Nosh Kitchen & Cocktails — Restaurant in Town of Islip

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful lunch with my friends at Nosh, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance that set the perfect tone for our gathering.

Now, let's talk about the food. We started off with the pulpo, and oh my goodness, it was a true culinary masterpiece. The tender octopus was perfectly grilled and seasoned, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that danced on our taste buds. It was a true delight to savor each and every bite.

Next up, we indulged in the clams casino, and boy, were we blown away. The combination of succulent clams, crispy bacon, and a heavenly blend of herbs and spices was simply divine. Each bite was bursting with flavor, leaving us craving for more.

But the real star of the show was undoubtedly the butcher block pork. This dish was a carnivore's dream come true. The pork was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful caramelized crust that gave way to juicy and tender meat. The accompanying sides were equally impressive, adding a delightful balance to the dish.

Now, let's talk libations. Kayla, our talented mixologist, truly stole the show with her incredible cocktail creations. The manhattans were expertly crafted, with just the right balance of sweetness and complexity. The old fashions were a nostalgic trip down memory lane, transporting us to a bygone era of classic cocktails. And let's not forget the espresso martinis, which were the perfect pick-me-up after our satisfying meal. Kayla's attention to detail and passion for mixology shone through in every sip, making her the best in the business.

Overall, our lunch at Nosh was an unforgettable experience. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and a vibrant atmosphere made it a truly outstanding dining destination. I cannot recommend Nosh enough for anyone looking to indulge in a culinary adventure. Whether it's a casual lunch with friends or a special occasion, Nosh is sure to exceed your...

If you’re looking for a place to host a larger party, I cannot begin to recommend Nosh more! This restaurant went above and beyond for my family, in hosting my brother’s wedding rehearsal dinner. I had several back and forths with Matt, the owner, who very patiently listened to all of our requests in setting up the back room for the special evening. They arranged the dinner tables in a U-Shape for a cozy environment, set up extra tables on the sides for party favors, dessert, and gifts, got us white linens for each place setting (where they typically have black instead), and even ordered bread & butter for the tables, which was an additional ask of us. They also provided us with an extra 1.5 hours to set up prior to the event. Luis and the other servers even helped us bring boxes in! Even though the event hadn’t officially began, we already had servers coming up to us, asking for drink orders and being super helpful in general. We had 3 hours for the entire dinner, but by the time apps and dinner plates came out, we were already running late. No one rushed us and we honestly had all the time we needed to finish dinner without a rush and then pack up all our things, which again the servers helped with. At one point toward the end, they and the bartender came to join us for a shot in celebration. It was a homey, yet classy experience with wonderful food & drink! I would highly recommend for...
