My family and I wanted a place that served good food and hear a live blues band. This place did not disappoint. There weren't a lot of choices on the menu, but there were good choices. At first glance, the menu seems inexpensive, but when you get the dishes, some are small plates. The sandwiches are a reasonable size though. So you may want to order some appetizers to supplement your entree. As for cost, we ordered an appetizer, 4 entrees, and 3 drinks from the bar, and the total cost including tip was $112.35. The band was great, bvut it'll cost you a $20 cover charge, so you can add another $80 on top of the food/bar bill. Overall, though, a very entertaining night.

The name made me feel like I was going ro experience the best DANG BBQ in Suffolk County! We stopped in on our way back to the NYC. Waitress was pleasant and engaging. Menu looked awesome! Beer was very good. Had the empanadas and it went down hill from there. Not very flavorful. On the bland side honestly. Maybe one day they will live up to their excellent name and marketing campaign. Portions were on the large side, however, large portions of bland food are still bland.We tried to "kick it up a notch" with the sauces named "Spicy Chipotle and the Devil's Habanero". The Spicy Chipotle was more like thousand island dressing and the Devil was on. sabbatical from the Habanero sauce. For now, leave the BBQ to those that know what real BBQ tastes like.

We tried this restaurant as someplace different then our usual eateries. The reviews were good and the menu on their web site looked amazing and now having eaten there can honestly say both were correct. The night we were there the place was jammed packed (reservations are highly recommended) so our waiter was a bit overwhelmed and that was the only neg. of our experience. Even with the crowd and our waiter a little slow getting to us and checking in once and a while (like forgetting our bread, slow getting our drinks, not checking to see if we needed anything, etc...) all was mostly forgiven once our food arrived. I had the baked lasagna and growing up an Italian NY'er I know my pasta's and what's good and what's not. This lasagna was among the best I've had (not as good as my nonnina's though). And everyone we dined with that night raved about each of their dishes. The prices were not cheap, but not over the top either. The atmosphere had a sort of a clean, industrial type feel. The soft lighting helped, but the noise level all around us was high. I gave it 4 stars for the reasons mentioned above: very, very crowded, waiter was overwhelmed and we had to keep flagging him down for service and a little too noisy for me, but oh the food, the food was amazing and would rate 5 stars. Perhaps a slower night or different time slot for our visit and it would have received an overall 5 stars, maybe(?). For me, when I write a review and score it's rating, for a place to earn 5 stars ALL the elements must be worthy of 5 stars. I do however recommend trying this restaurant and because the menu had so many tantalizing, appealing options leaving me wanting to taste and what we did have was that good I know we'll be going back.

I visited for the second time because my first time here was so wonderful. The food prep is fantastic and the presentation beautiful. But the best is the taste! Such wonderful flavors on all the dishes I have tried. This time, from the Brunch Menu, I ordered the Red Eye Benny, a poached egg on an English muffin, with glazed ham, tomato relish and paprika hollandaise sauce. It was scrumptious! I washed it down with a Peach Bellini. My fiancé ordered the Biscuit and gravy and there wasnât a crumb left on his plate! Another good meal. The rest of our group had equally delicious meals! You canât go wrong with a burger here, either! I look forward to another visit soon! Five stars for food and value, four stars for service. Highly recommend! You wonât be disappointed!

Very pretty view from most tables. I had fried scallops that were melt in your mouth tender and delicious. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their meal also. Service was friendly and good, but we were not in a rush. Just 4 women chatting and enjoying each others company for lunch. They were very accommodating by splitting a sandwich and also a dessert on 2 plates to share.

This nice spot on Main Street boasts delicious and varied food. We start with the Mediterranean Spread (many Greek appetizers and salad for 2-3 people). Shrimp Orzo and Seafood Rigati are wonderful, and there are many vegan meals and desserts. Service is friendly and attentive. Enjoy!

Attended a Retirement party for a group of approximately 40 guests in the bar area. Excellent service from wait staff. Food was delicious: hot rolls, wonderful pasta with pesto, tender sliced beef, two loaded salads, perfect salmon and chicken. Desserts of warm chocolate lava cakes as well as delicious cheesecakes. Buffet Lunch was high quality and reminiscent of an excellent sit down dinner. Could not notice that there was also a birthday party being held in an adjacent room. Felt as though we had the restaurant to ourselves. Parking was valet only and unfortunately the valet left an accessory on in my vehicle and drained the battery. No big deal but worth a mention. Special Thanks to the guest that provided a jump start. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

This was our first visit to Tellers, and it couldn't have been better. Beginning the moment we walked in the door, the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was extremely pleasant--a former bank, remodeled into a big, airy, well-lighted space, with quiet background music but without unpleasan t noise.We came on a special winemaker's night, when a set menu was paired with wines from Palmer Vineyards on Long Island's North Fork. In addition to the fixed menu, we ordered an extra appetizer, crab and lobster wontons, which were first-rate. After that, we enjoyed wonderful seared diver scallops, followed by braised short ribs with a very unique seasoning and then a top-notch creme brulee, paired with albarino, cabernet franc and rose, respectively.The bottom line is that we had a top-quality meal, and will return to Tellers again.
