  Given all the fine restaurants on Long Island, a revisit to Majors Steakhouse in East Meadow is long overdue ( Google Map ).   Majors Steakhouse is simply good steaks all the time.   The menu is clean, short, and to the point, a one-pager highlighting all the goodness to follow (Fig 01).   As there were four of us on this visit, we opted for two different starters that were more than enough for all of us.   The Caesar Salad, a steakhouse classic, was rich and creamy with lots of crisp romaine lettuce (Fig 02).   The Seafood platter for two was replete with clams, shrimp, ½ lobster, and lump crab meat; more than enough for three (Fig 03).   The Entrees were the Steakhouse mainstays.   First, the Filet-N-Tail combines an 8oz Petite Filet Mignon and a 6 oz South African Lobster tail plated with mashed potatoes (Fig 04).   Next was a fine marinated Skirt Steak plated on a bed of caramelized onions and mushrooms (Fig 05).   Then, as our so...

  The write-up is a bit late, but Vincent’s Steakhouse is worth the wait.  Vincent’s Steakhouse is relatively new and located in a strip mall along Wantagh Ave in Wantagh ( Google Map ), just south of New Wave Seafood .   Bright open, and airy the dining room greets you with generous spacing between the tables (Fig 01).   The opening round of drinks was excellent, and the house wine selection was robust and suitable (Fig 02).   The menu is surprisingly long for a Steakhouse but well worth the extra time to contemplate the meal ahead (Fig 10,11).   For starters, Jo had the Caesar Salad bright fresh Romaine, good Croutons, and just the right amount of dressing (Fig 03).   The Roast Oysters Tapenade with a unique take on Roasted Oysters with just a hint of olive and is very enjoyable (Fig 04).   The Entrées are NY Strip and a Petite Filet Mignon.   With the NY Strip, the sides were Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Sautéed Mushrooms & Onions (Fig ...

  R eturn visit July 2022 Great dinner for two.  We opened with Caesar Salad (Fig 01) and outrageously good Steamers, huge, plump, not over cooked and lots of them in a fantastic broth (Fig 02).  For the entrées a Shrimp Quesadilla (Fig 03) and fantastic pair of fried soft-shell crabs (Fig 04). All of this was paired with a few glasses of a New Zealand Marlborough district Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc.  #lifood #newwaveseafood FIG 01 - NEW WAVE SEAFOOD CAESAR SALAD 15 JUL 2022 FIG 02 - NEW WAVE SEAFOOD STEAMERS 15 JUL 2022 FIG 03 - NEW WAVE SEAFOOD SHRIMP QUESADILLA 15 JUL 2022 FIG 04 - NEWWAVE SEAFOOD FRIED SOFT SHELL CRABS 15 JUL 2022

  While we are not Ornithologists, the picture sure looks to be that of a Bald Eagle (Figure 1).  I am confident the photo is not fake, as Jo snapped the shot on her walk around the Seamans Neck Park yesterday.  Last year the Hawks popped up, and one even sat on our fence until it decided to make a meal of one of the Quaker parrots that have invaded the park.  So now we have the return of a Bald Eagle; how cool and testament to the progress we all have made in improving our local environment.
