Let me begin by saying I am not a super experienced spa-goer. I have been to a few spas on vacations in nice hotels... but I wasn’t sure what to expect from a “neighborhood” type of day spa. I love Spa Bellezza because it feels like a luxury, but isn’t snobby. It’s super clean, well appointed and thoughtfully decorated without being “hoity-toity.” I feel very welcome there, the staff is professional and warm and they don’t make you feel weird about asking how much things cost. I have had several types of facials and really enjoyed them all. Always feel very pampered and the esthetician’s are knowledgeable and professional. I also had a massage here and it was great. I would highly recommend Spa Bellezza!

Dear Ken, I want to thank you and Hannah for making the brunch after my daughter's wedding beautiful and so memorable. From the first time I spoke to you, you made me feel comfortable. When we arrived, all the food was set up including the tablecloths and beautiful sunflowers that you purchased for me. Hannah was a wonderful winetender and you both cleaned up and even wrapped the leftover food. You made everything effortless for me so I was able to relax and enjoy my guests. I would highly recommend anyone who wants a celebration with a beautiful vineyard setting to have it at Palmer's Vineyard. We are really glad we decided to choose you and your vineyard. Kudos!

First Growth is a term the French use to designate a top of the line producer or vineyard, especially in Bordeaux and Burgundy. Certainly that term applies to Paumanok Vineyards. Long Island has several excellent wineries, but this one still stands out. Several days ago my wife and I visited for the fifth time and, like each previous visit, enjoyed an excellent tasting room experience. We came in to pick up 18 bottles we had purchased last Autumn as "futures" after our second barrel tasting at Paumanok. It was conducted in their cellar by winemaker Kareem Massoud, son of owners Charles and Ursula. That was an extraordinary experience for anyone who loves fine wine, and we look forward to our third this November. I'll certainly review that in depth when the time comes. But the other day, every element of a winery experience was flawless. In rating any winery, I evaluate wine quality, expertise and friendliness of the staff, and ambience and/or beauty of the tasting facility. Paumanok earns A+ grades in every category. Macey, their warm and knowledgeable tasting room manager, led my wife and me through a focused but wide ranging tasting of current vintages. She explained each wine in as much depth as the customer desires. Detailed and technical enough to satisfy any connoisseur, or clear and accessible enough for any newcomer. And she does all this with an affable and welcoming personality. That's the sign of an excellent tasting coordinator. Thanks again, Macey. Across the board, the wines are superb. Crisp and complex whites perfect for summer, a textbook dry rose' wine, Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine the equal of any Champagne, and several profound reds from standout vintages such as 2010 and 2013. We bought eighteen additional bottles, besides the futures pick up, and we look forward to enjoying these and sharing them with friends and family while our newer reds mature further. This kind of excellence throughout a lineup is rare for any winery. These fine wines are a testament to winemaker Kareem and his exacting search for quality, but also their excellent vineyards, some of the North Fork's oldest and best situated. Paumanok is exquisitely beautiful. The large tasting room accommodates a good number of tasters comfortably and has several tables for a sit down tasting. But in good weather we always seek their gorgeous wrap around deck with lush views of their estate vineyard to the west and north of the winery. After our tasting, my wife enjoyed a glass of dry rose' and I a glass of Chenin Blanc Minimalist as we relaxed on this deck beside the vineyard. Guess what we planned...our next visit to Paumanok!

This place has wonderful chocolates! I have been buying assortments for Christmas presents. the chocolates are beautiful works of art and contain local ingredients like wines and rum. The building they are in is for sale and I am hoping they don't have to move or give up the business!

We've been stopping at Woodside for almost 5 years now. Every time we stop here we re-fill our growler and they actually remarked this time that we actually still have a first run growler; as that it was the old brown glass and had the original design on it. The reason we have been coming back time and time again is first; that they are run by a great group of people. They take the time to get to know their patrons by actually taking an interest in them, asking them how their day is going, and always give a heartfelt Thank You for stopping by...all with genuine smiles. The second reason we keep coming back is the product.... they offer 6 ciders at any given time; the Traditional and Traditional Sweet are always on the menu and then also 4 other specialties; such as a Raspberry or Pineapple-Mango. I'll be honest, I'm not into the fruity varieties they all taste great, however I personally stick with the Traditional Sweet, but my wife always goes with a fruit infused cider. They also offer something not to be passed up ...cider doughnuts!!! Especially when hot and fresh... absolutely delicious. I've read other reviews touting the pies, I personally have not had one, but if the doughnuts are any type of indicator ...they must also taste amazing.
7. Esprit de France
