Wantagh Inn — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I came here for a party in their upstairs private rooms. The waitresses at the party werent exactly the friendliest. And when I was setting up the place for the party, they have some strict rules to follow for decorating. I understand certain things but it seems like they implemented these rules because they dont want to be bothered with so much cleaning themselves. But it is a party, people are going to want to decorate. The place itself is clean and it seems like its always busy. The parking lot is so small and the street parking is mostly one hour only parking around there. The food that we were served at this place was mediocre. I've had better food at other places. They did give you good choices though to choose from the menu when you are there for a party though, which I did appreciate. Their portion sizes seemed pretty small to me compared to other places that I have been to. Then they put out pitches of soda but the soda tasted flat. Their punch was good though. Also, the party room is upstairs so you would have to walk it, not too sure if they have some kind of small elevator there though since I didn't ask. It didn't look like it to me, but wouldn't hurt to ask. So the question now remains...would I, personally, go back there? Not for a party, I wouldn't but I would go back there to try the actual restaurant by itself just to see if they give me a bigger portion size of food and to try something else on the menu. So yeah, I would give it another shot on it's own but I wouldnt go to another...

The pup style restaurant was very loud and the reception area was confusing. There was no place to wait except a loud bar with an enormous TV. When I didn’t want to sit by the noisy kitchen door I was told I would have to wait another 3 hours for a table bc they had no other. Then they showed me another spot outside which was even noisier so I took the previous table after I was told “I wasn’t going to win this one” I told her I didn’t know I was at war. (My daughter has sensory issues and cannot tolerate loud noises.) It took 2 hours and 50 minutes to have soup or salad, an entree and a dessert which she couldn’t bother telling us what our three choices were. We had to look at the menu and, again,wait for her return. The waitress never brought us our bill. We got up and stood by the cashier waiting to pay. When she finally showed up she said oh! Didn’t I give it to you? I gave her 20% of the subtotal which was far too generous. Wasthe food good? Yes, but certainly not worth the aggravation of waiting for everything including water, bread, cutlery and everything other thing described and being ignored by the...

The quintessential Irish pub in the heart of town where everybody knows your name! If they don’t you’ll make friends quick! Lol Love the dim lit atmosphere in the bar area with flat screens to watch the big game, super friendly bar staff and patrons alike,Good selection of cold beer on tap as well as bottles, probably one of the best poured black and tans I have ever had also which is no surprise here, the star of the show though is the food! It’s phenomenal, everything from the huge juicy burgers to amazing steak sandwiches and of course the unforgettable shepherds pie!I cannot forget the wings which are some of the best on Long Island @ this hidden gem that’s been a staple here for years, Walk to the other side and you will find a beautiful dining room with a working fireplace and comfortable seating,I noticed they have great specials going on daily and look forward to coming back with my family to eat in the dining...
