Wednesday night- Mio Posto- already on my blog & still y choice for outstanding for Family style Italian cuisine on long island. Wednesday we has a stuffed artichoke- excellent, zuppa de' clams over linguine and then the Veal Eggplant- tender medallions of veal topped with proscuitto and mozzarella melted to perfection served with burnt broccoli & garlic- YUM!!!!!
Thursday= Sugo- a great urban bistro in Long Beach where the menu changes constantly & very creatively I had two of their nighty specials- (I always prefer the specials) The appetizer were three plump lightly fried oysters topped with caviar & served in large oyster shells on to of baby arugula- outstanding!.
Next, the short ribs over roasted butternut squash- incredible Low & slow, fork tender huge colossal Flintstone size rib served over a large roasted buttery piece of butternut & acorn squash . Just mouth watering!! Sugo also offers , in addition to their nightly specials, a prix fixe Mon- Thursday- a great deal!!!
Friday- Bella Note in Bellmore- a local favorite- great chops, sauteed and grilled fish, and pasta dishes, all served in a a warm friendly atmosphere.
Saturday- Uncle Jack's Steakhouse in Manhattan, They have 3 locations- one ins Queens, one on the upper east side & the one I love the best, on 9th Ave between 34 & 35th st.
A beautiful steakhouse- magnificently decorated for the holidays, with two levels and the most fabulous dry aged steaks & chops, seafood & seafood towers, wagu kobe steaks, and delicious and large sides that serve 2-3 people, and a fantastic wine list. I recently sent some people here & they just loved it!!! They were lucky enough to dine in one of the drawing rooms upstairs! Downstairs, in additon to the large bar & bistro high tops for non reservations the dining room is large & lovely and there is a private presidential suite/room as well for a large party.
The Oysters (both raw & rockafeller with a twist- goat cheese instead of traditional bechamel) were outstanding as well as the caesar salad served n a chilled plate, which I love and think should be a MUST for all restaurants, and then, the porterhouse, cooked perfectly and the sides which were all wonderful- a loaded baked potato, creamed spinach and sauteed broccoli
(The mud pie for dessert wasn't bad either!)
