Press 195 — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I've always loved Press 195 - The food is always tasty, and the environment is cool. I'd done a video review here years ago, and I can tell you, my fans loved it as well - and continue to love it to this day. My favorite are the fries and dipping sauces, but everything is pretty tasty, so you can't really go wrong. Took me awhile to write this as I was a bit unhappy with my last experience here... I didn't want to write anything not positive, but I was really annoyed at the server we had on the last visit. I felt the server was beyond inattentive, took his sweet time to greet us, bring water, refill water, etc. That wasn't the worst part - my wife went to pick up her glass of water and shockingly... the bottom of the glass FELL OFF while she was still holding the top of the glass in her hand! Water was everywhere, and the server watched it in real time. They cleaned it up, no apologies, no getting the manager, and no adjustment at the end - he could've even apologized for what happened and took off the sauce charge for the fries... but didn't bother. Rather than my usual 20% tip, I gave 15% as I was incredibly annoyed that he didn't bother to perform any bit of customer service. Maybe he pre-judged me, because the other tables, it seemed, were being serviced just fine. I do love the place and food - but the service is your first line of defense for ANY restaurant. Dropping a bill of over $100 - an acknowledgement of the issue would've been nice... regardless of if I know the people in charge or not. I'd...

YUM!! is all I can say about Press 195. I’ve come here twice now and I can’t wait to come back at least 100 more times. Came here Saturday it was a little busy but it’s RVC what do you expect? We waited probably 15 minutes and got a table. Boyfriend got the Brisket Knish (not a fan of brisket but it looked delicious) I got the #44 under Poultry, the Crispy Panko Breaded Chicken Cutlet with homemade marinara, fresh basil, parmesan reggiano & fresh mozzarella. It sounds as good as it tasted!! We also got the Belgian Fries for 2 and there was more than enough for leftovers later lol!! We couldn’t decide on sauces so we did the 3 sauces for $2 which is probably the best way to go especially if you want to try ones that you wouldn’t normally because at least you have two back up sauces to chose from. We got the sweet onion ranch, the roasted garlic and their famous chipotle mayo. I definitely wanted to take the chipotle mayo and the roasted garlic one home with me and the sweet onion ranch was yummy too but i gave that one to my boyfriend the other two were by far my favorite. This is a great place in RVC to come for some good food!! The waiter was sweet, very attentive despite it being so busy, and friendly!! Come here and fall in love with...

Update 7-18-25 What happened to this restaurant? I ordered Belgian fries they were absolutely disgusting. 12 bucks for a block of greasy soggy potato strips. So gross. I put them in broiler on high for 5 minutes and the grease just poured out of them. I couldn't even crisp them! Even earthworms are more rigid than these. See photos! If you have s strong stomach. The sweet potato fries werent much better. Whoever your fry cook is..should be fired immediately ..along with the manager who is supposed to check quality of all food before it leaves the kitchen. Just awful, appaling that you would allow anything like this to leave your restaurant. Horrible.

Ordered on GrubHub was cheapest. Mozzarella discs were good as well as marinara sauce. Citrus salad was ok but walnuts were kinda gross..not carmelized as advertised..but coated in confectioners sugar? The dressing was rather lack luster more of a creamy oil and vinegar. The hummus appetizer was fresh BUT spicy? Is there chili powder in the hummus? If there is you should warn people.The mushroom/olives were fresh ..peppers tasty. The roasted pork sandwich was delicious. Meat was moist and flavorful. Overall decent fair. But bring your...
