Otherside Wine Bar — Restaurant in City of Glen Cove

We came here for lunch. The food was all very tasty. The service and portion sizes were very disappointing.

Two of us ordered the Garganelli, for $23 each. This was not listed as an appetizer and was a main plate. The dish contained a total of 11 pieces of pasta. That’s about $2 per piece of pasta. While it was tasty, it left us unsatisfied and a feeling of being ripped off. The appetizer that we ordered was larger than this dish. I complained as I felt this was not acceptable, and the server didn’t have much to say other than that people usually just share plates. He then offered us some bread as we were still hungry and not happy with the food. Later when we got the bill, we saw we were charged $4 for the bread. While it’s not a lot of money, it just felt silly especially after everything that happened. The service was also mediocre, as we had to ask for more water every time we ran out. He felt very inexperienced and shallow as a waiter.

While the food was good, I would not go back. The service was lacking, and the portions were small...

I am from a city in the Pacific Northwest with an extraordinary farm to table culinary scene and a fantastic local wine industry. Honestly, I have not been terribly thrilled with the offerings on LI and particularly in Nassau County (sorry if this offends anyone). This was my first visit to this place and, well…wow. I got there at opening, thus it was very quiet. I sat at the bar and was warmly greeted; wonderful conversation with the bartender, who hails from Gramercy Tavern and was quite knowledgeable about the food and beverage offerings. I had the burger and a wonderful glass of a suggested red wine. The burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were crispy and delicious. A second server checked in on me periodically and she was lovely. The ingredients are of high quality, local, organic and sustainable where possible, and the prepared food very flavorful. This was a delightful combination of true hospitality, a warm and comfortable ambiance, thoughtfully prepared food, and very good wine. I highly...

This was my second time here and it was sadly a disappointment this time. Food was great, but the service and tables left more to be desired. Went for an anniversary dinner and upon arrival for our reservation we were seated at a tiny table with folding chairs in the back of the restaurant that seemed to be an after-thought addition to seating. Good thing we didn’t get a charcuterie board because it would be the same size as our table! We wound up switching tables to something more suitable for 2 people. Service was slow and the staff had a problem figuring out what our order was because we had switched tables. One of the multiple waitresses we had offered ketchup with the fries that never came. The table next to us was never offered dessert before their check was brought and we were never offered coffee once they brought out our pre ordered price fix dessert. Other restaurants also usually acknowledge when you note that it is a special occasion on the reservation, but they...
