50 best restaurants on Long Island
This is a modal window.
Wait, top 50 restaurants? That’s right — FeedMe’s annual list of Long Island’s best restaurants has gotten shorter. Yet, the dining scene is better than ever. Food critics Andi Berlin, Erica Marcus, Marie Elena Martinez and Scott Vogel have been so invigorated that they were inspired to winnow 100 great restaurants to 50 extraordinary ones.
Choices reflect Long Island’s diversity of geography and cuisines, price points and formality. From the grandest steakhouse to the humblest noodle shop, the best restaurants not only serve great food but deliver personality, style and charm.

ABOUT THIS SERIES
Newsday restaurant critics strive to dine anonymously while reviewing and pay their own way. Editorial decisions are made independent of any advertising and marketing relationships eateries may have with the company; the only thing restaurants could do to get on this list was to blow us away. In this year’s expanded write-ups, we’ve given a sense of every establishment’s history, vibe and ambitions. Menus and prices change frequently — if you are looking for a specific dish or have a firm price ceiling, call ahead.
