eatMOSAIC - St James, New York

Debbie

Favorite. No. FAVORITE restaurant on Long Island. My family has lived ON Long Island's north shore since 1946. (Actually, Northport/ Setauket since then. Ancestors came to Huntington late 1800's.)

Hard to describe how creative and yummy and simply sublime every meal has been here. Time after time. Different treats to feast your eyes on.... then, after one savors the beauty of the preparation, just wait till you taste those sublime flavors on your taste buds!

Here's the deal: just be hungry and think 'out of the box.'

Cause one would never even think of these food combinations. I absolutely love restaurants that serve dishes that are impossible to make at home.

Don't know which I liked more --- the creativity or the food itself!

(A 'beet' martini@!)
You get the gist.

I am not a review person. I’ve had plenty to say about plenty of spots, never wrote about it, or deleted it because I didn’t want to leave a bad review and give it another shot. I have also been a bartender and in the service industry for over a decade which has made me understand people have bad days. I am absolutely dumbfounded about the service and the food here. We walked into a room full of people with smiles, waiting to see how they could help us. The most friendly, warm, and welcoming staff we’ve had in a long time or ever. The food was incomparable as well as the drinks to anywhere I have ever been. We had a couple of cocktails so we can’t name names, but whoever was wait staff and bartending on 1/4, every single one of you are superb. We felt connected and of value to every single staff member in that restaurant, which is hard to come by nowadays. We felt like we were right at home, in every way. We found our once a month date spot, and every single penny is worth it when you go to a restaurant like this. Every person in there cares about your experience and that was apparent. Thank you so much for making a rare date night unforgettable for a young couple who finally got a babysitter.

Wow, where to begin? This was an amazing experience and I cannot believe I've never been. It has to be one of the top restaurants I've ever been to. The drinks, superb. The food, outstanding! Flavor explosion. Five courses for $111. Totally worth it. Each meal is a big surprise. You tell them allergies and food issues beforehand so they are prepared and make sure you can eat all that is served! There was a constant rotation of wait staff serving you. It was a great experience. Go! It is worth the money. Tell 'em Barsnobs sent ya!

I absolutely adored this restaurant. 10/10.

One of my biggest pet peeves with restaurants is their bathrooms. Pleasantly surprised with the decor and cleanliness. I took pictures to share.
The staff was patient and helpful, on point with drink refills and everyone had a great additude/tone.
Officially one of my favorites in all of New York.

I have been here 3 times over the last few years and every experience has been amazing. It’s classy and elegant but not snobbish. The staff is highly skilled and educated on what they do, their attention to detail is impeccable, and they’re so personable!!

The food is creative and delicious- many of the dishes are absolutely mind blowing with the combination of flavors. So so yummy! And they’re very conscious of dietary restrictions (huge plus).

It’s really cool to have such a unique and refined place with the class of manhattan without having to actually travel to the city.

eatMOSAIC is worth every penny for the experience- not just for the yummy food but for the insight you receive while eating & drinking. Both the food and drink menus are culturally eclectic and consciously curated. The timing of the plates is so spot on! Unlike so many restaurants that make you feel rushed and overwhelmed; this place allows you to truly enjoy every bite and reminds you of the beauty of savoring.

It’s a really beautiful thing they are doing and I think everyone needs to experience it if they have a chance! (come hungry!!)

I had to make sure I hadn’t passed by the Pearly Gates and was dining with Saint Peter in heaven because this meal was the definition of perfection. You would think you were in Heaven. Everything was exemplary from the warm greeting upon our arrival, to the tasty seasoned bread that was immediately served. The wine list would meet any wine enthusiast’s expectations. Our adventure commenced with a first course of a soup, which was balanced with a cacophony of flavors that gave our palette an epicurean surprise. This was the first step in a journey that exceeded our humble imagination. The next course was a salad that set a wonderful standard for vegetables. The third course was a pork dish, so perfectly balanced and delectably resting on a risotto base. When we thought we couldn’t eat any more, they delivered the finest piece of filet mignon, so perfectly salted with sea salt seating on a chick pea curry seasoned mashed potatoes. The night concluded with a plate of dessert that could have been gifts from Mount Olympus, a collection of treats that the Royal Courts and Monarchs of Europe would have relished to feast upon. A delectable chocolate fruit cake, an Italian Bombilini cake with coconut rum cream and finally a raspberry cranberry tart with vanilla ice cream on top.
The service was both sophisticated and amicable and friendly, as if we were dining with long time friends. Even the tap water, which was filter, was a wonderful surprise. We started with a carbonated natural spring water from Italy: Santa Barbara di Lurisia, which was a great choice. The entire evening, from soap to nuts, exceeded all expectations and created a memory that will stay with us until we can again return to discover what new gastronomic treasures await us.

Amazing service. Food was great. Different type of food more Mediterranean but delicious. Great presentation. The staff was friendly and had so much knowledge.
