I had the pleasure of experiencing the delightful appetizers of Grilled Shrimp and Eggplant (with Feta, Blue Cheese and Garlic Pesto), as well as Fresh Mozzarella, tomato and Portobello Mushroom. Â I thought they were delicious. Such a generous portion for an appetizer! Â I sampled a great chopped salad that had walnuts and vinaigrette, as well, and wanted to make that my dinner - it had a light amount of dressing, which is how I prefer it so I can taste all the vegetables in the salad. Â Really good! Â I can't wait to go for the full meal, and not just appetizers.
Review Source:my wife and I have eaten at spiro's twice with aparty of four.the food overall is very good although a tad pricey.the BLOODY MARY I had was excellent just the way I asked for it.however the best part was the service.the waitress was par excellance unfortunately I didn't catch her name .also there were another three people were helping out throughout the meal which was wonderful.PS from sunday thru Thursday there is prixe fee menu at $28 per person which is well worth it.
Review Source:I have eaten at Spiros several times. My first time was shortly after the restaurant was opened. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic.
I went there this evening with a party of six. We waited way too long for a server who turned out to be a notch over a diner veteran. Three meals were cooked wrong. A steak ordered well done came out medium. A steak ordered medium came out rare. An eggplant dish came out burnt. After the complaint about about the steak, the server took it back, the cooks simply cut it open and put it in a broiler.
I expected more from Spiros but after more than a year open i guess it was time to cut corners.
I wont be back.
Wow. This place has some good food! Â For the appetizer we got scallops with bacon wrapped around it. It was okay. It tasted dry and over cooked. I got the duck which was amazing. The hypnotic martini was also very good.
The server was very nice. The wait wasn't to long. The seating was tight. There is definitely to many tables for the size of the place. It made me feel a bit uncomfortable. If the took out a few tables (and took bacon wrapped scallops off the menu) the place would be perfect
The plus was getting a table on Friday night during happy hour without a reservation . Though it was packed it really wasn't overly loud. You could carry on a nice conversation without having to raise your voice or have your dinner disturbed by your neighbor sitting next you. Little things like waiting forever for bread to come to the table and waiting extra long for another round of drinks was just the beginning. Wrong appetizer came out, the broiled scallops were extremely bland and boring  and the Wasabi crusted Ahi tuna was uneventful and even on the stringy side. Had to reorder an espresso due to there not being any sugar on the table and it grew cold. When new cup arrived it needed more than sugar to help. Beautiful place and atmosphere and staff all very friendly. With it being restaurant week I had higher expectations and was disappointed.
Review Source:Food is amazing! Their spinach and artichoke dip is the best I have ever had!! Â The portions are enormous and prices are great! Â Service is professional and well alert. Â Everyone I talk to I always mention Spiro's and they have either been there and plan on going back soon or are going to definitely try it in the near future! Â Great Happy hour and overall an A+ for food and atmosphere.
Review Source:This is one of the best local places for happy hour. Â It tends to be packed during the week as it should be, since the happy hour specials are so well priced. Â Salads are immense, the burger is huge and there are enough seafood options for the non-meat lovers. Â The happy hour menu has vastly improved from earlier in the year. Â The staff is pleasant. Â One night, there were no seats at the bar and the hostess was kind enough to seat us at a table near the bar, where we could still enjoy the specials. Â Spiro himself tends to walk around and see how you are doing. Â That's what you call great service. Â If you are in the neighborhood, it's definitely worth a visit, just get there early.
Review Source:I had dinner at Spiro's last Saturday based on two ringing endorsements, and I'm willing to give it a third endorsement. Â I ordered Sauteed Shrimp Athenian (tomatoes, feta, anisette), while my girlfriend ordered some tasty Salmon dish, and we were both very pleased. Â The shrimp was plump and perfectly cooked and the cream sauce was ridiculous, so good! Â The dining environment was casual and cozy, not too stuffy, but nice enough to keep out screaming children. Â In a tri-town area (Mt. Sinai, Miller Place, Rocky Point) with few decent restaurant choices, I hope this place does well. Â I will absolutely return.
Review Source:I visited Spiro's on a Saturday night - the place is gorgeous and the ambiance is amazing. However, I cannot say anything nice about the food. Â We each had $30 entree's that in our opinions were NOT worth $30. Food was just plain ordinary. Â And they had the nerve to charge us $9 for 2 sodas and 1 refill! Â Really Spiro's? Â
Will not be going back again.
My wife and I have been wanting to go to Spiro's for happy hour for a while. We finally went to Celebrate our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. The people; place / atmosphere and food is Great!! Â From the appetizers which we had the Crab Cakes and Stuff Clams, to the Entrees Basil Potato Crusted Bass and the 18oz Marinated Steak which the Steak was cooked the way I like it.. all tasted amazing and will be going back again and would definitely recommend to my friends
Review Source:This is a wonderful place to stop for lunch or an elegant dinner. Really gorgeous restaurant with amazing food. I enjoyed the striped bass, which was cooked perfectly and my bf had a steak that was awesome. I also highly recommend the shrimp eggplant appetizer and the oysters's rockefeller. We had a oyster newbie w/ our party that said she didn't like oysters who ate three!
Best happy hour in the Port Jefferson, Rocky Point area! $5 massive burger with fries can't be beat and $12 gets you a beautiful 12oz NY strip steak dinner. Also, an extensive martini list which I love.....
Excellent happy hour and appetizers. Salads are huge and the hot artichoke dip is delish! Â Thursday's you can enjoy the sounds of Gene Santini singing Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. Whether you go for steak or seafood you won't be disappointed. The staff is very friendly and professional. You will see Spiro in and out if the kitchen overseeing every aspect of what is happening in his restaurant.
Review Source:This place is top notch!!!!! I can not say enough good things about it. I have been here many times to eat in the dining room and now most recently in the lounge area for happy hour. They started a new happy hour menu 7 days a week from 3-6 and again from 9-11. The prices are unheard of and the quality its still A+++++. Im telling all my friends and plan on spending many a summer night enjoying the fine food and wonderful service at this amazing restaurant
Review Source:Not only a great place to go for a nice dinner, but a wonder spot to host a party. Â We had 70 guests. Â Each was served at just about the same time. Â The food was perfect. Â So many of our guests returned for dinner on several occasions. Â The food is always amazing with great service too.
Review Source:Went to Spiros this past Friday for happy hour (3-6). Thought the clams casino was out of this world!! Ordered a cheeseburger. Â it was enormous it came on a large toasted bun with onions, lettuce, tomato, and a lg pickle on the side. Delicious!! The atmosphere charming! The beer was reasonably priced! I will definitely go back!
Review Source:Went to spiro's on a Sunday night at 6 pm. Â Good amount of people at the bar and only a few tables taken in the dinning room. Â Drinks were good. Â They gave bread which was warm and good. Â Got the fresh mozzarella and portabella appetizer and it was out of this world. Â My girlfriend good surf and turf which was delicious but you can't really mess that up. Â I got wasabi crusted tuna which was very tasty as well. The portions were large so we didn't have room for desert. Â Maybe next time... Â Â The only reason I gave it four stars was we went there on a Saturday Night last week. We showed up a few minutes early for our 8pm reservations. Â 20 minutes went by and we still weren't seated. Â Then we found out they were still seating 730 reservations so we left.
Review Source:Spiro's Happy Hour from 3-6pm and then AGAIN from 9-12pm on Mondays through Fridays with select $6 Martinis, $6 Mixed Drinks, $5 Burgers, and generously portioned 1/2 priced appetizers in a dimly-lit, casual, yet stylish bar is just what I need after work.
On the other hand, what I don't need is:
1) A sugar crash. The Happy Hour menu is obviously catered towards women, with super sweet drinks such as the Appletini, Pomtini, Melontini... whatever happened to the good old fashioned gin & vermouth-tini?
2) Valet parking. Your parking lot is no bigger than that of a 7-11. Get real!
I went to have dinner on Thursday night. Â It was great! Â We were seated right away. Â Our server was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Â She was able to help me on deciding what type of wine I wanted. Â The food was out of this world! Â I had one of the specials that night. Â I had for appetizer...the grilled eggplant and ricotta Parmesan followed by the blackened porterhouse with garlic mashed potatoes. Â My husband had the soup of the day and Chilean sea bass. Â Both meals were extremely tasty and reasonable for any comparable restaurant. Â We also were entertained by Gene Santini which was very nice. Â I would definitely come back!!! Two thumbs Up!
Review Source:Bartenders need to know when to stop tapping and start serving. Â If you advertise a happy hour at 3 o clock don't start stocking the bar at 2:45. Â Clearly professionals out at 3 o'clock for a drink are not going to be there until 7. Â They are on a schedule. Â Waiting for a lemon drop martini for 20 minutes is just not cool. Â Although the price is right for their happy hour. Â Nice clean place ....baked clams are so so... but after a happy hour at neighboring Alessandros In miller place.... I am happy because I didn't drop 80 dollars on drinks and some small appetizers. Â Spiros is good but young bartenders need to know that they need to attend to the people sitting for a drink in the afternoon rather then talking to other colleagues. Â Worth a try. $24 for 2 pints and 2 martinis plus for baked clams... if you can put up with mediocre service it's worth a try.
Review Source:I was visiting family on long island and heard about this new martini bar...
It turned out to be such a pleasant surprise! It's a great place to chill and relax with friends while drinking yummy martinis!
Plus they have some great happy hour prices on food and drinks!
Check this place out if you're in the mood for drinks but also want to be able to have a conversation with who ever your with.
Spiro's has now become by GO TO spot for drinks (along with Tap & Barrel in Smithtown/Hauppauge), apps and is the perfect place to meet my buddies or catch up with old friends. I love this place!!!
Everyone from Lea to Michelle, Gina, Anthony, Kamal and Jay are all awesome...they will all take care of you! Even Ally, one of the kitchen staff / food runners. Spiro himself is fantastic, he's always there, he'll always shake your hand and greet you, and it's become really popular recently. I highly recommend you go there!!! See you there!
And make sure you tell Michelle the manager, I sent you!
THIS has been a review by Gaurav
This is a place worth visiting over and over and over again. I have had fabulous times here in the past couple of weeks, all during happy hour.
Happy hour: M-F 3-6p, and again from 9-12. What other place on LI will you find that has a happy hour on a Friday night from 9-12? Probably nowhere. There are some appetizers that are half price during HH, and there's also the a-maaaaazing $5 gigantic hamburger.
Recommended drinks: Q-Cumber martini
I've met the friendly owner, friendly manager Michelle, and have befriended most all of the bartenders (which btw, are all HOT).
See you there!
