Decided to try this place for the first time after very much enjoying other Scotto Bros restaurants, namely Rare 650 and Blackstone. Both were a considerable amount better. I was wondering why on a Friday night is the restaurant not full. Why did it have so many empty tables at 7pm? We were told it was because of the holiday weekend. But I think it's because the place is horrible. We started off with a Caesar Salad. We asked to have it split into 2 plates. That simple request was denied and we had to do it ourselves at the table. Never had any issues at other Scotto restaurants. I've even had the server suggest that. Strike 1. Next onto our dinner. We ordered the Wagyu Tomahawk Steak special at $185. We ordered it medium and the waitress said she would bring over a hot block as my GF prefers hers medium well. The steak came out charred on the outside and rare in the middle. Strike 2. We asked where the hot plate was, the waitress stated she would just bring it back to the kitchen to cook my GF's portion a little more. Well it came back charred through. 3 pieces of charcoal is what was returned to us. Strike 3.(The side items, mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach and Mac n cheese were excellent). The waitress apologized and got the manager who compensated us for a destroyed $185 steak with a Filet Mignon and dessert. We agreed reluctantly. When the Filet came out, again, burnt outside, rare inside and smothered with mushrooms (which my GF is allergic to). Strike 4. The manager took that steak and came back with another that was finally cooked more to our liking. Next up came dessert. I ordered the chocolate Peanut butter bar, which was delicious. My GF ordered the flourless chocolate cake. We again asked for it to have no raspberry sauce due an allergy. So we get the cake and the plate has no raspberry sauce but the plate is covered with raspberries and blueberries. Strike 5. So we tell the waitress this is no good as we told her there was an allergy. She shakes her head and again takes away the dish and finally returns with the proper cake with no berries. So while I think the manager did try to compensate us for the ruined evening, I think the entire Waygu Steak should have been replaced with the same and not an inferior piece of steak. But since we agreed, I can't really blame him. But after spending $265 (roughly) for dinner, steak $185, 3 sides at $15 each, a drink $3 and tax, I can say this Restaurant will not be in our rotation of places to return to. Now I think I know why this place was not full to capacity and why Rare 650 and Blackstone had no availability during this same time period. This meal did not live up to what we expected based on past experiences of Scotto Brothers Restaurants. A name we have long considered as the premier in local...
Read moreWent to this place for lunch initially and I loved it. I loved it so much, I was recommending the place to many other people. BUT, after the last time I went there a week ago, I won’t be going back.
This is a steakhouse and upscale. The prices are as such. 70 + dollars for steak. 18 dollars for a martini. Which is fine. BUT, when you sit down and spend this type of money, there’s an expectation of service. The service is supposed to be professional. Our waitress wasn’t. All it takes is one experience like this, to lose customers. Little by little people stop showing up. My experience is as follows:
Waitress came by after we ordered drinks. She asked if we’d been there before, which we responded yes. We respectfully mentioned that someone took our order already. She responded:
“well I guess you never been here before if you don’t know 2 different people wait on the table”. - I was taken back but let it roll off my shoulders and we moved on. This was a bit rude but didn’t really bother us.
I ordered a blue cheese olive martini, extra dirty with grey goose. First one was perfect. I reordered with her and the drink wasn’t dirty and it didn’t have blue cheese olives. After waiting for a time to get her attention, I respectfully asked for another drink. She wanted to just give me the blue cheese olives (I’m sorry, is this Applebees?) no, the proper thing to do is make a new drink considering mine sat here getting warm and wasn’t prepared correctly
Waitress stated “I made it the same way as the first one, want to follow me to the bar and watch me” - I was beside myself. I couldn’t believe someone would speak to us this way when we were nothing but respectful.
She spoke to the manager and then never returned to our table, which was smart on the restaurants part. Problem is, her poor attitude left a lasting impact.
Manager poured my drink without so much as an apology. So, I’d conclude that his leadership was a reflection of her poor attitude. So it clearly starts at the manger.
The experience ruined the evening. Bill came and it was of course 300 bucks. They charged two extra things on it (either on accident or on purpose, I don’t know but they corrected it)
Bottomline, I won’t be back and I’m going to rescind my recommendation of this restaurant to the many coworkers I have that asked me to recommend a good restaurant.
I believe this is Scotto Brothers owned. Which I am a fan of them, their wedding venues, etc. but, I can spend 300-400 dollars on an evening out and a steak dinner at many other restaurants in Long Island, I don’t need...
Read moreA Memorable Night That Took an Unfortunate Turn
What started as a perfect evening celebrating our anniversary with my wife and our twins at one of our favorite restaurants (we genuinely enjoy nearly all of the Anthony Scotto establishments) unfortunately ended on a sour note.
As long-time patrons of the Anthony Scotto group, we've always appreciated the upscale yet family-friendly environments they’ve cultivated, which made this incident all the more surprising.
Throughout the dinner, our children—just three years old—were laughing and playing quietly at our table. They weren’t yelling, crying, or disturbing other guests in any way. No other diners seemed bothered, and we received smiles and even kind words from others during the evening. As we were leaving, my wife politely apologized to a nearby table just in case the kids had caused any disturbance. Shockingly, a gentleman at the table responded, “Now she wants to apologize.” At first, we thought he was joking—but it became clear he wasn’t.
Feeling disrespected, we approached him and expressed that we didn’t appreciate the comment. Our children were simply being kids, and their behavior was completely appropriate for their age. If someone prefers not to be around children while dining out, perhaps they should choose venues better suited to that preference.
I want to be clear that my intent was never to escalate the situation or make a scene—only to stand up for my family when an unnecessary comment was made. Admittedly, I let my frustration get the best of me. While defending my children, I reacted in a way I’m not proud of and flipped the gentleman’s plate. For that, I sincerely apologize to the staff and the One10 establishment. My actions led to my removal from the restaurant, and I accept responsibility for that. However, I will never apologize for defending my children, who were not in any way disruptive.
It would have been appreciated if management had mediated the situation with more balance, rather than focusing solely on my reaction without addressing the root cause. I truly hope the staff also addressed the behavior of the other patrons involved, as they were the ones who instigated this unnecessary situation and disrupted what was meant to be a special evening for our family.
A heartfelt thank you to our incredible hosts, Suzanne and Michael, who were nothing short of amazing and went out of their way to accommodate us. Your kindness did not...
