Taste 99
Taste 99, overlooking the World Famous Bethpage Black Golf Course, home of the 2002 & 2009 U.S. OPEN, is a new, exciting, tapas style and traditional eatery. With executive Chef Phil Abshire at the helm, the cuisine is exquisite. Dine outside on the patio, or inside by the fireplace. Either way, the food and the service will keep you coming back for more.

"We had lunch, with friends, at Taste 99. The view, overlooking the golf course, is spectacular. The food and the service were both excellent. I highly recommend Taste 99 for a memorable outdoor dining experience."

"Wanted to try this place out. I'm sorry I waisted my time.
The French Onion soup was very good but I didnt get to enjoy it because I felt I was being rushed. Not only did they put my dinner plate next to my soup I was eating, instead of bringing it back to the kitchen to keep warm, or, not bringing it out in the first place. Again, not only this but, they were setting up for dinner service around us. A bunch of people were Opening up tables, walking all around our table.
Very rude. Not attentive. Amd, as far as the wrap I had, I only tasted the wrap and the tomato. I didnt taste the turkey or the mayo..
Very sorry I waisted my afternoon there."

"The service and food were both awful. Very overpriced. It was not even a restaurant. It is a catering hall that threw some tables on a dance floor. We were very disappointed. Also was very overpriced. If we were not meeting friends there we would have walked out."

"We selected Taste 99 to have a small intimate bday celebration for my mom. We got seated immediately which was good, but that was the last good we saw of the entire dining experience. We spent more time waiting for our food than eating it. Our food wasn't brought out together - half our table had food for about 10 minutes before the rest of us got food. Our waitress forgot my brother's drink, joked about it with another waiter but failed to apologize. And my dad ordered a desert, but she set it down in front of my mom and said, Happy Birthday. The worst thing of all was the food - it was absolutely horrible. I couldn't finish my plate - none of us could. My mom appreciated the nice gesture, but we all agreed, we're never coming back"

"After having gone to Taste 99 at different times I was less than impressed. Menu was very limited. We were looking for more of a small plate or tapas menu which they previously offered and had nothing in this area to ofer. Appetizers were basic not even a slider to offer"

"The food was very, very good. We went for lunch. The hamburger was cooked perfectly. I had the chicken wrap which was excellent. It was a quiet Saturday afternoon in March, so I don't know how the ambiance would be normally. It was an overcast day but the outside grounds looked lovely and on the right day, we would love to eat outside. The prices were reasonable for lunch. We would go again."

"I've gone to this restaurant many times. Don't think I've gone during the Winter, as we did this time. Don't know if I'd do it again during the Winter. I read reviews that their Winter menu is limited but I didn't know it was THAT limited. I did check it out online first, but I thought that MUST be a partial listing. We went there around 2:15PM; there was 1 table of about 6 men, just finishing up their lunch. Other than that, there was NO ONE there except for us. Of course everything was perfect. We were the only ones to serve. Waitress was very friendly. Their burgers are from the best beef I think & their fries are just perfect too. Over looks the golf course. In warmer weather, the place is packed, including Wed. nights, outdoors."

"The wait staff was very courteous, although constance vigilance was lacking. There were times when my water class remained empty a bit too long. The waitress almost dropped a plate she was attempting to remove from the table on the table. Some of the wait staff appeared to be a bit "green". We order the fried Calamari and it was oily, nothing spectacular. Both my husband and I ordered fish dishes, both were a bit bland, mine less than my husband's."
