERE NOT IMPPRESSED! There was hardly any pork on the bun and what was on it, was fat, which we removed. It was not only my BBQ Pork but also, my wifeâs. The side or salad as we were told, was chick peas. Nothing wrong with the chick peas but the quantity looked like it was about 2 table spoons. For $14, one would expect a good quantity. As for my sonâs burger, it was over cooked and dry. Overall, the food appeared to be put together in a hurry with whatever was left over. Visually, it was not impressive nor did it taste like there was some thought put into it. A restaurant should always have consistency in the quality of its food.Hello, we are disappointed to hear about your recent lunch visit with us as it certainly wasnât up to our standards. If youâd please private message us your phone number our general manager would love to reach out!

Arrived w reservations seeking a quiet table. We had our choice because of the hour. Ordered our Cosmo and Martini, prepared as requested, perusing menu and considered specials. Shortly after a couple arrived. The gent immediately asked that ac be lowered and proceeded to talk very loud the entire time. Another couple joined them and his banter was so continuously loud that we asked to change our table to the opposite end of dining area. Waitstaff were genuine in accommodating. (People complain about children in restaurants...he surpassed them and should know better!)So the dinner:Hearty bread, roll, butter and red pepper sprinkled cured olives on table Appetizers: clams casino, empanadas...two each of shrimp*, beef, chickenGratis plate of potato chipsMain: branzino* simply grilled and bone removed table side, mariscado verde...shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels but lobster was but a bite and shell tail empty...nice verdeSides: excellent seasoned fluffy rice, steamed potato and vegsDessert: MolotovAs we left dining room filled more, and an adjacent room was truly filling with young adults enjoying an evening out. Good sign!Fine service.
