The Main Event — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

I'll begin by saying that had it not been for my nurse friends, I would have never walked in to the spot. Not that the exterior looks bad, it's just understated. However, after walking in you'll find and expansive interior. The fully stocked bar to the right and flat-screen TVs everywhere scream "sports bar" but the tables and booths scream "Diner." You be the judge.

As far as the food, you'll again note a very big menu covering steaks to seafood. I haven't had the guts to try either of those, but their burgers, wraps and salads are good to go. I've also had the Sweet Potato Fries (I wasn't too impressed by those. They were too thinly sliced & slightly overcooked) and the baked clams (Solid). If you're a sports fan and you want wings, I don't know what to tell you. On one occasion, one of my friends said they were good, the other said they were a little dry/overcooked. In my opinion they were worth 3/5 stars when compared to the best wings I've ever had. Again, you be the judge on that and let me know how you feel.

The bottom line is that I'll definitely go again, but here's a Grain of Salt: I've only gone during the week. So service has always been fast but there's a lot of sports on the weekends so there is the possibility (and high probability) that the service you get over the weekends may be a little slower due to high volume. The service my friends and I have had has usually been excellent. They've got very nice people on duty there.

Know Before You Go:

1. They have free WiFi! That's always a plus.

2. If you're pressed for time (hospital workers usually are while on duty), you can call ahead and have them start your order before you arrive, even if you're dining in. Their...

This was our first time here. When we entered the place was lively, A friend, my wife and I ate here on Thursday Night, 2/1 during Restaurant Week. The price was $46 per person which included one appetizer, one main course and one dessert. We ordered seafood baked clams and sweet chili fried calamari from the Restaurant Week menu. Our friend ordered the French onion soup from the regular menu. I received 2 large seafood baked clams which had plenty of stuffed seafood. It was delicious and had plenty of seafood and not overly made with breadcrumb. There was plenty of fried calamari to share among the three of us. Sweet chili sauce was slightly sweet but still very tasty. The French onion soup was cheesy an flavorful. We ordered for our main course the Land and Sea combo which is Romanian steak, 2 stuffed shrimp with seafood, garlic mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus, and the Broiled salmon with steamed broccoli and seasoned rice. Our dishes were well presented and served hot.(Sorry. Forgot to take pictures.) We really enjoyed our food. Very tasty and delicious. For dessert, we ordered the creamy cheesecake, oreo crunch ice cream cake and reese's peanut butter pie. Each portion was bigger than expected. The creamy cheesecake lived up to its name. If you like oreo cookies and crunchies then this is the dessert for you. Our friend loved the peanut butter pie. Creamy, plentiful and delicious. Overall, price was reasonable and food was well prepared and delicious. I highly recommend The Main Event...

The Main Event is a really good place for a wonderful casual dining experience. Plus it is a terrific sports bar with tons of large screen televisions all over the place! It is also a fun place with lots of great spots photos and memorabilia.

Our waiter Joey was tremendous. He was super professional, helpful and full of positive energy. One of the best waiters that I have had in a long time.

The food was great as well. We enjoyed our salads and vegetables. The main courses were all fresh, delicious and cooked perfectly. I loved my broiled scallops. They were super flavorfull! My wife's broiled shrimp was fantastic. She loved the Sautéed Spinach. In addition, my dad enjoyed his NY Strip Steak with Tennessee Sauce.

As for dessert, there was a very nice selection. My wife thought that her cheesecake was wonderful and my dad really enjoyed his apple pie. They also make a great cappuccino!

The place was a well oiled machine. The staff kept things moving along very nicely. It was also spotless. Such a clean restaurant. Also there was a good amount of space between tables; so it was a safe environment for these crazy times....

We will definitely come back for another delicious dining experience sooner than later. If you are in the Plainview area, it is worth checking out for...
